After the ten major gates were cleaned, Qi Jiu issued a holy decree to restore the old practice of many years ago, and the people from the ten major gates entered the Qin Heavenly Prison, and sent people to keep vigil and patrol the city at night.

Although she solves small things every day, she is also quite happy.

Fortune-telling has become a habit.

After the lunch break that day, Ye Xianya went to her small courtyard for fortune telling.

A young woman sitting under the eaves caught her eye.

The woman was still very young, looking about twenty years old, but there were several bruises on her face, and there were freshly scabbed wounds on her forehead.

She didn't wear a veil to cover it, and she seemed quite calm in the face of everyone's strange eyes.

Ye Xianya saw that she was holding a number plate in her hand, so she didn't say anything, and it was not too late to tell the woman later.

Ever since she knew that ordinary women in this world were living more difficult than she had imagined, Ye Xianya couldn't help but feel sympathy.

As the emperor, although Qi Jiu promised to change all this, freezing three feet is not a day's cold, and some things will take a long time to do, and it is impossible to see immediate results.

The status of women is still very low, and they are also vulnerable to bullying at home.

In her life, she also wants to do what she can for these ordinary people.

When the person was almost halfway through, it was the young woman's turn to tell the fortune.

She took out five cents from her arms and put it in the disk in front of Ye Xianya, rubbed her hands, and said after a while: "Please princess help the women calculate, the women's ......"

The woman was slightly stunned when she said this, and only after a moment did she say: "That's it, don't forget the people's women, bother the princess!" ”

"Yuan Niangzi, this is your only chance to live, are you sure you don't want to?" Ye Xianya said.

Yuan Niangzi, who had already walked to the door, listened to her words, her steps paused, her whole body trembled, and after a while, she turned around and looked at Ye Xianya, and knelt down suddenly.

Shen Furong, who was standing behind Ye Xianya, hurriedly went over and helped her up.

Yuan Niangzi sat on the chair, and after a while she calmed down, and said in a trembling voice: "Princess, the woman wants to ask, the husband and mother-in-law of the woman...... How long will they not embarrass me, especially my mother-in-law, who will survive for a few years? ”

After Yuan Niangzi finished speaking, she took out a handful of copper coins from the purse around her waist and put them in front of Ye Xianya.

She knew that the princess would definitely not look down on her copper coins, but the princess counted the hexagrams, and it was five cents a count, and the things she asked were not one, so she naturally gave more points, so that she could feel a little more at ease.

"As a daughter-in-law, the woman shouldn't have expected her mother-in-law to die, but the woman really can't stand it, please help the woman calculate, what if...... If there are still many years, the women of the people ...... The women don't have to go on! When Yuan Niangzi said this, she couldn't cry.

As a daughter-in-law, looking forward to her mother-in-law's death, this is a big rebellion.

But if the mother-in-law didn't die, she wouldn't be able to live.

If she had to wait a few more years, she would have committed suicide by jumping into the river to end all her suffering.

If there is still a year and a half, she will grit her teeth and hold on.

"As long as you are alive, they will continue to torment you until you die, and it will never be possible for your conscience to find out and spare you!" Ye Xianya pinched his fingers and said.

After listening to her words, Yuan Niangzi's face turned pale and terrifying.

"As for how many years your mother-in-law can live, in fact...... She was long dead. Ye Xianya said.

Yuan Niangzi's eyes widened when she heard this, and she couldn't believe what she had heard.

"This ...... This ......" she swallowed, and only after a moment did she say, "But princess, I was hit on the arm and back by my mother-in-law with a cane when I went out early yesterday morning, and she is not dead!" ”

In order to prove that she was not lying, Yuan Niangzi hurriedly pulled up her sleeves, her arms were bruised, and there was an obvious mark in it, which looked like she had been beaten for a short time, and she was still a little red and swollen.

The world said that the princess was innocent, and she did not dare to question what the princess said, but her mother-in-law was really alive.

"When I got married five years ago, my mother-in-law sat on the high hall, we gave her a salute and tea, although there are not many people in our village, but the relationship between the neighbors is not bad, they are very familiar with my mother-in-law, yesterday next door when Aunt Wang went up the mountain to pick wild vegetables, and called my mother-in-law, I watched them go up the mountain, I am sure, my mother-in-law has been living well." Yuan Niangzi said a little eagerly.

Although she dreamed that the old woman would die, she was still alive.

"In your village, there are only 11 households in total, and there are more than 50 villagers in total, right?" Ye Xianya asked softly.

"Yes!" Yuan Niangzi nodded hurriedly: "Liujia Village is smaller, but there is a lot of land, the villagers are also very hardworking, many people are working at night, so everyone lives a very solid life, because of this, I have been married for the past five years, and I have not come out, looking at those people next door have children, but we don't, my mother-in-law is getting worse and worse for me......"

She thought that if she worked hard and gave birth to a child earlier, her mother-in-law and husband would not always beat her.

When she returned to her parents' house last year, her mother took her to see the doctor, who said that she was fine and could have children.

The doctor said that nine times out of ten, her husband had a problem.

She went back and told her husband about it, and wanted her husband to go to the hospital to take a look, but she was beaten half to death, and her mother-in-law and husband said that she was a waste who couldn't lay eggs, and dared to question that men couldn't live, so damn it.

"They said that if I can't conceive again this year, they will divorce me." Yuan Niangzi said and covered her face and cried: "The woman who was divorced will be criticized after returning to her parents' house, my father and brother also said that there can be no divorced people in our family, otherwise it will be difficult for my sister and two little nieces to say goodbye in the future, I ...... I'm afraid there's only one way to die. ”

Ye Xianya frowned tightly when she heard this: "Didn't the emperor make a holy decree to encourage widows and returning women to remarry?" The decree also said that women are allowed to take the initiative to reconcile and leave, and if the man goes too far, he can also leave his husband. ”

Yuan Niangzi was stunned when she heard this, and said after a while: "Princess, if you are a noble daughter from a family, and you have the support of your father and brother, when you marry a non-person, you will naturally have a way out, but the people are just ordinary women, and the father and brother are not on the side of the people's women. ”

Ye Xianya frowned when she heard this, and only said after a while: "Let's not talk about this first, when I solve your mother-in-law's matter, everything will naturally be solved, I said, she has already died." ”

Yuan Niangzi was stunned: "But...... But she is really alive, I heard that ghosts are afraid of the sun, and generally do not dare to appear during the day, but she wanders around the yard every day, although she rarely works in the field, and leaves all the farm work to me and my husband, but my mother-in-law likes to pick wild vegetables and climb mountains! ”
