Li Sisi came to the Heavenly Prison again, and this time she met Xiaoying's female teacher.

Prisoner Xu sat in a dark and damp cell in prison clothes, his eyes closed and his back straight.

Li Sisi felt that even a woman who grew up in an environment like the capital could have an unyielding and proud character.

All the female teachers gave their testimonies, but only Principal Xu refused to admit his mistake.

Therefore, compared with the other female teachers who had been released, Principal Xu's prison uniform was torn and soaked in blood, and he looked pale and weak.

But those phoenix eyes that looked very similar to the princess's were full of tenacity.

"Master Xu..." Xiaoying rushed over with a trembling voice, but stopped in front of Master Xu as if she didn't know where to start, for fear of touching the wounds all over her body.

Seeing Xiaoying's face full of worry and heartache, Principal Xu turned to Li Sisi and said, "You shouldn't have come."

Li Sisi, holding the lunch box, said firmly, "We should come."

Seeing the sickly appearance of Xu Shanchang, who used to be as proud as a snow plum, Li Sisi's eyes became hot.

He took a breath and said with a smile, "I brought you some food, please try it."

Seeing that Xu Shanzhang looked indifferent, Li Sisi added, "These were all made by Xiaoying herself. She respects you very much and is grateful for your guidance..."

Before she could finish, Principal Xu raised his hand and said, "Madam, you are so kind! I am just a prisoner who has violated etiquette and broken the traditions of our ancestors."

Xiaoying immediately objected, "No, Principal Xu is right! Saying women shouldn't study politics is just a way for those in power to use etiquette to regulate women, forcing them into a subordinate position to ensure their ruling class's status and rights remain unchallenged..."

Xu Shanzhang's face changed drastically. He hurriedly covered Xiaoying's mouth and scolded her coldly, "Don't ever say such things again! Even if you don't care about yourself, you still have to do this for the two sisters who raised you like their own sister!"

She let go of her hand, looked at Li Sisi, and advised: "Second Madam Xiao, you should be more considerate in your future actions. Xu has no parents or sisters, so if he dies, he dies. But the Xiao Marquis Mansion is different. They are a noble family, and even a small move can affect the entire family."

Principal Xu sighed, "I was just impulsive before, driven by my anger to fight against worldly ethics. I now realize my mistake. The two young masters of the Xiao Marquisate are both rare talents in governing a country. Especially your husband, the Second Young Master Xiao, who is fair and concerned about the country and the people. Please do not implicate them because of a single man like me."

Li Sisi listened silently.

After she finished speaking, he asked, "So you admit defeat?"

Director Xu was stunned and looked at her in surprise.

Li Sisi lowered her voice and asked again, "Does Director Xu regret what he did before? Do you think that in this kind of environment, you should just go with the flow?"

Without waiting for her answer, Li Sisi continued to ask, "Have you ever thought about yourself, as a married woman, living in the inner chambers, watching your husband have three wives and four concubines, and you can't have any complaints, not even jealousy, otherwise you will commit the seven sins of divorce."

Xiaoying couldn't hold back her temper and said, "No! If my husband can't be loyal to me in the future, then I don't want him!"

Principal Xu spoke in a deep voice: "Xu..."

Li Sisi reminded her, "The way you refer to yourself now is also wrong. Only men have the right to refer to themselves by their own surnames, while women must use their husband's surname. For example, you can call me Madam Xiao Er, or Mrs. Xiao."

Principal Xu was speechless after hearing what she said.

Li Sisi added, "Of course, I'm not saying that women should insist on fighting for a surname. After all, even if they get it, it will still be their father's surname. I just think that women are independent individuals and should not be deprived of the rights they deserve."

She looked at Principal Xu with a determined gaze and said word by word, "Principal Xu, you are right! Besides, the princess hasn't given up yet, so you haven't lost either!"

Director Xu's heart, which had been tortured for many days and was covered with bruises, seemed to be injected with a torrent of energy by her words.

She seemed to be back to the time when she followed the princess, as if she saw women being accused of various crimes simply because of their gender.

They all have the same look: unwilling and unconvinced!

Thinking about the abuse and accusations she has suffered in recent days, now I realize that they are all vested interests, so they can stand on a moral high ground to criticize her mistakes.

But why?

Are the ethics and morals passed down by our ancestors necessarily correct?

No! The only truth is the unfair treatment women have suffered since ancient times!

Principal Xu sighed softly, looking at Li Sisi with a look of gratitude and respect. "You're right. We haven't lost yet. If we don't fight, the suffering of us women will continue forever. Regardless of whether we win or lose in the end, at least this can serve as a warning to the world."

Li Sisi smiled and said, "Don't worry, I will definitely find a way to get you out!"

Upon hearing this, Principal Xu immediately warned, "Madam, please do not act on impulse. Your husband is a virtuous man. You must not bring trouble upon him for me."

"No." Li Sisi vowed.

She opened the lunch box and said, "Eat first, then have a good rest after you're full."

Xu Shanchang bowed respectfully and said, "Thank you very much."

"You're welcome." Li Sisi waved at her.

Seeing her eating politely, Li Sisi took out another pill and said, "Take this medicine for healing. Don't take too much at once. Just a little bit every day will be enough to relieve the pain."

"This..." Shanzhang Xu immediately stood up and bowed again in gratitude, "How dare I trouble Second Madam to take such trouble."

Li Sisi waved her hand casually: "Don't be so polite all the time. You are someone the princess values, and so am I, so we are partners."
