Chapter 146 Remarry
“I know ‘Lesson for Women’. It seems to be a book that teaches women how to abide by their duties. It’s very popular among the Han noble ladies.” Qin Lingyun didn’t understand how a book could have such a big relationship with his sister-in-law. He somewhat understood Guan Suyi’s character, she would never talk nonsense without a certain degree of certainty.

“Not only is it popular with Han noble ladies, but it is also highly respected by pedantic-minded and rigid Confucian scholars. Now, in this Yanjing city, almost every Confucian scholar will transcribe a copy of the “Lesson for Women” and order the women in the family to study it. Although your sister-in-law has no immediate relatives, the entire clan has moved to the capital to settle down because of your care. The clan leader is a stubborn old Confucian, who after reading the book, deeply hated the women for not being chaste. It doesn’t matter if she reconciled, or remarry, or has a private communication with a man, or privately set a marriage, she will be sunk in the pond. Looking at your ruddy face and your mouth has become sharp, the happy occasion with your sister-in-law must be near, right? You have to keep an eye on her, lest there be too many dreams at night* and happy events turn into disasters.”

“What you said is true?” Qin Lingyun asked, but in fact he had already believed it by eight to nine points. For some reason, after listening to Guan Suyi’s narration, he was furious and almost desperate, as if he had experienced the pain of losing his sister-in-law, and wished he could put on a pair of wings and fly back to her immediately.

“Whether it’s true, you can find out if you send someone to investigate.” Guan Suyi felt a pain in her fingertips, and inhaled, “What are you doing all of a sudden, let go.”

Only then did Emperor Sheng Yuan return to his senses, and he quickly let go of Madam’s fingertips and said solemnly, “The Confucian family member are not allowed to reconcile, or remarry, or have a private communication with a man, or privately set the marriage? Madam, it seems that you and I have already committed all the sins?”

Guan Suyi laughed angrily, “I may have reconciled and have a private communication, but who said that you and I have privately agreed to remarry? Besides, what does it mean to commit all the sins, just based on someone lifting her wrist and dropping the tip of the brush, then all women in the world are shackled and chained. Who does she think she is? The mighty Buddha? When I go back, I will tear off a layer of her face and tell her to shut up forever!”

Emperor Sheng Yuan patted her on the shoulder and comforted, “Madam, don’t be angry, I will ban this booklet when I go back, so that you can remarry with piece of mind.”

Guan Suyi glared at him dumbfoundedly, “Defending people’s mouth is more important than defending the river*, why are you banning it for no reason? It will only make it more wildly circulated in secret. Naturally I have a way to make the writer lose face, no need to bother others.” At the end, she looked at Qin Lingyun and said, “Return to your sense! We’re now on the road, it’s useless to think too much. This matter, I will resolve it myself, if it’s leave to you, when something goes wrong you will only ask the victim repeatedly, but the murderer was left alone. You can’t find any clues, so I’ll do it myself. Do you have a brush and paper? Prepare it for me.”

Qin Lingyun could no longer doubt her, so he took out the four treasures of the study from his luggage and laid them out neatly one by one. Emperor Sheng Yuan picked up the water bag, poured some water into the inkstone, and slowly grinded it evenly.

“First of all, this person must know about my entanglement with Hunnar.” Guan Suyi picked up the brush and wrote the words “insider” on the paper.

“I do have a suspect in mind.” Emperor Sheng Yuan briefly explained the Little Brother’s blabber mouth, and gritted his teeth, “If I find any evidence, no matter whether she’s former subordinate of imperial sister or the noble daughter of the Pan family, she will definitely pay the consequences!”
