Su Juan recalled Li Ruohua. Because she wasn't really a child, she remembered everything about Li Ruohua, who often taught her, a girl of only a few years, that women are not weak and can do what men do.
Even in her dying words to her, she instructed her to be a carefree and happy person, not to be trapped by rigid dogma for a lifetime.
Li Ruohua, unlike Madam Su, who carefully calculated for Su Lingling, lived proudly and did not want to bow down, always wanting to live a different life. On closer thought, her character was truly like the Old Emperor's and very much like the Empress's.
If she had been born in the Imperial City, it would have been a different story.
Su Juan sighed, lamenting that fate plays tricks on people...
