Doted By The Regent King-Chapter 1375 - 1373: Harming Others

On the way to the Guan Mansion, Wufu listened to Jadeite talking about the opera "The Tale of Gentleman Over the Wall" that had been inquired about, wondering what kind of story it actually was.

This opera was said to have been personally written by someone called Lian Chuner, telling the story of two lovers meeting on a spring day on a wall where peach blossoms were planted. As the petals fluttered, the two were instantly smitten, becoming inseparable and in love ever since. Then the man was to marry, but the bride was not the one he loved; the lover’s heart was torn apart, and in the end, they died from heartbreak and melancholy, leaving the man in sorrow...

In short, it is a so-called love story full of entanglement and sorrow, winning the tears of many ladies in their chambers, blaming the man’s family for beating the mandarin ducks apart and the bride’s family for stealing the beloved, having the person but not the heart, and so on.

"What a mess!" Wufu’s face darkened.

She came from future generations, with no prejudice against homosexuality; on the contrary, she viewed it with an open mind. But the premise is, it’s fine if you pursue such a relationship, but you can’t shamelessly harm innocent women.

Xu Huazhang has someone in his heart, yet he still plans to be engaged to the unsuspecting Guan Chuying, and that’s harming her.

With others, Wufu might not intervene, but Guan Chuying is a good woman who deserves to marry a man she truly likes and be happy for a lifetime, not being deceived and living in muddle.

Just imagine if Guan Chuying were to really marry Xu Huazhang, but cannot win his affection, or even his attention, what would her life become?

The in-laws would blame her for not being able to keep her husband’s heart. Over time, they might even blame her for not being able to bear children, which to a woman, is the most humiliating and painful experience.

Most terrifyingly, with her husband’s heart not on her, she wouldn’t even know if her rival was a man or a woman, probably overthinking and spiraling into despair, leading to a sorrowful end.

What made Wufu even angrier was that Xu Huazhang’s affair with a performer seemed to be known to the Xu family, yet they still planned to marry into the Guan family. Wasn’t this bringing harm to other people’s good daughters?

Wufu couldn’t stand it!

"Faster!" she said angrily.

Outside, Mei Shi cracked the whip, and the speed increased. An hour later, Wufu arrived at the side gate of the Guan family. Mo Lan went forward to present the invitation card, and after a short wait, a maid came to welcome them inside.

"Is your young mistress home?" Wufu asked the maid leading the way, who was the main maid beside Guan Chuying, Lan Cao.

Lan Cao smiled and replied, "She is. The young mistress is entertaining guests. Upon hearing of your arrival, she instructed me to come and fetch you."

"Do you have guests at your home?" Jadeite said, "Wouldn’t we be intruding?"

"Not at all. It’s Madam Xu and Young Master Xu who have come. The young mistress is meeting with them briefly and instructed me to take you to the Chu Pavilion; she’ll join you soon." Lan Cao beamed.

Wufu’s face darkened, "People from the Xu family? Are they here to discuss the engagement?"

Lan Cao nodded and said, "They came to exchange invitation cards and to discuss the ceremonial gifts. Ah, the young mistress is at the second gate."

Wufu looked over and saw a woman in a peach-colored robe standing at the door of the second gate. It was indeed Guan Chuying, and standing opposite her was a young man in a moon-white robe.

No one knew what the young man said, but Guan Chuying slightly lowered her head, appearing shy, like a bashful young girl.

"Is that Young Master Xu?" Wufu’s heart sank, and she quickly walked over, calling out, "Chuying."
