Transformed into an abused child bride, breaking off the marriage and getting a divorce is so cool

Jiang Yutong was quite happy at the subsequent banquet. There were a group of people who were good at talking and they praised Jiang Yutong a lot. The key point was that what these people said did not make you feel that they were deliberately flattering.

Jiang Yutong sent the person out in a good mood.

Xiao Yifeng was in a good mood. After all, he didn't have much official business, so he just ate and drank.

Starting from the new year, Xiao Yifeng's era truly began, and the first year of Jingzheng officially began.

As the New Year was coming to an end, Jiang Yutong began to deal with Zhong Qionglan's affairs.

Jiang Yutong whispered a few words to Dongmei.

Dongmei left the palace.

Dongmei stayed outside the palace for a few days before returning.

In the middle, Xiao Yifeng came back and asked curiously, "Where is the maidservant beside you? Did you let her out?"

Jiang Yutong was stunned. "No, he went out of the palace to help me with something."

When the topic of releasing Dongmei came up, Jiang Yutong also considered that although Dongmei was still young and could still stay in the palace for a few more years, she still had to be prepared and keep an eye out for any good men for her.

Xiao Yifeng didn't ask any more questions.

As soon as Dongmei came back, she nodded to Jiang Yutong and said, "It's done."

Sure enough, two days later, Du Xiaoyao came to the palace with a letter.

"I'm here to tell you some good news."

Although Jiang Yutong knew what the good news Du Xiaoyao was talking about, she pretended not to know and motioned for her to continue.

"Xue Siwen is getting married, and the man he's marrying is quite powerful. My mother-in-law came to say she couldn't come to the house yesterday."

It turned out that Xue Siwen had somehow gotten involved with the daughter of the butcher next door. This daughter was a hot-tempered girl and was not young anymore. However, she had always been famous for her hot-tempered nature and had never married. This time, she had somehow gotten involved with Xue Siwen, and the marriage was naturally arranged.

"At first, Xue Siwen disagreed, but was beaten up by this woman."

After saying that, Du Xiaoyao covered her mouth and laughed, "I heard that Xue Siwen is very afraid of this woman now. I guess he won't have the time to go out and mess around anymore."

"That's great. If Madam Xue doesn't come to visit, you won't have any more trouble."

Du Xiaoyao also breathed a sigh of relief and glanced at Jiang Yutong suspiciously, "Could this be your doing?"

Jiang Yutong picked up the teacup and drank tea, smiling without saying a word.

Du Xiaoyao scolded, "I knew it."

Jiang Yutong asked Dongmei to leave just to find a powerful woman to intimidate Xue Siwen and Zhong Qionglan. He also explained to her the interests involved and told her not to let them mess around. She would make the decisions on other matters and give them a sum of money every month.

The woman agreed readily.

This way, I can solve the problem once and for all. I can't let my brother sacrifice my own peace.

After the new year, Jiang Yutong told Xiao Yifeng about her idea of opening a girls' school.

Xiao Yifeng was a little surprised, "Why did you think of opening a girls' school?"

"It's to allow women to learn some words and a skill, so that even if they encounter difficulties in life, they will have a skill to rely on. At the same time, they can contribute to a family and stabilize family relationships, which is also a good thing for the entire Da Qi."

Xiao Yifeng nodded, "Just do it if you want to."

Xiao Yifeng has always supported what Jiang Yutong has done. "I'll find a few people to cooperate with you."

Soon, Jiang Yutong established the first women's college in the capital.

Jiang Yutong sent people to find outstanding women from all over Da Qi to serve as teachers in the academy.

It took a lot of time and energy, and I thought I could recruit enough students quickly, but I didn't expect that it would slap Jiang Yutong in the face.

The only student was Huanhuan, and no one else came to sign up.

Jiang Yutong sighed, "I didn't expect it would be so difficult to get girls to study."

Xiao Yifeng patted her head and comforted her, "Don't be discouraged. A better-off family would hire a teacher to educate their daughters. A poor family would not even allow their daughters to go to school."

Jiang Yutong was not discouraged. Instead, he went out of the palace in person and posted a notice stating the purpose and ideas of the school, and even offered preferential conditions of free tuition for the first academic year.

It did have some effect, and some women came to sign up one after another.

The next morning at court, a minister submitted a memorial.

"Your Majesty, this woman's virtue lies in her lack of talent. Now the Empress is running a girls' school outside. This is subverting the imperial order and disregarding ethics."

"Your Majesty, please reconsider this matter. Although the Empress is very talented, this women's school is meaningless and will only bring hidden dangers to the Great Qi."

"For thousands of years, women have only needed to stay home and take care of their husbands and children. Why spend so much manpower and material resources to send girls to school?"

"Yes, yes, it's a mess."

"This woman has long hair but little knowledge, and she will never understand even if she studies."

The discussion grew louder, and Xiao Yifeng spoke up, "Quiet! I have listened to the advice of all the ministers, but I don't see any hidden dangers in this girls' school. It's a good thing for the Queen to run this girls' school. She has used all the manpower and resources from her own shop, and has not spent any royal money. I support this."

Hearing Xiao Yifeng's support, the ministers below cried out again, "Your Majesty, this cannot be done. If this continues, Da Qi will be in chaos."

Xiao Yifeng said in a deep voice, "Could it be that the ministers are afraid that women, with their increased knowledge, will outsmart you and prevent you from holding a favorable position in the harem?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the hall immediately fell silent.

Xiao Yifeng continued, "A gentleman should be magnanimous and tolerant. It's not difficult to admit that others are better than you. A woman with knowledge can better fulfill her responsibilities in a family."

Xiao Yifeng finally said earnestly, "My dear ministers, please emulate me. The Queen is an outstanding woman. I admire her very much, and she has given me a lot of help."

In the evening, as soon as Jiang Yutong returned to the palace, she learned about what happened in the hall. Li Fu told her this on purpose. She felt that this was definitely instructed by Xiao Yifeng.

After hearing what Xiao Yifeng said, Jiang Yutong would be lying if she said she wasn't moved. Although she had expected the opposition from this group of ministers, she didn't expect Xiao Yifeng to be so aware.

The patriarchal society has existed for a long time, and various rules and regulations restrict the development of women in order to allow men to better control women. Jiang Yutong's opening of a women's college will inevitably affect the rights and status of men, but she still wants to do such a thing.

Jiang Yutong put aside her thoughts and entered the bedroom. Xiao Yifeng was leaning on the chaise longue with a book in his hand. "Are you back?"

Jiang Yutong walked over to Xiao Yifeng and kissed him on the cheek, "Thank you for what you did today."

Xiao Yifeng was a little flattered. He put down the book and hugged the man in his arms, "Then your thank you gift just now was a little too little."

After saying that, he lowered his head and kissed her.

And this time, Jiang Yutong was more enthusiastic than ever.
