Chapter 35: Chapter 35 - 29: Why Does This Plot Always Catch Me Off Guard?

Yun Zheng looked at Lady Yun and repeated Su Qianxue’s words.

"She said she doesn’t necessarily need our Yun Family, nor does she necessarily need to get married. Since ancient times, women have taken their husbands as their heaven. Madam, do you think any woman could really say such a thing?"

Yun Zheng chuckled softly, not quite sure what he was laughing about.

Lady Yun was slightly startled, then said softly, "It seems this Su Family’s daughter is indeed very different, quite courageous and bold."

The world is ultimately harsh towards women, seeming like marriage is their only path.

Women who do not marry are drowned in the saliva of the public.

If a girl from an ordinary family does not marry by fifteen, the whole family must pay five times the heavy tax. If she’s not married by seventeen, her father and brothers will be punished.

In aristocratic families, the punishment of the male family members does not apply, but paying exorbitant taxes is unavoidable.

Also, if there are male heirs in the family, women do not have inheritance rights. After the parents pass away, they might be driven out by their brothers and sisters-in-law and would not be allowed to be buried with their ancestors, becoming wandering souls.

In short, to boost the population, the Court has implemented many ironclad laws compelling women to marry.

In this world, almost no woman would think of not getting married.

[Of course, it’s different, the heroine is set to be from the twenty-first century.]

[In our era, women can hold up half the sky, completely independent and not relying on men, plenty of single aristocrats.]

[It was already common for women not to marry; it’s normal for the heroine to have this idea influenced by that era.]

[And she’s the heroine, the author crafted her so brilliantly, full of charisma, buffed, and even a top ancient-style craft live streamer.]

[The heroine knows Tang poems and Song lyrics, military strategies and tactics, crafting unique troops and items, with all professional skills maxed out, she’ll dazzle everyone in the future.]

[Although the plot was derailed this time, and she missed the male protagonist, according to the heroine’s character, she will eventually attract the male protagonist and many admirers in future interactions.]

[Luckily, the marriage agreement with the big brother has been successfully canceled, that’s a good start.]

[As for the future, take it one step at a time, hopefully, we can manage until I can speak, then I will surely be the spoiler tool for mom and dad.]

Although they do not understand what halo, buff, live streamer, Tang poems and Song lyrics mean, the couple vaguely understood her words and both smiled knowingly.

The little bundle of joy doesn’t know it yet, but she doesn’t have to wait until she can speak; she’s already their ’spoiler tool’ now.

Soon after, the couple couldn’t help but think of the twenty-first century she mentioned.

Could there truly be such a magical and unique era in this world?

Women can also be independent, strong, without relying on men, able not to marry, and can support half the sky; what an enviable era that must be.

Quickly, Yun Zheng thought of something more important.

Xiao Si said that Su Qianxue knows Tang poems and Song lyrics, military strategies, crafting unique troops and items, all professional skills maxed out and will have many admirers.

Forget not understanding what Tang poems and Song lyrics, and admirers mean for now, but military strategies, unique item crafting, and all skills maxed seem a bit tricky.

What are unique troops and items?

Weapons?

More than half a month passed in a flash.

The news of the broken engagement between the Yun and Su Family had spread to every corner of Haojing, even rumored to be known by passing rats; the gossip about Su Qianxue losing her purity was solidified among the masses, beyond redemption.

"Even Duke Ning went to cancel the engagement, could this be false?"

"Exactly, who is Duke Ning? Could he not find out whether Su Qianxue lost her purity or not? If that Su Qianxue was truly flawless, would Duke Ning personally go to cancel the engagement?"

"Yes, that’s right, just like I said, that Su Qianxue looks quite attractive, how could any man remain unmoved?"

"Since she lost her purity and was rejected by the Duke Ning Mansion, who would dare to marry her in the future? The Su Family might as well raise a spinster, likely becoming Da Wu’s first notable lady who cannot marry."

"..."

These days, the Su Family was bearing unprecedented rumors and gossip every day,

Even when Su Jian attended court, he suffered humiliation and ridicule from opposing factions, thoroughly losing face, several times nearly wanting to crash into a pillar in anger.

Although he had expected all this on the day Yun Zheng broke the engagement, he did not expect it to be so excruciatingly unbearable when it truly happened.

He gritted his teeth in anger and marked Yun Zheng resentfully in his heart.

But Yun Zheng was in a rather good mood.

Because he received letters from the Seventh and Chen’er; they were coming back~
