Zhang Yulu was stuffed with another mouthful of dog food, and she rolled her eyes in despair.
"I really can't stand you."
When Yulian saw Feng Yunxian, she remembered the exchange she had just had with Zheng, and couldn't help but make a bold guess in her heart.
"This person...couldn't he be the current Prime Minister?" She felt a little weak in her legs. She never thought that she would be able to see such a big shot in her lifetime.
"This is my mother's childhood friend. Just call her aunt with me." Mu Xuanyi introduced Feng Yunxian in advance. Feng Yunxian did not have any arrogance of a senior official and nodded to Yulian very gently.
Yulian opened her mouth wide, and then knelt down.
"Please, sir, make the decision for me! Save my daughter!"
"Yulian, what are you doing? If you have something to say, what's the point of kneeling down?" Her move shocked Zheng, but Yulian refused to get up, and she had to ask Feng Yunxian to agree to her.
Just give up.
"Get up first. If there is any grievance, I can redress it for you." Feng Yunxian was not uncommon in this kind of situation, and he handled it very professionally.
Under Mrs. Zheng's worried eyes, the group simply closed the stall and took a carriage to Yulian's house.
On the way, Yulian had already told them about the situation at home. It turned out that after she got married, she gave birth to a son and a daughter. Some time ago, her son reached the age of getting married, and the family did not have much money left.
Her man took the initiative and sold his daughter to an old bachelor to obtain a bride price so that he could find a wife for his son.
Yu Lian was not willing, but the man sent her daughter away while she was not at home.
Yu Lian almost cried and her eyes turned red, but she couldn't resist at all. Even if she wanted to go to the man's house, the door was closed and she wouldn't be allowed in at all.
She could only faintly hear her daughter's painful cries. Later, the family finally opened the door and told her that as long as she had ten taels of silver and paid back the bride price he gave her, she could take her daughter back.
It is also because of this that she is still setting up a stall outside at this time, hoping to collect money as soon as possible to take her daughter out.
"Sir, can you please help me take my daughter out first? I can slowly return the ten taels of silver to them. But my daughter is suffering there. As a mother, I am really worried." Yu Lian burst into tears.
Said with tears.
Several people listening nearby were very moved and could not imagine that such a thing would happen again.
"Yulian, why is your life so miserable?" Mrs. Zheng held Yulian's hand, also crying.
She thought her life was hard enough, but who knew her little sisters were not having a hard time either.
"I can help you bring her out, but this matter cannot be reported to the court, so I can't use my status as an official to make the decision for you, I'm sorry." Feng Yunxian said in a low voice.
Hearing this, Mu Xuanyi paused: "Isn't there anything in the law that can protect women's rights?"
Feng Yunxian looked at her with deep sorrow in his eyes: "As far as I know, not yet."
Seeing that the expressions of several women present dimmed, Feng Yunxian held her hand: "But since His Highness the Crown Prince has ascended the throne, I will mention this to him. Maybe we can add something like this by then.
law."
"If this law is really added, I'm afraid many people will object. If no truly outstanding women appear, even if this law is really added, it will not help." Zhang Yulu has been in the world all year round.
I have seen a lot of various things, so I naturally know how low a woman’s status is.
Feng Yunxian became silent.
Mu Xuanyi suddenly spoke at this moment, her voice was low and her emotions could not be heard.
“Just because we don’t have it now, doesn’t mean we won’t have it in the future.”
"Women should not be treated like this. They are all human beings, there is no such thing as superiority or inferiority."
An idea quietly formed in her chest, and Mu Xuanyi already had new ideas about her future goals.
"It's already so late. It's not too late. Let's go there quickly to prevent her daughter from suffering again tonight." Zhang Yulu gently patted Mu Xuanyi on the shoulder and said to her.
Mu Xuanyi nodded: "Okay."
It happened that their carriage was still there, and a group of people got on the carriage and headed towards Yulian's home.
On the way, Yulian kept crying, but it was Zheng who comforted her that prevented her from breaking down emotionally.
"If we just take the person away, they will probably want these ten taels of silver." Seeing that they had arrived, Mu Xuanyi pulled Feng Yunxian.
Feng Yunxian nodded.
That woman was abused at her husband's house. If Yulian wanted to take her away, it would be impossible without returning the ten taels of silver.
Even though Mu Xuanyi had known about this possibility long ago, her heart still sank when she actually heard the words from his mouth.
"Ten taels of silver is nothing to us, but if she wants to collect it all, she doesn't know how long it will take."
Although they could make up for the ten taels of silver, the verdict on this matter still did not satisfy Mu Xuanyi.
"When we go back and make more efforts, life will gradually get better." This concept has been deeply rooted in the mainstream and has been passed down for hundreds of years. It is definitely impossible to change it suddenly.
But Feng Yunxian thought it might be a good idea to give it a try.
Mu Xuanyi nodded, the door over there was opened, and the two of them walked over together.
"Why are you making all the noise in the middle of the night? Why don't you let people sleep?" A man cursed and went out. When they came over, the lights in this house were on.
But now the man looks like he has just put on his clothes, and his mouth is very dirty.
"The lights in your house are so bright, are you really asleep?" Seeing the black eyes in the man's eyes, Mu Xuanyi frowned, not thinking that the man's words had any credibility.
"I went to sleep when I said I was going to sleep. Who are you? Why should you care about me?" The man raised his eyebrows and was very unfriendly to Mu Xuanyi.
But when he saw Mu Xuanyi's appearance, there was still a look of greed in his eyes.
I don’t know how much money such a beautiful woman could be sold for, if she fell into his hands...
"What are you looking at? Believe it or not, I dug out your eyeballs?" Zhang Yulu was very dissatisfied with his look, and directly showed her weapon. The man was so frightened that his legs went weak, and then he urinated.
The smell emanated from his body, and everyone present looked disgusted.
Yulian couldn't care less and asked with concern: "Where is my daughter? I want to meet her."
"If you don't have enough money, why are you looking for her? Let's wait and see when you miss the money."
"Hurry up and get out of here, don't get in my way here!" The man cursed impatiently and pretended to close the door.
