"But..." Yao Anling clenched the handkerchief in confusion, "Didn't you say that women should stay together forever?"
The old lady has remarried, how can she remain chaste?
Moreover, the old lady is not young anymore, she has remarried?!
Yao Anling felt that her three views had been shattered.
When Mrs. Yao Er saw Yao Anling like this, her heart tightened. In front of Mr. Yao and Yao Anhong, it was hard to say anything. She could only say that this was the imperial edict of Emperor Mingguang, and that the imperial power was beyond heaven.
Yao Anling said: "Is it because the rules of this world are made by men?"
Mrs. Yao Er's expression changed on the spot: "Who taught you this?"
She looked at Mr. Yao and Yao Anhong warily, fearing that they would be unhappy.
Fortunately for Yao Anhong, he was her son and she could suppress him, but Mr. Yao was her husband.
In this era where "husband is the most important thing", how could she be able to overpower him?
Yao Anling looked serious: "What the old lady said. The old lady once said, why my cousin and I have to learn these various 'rules' and why we must memorize the "Female Ring" is because these things are
Made by men. Because they are made by men, all rules are based on the interests of men, and no one will consider the interests of women."
Mrs. Yao Er's eyes widened: "...Old lady, teach you this?!"
At this point, she didn't dare to look at Master Yao's face anymore.
Although she didn't teach her, this...
Oh My God!
Is the old lady too bold?
Yao Anling looked confused: "Yes, what's wrong, mother, why does your face... become so strange?"
Yao Anhong raised his forehead a little, sister, where is your usual cleverness?
My father and I are still here. Can my mother change her face?
"Ahem!" He coughed twice, "Sister, I suddenly remembered that you left a book at my son's place last time. You happen to have some free time now. Go and get it from my place."
Regardless of Yao Anling's wishes, Yao Anhong took her away.
Mrs. Yao Er breathed a sigh of relief. When she faced Mr. Yao, her expression was a little awkward. She was still thinking about how to make this matter right.
Although it was taught by the old lady, what if Mr. Yao heard it and thought he was stirring up trouble?
Mrs. Yao Er really wanted to say that this matter was none of her business.
Soon, she realized that she had thought too much.
Because Mr. Yao frowned and said, "How can mother teach Sister Ling such a thing? What if her future husband hears it and misunderstands her? What do you mean, mother?"
"Ah? I...I don't know, maybe..." Mrs. Yao Er said, "Old lady wants to make Sister Ling sober up and not indulge in petty love. After all, with the current situation of our family, Ling
I will definitely not marry poorly in the future. If I come from a wealthy family, if I am like Sister Xin and marry into a wealthy family..."
You can't count on the second master Yao. You must either count on the uncle Yao in the next room, or count on Yao Anhong to make a career on his own in the future. Otherwise, if Yao Anling really joins a wealthy family, she may be severely suppressed by her husband's family.
Second Master Yao didn't say anything, he just said: "You can teach Sister Ling more in the future and don't let her say anything to others. It's okay for our own family to hear it, but it's not good for outsiders to hear it."
Mrs. Yao Er did not expect that Mr. Yao Er was not only not angry, but was worried that Yao Anling's words would be heard by outsiders. She did not say anything to her, but said tentatively: "You... don't mind? Don't you think Sister Ling's words are a bit treasonous?"
?"
Second Master Yao shrugged: "Since it was taught by my mother, there must be a reason. We can't understand it, but we can't hold my mother back. Maybe we will understand it later."
Mrs. Yao Er: "..."
Master, do you trust the old lady too much?
But considering that the old lady can even handle such a big thing as "remarrying", it seems that there is nothing she can't handle.
If the old lady hadn't said it herself, they wouldn't have known that the reason why the old lady remarried was...
The handkerchief in her hand tightened, and Mrs. Yao Er said that actually Mr. Yao was quite right. Sometimes they couldn't understand the old lady's arrangements. If they couldn't understand it, then don't do it. Just listen to the old lady.
It's your arrangement.
For such a big thing, it was natural to notify the three-bedroom family who had moved next door.
Even though they moved out, it wasn't long before they started to have a relationship, which was a bit bad.
It's just...this imperial edict frightened Aunt Chen and Mrs. Yao San.
What?!
Now it is decreed that the old lady should remarry?!
My dear!
How old is the old lady, and she still remarries?!
Wait, the old lady’s age...
Aunt Chen's eyes widened: "Old lady, she is almost the same as me. How can she remarry?!"
Mrs. Yao San was also stunned: "It's His Majesty's order... Could it be a mistake? Maybe it was given to Sister Xin, or Sister Ling... How old is the old lady? How is it possible? Chong Chong
The prince shouldn’t be very old, right?”
"Not old, I haven't gotten married yet. It is said that I am not in good health. I have been seeking medical treatment outside and rarely return to the capital. I don't know if my health is getting better now... No, haven't you met Prince Chong? Chong
The prince is the godfather of Master Yao Jiu." Aunt Chen stared at Mrs. Yao San with a puzzled look on her face.
"I forgot!" Mrs. Yao San slapped her forehead, "That's the case, it's even more impossible. Anyone in the Yao family can do it, and it can't be the old lady."
"Isn't that right? We'll find out when we get there."
…
The two of them quickly went to Yao Mansion.
When they heard the news from Gu Qingling, their eyes widened in shock: "It's true?! Old lady, how could your Majesty... issue such an imperial edict?"
Gu Qingling said: "How do I know what the royal family means? No matter what he means, is it possible that I can still resist and disobey it?"
That's right, let alone how outrageous this imperial edict is, as long as this imperial edict is issued by Emperor Mingguang, no matter how outrageous it is, the Yao family will still have to comply with it.
Otherwise, the Yao family will just disobey the decree, and it will really be over by then.
Aunt Chen was uneasy: "Old lady, do you think, from your point of view, is this a good thing or a bad thing?"
If it were other girls in the family who were not yet married, Aunt Chen might not think much about it, but when it came to the old lady, Aunt Chen would still be a little worried.
"How could the royal affairs be a bad thing? It must be a good thing." Gu Qingling said, "Don't think too much about it. The families have been separated anyway. I have to worry about my dowry and other things. No matter what happens,
I won’t be able to cause trouble to your third wife.”
Aunt Chen felt that she had made a mistake. Yes, it was related to the royal family, how could it be a "bad thing"?
Even if it is, you can't say it in front of so many maids.
Fortunately, Gu Qingling helped her make up for her request. Aunt Chen quickly said a few auspicious words, looking very happy, and then sent away the maid and Mrs. Yao San from the room.
"Old lady, now that there are no outsiders in the house, you can tell the truth to me now."
Gu Qingling was a little bit dumbfounded. Even if there was something else, it was impossible to tell Old Aunt Chen. How did Old Aunt Chen think that she would confess to her?
"I'm telling the truth," Gu Qingling said, "I know what you are worried about, don't worry, I know it in my heart. As long as you don't care what is said outside, do what you should do, and don't hold me back. As long as it involves
Coming to the royal family is not a trivial matter, but it is not necessarily a bad thing. In a sense, it is a step forward for the Yao family to have a woman who can be the princess."
