I am cannon fodder, but I can hug thighs

Chapter 395 Dragon Spring on the Tongue

Song Shiqiu frowned when he heard this. It was true that the lady of the Xu family was not the only one who had returned to the capital recently. It was just that only the Xu family had made such a big fuss. The others were either overjoyed or waiting to see what the Xu family would do and what His Majesty's attitude would be.

"I have checked. All of these people who have come back from the dead are women, and they were all people who died in vain. They were innocent in the past, but now they are resurrected by chance. Their former relatives have become enemies. We know that they are the people from the past, but we are calling a black cat a white cat. What on earth is this? Are they not citizens of Daxia? Are we ignoring these women just because of something that has not happened yet?"

Fang Yuzhu knew that if His Majesty intervened in this matter, she'd better not continue to interfere. However, she also knew what situation those women would face in the end, so she had to take care of it.

"The affairs of the Xu family are not known to everyone, but they are also a hot topic. How can Mrs. Xu live her life in the future if you confuse right and wrong like this? Aren't you forcing them to die? It is our incompetence that we cannot quell the rumors, but why should we sacrifice them because of our incompetence as officials!" Fang Yuzhu became more and more excited as she spoke, and her stomach began to ache slightly at the end.

She panted slightly, and the maid beside her hurriedly calmed her down: "Madam, your pregnancy is still unstable, don't get too excited."

Fang Yuzhu clenched her teeth, frowned slightly, and looked at someone with resentment: "Song Shiqiu, you men have never experienced the pain of women, but you were all born after ten months of pregnancy by women. Isn't this behavior a form of persecution? Aren't you afraid that it will backfire on your loved ones in the future?"

Song Shiqiu rubbed his brows and said, "It has nothing to do with whether they are women or not. Your Majesty and I have already discussed their future destinations."

"If the person who came back from the dead was a man, would you really let it go? These women are either powerless or just wives in the harem. What if these people are not women but their husbands? Would you really make such a hasty decision?"

"You just think it's okay to let these women suffer for a while, but they were originally their relatives, why can't they acknowledge them? Why should they endure other people's contempt and change their identities? They did nothing wrong. Are you not at fault for the accident? You failed to protect the people of Daxia and let the bandits hurt people at will under the feet of the emperor. You are the ones who should be punished, you!"

Fang Yuzhu was not satisfied with Song Shiqiu's words. Even if a place was arranged for her, what would it matter? Could it be that those grievances were no longer real if they were arranged? If she said that Madam Xu was fake, what would the world say? They would say that Madam Xu was possessed by the devil and dared to pretend to be a dead person with a similar face. She would surely be cursed by everyone in the future.

"I don't believe there is no way to have the best of both worlds, it's just that you are unwilling to do it. You are concerned about this and that, but you only don't care about women. You use persecution of women to stabilize the destiny of Daxia. Song Shiqiu, are you at ease as the prime minister?" Fang Yuzhu slammed the table again and again, as if she wanted to vent all her grievances.

"Because these women are the women in the harem, they are not important? If they hadn't kept the harem in order, would you be so high-spirited outside? Song Shiqiu, this world can live well without you men. It is you men who drag us women down, and it is you who shackle us women!"

Fang Yuzhu felt that they were still too kind. Perhaps we women should be more cruel, like men do to women, strangling or drowning baby boys when they are born. Men are not as powerful as women now, but what about a hundred years later?

Song Shiqiu looked calm, drinking tea while waiting for her to finish speaking.

Fang Yuzhu sneered, "Song Shiqiu, Song Shiqiu, the knife hasn't pierced your sore spot yet, right? I don't know if Song Er will be disappointed seeing you like this in heaven, or maybe Song Er has been dead for too long, and you have forgotten how dangerous Song Er was back then. If Song Er had died back then, would you still be so calm now?"

"Snapped!"

The teacup broke into pieces in Song Shiqiu's hand. The fragments cut Song Shiqiu's eyebrow, and blood flowed down the outer corner of his eye. The winding blood made his face look more sinister.

With a cold face, Song Shiqiu asked someone to help him treat the wounds on his hands and eyebrow.

Fang Yuzhu smiled and said, "Look, if Song Er was among the people who came back from the dead, you should have changed your attitude. But what's the difference between those women and Song Er, except that they are not Song Er. The people are not as important as the country, so what's the point of the people? Is a country without the people still a country?"

Song Shiqiu looked at the bandaged wound on his hand and said, "Some are happy and some are sad when someone comes back from the dead. The Xu family is no longer a good place for that lady, so why push her into the fire pit?"

"Her children are not young anymore. Her daughter is about to get married and her son is about to come of age. If she comes back later, there will be no one in the Xu family who needs her to worry about except the old lady. It is better for her to be free and happy than to be in physical harmony with them."

Fang Yuzhu paused: "Then how will the world view her? She has been cursed for no reason, and this curse should not have been on her in the first place."

It would be easy to handle if they kept silent like other families did, but the matter had already been made a big deal by the Xu family. There were so many eyes watching in the capital. If it really turned out to be a fake, no matter what arrangements were made later, Mrs. Xu would be subject to gossip.

This woman shouldn't have been the one to be scolded.

"Who knows who she is after she changed her name? Besides, there is no such thing as Madam Xu. She is just a spy from the enemy country." As for what happened to this spy, the people didn't need to worry about it. "There are so many people in the world. It's okay for two people to look alike."

"You actually planned to do this?" Fang Yuzhu looked uncertain. "Even if that's the case, can this really stop the gossips? There are so many people, it can't be just a coincidence, and they all just happen to be..."

"Since it was done by the enemy country, then why couldn't Daxia have used the same trick to replace the original with the new one? The truth depends on how we explain it. It's not a bad thing that some people 'died'." How could Song Shiqiu not even think of this? "Your Majesty and I never thought of sacrificing these women. You worry too much."

Not to mention that this is against the harmony of people, if Lin Jin comes back and knows about this, who knows what kind of mess it will cause.

Even if he did this, what would be the difference between him handing his own handle to his political enemies? Not everyone is like the Xu family. If he doesn't have a perfect plan, he would just be causing people to be separated from their families for no reason.

After finally finding his loved ones, how could he do such a heinous thing?

"You are pregnant now, so I don't blame you for your extreme words, but if you are still so impatient in the court, I'm afraid you will anger a lot of people." There was a warning in Song Shiqiu's eyes. If those words were to get out, even if Xia Zhengan saved Fang Yuzhu's life, he would not be able to save her official position.

"You are also the head of the female officials. There are as many eyes on you as there are on me. If you don't be careful with your words and actions, you will get into trouble."

"Don't sacrifice yourself when you can't save the women in this world."

After all, Fang Yuzhu was a female official selected by him personally, so he still had to give her a few words of warning. If the female official system was destroyed because of Fang Yuzhu, it would be a loss.
