After the cannon fodder father and daughter married into the family, the whole family regretted it

Chapter 944 (Gift 1 paragraph)

Last time, it was during the exile that they managed to save her mother.

Although half of the people were saved, it was still a good thing. If it weren't for Wan Sheng and the Dragon Guard taking action, Chen Zixi, who was still in the exile group, would not have been able to escape the pursuit of the people sent by Princess Dongyue.

At that time, Fang Nanzhi will no longer exist.

However, Wan Sheng was fined several hundred taels of silver for saving people.

Fang Nanzhi felt a pang of heartache.

Wan Sheng's calm demeanor almost cracked; how could this child speak so bluntly?

"Don't worry, it won't happen."

Fang Nanzhi nodded.

She actually felt that the powerful and wealthy's unbridled violation of the law would eventually leave behind a major hidden danger.

If the law is something that the powerful and wealthy can trample on at will, how can it be used to restrain people?

Moreover, their laws are problematic in themselves.

Fang Nanzhi had read many books on the system, including laws from various worlds, but she mainly focused on transaction laws.

That is, it's about business. Mainly because she opened a system shop and does business with people from different worlds, so she needs to understand it.

The differences between the worlds can be seen simply from their trading methods.

In some worlds, high taxes are levied on high-value goods, while in others, high taxes are levied on everyday items.

Many laws have tax exemption policies, and in some worlds, tax exemptions are granted for a certain period of time or for specific circumstances.

Some tax exemptions are for privileged individuals.

Fang Nanzhi privately believes that tax exemptions for individuals could easily lead to the rich getting richer and the poor getting poorer.

Ahem, getting back to the main point, after listening to the Ministry of Justice's case, Fang Nanzhi felt more and more that there were problems with their laws.

Unfortunately, she was just a young girl, powerless and helpless, and couldn't do anything about the problem.

I was thinking of having a chat with Qingyan when I had some free time.

Yao Xin walked over to them, her expression more serious than ever before.

"You shouldn't have come."

Fang Nanzhi snapped out of her daze and bowed: "Uncle Yao is my uncle's close friend and he once protected the Chen family's ancestral graves. It is only right and proper that I come."

"My uncle is gone, perhaps he also wanted to see Uncle Yao off. I hope Uncle Yao can get out of this gloom and have a bright future."

It's rather ironic to wish a bright future to someone who has been exiled and has an eye ailment.

But Yao Xin could tell that the girl was sincere.

Do you think I still have any hope?

Fang Nanzhi nodded, then, remembering that he couldn't see, spoke again.

"I was young before and didn't know, but after coming to the capital, I slowly realized that women in this world always have many hardships."

“A lively and lovely girl like me will always attract more attention than men when I see patients, and I will always have more troubles that other doctors don’t have.”

“I think Uncle Yao’s situation is similar, perhaps even more difficult than that of ordinary people.”

"But I'm so young and I can overcome difficulties. Uncle Yao is also very resilient. As long as he doesn't go down the wrong path again, he will definitely achieve something great."

These words coming from a young girl are truly shocking.

Yao Xin was deeply shocked. He knew the girl was intelligent, but he never expected her to be so insightful.

At such a young age, she had already seen through the harsh demands the world places on women.

The fact that she could openly express her feelings and offer comforting examples shows that she genuinely didn't care or feel afraid.

That courage alone is astonishing.

Even Wan Sheng was quite taken aback by these words.

"Then, do you feel wronged?" Yao Xin suddenly asked.

This question is a bit vague and unanswered.

But Fang Nanzhi understood. She was being asked if she felt wronged living in such a world where women were born with more restrictions than men.

Fang Nanzhi thought about it.

"More than feeling wronged, I feel confused and resentful."

"The formation of a social atmosphere always has a reason. I think this predicament may be related to the production structure of the imperial court."

"It can't be changed overnight, but a woman's sharpness can't be hidden in the end, just like Princess Sima and the great poet Li in history."

"When more and more women like this emerge, perhaps we will be able to do something."

Fang Nanzhi was full of confidence.

Her goal was to become a renowned female figure, and to leave a lasting legacy, shining like a bright star in the sky.

“Uncle Yao, you are the same. Sima Qian suffered castration, but he still wrote the Records of the Grand Historian.”

Fang Nanzhi didn't forget her original purpose and brought the topic back.

Perhaps those with physical ailments are more perceptive and insightful than others?

Yao Xin suddenly smiled.

Looking at the young girl, it seemed to remind him of his impetuous youth.

The long-dormant heart has been infused with vitality.

"Do you know why I killed the Grand Princess and then committed suicide?"

Fang Nanzhi shook her head.

She doesn't know.

During the public trial by the Ministry of Justice, Yao Xin refused to speak, so how could she know anything?

Even Wan Sheng couldn't help but look at him.

“We are all sinners. Zijun was sincere to the Grand Princess, but she chose imperial power over her husband.”

Yao Xin doesn't listen to anyone who tries to take advantage of her.

If you truly have no doubts, you can tell Ziju what you found out, or verify it privately.

Princess Mingzhu had her doubts, but she still presented it to the emperor, which shows that deep down, she still valued the Qing family's legacy.

“As for me,” Yao Xin sighed deeply, “the leak of the late emperor’s edict was because of me.”

Fang Nanzhi and the others stared at him in disbelief.

“Zijun and I share the same aspirations. He needs help, and I am the first person he turns to.”

"After learning about that imperial edict, my heart was filled with excitement. Several of the legal provisions aligned with my aspirations."

"But I was too young back then. When I was drinking with people, I was tricked into revealing a few words."

Although the specific contents of the late emperor's edict were not disseminated, clues were revealed.

Those people had already made up their minds to get rid of Ziju.

“We are all treacherous people, and we should have gone down to apologize to Ziju long ago.” Yao Xin’s expression was calm, and she seemed to have truly disregarded life and death.

"The Grand Princess said that if Zijun were alive, she wouldn't want me to die. If she were dead, it would be an escape, leaving behind only regrets."

It was because of this sentence that Yao Xin accepted the exile and stopped seeking death.

But he felt lost and empty inside.

I feel like I've become a walking corpse, and I'm going to live as a sinner to atone for my sins.

Fang Nanzhi's words today, however, gave Yao Xin some renewed energy.

Since Ziju's death, he has felt guilty, remorseful, and resentful. All he thinks about is dragging those people down to hell.

Finally, he atoned with his death.

Now that he can't die, perhaps he can do other things, such as continuing what Ziju didn't finish before she died, which is also what he once wanted to do.

Even if he's blind, he can still do his part, right?

Perhaps, this is the path he should take.
