Rebirth: The Journey of an Heiress novel Chapter 1039

Chapter 1039: Chapter 1034: Instigation

The Bai family’s eighth girl, Bai Wanqing, who was focused on eating pastries, looked up, her chubby, white little face still covered in crumbs, and said in a childish voice, "Mother is right!"

Mrs. Li was amused by the little one, used a handkerchief to wipe the crumbs off Bai Wanqing’s face, and said, "Oh dear, our little Xiao Ba is eating so messily..."

The little girl tilted her head, obediently waiting for Mrs. Li to clean her face, then said in her childish voice, "Thank you, third aunt."

Mrs. Li smiled and patted the little bun on Bai Wanqing’s head, set aside her round fan, and picked up a teacup, seemingly casually saying, "I heard that today in Shencheng, Lord of Gaoyi invited many remarried widows. Whether remarriage is good or bad for these common women, it wouldn’t hurt for them to speak with the second girl of the Qin family before Minister Liu announces this time’s top scholar. Maybe they would question the new policy since it was set up for them."

How could those newly remarried widows think the new policy bad? How could they be suspicious? They were all deeply grateful to Bai Qingyan for encouraging widows to remarry, believing Bai Qingyan truly did a great deed for them! Whoever opposes this policy opposes their happy days, who can bear that?

After all, the widows who first remarried had strong personalities.

Upon hearing the words of the Bai family’s third lady, Mrs. Li, some bold widows stepped forward, knelt on the ground, bowed their heads, shouting, "This woman here is a remarried widow. I sincerely thank the monarch for establishing the new law for us widows, encouraging us to remarry! Those who haven’t been widows have no idea how hard the lives of common household widows are! It’s easy to talk when you’re not in it! I may not speak well... but from the bottom of my heart, I thank the monarch. If anyone dares to challenge this law, oppose the monarch, I’m the first to reject!"

"I don’t agree either!" Another widow stood up and knelt in front of the pavilion.

Before long, a succession of newly remarried widows knelt, saying that the new law saved their lives, allowing them to live well.

A noble lady, who disapproved of the Qin sisters’ behavior, sneered, "This encouragement for widows to remarry is set up for these women. The second girl of the Qin family is clearly not a widow, yet she has the nerve to publicly criticize the policy encouraging widows to remarry! Isn’t she afraid of being laughed at? Look, the widows themselves say it’s good... What kind of mischief is she up to?"

"The behavior of these two Qin sisters is truly disgraceful! Suddenly jumping out to publicly oppose the new policy of the monarch, isn’t this just trying to attract attention?"

"Precisely! The monarch’s new policy is for the nation and people... Even personally debated with the students at the Imperial College, and even they couldn’t fault it! Yet she has the audacity to use the new policy to force the Bai family women to remarry!"

"Exactly, the monarch’s new policy... allows widowed women to remarry, aiming to improve the status of us women, yet she, as a woman, instead of helping, hinders things for attention-seeking. Such self-degradation is truly disgraceful for us women!"
