Chapter 108: Heresy
[Bah! You scumbag, you're such a good actor! Did you cry like that when you pushed Miss Bai off the cliff?]
"If you have the guts, you can keep pretending for the rest of your life! As soon as your father-in-law and mother-in-law died, you immediately planned to kill your wife. What's the matter? Are you afraid that your mother-in-law will be reincarnated too quickly and Miss Bai won't be able to catch up and they won't be able to be a family anymore?"
[He took advantage of the incense burning period to arrange a trip with someone to see the maple leaves. He then took the opportunity to take the person to a secluded location and pushed her off a cliff. He then lied to the public that Miss Bai had fallen off the cliff. He then openly took over the Bai family's assets and married his second wife after only three months of mourning.]
If it weren't for the constraints of etiquette and the fact that Li Zha Zha still had some dignity, he would have been able to bring his second wife into the family the day after the funeral.
Chu Liuzheng quickly read through Li Youcai's love history and couldn't help but curse in his heart.
What the hell is this disgusting statement? Li Zhazha, you old fool! You're so lucky to have given birth to a child for you, yet you're so disgusted by your son being a fool that you're embarrassed. You think it's all your second wife's fault and you're taking concubines... Ugh! All excuses! Can't you have some common sense? Don't you know that egg quality is relatively stable, while sperm quality is unstable?
[Your son is stupid because you, a scumbag, stayed up late drinking and ruined your body without preparing for pregnancy. Replace him with a young, strong man who doesn't drink or whore around. I guarantee you'll have a smart and healthy child!]
Xiao Jingfan was so excited that he wanted to cover his ears. He suddenly heard two strange words and couldn't match them with the specific characters.
What does it mean that the problem with the child is caused by the father and not the mother?
Could it be that this woman made this up because she hated Li Youcai's evil deeds of defrauding money and killing his wife?
No wonder Xiao Jingfan was suspicious.
After all, throughout history, most men are ashamed to admit that they have problems with certain abilities, so it is the woman's fault if she cannot have children, and it is also the woman's fault if the child she gives birth to has problems. This even puts an ominous stigma on the child's mother, causing the woman who has endured the pain of childbirth to have to endure the pain of being rejected or even divorced by her husband's family.
How many women have become disheartened and, left with no other options, have chosen to hang themselves?
These are rarely recorded, and even if they are, they are simply brushed aside with the word "ominous".
The deeply rooted ideas made it difficult for Xiao Jingfan to believe that all this was wrong.
But considering that Chu Liuzheng had never acted without a purpose before, Xiao Jingfan thought about it and decided to summon Wu Yuanshi to ask him after the matter of Jinxiu Pavilion was settled.
Population growth is particularly important for national prosperity. Between a healthy and intelligent baby and a baby born with problems, the former is naturally more beneficial to the country.
Xiao Jingfan stroked the Bodhi beads on his wrist and thought deeply for a moment.
And Li Youcai's performance continues.
"My first wife was so kind and devoted to me, but she passed away unexpectedly, leaving behind only my son Wangyuan. He is my life!"
[Bah! Li Wangyuan is clearly the son of the second wife. You're a cowardly scumbag who only bullies the weak. Because of the threats of violence from the second wife's seven brothers, you dare not even mention his name. Are you afraid that the nightmare of being beaten and unable to have children will happen again?]
[You, a scumbag, are a domestic abuser. I have my brothers to back me up, but I'm not as vulnerable as Miss Bai, who's all alone and helpless. After getting beaten, I immediately ran back to my parents' house to file a complaint. After a group of people beat me up, I finally divorced you. Even the government said it was a family matter and wouldn't pursue it.]
Chu Liuzheng complained in his heart that Li Youcai bullied the weak and feared the strong. On the other side, Li Youcai fell to the ground and cried bitterly, his voice was very sad.
"My son may be foolish, but he has a kind heart and has never hurt anyone. But now he has been harmed by a vicious woman like you. Even if I die, I will seek justice for him!"
[Frog Fun! You scumbag, have some shame! Your son beat six maids and two wives to death, and he often whipped the slaves for fun. To call him cruel and tyrannical is an understatement; he's completely disregarding human life! Please, spare me the word 'pure character'! If words had spirit, I'd slap you in the face!]
Zhao Yue was also shocked by Li Youcai's shamelessness.
She only knew that Li Youcai was shameless, but she didn't know that his shamelessness had no bottom line.
If she had not been agile and quick to dodge on the wedding night, it would have been her instead of Li Wangyuan who died.
"Your Majesty, he's lying!"
Zhao Yue knew who was in charge, so she didn't argue with Li Youcai about who was right or wrong. Instead, she said to Xiao Jingfan, "Li Wangyuan is a tyrant by nature, and enjoys beating people for fun. As far as I know, Li Wangyuan has five lives on his hands..."
"You're talking nonsense!" Li Youcai interrupted her hastily. "Those are just slaves. They disrespected my son, and he was only using the family rules to punish the servants. It's their own bad luck. What does it have to do with my son?"
Zhao Yue glared at him with blazing eyes. "Beating and killing slaves had nothing to do with him, but what about killing wives? Both the first wife and the second wife you married him were beaten to death by him!"
"Don't slander me! How could my son kill his wife?" Li Youcai argued confidently. "A man should discipline his wife. They knew they were wrong and committed suicide out of shame. How can you blame my son for that?"
[Fuck! They're confusing right and wrong. How shameless!]
"Shameless scum!" Princess Gaochang was furious when she heard this. Her eyebrows raised and she stood up with a slap on the table.
Everyone looked over and their eyes fell on the long table, even Xiao Jingfan was no exception.
The long ones didn't move at all.
Everyone waited for a while, but when they saw nothing, they looked away with regret.
Princess Gaochang rolled up her sleeves and prepared to strike someone, but the maid quickly pulled her sleeves down and grabbed her tightly, whispering, "Princess, please think about the emperor and don't fight!"
But even the smallest sound was not considered small at this moment, and was heard by everyone, and their expressions suddenly became subtle.
Especially Wei Mingliang and Yin Taiyu, they looked at Xiao Jingfan secretly with a bit of sympathy in their eyes.
——Taking such a fierce woman into the harem will surely lead to chaos and unrest.
While Xiao Jingfan was thinking about how Emperor Gaochang raised such a princess, Chu Liuzheng quickly flipped through the history of Princess Gaochang's fights.
[Wow, wow, you're worthy of being called the Hercules Princess, your battle record is impressive! She can take on a hundred enemies alone. I wonder if the delicate bodies of the concubines in the harem can withstand a few blows. Isn't this palace fight where you cheat me and I cheat you going to turn into a full-scale fight?]
[Hmm… a bunch of beauties rolling up their sleeves, pulling hair and clothes, and beating each other until they're bruised and battered. Oh my! The scene is so beautiful I can't even imagine it.]
Xiao Jingfan: "..."
I see you're having a good time.
[What a shame! If the Hercules Princess were a man, he could have used his strength to fight and conquer the enemy, but as a girl, she is trapped in the harem, wasting her talents and years.]
Chu Liuzheng looked through the system.
Only two female generals emerged in the history of Dasheng: one from the Duke of Zhao's mansion and one from the common people. Both eventually married and had children.
After reading the life stories of the two female generals and seeing that their later years were not happy, Chu Liuzheng couldn't help but sigh.
[Alas! This world is so unfair. Men are supposed to achieve great things, but women are considered heretics. No matter how capable a woman is, she will eventually return to the inner chambers and be trapped in her own little world.]
She sighed several times in her heart, which made Xiao Jingfan frown.
When it comes to being unorthodox, this woman is second to none.
Which ordinary woman would dare to curse the king and tyrant in her heart, criticize the ministers at will, and want the woman to step out of the harem to make achievements and support the woman to become the emperor?
If those great scholars knew about this, this woman would either be drowned in spit or forced to death by the people of the world.
