Xiao Ruiyuan didn't quite understand her thoughts, and seeing the regret in her brows, he couldn't help but comfort her, "Just because you can't now doesn't mean you can't in the future, even the day might come when women can enter the court and become officials."
"Mm." Mo Yan nodded with a smile, her eyes brimming with an indescribable sense of happiness. She was merely expressing a fleeting sentiment, aware that it was unrealistic for women to attend school, but she still felt warmed by the man's words.
Even though there was a significant gap in thinking between her and this man, at least he respected her. If it were another man hearing her words, he'd likely sneer and dismiss her with "A woman's virtue lies in her lack of talent," just like her father had, chuckling while telling her she was "talking nonsense" when she first voiced her complaints!
