Princess Xiangrui in Huanzhu

He Xi has never been nosy and is rather cold-hearted. She always feels that she should respect other people's choices and not interfere in other people's lives.

Whether it is pain or joy, good or bad, we will bear it all.

But when he saw Ji Xin, He Xi suddenly didn't want to remain silent anymore.

She knows that the awakening of women's consciousness is a long way to go, and it may take ten, twenty or even a hundred years to complete, but every step taken is precious.

Ji Xin is a microcosm of the suffering of this era, and her experience is not even the worst.

He Xi always felt that she was lucky, but she also hoped to help the girl.

She is still so young, she can still have a colorful life instead of having her wings clipped by feudal ethics.

"As the saying goes, don't do to others what you don't want others to do to you. This is not Ji Xin's fault, and she shouldn't bear the consequences."

"As Ji Xin's father, you colluded with others to harm your own daughter. It seems that you are nothing but a hypocrite."

He Xi did not hesitate to expose Ji's father's hypocritical fig leaf.

Ji's father seemed a little angry at He Xi's accusations.

"This is a matter between our Ji family and the Xia family. Outsiders are not allowed to interfere."

If I'm familiar with it, I'm just like Xia's father. I can't argue with him, so I have to avoid the main point.

"Oh, we've seen enough jokes, is this still necessary?" Ji Yao attacked indiscriminately.

He finally realized that Ji's father and mother were not the heroes who saved Ji Xin, but the murderers who added fuel to the fire.

It is sad and ridiculous that a reputation can be worth the lifelong happiness of one's own daughter.

However, in their view, this is natural.

Ji Yao's theory is heretical.

Seeing that he couldn't win the argument, Ji's father winked at Ji's mother.

There was a trace of struggle in Ji's mother's eyes. She hesitated for a moment when she saw Ji Xin's desperate expression.

He avoided Ji's father's gaze, as if he didn't see it.

This is all the cowardly mother Ji can do.

Ji's father was furious. It was bad enough that Ji Yao, who had been disobedient since childhood, disobeyed him, but Ji's mother actually dared to do this!

As expected, the daughter of a merchant is not presentable. It is better to...

"Yao Lin, I have finally opened my eyes today. There are such shameless and hypocritical people in this world."

Fu Kang'an was quite famous, so in order to avoid unnecessary trouble, He Xi called him Yaolin.

"He is aloof but has no ability. He only does superficial work. In fact, he is a person with no talent, no skills, and no ability."

Father Ji didn't understand what "three no's" meant, but he knew it was not a good thing.

He hadn't heard any open or indirect ridicule from others for many years, and only suffered a lot of injustice when he was young and penniless.

But now everyone has to call him "Master Ji".

Those dark years came back to mind amid Hexi's ridicule.

He Xi did not hesitate to assume the worst of Ji's father. In her opinion, Ji's father's actions showed that he was not as upright as he seemed.

Anyone with a little bit of kindness in his heart would feel sorry for it, but Ji's father's eyes were full of indifference.

People around them also looked at them strangely, which made Father Ji and Father Xia very uncomfortable.

It’s all because of Qianlong and his entourage who showed up unexpectedly, otherwise the matter would have been settled long ago.

Ji Yao looked at Hexi and Fukang'an with gratitude for their righteous words, saying that it is easy to add icing on the cake, but difficult to provide timely assistance.

The friendship that was originally based on interests is now filled with sincerity.

Qianlong and others remained silent, as they also felt that Ji's father had gone too far.

It was selfish of Xia's father and mother to force Ji Xin, but it was disappointing if they added fuel to the fire.

The parents whom you trust the most hurt you, but a stranger who has never met you before speaks up for you.

Ji Yao and Ji Xin felt mixed emotions.

Xia's mother started crying, making a fuss, and then trying to hang herself.

"Bin'er! Just after you passed away, someone is bullying your poor and helpless parents! Open your eyes and take a look!"

Mother Xia collapsed to the ground, rolling around in a tantrum, without any trace of her usual ladylike demeanor. She looked like a shrew throwing a tantrum at the village entrance.

Ji Xin is a soft-hearted person, and as weak as her mother. She is helpless in the face of Xia's mother's tantrum.

Most of the onlookers were fence-sitters, and when they saw Xia's mother crying so bitterly, they began to change sides.

"It's not easy for the Xia family. Ji Yao is really a bit aggressive."

"That's right. The marriage between Ji Xin and Xia Bin was known to the whole city. Now that Xia Bin has passed away, she should have remained a widow."

"The Ji family has a strict family tradition, but how could they have these two rebellious children? What a pity."

Ji Yao was so angry that his veins popped out. These people only knew how to make sarcastic remarks and didn't care whether his words would hurt others.

I just want to satisfy my curiosity and gossip.

"If you think this is okay, then I wish your daughters to be widows and your sons to be widowers."

"Why are you speaking so harshly, girl?" the onlookers said dissatisfiedly.

"When you talk about others, you don't care about it, but when it involves yourself, you get unhappy?" He Xi made the onlookers embarrassed and they all found excuses to disperse.

"You have a sharp tongue, girl."

"We won't argue. I have something else to do at home, so I'll leave first."

"I'm leaving now. I won't watch it anymore. It's meaningless."

"You're so sharp-tongued that you might not be able to get married in the future." The pedantic scholar said sarcastically.

Upon hearing this, Fukang'an reached out and hugged Hexi.

"My lady, I am very pleased with you."

He Xi gave Fu Kang'an a coquettish look and spoke in a smooth manner.

However, He Xi felt happy when he saw those people's distorted faces who were angry but dared not speak out.

After all, although Fukangan looks handsome, his physique is no joke. Standing there, he looks like a door god.

The thin scholar didn't dare to conflict with him, so he had to leave in disappointment.

The people around gradually dispersed, and seeing that there were few people around, Xia's mother stood up on her own initiative.

If no one watches the show, it's a waste of effort.

Since threats and inducements failed and throwing a tantrum was also useless, Xia's mother had no choice but to break off relations with him.

"You little whore, if you dare to remarry, I will go to your husband's house and make trouble to see if you still have any dignity left."

Mother Xia was determined to do it. Her son, who died young, would be so sad if he knew that his wife, who was not yet married, had married someone else.

Absolutely not!

"Madam, don't worry, I won't remarry, but I don't want to become a nun..." Ji Xin said earnestly.

"That won't do. If you don't become a nun, who will pray for my son?" Xia's mother was used to pushing for more, and when she saw Ji Xin giving in, she became unhappy again.

"Xinxin, don't pay any attention to her! Don't worry, you can marry whoever you want! If you don't want to get married, I will support you!" Ji Yao vowed.

"Nonsense!" Ji's father couldn't sit still anymore. What a joke it was to raise Ji Xin.

Father Ji clasped his fists towards Father Xia and said apologetically, "I'm so sorry. I didn't teach my son well. I'm sorry for not doing it well."

Father Xia had a dark face and forced a smile: "It's okay, but he should be disciplined properly."
