The wife of Guo Zheng, the Minister of Rites, became angry when someone told her that Princess Ning was making things difficult for her daughter.
She was also one of the people who looked down upon Princess Ning. It was hard not to get angry when she heard that she was making things difficult for her daughter.
After hearing the news, many ladies who were similar to Mrs. Guo also followed the angry Mrs. Guo to watch the show.
Chen Yun looked at Miss Guo who was kneeling on the ground, and then at the girls who were bending down and looking respectfully at her.
"Princess Ning!"
Mrs. Guo shouted loudly before she arrived. She walked over quickly and saw her daughter kneeling on the ground, her face became even worse.
"Princess Ning, what did my little girl do to make you so angry? You made her kneel?"
"Princess Ning, you can't bully our little Guo family just because of your status." Mrs. Guo said sternly.
When Chen Yu saw Mrs. Guo, the smile on her face did not change. She said, "Will Mrs. Guo also give me a thumbs up as soon as she comes?"
"This princess uses her power to bully others? Who told you?"
Mrs. Guo did not speak, but looked at her kneeling daughter, with a look on her face like "Why is my daughter kneeling if you are not bullying me?"
Chen Xun said without changing her expression, "Sure enough, this girl and Mrs. Guo are indeed mother and daughter."
"Mrs. Guo branded me as a bully as soon as she arrived. Don't you even understand why your girl is kneeling?"
"Moreover, it's not me who asked her to kneel down. She just found out that she had violated Dayong's law, so she knelt down to apologize."
"This princess does not use her power to bully others." Chen Yu said innocently.
Mrs. Guo's face was very ugly. After Chen Yu finished speaking, she retorted, "Why is Princess Ning so slanderous? When did my little girl defy Yong's law?"
Dayong's laws are very strict. How can their little palace dare to defy the laws?
The most important thing is, who dares to challenge the Dayong Law under the majesty of Emperor Yun Zhao?
"This princess is not a slanderer." Chen Xun said innocently.
"It's obviously your girl, but she said that if the girl's engagement was annulled, she should die to apologize." Chen Yu said.
"Isn't my daughter right? If her engagement is broken off and her reputation is ruined, she should die to apologize so as not to bring down the family." Mrs. Guo said subconsciously.
Chen Xun stared at Mrs. Guo with a half-smile but said, "So your girl's upbringing is exactly the same as Mrs. Guo's. Your girl was taught by you, right?"
"Death to apologize? Is this stipulated in the laws of this dynasty? It is clearly written in Dayong's laws, has the girl whose engagement been broken off committed a crime?"
"Since there is no clear stipulation in the law, then forcing the poor girl whose engagement was annulled to commit suicide, or killing the girl whose engagement was annulled, isn't it a waste of human life?"
"That's what the Guo family thinks, right? The Guo family despises human life and despises the people of Dayong. Where do they put the laws of Dayong? Where do they put the father and the emperor?" Chen Xun asked sonorously and forcefully.
Mrs. Guo originally didn't feel guilty when she listened to her previous questioning. She just believed like her daughter that people whose engagements were broken off and whose reputations were ruined didn't deserve to live.
But when Chen Xun said the last sentence of the question, her face couldn't help but turn pale.
"My father loves the people as much as his sons, and I hope that the people of Dayong can perform their duties and develop Dayong into a prosperous place." Chen Yu said seriously, then he turned around and scolded, "But you, the Guo family, think that Dayong is prosperous."
The common people despise and regard human life as despising.”
"According to Mrs. Guo's opinion, is it possible that your Guo family has been framed and has a bad reputation, so it's time for everyone to commit suicide?" Chen Yun asked sternly.
Mrs. Guo's face is really ugly now. She is very resentful that Chen Yun made the matter worse, elevated it to a national matter, and even brought up the banner of Emperor Yun Zhao.
She even cursed their Guo family. How could Mrs. Guo not feel resentful about this?
Chen Xun snorted coldly, "What? According to Mrs. Guo, it's okay for you Guo family members to have a bad reputation. If others are bullied and their engagement is broken off, then they should die?"
"Mrs. Guo is so noble." Chen Xun said with a strange air.
Mrs. Guo really didn't know how to refute. Everything she said was refuted by Chen Yu, who even said that she despised human life, despised ordinary people, and even despised other members of the aristocratic family.
You must know that the daughter of the Guo family just said that Zhou Ziqing, the legitimate daughter of the Zhou family, should commit suicide and apologize. In the eyes of the Guo family's daughter, Zhou Ziqing's life was worthless.
Therefore, Chen Yu directly dragged all the major families and nobles into the water to see if the Guo family really wanted to make enemies of the world.
In fact, Chen Yu didn't have to target this Guo daughter, it was just because she hated her kind of argument.
What does "if the engagement is annulled, you will die"?
The Zhou family and Prince Sui'an broke up and entered into the engagement, and both families became enemies. Under such circumstances, would Zhou Ziqing still want to marry shamelessly?
If he doesn't marry to Sui'an Prince's Mansion, if he doesn't marry Yan Lingfeng, will Zhou Ziqing die?
According to Guo's daughter, if the man is dissatisfied with the woman and then comes to cancel the engagement, then the poor girl will also have to commit suicide to apologize?
If so, if this practice spreads, will countless people blindly follow it?
You must know that the Guo family is the family of the Minister of Rites. If such an argument comes from their family, some wise people will not think anything of it, but some blind followers will follow suit.
Chen Xun didn't want such words to spread at all, and she didn't want too many people to think that the person whose engagement was broken off should die.
Human life should not be treated so lightly.
"Princess Ning, please don't get angry. It's Mrs. Guo and the girls of the Guo family who are doing something wrong. It's not good for you to get angry too. It will hurt your health..."
Concubine Lin, who had been watching the play for a while, quickly came out and gently advised Chen Xun not to be angry. While talking, she also begged for mercy from the Guo family's daughter and Mrs. Guo.
Concubine Lin glanced at the mother and daughter of the Guo family. Before, she thought it would be feasible to win over the Minister of Rites for her son, but when she saw the stupid things the mother and daughter did and the stupid words they said, she quickly gave up her previous idea.
If she really wants to bring the Guo family to her son's side, the mother and daughter should hold her son back.
The main reason why Concubine Lin gave up so quickly was because she felt that the Minister of Rites did not have much energy and could not be of much help to her son.
But Concubine Lin doesn't like daughters from military generals' families. She likes girls from scholarly families, so that they can be worthy of her talented son.
Concubine Lin gently persuaded, appeased Chen Yun's anger, interceded with Guo and her daughter, and made everyone's big matter become a trivial matter, and the matter passed just like that.
Chen Yun looked at Concubine Lin. This concubine was indeed very powerful. No wonder she had been able to compete with Concubine Rong for many years.
"For the sake of Prince Rong's palace, I won't pursue anything against the girl from the Guo family. It's not me who should be pursuing her," Chen Yu said.
"But I still have to advise the Guo family girl that human life is still very precious, don't kill others so easily." Chen Yu said and left.
She is too lazy to continue playing now. Although there are many people at this banquet, there are really not many people who can play with her.
Wang Xiuwan, who had just been paired with her for a while, actually didn't want to have a deep relationship with her.
As for the others, most of them looked down upon her identity - what happened to Princess Ning? They looked down upon her vulgar character who grew up in the countryside.
Therefore, Chen Xun didn't want to stay at today's banquet any longer.
The title "Girl" comes from the sentence "I didn't know Mulan was a girl". I'm not making this up.
