I kicked out my vicious husband and married his great-uncle

Speaking of this, Cui Shuyan choked up a little.

The scene of the day when Madam Wen left seemed to appear before her eyes. At that moment, Madam Wen held Zhaodi in her arms, her eyes full of hope for a new life.

She was originally a daughter of an official family, but because of her father's corruption, she had no choice but to become Cui Shangjin's concubine.

When Cui Shangjin was alive, her life was still bearable, but after Cui Shangjin died, she was targeted by Madam Cui at every turn.

At that time, she must have thought that if she left the Cui Mansion, she could live the life she wanted.

In fact, at the beginning, she took the money Cui Shuyan gave her and rented a small shop to sell wontons, and she did live a comfortable life.

But after her business started to pick up, she was targeted. A hooligan broke into her room at night and tried to do something bad to her.

She was a weak woman and had no way to resist such a scoundrel.

But who would have thought that after a while, she would develop a bad reputation for being unfaithful to her husband, and her business also suffered.

Madam Wen was a tough person. One night, she got the rascal drunk and wanted to run away with Zhaodi, but they were discovered.

The scoundrel pretended to throw Zhaodi to death in order to force Madam Wen to surrender. Madam Wen had originally promised not to run away again, but the scoundrel had been drinking and his hands were not steady. He was not paying attention and actually threw Zhaodi to death.

Madam Wen refused and dragged him to the government to sue him. But the scoundrel grabbed her hair and slammed her against the wall, dying immediately.

After hearing about Madam Wen's experience, the Queen was furious: "How could such a thing happen in my Great Qi?"

"That bastard has been detained. Before I asked about this matter, he was only sentenced to three months in prison. After I put pressure on him, he was sentenced to death. But this matter is far from over. Queen, to be honest, after this incident, I went to learn about the cause and effect of the matter in detail. It was then that I discovered that the reason why the bastard was not sentenced severely at the beginning was because Madam Wen was an illegal resident."

"Black household? What does that mean?"

"When Madam Wen entered the Cui Mansion, she had a contract to sell herself. When she left the Cui Mansion, I returned her contract to her. In this way, she was a free person and could register as a female household. However, the laws of the Great Qi Dynasty clearly stipulate that only women who have lost their husbands and have sons can register as female households in order to prevent their property from being seized by others. Therefore, in Madam Wen's case, she cannot register as a female household. If she cannot register as a female household, she will be an illegal household. It was precisely because that stinky hooligan knew that she was an illegal household and no one stood up for her when he went to the government that he bullied her so unscrupulously."

The Queen nodded, understanding: "So, you want me to suggest to His Majesty that this rule be changed?"

"No, the harem is not allowed to interfere in government affairs. You don't need to do anything about this. I want you to give the charity a name and use your influence as the queen to let women all over the world know that if they become lonely and helpless one day, at least there is such a place to go. With such a place, life will have more hope. At least, this will be a way to survive, and it will be a way to live well."

The queen suddenly realized what was going on. She thought for a moment and said aloud, "How about calling it Lishen Hall?"

"Good. That's an excellent name."

This Lishen Hall will become a place for women to stay, and then, step by step, become their place to establish themselves.

All of this is worth looking forward to after all.

"Are you planning to pay for the construction of the charity hall yourself?"

"Yes, but not entirely." At this point, Cui Shuyan's eyes revealed a bit of shrewdness, "Empress, think about it, this charity hall was named by you, and these noble ladies in the capital are all shrewd people. If they knew about it, how could they not donate generously?"

"That's true. Let's erect a monument at the entrance of the charity hall and write down the names of the donors. Then, when the time comes, why worry that they won't take out their best treasures?"

Who wouldn't be happy to spend some money to get a good reputation?

In this way, it can be considered as women helping women.

Hearing the queen's approval, Cui Shuyan was full of passion: "I hope this Lishen Hall can be opened in every corner of Da Qi as quickly as possible!"

"Yes!" the Queen replied with a smile.

The matter of Lishen Hall has been settled, and the remaining details need to be done bit by bit.

In the blink of an eye, it was already spring of the second year, and the Lishen Hall could be seen in more than half of the prefectures and counties in Da Qi.

During this year, Emperor Zhaowu's health was not as good as before due to the conspiracy he had committed against him by Concubine Xian. In order to avoid further trouble, and because Gao Mingche was very capable, he made him the crown prince.

Perhaps because he had a neglected childhood, Gao Mingche could understand the existence of Lishen Hall very well and provided many conveniences for its opening.

It was spring, and Cui Shuyan suggested going to the nearby Xishan Mountain for a trip together, and Xie Xingyuan and Luo Jinyu readily agreed.

At this time, Luo Jinyu was holding a chubby baby in his arms. It was the eldest daughter that Princess Heshuo had given birth to for him not long ago. Her nickname was Zhuzhu.

Zhuzhu is pretty and looks very much like Cui Shuyan. Luo Jinyu has been fond of her since she was born.

Sometimes he even carried her in his arms when he went to the government office. His colleagues said that he loved his daughter as much as his life and had completely lost his sense of propriety.

Luo Jinyu ignored all these discussions and continued to pamper Zhuzhu as always. She wished she could put all the good things in the world in front of her and let her choose.

This time when going out for fun, Luo Jinyu naturally couldn't bear to leave Zhuzhu with him.

It is spring, the grass is growing and the birds are singing, and the Western Hills are full of life.

After playing for a while, the group was tired and took a rest in a mountain temple halfway up the mountain.

Cui Shuyan felt a little sleepy, so she asked for a meditation room and planned to take a nap.

Xie Xingyuan was afraid that Ze'er and Xi'er would disturb her, so he took them both out.

After not being active for a while and climbing the mountain for such a long time, Cui Shuyan felt tired and sleepy and fell asleep quickly.

While she was sleeping, she saw her brother and Xie Xingyuan sitting on the main seat in the Xie Mansion.

The elder brother cried, "Your Highness, do you know that my younger sister is pregnant with your child? You faked your death and escaped, crushing the conspiracy of Concubine Xian and others, but my sister will never live again. She was thrown into a mass grave, and I didn't even find a piece of her body..."

On the main seat, Xie Xingyuan was shocked: "Are you talking about Cui Shuyan?"

"Yes, it was your poor niece's wife. She was mistreated by her scumbag father and stepmother before she got married. After she got married, she was used as a pawn by your Xie family. She never had a good day and finally lost her life in vain. But you, the person involved, didn't know anything about it, let alone that scumbag Xie Shaohang threw your son to death with his own hands."

For an instant, Xie Xingyuan seemed to be in deep shock, unable to speak for a long time, and he didn't even know when Luo Jinyu left.

It was not until Luo Jinyu had been gone for a long time that he came back to his senses and murmured to Mr. Wen who was standing behind him: "Go, set up a longevity tablet for Cui Shuyan and her son in the mansion. In the future, I will burn incense for her every day and make sure she does not lose the incense. I hope that after her soul returns to the underworld, she can be reborn soon, and have a long and worry-free life in the next life."

"Your Majesty, in whose name is the tablet erected?"

"In the name of this king..."
