Chapter 845: Bride Robbery is Prohibited
Chapter 845: Bride Robbery is Prohibited
During the meal, Song Yaoyao and Chen Yixiao talked about the traditional bride-kidnapping festival and the tragedies that Guagua had told her...
After hearing this, Chen Yixiao said angrily:
“If you hadn’t told me, I wouldn’t have known there was such a custom.
How can this be considered a custom? It's simply a bad habit.
If it weren't for this bad habit, you wouldn't have been arrested.
Fortunately you are okay.
I will issue a decree shortly to abolish this custom."
Song Yaoyao nodded with satisfaction:
"I think so too. This custom is really harmful to people."
……
It took more than an hour for Song Yaoyao to leave the palace.
The next morning, notices canceling the Bride-Kidnapping Festival were posted throughout Suyu City.
The crowd was in an uproar, and many people cheered!
Many people have suffered greatly from it. Now the country has finally banned the practice of kidnapping brides on the Bride Kidnapping Festival. Anyone who dares to kidnap a bride on purpose will be executed without mercy!
Many people went to the palace gate to kneel and express their gratitude!
Chen Yixiao had never expected that issuing such an edict would cause the people to take such actions!
At the same time, Chen Yixiao also sent people to quickly deliver this imperial edict to other state and county government offices.
The people in these states and counties also got the news very quickly. They cheered and kowtowed towards the capital!
Some people even celebrated spontaneously because of this incident, and the scene was as lively as the Chinese New Year.
After this incident, the people became even more optimistic about the current imperial court.
Since the Tianfeng Kingdom came to power, it has introduced many policies that benefit the people, and this time it has even banned bride kidnapping.
Because of this incident, the people are more supportive of the current court.
During this period, Song Yaoyao continued to patrol the streets every day as usual.
After Nian Xiaoqing's problem was resolved, Song Yaoyao relaxed a lot and was no longer as tense every day as before.
A few days passed in the blink of an eye. Song Yaoyao was patrolling the streets when she asked Gua Gua:
[Guagua, when will my grandpa and his family come? ]
Guagua: [Host, do you miss your parents? ]
Song Yaoyao: [Yes!
It's been more than a year since I last saw my parents, and I really miss them.
Now that Grandpa and the others are here, I can hand over the entire defense of Suyu City to them, and I can retire after completing my mission.
Guagua: [Calculating the time, your grandpa and the others will probably reach Suyu City in about twenty days.]
Song Yaoyao: [It still takes so long! ]
Gua Gua: [Your grandpa came with the army, and the soldiers are all on foot, so they are not that fast!
Wait a little longer! 】
Song Yaoyao nodded: [This is the only way.]
Guagua looked at Song Yaoyao's listless appearance and comforted her:
[It's been more than a year since I last saw your parents, so a few days won't make a difference.
Host, please hold on a little longer! 】
Song Yaoyao nodded: [I understand.]
Seeing that Song Yaoyao was still not in high spirits, Guagua said:
[Host, be cheerful. I'll find you a melon to eat.]
Song Yaoyao: [Okay.]
After a moment, Guagua's voice came out:
【Host, there is a big melon ahead.】
When she heard that there was some big news, Song Yaoyao felt that she was ready again.
Song Yaoyao sat up in shock from her dying illness and asked: [Where is it?]
Guagua: [It's not far ahead. Go to the end of this street and turn left. It's the third house.]
Song Yaoyao looked at the street and it was about 150 meters to the end.
Song Yaoyao couldn't help but quicken her pace and said to Song Qinghui and others beside her:
"Let's go quickly. I think I hear some commotion ahead."
After hearing this, Song Qinghui and the others couldn't help but twitch their lips.
In order to eat melons, Song Yaoyao's excuses are becoming less and less sincere.
Those with internal skills could hear the crying and commotion at the end of the street, but Song Yaoyao had no martial arts skills. She said she heard a commotion over there. This...
Everyone ignored the accusations that Song Yaoyao was not serious.
Song Qinghui and the others also quickened their pace, as they also enjoyed eating melons.
Soon, Song Yaoyao and the others reached the end of the street.
As soon as I turned left, I saw a lot of people gathered at the door of a house in front, and curses could be heard from the crowd from time to time.
Song Yaoyao quickened her pace
Song Yaoyao and the others quietly stood behind the crowd, and saw an old woman pointing at a woman on the ground and said viciously:
“Princess, you have no father or mother, you are just a merchant’s daughter. Our prince and his wife did not despise you and let you marry into our marquis’ mansion.
But you haven't had any children in six years since you got married. You've violated one of the seven grounds for divorce!
For the sake of the Marquis's mansion's prosperity, the lady took a concubine for the prince.
The prince is deeply in love with you and refuses to enter the concubine's room.
The prince is not at home today, so Madam can only divorce you on his behalf!
You should not blame Madam. There is really no other way. As long as you are here, the Marquis' Mansion will be cut off.
But don't worry, the Marquis' Mansion will not treat you unfairly and will give you a large sum of money, enough for your future living."
The woman lay on the ground and did not respond for a long time. Her face was covered in blood.
There was a discussion among the crowd:
"Just now, this old slave pushed the Crown Prince's Consort to the ground. She lay there unresponsive for a while. Could something have really happened?"
“She is simply a cunning slave. After all, she was once her master.
How dare a servant push his master like this?"
"I think she is just a bully!"
"I think the tutoring in this Marquis's Mansion is just so-so!"
"A cunning slave, a truly cunning slave. A slave like him should be beaten to death!"
……
The nanny who had just spoken looked extremely unhappy and scolded:
"presumptuous!
Shut up, all of you! I'm the Madam's wet nurse, and you can't slander me here!"
Although the nanny spoke loudly, it was obvious that she felt guilty and her voice was trembling.
Even if he wanted to divorce his wife, he could not kill the former Crown Prince's Consort.
If the former Crown Prince's Consort was really killed by this push in front of everyone, even if she was favored, I'm afraid the Madam would not be able to protect her!
This damn bitch, she must not die at this time, this is simply killing her!
The more the old lady thought about it, the uglier her expression became. She walked up to the woman on the ground and scolded her:
"Princess, I know you're angry, but you can't pretend to be dead here!
I admit that the force I used just now was a bit too strong, but I really didn't mean it.
Princess, please get up quickly!"
After saying this, the old lady stared at the woman lying on the ground, who was still lying there motionless.
The old lady's expression became even uglier:
"Princess, please stop joking with me. I can't stand being frightened.
I'm here to apologize to you, so stop pretending and get up!"
The woman on the ground remained motionless.
The old lady panicked:
"Princess, Princess, I was wrong. Please get up quickly!"
"Princess, Princess, please get up quickly!"
