Yan Shiyue motioned for the shadow guard to go and take a look, while silently patting her back.
The woman cried, "I want a divorce! Lady Fu! I want to divorce that beast!"
Hmm? If you have such courage, you are worth helping. Yan Shiyue nodded: "Okay."
The woman was delighted, and she grabbed her hand tightly, begging, "I just want to take my aunt with me... When I asked for a divorce, he scolded me for not being a faithful wife and locked me up for three days. My aunt almost starved him to death! I begged him to come to the academy, and he finally agreed... I, I just want to kill this demon, I hate it! I hate it!"
Someone suddenly burst into tears.
Then more than one person cried out loud.
Someone knelt down with a plop: "Empress Fu! My husband has also been bewitched by this Qi Yunduan. We used to be a harmonious couple. Now, I kneel day and night, and my legs are about to break. I never get a good look from my husband... My child, my child, I haven't seen him for a whole year! A year!" She burst into tears.
Another person said, "She is just a little devil who specializes in seducing people! What kind of woman is she? She just wants to catch a rich husband for herself! If you don't believe me, go ask how many people in the academy in front of you are still thinking about this devil! When she sent us here, she also told us to learn to be like her!"
Qi Yunduan knelt down tremblingly: "I am innocent! Unjust!"
Someone spat at her at the time: "What an injustice! You are just a shameless bitch!"
...
...
She knelt down and pointed at her: "Mrs. Fu, please understand! This veil of hers is specially made! Whenever she sees a young man in luxurious clothes, she pulls the string and pretends to accidentally reveal her face, giving people a glimpse of her beauty. Isn't she always thinking about it!"
Yan Shiyue turned around and ordered, "Call Governor Liu over to me."
At the same time, he said to Qi Yunduan: "Show it to me?"
Qi Yunduan was shaking like a sieve, and Yan Shiyue's face darkened: "Do you think I'm kidding you?"
Qi Yunduan shuddered all over and had to stand up tremblingly. He put his hand on the back of the veil hat, and the thin silk half hung on the brim of the hat, revealing a stunning face.
Immediately, several women started to curse angrily: "No wonder! No wonder we always hear people say that her veil fell off accidentally! It turns out that it's all fake! What do you mean by accidentally? She's just being a slut!"
Someone was about to pounce on her and beat her up, but Yan Shiyue waved her hand: "Don't worry, come here, and you too."
Shen Ruyi trembled like a sieve: "Your Highness... Your Highness, this old servant once served the Queen Mother, yes..."
"Hmm?" Yan Shiyue asked, "Aren't you the servant of Princess Mingzhu? How dare you bring yourself up with the Queen Mother at this time?"
Shen Ruyi didn't dare to say anything more and crouched down.
In fact, she had only served the empress dowager for a few years. If the superiors recognized them, they would give her a good face. If they didn't recognize her... she had no way to deal with this kind of master-servant relationship!
Yan Shiyue said, "Come here, I want to ask you, do you think you wrote this "Female Prohibition" correctly?"
Neither of them answered.
Yan Shiyue said: "Hurry up and tell me! Next time, don't make me ask twice!"
Qi Yunduan was still panicking, but Shen Ruyi had already understood the situation. With a sad face, she kowtowed and said, "Your Highness, it's all my fault... I only have this one granddaughter, and my family is in decline, so I want her to have a good reputation. Building bridges and roads costs money, and other things are not well-known. There happened to be a ready-made academy here, so I thought, I might as well open a girls' school, so that in the future, she can find a good husband and have someone to rely on for life..."
She didn't dare to look up, but seemed to be able to sense Yan Shiyue's emotions. She gritted her teeth and continued, "I think no one will come to teach, so I might as well..."
She closed her eyes and said, "I have learned how to serve people since I was young, and I have taught many young girls. I thought it would be better to speak nicely and teach these people how to serve people. After all, it is their husbands who pay for it. If they serve well and their husbands are satisfied, more people will come naturally, and my reputation will spread."
She kowtowed repeatedly: "This old slave deserves death! This old slave deserves death!"
Everyone was stunned.
At this time, Governor Liu also hurried in, his face full of hidden dissatisfaction. He glanced at her and raised his hand and said, "Prime Minister."
Is this a show of force to intimidate her?
Yan Shiyue sneered: "Lord Liu has such great authority, but he doesn't even know how to show courtesy?"
Governor Liu turned pale, and Yan Shiyue pointed at the door: "Go back and start over!"
Governor Liu was stunned. He immediately broke out in sweat. How could he forget that this woman had always acted wickedly and dared to deal with anyone. Even her backers didn't dare to provoke her, but she dared to show her a bad face. She was really tired of living.
He did not dare to say a word, retreated quickly, then ran back in, bowed respectfully, and said, "I am Liu Boping, your humble servant, and I pay my respects to the Prime Minister!"
Yan Shiyue fanned herself without saying a word.
The room was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop. Governor Liu buried his head on the ground and even held his breath.
After a while, she didn't call out, but just asked: "Do you know about this academy?"
Governor Liu raised his head and was about to reply when he heard her coldly say, "You know it but indulge it, which is vicious and ignorant. You don't know it, which is stupid and incompetent."
Governor Liu was about to cry, and could only say, "Your subordinate... Your subordinate knows something."
"You know, right?" Yan Shiyue sneered, "You know, and then you indulge me. Why? Do you think I taught you well? Did your wife and daughter learn it?"
Governor Liu hesitated for a long time before he could only say, "That book does have some good points."
Yan Shiyue smiled and said, "So, your wife and daughter also kneel before you every day?"
She smiled and leaned forward: "Well, Lord Liu, your life is much more glorious than my father's!"
As soon as these words came out, Governor Liu turned pale with fear and kowtowed: "My humble subject is foolish! My humble subject is foolish! Your Excellency, spare me! Your Excellency, spare me!"
"Wait!" Yan Shiyue said, "You guys, come behind me."
A group of women were hiding in the corner trembling with fear. When she said that, they looked at each other hesitantly, and then slowly walked behind her. Yan Shiyue said to Governor Liu: "Apologize to them."
Governor Liu bowed deeply without saying anything and said, "I have failed to supervise you and have caused you trouble. Please forgive me."
No one dared to say anything, but one person said, "Snakes and rats belong to the same nest!"
"That's right!" Someone else said, "I heard that Erlang from the governor's family is also chasing after Qi Yunduan every day!"
"What do you mean by virtuous and kind? You're just hanging out with other men every day!"
Governor Liu was sweating profusely.
The shadow guard came in hurriedly and reported: "We found Zhou." He pointed at the woman in green. "The body of her second wife was also found. Her eldest wife has been sent to the hospital. Her husband has been arrested."
Yan Shiyue asked the woman, "Do you really want to divorce your husband? Have you thought it through? Do you regret it?"
