SHE LIVE STREAMS MODERN LIFE TO ANCIENT PEOPLE AFTER FAILING TO CONQUER THE EMPE

Chapter 29: If She had Lived in modern times.......

Chapter 29
If only! If only she lived in modern times...

Then wouldn't she be spared from vying with so many other women for Pei Changying? Wouldn't she be able to have him all to herself for life...

In contrast to the envy and admiration of the concubines in the inner palace, on the other side, the officials in the main hall remained solemn and silent.

Especially the men under Pei Changying's authority, they felt an unprecedented challenge.

"Silence!"

Pei Changying wore an enraged expression: "Gu Sang, stop deceiving with your heretical words!"

"It is people like you who corrupt women, disregarding all propriety and morals!"

"What marital freedom? What freedom from parental interference in children's marriages? Such words are utterly unfilial and treacherous."

"Your blood flows from your parents, your life was given by your parents. You must repay them with your life."

Upon hearing this,

those wavering palace maids revealed a sense of inner struggle in their eyes.

Parents! Filial piety! The immense burden weighing upon everyone in ancient times!

Gu Sang heard this and scoffed in response: "Only truth and justice can enlighten people. If my words were not correct, how could they make you reflect and ponder?!"

"Parents raise me when I'm young, I care for them when they're old - that is the essence of filial piety."

"Filial piety, not blind obedience, and certainly not sacrificing one's happiness and freedom to satisfy one's parents at one's own expense!"

"Besides, the parents here are not like those in your world, who claim to love their daughters yet force them to marry the privileged as concubines."

"True love is to support each other, not to coerce, and certainly not to demand sacrifice! Only the incapable seek to change their fortunes by marrying off their daughters."

Boom—

Such earth-shattering words!

Have they gone mad? Insane? Why would a few sentences shake their beliefs of over a decade?

It was terrifying that they actually thought Gu Sang was right...

Love is to support each other.

Not to force daughters to marry the privileged, and certainly not to force them to marry someone they don't love!

For a moment, those officials who married off their daughters to privileged families averted their eyes in shame, choked with indignation, unable to refute her words.

"Report!!!"

At that moment!

An urgent voice came rushing in from outside the palace hall.

Before the person arrived, the voice rang out: "Your Majesty, urgent news from Baili."

Everyone was drawn to this voice.

The lofty Pei Changying received the report and glanced at it. Judging from his furious expression, it must have contained displeasing news.

"The drought has only just passed, and now I'm being told of a plague outbreak. Why weren't the initial plague victims executed and their bodies cremated immediately?"

"Instead of reporting it only after the plague has spread!"

"Ministry of Personnel, immediately issue my decree to imprison all officials who knew but failed to act."
