094 “Zhao’s Daughter [NP]” Chapter 93

Chapter 93 Confrontation

I saw Zhao Shuyu picking up the tea cup in front of her, lowering her head and blowing on it, and said slowly and quickly: “There is a Taoist saying that Tao gives birth to one, one gives birth to two, two gives birth to three, and three gives birth to all things. Cousin, have you ever heard of it?”

Gao Xiheng glanced at her coldly, “Who hasn’t read the Tao Te Ching?”

Zhao Shuyu asked again, “Then do you know what is the meaning of one life, two, and two, three?”

Gao Xiheng narrowed his eyes, “Tao starts from one, and one does not give birth to anything. Therefore, it is divided into yin and yang. Yin and yang are balanced, and when they are combined, all things are born.”

Zhao Shuyu nodded when she heard this, “It is true that Yin alone does not give birth, and Yang alone does not grow. Therefore, all things are created by Yin and Yang. How can there be a saying that Yang is noble and Yin is inferior?”

Hearing this, Gao Xiheng frowned, “Have I ever said that Yang is noble and Yin is humble?”

Zhao Shuyu snorted mockingly, “Since ancient times, yin and yang have meant women and men. If my cousin slept with Chuntao last night, today I would be scolded by my aunt for a few words. If you like it, you can take her into the room. But Chuntao is a woman and is not favored by my cousin. She will definitely end up being betrayed today. Why doesn’t my cousin want to give Chuntao a chance? Just because she is a woman? So why can’t we just laugh it off like a man?”

Zhao Shuyu finished speaking in one breath. Seeing Gao Xiheng’s confused expression, she continued: “So, isn’t this the case that Yang is noble and Yin is humble?”

What a eloquent and informative guide.

Zhao Shuyu used the theory of yin and yang balance in the Tao Te Ching to forcefully get Gao Xiheng in.

Gao Xiheng looked stunned and pointed at Zhao Shuyu, “You, you are just talking nonsense!”

Zhao Shuyu said without mercy: “Did I make up the Tao Te Ching randomly?”

Gao Xiheng was choked up immediately, slapped the table and shouted angrily, “A lowly maid deserves to be compared to this young master!”

Zhao Shuyu glanced at him and said, “Is she not a woman and you are not a man?”

Gao Xiheng’s face was suddenly distorted with anger. If Zhao Xifan hadn’t been there, he would have stepped forward and had a fight with Zhao Shuyu.

Just when these two people were facing each other, neither one giving in to the other, suddenly an angry voice came from outside the house——

“Heng’er, don’t be rude!”

As soon as these majestic words rang out, the two people in the room suddenly became quiet.

The three of them looked outside and saw that it was Mr. Dong who had arrived in person, so they immediately stood up and saluted.

After Zhao Xifan and Zhao Shuyu asked Dong Shi how they were, Gao Xiheng also called “mother” with a stern face.

However, in front of Zhao Xifan and Zhao Shuyu, Mrs. Dong scolded Gao Xiheng for being drunk and ridiculous yesterday. During this period, she also hit him several times to explain herself. After a good scolding, she took him away.

Before leaving, he told the Zhao brothers and sisters very gently that they could handle the Zhao family’s household affairs by themselves.

As soon as Mrs. Dong twisted Gao Xiheng away, the courtyard suddenly became quiet.

This made Zhao Shuyu a little confused and asked Zhao Xifan, “Third brother, my aunt is a powerful person, why are you so talkative today?”

Zhao Xifan glanced at Zhao Shuyu and smiled enigmatically, “I just have other ideas and plans.”

There was something mysterious about this, and Zhao Shuyu didn’t understand it.

She was too lazy to think about things related to Gao Xiheng, so she asked Zhao Xifan for the right to deal with Chuntao, and then turned around and went to the woodshed.

In the twelfth lunar month of winter, Chuntao spent the night in a woodshed with thin clothes, and she was already freezing.

When she saw the Fourth Miss coming, she didn’t know what she meant. Chuntao huddled in the corner, looking at Zhao Shuyu carefully, not daring to speak.
