Chapter 380: Why Don’t I Be the Emperor?

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Ah Duo’s eyes lit up. She thought that Bai Wutong would punish her. She did not expect her to say that the clothes she designed were beautiful and even recommend everyone to wear them!

She looked at Huang Zhong excitedly and said happily, “What’s the name of the phrase? The eyes can tell what’s good?”

Huang Zhong was so touched that his eyes were watery when Bai Wutong spoke up for them. Ah Duo’s question made him laugh. “You have a discerning eye, Consort!”

Ah Duo smiled brightly. “That’s right! Consort is the discerning eye, I’m the Pig”

Consort is the discerning eye, I’m the pig…

Huang Zhong could not hold back the laughter on his face and even teared from it.

They looked happy, but they hit a lot of the old-fas.h.i.+oned people’s sore spots.

How could such clothes that were not presentable and not even comparable to undergarments be worthy of half a word of praise!

Immediately, someone objected strongly. “No matter how many advantages it has, dressing like this doesn’t conform to the rules pa.s.sed down by our ancestor!”

“Especially women! Reputation is more important than the heavens! It’s already a sin to appear in public. What’s the difference between them and prost.i.tutes when dressed like this!”

The old man who spoke was an advanced scholar who had taken the initiative to come to the southern frontier to follow Yang Quanzi. He was outstandingly knowledgeable and talented in literature, but he was old-fas.h.i.+oned. He was secretly dissatisfied with Bai Wutong controlling the entire southern frontier.

He thought that he had the moral character of a scholar and wanted to learn from the loyal officials and righteous people who would rather die than submit. He wanted to use this opportunity to dampen Bai Wutong’s spirit.

So that she could clearly understand that no matter how smart and capable she was, she was still a woman!

Women would never be presentable!

He had a high status in the hearts of the students. Many men who wanted to exert control over the women were also secretly cheering!

That’s right! Women should be at home waiting on men and breastfeed their children.

Over the past few days, with Bai Wutong’s support, their wives became more and more confident in their words. They could not stand Bai Wutong’s behavior learning from the locals of the southern frontier. They were even worried that if Chu Tianbao did not show up again, Bai Wutong would still advocate for the system of wives having multiple husbands like the southern frontier people.

What Fan Gao reb.u.t.ted with had vented their anger.

As a woman with modern education, Fan Gao’s words were especially ear-piercing to Bai Wutong.

So what if she was a woman? She was a human. Why should she be materialized by a man?!

Bai Wutong had worked hard to build the paradise land not for the men, but for everyone.

Bai Wutong’s eyes suddenly darkened. “According to the ancient books, the ancestors wore tree bark and were wrapped in leaves. Then why don’t you wear tree bark and be wrapped in leaves? Wouldn’t it be against the ancestor’s will if you didn’t wear it?”

“A woman’s reputation is more important than the heavens. Who made the rule? Why don’t the women in the southern frontier have such a rule?”

Fan Gao was so angry that his heart was pounding. The last bit of rationality he had stopped him from pointing at Bai Wutong and cursing, “I’ve never seen such an ancient book! And there’s a difference between men and women. It’s always been like this since ancient times!”

The women were stunned by their conversation. What Bai Wutong said next opened the door to a new world for them.

“Just because you haven’t seen it doesn’t mean others haven’t. Or maybe you have. You just don’t want to admit it.”

“Because you know very well that if you emphasise that a woman’s reputation is more important than heavens, the men will have plenty of reason to confine the women like sheeps.”

“Thousands of years of lies stripped women of all their abilities, restricted their thoughts, and made them like dodder flowers that can only rely on men forever!”

“But let me tell you, this is the southern frontier, this is Carefree City. As long as I’m here, 1 definitely won’t allow you to restrict women with the so-called virtue and chast.i.ty. If you’re dissatisfied, you can get lost now!”

“None of the girls in our Carefree City will lose out to men!”

Suddenly, Bai Wutong’s sharp gaze swept across some women. “If anyone is willing to degrade themselves and serve others, feel free to scram with them!”

Her every word was like a dagger that stepped on everyone’s hearts.

Cui Lingyi was overwhelmed with emotions. She thought that her desire to establish a women’s academy so that women could walk into the court openly one day was already enough to go against the sutra.

It turned out that she didn’t know enough!

It turned out that she had been influenced by the people around her in the beginning and had to maintain her role as a woman as much as possible. It was all because of the thousand-year-old patriarchial thinking that she had unknowingly put a shackle on herself.

Her eyes were bright, as if she could see another world, another extraordinary little phoenix sitting at the top of the clouds.

She had come here. She had told everyone not to look down on women.

Gu Chilie took advantage of Chu Tianbao’s absence to a.s.sa.s.sinate Bai Wutong, but Bai Wutong was not angry at all.

But now, she was openly scolding the Fan Gao.

In an instant, everyone understood that Fan Gao had triggered Bai Wutong.

He reprimanding a woman for not showing her face was actually a clear provocation to Bai Wutong.

The women were shocked by Bai Wutong’s thoughts. When they thought about it carefully, they actually felt that it was true.

Compared to the women in the southern frontier, they would feel guilty for not serving their husbands, in-laws, and taking care of the entire family. They would trap themselves in a cage.

They were clearly all human beings. Men could have three wives and four concubines, but if the women in the southern frontier had multiple husbands, they were criticized as shameless and immoral. At that time, they agreed very much and actually did not think that there was anything wrong.

Bai Wutong clearly pointed out that this was a long-term brainwas.h.i.+ng of their thoughts. Many women immediately came to a realization. So that was it!

If they were born in the southern frontier, they should be as confident and unrestrained as Ah Duo!

When Fan Gao heard that Bai Wutong actually wanted him to get out of the southern frontier, he was so angry that he said without thinking, “This is the Ling Kingdom! Women are not allowed to be involved in politics!”

He had wanted to say this for a long time!

Today, even if he died, he would never regret it!

Cui Lingyi’s heart skipped a beat. Afraid that Bai Wutong would be angry and affect her pregnancy, she retorted angrily, “If women shouldn’t be involved in politics, can you do better than her?”

Bai Wutong’s talent and ability were rare in the world.

When Cui Lingyi said this, even Fan Gao had to admit that apart from the fact that Bai Wutong was a woman, she was worthy of the heavy responsibility of a city.

Many times, he complained about his dissatisfaction, but he had seen the policies proposed by Bai Wutong, witnessed the actively developing place and even looked forward to the future of Carefree City.

Fan Gao often felt that it was a pity in his heart. Why wasn’t she a man? If she was a man, not to mention the entire Carefree City, but even the entire Ling Kingdom, he would be happy to see Bai Wutong be involved.

But she was a woman!

Fan Gao would definitely not compromise with a woman controlling the entire world. He insisted stubbornly, “As long as the southern frontier is under the Ling Kingdom, women can’t do anything! If the emperor finds out, the consort will be guilty of treason!”

Bai Wutong sneered. “Without me, the southern frontier would have fallen into Gu Chilie’s hands!” “Since he can be the emperor, why don’t I give it a try too?”

Bai Wutong looked at everyone.. “What do you think?”
