Chapter 1930: Chapter 1868: I Don’t Mind, Mother-in-law

Ah Jiu was summoned by Emperor Yan, and in Cining Palace, only Empress Dowager Mo and her daughter-in-law Wufu were left.

After revealing the secret hidden in her heart, Empress Dowager Mo felt a bit uneasy facing Wufu alone. After all, losing one’s virtue is a disgrace for a woman, especially when the person involved is one’s stepson, making it utterly shameful.

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were silent for a moment until Empress Dowager Mo broke the silence, saying, "Do you think I am filthy?"

Wufu had just taken a sip of tea, and upon hearing this, she spluttered, coughed twice, and wanted to wipe her mouth with a handkerchief, only to realize she had given it to Empress Dowager Mo to wipe her tears, so she used her fingers instead.

Empress Dowager Mo’s lips twitched in disdain, "How could you just..." Then, seeing the handkerchief in her hand, she handed it over.

Wufu didn’t mind, wiped herself, and said, "Royal Mother, what did you just say?"

Empress Dowager Mo mockingly said, "A dignified Empress Dowager, the most noble in the world, yet so filthy in secret; it’s reasonable if you look down on me. This palace is indeed filthy, dark, and disgusting."

"If I said I didn’t mind, you probably wouldn’t believe me, right?" Wufu took a dish of cherries from the side table, tossed one into her mouth, and said.

Empress Dowager Mo was stunned, looking at her.

"It’s not because I’m not your daughter, so I don’t care if you lose your virtue or not, but to speak out, I’m afraid it would only anger you. As for me, your daughter-in-law, I do not value female purity highly." Wufu threw another cherry into her mouth and said, "Of course, I won’t ignore the palace rules, but I most detest how women who lose their chastity are seen as a public disgrace, even to the point of being killed. Especially those who haven’t really lost their chastity, treated so harshly."

"Touching a hand, exposing a bit of skin, is it really more important than life? The ancients said it’s a minor thing to die of hunger but a big deal to lose chastity, and I absolutely do not agree." Wufu wrinkled her nose and said, "In my heart, nothing is more important than life. Once a person dies, there’s nothing left; all injuries in the face of death are just minor wounds. Oh, including what you call losing virtue."

"Even if it were me, if someone forced me or something, I wouldn’t think I’m wrong or dirty. If Ah Jiu dares to despise me, I’d leave him first. Unless I degrade myself and fool around with others when I have a marriage contract or husband." Wufu continued with her unpleasant speech.

"Nonsense!" Empress Dowager Mo glared at her, "Who curses themselves like that?"

Wufu shrugged, handing her a cherry, and smiled, "I’m just giving an example."

Empress Dowager Mo took the cherry, "Even so, it’s not acceptable."

"Alright, as you wish." Wufu stuffed the cherry into her mouth and said, "Royal Mother, you don’t have to blame yourself or feel guilty; you did nothing wrong. As a woman, you couldn’t resist in that matter, so why not enjoy it? After all, he’s not related by blood; you can consider him a tool, a plaything. We women have emotions and desires to satisfy too."

Empress Dowager Mo was nearly faint with anger from her words, "You, you’re getting more and more ridiculous; what nonsense!"

Wufu giggled, "Just saying, don’t take it too seriously. I don’t mind, and as for Ah Jiu, he won’t think you’re in the wrong either."

Empress Dowager Mo shook her head speechlessly and amusedly, seeing the sincerity in her eyes, and thought her daughter-in-law’s perspective was indeed different from the usual noble women, quite eye-opening, so she didn’t continue on this topic, looking outside the hall, "I wonder if Ah Jiu can hold his temper."

Wufu furrowed her brows too, her earlier ease gone, fearing it would be difficult indeed.
