Ancient women awaken: loving yourself is the way to go

Chapter 125 Unity

Mo Hongyun opened the memorial and smiled, "If I had known that you were busy with this matter these days, I would have issued an order directly. I really regret not asking you and reducing the time we spend together."

"Can you understand?" Shen Xingxi sat next to him, "Or do you want to issue an order just because it's me?"

"Because it is your wish, I am willing to issue an order directly for you, but I can also understand your thoughts." Mo Hongyun hugged Shen Xingxi, buried his face in her neck and shoulders, and explained:

"I almost killed my father, so I understand the drawbacks of foolish filial piety. I also understand that it is not easy for a woman to be a housekeeper and she should be respected... I know even more clearly that even if I will be criticized by the people for issuing this decree, as long as what I do is right, people thousands of years later will still praise me as a wise ruler."

System: [This is the Seven Reasons for Divorce that has been modified based on modern thinking and the current situation. Mo Hongyun will definitely praise you as a wise ruler for this.]

【Well, I didn’t expect him to think this way. 】

The tacit cooperation between Shen Xingxi and the system made Mo Hongyun's lips curl up, "I will write the imperial edict and announce it to the world."

"We'll announce it to the world later." Shen Xingxi stopped Mo Hongyun's action, "First, call all the unmarried officials to the imperial study to discuss the matter. When someone comes to the palace to oppose the seven grounds for divorce, then announce it to the world."

Mo Hongyun: "Do you want to see if there are any wives who will directly tell their husbands about this?"

Shen Xingxi nodded, "I want to see which people can't be awakened, so as to avoid wasting effort in the future."

She kissed the corner of Mo Hongyun's lips, "Yunyun, there is one more thing I want to tell you. The eldest daughter of the Luo family tried to make trouble in class before, and today Madam Luo also wanted to make trouble. The Luo family is your mother's family. I hope you can talk to the head of the Luo family and see whether he supports the prime minister or you.

Also, I heard a little rumor that your mother is not really from the Luo family, you can check it out and make preparations early."

"Xingxi, you don't have to beat around the bush. I have already found out." Mo Hongyun lowered his eyes to hide the coldness in his eyes. "That's why I said that it is enough to save the prime minister's life. I'm sure when he finds out, he will completely stand on the opposite side of me."

"Just keep this in mind. I will no longer be involved in your affairs. If there is any need for matters in the court, tell me and I will cooperate with you. But I hope you can grow into a towering tree on your own and protect the people from wind and rain."

Shen Xingxi rubbed his head and said, "But today's incident was caused by me, and I am willing to take part of the responsibility.

For the people, you can reduce the tax grain collection this year. The previous emperor raised the tax grain too high, and it is only right to reduce it a little, and I am willing to make up for this part.

In addition, the benefit of the Seven Reasons for Divorce to women is that it prevents husbands from arbitrarily divorcing their wives. I think it can be changed to allow divorce if the husband is willing to give his wife 30% of his wealth, provided that the wife has done nothing wrong.

Mo Hongyun was stunned. Why would Xingxi propose conditions that were beneficial to the man?

He changed the question: "This is not good for women. If someone is really willing to give up one-third of his wealth, then won't the woman be divorced at will?"

"Yunyun, have you ever thought that the man who willfully divorces his wife is a good man? Since these people don't want their wives to take that position, they are very likely to use other methods. There are too many women in this world who died in childbirth even though they were pregnant. There are also many women who died because of their husbands' neglect, abuse, and scolding. It's better to divorce amicably than to do that."

Mo Hongyun opened his eyes wide, "So the jealousy clause of the Seven Reasons for Divorce states that if a woman becomes jealous because her husband has a concubine or an extramarital affair, she can ask for a divorce, and the husband cannot refuse. If the husband does not want the woman to occupy that position, it must be because of jealousy. This is the way out you left for the woman."

Shen Xingxi nodded, looking at the broad-shouldered and narrow-waisted man in front of him, and suddenly an idea struck her. She touched his head and said, "Yunyun is really smart."

Mo Hongyun glared at Xingxi, then bent down and lowered his head to make it easier for Xingxi to touch him.

Shen Xingxi liked Mo Hongyun's obedience so much that she put her hand down and hooked her little finger with his.

Mo Hongyun looked at the intertwined little fingers and raised the corners of his lips slightly.

Shen Xingxi arched her eyebrows, pinched his chin, and pressed her lips against his.

She always liked strong possession, watching Mo Hongyun retreat step by step with his clothes torn to pieces.

But this time, he was different from usual and kissed gently.

Like a spring breeze blowing on your face, it makes you feel comfortable.

But gradually, Mo Hongyun was aroused by the accumulating comfort. He was not satisfied with the status quo, but Shen Xingxi's movements were still very gentle.

He put Xingxi's hands on his abdominal muscles, and then put Xingxi's hands on his buttons.

However, he did not expect that his actions deepened his desire. Xingxi knew him too well, and every move he made could make his heart beat faster.

When Shen Xingxi came back to her senses, Mo Hongyun had already been pressed down on the table by her.

She kissed the back of his neck, but chose to hold him in her lap, her fingers resting on his legs.

……

The unmarried official had been waiting for a long time. Mo Hongyun put on a layer of pearl powder and went to the imperial study to meet the minister.

He followed Xingxi's instructions and waited to see if any ministers would come to stop him.

Unexpectedly, the Minister of Revenue would be the first to ask for a meeting.

Wu Ti pretended to bump into the Minister of Revenue accidentally and secretly gave the memorial to Yue Luo who was standing next to him. He was responsible for talking to the Minister of Revenue.

He didn't leave until Yueluo put the memorial back.

Those who arrived later were also treated in the same way, so that Yueluo knew clearly who came for the seven reasons for divorce.

After the personnel were confirmed, Mo Hongyun directly issued an edict and announced it to the world, and then summoned the officials outside the palace.

After the officials persuaded the emperor to rescind his order, Mo Hongyun changed the conditions for divorcing his wife according to what Xingxi said.

When the ladies received the news, they angrily smashed their teacups.

It must be these people who insisted on their decision that forced the emperor to change the conditions for divorcing his wife.

The Queen Mother was capable of getting the Emperor to issue an order directly, but she was almost defeated by those women who only had eyes for their husbands!

They must teach those ladies a lesson!

Just as I walked out of the mansion, the cold wind blew on my face, and I became a little more sober.

The four words "thinking in a different place" come to my mind.

Could it be that these women had no choice but to do so?

The changes to the Seven Reasons for Divorce are clearly in favor of women, and the noble concubine even gave them a way out. Is there really anyone willing to sabotage it?

So it is just as Mr. Yan said, a woman’s first reaction when something happens is to blame the other woman.

The reason for telling the husband about this matter is most likely that the wife is afraid that her husband will be angry about it or the wife wants to please her husband.

Both of these points show the difficult situation of women.

As the branches swayed, they silently chanted the word "unity" and their eyes gradually became firm.
