The concubine is a man, and the illegitimate son of a divine physician has a spatial ability.

When Yin Gui's words reached Yin Zijing's ears, his burning passion was instantly extinguished as if a bucket of ice water had been poured over his head. He seemed to have lost all support, his body involuntarily slumped, and his once straight back bent slightly.

Yin Zijin couldn't help but fall into deep thought: opening a clinic might not be difficult, but how easy would it be to change the deeply ingrained feudal ideas of women? Since ancient times, women have been instilled with all sorts of outdated ideas, and they are bound by household chores, unable to break free from the shackles of traditional ethics.

The men treated women as their possessions, subjecting them to strict control and ruthless oppression. In such an environment, truly awakening women and empowering them to take control of their own destinies was undoubtedly an incredibly difficult task.

However, despite the numerous difficulties ahead, Yin Zijin's pursuit of equality and justice never faded...

Women in the Great Sheng Dynasty were expected to obey their fathers at home, their husbands after marriage, and their sons after their husbands' deaths. Arranged marriages meant they had no say in their own lives.

Even in modern society, women have not achieved true and complete equality. Can we really achieve that in the Great Sheng Dynasty?

As if she had figured something out, Yin Zijing's eyes gradually hardened, and she said with a smile, "Third Uncle, how do we know it won't work if we don't try? I believe that anything is possible with effort."

Yin Gui said with some appreciation, "Good, Zijin. Your third uncle believes that you can achieve anything. The fact that you can talk to me for so long shows that you are in good spirits. But you should also get some rest. When you start your studies, your third uncle will have a gift for you."

Yin Zijing smiled and said, "Okay, Third Uncle. Zijing is waiting for Third Uncle's gift."

As the two chatted, Yin Zijing grew tired and fell into a deep sleep. Seeing that Yin Zijing was asleep, Yin Guicai whispered, "Ruhe, take good care of the Sixth Miss. I'll go back first. If anything happens to the Sixth Miss, come find me in the front yard immediately."

Ruhe nodded, bowed, and said, "Yes, Third Master. You can rest assured that I will take care of the young lady!"

Early the next morning, Granny Zhou led the best foot-binding women in the capital into Bizhu Pavilion. As soon as they entered, Granny Zhou asked, "Xiaolan, how is she? Has Sixth Miss fallen asleep?"

Xiaolan nodded and said, "Don't worry, Granny Zhou. There's a sedative in the medicine, and Sixth Miss has already fallen asleep. She won't wake up. By the time her feet are bound, Sixth Miss might still be asleep."

Inside the canopy bed, purple gauze curtains were already hung, revealing the entire scene inside. Granny Zhou led the bound-foot maids into the canopy bed.

Looking at the sleeping Yin Zijing, the foot-binding matron exclaimed, "Sixth Miss is truly beautiful. Even in her illness, she remains so lovely. With her feet bound again, she will surely find a perfect husband after she comes of age."

"Don't worry, Granny Zhou! Leave Sixth Miss to me. I will definitely bind her feet into three-inch golden lotuses. You know, in the Great Sheng Dynasty, the smaller the golden lotuses, the more respect she receives from her husband, and the better family she can marry into. Some families even choose wives based solely on the size of their feet, without considering their appearance. Granny Zhou, is the hot water ready?"

Granny Zhou said, "It's all ready. Please take care of it, Sixth Miss."

The old woman then took out Yin Zijin's incredibly delicate, jade-like feet from the bed...
