Tragic death on wedding night, replacement doctor concubine reborn to kill the whole family

"Don't cry, don't cry, it's not like your father and mother won't come back..."

"Oh, okay, I'm fine."

Before Xie Ying could finish comforting her, Xie Jiaojiao had already raised her head, let go of her elder sister, and took a deep breath, "I'm fine!"

Xie Ying: “…”

She looked at her once spoiled sister in disbelief; she seemed different from before.

After thinking about it, she couldn't remember exactly when her schedule became so busy that she didn't even come to bother her, let alone talk about going to the palace to find her eldest brother every day...

“Sister, why are you looking at me like that?” Xie Jiaojiao patted her chest, her pink cheeks also turned pink, as if she was guilty, “You look at me like that makes me feel creepy.”

"You seem different from before."

Xie Jiaojiao breathed a sigh of relief, "Of course, I am now studying seriously at the Women's School, so I am definitely different from before."

"Before, in the clan school, you were not like this."

"Tribal studies are different from women's studies. They are different in ideology. Women's studies are to break free from the shackles on our bodies. We want to prove that we are useful people. We are not just about bearing children, raising children, and being filial to our parents-in-law and elders!"

"Hey, sister, we are human too." She smiled sweetly, but she didn't know what she was thinking about, a trace of sadness flashed across her face, "I'm going to find Xie Yunce. I have to tell him about my parents leaving Beijing."

"Ah."

Xie Jiaojiao had already walked a few steps, and suddenly turned back, looked at Xie Ying and said: "Sister, your own happiness is the most important thing. If something makes you unhappy, then stay away from it.

Be brave enough to pursue what you like, instead of settling for something, because life is long. You can settle for something for a while, but it is very hard to settle for something for a lifetime."

It's okay to make do for a while, but it's hard to make do for a lifetime...

Xie Ying repeated this sentence and thought about it for a long time.

As a maid, Mingzhu heard clearly what her masters said today. The eldest lady was in a daze in the pavilion, enjoying the cold wind, so she leaned against the pillar of the pavilion and was in a daze.

Is it that what the Emperor wants to do is to make women like men, valued by their families and clans, and even enjoy equal freedom like men?

There were many brothers and sisters in the family, and those who were sold were all sisters. The brothers and sisters relied on their allowance to support the family.

And what about themselves?

Should I marry my master and become his concubine, or marry a male servant as a favor from my master...

If you become a concubine, you can live in peace if you are lucky. But if you encounter many dirty things in the backyard, how can you survive?

If she married a male servant, she would not only have to serve her master, but also the male servant who was her husband. There was no end in sight for this life. Thinking about this, Mingzhu's tears rolled down her cheeks.

"Pearl..."

Hearing the eldest lady's voice, Mingzhu came back to her senses, wiped her tears hurriedly, and knelt in front of Xie Ying, "This servant deserves to die. This servant is guilty."

"why are you crying?"

"I don't know, I don't know either."

"You don't know?" He looked sad and hesitant. "If you don't know, then why are you crying?"

Mingzhu raised her eyes and looked at the eldest lady, "I just remembered the sad things at home."

"Oh? Then tell me."

"Slave..."

"No matter what you say, I won't blame you." As a master and servant, she still had some integrity. "Go ahead."

She stood up and helped the man up.

Mingzhu took a deep breath and told him what she had heard today and how she couldn't help crying when she thought about the situation at home.

"Miss?"

After Mingzhu finished speaking, she found that the eldest lady was even more silent. "Miss, I just suddenly felt sad. In fact, the fate of women in the world is the same. Which daughter doesn't think about her brothers?

Women's lives are cheap. Apart from people like the eldest daughter, who can decide their own fate?"

"Miss, does the emperor really want equality between men and women?" She didn't even know what equality meant?

Those who have signed a death contract are not human beings, but just dogs of their master. Good dogs will be fed, and disobedient dogs will be sold.

Who knows what kind of family I will meet next time?

Gender equality...

New and old ideas collided in Xie Ying's mind. How many dynasties would it take for the emperor to accomplish that?

There are so many things to fight for, such as freedom to marry and the most basic requirement for equality is the ability to be financially independent!

It is easy for men to be independent, what belongs to the family belongs to them.

But what about women?

Even if they could get into school or become officials, there were too many obstacles before them.

Too much is too much.

Xie Ying thought about it for a long time, and then laughed. Let alone ordinary people, even among the noble ladies in Beijing, how many can be their own masters?

"That's what the emperor thinks." The fact that she asked her elder brother to go to Jinzhou to handle the Tao Wenjun case shows her attitude.

Unless women and men each make up half of the court, and there are women who can speak up for women and fight for their rights, all this is empty talk.

"Miss, where are you going?" Mingzhu saw Xie Ying suddenly stand up and hurriedly followed.

Xie Ying said: "Going to the girls' school, I think I should also learn more." Whether it was because of the troubles and confusion in her heart, or to support the emperor.

----

Jinzhou, there is an inn.

"Father, mother..."

Xiao Zhenzhen rushed into the guest room, holding up her skirt, and Zhou Yiqing followed behind her, "Uncle, Aunt."

Su Yun raised her eyes and looked at Xiao Zhenzhen. What are you in such a hurry for?

"Brother Yunchu got very angry and arrested those who spread the rumors."

Xiao Lusheng said: "Good catch, you should have used some tricks earlier!"

Xiao Zhenzhen frowned, "But, there are so many people in front of the prefect's mansion, both men and women. Not only are the men cursing Sister Tao Wenjun, but the women are also yelling and cursing, asking the government to put a woman like Tao Wenjun who is not faithful to her husband in a pig cage."

As she spoke, Xiao Zhenzhen was so angry that her cheeks looked like balls.

Zhou Yiqing said, "Don't be angry yet. Xie Fengjun will definitely solve it. It's not like we should just let those people do whatever they want after they make a fuss."

"Yiqing is right." Xiao Lusheng said.

"Father, the mountains are high and the emperor is far away. Aren't you afraid that the governor will use public opinion to bully Brother Yunchu?"

"If he's so easily bullied, I'm overestimating him."

Su Yun opened her mouth, then chose not to say anything.

Now may not be the best time to show up. Besides, my husband's secret agent has already sent a message that Chen'er has come to Jinzhou and should be here in four or five days.

Chen'er was overjoyed that he could walk out of the Imperial Observatory.

His coming to Jinzhou to handle the Tao Wenjun case exceeded her and her husband's expectations.

"Then shall we continue watching the show?" Xiao Zhenzhen asked.

Xiao Lusheng took a sip of tea and said, "What's wrong with enjoying the flowers, eating delicious food, and seeing the local customs and practices?"
