Chapter 881 She Wants to Realize That Flourish
In Shi Anxia's opinion, those two cases were not difficult at all and not worth the bother.
The reason for the public trial was to give an explanation to the public opinion. In comparison, Huo Qingqing's lyrics shook the thousand-year-old ethics and had a more far-reaching impact.
She recalled that in her previous life, when Yan Xingchen was exposed for disguising herself as a man, the government and the public were shocked.
In the court where everyone was united in fighting the enemy, both the Censorate and the civil and military officials jointly impeached him for "deceiving the emperor and confusing social order" and vowed to put him to death.
This shows how terrible the deeply rooted ideas are. They could accept that the Empress Dowager Huizheng was the regent when the country was in danger, but they could not tolerate a woman who devoted herself to the country to be among the nine ministers.
In the past, An Xia had spent countless efforts to save Yan Xingchen. This was also the reason why, after her rebirth, she repeatedly asked Emperor Mingde for the "golden medal of immunity from death" when she did not have his full trust.
She was afraid that if she was not in a high position, she would not be able to protect the people she wanted to protect.
Today, the situation in the North Wing is very different. Madam Lingyun and Madam Anguo have achieved so much that men can only dream of them, so there is no need to make a fuss.
Moreover, at that time, the various countries were coming to war, and everyone was working hard to deal with them and unite against them. Some even thought that enfeoffing women as officials would be a heavy blow to the various countries.
Moreover, because of the "Clear Dust Plan", everyone is in danger.
No one in the court made a fuss, and even the Censorate praised Emperor Mingde for his broad-mindedness and his tolerance of all.
The right time, right place, and right people are all essential. Of course, Emperor Mingde's strength and majesty played a significant role.
Once the other states left, it was too late for the court to figure out what was going on. The event had already been accomplished, and it was a fact that women were officials.
Therefore, as the number of female officials in the court gradually increased, it became a habit. Even if Yan Xingchen returned to her female body, she could still stand tall in the court.
This kind of scene is exactly the prosperity that Shi Anxia has been working so hard to achieve.
She wanted to open up a smooth road for women with lofty ambitions. She wanted this prosperous world to accommodate every talent that should not be buried, regardless of gender.
Shi Anxia had heard Cen Yuan talk about a world where women and men studied together and walked side by side. They could write about politics and write eloquently.
The women there do not have to hide in the boudoir, nor do they have to pretend to be men. They can stand upright between heaven and earth.
Shi Anxia didn't know how many years it would take for him to see such a world in the North Wing. A hundred years, a thousand years? Or maybe even longer.
Breaking the thousand-year shackles cannot be done hastily, but neither can it be left to chance. This was the thought that gradually became clear to her as she tossed and turned all night recently.
Respecting parents-in-law is a virtue, but it should not become a shackle or an excuse for the mother-in-law to torture the daughter-in-law.
When Shi Anxia's eyes fell on the words "From now on, there will be no spring sunshine in this world", he felt that some rules should be broken by someone.
Bei Hui was wandering back and forth in front of him.
Shi Anxia shifted his gaze from the book to her face and couldn't help but smile, "If you are anxious, you might as well go to the court and take a look."
Bei Hui smiled sheepishly, "I'm not in a hurry. I just thought that the Chi family would definitely not be able to escape, but Miss Chi Shuang would eventually be branded as 'forcing my grandmother to death'."
In this world where filial piety is valued as the highest virtue, even if the grandmother is an unforgivable criminal, it is still unacceptable for a granddaughter to force her to death.
Even if the Duke of Protectorate's Mansion intends to protect her, as time goes on, not only will Chi Shuang herself be criticized, but even the Duke of Protectorate's Mansion will also be charged with disregarding human ethics.
Shi Anxia turned the page slowly and said, "Wait and see. Don't be impatient. There might be a surprise."
At noon, Nanyan, Hongque and others who had gone out to watch the excitement came back, their faces flushed, and they chattered loudly.
This public trial was like a thunderclap.
Only then did the world know that Chi Yiqing, a talented man who was once famous in the capital, died in such a tragic way.
It was not until Mrs. Fang Zhichi learned the truth about her son's death that she calmly accepted the three shops in East City.
What a chilling mother!
Not only that, the mother also took her anger out on her innocent daughter-in-law and grandchildren.
Only then did the world understand why a weak woman would hold the tablet of her loved one and resolutely ask to leave the clan. It was an unspeakable blood feud!
Why would the imperial court intervene in a civil family dispute? If Chi Shuang did not use the power of the imperial court to break the shackles, she would never escape the cage of the Chi family.
Her whole life will be controlled by the old woman. The military exploits that Chi Yue gained with his life will eventually become the nutrients that nourish these blood-sucking worms.
Zheng Qiaoer also brought Chi Shuang to Tinglan Courtyard.
Chi Shuang stayed in prison for a day, but not only did she not look haggard, she was even more energetic than usual.
When she saw it, An Xia's eyes were red, and her slender body bowed down deeply, "Princess, you have a brilliant plan. The blood feud between my parents has finally seen the light of day."
The ending note trembled and shattered in the wind, as if the grief that had been suppressed for many years had finally found an outlet.
Chi Shuang thought that she would have to spend her entire life trying to find out the cause of her father's death, and in the end she would have to sacrifice her own life to avenge her father.
She thought her mother was tortured to death by her grandmother, and she could only loudly refute her grandmother.
Even in the first half of the month, she was still thinking hard about how to get out of the situation of marrying an old man again.
But in just a few days, fate seemed to have opened a crack between heaven and earth, and the light that leaked in dispelled the haze that had been lingering for her for years.
She came to life.
How to prevent her from bursting into tears?
Chi Shuang refused to get up for a long time, just kneeling in front of the princess, and once again said sincerely, "Princess, I will remember your kindness in my heart. If the princess can be of any use to me in the future, I am willing to die in the midst of fire and water."
The princess is her benefactor!
Shi Anxia originally wanted to help her up himself, but his body was too heavy and he got tired as soon as he moved.
She could only laugh softly and said, "The road ahead will be smooth. There won't be any mountains of swords and seas of fire. If Sister Shuang'er doesn't get up, my aunt will be distressed."
"That's right!" Zheng Qiao'er pulled Chi Shuang up from the ground helplessly, "Okay, okay, this matter is settled. I will hold a banquet to recognize my daughter in a few days, Shuang'er, you should be ready."
After a pause, he continued, "Don't kneel down all the time in the future. Xia'er doesn't like it."
Shi Anxia nodded, "Aunt is right."
Chi Shuang nodded her head and sat down with Zheng Qiaoer.
Bei Hui made tea for them.
Zheng Qiaoer thought the tea was too hot and asked for a glass of cold water. "My heart is burning, so cold water can quench my thirst." She drank half a cup in one breath and then said, "Xia'er, as you expected, all five charges are true. The Chi family is finished!"
She deliberately kept it a secret, "Guess what other surprises there are?"
Shi Anxia thought for a moment, "Mrs. Chi didn't hang herself, did she?"
Zheng Qiaoer looked at Nan Yan and the others and asked, "Did you tell her?"
Nan Yan smiled, "I haven't had time to talk to you since I came back."
Zheng Qiaoer glared at her niece, "Xia'er, can you please not be so smart? You're making me lose interest in gossiping!"
