Chapter 421 Conversation with Mu Fei Xin (2)

Mu Fei Xin smiled when she saw Nan Hua staring back at her. For some reason, she felt that this little girl in front of her was so cute to ask that question to her. Rather than offended, she felt that the girl in front of her was a bit pitiful.

She had no mother who would teach her about this matter.

"When you get married with Young Commander Long, you'll understand," Mu Fei Xin added with a faint smile.

Nan Hua was speechless.

Why did it suddenly turn to her marriage?

Recalling what her aunt told her, Nan Hua forced herself to have red cheek. While she didn't actually feel anything, she had to act as if she was embarrassed because of the custom in this era.

Any mention of marriage would make girls shy.

That was what her aunt told her.

"Your Highness, please don't tease me," Nan Hua said in a helpless tone.

Mu Fei Xin laughed and covered her mouth with her sleeve. "My apologies. As an apology, when you get married to him in the future, I'll come to watch."

Nan Hua: "…"

She was sure that the princess consort in front of her didn't have any intention of apologizing. It seemed that this girl also has a hobby of teasing someone. Even though Nan Hua was only around one to two years younger than the other party, she kept on getting teased.

"This time is harsh for us women." Mu Fei Xin stood up. She looked at Nan Hua. "My family is close to me, but they will not allow me to be the embarrassment of the family."

In other words, they would not allow her to be divorced.

There was divorce in this era. But different from the modern world where divorce could be initiated by either the man or woman. This era only allowed divorce from the husband's side.

Which meant, that when the woman was getting divorced, it meant that the one who was wrong would be the woman.

It was indeed very harsh for them.

But that was the law.

Nan Hua looked at Mu Fei Xin. Her eyes flickered before she lowered her gaze. "Thank you for your guidance, Your Highness."

Mu Fei Xin nodded and then turned around. "We shall see each other in the future again, Miss Nan."

"Yes, Your Highness."

It was only after Mu Fei Xin had walked out did Nan Hua also stood up. She could still remember her aunt repeatedly told her that this era was harsh for women. No matter what they did, they really couldn't be compared to the men. It was as if this had been engraved to the bones.

From the moment they were born, their value was only to be the decoration and to serve as breeding tool for the man.

It was hard to live in this era.

Unless they were willing to stay in a remote village where they were not surrounded by anyone, they might be able to live by themselves. But how many people would willingly do that? It was impossible.

However, the warring era did provide them with some leeway.

Some women who were dedicated to martial arts and had the chance managed to make their name separated from males. At least, that was what Nan Hua had read from the story before. After all, there were several renowned female generals. Some of them was already famous by this time but some others were still unknown.

It would take time for their names to be known.

As for others…

It was hard.

This was also why Nan Hua's mother couldn't do anything even though her husband was abusing her so badly. When the matter was made known, it only caused a bit of ripple because of Old Master Nan but it didn't affect Nan Shu Cheng that much.

Because in the eyes of law, it was only a husband disciplining his wife.

There was nothing wrong.

The only reason he was punished heavily later on was because of his conduct of favoring a concubine far more than his main wife to the point of pushing her to her death. This was the only problem but there was no problem of him 'hitting' his own wife and 'disciplining' his daughter.

Children couldn't pick who they were going to marry because their parents would be the one to pick that person. In addition, they were stuck with that person for their entire life unless they wanted to live with their name tarnished.

This was what Mu Fei Xin wanted to tell Nan Hua.

When she got married in the future, she was basically stuck with her husband for her entire life.

Knock!

Nan Hua gently knocked the wall that was connected to Nan Luo's room. "Luo, if you wish to eavesdrop, hide your presence better."

Nan Luo, who was in bad mood because of what Mu Fei Xin said, was stunned. He nearly dropped to the ground because of his shock. "I didn't do anything, Hua'er!"

"Is that so?" Nan Hua knew very well that Nan Luo was eavesdropping her conversation with Mu Fei Xin. Not only Nan Luo, even Feng Ao Kuai was also eavesdropping from the other room.

Their skill to hide their presence was still too bad in Nan Hua's opinion.

"Yes!"

Nan Luo then proceeded to run to the other side of the room and jumped on his bed. He didn't want to do anything that might provoke his twin sister lest he got tortured during training once more.

However, when he was listening to their conversation, he did feel bad.

Really bad.

It was just that there was nothing he could do to change the past and how Nan Hua's treatment that he could only drop the matter. However, he genuinely hoped that his twin sister would not suffer in the hands of her future husband…

Speaking of that man, Nan Luo was determined to have a good spar against him to make sure that the man would not have any idea of bullying his sister.

He should be able to defeat that man now.

Right?
