Yuan Qingling asked, "Then why is she guarding you?

She is not guarding against you if she is not guarding against others?

Do you know what you did?

Do I want me to tell you about your mean daughter-in-law all these years?"

The old lady rested on the ground and cried, "Grandmaster, please spare my life. Empress, the old woman is just afraid that she will run away and leave a few poor sons. I used to treat her well and spoiled her like Mingzhu. She cannot be ungrateful."

"Has she ran away?"

Yuan Qingling's voice increased and his expression became stern, "You should be better for her to avoid running away, rather than making things difficult for different ways. You used to think that if you have this house in hand, you could use the mother and son, but in fact, she had bought a house outside but didn't leave. Why do you think this is?

I'm still thinking about staying to see your house, right?"

"No...no, the old woman didn't mean that, please spare my life."

"Who wants your life?"

Yuan Qing said sternly: "I am asking you to cherish your blessings. You are young and widowed, so why don't you know the hardships?

Her life is already sad, and others know how to understand her miserable situation. What about you?

You are deliberately making things difficult for you, is there anyone like you, who is like a relative?"

The old lady burst into tears, not knowing whether she was afraid or really awakening. Yuan Qingling didn't ask her for the time being, but turned to ask Master Xu, "Your husband left early and could have remarried. Why didn't you marry at that time?"

Master Xu's eyes burst into tears, "There are three reasons for the Empress's words. The first is that he can't bear to leave his son. They are all flesh that falls from the belly of a civilian woman. If he finds someone to marry, he must leave them behind.

Second, as the mother-in-law of a civilian woman said, the deceased husband is very good to the civilian woman and is really pampered by the heart. The civilian woman does not want to forget him, nor does she want anyone to take his place.

Third, the deceased husband of the civilian woman was extremely filial. Before leaving, he was worried that his widowed mother would not know whether she could bear it. He was afraid that she would be lonely and helpless in the future, so the civilian woman would do her filial piety for him and guard her mother-in-law to serve her for the rest of her life."

Yuan Qingling's eyes were filled with care, "You are a person who values ​​love and righteousness, and I admire you."

"I dare not, I dare not!"

Master Xu didn't know what to say, but he just felt that everything in front of him was like a dream.

Yuan Qingling looked at the old lady again, "You can listen to your daughter-in-law and think about what you have done over the years, it's not too much."

The old lady cried even harder. She was used to being domineering and always had to hold everything in her hands to feel safe.

Mrs. Chen didn't expect that she had made things difficult for her daughter-in-law. After listening to their conversation, she sighed deeply and said, "Madam Lu, you used to be a teaching position in the mansion. The truth was one by one. Why did you feel so domineering and selfish when you were so domineering and selfish?

You are really disappointing."

The old lady reached out to pull Mrs. Chen's sleeve and burst into tears, "Madam, I know I'm wrong..." "What's the use of telling me?

The Empress is here, you tell me to go."

Mrs. Chen pulled her hands away.

The old lady went to ask Yuan Qingling to admit her mistake. Yuan Qingling shook her head, "What are you doing to admit your mistake with me?"

The old lady was stunned and looked at her daughter-in-law. She couldn't take this face down and admits her mistake, but the empress stared at her sharp eyes. She had to go over and said in a stuttering voice, "I... I was too mean to you in the past, you can forgive your mother..." "Now is not the time to admit your mistake."

Yuan Qingling interrupted her, "Acquisition in front of me may not be the one who really knows the mistake. I am not willing to say something today. Mrs. Chen, please listen to it, see if my words make sense."

Mrs. Chen suddenly felt solemn, "Please give me a lecture."

Yuan Qingling said: "Since the emperor ascended the throne, the law has been revised to protect the status of women. However, for thousands of years, the concept that women are inferior to men has been deeply rooted, and it has become the norm for women to be less expensive. There is a suppression of women by men here. But what makes me angry most is that women always despise women, and women always make things difficult for women. We women will not unite to protect our own interests, but will instead find a lot of reasons to excuse men and then further despise women."

"Just as the old lady of the Lu family did what she did today, her son died early and she left her daughter-in-law and a few children. She did not care about her, but instead made things difficult for her to make the daughter-in-law's life worse. Fortunately, Master Xu was strong enough and self-reliant enough to gain a foothold in the capital with a skill, and even set up a family business for her sons. If she was a little more fragile, she would probably have been hanging with her husband long ago."

"In today's era, the status of men is already solid, and it will not take a long time to change this.
