Chapter 142: Submerged
Shen Wei was prepared that Xie Yuchuan would come to accuse her for no reason, because no matter what she did, as long as it was not in line with Xie Yuchuan's wishes, he would stop her.
Hearing Xie Yuchuan's last words, Shen Wei raised his eyebrows and a sarcastic smile appeared on his lips.
Her eyes were as clear as water, as if they could shine into people's hearts: "Really? Just like before, I was trapped in this mansion, hoping day and night that you could come and accompany me?"
"But Xie Yuchuan, you forgot that you didn't come to accompany me, and you even disliked me for becoming like the wives and concubines in the mansion, only knowing how to be jealous and compete for favors."
"At that time, you also said that I had changed."
"But you clearly know that I am not that kind of person. I am pursuing love, but I also have my own thoughts and ideas. I have my own ambitions. You knew it when you first met me."
"You forgot what you said. You said I was an independent and passionate woman. When you coaxed me to go back to the capital with you, you said with your own mouth that we would be together for the rest of our lives. I can be myself, and you will support me no matter what I do."
"Now you're saying that women stay at home and men stay outside? You're forcing me to revolve around you alone."
"Xie Yuchuan, you are the fickle one, not me."
Xie Yuchuan didn't know whether he was irritated by what Shen Wei said or because he couldn't argue with Shen Wei.
Facing Shen Wei's sneer, there was no trace of guilt on his face.
Instead, he accused Shen Wei with all confidence.
"The capital is different from the frontier. I understand that you need to survive in the frontier, but this is the capital, and you must accept the rules of the capital."
The sneer in Shen Wei's eyes grew deeper and deeper.
Accept the rules here?
and then?
Being assimilated, deprived of freedom, never being able to be yourself, having to be a slave for the rest of your life, living under the guise of your husband?
Shen Wei suddenly thought of the ending of the modern version of Startling by Each Step. Her eyes became dazed for a moment, but she never wavered in her thoughts.
She looked at Xie Yuchuan with a half-smile and said, "Xie Yuchuan, since you like to follow the rules so much, you should go find another concubine in the mansion."
"They will always put you first and obey all your ideas, but I won't."
"Don't bother me if you have nothing to do. Please."
Xie Yuchuan looked at Shen Wei, his heart burning with anger: "I finally understand, it's all my fault for being too indulgent towards you, I shouldn't have been so soft-hearted towards you!"
"I've brought you back to the capital for so long, why can't you understand me a little? There is no other noble lady in the capital who doesn't know the rules like you!"
"Instead of letting you go out and show your face to the public and open a women's martial arts school to bring shame to the Marquisate, I think it would be better to lock you up in the courtyard and learn the rules."
"When you have learned the three virtues and know you are wrong, I will let you go."
Xie Yuchuan knew Shen Wei too well and knew that Shen Wei liked freedom.
But he wanted to imprison Shen Wei's freedom and force Shen Wei to change all his previous words, deeds and thoughts.
It was obvious that what Xie Yuchuan liked at the beginning was her uniqueness.
But now, he felt that she was out of place in the capital, and he wanted her to learn to be like the people here, or at least not disobey his orders like this.
When Shen Wei heard this, he felt grief and indignation.
What made her feel aggrieved was not Xie Yuchuan's attitude towards her, but what made her sad was that women in this era had no human rights. They had to obey their fathers at home and their husbands after marriage, and they could never make their own choices.
Do not!
She had been here for so long, and had been indoctrinated with old ideas by the people around her, that she almost forgot one thing.
She immediately realized that she had no status as a marquis and was not included in the official record, so she was completely free.
Shen Wei smiled at Xie Yuchuan, with a carefree and sarcastic smile: "You want to imprison me in the Marquis' Mansion? Xie Yuchuan, you may have forgotten one thing!"
