The man standing in front of the stage and speaking was wearing a water-blue robe. He was tall and handsome, and he spoke with his head held high and his chest puffed out. He was arrogant and said in an irresistible tone, "The Queen is the mother of a country. Her father, Xie Lanfeng, is a great scholar in the literary world who promotes etiquette. She should understand what it means to be virtuous and to be in a position better than an ordinary woman."

"If you were a common woman, it would be understandable to do some small business in secret without causing any harm to anyone. But you are the noble queen, but you went to the Xie's shop and shouted "Queen of Dim Sum" loudly, doing the business of merchants. You made the women in the imperial city take you as an example, not taking good care of their husbands and children at home, not caring about the affairs of the harem, not caring about their husbands' food, clothing, housing and transportation, and not behaving like a wife. This has greatly affected the atmosphere in Yanjing."

"This kind of evil trend should be stopped immediately. Please, Queen, be a good woman, manage the harem well, focus on the emperor's offspring and concubines, be a good queen of Yan, set an example for women all over the world, be tolerant and generous and accept more noble ladies into the palace to serve the emperor, and give birth to children for the emperor, and think about the country and the people."

The man spoke confidently in a loud voice that could be heard throughout the theater.

A group of talented scholars from the Wen Ya Pavilion standing behind him applauded and praised the man's words and actions.

No one thought that what the man said was wrong.

They all think that a woman should regard her husband as her heaven, that men should be the breadwinners outside while women should be the homemakers, taking care of the house, serving the parents-in-law, supporting the husband and raising the children, so that the husband who is working hard outside can have no worries.

This is how women should be, and it should be so!

If they want to take even a step out of the harem, they would be considered heretics, unfaithful to women and unworthy of being wives.

Then, as the mother of a country, she should also stick to this bottom line, otherwise, it would be the fault of Xie Jinyun, the queen.

At this time, a woman slowly stood up from her seat.

She is Gu Jiangyu, the eldest daughter of King Xiping.

"Sir, if you say so, all the men in this family would be dead."

After the man heard what Gu Jiangyu said, he frowned and said unhappily: "Madam, is your husband dead?"

The faces of the maids and servants around Gu Jiangyu all changed.

When the nanny beside her was about to scold the man, Gu Jiangyu replied calmly: "Yes, my husband died a long time ago."

The man sneered, "No wonder, your husband died early and there was no one to discipline you, so you came out in broad daylight and quarreled with others. I guess you are not a virtuous woman in your husband's family."

"How dare you." Qin Huaiqing walked out and shouted angrily.

The man recognized Qin Huaiqing and knew that Qin Huaiqing was the head of the Qin family. He also wanted to become a retainer of the Qin family, but was rejected by Qin Huaiqing.

He was quite afraid of Qin Huaiqing, so his expression softened a bit, he raised his hand and bowed, saying: "Master Qin, do you have any relationship with this woman?"

When Qin Huaiqing turned to look at Gu Jiangyu, his eyes radiated a soft light: "She is the fiancée of this family master, kind-hearted, well-educated and well-mannered, and the eldest daughter of the King of Xiping. How can you be so presumptuous and commit crimes against your superiors?"

The man frowned, not only did he not change his expression because Gu Jiangyu was the eldest daughter of King Xiping, on the contrary, he calmly raised his hand and saluted Gu Jiangyu, and then said: "Since you are the eldest daughter of King Xiping and the fiancée of Master Qin, then at today's debate conference, as a royal lady, you should stay quietly behind Master Qin and observe the etiquette of a woman, and you should not steal the limelight and speak ill of others. Isn't Miss Gu's words just now a curse to all the women and husbands guarding the back house in Beijing to lose their lives?"

After hearing these inflammatory remarks, Qin Huaiqing slammed the table.

However, Gu Jiangyu picked up the teapot on the table and smashed it onto the stage.

With a clang, the teapot broke into pieces. The man subconsciously raised his foot to avoid it, with an angry look on his face...
