"It seems that the matter concerning Miss Chen has been resolved, and it appears to have been handled appropriately, but there are still some hidden dangers."
The servant's father was the second son of the mafia. With an eldest son above him who served as the family's face and a younger son below him who was favored by the mafia, the servant's father did not have a high status in the family. When he reached a certain age, he separated from the family and went to live on his own. Although he did not receive much, the servant's father was ambitious and made a living. After a few years, he had accumulated some wealth. However, life is unpredictable. The father had an accident while working and passed away.
The family fortune left by the father was enough for the next generation to live on, but the servant's uncle's life got worse and worse after the division of the family property, so he set his sights on the servant's family. At that time, the servant was not very old and had only one older sister. His mother was virtuous but also weak. As a result, most of the family property that the father had worked hard for was taken away due to the father's favoritism.
The livelihood of my family became a problem. If it weren't for my mentor seeing some potential in me and reducing my school fees, I could have become an official in the court.
The world was too difficult for women. My mother had nowhere to turn for help. My grandfather was an elder, and the pressure of filial piety weighed on my mother, so even if she wanted to, she couldn't.

Also, if a widow has children and does not remarry, she can inherit her deceased husband's estate. If she remarries, her estate will be inherited by her children... If there is an only daughter in the family, she can be registered as a female household. All female households can take in a son-in-law, and their family property can only be inherited by their blood-related children..."
What Chengfeng said was no small matter; it was originally Yinzhen's idea, so Yinzhen naturally looked very interested.
The others were a bit confused. It was just a small matter, how did it involve the law and even require allowing female households? What was going on?
Seeing the changing expressions on the faces of the group, Yinzhen asked, "What do the other ministers think?"
No one spoke, but most of them disagreed in their hearts.
“Since someone has spoken, I think Chengfeng is right. In that case, then…”
Before Yinzhen could finish speaking, someone couldn't help but interrupt.
