Chapter 443 - 444 The Poisoning of Feudal Thought
The next morning, Miao Qingqing hadn’t gotten out of bed yet when Xiao Yingying actually sneaked into her room.
"Hey, what are you doing?" Miao Qingqing yawned and made some room for Xiao Yingying, saying, "It’s so early, why aren’t you with Dongzi instead of running over here?"
Xiao Yingying hugged Miao Qingqing’s arm and said, "Sister Qingqing, I’m really so happy, all of this is thanks to you, I’m here to show my respects. In ancient times, when a man took a concubine, the concubine had to pay her respects to the main wife in the morning, otherwise, it would be considered rude and ignorant, and she would have no standing in the household."
"What main wife and concubine, this isn’t ancient times." Miao Qingqing said this, but in her heart, she still felt quite pleased; at the very least, Xiao Yingying’s gesture was humble enough and showed her sufficient respect.
"No matter the time, such traditions shouldn’t be abandoned, otherwise everyone in the family will want to vie for the top spot and there’ll be no peace at home. Our family should rely on what you say, Qingqing, you should manage the harem. That way there will be harmony and no problems."
"Pfft, manage a harem, as if! You’re not enough for him, and he still wants to bring in two more?" Miao Qingqing replied with annoyance.
"That’s not what I mean, I’m just talking about us," Xiao Yingying stuck out her tongue.
"Alright, alright, you sure know how to make a fuss. Since we’re all one family, and I’m older than you, I’m your sister, and you’re my little sister then," Miao Qingqing conceded.
"Thank you, Sister Qingqing, although we can address each other that way, in my heart, I’ll still obediently do my own part," Xiao Yingying replied.
"You... you’re really a victim of feudal thinking," Miao Qingqing shook her head, feeling the distance between her and Xiao Yingying fade further.
"Oh, Sister Qingqing, Brother Dongzi is really amazing, he totally wore me out last night."
"Ah... your health?" Miao Qingqing hadn’t expected Xiao Yingying to talk about this, but couldn’t help asking.
