"Father, your daughter-in-law has a request."

Just after exchanging a sarcastic remark with his son, Prince Ping, who was drinking tea and feeling parched, looked up upon hearing this and asked, "Oh? What's the matter, Lin'er? Tell me."

A daughter-in-law is generally a little more reliable than a son.

"Father has already sent the memorial to the Emperor. It should be discussed in the court within the next day or two. In a few days, the contents of the 'Heavenly Sun Shines Brightly' tabloid will also be published. At that time, the entire capital will take notice of this. I would like to invite Father to the palace to request the Empress Dowager to issue an imperial edict."

Jiang Xuelin's face was serious, clearly showing that she cared a lot about this matter.

Before Prince Ping could react to what the imperial edict Jiang Xuelin was referring to, Fu Hanlai glanced at Jiang Xuelin and straightened his expression.

“Indeed, that is the way it should be. Father, we should ask the Empress Dowager to issue an imperial edict that if an official’s unmarried daughter passes away, it must be reported and the funeral must be attended by a palace maid.”

“After all…” Fu Hanlai said, his expression turning sarcastic and cold. “After all, those aristocratic families and official families all care about their reputation. No one wants to be associated with currying favor with the powerful and ruining their daughters’ reputation. And those girls who can have their feet bound must not have any status at home. If they die, they die.”

When the coffin is closed, there will be no way to prove anything.

Let alone being so heartless, they were already willing to break their daughter's leg bones for their own greed, leaving her disabled for life and forced to be given away as a plaything. How could they possibly care about their daughter's life or death?
