The prince did not make a big fuss when he went out. The identity of his car could not be seen from its appearance, and he was followed by several guards outside.

When walking through the busy market, you can hear the noise of hawking outside through the curtain.

This kind of worldly atmosphere is rare for people who stay in the palace all year round.

Knowing that Qiong Huaer liked it, the prince opened the curtain and watched with her.

There are storytellers in the teahouses on the street, and the ups and downs of their voices make people feel as if they are there.

The carriage moved very slowly.

Ji Qionghua stretched her head and occasionally, when she saw something interesting, she would instruct Mu Yue to buy it.

Her diet is still under special care. She is not allowed to eat many things and can only try them to satisfy her craving.

Ji Qionghua's hands were sticky as she gnawed on the candy man.

When she was considering whether to lick the sugar stains on her palms or let Mu Yue wipe her hands, the carriage braked suddenly.

Snap, snap!

There were two cheers coming from the carriage.

The first sound was when the candy figure that Ji Qionghua had not finished eating fell onto the carriage, and the second sound was when Ji Qionghua's sticky little hand covered the prince's cheek.

After the carriage stopped, Ji Qionghua struggled to sit up in the prince's arms.

Seeing the saliva on the other person's cheek and the half-smile on his face, Ji Qionghua raised her hand guiltily to wipe the other person's face.

However, this action only made the prince's handsome face even worse.

Feeling the stickiness and sweetness at the tip of his nose, the prince knocked Ji Qionghua's head and wiped it with a handkerchief.

[I really didn’t mean it this time. ]

Ji Qionghua shifted her gaze back and stiffened her neck to look at the prince.

Although she likes to play pranks sometimes, she dares to take responsibility for her actions.

This time it was really an accident.

"what happened?"

The prince did not pursue the matter, but asked outside. Now the carriage had completely stopped, and there was a loud noise coming from outside.

"Your Highness, there is a fight going on and the road is blocked. Do we need to take a detour?"

The groom outside answered in a low voice.

【Fighting? I love watching! 】

Ji Qionghua became excited. After she stretched out her hand and asked the prince to serve her, she lifted the curtain and stretched her head to look.

But what caught my eye was not something lively.

The little princess's delicate brows frowned and her expression suddenly turned cold.

The prince also looked over.

A few steps away from the carriage, a woman fell to the ground, covering her cheek with a sad look on her face.

There was a man standing next to her with a fleshy face. He walked up to her, pulled her hair and slapped her.

A man slapped a weak woman in the street and beat her with his fists and feet.

The woman's sleeves were pulled up, and her clothes were spread out on her chest, revealing some old bruises.

This woman has been experiencing violence.

The noise was quite loud and attracted many people to watch.

There were some people who tried to dissuade the man, but strangely, most people just stood by and watched.

This should not be the normal reaction of the people of Dachen.

The prince was also confused.

He was considering whether to ask the guards to stop it.

“How many times has this happened?”

A few people walked over to the carriage, whispering in groups of three or four.

"This is the tenth time, I can't count it anymore. It happens every few days." An old lady selling eggs responded.

She looked at the woman's miserable appearance and clicked her tongue.

"Bah, you bastard, you deserve it!"

With this attitude, could it be that the woman did something wrong to the man and was beaten up by him?

The prince's imagination ran wild.

"Don't get involved, or you'll be blamed."

Auntie Egg saw a stranger with a strange face and wanted to stop him, so she quickly grabbed the person.

"how you said that?"

The man asked curiously.

"Young man, these two people are selling tofu on this street. About ten days ago, they were just a little way ahead and saw the same situation."

"At that time, a kind-hearted person rescued the woman. In order to protect him, he was beaten. Do you know what the woman did in the end?"

"She said that the kind-hearted person was meddling in other people's business and deserved to be beaten."

"She also said that she was willing to be beaten by her husband and that no one else should interfere."

"What's even worse is that she turned around and extorted money from that kind-hearted person. If it weren't for the testimony of the people around her, that kind-hearted person would have been blackmailed."

The old lady spoke in foul language and was filled with indignation.

There are many cases of domestic violence.

There is nothing we can do if someone hides at home and cannot see it, but if someone sees this on the street, they will generally help.

But that woman has an unusual way of thinking, and good people with good intentions are not rewarded.

They don't want to get into trouble.

“And this isn’t the first time this has happened.”

"One is willing to fight, the other is willing to be beaten, we can just watch the fun."

The aunt seemed to understand the couple.

When the young man heard this, he was immediately glad that he was pulled back.

The prince was also surprised when he heard these words.

Are there people in this world who are willing to be beaten?

【Masochism? 】

Ji Qionghua looked through the crowd at the woman lying on the ground sobbing and found it hard to sympathize with her either.

Things like domestic violence did not have a good sentencing standard in her time, let alone in this old era when men were in charge.

But…there is also separation here.

If you really can't live together, you can divorce. If one party disagrees, you can submit the matter to the government for judgment.

There are many successful examples.

Many people live happily after remarrying.

If there are kind-hearted people willing to lend a helping hand during this period, it is still very easy to escape from the violent party.

This woman is.

[When she was beaten for the first time, the neighbor's sister helped her, and she turned around and said that the neighbor had taken a fancy to her husband and wanted to seduce him.]

[The second time was on the street, she was beaten half to death, and a good person reported it to the police. When they got to the government office, she turned around and said that the person who reported it had beaten her husband.]

[The third time, a wealthy lady saw her and helped her out, saying she was willing to help her get a divorce. She thought the lady was showing off her wealth and looked down on her, so she slut-shamed the lady when she got home.]

【…】

There are so many things like this that it would take a long time to list them all.

Ji Qionghua flipped through the records, his expression becoming increasingly cold.

She could clearly escape the abuse, and someone was willing to help her move to another place and make arrangements for her future life.

But she herself doesn't want to.

She felt that she was attracted to her husband who had accomplished nothing and only knew how to live off his parents and beat women.

[After so many times, people here are no longer surprised. ]

[It happened every two or three days, and gradually no one intervened. ]

[The pain from the beating was even worse, and she felt that the people were indifferent and heartless. No one helped her even though she was like this.]

[If you ask me, respect the fate of others, let go of the desire to help others, and avoid being moved by yourself. ]

[Respect, bless, lock them up, don’t let these two evils enter the market and harm people again. ]

[The rest of the people are not guilty of this! ]
