No, I was just a concubine, how did I become the queen?

"Investigate this thoroughly for me!" Lin Mingyan's eyebrows became fierce.

She worked so hard for so long and finally gave the woman some picture.

After several years of hard work, many women have finally stood up.

Whether it was learning to read and write, going out to do business, or even working as a factory worker, at least they became independent.

But this group of people are dreaming of attacking the little girls and cutting off their legs at the root. They are so ambitious!

Du Juan's eyes were also blazing with anger: "The person behind this is really vicious."

"My lady, rest assured, I will investigate this matter thoroughly!"

Du had been a female official for several years and had actually gained some experience.

However, in front of Lin Mingyan, she still regarded herself as a servant.

In fact, this is a very bad habit, and it can be regarded as a bad habit of the Qing Dynasty system.

Lin Mingyan couldn't correct the ministers on the Fourth Master's side, so she started with Du Juan: "You are now a female official of a high rank. You are confident in whoever you meet. You are the one who makes the decisions for the people."

"Don't call me a slave in front of me. You are already a very good official."

Du Juan forced back her tears, smiled and said, "I will always be your master's servant."

She had long been accustomed to it, and it also made her seem closer to the Empress.

Lin Mingyan said, "Sometimes there is no other way, especially for women, when people become slaves."

"But I hope that women who are able to reach high positions will consider themselves human beings, rather than slaves of others."

"If even a female official like you has a slave mentality, how can you teach more people?"

This was the first time Dujuan thought about this issue, after all, she was sold when she was very young.

When she was not with her master at the beginning, she was not only a servant in the mansion, but also a servant of the servants.

Anyone with a little dignity can order her around or even bully her.

Later, I had the good fortune to follow the master. After that, she had fewer and fewer masters, and I became a respectable servant.

She is already very content. It can be said that for a woman to reach her status in her life, she is almost at the top.

But, it turns out that she is not completely a slave?

She could be a person too?!

Dujuan was confused.

Lin Mingyan patted her head and reassured her, "You will do better in the future, and even leave a lasting legacy."

"You are Yao Dujuan, a role model for women all over the world."

She could already foresee what history books would say, and Dujuan would definitely have a place!

Du Juan nodded desperately: "Okay, I will definitely live up to your expectations!"

She went to investigate the matter with high morale, and Honghui was still with Lin Mingyan.

Lin Mingyan asked curiously, "Hui'er isn't busy today?"

Her son is busy every day, and she is not used to him hanging around.

Honghui: No, can’t I just sit idle?

He hadn't been alone with Lin Mingyan for a long time. Seeing that there was no one around, he moved closer to her and said coquettishly:

"Can't I just miss my mother? Did I come here specially to accompany you?"

Lin Mingyan couldn't suppress the smile as he shook her sleeves.

After all, this child has been precocious since childhood. Not to mention when she was a teenager, even when she was four or five years old, she rarely acted like this in a coquettish manner.

But in her eyes, no matter how old he is, he is still her child.

That was also her first child, a healthy, strong child who made people full of hope at first sight.

The mother and son hadn't had such a warm moment for a long time. They talked for a long time and didn't even notice that the Fourth Master had come back from his work.

As soon as the Fourth Master entered the hall, he saw the happy face of the mother and son, and all his fatigue from the whole day disappeared.

But the two of them didn't even give him a glance, which immediately made him a little unhappy.

I hummed in my heart: Not giving Honghui any work to do would be too easy for him!

I just hope he can find his other half soon, and then we can leave everything to the young couple.

He can now take Cha Cha out to play!

Honghui was talking to Lin Mingyan when he suddenly felt a chill on his back. He turned around and saw the Fourth Master's eyes full of resentment.

Doesn’t he know the Emperor yet?

This must be a heavy burden on him mentally!

Honghui cleverly brought up the topic of foot binding: "Father, you've arrived just in time."

"I am discussing important matters with the Empress Dowager. Today..."

He told Lin Mingyan everything that happened today, and she was confused by his turn of events.

Aren't they discussing barbecue camping?

How did the topic suddenly shift to the issue of foot binding?

She was also planning to wait until Dujuan had found out everything before reporting to the Fourth Master.

This brat is just as impatient as the Fourth Master!

The Fourth Master felt a little embarrassed. What should he do if he had misunderstood the eldest son?

However, he didn't show it on his face and got down to business: "The Han people started foot binding in the Song Dynasty."

"But we Manchus never treat our ladies unfairly. No one does this."

After all, Manchu ladies have to ride horses and shoot arrows. It is difficult for them to walk with their bound feet, so how can they ride horses?

Lin Mingyan said: "I think so too, but now everyone has started!"

"Look at the list on this memorial. There are even more pure Manchus!"

Moreover, these people were not Han army flags, but pure Manchus.

The women in the Han army banner were few and far between, and their parents were not high-ranking.

"Is there such a thing?" The Fourth Master really didn't understand. He took the memorial and his face grew darker the more he read it.

"These people are so happy that they are now torturing their daughter?!"

He may not feel it, but Lin Mingyan can guess the reason behind it.

Isn't the purpose of tormenting your daughter to get better in-laws?

However, Manchu girls are indeed not as pretty as Han girls, so women from the Han Army Banner are very popular in the marriage market.

This is also the reason why there are almost no women from the Han Army Banner on this list, because they are easier to marry.

The Manchus also wanted to increase the value of their daughters, so what should they do?

Everyone is chasing after small feet. While other aspects of appearance cannot be changed, it is still acceptable to bind the feet.

After hearing her explanation, the Fourth Master's face turned darker than the bottom of a pot: "Investigate, investigate thoroughly!"

"Whoever spread this rumor, I'm going to make them experience foot binding for themselves!"

Lin Mingyan felt pain in her feet after hearing this!

The Fourth Master is not the kind of person who talks big. If he really finds out, the person who started it will be in trouble.

However, Lin Mingyan is also a vengeful person. This man can make a woman suffer so much, so it is only right for him to have a taste of foot binding himself.

She didn't want to persuade the Fourth Master at all, and she even felt a little happy!

Of course Honghui didn't dare to persuade him, but after investigating, they found that Hongshi was the culprit, and everyone was dumbfounded.

The Fourth Master kicked Hongshi, who was kneeling on the ground, and said, "Is that a winter melon on your neck?"
