Chapter 465: The problem is not the scarcity but the inequality
Now no matter how hard he struggled, he made himself more messy than ever before, and the skirt of the girl who loved cleanliness was covered with dust.
She was just being stubborn and keeping the secret for the master behind her.
Minister Cao didn't understand. As a lady from an aristocratic family, she had everything she wanted.
The little prince is not a boy, so how can he be promised to her the position of crown princess?
What on earth could make his daughter, who is surrounded by gold and jade, swear allegiance to him until death? Could it be some kind of demon or ghost that uses evil magic to deceive people?
If you don't explain...
Minister Cao had a slightly sinister look on his face.
"Second Mother, if you don't tell me, don't blame me for not caring about family affection."
"The honor of the family must not be betrayed."
Madam Cao, who was tied up and kneeling on the ground, raised her chin. Her hair, which should have been neatly combed, was hanging down in front of her eyes.
Although her appearance was damaged, her integrity was not lost.
This is a forbidden area in the mansion. They have never been allowed to enter. Today she finally came in as a prisoner.
He opened his dry lips and asked, "Family honor?"
"What does it have to do with me?"
"You have no son, so support your nephew."
Madam Cao laughed.
"Among all our daughters, we can't even pick one who is smart and clever. Can they become great?"
"The only spot in our family to attend Hongwenguan was given to an outsider. From the beginning, we were not able to receive any support from the family."
Minister Cao frowned.
"You are simply unreasonable. You are so fussy about a small matter that you even become obsessed with it and don't even care about your own roots?"
"Besides, everything you eat, wear and use was given by the Cao family."
"Compare yourself with the servants and common people. Let them live the life that you think is miserable, and see who is not grateful and happy like a god."
So how can someone who lives in wealth and luxury because of his family feel resentful?
Minister Cao didn't understand.
But Madam Cao didn't understand. She sneered and said, "Why should I, the daughter of the Cao family, compare myself with servants instead of my cousins who are also his descendants?"
"Yes, I was born in the Cao family and enjoyed wealth and honor, but my father was a high-ranking official with unrivaled talent. Don't you understand what it means to 'not worry about the lack of wealth but the inequality of wealth'?"
Many conflicts between families in the world are caused by the favoritism of the elders.
“I have heard that those who have a country or a family do not worry about scarcity but about inequality, and do not worry about poverty but about insecurity. For equality does not lead to poverty, harmony does not lead to scarcity, and security does not lead to inclination.”
“…”
Minister Cao had a headache about his ignorant and rebellious daughter.
He held back his anger and said, "I have clearly explained to you that you were still young at that time, and the court did not allow women to serve as officials."
"By the time you get excited, your cousin will have graduated from the Hongwenguan."
"What are you, a little girl, competing with your brothers?"
Mrs. Cao, who had been calm about her death, suddenly started to struggle and shouted at the top of her lungs: "So you're still asking why I helped her? Isn't it obvious enough?"
"Did I betray my family? My family never took me seriously. You all treated me like an object!"
"A pet that only needs to be virtuous and obedient!"
She once resented and blamed herself, wondering why she didn't have a son, so that her father wouldn't be so heartbroken and her mother wouldn't have to take medicine all day long to have a child.
Later she realized that it was not her fault, but the world's fault.
After a lot of effort, she finally got what she thought she would never get in her entire life—her savior.
Maybe in her heart, she is just a chess piece.
