Chapter 15 Making Money
The sky was azure, with tufts of white clouds, light as cotton.
Su Jin and Xie Jingchen walked side by side in front, with Xingxing trailing a few steps behind, her delicate face filled with confusion and bewilderment.
She pondered for a long time but couldn’t understand why the Young Madam asked if a candle was needed when cracking a whip. She was certain the Marquis never said such a thing because it was entirely unnecessary.
In broad daylight, obviously no candle was needed; at night, even if not whipping the son-in-law, one would still need a candle, right?
Su Jin touched her cheek, suppressing a twitch of her mouth. She always thought Marquis Dongxiang had an unusual way of thinking, but her mother, Mrs. Tang, was no less quirky.
Just now, after finishing the topic of whip training, she casually asked Xingxing, "Did my father have any other messages for you to relay?"
Xingxing shook her head like a rattle drum, "The Marquis didn’t say anything else, but Madam mentioned that your whip precision is lacking and suggested practicing more when free."
At that moment, she was stunned, "Didn’t you say my mother forbade me from practicing martial arts?"
Xingxing nodded, "Yes, Madam has always forbidden you from practicing martial arts, which is why you didn’t become a top-notch expert, and there’s been no shortage of complaints behind her back for holding you back. That’s what I told Madam, and she said she previously didn’t allow you to practice because she felt it was inappropriate for a girl, fearing you wouldn’t get married. Now that you’re married, it’s a different matter altogether."
Different matter altogether...
These four words lingered in Su Jin’s mind, making her feel a bit sympathetic towards Xie Jingchen. She looked at Xie Jingchen and asked, "Do you know how to use a whip?"
