"The wife is the head of the household, and the daughter is the head of the household."
Xiao Zhixing suddenly spoke up, mentioning Feng Changxin's thoughts and opinions.
"Women are not allowed to have their own thoughts or personal desires; they are only allowed to be obedient wooden figures."
“Feng Changxin, your words trample women into the dust. Little do you know that this is the root cause of your being forced by Chang Shigeng, because he doesn’t treat you like a human being at all.”
Chang Shigeng seemed to have given up entirely, and upon hearing this, he laughed angrily, "Yes, in my eyes, she's just a beast, hahaha. We're both women, yet she belittles women to the point of worthlessness. How much is she worth then?"
"It's her honor that I've taken a liking to her! A promiscuous woman, who knows how many men she's seduced, ah..."
Mo Mei kicked him hard, telling him to shut up because his words were too rude.
Feng Changxin was struck by lightning.
Xiao Zhixing stood up, his voice gentle yet sharp as a knife, “Women are also human beings. What makes humans human is freedom, autonomy, and wisdom, which distinguishes them from the ignorance and apathy of beasts.”
"Your words extinguish human desires and natural instincts, are extremely biased, and degrade women to beasts. Then, as a woman yourself, why can't you be considered a beast?"
"Women are mothers, procreation is the purpose of women. If all men in the world are the offspring of beasts, then they are also beasts?"
Everyone in the area was stunned.
Feng Changxin suddenly screamed, "No, no! I'm not! I'm Feng Changxin! I'm Feng Changxin!! I'm the Empress, I'm the Empress—"
Xiao Zhixing's face was cold and his words were like sharp blades, "Even wolves know to protect their own kind. You, who disregard kinship, are selfish, and harm your own kind, are worse than animals!"
Feng Changxin let out a shrill howl, a sound so sharp and piercing that it sent chills down one's spine.
Her beliefs were completely shattered by Xiao Zhixing.
He collapsed instantly, went mad.
Facing everyone, Xiao Zhixing said, word by word, "Women should be self-reliant and strong, not to compete with men, but to live their own wonderful lives."
"A true woman, as a wife, assists her husband in maintaining peace and stability within the family and stands as half the sky; as a daughter, she respects and loves her elders and relatives, and cherishes herself with self-respect; if she becomes a general or prime minister, she can also stabilize the country and bring blessings to all people!"
The case in Da Wan Li has come to an end, but the waves it has stirred up are only just beginning.
Xiao Zhixing's rebuttal of Feng Changxin swept across the world with the speed of a hurricane.
In particular, Dongzhou was a veritable earthquake in the literary world.
Those who idolized Feng Changxin seemed to have been choked, and dared not utter another word of her opinion.
The women of Dongzhou took Xiao Zhixing's last words to heart, with Feng Huier being the first to act.
She removed her veil, raised her chin, and laughed heartily in the bright summer sunshine.
Many of the girls even planned to travel to Beizhou together; they were also talented women with their own specialties.
They wanted to respond to Prince Yuansheng's call, do their part for the people, and find their own wonderful life.
Feng Zhen'er was a little envious. "This is so nice. This is the Dongzhou I like."
No matter how dilapidated her home was, it was still her home. It wasn't that she didn't like it, but she felt so oppressed that she chose to escape.
Who doesn't want a peaceful and comfortable home?
Of course, some people are more concerned about what Feng Changxin said: that she deliberately wrote the "Precepts for Women" to prevent Xiao Yan from ascending the throne.
And coincidentally, it became a popular song.
Therefore, they inevitably wondered, was this really Feng Changxin's own idea? Or was someone else behind it?
Therefore, the atmosphere in Shengjing City has been somewhat strange these past few days, with even the imperial court feeling deathly still.
Xiao Zhixing almost burst out laughing.
Zhao Yunqi deserves to be blamed; even if he didn't instigate Xin Changxin's remarks, no one would believe him.
She waited for the Emperor System to communicate with him.
Unexpectedly, the two of them chose to remain silent.
They were probably quite speechless and angry about this.
Feng Zhen'er sighed, "Back then, when she traveled to Shengjing, she fell in love with His Majesty, who was then the heir of the Duke, at first sight. Upon returning, she begged her grandmother to let her marry him. Unfortunately, when the Feng family went to make contact, they learned that he was already engaged to Princess Yuansheng. Perhaps because she couldn't have him, she was bewitched and made a lot of jokes."
"Over the years, my grandfather has kept her confined in Dongzhou to the limit. It was my grandmother who couldn't bear to do it, after all, she was her own flesh and blood. She couldn't bring herself to hurt her. I never expected that she would develop hysteria."
Feng Zhen'er said in a low voice, "Three years after the late empress passed away, she secretly went to Shengjing for half a year, and when she came back, something was wrong."
She probably dreamed of becoming Zhao Yunqi's empress or concubine, but when that didn't happen, she went completely mad.
[Yellow comment: Since ancient times, love between men and women has always ended in regret. Alas, I don't know how to comment.]
[Red comment: Don't try to defend her, she's just being sentimental. If that scumbag Qi had even the slightest feeling for her, it wouldn't be a problem for him to take her as a concubine.]
[Green comment: The key is the bullshit she wrote. She once targeted Xiao Yan. Was that scumbag Qi stupid to take her in? If he really took her in, it wouldn't be pointless. It would be clearly telling the world that he instigated her to make those remarks?]
[Green comment: I'm mortal enemies with her! Her so-called "Women's Precepts" and "Women's Rules" are prevalent in Dongzhou, and later they were further distorted, becoming a tool to harm women all over the world. Damn it, the four barbarian tribes destroyed countless classics, but they left this dregs behind. It must have been intentional.]
[Yellow comment: So when the prince refuted and defeated her face to face, it was not only clearing obstacles for his own future, but also saving countless women whose shackles were already heavy enough and couldn't be increased.]
After this incident, Feng Changxin was taken back by Feng Rong, where she miscarried and kept her condition hidden from the public. She died soon after, depressed and withdrawn.
Chang Shigeng had a moral failing and paid a heavy price to get the Feng family to let him go, but he lost his official position. After returning to his hometown, he was told that he had suffered a stroke and was now bedridden.
With the position of Prefect of Dongzhou temporarily vacant, the imperial court began another round of wrangling over who should be sent to the prefecture.
