With Zhao Erwa’s shout, the embarrassed aunties retorted, “What do you know? We’re all doing this for your sister’s sake!”
“If your sister doesn’t get married, you won’t even be able to get a wife in the future!”
No girl would be willing to let their eldest sister-in-law stay at home and do nothing. Even if Zhao Lanzhi could earn money, they still had the same traditional mindset.
Zhao Erwa roared, “So be it!”
“I don’t like women who despise my sister!”
The aunties said unhappily, “When you grow up, you’ll know how much disdain a woman will suffer if she can’t get married.”
“Do you want your sister to be criticized for the rest of her life?”
“People will think that there’s something wrong with your sister’s body or her brain!”
“If you join in the fuss, it won’t be because you are thinking for your sister, but you’ve harmed her!’
“Have you ever seen a woman who doesn’t get married or have children or carry on the family line?”
“Look at Madam Bai. She’s married to our Master Chu and her life is so blissful. Don’t you want your sister to have someone to protect and dote on her? Apart from Pengfei, who else can wait for your sister for so long! Other people would have already married someone else.”
“Pengfei has his mind on your sister and thinks about her. He even taught you martial arts when he’s free. If he marries your sister, he will definitely treat your sister well like Master Chu and love her for the rest of his life. Don’t you think that’s good?”
Zhao Erwa was a child after all. In an instant, he actually felt that their words made sense.
He turned around and looked at Zhao Lanzhi in confusion. He hoped that Zhao Lanzhi could find her own happiness, but he also wanted her to make her own choice.
Meeting Zhao Lanzhi’s silent gaze, he retorted firmly, “If my sister doesn’t like it, she won’t marry!”
The aunties refused to give up and said to Zhao Lanzhi, “Pengfei treats you so well. Can’t you give him a chance?”
They thought that Zhao Lanzhi was waiting for a way out. After all, she had previously said that she would not marry Zhao Pengfei even if she died. Now that they had laid out so many steps, Zhao Lanzhi would definitely take the opportunity to step down.
Zhao Pengfei, who had applied the medicine, was also silently looking forward to it, hoping to get an approval from Zhao Lanzhi.
Apart from Zhao Lanzhi’s cold gaze, there was nothing.
She really did not have any feelings for him anymore.
In an instant, Zhao Pengfei’s heart ached and he lowered his head weakly.
Auntie Yang comforted her son. “As long as you persist, an iron pestle can be ground into a needle.”
Zhao Pengfei had already tried his best, but Zhao Lanzhi was becoming colder and colder to him.
He didn’t want to end up seeing only hatred and disgust in her eyes.
He suddenly stood up and walked to the chattering aunties. “Stop it. It’s all my fault. I’ve been disturbing Lanzhi the whole time. ‘
He had just fought with Shan Jiefu. His face was swollen and he looked pitiful, causing the aunties to say even more, “Lanzhi, look at how considerate Pengfei is for you!”
“That’s right. Why are you unhappy when he feels so bad for you?”
Zhao Pengfei hurriedly said, “Aunties, please stop.”
The more he spoke like this, the more everyone pitied him. They even looked at Zhao Lanzhi in puzzlement.
Faced with everyone’s doubts, Zhao Lanzhi finally looked up and said something heartbreaking to Zhao Pengfei. “There’s no need for you to pretend.”
The aunties said unhappily, “Lanzhi, how can you say that? He’s concerned about you! ‘
Zhao Lanzhi looked at them with a cold gaze. “He was the one who let me down first. I’ve never let him down. I don’t want to have anything to do with him in this life. If you all continue to spout nonsense, I’ll die!’
Zhao Lanzhi looked gentle and weak, but she had her own thoughts.
The aunties, who still wanted to persuade her, were completely speechless when she heard that she was unwilling to marry Zhao Pengfei and even threatened to die.
If they really forced her to death, Madam Zhao would definitely cause a ruckus with them.
Bai Wutong admired Zhao Lanzhi’s unyielding character. She specially wrote a calligraphy character for her, hoping to comfort her.
This calligraphy piece was sent with great fanfare. Everyone was very curious about what Bai Wutong had sent.
Zhao Lanzhi took it and opened it. It was the character “Jie” which meant a female hero. She praised her for being unafraid of societal pressure and persevering.
She instantly smiled and put the calligraphy scroll into her arms.
Bai Wutong was now Consort Ling. By commending Zhao Lanzhi, it meant that she was displeased with the other people’s previous attitude.
The aunties all shrank their heads and thought to themselves that they would not be nosy in the future.
When Madam Zhao saw that Zhao Lanzhi had received a gift from Bai Wutong, she was both happy and worried. She was happy that her daughter had been acknowledged by Bai Wutong, but she was also worried that Zhao Lanzhi, who had been acknowledged, would keep the calligraphy as a token and never get married again.
At the same time that the tapioca was transported into Baye City, Gu Chilie found Wen Renhua and asked him to immediately perform acupuncture on Chu Tianbao.
Since Chu Tianbao had lost his memories and did not acknowledge him as his father, he wanted to let him regain his memories and see what “good” things he had done.
Wen Renhua explained patiently to Gu Chilie, “The blood clot in the depths of Master Chu’s head requires an absolutely quiet and safe environment to recover. It’s not something that can be completely dissipated in a day. When it completely settles down, I’ll perform acupuncture on Master Chu.”
Gu Chilie said impatiently, “We’re already at Baye. How else do you want to stabilize it! I think you clearly don’t want to give my son acupuncture treatment!”
Wen Renhua said helplessly, “As long as Master Chu personally says that he wants to perform acupuncture now, I will definitely obey.”
Gu Chilie snorted and turned around to bring Gu Liancheng to the tent where
Bai Wutong and Chu Tianbao were. “I’ve already ordered Wen Renhua to make preparations. Come with me to receive treatment now.”
He was looking at Chu Tianbao as he spoke. As for Bai Wutong, he felt disgusted just looking at her.
Even if Chu Tianbao regained his memories and wanted to keep her, Gu Chilie would never acknowledge her as his daughter-in-law.
On the other hand, if Chu Tianbao wanted to use his power to ascend to the throne, Bai Wutong had to be chased away.
The surroundings were noisy. It was not a good time to perform acupuncture on Chu Tianbao. Bai Wutong frowned, and Chu Tianbao glanced at her. “I’ll look for him myself.”
The hidden meaning was that Gu Chilie did not have to worry.
Gu Chilie asked around from the villagers and learned that his son had not reported to Emperor Linghui at all. Emperor Linghui probably did not know that Chu Tianbao was still alive.
He accused Chu Tianbao, “It’s really stupid of you to refuse to recover your memories and take responsibility because of your love affair!’
‘When you regain your memories and know what you’ve missed and forgotten these past few days, you’ll regret it sooner or later!”
He pointed at Bai Wutong again. “If she really wants the best for you, why won’t she let you regain your memories? To put it bluntly, she’s afraid that you’ll leave her after you regain your memories! She’s just using you!”
Bai Wutong only wanted to give Chu Tianbao the safest treatment environment, but Gu Liancheng misinterpreted her as a woman with evil intentions.
She smirked and retorted without hesitation.. “So what’s your intentions? Would a father who’s really doing his child a favor rush him to regain his memories when he knows his surroundings aren’t suitable for treatment?’
