Chapter 213: The Palace’s Maiden Selection
"You really don’t want to marry him? What if he’s a handsome and talented man?"
Xiao Ruoshui shook her head like a rattle. "Unless it’s someone I like, I won’t marry."
Shen Yijia was in a difficult position. Filial piety was paramount in this world. With Song Jingchen’s personality, he definitely wouldn’t interfere.
If she told him, not only would he not help, he would probably order her not to interfere.
Shen Yijia suddenly sympathized with Xiao Ruoshui. She had liked Song Jingchen for so long, although it was better that she knew her own preferences.
She held her chin and thought for a moment. "Why don’t you find someone you like and marry him first? That way, your father can’t force you to marry again."
Didn’t they say that a woman obeys her father at home, but obeys her husband after being married? Even her father wouldn’t be able to control her after she got married.
Seeing that she had been thinking for so long, Xiao Ruoshui initially thought that Shen Yijia had a good idea, but it turned out to be a silly idea. She rolled her eyes. "That’s not marrying myself off. It’s called having an illicit relationship. My father won’t make me marry again, but he’ll probably beat me to death."
"That won’t do. You should listen to your father and get married." Shen Yijia scratched her head. If she hadn’t treated Xiao Ruoshui as her companion, she wouldn’t have bothered.
As soon as she finished speaking, Xiao Ruoshui immediately looked at her as if she wanted to cry.
