CHAPTER 167 (2): RIDICULOUS ANCESTRAL TEACHINGS
When Su Xi-er followed the woman’s gaze, her eyelids couldn’t help but twitch . Pei Qianhao is the rascal this lady is referring to?
Aware of Su Xi-er's attention on him, a glimpse of displeasure flickered in Pei Qianhao's eyes . "What are you looking at? Isn’t it all because of you?" His words were tainted with hints of irritation and fury .
Su Xi-er was puzzled . Seeing that woman’s body and provoking her- how is any of that my fault? It’s not like I told him to do it .
Mei Jinxiu swiftly descended the stairs with a murderous intent in his eyes . She glared at Su Xi-er before she spoke with an air of arrogance . "I am Mei Jinxiu, the sole daughter of the Mei Family . You must have heard of the Mei Family, right? According to our ancestral teachings, whoever sees the body of one of our women must marry them . I don't care what your relationship with this man is; immediately scram!"
Her attitude was extremely arrogant, but not like Pei Qianhao’s . Instead of instilling others with fear and respect, her attitude only made others want to talk back to her .
Hence, Su Xi-er retorted promptly . "Mei Family? I have not heard of them . However, I do think that this ancestral teaching of yours is ridiculous . If I were to see all of you, are you going to make me marry you too?"
Actually, Su Xi-er did know about the Mei Family . They were a line of physicians, and had produced many miracle doctors over the years . Unfortunately, they had a lack of descendants . With the current generation consisting only of Mei Jinxiu, she was forced to run all the medicine shops on her own . Just based on the sheer number of medicine stores the Mei Family managed, this was no mean feat . This wasn’t even considering the fact that very few women held such responsibilities in the first place .
Though they may not be extremely influential in Nanzhao’s capital, the Mei Family had some status in nearly every other county .
After hearing Su Xi-er’s explanation, Mei Jinxiu was red with fury . What nonsense, she actually used the loopholes in my words . In her anger, she raised her voice even higher, "When a man sees the body of woman in my Mei Family, he will have to marry her . Who said anything about women . Anyway, the man beside you is mine!"
