After being exiled, I led my whole family to rebel.

Chapter 36 Girls can also be ambitious

Xu Lezhi frowned and looked very embarrassed. While looking at Mrs. Fang's face, he deliberately hesitated and said: "My sixth sister has great ideas. When she met her fiancé's family in prison, she broke off the engagement. , she...she insisted on being compensated 500 taels of silver...My father complained that a woman exchanged her marriage for some common things, which affected the reputation of the Xu family, so he reprimanded her. Who knows..."

Xu Lezhi shook his head, "Who would have thought that she would actually utter arrogant words about disrespecting her elders. One moment she complained that our second wife had caused her trouble, and the next moment she proposed to separate the family. She was so angry that my grandmother almost fainted."

Having said this, Xu Lezhi raised his sleeves and wiped away his empty tears.

Fang Ruyu frowned and immediately said angrily: "Why is the sister of the Xu family such a person? Her grandmother and parents are still alive, how can she, a woman, be so rebellious and propose a separation of the family? And since she has been annulled from the marriage, how can she think about herself? Can you still ask for money from the other party?"

Xu Lezhi nodded frequently, looking helpless and sad, "For some reason, my sixth sister's temperament seems to have changed since she was imprisoned. My father just kindly reminded her to keep a low profile after breaking off the engagement. When doing things, don’t let others take advantage of the reputation of girls from our Xu family. But she not only refuses to listen, she even says ten things to my father, which is really a waste of my father’s love and care--"

"Sister, don't worry." Fang Ruyu only hated that her feet were injured and couldn't get off the ground, otherwise she would have to ask Xu Qingying face to face. Now she could only lie on the bed, but she didn't want to stay out of it. Shame, movement and stillness have laws. She is young and does not understand these principles. Let her come to me tomorrow and I will teach her what women's virtues, women's speech, women's appearance, and women's work are."

"This..." Xu Lezhi looked flattered, "I heard that Sister Fang was well-known for her talent when she was still in the boudoir, and she was an outstanding calligrapher and painter. If Sister Fang can request it, it will be a big deal for Sixth Sister. It's an honor. But will it be too much trouble for Sister Fang?"

"How could it be?" Fang Ruyu was very enthusiastic. She just wished she could meet Xu Zhenying in person now and let her know the truth. "I have nothing to do now. You can bring her to find me tomorrow night. I also have several books of " "Female Precepts" and "Female Training", I believe that after reading these books, she will understand where she went wrong."

Is there another chance to meet the Fang family tomorrow night?

Xu Lezhi was very happy. He didn't see Mr. Fang today, but he might see him tomorrow.

She was confident that as long as Mr. Fang saw her once, he would never forget her.

Now she must create more opportunities to meet Fang's family.

"Then I'll trouble Sister Fang." Xu Lezhi saluted cheerfully and blessed Mrs. Fang, "Mrs. Fang, it's getting late, so Lezhi will leave first."

Mrs. Fang waved her hand, the smile on her lips not diminishing: "Go."

When Xu Lezhi walked away, Mrs. Fang frowned slightly, with a hint of disdain in her eyes.

Seeing her grandmother's unkind expression, Fang Ningmo asked one more question: "Grandma, what's wrong with you? But what's wrong with Sister Xu's sister?"

Mrs. Fang glared at Fang Ruyu. Fang Ruyu didn't know what she had done wrong again, and lowered her head at a loss.

She is getting more and more worried about her grandmother.

She also complained to her mother privately, saying that she always felt that her grandmother didn't like her, but her mother comforted her by saying that her grandmother was just getting older and her temper had become weirder, and asked her to learn to be more considerate of her grandmother.

Mrs. Fang glanced at Fang Ruyu, then she looked at Ning Mo with a good face, and said with a smile: "Ning Mo, tell me, what do you think of the seventh girl of the Xu family?"

Fang Ningmo didn't know what her grandmother liked. She thought about it over and over, carefully guessing her grandmother's face, and then recalled Xu Lezhi's expression and words just now, and said slowly: "My granddaughter thinks...the seventh girl of the Xu family is a little loose in her mouth. "

"Oh, how do you see it?"

With her grandmother's encouragement, Fang Ningmo continued: "It is said that family ugliness should not be publicized. Besides, my grandmother is not close to her, but whatever my grandmother asked, she just said what she said. Of course, my granddaughter does not want to be a villain... But looking at it, my granddaughter thinks that either the seventh girl is too honest, not guarded against others, and is easily tricked. Or she did it on purpose..."

Fang Ruyu immediately defended Xu Lezhi and said: "Sister, how could the seventh girl of the Xu family deliberately expose the shortcomings of her own sisters? Don't use your villain's heart to speculate on others——"

Fang Ningmo felt a little aggrieved, but he also knew that his sister was stubborn and sincere, so he didn't want to argue with her. He just shrugged and said, "What my sister said is true. It's Ningmo who has become a villain."

Mrs. Fang couldn't help but have a headache listening to the little sisters' quarrel.

The only blame was that she thought that her boss had a stubborn temper and was easily broken, so when they got engaged, they specially selected a woman with a gentle personality.She used to think that there was nothing wrong with a docile woman, so she let her eldest daughter-in-law train her granddaughter to be virtuous and chaste. But once she was exiled, she realized the use of a docile woman. Fang Ruyu, even Xu Qi's little thoughts, could not I can’t see through it, and I don’t know how much suffering I will suffer in the future.

Seeing her grandmother silent again and frowning, Fang Ruyu felt a little scared for no reason and whispered: "Grandma, what did my granddaughter say wrong?"

Mrs. Fang sighed and wanted to say something, but then she thought about it. Xu Qingying was bold and knew how to advance and retreat. Maybe if the two of them had more contact, they might be able to change her granddaughter's temperament!

She then touched Fang Ruyu's head and said earnestly: "Ruyu, Ningmo, grandma can't protect you all your life. There are some truths that you have to realize on your own, and there are some detours that you have to take on your own to know what is right and wrong. Everything is right. Read more, think more, and don’t be deceived by others’ words.”

Fang Ruyu couldn't understand her grandmother's heaviness at the moment, but she also knew that her grandmother was doing it for her own good, and she also had an intuition that her grandmother didn't like Miss Xu Qi.

She kept claiming that it was true, but she couldn't help but review what Xu Qi had just said. After thinking about it, she didn't know what Xu Qi said wrongly to make her grandmother unhappy.

Could it be that she was wrong?
But Miss Xu Qi looks so honest and demure, it really doesn’t look like what her grandmother said -

Also unable to sleep was Xu Yinxi.

Dozens of women were crowded into Datong Shop, all of them were so close together that it was difficult to even turn over.The conditions were simple, but no one complained. After a day of exhaustion, everyone fell asleep on the bed——

The autumn wind rustled outside the window, and a full moon was faintly visible.

She lay undressed in the sour and smelly Datong shop, hearing faint shouts in her ears, and for some reason she always found it difficult to fall asleep.

There is some throbbing pain in the sole of the foot, which goes all the way to the thigh and then to the waist. The pain is so painful that I only feel numbness in the back.His body seemed to be torn apart, but his consciousness was very clear, even with a hint of indescribable excitement.

She seemed to have caught a glimpse of a corner of a certain world, and a little light shone through, and she couldn't help but start to daydream about what that world looked like.

She kept thinking about what Xu Qingying said.

What about the yield per acre, what about social unity, what about the monopoly of educational resources, inspirations kept appearing, and something new took root and sprouted in her mind——

She couldn't tell what it was, she could only feel her body shaking and excited.

She remembered her crazy words: she could do better than her father.

If...if...she could really do it, even if she risked her life, she would still have to prove that she was not inferior to any man.

She must make her mother, who has no son, be proud of her. She must make her mother no longer look down upon others just because she cannot give birth to a son. She must make her mother stand tall and proud when she returns to her parents' home.

If such a thing really happened, she would really be willing to die.

But after the excitement, Xu Yinxi felt extremely heavy when thinking about the real situation.

She is a little self-deprecating. Even if she has ambitions, so what?It's all just a fantasy.

They don't even know what they will eat tomorrow. Whether they can reach Qianzhou alive is the biggest problem at the moment.

Talking about women taking the imperial examination, talking about women becoming officials, the sixth sister is really deceiving people with her lies and deceiving people——
