The abandoned wife married into a wealthy family, and the scumbag father wailed every night

"As a woman, the most important thing for you is to take care of your husband and children, and find a good husband to help the family. Even if our Zhou family is not doing well, it won't allow a woman like you to be exposed in public!"

"Besides, women are naturally weak. They are not as strong or as temperamental as men. Even if you become an official in the court, you can't compare to men!"

Lord Zhou had been in the government for many years, and his tone carried a convincing majesty, causing the onlookers to nod their heads continuously as they listened.

Yes! Yes! You are right!

Lord Zhou was already a little angry, and looked with disappointment at Zhou Nianchu, who was clinging to a tree without any image.

This granddaughter is useless, there is no way to arrange marriage!

The Zhou family had carefully raised her for many years, hoping that she would find a good marriage in the next two years. But now all her efforts have been in vain, which made Lord Zhou feel very sad.

Zhou Nianchu fought back without showing any weakness:

"Grandfather, what you said is wrong. Some men are strong, some are weak, and naturally some women are strong, some are weak. Who stipulated that only men can hold this position? There has never been a law since ancient times that stipulates this! Official positions should be held by those who are capable, otherwise where does the saying "women are as good as men" come from! In the previous dynasty, when the country was in danger, there was a female general who joined the army to fight the enemy in place of her father!"

Zhou Nianchu's voice was sonorous and powerful, and the onlookers nodded continuously after listening to it.

That’s right! That’s right!

Hearing this, Lord Zhou was furious: "There are very few women like that. How many can there be in this world? How can they represent ordinary women? The students, scholars, juren and jinshi in our Dadeng are all men. Have you ever seen any women?"

The onlookers were stunned by what they heard, it seemed like what he said was quite right!

"That's because women can't take the imperial examinations. Grandfather, it's a bit biased to make such a comparison!"

Zhou Nianchu retorted loudly!

right! right! right!

The people who had been persuaded by Lord Zhou sided with Zhou Nianchu like fence-sitters.

Xie Yiyao looked at those fence-sitters, who were generally ordinary people with little education, while those onlookers who looked like scholars were listening to the argument between Zhou Nianchu and Lord Zhou with frowns in deep thought.

Alas! Xie Yiyao sighed. It seems that reading more is a good idea. If you read more, you will have your own world view and thinking ability. At least you will not be easily fooled by others!

"It's pointless for you to keep on making such a fuss. If women can serve as officials, then why is there no precedent for women serving as officials in all dynasties? Besides, the imperial examination only existed during the reign of Emperor Taizu. Before that, there was no imperial examination, so there were no women serving as officials either, right?"

Lord Zhou had obviously run out of patience. Just then, several sturdy maids hurried over. For the sake of his granddaughter's reputation, he did not let the servant take Zhou Nianchu back home by force.

Now that the maid has arrived, he is too lazy to waste time talking to Zhou Nianchu, and with a wave of his hand he is about to forcibly take Zhou Nian back to the mansion.

Anyway, things have come to this point, so we might as well find her a marriage partner as soon as possible, otherwise, the more she rests, the more she will degenerate!

To be honest, seeing Zhou Nianchu arguing with him just now made him feel even more sad. If his sons and grandchildren could have the brains and talents of Zhou Nianchu, there would be no need to worry about the prosperity of his family!

What a pity!

Zhou Nianchu looked at the maids who were rushing towards her with a look of despair. She turned her head to look at her stepmother and Zhou Nian'an who were sneering at her, and then looked at her father who was staring at her with disgust.

She shed tears of despair. She could not step into the gate of Zhou Mansion again today, otherwise her second half of life would be worse than death. Her stepmother hated her to the core and would never find a good marriage for her.

Zhou Nianchu gritted her teeth and rushed towards the big tree she was hugging. She used all her strength just to die quickly!

Suddenly, Zhou Nianchu was taken away into a fragrant embrace. Her delicate and small face, cherry lips, beautiful nose, and watery almond eyes were staring blankly out of focus.

Xie Yiyao looked at the beauty in his arms and suddenly wanted to tease her:

"How is it? Pretty girl, you must be impressed by my handsomeness!"

Zhou Nianchu's originally dazed expression became even more dazed by Xie Yiyao's strange words, and he looked a little silly.

Xie Yiyao suddenly felt a little regretful. This girl seemed to be very eloquent just now, but now she looked a little silly. Could it be that she was too stimulated by her family and became stupid?

However, Xie Yiyao did not regret for too long, because Zhou Nianchu had come back to her senses. She looked at Xie Yiyao with some admiration:

"I didn't expect that the Queen is not only beautiful, but also has such skills. I am really envious!"

Zhou Nianchu actually didn’t care much about appearance. What she really envied was Xie Yiyao’s skills. If she had such skills, how could she be bullied to this extent by her stepmother.

But her Zhou family is a family of scholars, and even the men don't practice martial arts, let alone a woman like her.

"That's easy. Just follow me and I'll teach you martial arts."

Xie Yiyao answered with a smirk on her face, and used her hand to hook Zhou Nianchu's chin as described in the drawing book, playing the image of a domineering CEO perfectly.

Feng Junyi couldn't bear to watch, and reminded Xie Yiyao who was deeply immersed in her acting:

"Let's get Miss Zhou's leg treated right away."

After being reminded by Feng Junyi, Xie Yiyao patted her forehead and said awkwardly:

"Sister Zhou, please bear with me. I will fix your dislocated bones for you."

After Xie Yiyao finished speaking, she looked at Zhou Nianchu and thought for a while, then grabbed Feng Junyi's arm and handed it to Zhou Nianchu, "If it hurts a lot, bite him!"

Zhou Nianchu was shocked. How could this be possible?

Men and women should not touch each other, and the man in front of her is the emperor, so how could she blaspheme him!

The expression on Feng Junyi's face is hard to describe. This girl is really rude. Doesn't he feel pain?

Just when Zhou Nianchu didn't know how to react to Xie Yiyao's words, she suddenly felt a pain in her leg and was about to scream when she found that her leg was healed!

In fact, when Xie Yiyao asked Zhou Nianchu to bite Feng Junyi, she didn't really want her to do that. She was just joking with her to distract her attention.

Everyone in the Zhou family and the onlookers were staring in amazement at the sudden appearance of Feng Junyi and Xie Yiyao.

"The Queen's medical skills are truly extraordinary!"

"Our queen is truly the Bodhisattva Avalokitesvara who saves people from suffering!"

Xie Yiyao received the praise from the people with a happy face. She didn't know if it was an illusion, but she found that as long as someone praised her, her spiritual roots seemed to get better.

After Xie Yiyao cured Zhou Nianchu's leg, she looked at Lord Zhou with a stern face. Her expression changed so quickly that Zhou Nianchu couldn't react.

"Mr. Zhou, women are physically weaker, but being an official is not like carrying sandbags. It tests your brain, not your physical strength. Is Mr. Zhou saying that you officials are brainless?"

Xie Yiyao looked at Lord Zhou with a threatening expression. Lord Zhou broke out in a cold sweat after hearing what Xie Yiyao said. If he admitted today that being an official did not require brains, he would definitely suffer the consequences.

But if he agreed with Xie Yiyao's words, it would be tantamount to approving her absurd act of allowing women to serve as officials. Lord Zhou didn't know how to answer for a moment.
