Chapter 198 Absurdity
Xie Xun frowned slightly. At first, he was displeased by Gu Zhiyi's obviously impolite behavior, but then he thought about the series of events that had happened recently. He couldn't help but wonder if she had discovered some unknown secrets. Is there something hidden behind the storyteller?
"Zhiyi is not a rude person, there must be something fishy going on."
His words caused a huge uproar in this small hall.
Does Mr. Xie really dote on that fake daughter so much?
Faced with such an obvious misconduct, how could he turn a blind eye?
Gu Zhiping was so angry that her palms were about to bleed.
This heartless man!
Gu Zhiyi was more and more surprised, and her eyes were full of confusion when she looked at Xie Xun.
After a moment, a hint of alertness flashed in her eyes.
Did this person want her to plead for Chao Yunxuan?
Don't think about it.
Xie Xun originally thought that if he stood up to defend Gu Zhiyi, even if she would not be grateful to him, she would at least look at him with gratitude.
However, she looked at him as if he were a thief.
Gu Zhiyi turned her eyes away: "Why would you feel moved by such a horrifying story?"
"Shock...shock?" someone asked in confusion.
Gu Zhiping secretly sarcastically said, "Sister, how could you have such an idea? This is obviously a warm and happy story. You can't maliciously interpret other people's happiness just because of your own unfortunate fate, right?"
Gu Zhiyi ignored her and glanced at the faces of the noble ladies present: "You all envy the heroine in the story so much, so if you have a daughter in the future, will you allow her to date a poor boy?"
"Even if she broke up with you for the poor boy, you could remain calm and even be moved by their 'beautiful love'?"
Some people felt suffocated after just a little thought: "How is it possible? If someone dares to kidnap my daughter, I will never let him off easily!"
As soon as she finished speaking, the noble lady realized her slip of the tongue and looked around awkwardly.
The ladies all looked away uncomfortably. Although they agreed with what the lady said, they would not laugh at her.
However, they are not on good terms with Gu Zhiyi, so naturally they will not stand on her side.
Xie Xun felt like an innocent stray dog who was kicked for no reason.
Although he is not a girl, he can't help but feel the same way.
Seeing that everyone was speechless, Gu Zhiping was so angry that her teeth itched: "Marrying a daughter to a poor boy is indeed full of risks. Most parents would hesitate about this."
"But no matter what, the two people in the story finally lived happily, didn't they? The man became the top scholar, and the woman was also named a royal lady..."
Gu Zhiyi interrupted her: "The woman suffered a lot in the man's house, and was only posthumously named a royal lady after her death. Do you want such glory?"
This story is full of macho fantasies and bloody plots.
A rich girl fell in love with a poor boy, but was strongly opposed by the girl's parents.
The poor boy's family warmly welcomed the arrival of the daughter.
However, the daughter's parents refused to agree and even threatened that if their daughter had any contact with the boy again, the poor boy's family would not be able to gain a foothold in the local area.
Therefore, the poor boy and his family moved to another city a hundred miles away with their wealth and started a new life.
Without the approval of their parents or the help of a matchmaker, the couple simply held a wedding celebration.
The rich young lady did not accept any betrothal gift, while the poor boy had nothing at home and was extremely poor.
The young lady became a poor woman overnight. She found it difficult to adapt to the daily life of plain food and drink, and could only rely on the money she brought with her when she got married to supplement the family income.
It was not until ten years later that the poor boy finally passed the imperial examination and became the top scorer in high school.
At this time, the daughter had exhausted all the savings from her mother's family and even sold her jewelry and clothes, completely completing the transformation from a wealthy daughter to a poor woman.
The poor boy's mother gradually showed the authority of a mother-in-law.
The young lady, who was once surrounded by servants, not only had to serve her mother-in-law and sister-in-law after marriage, but also had to take care of household chores. All the burdens fell on her thin shoulders. As a result, the young lady of the past became a wife of poverty.
After the male top scorer graduated from high school, she was indeed promoted to the top scorer's wife.
However, the good times did not last long, and she passed away due to poor health.
After her death, the man married the recently divorced daughter of the Ningguo Mansion and became the Ningguo family's son-in-law.
This story is both bloody and realistic, and terrifying.
However, it is this reality that highlights the loyalty and preciousness of so-called love.
faithful?
Humph.
The woman is loyal and the woman is precious.
This so-called love is nothing more than a man greedily sucking the blood and sweat of a rich girl, and then ruthlessly abandoning her when she has lost her usefulness. This is a chilling tragedy.
Gu Zhiyi mercilessly analyzed this story and refuted it thoroughly: "Cross-class love is indeed precious, but the preciousness is only the courage. The rest of the value depends on whether the character of the parties involved is worthy of praise."
Xie Xun asked curiously: "Then what kind of people do you think are worthy of praise?"
"If I were the woman or her mother, before deciding to marry her off or letting my daughter marry off, I would first consider the other person's character."
"It is the same poor parents who work hard to raise their son. If the son knows how to be filial, he will do his best to reduce his parents' burden besides studying."
“A true gentleman cannot be simply summarized as staying away from the kitchen.”
"What is a gentleman? In my opinion, he should be loyal to the country, good at strategy, filial to his parents, willing to share the burden, cherish his wife, be considerate, love his children, and set an example. He should not indulge in his parents' hard-earned money, and slack off in the name of studying."
"He will not push the responsibility of supporting his parents onto his wife after she gets married, but will share the responsibility."
"Many men always say when they marry a new wife, 'My mother raised me with great difficulty, you must respect her well after you marry into the family'... Such words are really laughable."
"His mother's hardship is not caused by the new wife, but by a husband who does not love her and a son who does not know how to share his mother's worries. He himself has enjoyed all the care and love of his mother, but he wants to push the responsibility of support to the woman. This is really ridiculous!"
Gu Zhiyi's eyes were clear and deep, as if she could see into people's hearts.
Xie Xun felt uncomfortable under her sharp gaze. He hurriedly reflected on himself, wondering if he had said the same thing when Gu Zhiyi joined the sect.
Thankfully, he didn’t.
But what's frustrating is that he has said even more nasty and excessive things.
He really wanted to find a hole in the ground to crawl into.
The noble ladies present were also deeply shocked by Gu Zhiyi's new insights.
Gu Zhiyi's words were like a bolt from the blue, shocking every noble lady present. Their understanding of the relationship between men and women seemed to be reshaped.
The ladies began to think deeply, are the rules and regulations they have always followed really correct?
