Ning Shu looked over her collection of halos. They didn’t seem very useful so she asked 2333, “What exactly do the halos do?”
2333 explained, “Anyone who gave you a blessing had faith in you, so they increase your faith power.”
So halos generated faith points.
Ning Shu settled down on the sofa and said, “Let’s see what happened after Chen Ermei went back.”
“Alright.”
A screen showing Chen Li and Chen Ermei appeared in front of Ning Shu.
Chen Ermei was reading a book while examining herbs. At her side, Chen Li asked, “Little Sister, you have so many men hoping that you’ll choose them. You’re not young anymore and our parents are getting anxious. Which one do you fancy? Your brother will fetch him for you.”
But she didn’t care. “Which men? The men that want to use me to gain wealth and glory but for whom the thought of marrying me hurts their male ego? Those men always have this long-suffering expression that’s annoying to see.”
Chen Li nodded helplessly. “Your halo does overwhelm men.”
The generals all fought over Chen Ermei whenever she entered the battlefield, especially now that her medical skills were even better than before. Yet there were no men who wanted her as a wife.
“You mean the incompetent men who still judge me for being capable?” Chen Ermei sniffed the herbs. “They want to use me for their own gain but also want me to be gentle and lack ambition so their egos will be satisfied.”
“You’ll be an old maid if you don’t get married soon. Do you want gossip following you everywhere you go?” Chen Li asked.
“Mavericks will always be criticized. Men resent a woman of merit like me. And women are jealous that I determined my own fate and they couldn’t, so they vilify and attack me because of the bitterness in their own hearts,” Chen Ermei said, unconcerned.
Chen Li: …
There was nothing he could say to refute that.
Chen Ermei was satisfied with her current life. After being tormented to death by Li Dogzi, she didn’t want a husband: no matter how good a man seemed.
Some things were just deeply rooted in the hearts of men.
Chen Li was speechless. He took out a portrait, unfolded it, and said, “Look here! It’s the son of the Minister of Justice, a talented man who’s well-renowned across the city.”
Chen Ermei eyed the portrait. After a moment’s thought, she nodded. “I think I’ve seen him before. At a banquet.”
Chen Li’s eyes lit up. “What did you think?”
“Oh, he called me a shrew in public. Apparently I’m a female devil with bloodstained hands and whoever marries me is a sinner,” Chen Ermei said.
