Black Lotus Concubine's Case-solving Notes

To prove the innocence of women all over the world and find a way out?

Princess Nancheng was deeply shocked, and unconsciously turned her head to look at Xie Lanzhao who was kneeling on the ground. Under the candlelight, that person had his back straight, fearless of worldly gazes, and just knelt there openly with a firm look in his eyes, as if nothing could defeat her.

The world is in a fog, and she is the only one holding a cold knife, trying to split the unfair world for this couple of women.

Princess Nancheng felt a burning sensation in her heart. She didn't know why, but this scene reminded her of someone.

The Dali Temple Junior Chancellor, Feng Jia, who was famous in the capital at that time.

She once braved the wrath of the world and spoke so passionately to those in power in the Mingtang of Dali.

"Because I am a woman, I can better understand the injustice of the world towards women and know the difficulties women face."

"Most women cannot escape the four corners of the house throughout their lives. They are taught from childhood that before marriage, they are to follow their fathers and brothers, and after marriage, they are to follow their husbands. They live in a daze all day long, like puppets."

"But apart from this body, how are we different from men?"

"Why can men go to school but women can't? Why can men become officials and be made ministers but women can only fight in the backyard and waste their time?"

"Life is only a few decades long, and it passes in the blink of an eye. Today, Feng Jia will blaze a different trail for all women in the world! This road is difficult and full of thorns. Even if I get hurt and die, I will have no regrets!"

"Although there are thousands of people, I am going!"

And she did it.

She ranked first in the civil service examination and was appointed as the Junior Chancellor of the Dali Temple, becoming the first female civil servant since the founding of the Dali Dynasty. She really opened up a different path for women. From then on, women could go to school or private schools like men, and women could also take imperial examinations, be granted titles and become prime ministers like men!

And what is the difference between what Xie Lanzhao does today and what Feng Jia did back then? What qualifications does she have to object?

"Okay!" Princess Nancheng waved her sleeves.

One of the noble ladies said, "Miss Nine is so confident that she must be innocent. It would be bad to have her body examined on the spot, so why not just let it go?"

"Yes, yes!" The other ninjas also echoed.

The eldest lady wiped away the tears from her eyes and said, "I think we should listen to Zhao'er. It is my duty as her mother to fulfill her wish. Aunt Mei, take Zhao'er down for a test. If she is innocent, we will serve as witnesses if there are any rumors in the capital."

Meng sneered in her heart, thinking that Xie Lanzhao's play was just a trick to survive in a desperate situation. She thought that she could shock everyone by asking for a body examination on the spot, but she would not let her do so!

Deep down, Meng still didn't believe that the other party could escape from the jaws of death unscathed.

Nanny Mei stepped forward and wanted to take Feng Jia to the back hall.

"Wait a minute." Feng Jia said.

"What? Are you scared? Didn't you just brazenly say you wanted to be the first woman to do this?" Xie Changrong sneered, "So those were just bluffs. Otherwise, why would you be so scared of the test?"

The lady from a noble family, who originally still had some reluctance in her heart, began to look at Feng Jia with suspicion after hearing what Xie Changrong said.

"Who said I was afraid? I just didn't trust my mother."

When these words were spoken, everyone was in an uproar. Meng's face turned blue and white, and her eyes were like knives, as if she wanted to cut Feng Jia in half on the spot.

Feng Jia ignored everyone and just turned around and bowed to the Princess of Nancheng: "The Princess is the most fair, and I trust her the most."

"Flatterer!" Xie Changrong spat angrily.

Princess Nancheng smiled, and then said to the nanny beside her: "In that case, you can go with the nanny of the eldest lady to check, so that you can supervise each other."

Two maids took Feng Jia downstairs. About a quarter of an hour later, Princess Nancheng's governess nanny hurried out and whispered something in her master's ear. Princess Nancheng's face changed and she was supported by the maid into the back hall.

Everyone looked at each other, not knowing why.

In the back hall, several maids were holding cloth to make a temporary shelter. Feng Jia was wearing a loose dress with no expression on her face. Aunt Mei beside the eldest lady was stunned and didn't know what to do.

There were footsteps, and then clear conversation.

"The Ninth Miss has been through the experience, and is indeed still a perfect woman."

"It's just...it's just...Oh! Princess, you will know if you go and see it yourself!"

Princess Nancheng walked in with a frown on her face, and was stunned the moment she saw Feng Jia's body.

There was an arrow wound on her chest with a fresh purple scab, located close to her heart, where an arrow had pierced through her. From the scar, Princess Nancheng could see how dangerous it was that day.

"you……"

When Feng Jia saw Princess Nancheng coming, he immediately knelt down.

Nancheng County Princess was in a state of panic: "You were so badly injured, why didn't you tell me just now?"

"So what if I told you?" Feng Jia lowered her head and smiled softly, seeming not to care.

"If you had told them, everyone would have known that you really did escape danger that day, and they would have been glad that you came back alive. You wouldn't have to prove your innocence in this way!"

Feng Jia said: "Will they not let their imagination run wild? Won't they talk about how the ninth girl from the Prime Minister's residence was assassinated and didn't return home all night? Won't they speculate whether I am still innocent?"

Princess Nancheng stopped talking and held the Bodhi beads tightly in her hand.

Feng Jia raised a cold smile: "Princess, you are a princess, so you naturally have not experienced the dangers of the world. Some people don't sympathize with you the more miserable you are. Instead, the more miserable you are, the more they bully you! The more they want to step on you, the better it would be if you could never stand up again!"

Princess Nancheng's pupils dilated slightly.

Feng Jia added: "They wanted me to die, but I refused to let them have their way! Not only did I come back alive, but I was also standing in front of her intact! She dared not speak out her anger! She was tormented by anger in her heart!"

Princess Nancheng keenly caught the key words and glanced at the nanny arranged by the eldest lady: "You go down!"

After the nanny left, she frowned and asked, "Do you suspect that those assassins were sent by your stepmother?"

Feng Jia knocked his head to the ground: "The assassin's only target is me, and he knows my appearance and name clearly. Lan Zhao has only been back to the capital for a few months, who could he offend? Even if the assassin was not hired by Meng, she is still involved in this matter!"

After a long silence, Princess Nancheng sighed and said, "I understand. You can get up now."

Feng Jia stood up, and the Princess of Nancheng took out a jade token from her sleeve and placed it in her palm: "This is the jade token of my Princess's Mansion. If you have any problems in the future, you can use this jade token to find me without any obstacles. I will handle your grievances for you in the future!"

The jade token was so cold, but when she held it in her hand, it burned Feng Jia. She had never expected to get anything from Princess Nancheng, so this was an unexpected surprise.

"Thank you, Princess!" Feng Jia said sincerely.

"Why did you take so long? Could it be that the test revealed something and you don't dare to come out?"

"It's possible. Did you see the look on the face of the nanny next to the princess just now? She looked so flustered, as if she had encountered something terrible!"

Everyone was talking about it, and the corners of Madam Meng's mouth slowly curved up after hearing these words. Xie Lanzhao, I want to see how you can stand in the Xie Mansion in the future!

At this moment, the nanny beside the eldest lady came out, and everyone immediately stood up to ask. The nanny opened her mouth to speak, but heard a cold voice coming from the side, and then Princess Nancheng came out from the inner hall with a group of people.

"I have personally checked and found that Xie Lanzhao is a virgin!" Her voice was not loud, but loud enough for everyone in the hall to hear.

Perfect virginity? People had mixed reactions.

Xie Haoxuan breathed a sigh of relief, but Xie Changrong glared at him angrily.

How is this possible? Meng couldn't help clenching her fists, her sharp eyes shot straight at her nanny. Nanny Xie nodded awkwardly, and Meng gave up. It was as if a basin of cold water was poured over her head, and the joy she had just felt was completely gone.

"How is it possible?" Xie Changrong was so angry that she couldn't help herself, "Xie Lanzhao! Did you bribe the princess with something? Let the princess cover up for you?"
