During the meal, Song Yaoyao and Chen Yixiao talked about the traditional bride-kidnapping festival and the tragedies that Guagua had told her...
After hearing this, Chen Yixiao said angrily:
“If you hadn’t told me, I wouldn’t have known there was such a custom.
How can this be considered a custom? It's simply a bad habit.
If it weren't for this bad habit, you wouldn't have been arrested.
Fortunately you are okay.
I will issue a decree shortly to abolish this custom."
Song Yaoyao nodded with satisfaction:
"I think so too. This custom is really harmful to people."
…
It took more than an hour for Song Yaoyao to leave the palace.
The next morning, notices canceling the Bride-Kidnapping Festival were posted throughout Suyu City.
The crowd was in an uproar, and many people cheered!
Many people have suffered greatly from this. Now the country has finally banned the practice of kidnapping brides on the Bride Kidnapping Festival. Anyone who dares to kidnap a bride on purpose will be executed without mercy!
Many people with the surname of Qi went to the gate of the palace to kneel down and express their gratitude!
Chen Yixiao had never expected that issuing such an edict would cause the people of the Zhou clan to take such actions!
At the same time, Chen Yixiao also sent people to quickly deliver this imperial edict to other state and county government offices.
The people of these states and counties soon got the news. They cheered and kowtowed towards the capital!
Some people even celebrated spontaneously, and the scene was as lively as the Chinese New Year.
After this incident, the people of the Zhou clan became even more optimistic about the current imperial court.
Since the Tianfeng Kingdom came to power, it has introduced many policies that are beneficial to the Zhou family, and this time it has even banned bride kidnapping.
Because of this incident, the people of the Qi clan are even more supportive of the current court.
During this period, Song Yaoyao continued to patrol the streets every day as usual.
After Nian Xiaoqing's problem was resolved, Song Yaoyao relaxed a lot and was no longer as tense every day as before.
A few days passed in the blink of an eye. Song Yaoyao was patrolling the streets when she asked Gua Gua:
[Guagua, when will my grandpa and his family come? ]
Guagua: [Host, do you miss your parents? ]
Song Yaoyao: [Yes!
It's been more than a year since I last saw my parents, and I really miss them.
When Grandpa and the others arrive, I can hand over the entire defense of Suyu City to them, and I can retire with my achievements.
Guagua: [Calculating the time, your grandpa and the others will probably reach Suyu City in about twenty days.]
Song Yaoyao: [It still takes so long! ]
Gua Gua: [Your grandpa came with the army, and the soldiers are all on foot, so they are not that fast!
Wait a little longer! 】
Song Yaoyao nodded: [This is the only way.]
Guagua looked at Song Yaoyao's listless appearance and comforted her:
[It's been more than a year since I last saw your parents, so a few days won't make a difference.
Host, please hold on a little longer! 】
Song Yaoyao nodded: [I understand.]
Seeing that Song Yaoyao was still not in high spirits, Guagua said:
[Host, be cheerful. I'll find you a melon to eat.]
Song Yaoyao: [Okay.]
After a moment, Guagua's voice came out:
[Host, there is a big melon ahead.]
When she heard that there was some big news, Song Yaoyao felt that she was ready again.
Song Yaoyao sat up in shock from her dying illness and asked: [Where is it?]
Guagua: [It's not far ahead. Go to the end of this street and turn left. It's the third house.]
