Shangguan Lingyun and Ye Xiaoxiao were both very satisfied with the housekeeper's understanding.
"Since you want to atone for your sins, then bring all the women who were abducted here."
The butler was stunned, then looked at Xia Zhenguo, who immediately glared at him fiercely.
Ye Xiaoxiao pursed her lips and spoke in a neutral voice.
"Since you handed over the keys and account books, saving us a lot of trouble, His Majesty is giving you a chance to redeem yourself."
"If you can't catch it, I'm sure there are many people in this mansion who want this opportunity."
After Ye Xiaoxiao finished speaking, she immediately looked at the other servants in the City Guard's Mansion.
As soon as these words were spoken, a few people were eager to try. Seeing this, the housekeeper dared not hesitate any longer.
"Your Majesty is right. How could I not appreciate your kindness? It's just that there are so many places here, and I don't know which one is better to go to first."
Upon hearing this, Xia Zhenguo immediately spoke out to stop the butler from continuing, but was kicked to the ground by the sharp-eyed Tianxuan.
"No matter how old or how far away, all women and boys obtained through illicit means must be brought to the city guard's office."
"Wang Xiao, send someone to follow him. If he dares to play tricks, he will be executed immediately."
"Butler, if you behave well, this palace and His Majesty can spare your innocent family."
"If you say anything untrue, don't blame us for killing you."
Ye Xiaoxiao had lost her patience and ordered in a cold voice.
The housekeeper was shocked. Although he knew that he could not escape the blame, he dared not delay in order to prevent his family from being implicated.
"The Queen is right. Sir, please follow me."
After the butler finished speaking, he took Wang Xiao and several secret guards and walked towards the various courtyards of the City Guard Mansion.
Ye Xiaoxiao glanced at the two girls behind Tianxuan and the woman who was standing there, not daring to step forward.
"Madam, please take the two children back and comfort them, then go home."
Upon hearing this, the woman immediately ran to her two daughters, pulled them down to kneel and kowtow to Ye Xiaoxiao.
"Thank you, Your Majesty. Thank you, Your Majesty."
After bowing, Ye Xiaoxiao waved her hand, and the woman took the two children away.
Ye Xiaoxiao glanced at them indifferently, then turned and looked at Shangguan Lingyun.
"Husband, I suddenly have an idea. I wonder if it is feasible?"
Shangguan Lingyun looked at Ye Xiaoxiao seriously and nodded immediately without waiting for her to speak.
"Xiaoxiao's idea is naturally the best, just do it as you wish."
Ye Xiaoxiao: “…”
[No, I haven't even told you what it is yet, and you've already agreed?]
[Why are you being so careless? It makes me feel like you're just being perfunctory.]
Shangguan Lingyun saw that she had misunderstood and shook his head helplessly.
"I understand your character. You must have felt sorry for those two girls and wanted to do something for them."
Ye Xiaoxiao's face, which was originally a little depressed, was slightly relieved after hearing Shangguan Lingyun's words.
"That's right. I just saw that the two little girls had smart eyes and were calm in the face of danger. They were no less capable than men."
"Plus, since there's no scientific expedition coming up soon, I suddenly had an idea."
Shangguan Lingyun frowned: "You want women to take part in the imperial examination?"
Ye Xiaoxiao nodded, "It is said that women are inferior to men, but sometimes, women may not be inferior to men."
[Alas, this evil feudal society! How can I instill the concept of gender equality into this feudal emperor?]
Shangguan Lingyun narrowed his eyes slightly. Although he thought Ye Xiaoxiao was very unique, he had never thought about gender equality.
Ye Xiaoxiao frowned and thought for a long time before speaking.
"I just have this idea. Since ancient times, men have had three wives and four concubines, and men who have become officials are even more likely to have more wives and concubines."
Shangguan Lingyun: "I will only marry you."
Ye Xiaoxiao: "I'm not talking about you, don't interrupt."
Shangguan Lingyun curled his lips, Ye Xiaoxiao sighed, and then continued.
"If women can also read and learn etiquette, whether they are supporting their husbands and raising children or contributing to the country, it will be a hundred benefits and no harm."
"If this continues, it will be difficult for Daxia not to become powerful."
Shangguan Lingyun curled his lips, "Although you have good intentions, men have been superior to women for many years, and this cannot be changed overnight."
"I'm not trying to discourage you, but this thing may not succeed."
Ye Xiaoxiao raised an eyebrow: "How can we know if we don't try? Everything depends on human effort. I believe that women are as capable as men and can hold up half the sky."
Shangguan Lingyun smiled faintly, "Okay, whatever you say. I will send a pigeon to Wang Muzhe right now, asking him to open up a path for women to take the imperial examinations."
Ye Xiaoxiao had prepared a lot of reasons but before she could finish, Shangguan Lingyun agreed, which almost hurt her waist.
He kept muttering to himself for a long time, which made Shangguan Lingyun want to laugh.
"Alright, I'll let them handle this matter. For now, let's go to the City Guard House first."
Ye Xiaoxiao nodded, then looked at Xia Zhenguo and his brother-in-law who had fainted from the pain.
"What about these two people?"
"Just behead the half-dead one. It's too dirty. I'm too lazy to take him to the government office."
When Xia Zhenguo heard this, he shuddered again, fearing that Shangguan Lingyun would kill him directly.
"Although Xia Zhenguo deserves the death penalty, he is an official appointed by the imperial court after all. First, he should be taken to the city garrison to await trial, and then beheaded."
When Xia Zhenguo heard this, he was about to faint, but Ye Xiaoxiao added in time.
"Tianxuan, if he fainted, there's no need to give him a chance to await trial."
Xia Zhenguo pinched himself hard to avoid fainting.
Ye Xiaoxiao snorted disdainfully, then led the remaining secret guards and Tianxuan towards the government office.
