She shows wisdom by not bothering with his comments, but by saying that beauty and nobility do not guarantee a happy and honorable marriage.
Explanation:
This question refers to "The Wife of Bath’s" Tale, which tells the story of a knight who, after eating a crime, is condemned to discover the greatest desire of women, or to be executed.
He travels around various places looking for someone who knows how to respond to the greatest desire of women, but finds no satisfactory answer. Until he meets a poor, ugly old woman whom he begs to tell him the biggest secret of women. The old woman says she will, if he promises that he will fulfill any wish of hers. He agrees and the old woman says that the greatest desire of women is to be in charge of their husbands and lovers. This answer is accepted and frees the knight from being executed.
As part of the agreement, the old woman asks the knight to fulfill her wish, which is that he marry her. He doesn't want to, but as he gave his word he married her and was in a sad and miserable state.
The old woman asks why her husband is so sad and melancholy and he says it is because she is ugly and marrying an ugly woman is extremely humiliating.
The old woman is neither offended nor angry, but she responds very wisely that beauty and nobility do not guarantee that a woman will honor her husband. She may be ugly and old, but she will respect her husband and never betray him, but a young and beautiful woman could behave differently.
The knight is very happy with her response and begins to think that the wedding was a good thing. He agrees with her and she turns into a beautiful woman, moreover, the marriage has become extremely happy for many years.
