Chapter 1727: To Marry a Wife Was to Marry Virtue

Chen Ermei’s forbearance did not make Li Gouzi treat her well. It only made Li Gouzi increase his abuse. Ultimately, this was how women were restricted and oppressed in this era.

Ning Shu returned home with her elder brother, Chen Li. As soon as they walked in, Father Chen stormed over to hit Ning Shu with his smoking pipe.

Ning Shu wasn’t the type to stand still and let people hit her, so she dodged and avoided his hit.

“You dare dodge?” Father Chen’s eyes were bloodshot and fierce.

Lady Li mediated from the side, “That’s enough, old man. Isn’t Ermei back?”

Father Chen sat on the bed-stove and inhaled deeply from his pipe. He angrily said, “You’re already all grown up. You shouldn’t be doing things that make me lose face. It’s even been said that you and Li Gouzi have grown close.”

Ning Shu rolled her eyes. “Father, how could I be with Li Gouzi? Li Gouzi was clearly in Fang Yong’s house. He was even sleeping there. What does that have to do with me?”

“Fang Yong’s wife came to tell me and your mother that you disappeared while weaving knots.” Father Chen knocked his pipe on the small table placed on the kang bed-stove.

“All I did was go to the toilet and Bai Yiqiao immediately became worried. Who knows what she’s plotting?” Ning Shu said. “I’m never going to her house again to learn how to weave knots from her.”

“If you don’t want to go, then don’t go. Weaving knots can barely make any money. It’s enough for you to do all your tasks at home well,” Father Chen said.

Ning Shu smiled. “Thank you, Father.”

“Go and feed the chickens,” Father Chen said.

Ning Shu lifted the curtain and walked out of the room. She picked a few yellow vegetable leaves that had insect holes in them from the vegetable patch at the door, then chopped them up and fed them to the chickens.

Chen Li, while helping Ning Shu with the chores, said, “I don’t think Sister Bai is a bad person.”

“Because Bai Yiqiao is pretty, right?” Ning Shu looked at Chen Li.

Chen Li nodded honestly. “She’s very pretty. Many people say that Fang Yong must have burned a great amount of incense to marry the daughter of a scholar, who also turned out to be virtuous and beautiful.”

“Tch.” Ning Shu sneered. The eyes of men could only see appearance. When it came to a wife, they looked at her eight birth characters. When it came to a concubine, they looked at her beauty.

To marry a wife was to marry virtue, not to marry beauty. In Ning Shu’s opinion, Bai Yiqiao completely acted like a concubine.

She was already married to Fang Yong, but she still did this kind of thing to Chen Ermei.

In her previous life, Bai Yiqiao was caught having an affair. She was found sleeping with a young manservant from the household, on the same bed. The household’s official wife used this adultery charge to break her leg.

In this life, Bai Yiqiao used the same scheme on Chen Ermei.

Ning Shu really couldn’t figure it out. Why would this kind of person get a chance to be reborn?

Bai Yiqiao was indeed a genuine green tea bitch. Although she was loyal to Fang Yong after her rebirth, in her past life, she tried everything she could to capture the affections of a rich young master. In this lifetime, the rich young master fell in love with her again.

He even went as far as getting divorced with his wife for her, and then proposed to her.

The reborn Bai Yiqiao seemed to have gained cheats. Her business raked in money. She knew that troubled times were coming, that Fang Yong would participate in the insurrection, and that she had to buy and grow food.

She often sent food and clothing to the rebel army, which made the members envy Fang Yong for having such a good wife. Even the leader of the rebel army, the future emperor, had a good impression of her.

But the reborn Bai Yiqiao vowed to live a good life with Fang Yong and be his other half. She did not care about other people.

In the end, Bai Yiqiao naturally became a legendary woman.

Ning Shu: Ha ha ha…
