Chapter 257, Sister-in-law, I can help you

After hearing this, Xia Wanwan clenched her spoon a lot tighter, "In this era, protecting women... is a loss for men."

[It's difficult. I thought that making new laws was just a matter of the emperor's mouth. ]

[I didn't expect that many men would be defeated as soon as the regulations came out. Once women have freedom and choice, they will feel that it is a loss, because women become difficult to control. ]

[They don't treat women as equals at all, but only as property and private property. ]

[In this era, women are born to have a hard life, and it is even harder if they are not protected by the court. ]

[It seems that I, Xia Wanwan, have a long way to go to do this! ]

She sighed in her heart with melancholy.

The food in Xia Wanwan's bowl no longer smelled good.

She took another big bite and chewed it.

Xia Siheng tapped her little nose, "Don't we still have your father and grandfather? It's not a big problem."

"What is your next plan, Lord?" Liu Wan asked with a smile.

She knew that Xia Siheng's support for this matter showed that he did not regard women as objects in his heart.

Instead, he regarded them, mother and daughter, as a part of his life.

"I will send people to check the family background of those courtiers who were not invited today, and we can roughly estimate how many of them will support it."

"After the preliminary review, we will find those courtiers who oppose it and defeat them one by one."

In this way, the chances of winning in the final card toss will be greater.

Liu Wan nodded, "The details of the inner chambers of those courtiers who opposed can be compiled into a book and handed over to me."

She will organize and deal with it.

If the previous dynasty cannot be dealt with, then she will start with their inner chambers.

It is impossible for every family to be perfect and without flaws.

As long as a flaw is caught, the chance of winning will be greater.

The two quickly discussed countermeasures and had dinner with Xia Wanwan.

Xia Wanwan's heart was full of warmth at this moment, and her little nose was slightly sour.

In her previous life, she was an orphan and was picked up by her master when she was still in her infancy. She relied on herself for cultivation and everything. Sometimes when she was isolated and helpless, she would think, how nice it would be if she had a powerful backer.

If she hadn't used the ashes of her ancestor to refine the elixir, she wouldn't have been blown to death and then come here.

Although she came from a bad family, fortunately, she still had her cultivation. She helped her mother get a divorce and became a family with Uncle Xia.

Now, even if she has to do such a difficult thing, they are there to help her.

Her parents are trying every way to help her.

[I like this feeling of home.]

[It would be great if our family could be together for a lifetime.]

Xia Siheng and Liu Wan looked at each other, their eyes intertwined, and finally they put their hands behind their daughter's back and clasped them tightly.

They answered Wanwan in their hearts at the same time.

Yes, I will.

Xia Siheng finished his meal in a hurry and left early. He left Jing Wu and some secret guards to send Liu Wan and her daughter back later.

Liu Wan led the little guy out of the compartment door, and saw Jing Wu and Yuan Bao stopping a man.

The man was as gentle as jade, with a calm face, and was not annoyed by their obstruction.

Liu Wan was slightly stunned, and couldn't help but hold Wan Wan's hand tightly.

"Second Master Xie?"

"Sister-in-law, can I say a few words to you?" Xie Jinqian wanted to take a step forward, but was stopped by Jing Wu who drew his sword.

Jing Wu: "Idle people, do not approach the princess!"

The wedding of the prince and the princess is approaching, and it's okay to change their words in advance.

At this juncture, we must be more cautious, especially beware of Xie Jinqian!

But Xie Jinqian didn't even look at Jingwu. He stared at Liu Wan, with embarrassment and reluctance in his eyes.

"Sister-in-law, what I want to tell you is about Wanwan..."

His hands clenched under his sleeves.

Xie Jinqian just wanted to meet her, but he had to use such despicable words.

He secretly despised his own mean behavior in his heart.

But if not, under the coercion of Xia Siheng, his sister-in-law would never meet him alone.

Sure enough, when he mentioned Wanwan, Liu Wan's eyes changed.

She held the child, turned around and went back into the room, and said lightly, "Come in."

Xia Wanwan nodded violently and winked at Jingwu, "No, no."

Jingwu did not relax, and wanted to persuade her, but was stopped by Yuanbao, who shook his head at him.

Xie Jinqian smiled and walked into the room.

The waiter in the room had just cleaned up the leftovers. Seeing the three sets of tableware, Xie Jinqian's eyes darkened.

A sense of loss rose in his heart.

"Second Master, just say it straight. I am a woman waiting to get married, so it is not good for me to spend too much time with you." Liu Wan sat down at the side and asked.

Xie Jinqian turned the ring on his hand, and the room was covered by a lavender light.

It formed a huge cage, isolating everything from the outside world.

Liu Wan's face darkened a little, "What are you doing?"

She knew from her daughter's voice that Second Master Xie knew some evil magic. If he were to do something today, she would be in danger.

"Don't be afraid, sister-in-law, I just want to prevent people outside from hearing it. I won't hurt you..."

Seeing her like this, Xie Jinqian hurriedly explained carefully.

He took a small step forward and finally retracted his outstretched hand. He

was as embarrassed as the young boy Liu Wan met for the first time six or seven years ago.

Xia Wanwan put her thumb in her mouth and looked at the light shield with curiosity.

[Hehe, it turns out that Second Uncle really has some skills, but he doesn't look that powerful, and he hasn't been practicing for a long time.]

[He has practiced for two and a half years.]

After hearing this, Liu Wan finally felt relieved.

Xie Jinqian was troubled, and he felt bad that his sister-in-law was so defensive against him.

Before Xia Siheng showed up, his sister-in-law never looked at him with a defensive look in the Xie family.

But it didn't matter, he was here to help her.

After thinking it over again and again, he finally spoke in a gentle voice, "Sister-in-law, I know my eldest brother is infertile. I already know whose child Wanwan is."

"No matter how they forced you in the beginning."

"Now, if you compromise with them just for Wanwan to recognize her ancestors, I will also feel bad."

"You can tell me now if you are in pain. If you don't want to marry Xia Siheng, I will take you away!"

"Sister-in-law, I can help you."
