Do Not Offend the Reborn Wicked Wife

Old Liu’s son suddenly had blood streaming from the back of his head. He turned around in disbelief to look at his sister, his face a mix of horror and anger, but his body collapsed softly to the ground, frightening Old Liu and his wife, who immediately rushed towards him.

"Ran’er! What are you doing?! He is your own brother!" Mrs. Liu lamented.

"Bah! He’s not worthy!" Liu Ran’er said with a heart as hard as iron.

"Ran’er, you! Alas..." Old Liu hung his head in sorrow, feeling his son’s breath, clearly gone.

The sister had killed the brother, leaving the elderly parents to send off their child, instantly aging ten years.

Suddenly, in a fit of rage, Old Liu grabbed his daughter’s arm and shouted, "You heartless, venomous girl! Come with me! I’m going to report this to the authorities! Give me back my son’s life!"

Mrs. Liu hastily approached to stop him but was pushed aside by Old Liu.

Liu Ran’er laughed bitterly, "Go ahead, go ahead, let our whole family die! You raised me, I am grateful, but you spoiled my brother and almost pushed me into hell, and I won’t accept it! Why can’t we women be treated equally? Aren’t we human???"

These words deeply moved Long Yue, who had only walked a short distance away, and she stood frozen in place, feeling her heart shaken like never before. Yes, are we daughters not human?

In this feudal and conservative environment, the preference for sons over daughters was common. Men could continue the family line and attend school, while girls could only stay home to learn needlework and household chores.

When they turned ten or so, they would be married off to a stranger as a wife to serve a whole family.

If they weren’t careful, they would be scolded by the mother-in-law and beaten by the husband. Are we daughters not human?

She abruptly turned back and pushed Old Liu aside, saying coldly, "Your son deserved to die. I also wanted to kill him just now. If you feel bad about it, arrest me and report it to the officials!"

"Me too!" Li Qingmu had returned.

"Arrest us too. Maybe we shouldn’t have helped you!" Fang Shijie said angrily.

"Ah? This..." Old Liu was bewildered. These people were notorious Jianghu warriors who killed without blinking. If he angered them, how would his entire family survive?

He immediately put on a smile, slapped himself twice, and said, "Please don’t be angry, noble heroes. I was confused. I won’t send Ran’er to the government office anymore. Please leave quickly."

He planned to send away these threatening people first and then consider how to deal with his daughter.

But unexpectedly, Long Yue walked straight over and grabbed Liu Ran’er’s hand, saying, "Sister, if you can’t stay home, come with me. I won’t let anyone bully you."

Liu Ran’er, although outwardly weak, had a strong will inside, especially in the moment she decided to kill her brother, which highly impressed Long Yue.

That kind of scoundrel deserved to die!

Her words resonated deeply with Long Yue. Why indeed should daughters be inferior to men? Without women, where would men come from! More girls must understand this truth!

Previously, Long Yue had lived in seclusion, only caring for children and doing embroidery, but she was suddenly inspired and thought she could spend money to open a private school specifically for girls to read and learn.

To change their destiny, they must first open their minds. Reading is the first step. In the future, she wanted to open more girls’ private schools, allowing more girls to stand up!

Thinking of this filled her heart with warmth, and she looked at Liu Ran’er with determination.

Someone suddenly suggested taking her away, making Liu Ran’er hesitant, for this was the place where she grew up and the parents who raised her. Leaving with someone else felt unfilial.

However, remembering her father’s actions after her brother’s death, she felt despair, and after thinking briefly, she made up her mind.

She knelt and bowed thrice to her parents, saying, "Father, Mother, I want to venture out. I will repay you for raising me when I return!"

After speaking, she walked forward with Long Yue, and with Li Qingmu blocking the way, Old Liu was too reluctant but dared not stop her.

But just then, he suddenly heard a groan from behind. Turning around, he saw his son was alive!

"Son, you’re alive?" Old Liu excitedly rushed over, propping him up.

Mrs. Liu was also overjoyed, repeatedly thanking the heavens for their protection, and hurriedly went to check on her son’s condition.

But what the elderly couple did not expect was that their precious son had become mentally impaired, waking up and sucking his thumb, constantly claiming to be hungry.

The couple exchanged a glance, feeling something was wrong, and quickly called their son’s name, but he wouldn’t respond, kicking and flailing like a child, demanding food.

However, their son being alive was already good news. He wouldn’t need to go to the gambling den anymore, and even if he remained this way always, it was a decent outcome.

At least he could be married and continue the family line, fulfilling the Liu family’s duty to their ancestors.

Seeing her brother turn into a fool relieved Liu Ran’er somewhat. After all, he was her brother; despite his many faults and wrongdoings, carrying the reputation of having killed her brother was not good.

The whole incident had come to a satisfactory conclusion. The Liu couple taking care of their disabled son was also a decent outcome.

Long Yue pulled the reluctant Liu Ran’er along, smiling and advising, "Come on, stop looking back. You can come again later. It’s not like you’re going to be held captive forever."

"Thank you, Sister." Liu Ran’er was moved to tears, planning to follow Sister Long Yue from now on and return to visit her parents later.

Long Yue explained her plan to her, and Liu Ran’er could hardly believe her ears; since ancient times, girls not entering private schools was an unwritten rule, and teachers wouldn’t let girls enter, saying it was unlucky.

If there were indeed girls’ private schools everywhere someday, it would be a great deed for all sisters globally.

Long Yue chuckled and said, "What’s to worry about? I’ll have the Little Emperor issue a decree to abolish this rule, won’t I?"

Hearing this, Liu Ran’er hurriedly covered Long Yue’s mouth, saying, "Sister, you mustn’t talk carelessly about the Emperor, or you’ll be arrested and executed if someone’s listening."

Long Yue pushed away her hand and reproached, "Look how scared you are, even if the Emperor heard, he wouldn’t dare do anything to me; he doesn’t have the guts."

Qi Jingyu walked ahead, smiling wryly. He really didn’t dare do anything to the Imperial Sister-in-law; otherwise, the Imperial Uncle would be the first to not spare him. But what the Imperial Sister-in-law said was also reasonable; men and women are born equal, and letting girls read more books is no big deal.
