The gentle Madam He finished speaking in one breath. She patted her chest and felt that she could finally vent some of the anger in her heart.
Li Yu felt extremely disgusted when she heard Madam He’s words, but she didn’t have any experience in fighting with another woman. “It’s indeed quite disgusting. I think it’s right to listen to Sister Gao.”
Madam Gao sighed and said, “Madam, you, Sister He, and I are used to seeing this. Men are different from women and tend to have three wives and four concubines. The upbringing we listened to since we were young was to teach us to learn from the virtuous women in the women’s books. It was only when we went out that my sister secretly taught me that the virtuous women in the books were all written by those wretched men to deceive women. The marriage of wives and concubines was always wishful thinking of men. She asked me to stay true to my heart and not listen to the sweet words of men. Sister’s words overturned everything I had learned in the past. Later, I was pregnant with my eldest son and vomited but still had to thread the face of the dowry girl. I was so angry at that time!” Madam Gao still felt a little suffocated in her chest when she thought of the past. She took a deep breath and said, “I even wanted to kill someone with a knife. Later, my nanny pulled me and said, Miss, even those countryside men who had earned some money have to go to brothels. Besides, you’re the wife of an official. You have to look at your identity and treat those concubines as Tom, Dick, and Harry. You should be cunning about it.”
Li Yu could hear the sadness and helplessness in Madam Gao’s words. She recalled that when those men in the modern world earned money, they still wanted to live a colorful life outside and have a stable family at home. In this world where mistresses were legalized, there was no need to mention it. Madam Gao’s nanny said that even country bumpkins had to go to brothels to shop if they earned a couple more coins. Thinking about these powerful men, who didn’t want to live a life with women to tend to them?
“Sister He, this world has too much malice towards women, to begin with. Even if it’s for the sake of the children, we have to cherish ourselves more.”
When Madam He heard this, she lowered her head and sat in a daze for a while. She looked up at the two of them and revealed a smile that was uglier than crying. She wiped the tears off her face and stood up to bow to Li Yu and Madam Gao. “Thank you for your comfort, Madam. Thank you for Sister Gao’s guidance.”
Madam Gao was a sensible person. She looked at Madam He and smiled in relief. “We rely on our own hard work to survive. Women our age shouldn’t go back to the vows of the past. It’s only good if our children are well.”
Madam He fell into deep thought when she heard Madam Gao’s words. Li Yu felt that Madam Gao was the one who was transparent. Only by not pinning her hopes on men could she live happily.
The three of them sat there and looked at the distant green mountain. Li Yu pulled the two of them up and smiled. “Sisters, come and shout at the green mountain. ”
The two of them looked at Li Yu with sparkling eyes and nodded heavily. Li Yu shouted at the mountain, “Ah… go to hell! ”
Madam He of the Gao family looked at Li Yu curiously. She looked at the mountain and opened her mouth, but she couldn’t make a sound. Looking at Li Yu’s encouraging gaze, the two of them grabbed Li Yu’s hand to embolden themselves. They took a deep breath and tried to shout. After shouting for the first time, it was much easier. “Ah… go to hell!” The two of them shouted at the mountain.
“Ah… to hell with it!” It took all their strength to release the painful repression in their hearts. They didn’t stop until they were hoarse.
Madam Gao wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes and patted her chest.
She smiled at the two of them and said, “I have never been so relaxed.”
Madam He also smiled. “I feel that my heart has lightened.”
Li Yu picked up a piece of fruit and handed it to the two of them. She smiled and said, “Come, sweeten your mouths and moisten your throats.”
“It’s sweet.” The two of them took it and took a bite. They smiled at Li Yu.
It was not until it was getting late that Madam Gao and Madam He smiled and bade farewell to Li Yu. Madam He smiled and said, “Madam, it’s really not bad to play on the manor. We’ll play again after your manor is fixed.”
Li Yu smiled readily and said, “Alright! It’ll be fixed in a few days. You’re welcome to come and play anytime.”
The two of them smiled and said, “That’s good. We’ll come every day and play until you’re annoyed.”
“Okay! I promise I won’t be annoyed. I’m just afraid you’ll be annoyed.”
Li Yu stood at the door and watched the two of them get into the carriage which drove away slowly. She sighed and slowly walked back.
The two of them returned to the city and arrived at the entrance of the Wu family’s house first. Madam Gao instructed Madam He, “Sister He, most men in the world are heartless. Only the children are our final support.”
Madam He bowed gratefully to Madam Gao. “Thank you, Sister Gao.”
After Madam He bade farewell to Madam Gao, she returned to the Tongju Residence, which was separated by an alley.
When the maidservant, Qiu Ju, saw Madam He return, she went up to her and reported softly, “Madam, you’re back! Master is looking for you!”
Hearing Chunjuan’s delicate laughter in the house, Madam He’s heart felt as if it had been pulled by a blunt knife. She endured the pain in her heart and said coldly, “Why is Master looking for me? Don’t you know to tell him that I went to West City to visit the magistrate’s wife?”
Qiu Ju stammered, “Before I could say anything, Miss Chunjuan said that she made Master’s favorite spring pancake and called him away.”
Madam He muttered to herself, “Even without Chunjuan, there will still be Qiujuan and Dongjuan. Since you’re in a hurry to be a concubine, I’ll fulfill your wish. I don’t think you, Lin Zicong, dare to dote on a concubine at the expense of your wife.”
Madam He brought Qiu Ju back to the main courtyard unhurriedly. She stood at the door and looked at Lin Zicong’s smug expression and the charming Miss Chunjuan standing beside him.
Madam He snorted and walked in. Lin Zicong smiled awkwardly and said,
“Madam, come and try Miss Chunjuan’s spring pancakes.”
Miss Chunjuan also went forward and bowed. “Sister, you’re back!”
Madam He glanced at Chunjuan and walked over to sit down. “I don’t have a sister like you.”
“Madam, why do you have to…” Lin Zicong was a little angry. He looked at the cold Madam He and felt a little guilty.
Chunjuan looked at Madam He with teary eyes and said, “Madam, it’s all
Chunjuan’s fault. Please don’t be angry with Lord.”
Madam He looked at the cold Lin Zicong and the flirtatious Chunjuan and said, “Miss Chunjuan, are you really willing to serve me and Master without regard for status?”
Chunjuan knelt shyly in front of Madam He. “Madam, ever since Sir saved
Chunjuan, Chunjuan has been Sir’s woman.”
Madam He’s heart ached. She couldn’t help but choke and cough. She took a
deep breath and suppressed the anger in her heart. She looked at Chunjuan and said indifferently, “Miss Chunjuan, you have to understand that the Lin family is not a shady family. Master wants to have a bright future. His every move and action is monitored. If you want to serve Master, I don’t dare to accept you without a contract.. Think about it!”
