The favorite of the royal group: the money-loving little ancestor soared to the top by selling talis

Chapter 218 Chapter 218: Breaking through customs and shackles

Ninth day of the Lunar New Year

Shen Hong went to the morning court, and the four brothers Shen Zhiyuan also went to the academy.

The palace suddenly became quiet.

During the Spring Festival, Ruan Ruan played like crazy for several days and couldn't adapt. He would rather lie in bed and sleep all day instead of practicing.

Drawing talisman seals is hard work, very hard. Even if she is very talented, she can draw a low-level talisman seal script after three practices.

Practicing swordsmanship is also very hard. Her sword is heavier and taller than her.

There are hundreds of kinds of herbal medicine, and the prescription of each elixir is also very complicated, and the process of refining the medicine is even more troublesome.

Sometimes Ruan Ruan wonders whether he is suitable for cultivation and why he is just a baby less than two years old and embarks on the most difficult road in the world.

But when I think about myself being exposed so much and having a family behind me, how can I protect them if I don’t strengthen myself?
So Ruan Ruan cheered up.

I will start practicing officially tomorrow, I won’t be lazy.

……

that night
The Cheng family invited Ruan Ruan and his family to have dinner at Cheng Mansion.

Cheng Shushu did not eat at the table, which aroused the suspicion of Shen Hong's family.

Although Ms. Chen said she was feeling unwell and was sick.

But Ruan Ruan and Shen Hong didn't believe it.

Only Shen Zhiyuan knew the reason, but he couldn't say.

After dinner, everyone sat in the lobby, drank tea and chatted.

As they chatted, Mrs. Cheng’s eyes became moist.

"Mom, why are you crying? What's going on? I always feel that you are hiding something from me." Cheng Yurong sat next to Mrs. Cheng and took out a handkerchief to wipe the tears on her face.

Ruan Ruan and Shen Hong craned their necks, waiting to hear Mrs. Cheng's answer.

"Rong'er, I... alas... I'm not Shu'er yet." Seeing the curious faces of the Shen family, Mrs. Cheng slowly spoke, whetting their appetites.

"What's wrong with Shu'er?" Cheng Yurong asked, looking worried.

Ruan Ruan tilted his head with curiosity on his face.

What about my eldest cousin?
Mrs. Cheng pursed her lips and did not answer. She was too embarrassed to say such things.

The third aunt's voice was filled with tears: "Little sister, brother-in-law, you have to help Shu'er."

"Third sister-in-law, what's wrong with Shu'er? Tell me quickly." Cheng Yurong was so anxious that she looked at Mr. Cheng and Mrs. Cheng.

"Mom and dad, how long are you going to keep this secret from me? I watched Shu'er grow up, and I have always loved her as my daughter."

She was extremely kind to Cheng Shushu, her niece, and everyone in the capital knew how much she loved her third brother's four daughters.

Before giving birth to Ruan Ruan, she really raised her three sisters and four sisters as her biological daughters.

So now that something happened to Cheng Shushu, she was more anxious than Mrs. Chen.

"Little sister, don't worry, I'm telling you...yesterday, we accidentally found more than a dozen letters in Shu'er's room..." Aunt Lin didn't tell her family when she saw them, so she could only stand up and explain the matter in detail. clear.

After hearing this, Cheng Yurong was thunderstruck.

How can this be?

She saw that Cheng Shushu had always behaved herself and was a very normal child.
If Cheng Shushu was forced to marry someone she didn't like, she wouldn't be so ruthless.

After all, she also wants Cheng Shushu to be happy.

It’s just that the person who can make Cheng Shushu happy happens to be the same sex.
In fact, Ruan Ruan supports her eldest cousin in pursuing her own happiness, but she is a child and has no say.

If you don't follow your heart and enjoy yourself in this life, then why are you still living?

People only live this life, who knows if there will be a next life. But in the ancient world of Dai Viet, the consequences of a woman not getting married were worse than a man not getting married.

There are many men who do not get married, which is a normal phenomenon.

After all, the number of women is much smaller than that of men. Coupled with problems such as dowry customs, many low-class men remain unmarried and infertile throughout their lives.

But women can almost get married unless they don’t want to get married.

As long as the requirements are not high, even if she is disabled, mentally ill, infertile, and has no dowry, she can still marry herself off.

No one talks about being a bachelor, let alone scolds him.

But if a woman doesn't get married, she will be criticized and insulted by others throughout her life.

There is not much difference between ancient times and modern times. Women have always been attacked.

Therefore, many women will be forced to marry.

Xu Wanrou sympathized with Cheng Shushu. If the Cheng family forced her to marry another man, she would be very sad.

But, is there a second way?

Shen Zhicheng looked curious,
Cheng Yurong looked at the faces of each Cheng family member. She knew that they all cared about Cheng Shushu and wanted to make her happy but also did not want to hurt her.

"Father, mother, third sister-in-law, don't worry. The matter has not reached its most serious point yet, give Shu'er some time."

This is the advice, but when Cheng Yurong thinks of her children, how will she solve it?
Brothers Shen Hong and Shen Zhiyuan did not express their opinions.

Ruan Ruan smiled and ate snacks without expressing his opinion.

"Rong'er, what do you think we should do? We went to look for the woman in Shu'er's heart yesterday, but we found nothing." Mr. Cheng said helplessly.

"Dad, do you want me to help find this person?" Shen Hong said.

Mr. Cheng nodded: "Sorry to trouble you..."

"No trouble, I'll try my best. But I can't even find you. I'm afraid this person is not of low status."

"Yeah, that's what I'm worried about."

"Brother-in-law, you have worked hard these days. When Shu'er's matter is settled, Sister-in-law will treat you to a meal." Ms. Chen pretended to be polite.

It's not that she just invited Shen Hong to have a meal so casually. In the past ten years, the Cheng family and the Shen family have had a good relationship and there is nothing embarrassing about helping each other.

"It's not hard. Shu'er is also my niece. As an uncle, I also want her to be happy." Shen Hong got several letters from Cheng Shushu and analyzed the information contained in the letters.

At this time, a figure rushed over.

Steal the letter from Shen Hong's hand.

"Mom, grandpa, grandma, can you please stay out of my business, please..."

Cheng Shushu quickly tore up several letters and threw them into the air. The pieces of paper slowly floated down.

Everyone... was stunned.

They didn't realize that Cheng Shushu tore the letter into pieces. When they came back to their senses, they found that all the pieces of paper had fallen to the ground.

And after she yelled, she ran away quickly.

"Cousin, you are so awesome. Cousin, Ruan Ruan admires you so much." Ruan Ruan clapped her hands and applauded.

It was very difficult to break through customs and shackles in ancient times.

But this spirit and courage are commendable.

Must be encouraged and supported.

Only when people continue to resist will there be less oppression.

Of course, sacrifices are inevitable.
