[1] Forgotten Legend of the Bloodied Flower

Ch 421 - 425

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.
