"But in the Yihe tribe, they treat us as human beings. The best food and drink are given to women first. The best houses are for women to live in. Even the people they sleep with are chosen by women."
"Of course, this is indeed unequal, but at least they recognize the reproductive value of women, which is much better than many beasts in human form out there!" As she said this, Jiaojiao glared at Shen Yuming again.
"This isn't hell, it's clearly paradise!"
"Let's talk about chastity." Jiaojiao took a half step forward and rolled her eyes at Chen Yuming with disdain. "When a man has three wives and four concubines, why doesn't anyone mention chastity?"
"I know sharing wives is wrong and shouldn't be justified, but how can so-called chastity only bind women? We're clearly living well in the Yihe tribe, but just because we have so many men, we become pitiful and pathetic. Isn't this absurd?"
In fact, Lin Chunhuan could vaguely sense that there was something wrong with Jiaojiao's words, but after thinking about it carefully, he could not find any reason to refute it, so he confirmed it with Chang Huaijin.
It is said that the Yihe tribe will not let them go, but in fact most of them are unwilling to leave.
"Those girls were either about to be sold by their families or divorced by their husbands. They were on the verge of death. If they left there, they would have no other choice but to become prostitutes." Chang Huaijin exhaled, "Jiaojiao is right. They don't need anyone to save them."
After getting the correct answer, Lin Chunhuan nodded silently.
She felt that such news should make people happy, but she couldn't laugh at all. She just sniffed and looked at Shen Yuming, "What about him?"
"How to deal with this person?"
"I'll listen to you." Chang Huaijin laughed, "Actually, Ah Huan doesn't need to worry too much about this person. It doesn't matter whether he is Shen Yuming or Shen Yuming who has been reborn once."
Lin Chunhuan turned her head and looked at Chang Huaijin in surprise, but he gently pinched her fingers, "Ah Huan, I just want to make you happy, everything else is not important."
Shen Yuming ultimately did not survive.
If he had not instigated the Yihe people and told them that Princess Fu'an's escape from the marriage was a signal that the court was about to take action against them, only by capturing Lin Chunhuan could they have bargaining chips with the court.
If it were not for this, Chief Yihe would not have thought of capturing Lin Chunhuan.
For the Yihe people, whether or not she is a royal lady is not important at all. They just want to reproduce, let their bloodline be passed on, and no longer allow children with strange looks to be born into this world.
That's all.
So let alone a hundred good girls, even if they could only give ten more, so that more men could have families, the Yihe people would be willing to do so.
After knowing that he had been deceived, Shen Yuming was sent back to the Yihe tribe and allowed to die quickly, which was considered the mercy of the tribe members.
Whenever the clan leader thought about how this man's provocation almost caused them to anger the imperial court and bring about a terrible disaster and a catastrophic catastrophe, he could hardly suppress his anger.
As for Princess Lingyan.
Before giving birth, Lin Chunhuan suggested going back to Kyoto. Although everything Cangjian Villa had prepared for her was the best, she would still feel more at ease in a familiar environment.
Chang Huaijin never knew how to refute his daughter-in-law's words, so he naturally agreed.
On the way back to Beijing, Lin Chunhuan visited the fiefdom of the Yihe tribe.
Chief Yihe was a burly man with such a thick beard that his face was almost invisible.
When he saw Lin Chunhuan, his eyes were full of excitement. After greeting her, he didn't even say a word of greeting. He quickly took out a thick stack of papers covered with densely written words.
"It's great that the princess has come at this time!" The clan leader's voice was like thunder.
If he spoke suddenly, it would startle Lin Chunhuan. Then, this rough-looking man would touch his head embarrassedly and deliberately slow down his tone. "It just so happens that our Yihe tribe wants to implement a new marriage system, and I'm worried that I have no one to discuss it with."
"The princess has seen a lot of the world, please help me take a look!"
This person was really rude. He didn't even let the visitor drink a sip of water before he started doing things. Lin Chunhuan found it strange and actually picked up the papers and started reading them.
However, the more she looked, the more serious her expression became. In the end, it took her more than half an hour to put down the things in her hand, and she rubbed her eyes with a little fatigue.
"The clan leader wants to change the system of communal wives into a family system?"
"Yes!" When talking about serious matters, the tribe leader's expression became very serious, looking like an angry lion. His aura was not as calm and domineering as Sheng Huang's, but he was decisive and ruthless, making people dare not challenge his edge. "My people have done many wrong things in the past."
"The current situation is the price we should bear."
The patriarch looked at Lin Chunhuan with bright eyes.
She had never seen such clear eyes on an adult's face.
"But the children are innocent. Being born with a disability is too cruel for them. We can't let the children bear the consequences of adults' mistakes. I know I've wronged those girls, but we...there's nothing we can do."
Lin Chunhuan nodded. She didn't agree, but she could understand.
"But in recent years, I've discovered that this model of sharing a wife can make people sick. Luckily, the Prince Consort came to visit us a few months ago and introduced us to the miracle doctor from the Miracle Doctor Valley. Only then did we realize that this type of union can make people sick."
"So, I came up with this idea. It's still not enough, but... I can't let the girls get sick again."
Lin Chunhuan held the papers in his hands, feeling indescribable.
Taking the family as the unit, for example, if a mother has four sons, then these four sons will marry the same wife and thus form a family.
And in this family, all income will be controlled by women, and men are not allowed to covet other people's wives. I have to say, this model looks really familiar.
It's just that the genders are swapped.
Maybe, just as Jiaojiao said, this world is unfair, but at least in this place, they recognize the reproductive value of women and are willing to pay the price for it.
Putting down the things in his hand, and letting go of the last knot in his heart, Lin Chunhuan looked up at the clan leader and said, "It is their blessing to have a clan leader like you."
“This system still needs some improvement, but it’s generally feasible. If it can be implemented, I can go back and propose to my father to hold a large-scale wedding for the Yihe people.
Explain the new marriage system clearly. As long as you are willing to pay any money or other expenses, there may be someone willing to marry you without much resistance."
Hearing Lin Chunhuan's words, the clan leader's eyes brightened even more. He immediately stood up and bowed deeply in her direction. "If possible, I would like to thank the princess on behalf of all the clan members!"
