Chapter 703 - 0703: Offense as Defense 4_1
This matter was well known to Feng Qingxue who had read history books, and it was also clear to Jiang Xiaoyue who lived in the big courtyard; she anxiously hastened to say in a low voice, "Bai Xue, you mustn’t discuss such matters. These are not topics we can debate about. Be careful, walls have ears!"
Innumerable couples were formed for a revolutionary cause during the resistance war; there was more than one Su Junshu who followed the example of the behavior of higher rank officials.
Hence, everybody was aware and understood this matter but couldn’t voice it out.
Yes, indeed. Jiang Xiaoyue pitied those original spouses who were left behind in their hometowns, living or dead, but what could she do? Her mother hadn’t even conceived her at that time. Now, when she has grown up, she can’t say or do anything about this. Even her father, who abhors evil so deeply, doesn’t allow her to comment on this matter in private, for fear of incurring resentment from others.
Bai Xue immediately covered her own mouth, her face and her eyes revealing a touch of panic. It took her a while to recover and act normally.
"I know. I understand what should be said and what should not be said. I’ve suffered a lot already; I cannot give people any more leverage over me! They’re too overbearing, and I can’t stand it! Yes, I know, I wanted to tie my fate to someone influential and powerful, someone young, handsome, and with promising prospects. I wanted to marry such a cadre because an ordinary person might not be able to protect me. I don’t feel ashamed of this. But I didn’t seduce those young masters in the big courtyard; I didn’t flirt with them. Whether they pursue me or flatter me or even harass me, it’s all their doing. I couldn’t force them to pursue me, flatter me or harass me!"
