Rebirth: The wedding night, my whole family was exiled, I raised 500,000 soldiers

Liu Mingxin said angrily: "We were forced to do this. The daughter-in-law was too cruel and actually poisoned her mother-in-law."

Shen Lanxi pointed out accurately: "The file says that the granddaughter was sold to a brothel."

Liu Mingxin fell silent.

Shen Lanxi chuckled: "It's also written in the file that the son knew about this!"

Liu Mingxin really couldn't say anything to help his son, so this was the difficult part of this case.

"According to what you said, the man must die?" So the life of the innocent child was disregarded.

Shen Lanxi reasoned from top to bottom, one by one.

"It is understandable that a mother wants her son to stay with her and be filial after raising him. A daughter-in-law loves her child. If the mother-in-law did not sell the child to a brothel, but sold her to someone else's house as a maid or laborer, or even found a family to let her be a child bride early, the daughter-in-law would not be so cruel. Which mother in the world would like to see her daughter being abused at such a young age?"

Liu Mingxin remained silent because no one was wrong in this matter, which made it difficult to make a judgment.

Shen Lanxi continued, "It's understandable that the son was so angry when he saw his mother being poisoned that he took ruthless action."

Liu Mingxin's eyes lit up, and he said in embarrassment: "If you say so, no one is wrong?"

Shen Lanxi: "On the contrary, everyone is wrong!"

Liu Mingxin sneered. What was the difference between saying this and not saying it to anyone?

Shen Lanxi: "If a mother is really sick, she would have her son standing in front of her to serve her, and no one would find fault with her. But according to the testimony, this woman does this every day. When her son and daughter-in-law are working in the fields, she chats and laughs with the neighbors every day. She is full of energy, and her legs and feet are very flexible. Her complexion is better than that of her daughter-in-law. It is obvious that she is pretending to be sick."

Liu Mingxin frowned: "Sir Shen, does this have anything to do with this case? If it's not relevant, don't talk about it. I don't have time for small talk."

Shen Lanxi: "Yes, it is very important. Sir Liu, and all the other lords, please listen to me patiently."

"You showed me this case before because you wanted me to handle it, didn't you? If you don't want me to handle it, you can take the case away now!"

Liu Mingxin and others remained silent.

Shen Lanxi: "There are only a few of us in the family. As a son, he has lived with his mother for many years. How could he not see that his mother was pretending, unless she was blind and deaf? Unfortunately, the testimony says that this man is a peddler who walks the streets. He has sharp eyes, ears and a sharp mouth. The reason why he obeys his mother in everything is obviously foolish filial piety!"

"Foolish filial piety and foolish loyalty are the same. Foolish loyalty harms the people and oneself and family. The same is true for foolish filial piety. Now such a tragedy has occurred. It is only the son's fault that he obeyed his mother in everything even though he knew that his mother was faking illness and deliberately tormenting his daughter-in-law."

"The daughter-in-law was also impulsive. The woman sold her daughter, but she didn't want to. Instead of thinking about finding her daughter, she killed the woman. She didn't even think about taking care of her own child. Obviously, she didn't think carefully enough. Of course, it is also possible that she was so anxious that she lost her mind and didn't care about anything else, and even had the idea of ​​dying together with her."

"These three women, the mother-in-law and the daughter-in-law, all have their own problems, so the first thing we should think about is not how to deal with the man, but to use this incident to solve thousands of hidden dangers."

Liu Mingxin frowned: "What do you mean?"

Shen Lanxi: "There is a saying among the people that a bad daughter-in-law ruins three generations. Usually, people talk about how good the man is, but they don't think about the fact that the man is taught by his mother since he was young. The mother is the child's first teacher. The child will imitate and learn from the mother's words, deeds, and every move. Therefore, sometimes, by looking at the man, you can tell what his mother and even his entire family are like."

Liu Mingxin and all the officials were silent.

Shen Lanxi: "You all say that a woman without talent is virtuous, but you never think about it. If a woman has no talent, how can she raise outstanding children and grandchildren? It would be good if she doesn't bring disaster to them all."

The officials were silent again.

Shen Lanxi gave an example: "Before, Lord Fang Youdao of the Ministry of Justice was upright and incorruptible, and hated evil, but what happened? Just because his family married a unreasonable and unruly woman, he spoiled his son and turned him into a playboy. Lord Fang was upright and noble all his life, but in the end, he was dragged down by his wife and son, and his whole family lost their heads."

"From this incident, I have seen countless microcosms. Most of the women in my Great Zhou are locked up at home, illiterate, and narrow-minded. They have no way of distinguishing right from wrong, so after getting married, they are confused and often make mistakes, which affects their fathers and brothers and harms their husbands' families."

She then cited several more examples, all of which were from the past ten years, of high-ranking officials in the court who were dragged down by their families and were either thrown into prison, exiled, or had their entire families executed.

The officials felt cold all over after hearing this and wished they could rush home and question their wives.

Shen Lanxi raised her lips and said, "So, I want to solve the problem from the root, instead of caring whether the man dies or not."

"A country has its own laws, and a family has its own rules. If you make a mistake, you must bear the consequences. That man killed someone, and the court law requires execution, no doubt about it."

"That child has no one to take care of him. I have already figured out a solution to this problem. We will build orphanages in various places. Years of war have left many orphans without anyone to take care of them. Shouldn't these orphans also be sent to orphanages to be taken care of by the court?"

Liu Mingxin couldn't say anything to refute, because he also felt that Shen Lanxi was right to do so.

Shen Lanxi: "Then we will open girls' schools in various places, so that girls can be enlightened and sensible, and have the ability to distinguish right from wrong."

What? Open a girls' school?

How come we ended up talking about opening a girls' school?

All the officials' attention was focused on the three regent ministers, especially Liu Mingxin.

"It's ridiculous. Since the founding of the Great Zhou, I have never heard of a girls' school. This move is simply, absolutely against moral principles."

Shen Lanxi glanced at Liu Mingxin and said, "Does Lord Liu want his children and grandchildren to marry wives who are as unreasonable and unreasonable as that woman?"

Liu Mingxin choked, then said: "It's not like all women in the world are like that old woman."

Shen Lanxi said coldly: "So the women in Lord Liu's family are illiterate and don't know anything?"

How could he admit this? If he admitted it, who would dare to marry a girl from his Liu family?

"Nonsense, the girls in my family are of course carefully educated. They are proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting. They are also virtuous and praised by others."

Shen Lanxi: "So, a sensible person like Lord Liu would definitely support his daughter to study at home. I guess there must be many famous teachers in his house, right?"

How should Liu Mingxin respond to this?

It’s not right to say you invited me, and it’s not right to say you didn’t invite me either!
