Chapter 447 Aggressive
Wei Lin's expression suddenly changed when she heard this. Mrs. Tian's words undoubtedly brought the unrelated princess into the conversation.

She came here today to congratulate the old concubine on her birthday. First, she wanted to put the Wei family back in front of the world and let people know that the former Wei University Scholar was still busy working for the morality of this world.

The Wei family was not favored by King Changling, so they had always relied on their father's students for support. Nowadays, the world is not good, and most of Wei's students are poor, so it is difficult for them to help as before.

The tailor shop that the family relied on for a living was taken back again, and they suddenly lost their source of income. With the addition of a few women who were just living on their own, the situation of the Wei family plummeted, and life became more and more difficult and embarrassing.

Wei Lin also wanted to come and talk to the old concubine to see if she could start from the old concubine and find an official position for Wei University Scholar, which would be better than drowning her sorrows in drinking all day long.

Who would have thought that Mrs. Tian would be involved in this.

Jing Li glanced at Mrs. Tian with a half-smile but not a smile. She saw Mrs. Tian's scalp was numb and she was complaining in her heart. She regretted that she should not have been so quick-spoken just now. In order to cure this girl from the Wei family, she actually involved the princess.

Now that the matter has come to this, Wei Lin bites the bullet and says: "Your Highness, the princess, a daughter of the people should say that she really saved the wrong person that day!"

"Oh!" Jing Li originally considered the old concubine's birthday and didn't want to argue with her. Seeing her talking like this, she felt that she probably couldn't be a big-bellied person and pretend that this never happened.

"Miss Wei family, I would like to ask, do you really know the situation in your cousin's family?"

Wei Lin frowned. Wei Chang was just a side branch. The mother and son were originally farmers in the countryside. They managed to sneak into the city by hunting for the Wei family.

At that time, her father was still in office. Seeing that Wei Chang was quite talented and a member of the clan, he helped mother and son again and again.

As for the situation at home, she heard what Wei Chang's mother said, but she really didn't know the details.

"I just heard it from my aunt," Wei Lin replied truthfully: "I don't think it makes sense for her to wrongly accuse her daughter-in-law!"

Jing Li smiled slightly and said, "It turns out that the eldest girl of the Wei family is also following what others say. Haven't you ever heard that hearing is false and seeing is true?"

Wei Lin looked a little unhappy: "As the elder of the family, how could my aunt wrongly accuse my daughter-in-law?"

Mrs. Tian smiled again and said: "Look at what Miss Wei said. Could it be that what your Wei family said is all the truth, and what others say is all lies?"

Jing Li ignored Mrs. Tian and then asked Wei Lin, "On the second day after giving birth, Fourth Lady Huang has to get up to wash and cook for her mother-in-law. Do you know this?"

"Your family gave Wei Chang a maidservant. Just because the maidservant gave birth to a son, Huang Siniang was to be taken as his concubine. Do your Wei family know about this?"

"Huang Siniang and her daughter were treated very harshly in the Wei family, and their food and clothing were not guaranteed. Do you, the Wei family, know about this?"

Jing Li didn't say anything about Wei Chang's friend who wanted to molest Huang Siniang. Now that the two have reconciled, Huang Siniang has also severed ties with her family, and no one can threaten her anymore. There is no need to talk about this anymore and make people feel troubled.

Someone at the banquet whispered: "It is said that Wei Chang behaves like a wolf. He often brings some libertines home to drink, and when he is happy, he asks his wives and concubines to accompany him!"

"Even his current son, I have never seen him belong to his family!"

Jing Li looked over with cold eyes, only to see that it was Mrs. Tian who was speaking. Seeing Jing Li looking at her, Mrs. Tian lowered her head and did not dare to say any more words.

Jing Li secretly thought that Mrs. Tian didn't know she had any deep grudge against the Wei family, and she repeatedly slandered the Wei family.

There was a faint hint of anger on Wei Lin's calm face: "Mrs. Tian, ​​women should be careful about their words. What do you mean by making trouble?" When Mrs. Tian saw that she was asking the question, she showed no mercy at all: "Miss Wei, it's really funny. Everyone in the next house knows about this. Your cousin's concubine was even carried out by someone. Someone witnessed it with their own eyes. Could it be that I am still stirring up trouble?"

Wei Lin's face immediately turned red: "Mrs. Tian, ​​don't talk nonsense!"

Mrs. Tian looked sarcastic: "Everyone in the alley knows that your cousin's house is full of chatter all day long, and your cousin-in-law decided to divorce just because she couldn't stand it!"

When Jing Li saw Mrs. Tian telling the story about Huang Siniang, her expression turned cold: "Madam, be careful what you say!"

Although she didn't like Wei Lin, she didn't like anyone criticizing Huang Siniang either.

Huang Siniang now lives and eats in the workshop every day. She wishes she could build the workshop overnight, and the girls in the courtyard will take care of her children.

She was more hard-working and energetic than those white-bones in the workplace in later generations. Jingli admired such a woman and was willing to give such a woman a chance, not wanting her to be criticized again.

When the old concubine saw that Mrs. Tian was getting more and more excessive, her face became cold.

Now that Prince Tai's palace is in decline, the people who come and go are somewhat uneven, so much so that Mrs. Rutian and the likes of Prince Changling are actually together.

In the future, we must pay attention to the candidates who come and go, and we can no longer allow people who are incapable of judging people's faces to appear in the hall.

After Wei Lin calmed down her anger, she said sternly: "If her husband is like this, she will not obey. If she is bullied, she should die to prove her innocence, instead of living in shame and quarreling with her husband's family!"

As soon as these words came out, there was a sudden silence in the table, even the old lady looked a little unpredictable.

As for the women in the seat, a few of them quite agreed, while the rest were disdainful.

Jing Li looked around and sighed in her heart, thanks to the fact that she came to this world, there is no so-called Zhu Cheng Neo-Confucianism popular in this world, and it has not poisoned women into the abyss.

And because of the weirdness of the royal family in this Dafeng Dynasty, compared with the bound-footed dynasties in later generations, the women of this era were relatively much better off.

Although there are also actions like that of the Huang family, where a woman is drowned if she is not careful, in the end it is still much better.

Wei Lin's words would probably have been supported by many people in later generations, but now that moral ethics have reached rock bottom, what she said is a bit unreasonable.

Jing Li couldn't help but ask: "Dare you ask Miss Wei, is there no other way for a woman to do anything but obey and die when her husband and mother-in-law bully her?"

When Jing Li said this, his expression was warm, but the cold air emanating from his whole body made everyone in the audience understand that this person had actually killed someone, and had come out of a mountain of corpses and a sea of ​​blood.

Mrs. Tian shrank her neck, wishing she could shrink into a quail so that no one could see her.

She had been too bold just now and had forgotten how scary the princess was. Now she realized that she was panicking. On a July day, her back was soaked with cold sweat.

Wei Lin frowned and said, "Yes, a woman regards her husband as her heaven and should obey the will of heaven and not go against it!"
