Chapter 265 Rebirth: Pampered Until Her Legs Go Weak (1)
But this is the tragedy of women in this era.
Reputation is more important than life.
General Bai loved his wife dearly and was known for his chastity.
To others, however, it appeared as a sign of his fear of his domineering wife.
General Bai would be laughed at every time he drank with his fellow disciples.
Bai Ruofu's mother was taught from a young age that as the legitimate mother of a high-ranking family, her husband must have three wives and four concubines; otherwise, it would be considered that she had not arranged things properly.
-
Bai Ruofu was still young at the time and simply felt that her mother was making things difficult for her.
If you don't want to do something, why do it?
My mother always said that she would understand when she grew up.
But Bai Ruofu still didn't understand even after she came of age.
She even has the idea of "one person for life".
This seemed absurd to the mother.
Later, her mother said that she would understand once she got married and became the mistress of the house.
-
Her mother took her to a banquet hosted by the princess.
There were many young women at the banquet who were either about to reach the age of marriage or had just reached that age.
Everyone knew the answer.
This banquet was actually held by the princess to select a consort for her son, Jiang Yishu, who was granted the title of Prince.
The princess only had one son, Jiang Yishu.
The selection of a concubine was naturally handled with utmost care.
-
Bai Ruofu wasn't actually very interested in becoming a princess consort.
She was strolling in the garden with two maids.
It must be said that the scenery at the Princess's Palace is quite nice.
After walking for a while, Bai Ruoqiao's maidservant came running over in a panic.
"Second Miss, something terrible has happened! Third Miss has fallen into the pond..."
Bai Ruofu is the second child, with an older brother who is currently guarding the border.
Bai Ruofu and Bai Ruoqiao are of different legal status (legitimate and illegitimate), and their relationship is not very close.
But after all, she is his sister.
If something happens to her, it will be a disgrace to the entire Bai family.
Bai Ruofu certainly wanted to go and see.
-
But halfway there, all the maids simultaneously complained of stomach aches and needed to relieve themselves.
Bai Ruofu then went to find Bai Ruoqiao first.
While passing by an artificial hill, I was suddenly pulled into the hill by a large hand!
This hand has distinct joints, and is long and slender.
Very beautiful.
Bai Ruofu thought she had encountered a lecherous man!
She had a small knife hidden in her purse, specifically for warding off backstabbers.
It would be a lie to say I wasn't afraid when I was being held hostage.
She took out a small knife and plunged it viciously into the man's throat...
But just as she was about to be stabbed, she discovered that the person who had kidnapped her was not some lecherous scoundrel, but the princess's son, the object of many young ladies' dreams at the banquet that day—Jiang Yishu.
The blade veered slightly, but thankfully no one was injured.
Bai Ruofu quieted down and asked in a low voice, "Your Highness... what does this mean?"
-
To be honest, Bai Ruofu didn't think Jiang Yishu had any bad intentions.
He's a prince; what kind of woman can't he have?
Moreover, she... had read Jiang Yishu's articles.
Seeing the writing is like seeing the person, so Bai Ruofu felt that Jiang Yishu must be a magnanimous and devoted man.
really.
Seeing that she didn't struggle, Jiang Yishu quickly released her.
He first said, "Excuse me."
He then said, "Second sister, forgive my bluntness, but your half-sister has ulterior motives. I saw her and her maid preparing moss-covered pebbles by the pond with my own eyes. I swear, I saw it with my own eyes. If I am lying, I, Jiang..."
Seeing Jiang Yishu raise his finger to swear an oath, Bai Ruofu quickly pressed her finger gently against his lips.
