Chapter 174 Do You Think I Want to Get Married?
Deng Xiliang heard it and said, "I'll go to the front and take a look."
Xiu Luoran stopped him: "You should stay and protect the Third Master. I'll go."
After Xiu Luoran finished speaking, he rode his horse forward.
Soon, she came back:
"A wealthy family in Yuanqi County was getting married, and the bridal sedan was brought here. But when they heard that the groom's family already had two concubines, who had given birth to two children, the bride did not want to marry anymore, and asked for the sedan to be taken back.
The groom stopped the sedan chair from going back, and the bride said that either she could go home or she would die in front of the sedan chair.
The bride and groom's families quarreled fiercely, and the wedding procession and the wedding escort procession started fighting, blocking the road.
Deng Xiliang heard this and said disdainfully:
"What's there to fight about? The bridal sedan has already been brought here, why should we carry it back?
Could it be that the bride wants to marry again after returning?"
Xiu Luoran glared at him:
"Why can't you marry again?"
Deng Xiliang: "A woman should not marry two husbands."
"Why would you marry her if you knew she wasn't a good match?"
Deng Xiliang disagreed:
"It's normal for a man to have three wives and four concubines. I don't even need to look at this bride to know that she must be a jealous woman."
Xiu Luoran said unhappily:
"The man didn't say he had concubines or children at home, shouldn't the woman make a scene?"
Deng Xiliang snorted:
"You're making a fuss just to get benefits."
Xiu Luoran argued: "You know it again, maybe the bride really doesn't want to get married.
He hasn't even married a wife yet, but he already has two children. How are they going to live in the future?
Lord Deng, you are so protective of the man, do you have concubines, mistresses, maids, illegitimate children, and illegitimate children at home?"
Deng Xiliang was very annoyed when he heard Xiu Luoran say this.
Because what Xiu Luoran said was right, he really had a concubine in his family, and he also had a mistress who had three children.
His face looked very unhappy, and he said:
"As a woman, you should take care of your husband and children, and stay out of men's business.
The Fourth Prince has already married two concubines, didn't you accept them, Miss Xiu?"
When Yi Jingpin heard this, he shouted:
"you shut up!"
Xiu Luoran sneered: "Master Deng is waiting for me here."
Xiu Luoran clasped his fists towards the direction of the imperial palace:
"My marriage was arranged by the Emperor, and I have no right to say 'no'.
If I were to choose for myself, I would rather not have a philandering man like the groom in front of me!"
Deng Xiliang felt that Xiu Luoran was talking about him, and he became even angrier:
"If you have the ability, don't marry a man, then I will respect you."
Yi Jingpin was angry: "Get back here!"
It was impossible to go back, Deng Xiliang closed his mouth in grievance.
"If the Emperor hadn't granted me the marriage, do you think I would want to get married?
If I don't want to be a free and easy daughter, why should I marry someone and make myself uncomfortable?"
Deng Xiliang really wanted to say a few more words to Xiu Luoran, but he was afraid that he would be chased back by Yi Jingpin, so he didn't dare to open his mouth.
Yi Jingpin also felt that Xiu Luoran's words were not pleasant to the ear:
"Miss Xiu, my father has arranged a marriage for you, which makes things very difficult for you."
Xiu Luoran nodded heavily: "That's right."
"Then tell me why you feel uncomfortable when you get married?"
"Then listen carefully, Third Prince:
Although I am not a daughter of a rich family at home, I am still a treasure in the hands of my father and brothers.
If I get married, I will become a broken flower and worthless.
At home I can do whatever I want, I have complete control over everything and I am free.
After getting married, I am subject to a lot of rules. If I make the slightest mistake, I will be considered unfaithful to my husband.
At home I just take care of myself and do whatever I want.
After getting married, I have to serve my parents-in-law, raise my children, and serve my husband in between.
If you don’t do it well, it means you are unfilial, unfaithful, and unbearable.
I also have to manage the affairs of the inner household, manage the men's other women and children, compete with them for favor, and prevent them from harming me and my children.
If I don't manage it well, it means I'm weak and incompetent; if I manage it too tightly, it means I'm jealous and vicious.
Why should I not enjoy my blessings and seek punishment? I am not a slut who likes to be tortured! "
