I turned the cold palace into a paradise

"I won't sign! I won't sign even if I die! If you dare, just beat me to death!" The man's slender face was dislocated due to pain and anger, making his features look even uglier. Even so, he still shouted in resistance.

Li Wanhua was too lazy to talk nonsense with him and drew out the knife: "Oh, then you can just die."

Yunyue stopped Li Wanhua from swinging her knife. They were all escapees, and if they killed someone, they would be pursued by the government. So she took out a pill from the pouch on her waist and said softly, "It's okay not to divorce. Take this pill. Don't worry, it's not fatal. It will only make you suffer from slow slicing for an hour every day. I think you're a man and should be able to endure it. Besides, the pain will only last for a year. Just endure it and it will pass. By then, your internal organs will turn into blood and you will be free. Come on, pry open his mouth for me, and I'll feed him myself..."

Seeing Yin Yi about to step forward, the man said with a horrified look on his face: "I'll sign, I'll sign!"

Li Wanhua moved her feet away and rubbed them on the ground in disgust.

The man signed his name on the paper crookedly, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and pressed his fingerprints.

Then he took the divorce papers and threw them on Qiao Guihua's face: "Here you go, are you satisfied? I want to see how you three bitches can live without me!"

Li Wanhua was so angry that she wanted to attack again, but was stopped by Yunyue.

The girl standing next to Qiao Guihua suddenly rushed forward and pushed the man so hard that he staggered. With relief and anger in her eyes, she shouted, "We won't die even if you die! You are no longer my father! My mother, sister and I will starve to death before we look for you!"

The man spat and cursed, "You little ungrateful bastards, did you think I wanted you? You money-losing goods! Now get out of here with your damn mother. It would be worse than giving birth to a dog!" He wanted to curse again, but when he saw Li Wanhua coming towards him with a knife, he snorted and ran away.

Only the villagers who were watching the fun were still pointing and talking.

"These outsiders are so shameless! They are forcing people to divorce!"

I told you that raising a daughter is useless. Look at this ungrateful little bastard! She even dared to scold her father!"

"That's right. Let them divorce. It would be strange for a woman like her to survive in this world with two children."

"Hehehe, that's not necessarily true. Look at this Qiao, she still has her charm. And when that girl grows up, she can go out and use her body to buy food..."

"..."

Everyone was shaking with anger. Si Yin gave a look and the guards stepped forward with weapons in hand. The villagers were immediately frightened and fled in all directions.

Yunyue walked to Qiao Guihua, looked at the baby who was still crying softly, gently checked the baby, pressed a few acupoints on the baby's body, and the baby gradually stopped crying and slowly fell asleep.

"The child is fine, he was just frightened."

Qiao Guihua's tears fell like beads from a broken string. She was about to kneel down while holding her daughter. Yun Yue hurriedly supported her. Shi Zhaodi beside her knelt down and kowtowed several times to everyone.

"Thank you brothers and sisters for saving my life. I will repay you." The girl's voice was full of gratitude.

Li Wanhua pulled her up: "What's your name?"

"My name is Shi Zhaodi."

Yunyue frowned again. Zhaodi, Pandi, Niandi, Laidi... every name has the meaning of oppression against women...

Shi Zhaodi pursed her lips and said embarrassedly: "Sisters, can you help me come up with a new name?"

She hated the name. Now that her mother had divorced that person, she wanted to start a new life.

Li Wanhua looked at Yunyue.

Yunyue thought for a moment and said, "Call me Shijin. I wish you a bright future."

"Can women also have a future?"

"Of course, Shi Jin, you were great today. You protected your mother and sister, and you also knew how to resist. Don't pay attention to what they say. You have to remember that only incompetent people will use gender to make arguments. Because they have nothing else except gender. Aren't the heroic generals of the previous dynasty also women?"

Li Wanhua interrupted: "Humph! The next female general will be me!"

"I want to be a general too! I also want a bright future!" Shi Jin's eyes instantly glowed with joy, as if the whole world was lit up.

"Yeah!" Yunyue touched her head.

"As long as you are strong, both men and women will fear you, respect you, and be afraid of you."

Shi Jin nodded heavily. Thinking of the man's miserable appearance just now, Shi Jin wanted to become stronger at this moment!

"Come, you and your mother get on the carriage first and I'll check your injuries."

Shi Jin and his mother expressed their gratitude.

Ouyang Shu and Yu Xiyun also got on the carriage to help.

Although they had expected this, they felt even more uncomfortable when they saw Shi Jin's body covered with scars, new and old wounds overlapping each other.

After asking, I found out that Shi Jin had been beaten and scolded almost every day since he was a child.

After getting off the carriage, everyone felt heavy-hearted.

"Xiao Jin..." Yu Xiyun shouldn't have said anything. Although she knew that women had a low status, women from official families were different. She had never seen or experienced such an experience before.

The other women were also silent. Everyone who came out of the palace here had been living a life of luxury since childhood. Even if they were not loved, they had never been treated like this. What happened today shocked them.

Si Yin said calmly: "There are too many Shi Jin in this world, and there are also those ignorant villagers everywhere. The situation of women is more difficult than you think... Some are abandoned as soon as they are born because they are girls, and there are many cases of drowning... Like me."

Si Yin's subordinates wanted to speak to comfort him. Si Yin suddenly changed the subject: "Fortunately he was lost, otherwise he would never have met the master!" The master is the best master in the world!

The other men nodded in unison.

Seeing that everyone was in a heavy mood, Yun Yue said, "Now we are no longer young ladies, concubines, or noble ladies. We are also one of many ordinary women. In the future, we will not only see more of this kind of things, but also be treated like this."

Li Wanhua was anxious: "How dare they! I will beat them to death!"

Yun Yue shook her head helplessly: "Some deep-rooted prejudices and thoughts cannot be solved by violence."

"Then what should we do?"

Yun Yue was silent. What should she do? She was just an ordinary woman...

“If I can help one person, I can help one person. If I can influence one person, I can help one person.”

Yunyue took Shijin and the other two with her, fearing that if they got too close, the man would come and cause trouble again. She only dropped them off when they passed the next town.

"You will have to rely on yourselves for your future life." Yun Yue handed over a bundle.

Shi Jin took it and thanked him solemnly: "Thank you brothers and sisters, I will definitely repay you when I grow up."

Yunyue and others waved their hands and continued on their journey.

Shi Jin opened the bundle, which contained some clean clothes and a silver note.

"She is truly a living Bodhisattva! Ni'er, we are saved!" Qiao Guihua shed tears of joy.

"Thank you... We will definitely meet again..." Shi Jin looked at the place where the carriage left and bowed his head heavily...
