Yunxi's words left everyone in silence.
"As a man, he is certainly not as attentive as our Daughter. Moreover, the one who gave him the Agarwood Bracelet could very well be that person. It is normal for him not to question or doubt. Could it be that the lady wants her husband to harbor suspicion towards his own Mother, his lifesaver?"
"A wife, in her husband's heart, ultimately cannot compare to his Mother. Even if the wife is the one who accompanies him throughout his life, sharing both glory and disgrace, living and dying together." Yunxi sighed, her gaze fixed on Xing Ruyi's eyes. "You are also a woman; do you not feel that this world is unfair? A woman can abandon her parents, her home, and everything she has just to be with her husband, yet men often betray the deep feelings of women. Both were born of their parents, nurtured for ten months, raised with care; why should a woman be treated poorly once she marries into her husband's family?
His Mother is his Mother; she gave him life and raised him with love. Is it that a wife just springs from a stone and grows up on her own? Yunxi is unfortunate; she has yet to bear a child. But for ordinary women, after marriage, who does not give birth and raise children? Who will not eventually become a Mother?
His Mother had it hard; that was caused by his Father. But his wife has it hard because of him. Even if he cannot always protect or cherish his wife, knowing that his Mother dislikes her and even harbors malicious intent, can he not think a little more and consider his wife's feelings?"
"Sigh!" Xing Ruyi sighed deeply. "Although there is a saying that the Fox Demon dislikes greatly, it precisely reflects the mindset of most men. That is, a wife is like clothing. Women are emotional; for the one they love, they can abandon everything, even their own lives. But for most men, wives can be replaced. If they can marry the one they love, that's wonderful; but if not, any random woman can become their wife and bear their children.
However, there are always exceptions. The Fox Demon refers only to most men; there are also a few who can honor their parents while protecting their wives and children. So madam, you need not be overly pessimistic. Regarding this Agarwood Bracelet matter, it would be best to wait until your husband returns to ask in detail. Do not let misunderstandings affect the feelings between you two. At least before passing judgment in your heart, you should give him a chance to explain himself."
"Ruyi..."
"If you still cannot understand, perhaps you should ask yourself: if the truth is not as we speculate, what would you choose? If the truth aligns with Madam Ru's speculation, what would you choose then? In the Golden Tang Dynasty, while there are no restrictions on women's marriages and women can propose divorce to men, ask yourself if you would write such a divorce letter."
"I..."
"You need not rush to answer because the one needing an answer is not the Fox Demon, nor Xuan, nor anyone else in this world; it is you yourself. There is still time before Young Master Luo returns home; during these days, allow yourself to calm down and think carefully. As for the medicine for your condition, you must take it. Regardless of what happens between you and the Luo Family in the future or whether this child should be kept or not, your body ultimately belongs to you."
"Ruyi is right! Even if the Luo Family treats you poorly, we can always return to the Yun Family. But your body belongs to you; even if you do not care about it, our Yun Family's Master and Madam still care about you. In this world, it's not just Young Masters who have parents; you also have your own parents who raised you with love."
Xuan's words suddenly awakened Yunxi. Yes, her body was given to her by her parents; if she were to suffer harm, it would likely be only her aging parents who would grieve and shed tears for her.
"Xuan."
"Xuan is here!"
"Take the medicine and pay the double silver coins. Let's head back to the residence."
"Ruyi, thank you very much today." Yunxi said, bowing slightly, "In the future, I will surely trouble you more often, so please don't mind my inconveniences."
"Madam is being too polite! Your visit to Ruyi Cosmetic Shop shows that you trust the Fox Demon. The Fox Demon will certainly do everything possible to help your husband with his illness. Please take care on your way back; there are many chores in this shop, so I won't see you off."
"Please stay, the road to Ruo Mansion isn't long; we will arrive after a short walk."
Yunxi turned and exited through the main gate of Xing. That silhouette appeared quite lonely.
"Fox, should I have said those words?"
The Fox appeared, standing beside Xing Ruyi.
"If the truth isn't revealed, Lady Luo can still enjoy a few peaceful days. While feeling anxious inside, she can also find some comfort for herself. But the truth is the truth; even if you don't reveal it today, Lady Luo will inevitably find out in the future. By then, her suffering will only increase, not decrease. While there's still a chance to salvage things and while she can think clearly, it's not a bad thing for her."
"I know that the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law issue is one of the biggest problems in the world. Before meeting you, I never thought about it because I subconsciously believed I wouldn't meet someone I could marry."
"And afterward?"
The Fox looked down at Xing Ruyi with deep eyes and a serious expression.
"And afterward? After meeting you, knowing that you are a male fox spirit who has cultivated for a thousand years, knowing that you were driven out of your home by your subordinates, knowing that your father and Mother Empress are no longer in this world like my parents, I naturally stopped considering the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law problem. But now, I feel it's time for me to think about it."
Xing Ruyi looked back into the Fox's eyes: "During our trip to Qingqiu, your anxiety wasn't just about my illness; you were also considering how long we could be together in the future and your husband and Mother Empress, right?"
“Fox Demon——”
“It’s also my fault for being careless; I didn’t think about it before. After more than a thousand years, your Father and mother ascended to the heavens due to their tribulation, and the biggest obstacle between us is the difference between humans and demons, making it impossible for us to be close or stay together. But clearly, the old master couldn’t stand that an ordinary mortal woman like me has gained your favor as the retired Azure Fox Emperor. Out of anger, he stomped his foot and threw us into this Golden Tang Dynasty. At this moment, your Father and mother should still be safe, right?”
“Things aren’t as bad as you think. What worries me isn’t the issue you just mentioned. Fox Demon, Qingqiu is ultimately different from the mortal realm. Even if my Father and mother were still around, they wouldn’t make things difficult for me regarding my marriage. You must understand that in their eyes, even if we have some connection, it’s merely a part of my Azure Wind Nine-Tailed Clan’s experience in the mortal world—a Emotional Tribulation.”
Xing Ruyi blinked her eyes and then tapped her head: “Oh! If you hadn’t said that, I would have really gotten stuck in that dilemma. Also, my mere few decades of life are just a tiny fraction of your long cultivation process; your Father and mother probably wouldn’t pay much attention to it. Stinky Fox, do you know that because I was worried about this, I haven’t slept well for two nights?”
“I know!”
“Then why didn’t you tell me earlier?”
Xing Ruyi put her hands on her hips, looking fierce.
“Because when my future Wife starts considering Mother-in-law and Daughter-in-law issues instead of just wanting to eat me up, I know she truly wants to marry me and isn’t just after my looks.”
The expression on the fox's face at that moment was, in Xing Ruyi’s words, quite punchable. So she didn’t hold back and swung her delicate fist at him.
In the kitchen, the Deer Lady finally lifted her face and looked directly at the Old Beggar.
“Will Madam Luo’s illness get better?”
“Deer, you… you finally want to talk to me?”
The Old Beggar looked both surprised and nervous, his hands rubbing together like a young man who had just fallen in love, his words coming out stammeringly.
“I don’t want to talk to a liar like you; I’m worried about our shopkeeper. If because of your previous meddling, the shopkeeper’s medicine doesn’t work in time and damages our Ruyi Rouge shop’s reputation, just watch how I’ll skin you alive, make you into soup, and water the flowers and plants in my backyard.”
"With just these two taels of meat on me, there won't be much broth to make. Don't worry, as long as I'm here, I won't let anyone ruin the reputation of the Ruyi Rouge shop. Within a month, this Young Lady of the Luo family will be free of illness and successfully conceive a child."
"A month?"
"Deer, it will take at least a month!" The Old Beggar awkwardly held up a finger. "You know that Young Master Luo Ping has gone to deliver his sister to her husband. The moment the husband leaves, unexpectedly, Lady Luo becomes pregnant. Isn't this just causing trouble for the Fox Demon?"
The Deer Lady found the Old Beggar's reasoning valid but didn't want to admit it in front of him. She merely snorted coldly and brought out the freshly made braised pork.
"Braised pork, Old Beggar's favorite." The Old Beggar grinned upon seeing the meat and reached out to grab the plate. "I knew you were just pretending to be angry with me; deep down, you still care about me."
The Deer Lady swatted the Old Beggar's hand aside. "Who would care about an old thing like you? Just go wherever it's cool."
With that, she called over Yin Yuan, who was watching a pair of parents playfully bicker, to come eat some meat.
The Old Beggar felt a bit jealous and rubbed his nose, muttering to himself, "At least my parents died early; you won't have to deal with those common Mother-in-law and Daughter-in-law problems after being with me."
Yin Yuan chuckled and leaned closer to the Old Beggar, asking, "So how did Lord Dragon God die? It wouldn't be because of you unruly children driving him to death, would it?"
The Old Beggar shot Yin Yuan a sideways glance and asked seriously, "How do you know that?"
Yin Yuan was taken aback, nearly choking on a piece of braised pork lodged in his throat.
