Zhang Qing looked at the man who claimed to be her father. Did he know how she, who had always been afraid of the dark, had spent those dark nights? Did he know how disappointed she was, from expecting her parents to take her back to never going to the village entrance to wait for them again?
However, Zhang Qing is too lazy to accuse him now, and just pretends that she has always been an orphan.
Zhang Hui's pale face turned bluish-purple, and his cold gaze towards Zhang Qing became somewhat unnatural and hesitant. However, when he thought of his father being angered to death by her, his heart hardened. "I gave birth to you, so I am your father! You have read so many books, don't you know that our bodies and hair are given to us by our parents, and the kindness of giving us life is greater than heaven!"
Zhang Qing said, "It's better not to have children than to give birth and not raise them!"
She said she only considered herself an orphan, but when faced with her father's relentless pressure once again, Zhang Qing's eyes still reddened a little. She had also tried to convince herself that it was her own fault that her grandfather had died and that her father treated her this way.
But he dotes on his two older sisters, so why can't he even glance at her and think of her for once?
Zhang Hui's face turned pale and then red. He couldn't do anything about his wife arguing with him, and his daughter didn't understand respect and confronted him coldly!
So there's a reason he doesn't like this daughter. He thinks it's better not to have a child than to give birth and not raise it. Other people's daughters are obedient to their parents, but his daughter has become their enemy!
His daughter is too unruly and audacious. When she was little, she talked about gender equality and that the world could exist without an emperor. Now that she's grown up, she's started a girls' school. If he lets her run wild, will she start a rebellion next?
Zhang Hui said no more. He was determined to take her back and lock her up today. He waved for the guards to make their move.
Madam Zhang arrived at this moment, squeezing into the courtyard and rushing between the guards and Zhang Qing. Zhang Hui, surprised, came over to pull his wife away. The Crown Prince and Tian Wanyin, along with their two daughters, protected Zhang Qing, and for a moment the entire courtyard was in chaos.
The transmission behind the millstone was quiet, and she finally found the passage about Zhang Qing's grandfather dying of anger when he was a child.
So that's how it is...
[Little Qing'er was still very much loved by her grandfather, who even personally taught her to read... One day, her grandfather was sullen, so Little Qing'er went over to ask him why he was unhappy. Her grandfather regretted that Little Qing'er was a girl, otherwise she would definitely be no less than her father in the future. Little Qing'er thought for a moment and then said that the current emperor was not good. If she were the emperor, she would promote gender equality, and officials would be appointed based on merit regardless of gender. She also imagined how the country would be governed and operated if there was no emperor, which would be similar to the republic of later generations...]
Upon reading this, Chuanwen couldn't help but glance at Zhang Qing, pondering: [Could Zhang Qing also be a time traveler from later generations?]
Ignoring that issue for now, Chuanwen continued reading, "[Besides gender equality and the republican system, Xiaoqing also pointed out several loopholes in the policies at the time. The old man was overjoyed after hearing this, and then he died of excitement due to his rapid heartbeat...]"
Zhang Hui, who was pulling Madam Zhang's arm, was stunned. Impossible! Before his father left, he was pointing at his youngest daughter with a flushed face, clearly looking furious!
[Is Grandpa Zhang even a fool? When the old man was on his last breath, he pointed at Xiao Qing'er and said, "Raise her well," but because his pronunciation was unclear, he heard it as "Throw her away and don't raise her anymore," ???]
Message: ......
He frowned and looked at Zhang Hui, "Grandpa, you should probably get your hearing checked sometime..."
Zhang Hui's face was filled with disbelief. Impossible... impossible!
When the old man heard what the servant had told him about Xiao Qing'er, he assumed that the old man was upset by his youngest daughter. He quickly grabbed the old man's hand and cried, "Father, I will definitely punish her severely!"
Upon hearing this, the old man exclaimed, "Who told you to punish her? I told you to train her properly!"
When the old man saw that the old man was getting agitated, he assumed that the old man was insisting that he throw away his youngest daughter. After all, his daughter had said so many outrageous things, and if word got out, his whole family would have a hard time. So he had no choice but to harden his heart and tell the old man that he would definitely send his youngest daughter away.
Then...the old man, barely clinging to life, died of anger...
Chuanwen sighed, saying, "How should I put it... the old man has had a tough time too."
The crown prince was stunned; the matter was actually like this...
Zhang Qing had already resigned from his official post and could no longer hear Chuanwen's heartfelt words, so he didn't know what had happened. He only saw Zhang Hui pause for a moment, then suddenly spit out a mouthful of blood and stagger down.
Madam Zhang, being a titled lady, naturally heard Chuanwen's innermost thoughts clearly and understood why Zhang Hui had vomited blood. This completely overturned their understanding! He, who had always hated his youngest daughter, suddenly realized that his so-called hatred was a joke, how could he not be devastated!
The entire courtyard descended into chaos again. Fortunately, there was a descendant of the Medical Sage present. The group hurriedly carried Zhang Hui into the house, and Tian Wanyin immediately administered acupuncture to stabilize Zhang Hui's pulse.
"He was just overwhelmed with anger; he'll be fine after some rest," Tian Wanyin said, looking at Madam Zhang and Zhang Qing. "He's suffered a series of blows and needs to recuperate properly afterward."
Madam Zhang nodded repeatedly, while Zhang Qing walked out of the house with a dark expression.
She was the one who got arrested, okay? The old man was the one who came looking for trouble, so why did he get so angry?
Zhang Qing sat down under the peach tree in the courtyard with a dark face. When she looked up, she met Chuanwen's gaze from behind the millstone. Seeing the troubled yet hesitant expression on Chuanwen's face, she asked, "Is there something you want to say to me?"
Chuanwen wanted to say that your grandfather wasn't angered to death by you, but by your hard-of-hearing father, but since she couldn't reveal the plot, she could only shake her head with a bitter face.
