Chapter 230 The Righteous Way (19)
Bai Xingke said: "But no matter how many rules there are in the mansion, they are not as many as the rules in the palace."
"Now that you're married, don't you have to follow the rules?"
Bai Xingke frowned and said, "That's different. At least we can be the mistress and don't have to serve others."
Lu Changqing tilted his head and said in confusion: "Why aren't you serving others? Isn't the mistress serving Dad? Isn't the eldest sister-in-law serving the eldest brother?"
“This…this…” Bai Xingke was speechless for a moment.
"If I enter the palace to serve the nobles, they can give me a high position and generous salary. If I get married and serve a man, given the temperament of these nobles in the capital, they can only make me angry and give me nothing."
"Why not just treat them as our bosses? They provide us with a stable living condition, and we manage their household affairs for them. Isn't that great?"
Lu Changqing was surprised that Bai Xingke had come up with the marriage management philosophy of "treating her husband as her boss" so early. You know, in the plot, she only said this when chatting with her confidants after she got married.
"Boss? How could you have such a ridiculous idea?"
Bai Xingke asked doubtfully, "Is it ridiculous?"
Lu Changqing asked back in horror: "Isn't it ridiculous?"
At work, I at least have six insurances and one fund. If I am unhappy, I can just quit. If I encounter an unscrupulous boss, I can also go to labor arbitration.
Even in ancient times, I was employed and sold my labor.
You don’t have to risk your life to give birth to a child for your employer, you don’t have to serve your mother and manage all the family affairs, and you don’t have to worry about getting sick!
Therefore, the idea of treating your husband as your boss is purely ridiculous. Even though you are being exploited by men, you still have to seek a spiritual victory.
Commonly known as washing underwear with a cold face.
Anyone who takes it seriously is a complete idiot!
Lu Changqing felt that Bai Xingke's thoughts had been too seriously poisoned by the creators, and he did not seem like someone who had received modern education.
She felt that Bai Xing needed a loud slap of love, and was really conflicted about whether to expose his vest.
"Have you read 'Mang' in the Book of Songs?" Lu Changqing asked.
Bai Xingke nodded.
Lu Changqing continued, "You see, a long, long time ago, our ancestors told us that getting married is not a good thing, and if you meet a bad person, you should break up with them as soon as possible without any hesitation."
"It's not that easy to get a divorce. Have you forgotten what happened with Sister Awan?"
It would have been fine if he hadn't mentioned it, but as soon as Bai Xingke mentioned it, Lu Changqing became angry.
"It's not that difficult. Listen to me and use your power to pressure others. The Sun family won't dare to say a word. I heard that Sister Awan originally planned not to give a penny, but her mother and father listened to your mother and withheld half of her dowry to give to the Sun family in order to gain a good reputation for being kind."
Lu Changqing had never seen such a stupid person. The big villain he was referring to was Bai Wan's mother.
Bai Xingke defended her, "My mother is also thinking about Sister Wan. If her reputation is not good, she won't be able to remarry into a good family."
Lu Changqing: …
It fits the setting of that crappy book and drama very well, a group of celestial dragons who are indifferent to the suffering of ordinary people, who do nothing all day long and just worry about getting married and having children.
Besides, in the plot, Bai Wan got married for the second time. She actually married a farmer who worked on the farm.
It’s not that Lu Changqing looks down on farmers, but the difference is too big.
But at least Touhun married a scholar, but Erhun kept choosing lower-ranking candidates. It seems that she was really confused. She was afraid that she had not suffered enough, so she went to help the poor and do charity with a large dowry.
Lu Changqing was too lazy to talk about the malicious settings and descriptions of women in the plot. After all, in her opinion, the creator didn't treat the heroine Bai Xing very well, otherwise he wouldn't have chosen a big bug as the male protagonist.
It may also be that the creator was jealous of Bai Xingke and felt that she was not worthy of meeting a standard virgin male protagonist in romance novels, so he paired her with an old and rotten guy.
Lu Changqing was not wrong in saying that Bai Xing was old. After all, he was nearly fourteen years older than Bai Xing.
What is this concept?
Although there were no parents-in-law or father-in-law at home, Bai Xing had to start supporting the elderly when he was 37 years old.
Lu Changqing collected his thoughts and looked at Bai Xingke and said, "Can I ask you a favor?"
Bai Xingke looked alert and asked, "What's the matter?"
"It's not a difficult thing. Big brother is in such a state now, and big sister-in-law is about to give birth. Can you go and ask the mistress to let those concubines of big brother leave the house under the pretext of praying for the child in big sister-in-law's belly?"
The topic changed so quickly that Bai Xing didn't expect Lu Changqing to tell her about this. She frowned and asked, "They came to you for help?"
Lu Changqing waved his hand, "Not really, I just saw that several of them looked unwell before, as if they were poisoned. I asked around and they said it was because they drank contraceptive soup. Now they can't serve big brother anymore, so I thought it would be better to let them all go, which would save some money."
"Life outside the mansion is not the same as life inside. Are they really willing to leave?"
Lu Changqing said: "I think they should be willing. After all, some of them are almost dead."
Bai Xingke: ...
"Why don't you go and talk to Mom about this yourself?"
Lu Changqing opened his mouth slightly and looked at Bai Xingke in surprise.
Sister, do you want to listen to what you are saying?
Did she need to tell him how much Du Hezhi hated her? If she did, it would be strange for Du Hezhi to let Wu Xiang and the others leave.
Bai Xingke also realized that he had asked a very stupid question, and said awkwardly: "I will tell my mother about this."
Lu Changqing was afraid that Bai Mingzhou, this coward, would start to become abnormal and cause too many uncontrollable accidents, so he decided to make him have a stroke once and for all.
With the alcohol content of ancient wine, it was impossible for Bai Mingzhou's hands to tremble in just a few months. Lu Changqing mixed methanol into the wine in the wine cellar. Anyway, she didn't drink it, and other people in the mansion drank less.
Lin Wenqing did drink, but Lu Changqing had told her not to provoke that mad dog Bai Mingzhou. If she wanted to drink, she should ask the people around her to buy it from the winery outside the mansion, and not to get wine from the wine cellar.
Bai Mingzhou was still quite strong, and even methanol couldn't poison him. But there was no other way. Fearing that the night would bring more trouble, Lu Changqing could only secretly go and give him a needle in the middle of the night.
Lu Changqing did not completely paralyze Bai Mingzhou, he only made his eyes crooked and his mouth half paralyzed.
He can walk, but he has to use a cane and drag his left foot behind his right foot.
Can speak, but can't straighten his tongue and hold back saliva.
Everyone in the Bai family was dumbfounded. How could a healthy person at such a young age suffer a stroke and become paralyzed?
The saddest person among them is naturally Du Hezhi. The family's former hope has now become her despair. It is extremely painful.
He Guiyi was also hit hard. She almost fainted when she learned that her husband had a stroke. Fearing that something might happen to the baby in her belly, Bai Shiyuan went to persuade her personally, asking her to take care of her health and to keep the baby in her belly at all costs.
Probably he finally faced the reality, Lu Changqing finally heard the news of entering the palace from Bai Shiyuan.
Coincidentally, it’s on the same day as the polo match at the end of the month.
