Chapter 111 - Mr Song’s Surprise
“Then what do you make of Madam Xi’s second wedding?” Wu Zhao needled.
“As for this, we will have to take what I said earlier into account. The Warring States period was a time where morality had fallen into ruin. The fetters on the mind weren’t as strong back then. War time was when the strong consume the weak. Women were nothing but a speck of dust. As for my take on Madam Xi’s second wedding, it’s like this: It’s better to cling on to life than dying honorably.”
“Pfft!” Lu Jing couldn’t help but chuckle, “Clinging to life is better than dying honorably?”
Even Wu Zhao’s stern demeanor almost fell apart.
“Yep,” Yun Xiangxiang said innocently. “With Madam Xi’s personality, the most she could show for the incompetent marquis of Xi was only a wife’s respect toward her husband. There was no romance there. Her job was done when the nation of Xi was destroyed and she saved her own life.”
“The nation of Xi was destroyed because of her,” Cao Chi blurted.
“Is the Xi Nation’s destruction really because of her?” Yun Xiangxiang replied with a question.
“Is it not?” Lu Jing chimed.
It was a great location. The unit that He Wei bought for her was done in the early stages. There were already no houses for sale here. She was probably the poorest one among those who could purchase the houses here.
Even so, even if someone did need money and tried to sell their house, it was too big of a coincidence for it to be someone living just one floor above her.
“Market price,” Song Mian filled a bowl for himself too. He sat beside Yun Xiangxiang. Song Mian only continued when he met Yun Xiangxiang’s interrogative gaze, “He fell sick, and I had someone cure him.”
