The wives of the capital officials saw Jian Ruonan lower her head slightly, her eyes wide. Clearly, she had stumbled upon some earth-shattering gossip.
Well-bred as they were, the ladies waited obediently for the gossip.
[This Madam Gao has a fetish for old men!!!]
High-cheekboned Madam Zhang: "..."
The capital officials' wives: !!
An old-man fart?
What did that mean?
She liked the farts old people let out?
[High-cheekboned Madam Zhang is thirty this year, yet she's fallen for an ancestor fifty-five years older than her!]
[She volunteered to look after the ancestor, even arguing until her face turned red and coming to blows with others over the job. She does everything herself. It looks like filial devotion, but she's actually lusting after the ancestor's body!]
[Every time she washes the Li Family's Ancestor, she takes the opportunity to grope him all over!]
[The poor ancestor is eighty-five, and he still has to face harassment from his great-grandson's wife!]
[Since the ancestor became paralyzed and lost his ability to speak, she often arranges him on the bed in the shape of the character "太"-limbs spread, with that extra stroke between his legs!]
[He suffers but can't speak of it. He suffers but can't speak of it!]
The capital officials' wives: The character "太"-what literary flair the Fifth Miss had!!
[Who could have imagined someone would use filial devotion as a cover for such despicable, shameless, utterly depraved acts?!!]
[Pah, ptui!]
The capital officials' wives: Bullying an old man who couldn't speak-disgraceful! Shameless!
How was this filial devotion? It was grossly unfilial! In their Great Xia, this was grounds for arrest and a public parade through the streets!
And she had received a commendation? Her filial devotion had moved heaven?!
The southwest was doomed, sooner or later!
The high-cheekboned madam: "..."
