"They committed premeditated murder," Censor Wu shouted.
"Because they have nowhere to turn for help! When they were covered in bruises, everyone was like Censor Wu, saying condescendingly, 'It's better to demolish ten temples than to ruin a marriage. Which man doesn't beat his wife? Just endure it and it will pass. But if she can't endure it anymore, then they can only die together, right?"
"If the emperor thinks I am wrong, I will accept your punishment, but I will definitely demand justice for Lady Li's matter."
"Your Majesty, please give justice to Madam Li." Lord Su also walked out from behind and knelt beside Gu Can.
"Your Majesty, please seek justice for Madam Li." Lord Mo also came, Lord Cheng, Lord An, and more than a dozen female officials in the court all stood up.
They are not just seeking justice for Lady Li. Women all over the world suffer, and they work so hard, aren't they just seeking justice for themselves and others?
"Your Majesty, please grant justice to Madam Li." This time it was Grand Tutor Gu who spoke, followed by Prime Minister Gu, Zhang Shu, and Lin Jinshi. In a blink of an eye, half of the people in the hall knelt down.

"Minister Gu."
"Can thanks all the gentlemen on behalf of Madam Li." Gu Can saw that it was Lord Su and the others, so he quickly bowed and thanked them.
"Minister Gu, you are too polite. Women in the world suffer. If they don't give us justice, we will fight for it ourselves. You are braver than us. Just tell us what you need us to do." Lord Su quickly helped Gu Can up.
