Peasant Woman's Decreed Life as a Wife

Chapter 2128: Chapter 2125: Speaking Out Against Injustice

“Sis, what are you doing here!” Zhou Erlang was shocked.

Zhou Jiaojiao, accompanied by her future husband, rolled her eyes upon hearing this: “Why can’t I be here? What have you been up to?”

“Listening to a storyteller.” Zhou Erlang was pretty carefree. He first greeted his future brother-in-law and then forgot about his own sister entering the bathhouse. Speaking of the matter, he felt somewhat upset: “I always felt the story hasn’t changed. Where did those rumors come from.”

“Hmph, of course, it hasn’t changed! The content of this script was already written completely. Is there a need to change it? Those scholars are just being unreasonable. It’s just a story. How can it have such a big impact? If they don’t like it, they don’t have to listen. Why come to trouble the bathhouse!”

Beside her, Qin Yu, hearing his fiancée’s remarks, raised his eyebrows but thought this matter wasn’t simple. The impact of a storybook could be significant.

After all, storytelling can be understood by both the literate and the illiterate.

Now, the entire capital has probably heard about this storybook.

The influence might indeed be considerable.

“Which scholar are you saying said this?” Zhou Erlang frowned, “I don’t know which scholar it was. In the future, I won’t associate with him. We’re not on the same path. To avoid getting angry every time this topic comes up.”

Qin Yu originally thought his cousin might say something insightful about judging a person by their remarks, but it seemed he was thinking too much.

“I heard it was Su Yushi’s son, Su Ting.” Zhou Jiaojiao often came to the bathhouse with Chu Ziluo. The servants at the bathhouse recognized her, so when she asked about gossip, they were happy to share.

“So it was that guy…”

Seeing his cousin preparing to go trouble the other party with a ready-to-fight stance.

He coughed lightly and reminded, “Second Brother, there’s no need to rush. The comment might not have come from that Su family’s son. You can investigate clearly first before making a decision. Knowing both oneself and the enemy leads to victory in a hundred battles.”

“Hey, brother-in-law, you’re right. I’ll go to the school to gather some news first.” Zhou Erlang waved his hand, picked up his long robe, and ran towards the school.

“No way, I also need to tell Ziluo.” Zhou Jiaojiao clenched her fists and said.

Qin Yu: “…” He initially wanted to say that the Chu family probably already knew this news, but thinking that his fiancée had good intentions, he kept silent. He only escorted Zhou Jiaojiao to the Chu family before returning to the Shuntian Prefecture yamen to attend to official work.

Meanwhile.

Zhou Jiaojiao was invited into Chu Ziluo’s backyard.

Seeing the grape trellis, the swing, and all sorts of ice treats laid out on the stone table in the yard, she sat down comfortably.

“Ziluo, your yard is just too comfy.” Zhou Jiaojiao sat on the swing, holding onto the rope with one hand and a cone with the other, eating with great satisfaction, nearly forgetting the important matter.

“As long as you like it.” Chu Ziluo said with a smile.

She quickly licked the cone a couple of times and angrily recounted the news she heard at the bathhouse.

“You say, is that Su family’s second son out of his mind? Listening to a storybook and going to trouble the storyteller. Why doesn’t he want to reach the heavens!”

Chu Ziluo chuckled and said seriously, “Maybe it’s not that he doesn’t want to reach the heavens, but that he can’t.”

Zhou Jiaojiao: “…” She was exaggerating to vent, but Ziluo took it so earnestly.

“Ziluo, aren’t you angry?” Zhou Jiaojiao couldn’t understand.

In Chu Ziluo’s smiling eyes, there was a flash of wisdom: “I’m not angry. Clearly, the ones humiliated are them.”
