Chapter 1165: Midnight Talk
Ning Shu was planning to rest after this busy day, but Fang Feifei walked over and said, “Doc... Doctor Zhu, I have something I want to talk to you about. Let’s go outside and talk? “
Ning Shu refused. “I’m sorry, I’m very tired and would like to rest.”
Every day was very tiring, of course she had to take advantage of this time to rest. Chat in the middle of the night? Ning Shu expressed that she didn’t have the time.
Fang Feifei’s facial color worsen a little and she said, “It won’t take up much of your time. It would make it easier for everyone if we make things clear. I want to talk to you about Zhu Yanqiu.”
Ning Shu rubbed her forehead as she got up from the wooden board and walked out of the tent with Fang Feifei.
It was already late in the night and the sky was filled with bright stars. There were footsteps nearby, clearly due to soldiers that were patrolling. Ning Shu didn’t care that it was dirty and directly sat on the ground and propped her chin up as she asked, “What do you want to say?”
Fang Feifei sat down next to Ning Shu and directly said, “I won’t give up Yanqiu. We have a common aspiration and are able to talk about anything. It’s not easy to meet such a person in one’s life. I know that Zhu Yanqiu was your husband before, but you two don’t suit each other.”
Ning Shu: ...
“So? What are you telling me this for?” Ning Shu looked at Fang Feifei. “No matter what, he’s someone that already has a family with a wife and child. You intellectuals truly are funny. You say that you’ve accepted new ideas, that you want to have freedom in love, but it’s nothing but illicit matchmakerless unions. You say people should have liberal lives, that as long as they were in love, they were justified, but this is simply the behavior of animals.”
In this era, women had no protections. At the very least, in the ancient era, society attached great importance to marriage and placed marriage at the root of all rites. On the surface, there were still three reasons a wife could not be divorced.
Fang Feifei’s facial color darkened slightly as she said, “What kind of outdated thinking is this? The times are different now. Everyone has the right to pursue their own happiness. Doctor Zhu, if you want to tie Zhu Yanqiu down with your child, know that it’s impossible. Once the child grows up, he’ll have his own life, but what about the parents? Could it be that they have to stay together just for the sake of the child? A person’s life is very long, isn’t spending decades with someone they don’t like a waste of their own life? This is being irresponsible with one’s own life. What meaning is there in spending a lifetime facing someone you can’t communicate with and dislike? “
Ning Shu: ...
It made a lot of sense. Ning Shu found that she had no way to refute this, but the root of the problem was that Zhu Yanqiu didn’t even acknowledge his wife and son. He only knew to exploit Zhu Suniang. Even if he wanted to separate from her, he should still compensate Zhu Suniang, otherwise everyone should give up dreaming of having a good life.
You two flirted sweetly and were lovey-dovey, then in the end made great accomplishments and stood at the top of the pyramid to enjoy people’s reverence. Meanwhile, what did Zhu Suniang ever get for her sacrifices?
There was nothing in the world that a person justly deserved, so why did Zhu Yanqiu believe that it was only right for Zhu Suniang to sacrifice herself for him? He didn’t even say a thank you and on top of that, he even looked down on Zhu Suniang.
Since that was the case, he should have just kept his belt tight back then.
Zhu Yanqiu was simply a willful young master.
