Chapter 703: Chapter 0703: Offense as Defense 4_1

This matter was well known to Feng Qingxue who had read history books, and it was also clear to Jiang Xiaoyue who lived in the big courtyard; she anxiously hastened to say in a low voice, "Bai Xue, you mustn’t discuss such matters. These are not topics we can debate about. Be careful, walls have ears!"

Innumerable couples were formed for a revolutionary cause during the resistance war; there was more than one Su Junshu who followed the example of the behavior of higher rank officials.

Hence, everybody was aware and understood this matter but couldn’t voice it out.

Yes, indeed. Jiang Xiaoyue pitied those original spouses who were left behind in their hometowns, living or dead, but what could she do? Her mother hadn’t even conceived her at that time. Now, when she has grown up, she can’t say or do anything about this. Even her father, who abhors evil so deeply, doesn’t allow her to comment on this matter in private, for fear of incurring resentment from others.

Bai Xue immediately covered her own mouth, her face and her eyes revealing a touch of panic. It took her a while to recover and act normally.

"I know. I understand what should be said and what should not be said. I’ve suffered a lot already; I cannot give people any more leverage over me! They’re too overbearing, and I can’t stand it! Yes, I know, I wanted to tie my fate to someone influential and powerful, someone young, handsome, and with promising prospects. I wanted to marry such a cadre because an ordinary person might not be able to protect me. I don’t feel ashamed of this. But I didn’t seduce those young masters in the big courtyard; I didn’t flirt with them. Whether they pursue me or flatter me or even harass me, it’s all their doing. I couldn’t force them to pursue me, flatter me or harass me!"

These words, however, did carry some truth.

But regardless, no matter the way Bai Xue defended herself, this could not justify her longing for an advantageous marriage or the disruption of someone else’s marriage. Therefore, Feng Qingxue would never forgive her for coveting Lu Jiang in the past.

Jiang Xiaoyue felt somewhat sorry for Bai Xue. Being a beauty was a potential transgression for a woman. Ironically, society won’t blame the men, but often sees beautiful women as siren-like troublemakers. Hence, she curiously asked, "Bai Xue, now that you understand the situation, what are your plans? They are powerful and influential figures, they’re your uncles-in-law, your in-laws are all in the main hall, and General Su is away on border defense duty. You are alone and hard-pressed. Also, you have to take care of his twin sons."

A hint of ruthlessness flashed in Bai Xue’s eyes, "If I don’t avenge this insult, I’ll cease to be human! If a family is unified, it can’t be broken from outside. But if it’s not unified inside, that’s another story! They have dimmed my marriage, my life from hereon. There’s no hope left; I won’t let them live in peace. Su Junshu’s parents followed suit and moved to the city after the founding of the People’s Republic and are living a lifestyle most citizens can’t even dream of. Only the original wife left in the hometown is living a life of hardship. It’s time for her to go to Beijing and seek help."

Isn’t Liu Hongxiu the one who called Su Junlin? She should add to Liu Hongxiu’s troubles. Let those unaware of the truth know she stole another’s husband to enjoy today’s glory. She is not the original wife!

She simply does not believe that in such a situation, General Xu will still marry his daughter to Su Chang.

If it’s not made public, General Xu may turn a blind eye. But once it’s out, and everyone knows, their reputation will be affected. If General Xu still marries his daughter to Su Chang, both he and Xiu Jiaojiao will become a laughingstock.

The revengeful Bai Xue did not wish to stay for a meal. She took out all the things she brought, picked up the empty bamboo basket and left.
