Chapter 262: Struggle Between Reason and Emotion
She knew who the princess Gu Mo mo was talking about, and it was someone that Qin Luoyan didn't want to see, Xiao Changyue 。She looked awkwardly at the maidservant beside her. 。That little servant wa...When you don't love someone, they can do whatever they want and it doesn't matter to you. But once you put that person in your heart, you become sensitive and neurotic. It's like many newlywed couples, where a wife can't stand even the slightest bit of sand in her eye. Even if her husband glances at another woman, she gets angry and gives him the cold shoulder.
But what about ten years later When the feelings between two people slowly erode under the wear and tear of everyday life, what remains is more of a habit and dependence. At that point, even if the husband looks at other women or has physical relationships with them outside, one might eventually let it go.
Remember that star who once said, " cherish the moment." Marriage always goes through a journey from passion to plainness, and finally to accepting the most helpless side of life.
Qin Luoyan didn't expect that she, too, would become a little woman because of Fu Zimu. She knew that all her coquettishness, sensitivity, and cleanliness stemmed from her care for Fu Zimu.
The more she cared, the more contradictory her feelings became. She cared for him, so every time she thought of him entangled with that woman in bed, her whole heart felt hollow.
So, what gold whip, she really couldn't bring herself to make it.
Watching Zhou Li and Chen the blacksmith's expressions crumple in an instant, their eyes filled with profound disappointment upon hearing her refusal, Qin Luo Yan felt a pang of sympathy. However, she could only lower her head and slowly close the door.
"The lord said, if the mistress doesn't want to, no one can force her." Seeing the two still kneeling at the door, Jin Mu couldn't help but persuade.
"But..." Zhou Li gritted his teeth, unwilling to give up just like that.
"There's no other way, Your Highness's orders cannot be disobeyed in the slightest, you know that. Well, these matters of the master we as subordinates shouldn't interfere with." Jin Mu patted Zhou Li's shoulder reassuringly, wanting to pull him up.
Zhou Li's entire face was etched with disappointment. As a silversmith, he had endured countless hardships to achieve his current status. This was certainly due to his talent, but more importantly, it was the result of years of dedicated study. He had spent half his life researching weapons, and now that a legendary weapon was about to be created under his watchful eye, it was being abandoned just like that. How could he possibly accept this
Suddenly, Zhou Li violently swatted away Jin Mu's hand and slammed his head against the tightly shut door, roaring out, "Side Princess! I don't know what reason has made you unhappy, but as a craftsman, shouldn't putting weapon manufacturing first be your priority You are a woman, at first, I Zhou Li also saw through you, ignored you, until later you proved with your actions that you are different from other women. You even proved that women can do what we men can do! But now, because of your own mood, you abandon this metal whip... This… makes me look down on you! I, Zhou Li, am not someone extraordinary, but at least I have my own principles. If you're just such a craftsman, then you might as well go back home and embroider! I, Zhou Li, look down on you!"
Zhou Li's head bumped against the door frame, his forehead split open, blood gushing out. Blood flowed into his eye socket, and when he raised his hand to wipe it away, he only ended up smearing blood across half his face, making his expression look ferocious.
Jin Mu was shocked. He knew Qin Luo Yan's status in Fu Zi Mo's heart, and Zhou Li was one of the craftsmen he admired. So he rushed forward without hesitation to cover Zhou Li's mouth.
But as soon as he covered Zhou Li's mouth, Chen the blacksmith beside him also roared, "Bah! I told you she's just a woman, what use is she making weapons She should just stay home with the children and embroider. You kept saying she was different, what's so different about her She's just a woman acting impulsively!"
Jin Mu really wished he could kick these two ignorant people, “You two shut up! Are you trying to get yourselves killed That's the concubine princess, not some ordinary woman from a common family. She is the Wangye's woman, your mistress!”
“Isn’t it just a life If the Prince wants it, just take it. After all, we are both subordinates of the Prince. If the Prince wants our lives, we won't even frown!” Chen the blacksmith roared loudly, his voice booming without any attempt to hide it.
Such a roar could be heard by everyone in the yard.
Jin Mu let out a sigh inwardly, finally slowly releasing his hand that covered Zhou Li's mouth. It was no use since everyone had heard anyway, so he might as well make the best of a bad situation.
In the room, Qin Luoyan sat on the soft couch by the bed, lowering her head to stare at her own toes. The embroidery shoes were adorned with intricate designs painstakingly stitched over several months by embroiderers. Only women could create such exquisite patterns. However, who could have imagined that these embroiderers were also forbidden from leaving their homes while they worked Even though they produced these delicate works of art, in the eyes of their husbands and families, they were nothing but beneath notice. All because they were women, they were forever bound to men, existing solely as appendages to them.
Yes, all she has left is weapon manufacturing. Over the past year, she has gone through too much and had no time to do what she wanted. Now that there is such a good opportunity in front of her, she refuses it because of her own sentimental mood...
Is she making a metal whip for Fu Zimu
She asked herself over and over again, and finally came to an answer: she wasn't doing these things for him. She was doing them to prove her own worth, to prove the worth of women.
She slowly raised her head and looked towards the door. The door was shut tight, so she couldn't see Zhou Li and Master Chen outside. However, from the sound of the recent commotion and banging on the door, she could guess what state the two were in now.
Finally, a faint smile tugged at the corner of her lips, then she walked slowly to the door. The moment she opened it, she saw Zhou Li covered in blood.
For her sudden appearance, Zhou Li and Chen the blacksmith both froze. Both stopped talking and stared at her blankly.
"What are you still doing Hurry up and kowtow and apologize!" Kimu kicked Zhou Li's knee with frustration, causing him to kneel before Qin Luoyan instantly. Then he said to Qin Luoyan, "Madam, these two are just rough people, they don't think before they speak. You are magnanimous, please show mercy."
Upon hearing this, Chen the Blacksmith quickly knelt down as well. "Your Grace, what I said was true, I stand by my words! If Your Grace feels uncomfortable, kill me, and I won't say a word!"
