A scandal has erupted! Su Yao, the legitimate eldest daughter of the magistrate of Qinghe County, has been rejected by the Chen family of the prefectural city!
When the news spread, some said she was cursed with bad luck, while others claimed her reputation was ruined. Her stepmother was positively beaming: at last, she could marry Su Yao off to just anyone and be rid of her.
But Su Yao neither cried nor made a fuss. She simply said, “I’m the one who called off the engagement.”
After the engagement ended, she helped a widow reclaim her shop, cleared the name of a wrongfully executed farmer’s wife, rescued a kidnapped girl, and delivered a petition to the provincial surveillance commission.
She thought that was how she would spend the rest of her life: helping people, growing flowers, and living alone.
Until a gray-robed traveling physician stepped into her courtyard, took a blow meant for her, and told her, “Su Yao, you’re the best person I’ve ever met.”
Only later did she learn that he wasn’t a traveling physician at all.
He was the heir to the Jing’an Marquis household, burdened with a blood feud, and powerful men at court wanted him dead.
He asked her, “Su Yao, will you come back to the capital with me?”
She said, “All right.”
Later, she became the most influential marquise in the capital. The Empress Dowager arranged a marriage for her, the Emperor summoned her to court, and her name was written into the history books.
But what she was proudest of was never her title as a marquise.
It was the daylilies she planted, which helped thousands upon thousands of women who had nowhere else to turn.
A woman’s path is narrow, but she walked that narrow path until it became the widest road of all.
Smart women! Justice is on the line in each case, and the case can be solved! Guide your father to the right path!
The novel is very interesting, but there are always repetitions.
