Chapter 118: I Don’t Know People Well

Bai Susu and An Yinyin have been taken away by Lu Fuyu. Lu Fuyu is so angry that these two people will not have a good time. Now there is some free time, and they all look at Chu Jiuning with eager eyes.

Chu Jiuning looked at them with a hint of doting in her eyes.

"Just order whatever you want. Eat and drink your fill first, okay?"

The maids cheered and asked the waiter to bring some more delicious food and drinks. They ate without restraint, regardless of master or servant, and even drank two glasses of wine. Finally, they touched their round stomachs and burped before going downstairs.

After returning to the Chang Mansion and changing into casual home clothes, Nanny Hong walked in hurriedly.

"Miss, Miss."

Several people felt that Nanny Hong's tone was a little excited, so they hurriedly put down the work in their hands and looked at Nanny Hong in unison. Amber rushed up to her and asked.

"Ma, aren't you supervising the building of the wall?"

The dead men surnamed Song knocked down the wall between the two mansions, and they had to rebuild it quickly.

so.

Not long after the divorce document was issued, Madam Hong came back and ordered everyone to build a wall, and to make it twice as high as the original one.

Never see each other again!!

"It's almost done, young lady. The old master has sent someone with a message. He will come and take you home in person in a while."

Amber was surprised, and then overjoyed.

Chu Jiuning was slightly stunned.

It was like the ice in the heart being shattered by a chisel. The moment it cracked, beams of light burst out.

From the name of the Great Dynasty to the present day.

No young lady has ever been taken back by her parents' home after divorce. Many of them are separated from their husbands after divorce and never have any contact with each other again, and are filled with regrets when they close their eyes.

But.

But grandpa didn't care about that and wanted to take her back personally.

To tell the world.

How important she is to the Chu family.

"Miss, the servants will dress you up right away. We must go back looking beautiful."

"Yes, I'm going to look for clothes and jewelry..."

With tears in their eyes and a choked voice, everyone was running around getting busy.

Today's dress is even more grand than the wedding day.

finally.

Mingtang, who was guarding the gate of the mansion, ran back, waving and shouting.

"Here I come."

Gongs and drums were beating and firecrackers were blasting.

Chu Jiuning sat in front of the dressing table, looking at herself in the mirror who was becoming more and more beautiful and cold, with a slight burning feeling in her heart.

"Miss."

There were tears in Nanny Hong's eyes.

"Let's go out."

The young lady wanted and was happy to be able to return in glory.

"good."

Chu Jiuning picked a priceless bracelet from the plate and put it on her wrist, then led everyone and walked quickly towards the mansion gate.

The door opened heavily.

The sun jumped out from the clouds, and a beam of gold enveloped her, making her look even more elegant and dignified.

The old man led one or two hundred people, all of whom were dressed in bright red clothes, with smiles on their faces, and the scene was full of joy.

Entrance location.

A large pot of fire was burning, and as soon as she came out, the old man splashed grapefruit juice on them.

"Quick, cross the fire basin, cross the fire basin."

Chu Jiuning curved her brows slightly, lifted her long skirt, and jumped out of the fire. After jumping over, she bowed politely to the old man.

"My granddaughter is unfilial and makes grandpa worry so much."

The old man laughed, helped her up, and spoke to the crowd.

"Today is a good day for my dear grandson to divorce her husband. I will personally take her back. From now on, the past will be forgotten. She will still be the daughter of my Chu family."

Unexpected.

The people around also cheered.

Old Master Chu knew that it must be the credit of Dajue Temple. With the goddess's filter, the people thought that whatever she did was right.

Old Master Chu said to Chu Jiuning again.

"I am old and don't know people well. I sent you into a den of wolves, causing you to almost lose your life. This is my fault, and you shouldn't have to bear the consequences. Now that you have the emperor's consent, you can divorce your husband and be free. From now on, you can marry by yourself, and I will no longer interfere."

This is to tell Chu Jiuning.

No matter who she wants to marry in the future, as long as she likes it, it’s up to her.

Chu Jiuning really didn't expect that her grandfather loved her so deeply. Her heart was filled with warmth, her eyes were burning, and she threw herself into her grandfather's arms and choked up.

Old Master Chu patted her on the back, took her hand, and slowly walked down the stairs together, continuing to talk with everyone.

"We're all born and raised by our parents, lovingly brought up. There's no reason to treat a daughter like spilled water once she's married off. If she's happy, then there's nothing to complain about. But what if she's unhappy? If her family doesn't help, won't she die alone and helpless, filled with regret?"

These words were spoken loudly.

With great force.

The crowd that was originally talking at once suddenly fell silent.

Everyone stared at Chu Jiuning and Old Master Chu in amazement. For a moment, it felt as if a pot of hot water was poured into their chests, and even their eyes became hot.

"Grandpa is right."

Chu Jiuning raised her eyes and looked at the old, weak, women and children in the crowd. Some of them had clear eyes and brows, some had white hair, some looked sick, and some were exhausted...

She remembered Cheng Yanzhi's words, and gently stroked the jade ring on her finger, with a hint of coldness in her eyes.

"Sisters, sisters-in-law, and aunts, let me ask you a question: Is it true that this world is unfair to women?"

The crowd remained silent.

But there was a sound of soft sobbing.

"Being under the yoke of a father is a bondage, being under the yoke of a husband is also a bondage, being under the yoke of a son is even more of a bondage. From birth to death, every step is a bondage. Do you ever want to live for yourself? Do you ever want to be independent? Do you ever want to earn your own money and support yourself? Do you no longer want to beg or rely on others? Do you no longer want to live under someone else's roof? Do you no longer want to be beaten and scolded by your husband's family for asking for a penny?"

nod.

Nodded heavily.

"Whether you come from a wealthy family or a poor one, if you get married and suffer all kinds of hardships, is there any place to seek redress? Is there any place to tell your story? Is there any place to seek justice for you?"

Despair filled the women's eyes and tears welled up in their eyes.

"I'm thinking, if I ask His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to use my power to establish a Divorce Bureau to deal specifically with unhappy marriages, anyone, whether official or civilian, who is unhappy and wants a divorce, can file a petition. Once verified, I will help them get a divorce and regain their freedom. If they have nowhere to go after the divorce, I can also run a factory and arrange work for them, so they can earn money and become independent."

"Really?"

An old lady with a hunched back, holding a wooden stick as a crutch, and with white hair, looked at Chu Jiuning with excitement in her eyes.

If there really were such an organization in the world, how many people would be spared from dying?

"kindness."

Meeting her old, confused, and somewhat timid gaze, Chu Jiuning suddenly made up his mind and nodded heavily.

"It's not a bad idea for women to not rely on others and be self-reliant. I can't help everyone, but if I can help one person, that's enough."

"well."

The old lady tightly grasped the stick in her hand, her whole body shaking with excitement. She had been looking forward to this day for twenty years, and she thought she would die in that house.

"Let's go."

The old man pointed at the joyous carriage and got on it with Chu Jiuning.

Just like the joyous and lively atmosphere of her wedding day, she was sent out and now she was taken back.

"Grandpa, thank you."

Chu Jiuning, with tears in her eyes, held Old Master Chu's arm, leaned on his shoulder, and sobbed softly. Old Master Chu patted her head with a smile in his eyes.
