Chapter 520: House Fight Turns into Thriller 59

After hearing this, the women finally couldn't help but stand up and glared at Li Yifeng. One of the women in gorgeous clothes even stepped forward and pointed at Li Yifeng and shouted, "How can you be so arrogant and unreasonable? Although we are women, we also have a heart for the country and the people. Why do you belittle us like this?"

Li Yifeng was scolded by the woman, and his face became even uglier. He stared at the woman with wide eyes, as if he wanted to eat her alive. However, at this moment, footsteps were heard outside the study, and then an old man in official uniform walked in. He was the prime minister of the dynasty, Zhao Yuanba.

As soon as Zhao Yuanba entered the room, he saw this scene. He frowned slightly, and his eyes wandered between Liu Hui, Li Yifeng and those women. After a moment, he said in a deep voice: "Shut up! This is the study room, a place for discussion, not a place for you to quarrel."

Everyone fell silent after hearing this. Zhao Yuanba walked up to Liu Hui, looked at her and said, "Lord Liu, this matter started because of you. Can you tell me what happened?"

Liu Hui bowed slightly and told the whole story. After listening, Zhao Yuanba turned his eyes to Li Yifeng and said sternly: "Mr. Li, as the son of a famous scholar, you should be well-educated and know right from wrong. How can you look down on women like this? Do you know how many women in this world have used their talents and courage to write their own legends?"

Li Yifeng blushed at what Zhao Yuanba said. He lowered his head and dared not look Zhao Yuanba in the eye. Seeing this, Zhao Yuanba sighed and continued, "Mr. Li, you know that the prosperity of our dynasty is inseparable from the efforts and contributions of every minister. Regardless of whether they are men or women, as long as they can contribute to the country, they should be respected and recognized. If you can understand this truth, you will no longer have such prejudices."

Li Yifeng was touched when he heard this. He raised his head and looked at Zhao Yuanba, with a flash of guilt and remorse in his eyes. He lowered his head and said softly: "What the Prime Minister has taught me is that I am too narrow-minded and too ignorant. Please forgive me, Prime Minister."

Seeing this, Zhao Yuanba nodded and softened his tone: "It is a great virtue to admit one's mistakes and correct them. If you can put aside your prejudices and feel the world with your heart, you will find that women are no worse than men. They also have their own dreams and pursuits, and can also contribute to the country."

Li Yifeng felt even more guilty when he heard this. He looked at the women with a bit of apology and respect in his eyes. He walked up to them and bowed deeply: "Sisters, I was wrong. I was too narrow-minded and too ignorant. Please forgive me."

Seeing this, the women showed understanding looks. One of the women stepped forward to help Li Yifeng up and said, "Mr. Li, it's good that you can admit your mistakes and correct them. We women don't want to compete with men like you for anything. We just hope to get the respect and recognition we deserve in this world."

Li Yifeng was moved when he heard this. He looked at Liu Hui with a bit of admiration and gratitude in his eyes: "Master Liu, today's incident has benefited me a lot. If I could meet you earlier, maybe I wouldn't have such prejudice."

Liu Hui smiled slightly and looked at Li Yifeng: "Mr. Li, you are too kind. As long as you can understand this truth, it will be the greatest affirmation of me."

At this moment, there was a commotion outside the study. Everyone looked outside and saw a group of men gathered there, pointing and talking. In their hands were the poems that suppressed women.

Seeing this, Liu Hui frowned slightly. She stood up, walked to the door of the study, and looked at the men: "Everyone, what are you doing?"

When the men saw Liu Hui coming out, they all stopped talking. One of the men stepped forward, bowed and said, "Master Liu, we are just discussing some poetry and songs here. We have no other intentions."

Liu Hui looked at the poem in the man's hand and understood everything. She sneered, "Discussing poetry? Humph, I think you are taking this opportunity to suppress women, right?"

The man's face changed slightly when he heard this. He argued, "Master Liu is wrong. We are just discussing the matter. We have no other intentions."

Liu Hui stopped arguing with him and turned to look at the crowd: "Everyone, you know that what is said in these poems is injustice and discrimination against women. As scholars, you should distinguish right from wrong. How can you help the tyrant to commit atrocities like this?"

The crowd fell silent upon hearing this. They looked at Liu Hui with awe and confusion in their eyes. After a moment, an old man stepped forward, bowed and said, "Master Liu, what you said makes sense. Scholars like us should be able to distinguish right from wrong. How can we be blinded by these prejudices?"

Liu Hui nodded and continued, "Everyone, women are also human beings. They also have their own dreams and pursuits. How can we deny their efforts and achievements just because of their gender? The prosperity of our dynasty is inseparable from the efforts and contributions of every minister. Regardless of gender, as long as they can contribute to the country, they should be respected and recognized."

The crowd nodded in agreement when they heard this. They looked at the men with a bit of dissatisfaction and reproach in their eyes. Seeing this, the men lowered their heads, not daring to look directly into the eyes of the crowd.

At this time, a young woman came out. She held a scroll of poems in her hand and walked to Liu Hui: "Master Liu, this is a poem written by my daughter. I wish to clear her name."

Liu Hui took the poem and read it carefully. The words in the poem were sincere and the emotions were genuine. The words revealed the woman's struggle and perseverance against fate. After reading the poem, she felt a surge of emotion in her heart and looked up at the woman: "Good poem! Good poem! What's your name?"

The woman bowed slightly and replied, "My name is Lin Wan'er."

Liu Hui nodded and handed the poem to Zhao Yuanba: "Prime Minister, please come and appreciate it."

Zhao Yuanba took the manuscript and read it carefully. After a moment, he raised his head and looked at Lin Wan'er with some admiration in his eyes: "Good poem! Good poem! Miss Lin is so talented, it is really a blessing for our dynasty."

Lin Wan'er smiled brightly when she heard this. She looked at the men with a hint of provocation and disdain in her eyes: "Humph, you men are nothing more than this."

The men were all furious when they heard this. However, at this moment, there was a burst of applause from the crowd. Everyone applauded and cheered for Lin Wan'er's talent and courage.

Seeing this, the men lowered their heads and dared not say anything. They knew that it would be futile to say anything more at this time. Zhao Yuanba looked at this scene and felt relieved. He knew that today's incident had made many people start to reflect and re-examine the status and value of women in this world.
