The second wife was quite old and had only given birth to one daughter, but she was still obsessed with the power struggles within the household and with upholding the rules established by the master.

As for the third wife, Mei Shan, Yin Fengyu couldn't figure her out, but he felt that Mei Shan had resisted the feudal ethics of the time by dying.

Fourth Madam Songlian went mad. In the film's ending, Songlian changed into her school uniform, wore two braids, and paced back and forth in her courtyard. It was as if she wanted to break free of her cage but couldn't. Moreover, Yin Fengyu felt that Songlian wasn't mad, but rather using her own way to rebel against the master and against the feudal ethics of that era.

She couldn't escape, nor did she dare to reveal how Meishan died. She was afraid of being hanged like Meishan, and she was also tired of the tedious routine of lighting lamps, ordering food, and massaging feet.

However, Yin Fengyu felt that Songlian finally awakened, and the entire film was filled with Chinese-style horror, revealing the true nature of humanity. Everything inflicted on the wives was a product of the master and feudal ethics.

Yin Fengyu thought to herself, "My own Great Sheng Dynasty is even worse than this. How many women like Songlian, Meishan, the First Madam, and the Second Madam are there in the inner quarters of the Great Sheng Dynasty? How many young women's bones are buried in this inner quarters, unable to find peace? A small courtyard is the entire life of a woman."

The women in the Yin household—Zhang, Feng, Wang, and Li—were all pitiful. Their joys and sorrows were all bestowed upon them by men.

This is wrong; I should strive to change the current situation. In ancient China's Tang Dynasty, women held a very high status. Can I change the current situation in this prosperous dynasty?

Having lived as a man before, I didn't understand much. But now, living as a woman, I truly understand the hardships women face, especially those under feudal ethics. Their lives were filled with such misery…

Suddenly, Yin Zijin patted Yin Fengyu and asked in confusion, "Zijin, what are you thinking about again? Why are you always spacing out?"

Yin Fengyu forced a smile and said, "What I'm thinking is quite unconventional for Niao Niao. Does Niao Niao want to hear it?"

Yin Zijin nodded and said, "Yes, yes, Zijin, tell us!"

Yin Zijin shook her head and said, "I'll tell Niao Niao when I have the chance later."

After walking for a while, Yin Fengyu and the others passed through a large courtyard called Qingfeng Pavilion. Yin Fengyu knew that this was the place where Yin Jingyi, Yin Ziyue and Yin Jingan went to school, and it would also be the place where she would go to school in the future.

After walking for another fifteen minutes, Yin Fengyu and her group arrived at the main gate of Yimei Courtyard. A black plaque hung above the gate, with the three characters "Yimei Courtyard" neatly written on it. The gate was new, vermilion in color, as if it had been painted red not long ago, and the threshold was very high.

Even though Yin Fengyu had lived in the Great Sheng Dynasty for five years, she still couldn't adapt to this high threshold.

Granny Zhou said, "Sixth Miss, Seventh Miss, let's go inside! This will be our new home from now on."

At this moment, Yin Ziyao's eyes lit up, and she said mischievously, "Granny Zhou, it's our first time in this new house, and Zijing and I want to explore it. Otherwise, being locked in the courtyard every day, we won't even recognize our own home. It's so uncomfortable! Granny Zhou, please grant our request!"
