She became a god

Ye Qingzhou looked at the invitation in his hand without a trace of a smile on his face.

The underworld tried to smooth things over, but the demon realm firmly disagreed.

The matter could have ended there.

But Ji Cunxi was not giving up. He actually tried to start with Ye Qingzhou, the founder, and invited Ye Qingzhou to discuss the reform in detail.

The doctrine of Zhao religion is that all women in the world should be like the sun and moon soaring in the sky, rather than the grass beneath their feet.

Ye Qingzhou didn't think there was anything wrong with the doctrine. If there was nothing wrong with the doctrine, then why should she modify it?

If no changes are needed, then why have a face-to-face meeting?

Ye Qingzhou simply declined Ji Cunxi's invitation.

Instead of wasting time arguing, we should research some new dishes.

Dongzhou, the State of Yu.

Ji Cunxi waited for a long time on the tallest osmanthus tree in the west of the city. The spring breeze knew her heart, the summer rain invited her to dance, the autumn moon shone on her, and the winter snowflakes fell on her brow.

Maybe three years, maybe ten years.

She had forgotten how many jars of osmanthus wine she had drunk, but she clearly remembered the woman who had once walked arm in arm with her, who had not shown up this time.

She could have taken the blame for interfering in the internal affairs of the human realm. She could have used a high-grade spiritual treasure to request a commission.

She could have pretended to be an innocent little beast and sneaked into the human world for a special meeting.

Why is it that at this moment, she is unwilling to even come here to see her?

Doesn't she know how much she misses her?

She really wanted to tell her that the osmanthus wine in the west of the city wasn't as mellow as it used to be.

She really wanted to tell her that the candied hawthorns in the east of the city had become fruit candied hawthorns.

She really wanted to tell her that the roast suckling pig in the north of the city had the sweet and spicy flavor she had been longing for.

She really wanted to tell her that the lotus flowers in the south of the city were blooming beautifully, but no one appreciated them.

.........

They clearly had so much to say, but she wouldn't even give them a chance to speak.

Didn't we agree to be the closest of friends? Why break the agreement?

Ji Cunxi couldn't understand it. She rubbed her tired brow, quietly climbed down the tree, concealed her figure, and slowly walked back to the East Palace.

She didn't want anyone to know how disheveled she was at that moment.

The Eastern Palace is not small, but it has few masters.

Therefore, the confrontation between Su Mingzhu and Chen Lai in the courtyard became a major event, and their subordinates and servants rushed to surround them.

Ji Cunxi also quietly followed. She felt that Chen Lai was steady and Su Mingzhu was extreme.

But Su Mingzhu is known for her eloquence, and even he sometimes falls for her tricks.

I wonder what shocking remarks Su Mingzhu will make today.

“Junior Sister Su, you’ve gone too far! A six-year-old girl has just experienced domestic violence and was almost sold, and you actually want to separate her from her mother, just because you think her mother doesn’t love her enough.”

Su Mingzhu sneered, "Senior Sister Chen, don't try to twist the facts. It's a fact that Xiaoya's mother doesn't love Xiaoya, it's not just my subjective opinion. If Xiaoya's mother really loved Xiaoya, why would she allow Xiaoya to be beaten by her father, and why wouldn't she sell her sons or daughters when there was no food at home?"

Chen Lai said, "It was her father who beat Xiaoya, not her mother. Her mother was also frequently beaten by her father and was a victim of domestic violence as well. As for selling Xiaoya, it was a choice she had to make a living. Xiaoya's mother was, after all, a woman living in a patriarchal country. She did not beat Xiaoya, nor did she intentionally sell her."

Su Mingzhu shook her head. "There's not much difference in physical strength between adult women and adult men. Even if she can't beat him when she's conscious, why doesn't the woman choose to fight back when the man is unconscious? If she really loves Xiaoya, after seeing Xiaoya being abused, she would definitely muster up the courage to fight back against her abusive husband and leave with Xiaoya."

"But she didn't do that. She just advised Xiaoya to continue to endure it, to be obedient, and to be filial to her father when she grew up. While she was advising Xiaoya to obediently endure the beatings, she also had a son with the man who beat her and her daughter. I can't see that she loved Xiaoya from her actions."

"Senior Sister Chen said she didn't sell Xiaoya on purpose, but boys are worth much more than girls in a patriarchal country. If she really needed money, why sell a girl instead of a boy?"

Chen Lai remained silent for a moment before saying, "Junior Sister Su, you and I are fortunate to live in a matriarchal country, but Xiao Ya's mother is not so lucky. Judging a woman from a patriarchal country using the mindset of a matriarchal society is nothing short of arrogant condescension."

Su Mingzhu scoffed, "Senior Sister Chen is really good at framing me. Which of the things I just said was from the perspective of the unique ideology of the matriarchal country? I was just raising some questions from the perspective of a normal person. How did that become arrogant and condescending? Does Senior Sister Chen also agree with me that Xiaoya's mother is not a normal person? Anyway, I sincerely think that Xiaoya should find a normal person to be her mother, otherwise she will definitely have a lifelong childhood trauma."

Chen Lai said indignantly, "You're too harsh on women! No matter how bad Xiaoya's mother is, she still gave birth to Xiaoya. The child has her own mother. You're not letting the mother raise the child, but making an outsider raise the child. Isn't that ridiculous?"

"Giving birth to a child only proves that a woman is fertile, but it does not prove that she is capable of raising a child. In my opinion, Xiaoya's mother is simply not capable of raising a girl to grow up healthily!"

"Su Mingzhu, your demands on mothers are far too harsh. Childbirth is already difficult for mothers; you should be trying to help them, not criticizing them!"

“Senior Sister Chen, if we only help without being critical, some people will go down a wrong path and end up raising mentally unhealthy children. These children will either hurt others or hurt themselves when they grow up. If this happens, it will be a tragedy for our Zhaojiao!”

"Okay, even if what you say makes sense, what gives you the right to deprive a mother of her right to educate her child?"

"Because this mother's parenting style has threatened the child's healthy development and safety! If this isn't addressed, the little girl's life will be ruined!"

"But they've already arrived in the matriarchal society, and Little Maid will gradually change!"

"Of course she can change slowly, but the person who bears the risk of her unpredictable mood swings during the process of change is not you or me, but Xiaoya! A six-year-old girl is at a critical period when her cognition is shaped by adults. She deserves the best education, not to suffer verbal abuse and indifference from her mother."

After a pause, Su Mingzhu continued, "Senior Sister Chen, do you remember? When I took Xiaoya away, and you insisted on taking Xiaoya's mother, Xiaoya's mother held the boy tightly and comforted him, but she never looked at Xiaoya once. She didn't care how sad Xiaoya was, who was almost sold, but was worried about whether her son and husband would have enough to eat in Yu Kingdom. Perhaps Xiaoya's mother had the ability to love and raise children, but she would never use that ability on Xiaoya."
