The Empress Kneels in Her Palace to Admit Her Mistakes After Slaying Her Ways in the Female-Oriented

Huai'an City, teahouse!

Compared to the past, the teahouses have been much busier these days, with countless people intentionally or unintentionally leaving their homes and heading to the teahouses.

Enjoying tea is not important, but listening to the recent major changes in Huai'an City is very important.

"If you ask me..."

In the open space between several tea tables on the first floor, a middle-aged man was talking loudly: "It's good that the Duke is here, it's wonderful that the Duke is here! Our Huai'an City is about to undergo a complete change."

"Like this..."

He held a filthy book in his hand, titled "The Prince of the Northern City's Deepest Love," and threw it on the ground, stomping on it as he said, "This kind of trash should be burned. Damn it, it almost killed my daughter..."

The crowd echoed and shouted in unison.

The scene was quite impressive.

However, just as the atmosphere reached its climax, an untimely voice suddenly rang out.

"Trash? Hmph, that's because you don't understand the profound redemption that comes from class differences! The male lead's domineering nature is his armor protecting the female lead; his obsession is a deep-seated favoritism—this is the purest essence of love!"

"This book is actually an epic that explores class differences and redemption."

"If you're uneducated, then read more books!"

The speaker was a young man, who looked like a frail scholar, but at this moment he exuded a sharp aura.

Behind this young man stood many young men and women, all echoing his sentiments.

"You only feel it's superficial because your understanding is insufficient. Someone like you simply can't grasp the deeper meaning of the book!"

"Hmph, don't presume to comment on the sacred texts of love with your shallow understanding!"

"To put it bluntly, they are heartless and ungrateful, and fundamentally incapable of loving others."

"Yes, someone like you doesn't understand love, is cold-hearted, and will ultimately be alone for life!"

……

Once this group of men and women started talking, their words flowed like a surging tide, instantly silencing the noise in the entire teahouse.

In particular, everyone recognized that these men and women were members of the Huai'an City Love Mutual Aid Alliance. Due to the preferential treatment Huai'an City had given them in the past, and the fact that the Duke had not yet burned down the Hongluan Wenyuan Pavilion to show his firm stance, everyone immediately shut up.

We looked at each other, then almost simultaneously paid our bills and left, leaving the teahouse owner quite annoyed.

It's rare to have so many people here. Is that all?

Seeing that the teahouse was under their control, the men and women immediately moved on to the next battleground.

Of course, they would also leave behind patrol and guard personnel to ensure that all areas of Huai'an City that they had swept through were properly monitored, resulting in an unprecedented level of consensus.

This is just one part of their second step in the plan.

If you look down from a high altitude, you can clearly see these men and women all over Huai'an City.

In the middle of the market, several men and women formed a circle, with one of the men standing on a temporary platform in the inner circle, shouting loudly.

"The novel 'Love Imprisoned in a Powerful Family' depicts Cinderella's dream and the aspirations of every ordinary person. You and I are ordinary people, and we all deserve the right to be seen!"

"The Story of My Pregnant Wife is the best-selling book on Hongluan Wenyuange, but it's not about being love-struck; it's about perseverance and resilience in the face of adversity! Having a child isn't about dependence, but about continuing true love and holding onto hope!"

……

At the school, the man making a megaphone shape with his hands was shouting.

"Students, you must understand that while 'A Lifetime of Love and Obsession with Your Lord' appears to be a love story on the surface, it delves deeper into the issues of class stratification and the awakening of the subjectivity of ordinary people!"

……

Even at the entrance of the government office, people were loudly proclaiming it.

"These books taught us loyalty, devotion, and perseverance in love. Is burning them a way of returning to our conscience in Huai'an?"

……

The members of the Huai'an City Love Mutual Aid Alliance are everywhere, forcefully promoting the books in the Hongluan Wenyuan Pavilion as treasures and ladders for human progress in various settings.

The shouts were widespread and numerous.

At the same time, he distributed the various arguments that he had already copied down to passersby.

Even if they don't want it, they will keep following them and forcibly deliver it to passersby before they stop.

This series of actions, in just one morning, plunged the entire city of Huai'an into a sea of ​​public opinion, surging and turbulent like raging waves crashing against reefs.

"These people really don't know the meaning of death!"

Not far away, an old woman watching this scene couldn't help but shake her head and mutter to herself, "The one entering the city right now is Ren Tianye, that ruthless man who established the Demon Suppression Division..."

"They, they actually dare to defend these trashy books!"

The old woman was just talking to herself, but because of her age and hearing, she didn't notice that a man was walking right next to her.

The man immediately stopped, turned around and glanced at the old woman, then shouted loudly.

With a shout, two more people came from behind and stopped the old woman.

Moreover, more and more people arrived, and in no time there were more than a dozen people.

These people surrounded the old woman, all staring at her with considerable displeasure.

"Do you even know what love is? You dare question even the sacred texts of love? You're just a heartless, cold-blooded animal!"

"May you never receive any special favor in your life!"

"Your face looks like someone who's unloved and uncared for, yet you can't stand seeing others yearn for a deep and lasting love?"

Before the first wave of attacks had even ended, a second wave of attacks immediately surged forth.

"I'm sure I know this person. He disobeyed his parents before and doesn't even care about his relatives. He doesn't understand true feelings at all!"

"Yes, I know her too. That bastard bullies the weak; she's a heartless and ungrateful person!"

The shouts of these people were extremely loud, attracting onlookers from the surrounding area. However, an unusual, cold, and sharp glint suddenly flashed in the old woman's eyes, but she quickly concealed it.

These men and women, however, did not notice and continued their attack.

"Brothers and sisters, this kind of person deserves to be ruined. Let's go spread the word for her."

"Yes, she's psychologically twisted. She doesn't have love herself, so she can't stand seeing others have love. She's also inherently evil. Brothers and sisters, let's get her information out and help spread the word about her."

Someone had already taken out the prepared writing brush, ink, paper, and inkstone, intending to follow the previous procedure, mark the old woman's name and address, and then post them in markets, teahouses, streets, and other places.

However, none of the people who shouted loudly earlier and claimed to know the old woman could clearly explain who she was.

Although the old woman's eyes were filled with anger, her expression remained relatively calm. Upon seeing this, she even introduced herself.

"My surname is Sun, you can call me Granny Sun. I've been working for the Xu family for decades, you can verify that with them!"

The moment the name "Xu family" was mentioned, the men and women fell silent. After all, everyone knew that in Huai'an City, only the city lord's family dared to be called "Xu family".

Although these members of the Huai'an City Love Mutual Aid Alliance dared to cause trouble and get the whole city of Huai'an to agree on the same story, they didn't dare to actually investigate the Xu family.

So, after hesitating for a moment, they immediately turned and left. Anyway, there were other people who dared to slander books that they needed to deal with, and they didn't need to get angry with an old woman.

After everyone left, Granny Sun sighed again, a hint of reminiscence involuntarily appearing in her eyes, but she quickly suppressed it.

As they slowly walked to the Xu family residence, they bumped into Xu Xia and Yun Wanyi, who were returning from the city lord's mansion.

Upon seeing Granny Sun, Xu Xia and Yun Wanyi quickly went to greet her, treating her with great courtesy, especially Xu Xia, who was extremely respectful.

After all, in Xu Xia's mind, although Granny Sun was just a servant or a nanny in the Xu family, she always treated him very well when he was unloved, bullied by his brother Xu Shang, and mistreated by the entire Xu family.

More importantly, Granny Sun would always tell him what true love is and what love that doesn't cross the line is, intentionally or unintentionally teaching him to be a normal person.

In the chaotic city of Huai'an, a city where everyone prioritizes love and affection, he somehow always seemed to listen to those words.

It was precisely because he listened to those words that he had the opportunity to seize the position of city lord of Huai'an from his elder brother, and that he had Yun Wanyi, his beloved wife.

Yun Wanyi had a similar experience.

She was considered to be Xu Shang's childhood sweetheart since she was a child, and she often visited the Xu family. She saw Granny Sun quite often and was greatly influenced by her.

It's strange that she was able to live a normal life in Huai'an City and Yunjing, without being troubled by outrageous love affairs, which led to her current happy life.

Therefore, the two of them took turns holding onto Granny Sun's arms.

"Granny Sun, did you just go out? Why didn't you have someone accompany you? Be careful not to fall."

"It's alright, it's alright!" When Granny Sun saw Yun Wanyi and Xu Xia, it was as if she were seeing her own family. She smiled and said, "My legs are still nimble, what are you afraid of?"

"Well, something happened on the way."

As she spoke, Granny Sun recounted how the people from the Huai'an Love Mutual Aid Alliance had surrounded her, insulted her, and slandered her.

He sighed and said, "I told them I was from the Xu family, and that's why they didn't dare to act recklessly. But in Huai'an City, I'm afraid there are many people who don't have my background. Once they cross their line, I wonder how much they'll harass them."

Xu Xia and Yun Wanyi were anxious and worried about this matter yesterday, and couldn't sleep at night, but now, after hearing what Granny Sun said, they both showed calm smiles on their faces.

"Granny Sun, these people will soon pay the price. My wife and I have been busy all day, only to find that the people from the Demon Suppression Division have already made their move."

"Lord Su Jin of the Demon Suppression Division sent word that they should recall the City Lord's forces and hand everything over to the Demon Suppression Division. He also told us not to act rashly."

"It seems they've already started making plans."

Granny Sun said, "Not letting you act rashly? Oh, I see, the Demon Suppression Division intends to expose everyone..."

"Sigh, this Duke doesn't intend to let a single one of them go!"

Although Granny Sun often said surprising things, Xu Xia and Yun Wanyi were still taken aback at this moment. It took them a while to understand the Demon Suppression Division's intentions.

Unexpectedly, Granny Sun pointed it out on the spot.

"This Duke is truly extraordinary. If given the chance, I wonder if I could catch a glimpse of him from afar?"

Yun Wanyi immediately smiled and said, "If you have such a wish, I will definitely help you fulfill it."

"No problem," Xu Xia replied. "We might not be able to meet the Duke in person, but if it's just to catch a glimpse from afar, the two of us can certainly manage it!"
