Princess Changle gently patted Xu Jinyu's shoulder and said softly to her,

"Look how I deal with these people."

Princess Changle glanced at everyone very slowly, and finally set her eyes on Mr. Yu.

"Mr. Juren, do you want Li Niang to watch her mother die of illness bit by bit, and she just sits there and watches."

"How can it be!"

Mr. Yu retorted subconsciously.

"We, Daqian, govern the country with filial piety. This is extremely unfilial."

"Then did you give Li Niang money?" Princess Changle continued to ask.

"without·····"

Mr. Yu's eyes were wandering and he stammered, unable to speak.

Of course he didn't give it to her. What did the mother of a concubine have to do with him? Not only did he not give it to her, he also scolded Li Niang.

"Since you have sold it to the Yu family, just focus on how to serve me."

Everyone looked at Mr. Yu with contempt.

Although the concubine's mother is not a real relative, but her old mother is dying of illness, anyone with a caring heart would at least lend a hand.

Faced with everyone's contemptuous looks, Mr. Yu felt a little guilty.

"That Li Niang doesn't have to die, I can just sell her off!"

“Sure, sell it to me.”

Without giving Mr. Yu a chance to refuse, Princess Changle turned around and shouted,

"Pomegranate!"

Shi Liu came out from behind, threw a purse to Mr. Yu, then took people to help Li Niang up and left.

When she passed by Princess Changle, she struggled to kneel down and kowtowed to her: "Thank you so much, Princess, for saving my life. Li Niang has no way to repay you, but to be loyal to you."

Princess Changle waved her hand and said: "I don't need your loyalty. When your wounds are healed, go and take care of your mother first!"

[No! Li Niang's mother died a long time ago. Not long after Li Niang was sold to the Yu family, her mother was starved to death by her brother.]

"Women are not allowed to have private wealth! Li Niang can support her mother, but my Yu family's property has nothing to do with her."

The voices of Xu Jinyu and Yu Juren rang out at the same time, leaving Princess Changle stunned.

Princess Changle sneered: "My princess's mansion doesn't need your few taels of silver."

Princess Changle turned around and saw Xu Jinyu's sparkling eyes. She knew what that look meant without having to think about it.

[Princess Changle is mighty! ]

[Princess Changle is domineering! ]

[Princess Changle is the best person in the world! ]

[I, Xu Jinyu, applaud the seal and present it to Princess Changle. ]

Princess Changle expressed that she appreciated the straightforward compliment.

So Princess Changle turned around and said to the candidates present: "The fault in this matter lies mainly with Wang Xingzhou, and he should make up for it."

"I don't care how your Wang family compensates you, but if I find out that any woman present here has lost her life, I will hold your Wang family accountable."

Wang Xingzhou's father hurried over following the servant who brought the news.

He finally understood where the constipated expressions on his colleagues' faces came from these days.

Isn't it constipation?

I have such a big piece of gossip in my mind, but I can't tell it. What should I do if I don't feel constipated?

For several days, no one came to tell her about the good things her son had done.

Otherwise, what happened today would not have happened.

Not to mention his colleagues, as for his friends, he also has several good friends in the court.

No one revealed the news to me.

Princess Changle's words made him feel even more stagnant. How should he compensate them? Should he compensate those scholars or these women?

And what should be done with these women? If they are handed over to these scholars, they will be killed by them sooner or later.

By then, Princess Changle will cause trouble for him.

We can't let Wang Xingzhou take all of them as concubines, otherwise Wang Xingzhou's wife will be upset.

Old Man Wang said he had a terrible headache.

The most important thing is that the Wang family is going to lose all face this time.

With so many people here, including princesses and princes from the royal family, it is simply unrealistic to keep them silent.

But he still managed a smile on his face: "Princess Changle, rest assured, I will take care of the matter here."

"I also believe that Lord Wang will handle these matters well."

Princess Changle replied with a smile, but the threat in her words should not be too strong.

"Your Highness, can I sell myself to you?"

A woman with red and swollen face rushed in front of Princess Changle.

This woman was none other than Mr. Fang’s wife, Ms. Lu.

“Oh~~”

Princess Changle raised her eyebrows.

"As long as I am here, your husband and the Wang family won't dare to do anything to you. If you follow me, you can only be a slave, not a wife of a scholar."

"Would you like that?"

“Yes! I do!”

Mrs. Lu thought of the Fang family's ways of torturing people and shuddered.

They only had one meal a day, and the rest of the time they were watched and forced to work non-stop. If they were a little slow, they would be beaten and scolded.

It is not over yet at night. One has to recite and copy the female precepts until midnight before going to bed, and then get up before daybreak the next morning to continue working.

She once saw a woman from the Fang family who did not want to be a widow being tortured to death by the people of the Fang family.

After her death, they created a false image of her committing suicide by hanging herself, and then reported the incident to the court and asked them to build a chastity archway for her.

Anyone who doesn't want to be a widow will be tortured to death, but because of the princess's words, I, the one who is having an affair, cannot be killed.

But when it comes to torturing someone, the Fang family will never show mercy.

If Princess Changle forgets me one day, my death will be near.

It would be better to be a slave.

At least I can have enough to eat.

I have made a mistake now and I just want to survive.

Mrs. Lu hurriedly kowtowed to Princess Changle.

"Please take me in, Princess!"

Led by Mrs. Lu, the remaining women all ran to Princess Changle and begged for shelter.

Mr. Fang pointed at his wife, Mrs. Lu, and angrily said, "I didn't agree to it!"

Princess Changle's phoenix eyes flashed with coldness: "You have an opinion!"

Mr. Fang calmed down. He dared to vent his anger on his wife, but not on Princess Changle.

In this way, the wives and concubines of these successful candidates were all sold to Princess Changle's mansion.

Wang Xingzhou's father was spared a big trouble.

The money from selling one's body belongs to those scholars.

Because they were the wives of these scholars before they sold themselves.

On the carriage back home, Xu Jinyu remained silent as she looked through the laws of Daqian regarding women in the system.

[Women cannot have private property! This means that women cannot have even a penny on them.]

[What if I get sick and my husband doesn't give me money? I'll die of the disease even if I survive.]

[The lady's dowry belongs to her, but what about the ordinary people?"]

[And there are no female households in Daqian. ]

Xu Jinyu's thoughts struck Princess Changle's heart, causing her to fall into deep thought.

The next morning, memorials impeaching Xu Jinyu and Princess Changle flew towards Emperor Xuan's throne like snowflakes.

What is being said is that these two princesses did not follow etiquette, were bold and presumptuous, and stood up for unchaste women.

What could Emperor Xuan do?

One is his own sister, and the other is Daqian’s beloved baby.

We can only suppress these memorials.
