Chapter 269: Principles

“Then Madame Liu proposed a divorce with Liu Zongyuan.” Zhou Huaijin said. He sounded quite impressed by this Madame Liu.

Gu Chaoyan understood that it was very difficult for a woman to propose a divorce in that era. That was probably why Zhou Huaijin admired that woman.

“But Liu Zongyuan could not afford to continue with the divorce, so he turned that proposal down. He was an officer so Madame Liu could do nothing if he rejected. Since Madame Liu and the Jiang Family are distant relatives, she begged to come to the Jiang Mansion. When Madame Jiang heard about what happened to Madame Liu, she decided to help her,” Zhou Huaijin said. “The law says that concubines are allowed, but only one legal wife is allowed.”

“…”

“However, some people want to have several legal wives and their first legal wife will just pass it on since their husbands are in power.”

“…”

“Madame Liu was different. She did not want her and her daughter to be bullied in the mansion, so she spared no efforts to continue with the divorce. Now she has established an individual household in the capital and with the help of the Jiang Family, she is running a small clinic in the capital where she is treating commoners. She may not live a very luxurious life as she used to at the Liu Mansion, but she is doing very well. At least, she is able to help her daughter against the enemies inside the mansion.”

“…”

“You can befriend Li Yuanxiang. She is quite honest, so just help her if you can.” Zhou Huaijin said.

It was not easy for a woman to live a single life with her daughter.

If she was able to make it into the Medical Department at Saint College, she would be able to work for the imperial hospital, then she would get established on her own and her mother would not be looked down upon by anyone from the Liu Family.

Gu Chaoyan nodded. After hearing what Zhou Huaijin said, she felt that this man was nicer than she expected.

In this era, what Li Yuanxiang did would normally get looked down by the public, but Zhou Huaijin supported them totally instead of judging them for that.

She could totally understand why Li Yuanxiang’s mother would do something like that.

Liu Hanxiang had tried to set up Li Yuanxiang a while ago, so Li Yuanxiang must have been quite worried all the while back at her own mansion.

The original host of her body was the sacrifice of the rivalry in the mansions, wasn’t she?

Li Yuanxiang was, relatively speaking, lucky

“Don’t worry, she and I are friends.” Gu Chaoyan said.

Zhou Huaijin smiled.

Instead of saying anything more about Li Yuanxiang, he started to worry about what County Princess Anxi might do after getting humiliated here. The Reigning Queen could do nothing about Ming Yue, but she might blame it upon Yan. So he decided not to go anywhere during this period, but guarded her instead.

However, Zhou Huaijin still said to her, “County Princess Anxi has been driven out of Saint College, and Queen Mother might have some negative opinions against you. I will stand by your side, but you have to watch out for this matter too.”

“Okay.” Gu Chaoyan nodded.

She was pretty aware of this matter. County Princess Anxi was well defended by someone with power. Since she did not give up her own principles just because of her low-class social status, that basically meant that she was going to fear nothing in the future.

Zhou Huaijin gave her a tour after their talk, then he pointed at one spot and said, “Look over there.”
