After the death of the previous emperor, the Empress Dowager became arrogant

Chapter 243 Detoxification

Although Emperor Yuanheng was the eldest son of a concubine, his mother had had two husbands. She was secretly ridiculed for this, saying that he tried to confuse the royal bloodline with his humble body and almost lost the throne that was within his grasp. Even though his identity as a prince was later confirmed, this matter had always been hidden in his heart, like a thorn. He once resented his biological mother for not being a good woman. Therefore, after ascending the throne, he vigorously improved the status of pedantic Confucian scholars in the court and used the three obediences and four virtues to regulate the words and deeds of women all over the world. Walking without showing feet, smiling without showing teeth, covering the face when going out, and not seeing outside men became the virtuous image that women at that time were vying to emulate. The atmosphere was developing more and more in the direction of feudalism.

These rules are not clearly written in the law, but like shackles, they imprison women in the cage of morality, turning them from being unwilling to resist at first to being numb and bound by themselves later.

There is still a long time to go on the road to awakening. She cannot speed up the progress of history, but she has to do something in this situation.

Even if it's just a little bit, it will accumulate into a lot and eventually become rivers, lakes and seas.

Before Yoko could react, the woman twisted her body and walked up to Li Weijun, looking like a little woman.

Why don't you just stay at home?

Li Weijun pushed her away without leaving a trace. Although his tone was still cold, it contained a bit more concern and reproach than when he spoke to Yoko.

Isn't this looking forward to your return?

The woman giggled a few more times, turned around and saw Yoko standing silently behind her. She deliberately moved closer to Li Weijun as if to show off.

Hey, isn't this Sister Rose?

I was wondering why I haven't seen you in Baili for a while. It turns out you were secretly enjoying yourself here in Li!

That's good. I will stay here for a while, and we will have plenty of opportunities to reminisce about the past in the future.

When did Sister Rose become a soldier? How come we sisters don't know anything about it?

Looking at Hong Mudan's questioning face, Yoko rolled her eyes and took a few breaths, fearing that if she was not careful, the fist would hit her in the face.

I don’t know what purpose you have in approaching him, nor do I know what use you are to him.

But I'm in a bad mood today, so I'm using you to vent my anger. If I don't show some jealousy, people will think that I, Mrs. Li, am just a decoration made of clay!

Although, my identity is indeed just a decoration...

Li Weijun took in all her little emotions. It was not easy to see this kind of expression that only ordinary women have on the always calm Yoko.

gentlemen……

Instead, Aunt Zhang on the side looked at this and that, extremely anxious.

Don't worry about this matter. I know what I am doing.

Although I know that the husband must have his reasons for doing this, but he brought a woman home for no reason to annoy his wife. You will have to coax her in the future!

Mrs.....

Aunt Zhang, please go and pour us a cup of tea. I'll go back to my room and be down right away.

It's been a long time since we last met...

Before we reminisce about the past, I want to make a few things clear to you, so that word doesn't get out that our family traditions are lax and it brings shame on the governor.

First, I am a woman, but you call me sister again and again.

What, are you my biological sister, or have we ever been sworn brothers?

I know this, we are old acquaintances, so it is normal for us to call each other sisters, right?

If you don't know, you might think we are ignoring the important things and looking for some so-called sisters to accompany me and have fun all day long. Isn't this a bad reputation?

Second, you said you would stay at Li Mansion for a while, but I don't know in what capacity and for what reason?

If this is someone Du brings back, you don't need to tell me anything. Aunt Zhang and I will treat you well. After all, we are all family.

But if you are our Du's guest, please keep your duty as a guest. If something really happens, no one can save you. Third, although Du and I have never held a wedding, I am also Mrs. Li, whom he has acknowledged in front of everyone.

Do I need your consent to marry him? Or can you decide my life on behalf of my father?

Therefore, it is better to have rules for everything, so as not to mess things up. After saying this, Yoko secretly looked at Hong Mudan's face while drinking tea, and calmed down her mood.

As I expected, Red Peony's motives were indeed not pure. Seeing her was like seeing me when I first entered Li Mansion.

Alas, why did you teach her a lesson on impulse? What if she is Li Weijun's favorite? You will be happy, but she will not be happy. Wouldn't it be a matter of a blink of an eye to kill you?

Mistake, Mistake...

After Hong Mudan was scolded by Yoko, the embarrassment on her face lasted only for 7 seconds, but she recovered quickly.

Mrs. Li is right.

After all, we are all here for the same purpose.

Hong Mudan deliberately left an ambiguous sentence in front of her, which shocked Yoko.

The same purpose?

Is she talking about a person or an event?

Aunt Zhang, I have a few words to say to you.

Oh, I understand.

That sir...

Yoko glared fiercely in the direction where Li Weijun left, but when she noticed Aunt Zhang's teasing look, she quickly retracted her glare.

Who cares what he thinks now? As long as that woman doesn't stir up trouble here, I'll be happy!

Second Master, he is here.

Yoko, who was sitting in the hall, looked at the butler who reported the news in confusion, as if she was trying to confirm whether the person who came was Li Weijun, but the butler had a serious face and then thought about it and gave up.

I want to know who is coming, why don't you ask me?

Maybe I was in a good mood today and told you accidentally.

Yoko snorted a few times to express her disagreement.

Fu Mingche laughed quietly. What an interesting woman indeed. No wonder Li Weijun wanted to keep her in a beautiful house!

Li Weijun walked into the lobby without saying a word, but just glanced at Fu Mingche and Yoko.

Sir, you looked so sunny just now, how come you look so cloudy in just a moment?

Sure enough, the gentleman's heart is also a needle in the sea...

Have you dealt with your matter?

Those good-for-nothings are not worth my effort. Someone will take care of them. This is really the way your army operates.

By the way, the dance is such a glamorous world, why didn’t you bring anyone back? After saying that, Fu Mingche deliberately glanced in Yoko's direction, causing someone to glare at him, and he almost pounced on him and strangled him.

Go and ask your wife to come home.
