"If that's what you're saying, then I won't even be able to stay as the third-in-command!"
"Miss Lin's abilities are evident to both of us. She is no less capable than any man, and in fact, she is stronger than all the men present!"
"So you have to be objective when you look at people. You can't look down on someone just because they're a woman, nor can you overestimate someone just because they're a man!"
Ji Wenxuan was so embarrassed by what he was said that he waved his hands repeatedly!
"That's not what I meant. I know you two are no less capable than men, but in this world, only men hold official positions; I've never heard of a woman holding one!"
That's why I had this feeling for a moment!
"This is not to deny your abilities!"
"You two mustn't overthink it!"
Lin Ru smiled at Ji Wenxuan, "Brother Ji, we two certainly won't overthink it, but you should think about it more. Just because we haven't seen a woman in an official position before doesn't mean we won't in the future!"
"The world is so big, there are all sorts of wonders!"
Just because you haven't seen it or heard of it doesn't mean it doesn't exist!
"Have you ever heard of women having a place in a mountain village?"
"The common thought is that she would be captured and made a bandit's wife, or at the very bottom of society, a servant who does laundry and cooks!"
"But the matchmaker did what others couldn't!"
"So I think you should broaden your horizons!"
After saying that, she quickly left the two of them!
The matchmaker rolled her eyes at him too!
"Miss Lin is absolutely right. You still have a lot to learn! Let's go, the boss is calling you!"
Ji Wenxuan had never thought about this before, but after you said that, he suddenly felt that he was a bit narrow-minded. Why must powerful people be men?
Why are capable women confined to the inner quarters of the house?
His mother was meticulous and good at managing business. She was also a famous talented woman in her youth, helping his father transform from a penniless scholar into the influential figure he is today!
In the end, he was betrayed. What if his mother had entered officialdom herself?
If that time really comes, he is certain that his mother will go further and achieve greater things than his father!
He only now realizes that his thinking from childhood to adulthood seems to have been wrong!
What if Lin Ru had the opportunity to enter officialdom?
Given her ruthless methods and decisive personality, it's not impossible for her to rise to a position second only to the emperor!
The matchmaker looked at Ji Wenxuan, who was deep in thought, and then at Lin Ru, who was talking to the minor official. She suddenly realized that this young girl, Lin Ru, was really unpredictable!
Meanwhile, the enigmatic Lin Ru is gathering information!
"Ma Mingjie! Have you met the prefect? What kind of person is this prefect?"
"How can his men be like a bunch of animals!"
Ma Mingjie felt a little embarrassed by the bright eyes of the little girl in front of him. Although her face was covered in black smear, as she moved, you could vaguely see her fair skin peeking out from her neck, revealing a hint of her beauty!
He lowered his head and replied in a low voice!
"The governor is actually a very good person, but he's famously afraid of his wife!"
"I don't know why he has such beasts under his command!"
"I simply don't understand why such a seemingly good prefect would issue such an order to conscript men, and without regard for the lives of the men's families!"
"I know too little about him; there's absolutely no way he could have done something like that. It must be his brother-in-law!"
"His brother-in-law is always causing trouble!"
Ma Mingjie became increasingly angry as he spoke!
"Every time he committed a bad deed, as soon as the prefect punished him, his wife would cry, make a scene, and even threaten to hang herself, making a scene known to everyone. The prefect had no choice but to give her a lenient punishment!"
Lin Ru was somewhat surprised!
"Does his wife have some powerful backer?"
"How can he be so powerful? Doesn't this prefect have any other concubines?"
"I don't know what kind of backing his wife has, but everyone knows that the prefect is afraid of his wife!"
"He doesn't have any other concubines. All the women in Shanping County want to marry a good husband like the governor!"
"Because the prefect's wife is not only very fierce, but she has also been married to the prefect for more than ten years without having any children!"
"However, it seems he has another villa outside, and he goes there occasionally. Each time he goes, he does so very discreetly, only sending a few trusted men with him!"
"Everyone says that must be the governor's treasure vault, but I wonder if there are any women inside!"
Lin Ru never expected that in this day and age, she would see an official who was afraid of his wife, and that this wife had no powerful backing. She didn't believe there was anything fishy going on!
Don't even mention it's because of love. Believing that a man can love a woman who only causes trouble and throws tantrums every day is less reliable than believing that a boar can give birth!
That kind of love only exists in Mary Sue/domineering CEO novels!
"Didn't the Commandant and the Prefectural Assistant try to stop the conscription of men?"
"Are we just going to let these people do this?!"
Ma Mingjie's eyes welled up with tears at the mention of the Commandant of the Prefecture!
"The Commandant has been sent out by the Prefect!"
"Two days ago, he said he received a distress call from Kangqu County. The prefect only gave him 400 soldiers and sent him out to rescue Kangqu County. He also told him to first suppress bandits in the vicinity before going there!"
"Kangqu County is now under the control of the Prince of Shun. All those who resisted have been killed, and the Commandant is most likely no longer a fierce man!"
"I know the governor definitely wants his brother-in-law to take over the position of Commandant, which is why he sent the Commandant out!"
"The captain is a really good person. He saved my brother's and my lives!"
"If it weren't for him, the two of us wouldn't be here. Today I know that if he were here, he would definitely oppose the governor's order!"
"He is the most upright person imaginable!"
"What a pity! I'll never see him again!"
At this point, he burst into tears!
Seeing the boy in such a state, Lin Ru felt a little bad.
Those in power fight and kill each other, but it is the ordinary people who suffer!
Nobody cares what the weak think!
No one cares about the lives of the weak!
Only by constantly striving to become stronger can you get what you want!
She took a handkerchief from her bosom and handed it to Ma Mingjie!
Then he patted him on the shoulder!
"Don't be sad! Crying is the most useless way to vent!"
"Only by becoming strong can you protect those who are good to you and avenge those you love!"
"cheer up!"
"Believe me, things will get better from now on!"
Holding the soft handkerchief in his hand, Ma Mingjie looked at the dazzling woman beside him with red eyes and asked cautiously, "Really? Will things really get better?"
"Can I really avenge the captain?"
