Chapter 470 Please help me once, father
She didn't know what she was thinking about, and suddenly smiled.
"You don't know how desperate I felt when I first woke up and looked at the world.
I actually shouldn't belong here. There are so many things in this world that I can't stand.
The poor material conditions and the spiritual chains that bind my soul layer by layer are not only the pain brought by the troubled times, but also the shackles that exist in this world that make it difficult for me to move forward.
I think you probably don't know what I'm talking about, but I know what I want and I've been working hard for it.
Finally, after groping in the darkness with many people for a long time, I finally seemed to see a little bit of light, which made me particularly excited.
I feel like I know what I am here to do in this world, even if I fail in the end?
I'm willing to give it a try too.
Let the world know that there was a person named Jiang Wan who had been here before."
Qin Zhenning really couldn't fully understand what his daughter was saying, but he habitually felt sorry for her, so he was willing to look at the world from her perspective.
After a long silence, his voice became soft.
"You want to turn the world upside down?"
"That's not my intention. I don't even have any ambition to become queen. I just want to make this unfair world a little fairer.
Of course, this is not something I can do alone. Fortunately, I am not alone in this journey, as there are many fellow travelers.
I hope this will continue to develop slowly, ten, twenty, fifty, or even a hundred or two hundred years from now. There will be no baby girls left in the abandoned baby tower, and no bones beneath the wedding gowns.
Every woman born into this world can have more choices within the limited options available to her, rather than being forced to live a virtuous life according to the so-called "Three Obediences and Four Virtues" prescribed by men.
A tear suddenly flashed in her eyes.
"I never said this out loud because I knew I was a monster to the world.
When I was young, my mother always warned me again and again.
Wanjie'er, take care of yourself.
She knew I was a monster, but she really loved me, so she tried her best to lock me by her side with a gentle lock.
I couldn't bear to make her sad and frightened, so I tried hard to convince myself.
I want to be well.
To be a qualified eldest daughter of the Jiang family, she must be virtuous and kind, just like the eldest daughters of other families.
But later, I met Li Chengxiu.
He wasn't as smart and capable as his brothers, and had even been a fool since childhood. But he truly loved me. He knew Jiang Wan wasn't good enough, but he was willing to protect her.
He also knew what kind of monster I was, and how much rebellion against this world lay within me. Yet, you see, he still shared his most exalted authority with me, allowing me to use his power to gradually realize my ambitions.
Qin Zhenning was unwilling to be persuaded. He was reluctant to let his daughter take such a big risk.
"You're just trying to convince me."
"No, I'm begging you."
Jiang Wan walked over step by step, stroked his phoenix robe and knelt down respectfully.
"Please help me just once, Father."
Qin Zhenning's eyelashes trembled violently. He didn't dare to answer his daughter. He was not worthy of answering his daughter.
She wiped away the tears from her eyes, then pulled the child up from the ground. She bent down and gently brushed away the hair clinging to the hem of her skirt.
He heard himself say.
"Don't be afraid, I'm here."
"I'm not afraid, and I don't mean to embarrass you. I just want to ask you to introduce me to the lady."
Jiang Wan also blinked away the moisture in her eyes. If she hadn't really had no other choice, she wouldn't have the heart to embarrass her biological father to this extent.
"I have the leverage to negotiate with Madam Qin, but I must see her first. Could you please help me pass on the message?"
"good."
"Thank you, father."
“……….”
The sun quietly followed the Prime Minister all the way from the palace back to the Qin family. After watching the elegant middle-aged man kneeling in front of his mother and being slapped hard, it could only sigh and lie on the roof.
"You are truly a wonderful father to your daughter on Overlord Star, but you are clearly a debt collector from my past life!"
Madam Qin became angrier and angrier as she spoke, and raised her hand to hit him, but Qin Xiaochen, who was guarding the door, rushed in and stopped her.
"Grandma, please calm down! You are old and anger is harmful to your health. Please calm down..."
"I can't eliminate even a little bit!"
Mrs. Qin slammed the table angrily, looking at her son with eyes full of anger.
"Qin Zhenning, even if you die here today, I will never agree to abandon my family and career to help your daughter from Overlord Star!
You want to leave the family, right?
Then just leave!
I will pretend that I never gave birth to you or raised you in this life, and I don't need you to repay me for raising me. As long as you don't use the name of my Qin family's direct descendant in public again, the relationship between you and me as mother and son will be renewed in this life.
Get out of here!
Madam Qin's words were already harsh, and in the past, Qin Zhenning would have kowtowed and left. But today, he knelt there as if rooted to his knees, refusing to budge.
"Mother, you can punish me or beat me, but please lend me the Patriarch's decree.
It is definitely not a loan for free. The Queen has ways to make money and to make the country strong and rich. She is just in a hurry now and has no time to relax.
"Once this storm is over, I will definitely give back to the Qin family double. The imperial examination system is about to be reformed, and there will be a need for talent everywhere. When the time comes, the Qin family's children will definitely be selected for official positions. I will use my position as prime minister as a guarantee..."
"What are you guaranteeing?"
Madam Qin snorted coldly.
"You also said that's all in the future, and there will be huge changes in the future!
Linyue has already taken action, can Dali just sit back and watch?
Once the emperor really leads the army to war, as long as there is even the slightest sign of decline, those in the capital will surely jump out and try to replace him.
If the Li family doesn't survive this, then not only will the imperial power be lost, but even their lives and property will be lost. By then, will your position as prime minister be considered a rare commodity?"
“So please think twice, mother.
The Qin family is now in the best position. No matter which family comes to power, the situation will not be better than it is now.
If we don't support the Queen with all our strength now, who else will we wait for?"
"Why should we risk everything in our family fortune to support the Queen? Who is she to us?"
Madam Qin is really calm. When faced with major events that concern the entire family, she is a true helmsman of the family.
"Only third-rate families with nowhere to retreat would do something like betting. Although our Qin family is not a top-tier family, we have the foundation to survive the turbulent times. Why would we take such a risk?"
"How about to take it a step further?"
Qin Zhenning raised his head and looked at his mother.
