Chapter 398 The Runaway Princess is Forcibly Taken Away (47)
Chapter 398 The Runaway Princess is Forcibly Taken Away (47)
In the second year of Xi Shuang's reign, in May.
The chase between Xia Youmi and Chunyu Huai came out of nowhere. It seemed that the other party had figured out her style and trajectory and finally began to strike at her head in the right direction.
Many times, Xia Youmi really couldn't handle it.
But she was always in high spirits every year, so she didn't spoil the mood.
In truth, her predicament was partly due to her own circumstances.
Improving women's physical fitness from top to bottom will naturally attract a large number of talented individuals. Even without Xia Youmi's planning, many long-dormant individuals will seize the opportunity to rise to the occasion.
With Chunyu Xi's tacit approval, it truly blossomed everywhere.
As new policies are announced one after another, some people will take the lead in trying to fight for them. The first thing to become popular in Beijing is women's freedom to divorce.
The divorce policy of previous years was just for show. Even if you managed to get a divorce, you would just leave your husband's family and your own family in disgrace, and find a Taoist temple to practice or end your life.
Now, it was only by chance that Chunyu Xi saw a memorial and thought that if it were Xia Youmi, she would want to get away with it without any loss. So he gave a completely new annotation, saying that the girl from that family was also quite swift.
Not only did they get things done, they also proudly announced it to the world.
Thus, from top to bottom, the preferential treatment given to members of high-ranking families and those who divorced and returned home became a trend, a manifestation of the family's power.
Many people have wanted to do this for a long time. Why should the bride's family keep the dowry and let the groom's family show their generosity?
Especially those with generous dowries are even more reluctant to give them up.
It's just that due to the prevailing social atmosphere in the court, it cannot be done openly and honestly.
Nowadays, even the wives and concubines of princes dare to apply for divorce. Many powerful families, seeing that they won't be blamed by the new emperor, are becoming increasingly emboldened. Each family has its own worries, and taking advantage of the clear situation, they are not afraid to offend the princes who have lost their opportunities.
For a time, many conflicts in the inner court of the capital were resolved.
Chunyu Xi led his men to make proper arrangements for the law and resettlement, allowing women from weaker maternal families to establish households and engage in business, resulting in a flourishing of various industries.
Under such circumstances, if the divorce is delayed, many industries that are interested in the business may become saturated.
Even the most reserved ambitious person will eventually succumb to temptation.
Therefore, even in the powerful Regent's residence, people began to submit divorce papers one after another.
Chunyu Huai didn't manage anything; he left all the affairs of the mansion to Shu Yan and the stewards he had arranged for the inner quarters.
At first, Shu Yan would help to refuse.
Then, when paying respects, he would accuse the other person of being restless.
However, not long after, a concubine bypassed Shu Yan and delivered the divorce papers to the steward of the inner quarters. Surprisingly, the papers were successfully sent out, and the approval was swift. She was allowed to take all her personal belongings with her.
They can also receive compensation from the government according to a set ratio.
This policy was specifically designed for royalty and nobility; they were required to willingly release people and even receive a share of the silver.
Shu Yan was furious. It was bad enough that the prince was never home, but he had actually slapped her in the face to this extent.
Completely ignoring it is because I am so engrossed in the inner rules and regulations of the household that I have neglected the trends and situation outside.
Seeing,
The two sisters had been living peacefully for a month without incident, and now they were boldly looking for new husbands, but the Regent showed no interest in doing so.
His entire being was devoted to politics and gunpowder.
It's simply a matter of letting the person in charge act according to the rules; the other party will naturally know how to cater to them.
Gradually, more and more people rushed to join in.
Some people were so audacious as to try to take the daughter away, and their idea was actually granted.
According to custom, children are supported by both parents and are not restricted to growing up in either parent's household.
Even a prince's daughter can be taken back to her parents' home by a concubine. Now, there are no more restrictions in the capital.
This further accelerated its popularity.
It's not that no one protested or tried to show off.
However, the government will definitely intervene if anyone bullies women by abusing their power.
After being imprisoned several times, the cells were overflowing, and everyone realized that it was for real.
If everyone does it, it's not shameful, and there are benefits to it in the end.
Some have even started suggesting that divorced individuals be allowed to participate in the Xi Shuang three-year talent show.
This has led to yet another major controversy.
but,
Because Chunyu Huai was never home, his backyard was left with only a few elderly people and some conservatives.
They really gave him freedom, a freedom that belonged to his soul, and he believed that he was no longer bound by the constraints of being a princess.
At least he can have a concubine, so Xia Youmi should obey and obediently cooperate with his inquisitive mind.
Instead of disappearing in a huff and playing a chase game.
Xia Youmi really didn't want to waste time educating him, but the other party was addicted to gunpowder research and development, and always managed to "coincidentally" run into him in the corresponding situations.
Based on intuition, I reasonably suspect that she is involved.
Furthermore, everything from medicine to anything outrageous was created by Xia Youmi.
It was to rebel against him.
Now, in the pursuit of knowledge, Chunyu Huai has gone from being completely unresponsive to being influenced by it to being swayed by knowledge in just half a year.
October of the second year of Xi Shuang's reign.
His thinking was already ahead of its time. Since the woman's divorce was progressing smoothly, could he apply for one too?
quickly,
Shu Yan then received a divorce notice from Chunyu Huai.
The twin daughters in the household had moved away with the concubines, and the only heir they had was Shu Yan's sickly son.
She believed that her position was absolutely secure.
Although there is always a restless heart, I also yearn for freedom.
However, her position represents more of a sense of dignity.
We absolutely cannot lose it!
However, her family members acted even faster than Shu Yan. They did not want to offend their master at all, and it involved the youngest sister of the Shu family's faction.
Given the Regent's temperament, the fact that he was willing to give a divorce agreement instead of a formal letter of separation was a great act of kindness.
Therefore, apart from her son, Shu Yan left this place of sorrow with half of the royal family's wealth.
Chunyu Huai also sent his concubines, who were retired, to the estate, where they were provided with good food and drink.
at last,
He thought he understood, having mastered the operation of female-oriented content without a teacher. Married men are expected to clean up their backyard for true love, and then happily go after new lovers.
To live a blissful life together, one love for life.
period,
The male protagonist's instincts made him quite logically consistent, convinced that this was what Xia Youmi wanted.
He gave his heart and everything, yet this person still wouldn't give him a chance to meet.
I always manage to spot her, but when I go looking for her, I only catch a glimpse of her figure; I can never catch her.
occasionally,
On a high platform not far from where Chunyu Huai was heartbroken.
Chunyu Xi put his arm around Xia Youmi and said, "Can't you really give your brother a chance to talk?"
He watched the man's disheveled state, his struggles and bewilderment.
I felt no sympathy or pity whatsoever; I just felt that this was self-inflicted.
but,
He was afraid that he would fall into such a situation and be treated so cruelly one day.
So, I wanted to test Xia Youmi.
If I do something, will the goddess forgive me?
Xia Youmi pinched his soft flesh, her smile not reaching her eyes, and said, "If you want to replace him, feel free to give it a try."
never mind,
It's better for the older brother to suffer more!
He couldn't possibly fail to embrace the goddess.
There are not so many prodigal sons who turn over a new leaf. It's just that people are too forgiving of the perpetrators, while the victims are "collectively" suppressed and unable to move.
Even the slightest resistance must be emphasized.
They amplify the humiliation through harsh criticism, then instill resentment and guilt in the kind-hearted victims.
Those above, enjoying the fruits of their labor, would stomp on them, urging them to hurry up and get back to work.
We can't let them go hungry or cold.
Phew!
They want it all, and they're justified in doing so.
They've wanted this for far too long.
