Chapter 169 Thoughts
This statement is too outrageous and too shocking.
But if you listen carefully, these words make you think deeply.
It was not until several breaths later that everyone looked at each other.
"Miss Shen, your words are too... self-righteous."
"Noble lady, no one can be completely themselves. You are not us and do not understand our difficulties. We are born with wealth and enjoyment that ordinary people can never get in this life."
"So we are not like you. We cannot abandon our family just for our own happiness."
"Whether it's marriage or sacrifice, it has to be this way. Generation after generation has contributed to the family to ensure the family's prosperity for generations. When we are born, we share the family's honor and disgrace, life and death. How can we be so selfish?"
"How can you just do it for yourself when you get a chance?"
A woman who looked a little older explained their difficulties and sorrows to Shen Wei in a somewhat stern tone.
Don’t they want to marry into a good family and marry their loved one?
But can it?
No.
They have been tools for marriage since birth.
Just like Qin Shuyu, she didn't even have the courage to divorce. No, it can't be said to be courage, it's better to say that she had no choice.
After the divorce, returning to the Qin family, what next?
Then can I stay in the mansion and live my life in peace and stability?
No, the Qin family would immediately arrange a marriage for her, because the Qin family is not just her father's family, but also has many side branches.
As long as she is alive, she is a disguised tool for the family to gain profits. Maybe her parents and family love her, but that love is not worth mentioning compared to the family's honor and disgrace.
The other ladies' eyes might have contained helplessness, disapproval, or a calm acceptance of reality; each person's expression was different, but none of them stood up to deny this statement.
Shen Wei looked up at the sky, his eyes filled with sadness and pity: "If the prosperity of the family requires my daughter to sacrifice her future and happiness, then why not give you equal rights."
"Why do you have to sacrifice yourself, while your elder brother and younger brother can enjoy the fruits of their labor by having three wives and four concubines?"
"That's all."
“There are always people who want to tear open the sky and see what the distance looks like.”
Seeing that the topic was getting off track, Miss Lu was shocked and came out to change the subject: "Okay, the weather is so good today, let's not just stand there and chat."
"Miss Shen."
"You are finally free today, so I can't let you go easily."
"I've heard you mention before that there are some creatures on the distant seashore, such as dolphins, crocodiles, octopuses, and sea lions. You must tell us about them today."
"......"
Everyone became interested as they listened to these creatures they had never heard of before. They intentionally avoided the unpleasantness that had just occurred and asked Shen Wei to tell them about those sea creatures.
After the ladies left the banquet.
Some of them changed their tone towards Shen Wei and began to agree with him.
As for what was said at the banquet and the play on the stage, the noble ladies knew their limits and did not mention it to their families. They just kept saying that Shen Wei and the Marquis' Mansion separated because they were tired of each other after a long time.
As for the rest, no word was mentioned.
a few days later.
In the restaurant, Xie Yuchuan was drinking with a few friends.
As Shen Wei's close friends, they were naturally the first to know about it.
