Chapter 84 Shameless Woman
Gu Tinglan's eyes lit up when she heard her words.
She nodded heavily, and finally a smile appeared on her face as she said, "I knew that my sister was different from others.
A woman like you deserves the best man in the world."
She rolled her eyes and felt that her brother was the best man in the world.
If Song Shiwei hadn't married, she would definitely make her her sister-in-law.
"I don't think so. Do women have to get married and rely on men to live?
Can't women make a name for themselves? Anyway, I really admire your Master Tao."
Song Shiwei had heard of Tao Wenyuan's deeds a long time ago.
After she cleared her father's name, she never married and established herself alone in Chengwen Academy, teaching and passing on knowledge.
Only those who do what they want regardless of worldly criticism are the ones who truly hold their own destiny in their hands.
"what?"
Gu Tinglan looked shocked, she frowned, looked around and whispered to Song Shiwei: "The students in the academy all think that Master Tao is a weirdo.
She is usually very strict with us, we are all very afraid of her, and..."
She wanted to say something else, but she had already arrived at Tao Wenyuan's residence.
She quickly stopped talking and said, "The master lives here. Sister Song, please go in. I'll wait for you here."
"it is good."
Song Shiwei nodded, then took Jingque into the yard.
The yard is not big, but it is quite quiet. Irises are planted on both sides of the bluestone road, and there are three houses in the east, west and north.
The window of the room to the west was open, and through it one could see a woman sitting at the table, reading a book.
She walked over and spoke slowly, "Song Shiwei from the Cheng'en Marquis's Mansion wants to see Master Tao."
Tao Wenyuan didn't even raise her head, but calmly flipped through the book in her hand and asked, "You are the Miss Song who became famous with a song at the banquet in the Marquis' Mansion."
"Exactly."
Song Shiwei was not humble with her either.
Tao Wenyuan put down the book in his hand, glanced at her and said, "Come in."
Song Shiwei entered the study room. She bowed and said politely, "I apologize for disturbing you, Master Tao."
Tao Wenyuan looked at her.
She had heard of Song Shiwei's name a long time ago. Before her song became famous all over the world, the complicated affairs between her and the Shen family had long been discussed as gossip by students in the college.
She asked, "I wonder why Miss Song came to see me?"
Song Shiwei said bluntly: "I want to sign up for the women's examination of the academy this year."
Tao Wenyuan was not surprised to hear this. She was just curious, so she asked, "Can I ask why you want to participate in the women's examination?"
The women in the academy took part in the imperial examination simply to become famous.
Either to bring honor to the family or to find a good husband.
However, Song Shiwei was different. She had become famous with her song at the banquet in the Marquis' Mansion and brought honor to the Cheng'en Marquis' Mansion, and she was already married.
That's why she was curious about why she came to take part in the women's examination.
Song Shiwei did not hide it and directly stated her purpose: "I want to ask for an imperial decree to divorce my husband!"
Tao Wenyuan was stunned, and looked at Song Shiwei with a little more admiration in his eyes.
She laughed and said, "I thought you would endure it like those ordinary women, but I didn't expect you to have such ambition.
only……"
She changed the subject and continued, “You know that there has never been a precedent of a woman divorcing her husband throughout history.
Even if you win the exam, His Majesty will not allow you to do so.
Because you are challenging a man's dignity and face.
Once you set this precedent, others will follow suit, and their status as men will be threatened.
You must know that your majesty is an emperor and also a man."
"I know."
Song Shiwei raised her head, not afraid at all: "How can you know it's not possible if you don't try?"
"you……"
Tao Wenyuan looked at her, as if he saw his former self.
With their courage and alone, even if no one cheers for them, they will definitely pave a way out with their own blood.
She smiled and replied, "Okay, then I wish you good luck."
"Thank you."
Song Shiwei nodded slightly and thanked him.
Tao Wenyuan extended his hand and said, "Come over and have a cup of tea."
Song Shiwei walked over and sat down opposite her.
Tao Wenyuan is already twenty-three years old this year. Six years ago, she came to the capital alone to clear her father's name and became famous all over the world, but she has never married.
I wonder what the reason is?
Song Shiwei took a sip of the tea that Tao Wenyuan had brewed, and suddenly she heard a woman's noisy voice coming from outside: "Wang Wenxuan, come out, I know you are here."
Song Shiwei leaned out of the window and saw a woman and her group rushing in.
The woman gave an order: "Search for me."
The servants scattered and began to search the yard.
Song Shiwei frowned and asked, "Who is this woman and why is she so rude?"
Tao Wenyuan seemed to be used to it. She took two sips of tea and said in a calm voice, "The wife of Wang Wenxuan, a waiter in the Hanlin Academy, whose father is the chief priest of the Imperial Academy."
As they were talking, Mrs. Wang came in. Seeing that Tao Wenyuan was meeting a guest, she asked without hesitation, "Where is Wang Wenxuan?"
Tao Wenyuan sneered, she put the teacup in her hand on the table and said: "Madam Wang, what you said is really funny. Your husband is missing, why are you asking me?"
Madam Wang pointed at her and said, "The servants saw it clearly. He entered Chengwen Academy. Where else could he be if not to come to you?
You are a shameless woman who seduced my husband. You yourself behaved improperly, so how can you be qualified to teach here?"
Tao Wenyuan glanced at him coldly and said, "Which eye of yours saw me seducing your husband?
The academy is so big, why did Madam Wang choose to search here?"
"You are still quibbling. You must be unwilling to let Wen Xuan marry me, so you tried every way to seduce him, you shameless woman."
Mrs. Wang started yelling and making a scene like a shrew, while many students were watching outside.
Song Shiwei stood up and said, "Madam, I think you have misunderstood.
I have been with Master Tao the whole time, and I haven't seen any men."
Mrs. Wang looked at her in a bad voice and asked, "Who are you?"
Song Shiwei gave her name and said, "Cheng En Bo Mansion, Song Shiwei."
Madam Wang raised her eyebrows and sneered, "Who was it I thought? It turned out to be Madam Shen.
I heard that your husband and your sister are having an affair. You came to see Tao Wenyuan to ask her how to seduce a man, didn't you? "
Song Shiwei narrowed her eyes, her gaze suddenly turned cold: "Madam, please be careful with your words.
You barged in here without any reason, falsely accused Master Tao and spoke rudely to me.
If you don't apologize to us, I will have no choice but to report it to the police."
Mrs. Wang said with an attitude of a dead pig that is not afraid of boiling water: "Then go ahead and report it, do you really think I am afraid of you?
Today I will make it known to everyone, so that everyone can see how shamelessly Tao Wenyuan seduces my man. "
Seeing that she was unmoved and extremely arrogant, Song Shiwei sternly said, "Jingque, go to the Dali Temple to report to the police!"
