After their minds were read, the entire court trembled with fear.

Chapter 204 No Way Out

Shen Zhiyi was as angry as a pufferfish, and she got even angrier after reading the rest.

【No, this guy said it, and this person actually believed him???】

Shen Zhiyi was confused and greatly shocked.

[System, look! This idiot deputy general brought back women one after another using the same excuse? I can't take it anymore! You're blatantly making a fool of your wife!]

The people around looked at General Wei Hu's deputy with disdain.

They're making excuses but won't even bother to change it; they're utterly despicable.

The lieutenant's face was somewhat grim at that moment, but he didn't think he had done anything wrong.

He just brought a woman back with him.

If he didn't respect his wife, he wouldn't need to find any reason at all.

Look at all the powerful and wealthy people in Da Ye. Which one of them can bring back any beauty he wants without his wife saying a word?

However, considering his deep affection for his wife and her health, it was already commendable that he was willing to find a reason to do so.

If Shen Zhiyi could read minds, she would definitely spit on that general as soon as she knew what he was thinking.

The system did not stop Shen Zhiyi from acting out of her rage.

It's better for the host to be a little more emotional.

Who knows, someone might wake up one day in a fit of emotion.

[Your wife, knowing it's wrong because she loves you, still chooses to believe you, even if it means being treated like a fool. But this lieutenant becomes increasingly outrageous later on.]

[They actually dragged some distant relative's daughter into the deputy general and his wife's bedroom to engage in group sex.]

Shen Zhiyi secretly pinched her philtrum.

Angry.

The scene was so shocking that the lady fainted from anger. When she woke up, she found the mansion empty. Of course, no one was there; she had taken several daughters of distant relatives and was preparing to go out to sea.

General Wei Hu originally wanted to speak up for his deputy, but now he couldn't say anything.

He is a man who loves his wife.

He assumed that the deputy general was the same person as him, so he had a good impression of him.

I never expected him to be such a scumbag.

The old emperor snorted coldly and winked at General Weihu.

General Wei Hu immediately understood and pretended to have received the news.

"Lieutenant, a brother just ran over and said something happened at your home."

The old emperor followed up, saying, "Since something has happened, go back. Nothing in this world is more important than family."

The deputy general was seething with rage, but since the old emperor had spoken, he didn't dare to even change his expression.

"I accept the decree."

The vice-general who was kicked out of the voyage this time kept his head down, not daring to let the people around him discover his impulse to almost kill Shen Zhiyi.

[She's not dead! The lady's personal maid saved her!]

Shen Zhiyi breathed a sigh of relief.

The lieutenant clenched his fist, wondering how he hadn't died.

This caused him to lose the opportunity to make a great contribution, yet he is still alive.

Hopefully, this experience will make her understand that only by saving herself can she truly move on from this world. Entrusting her entire life to another person means losing herself.

Shen Zhiyi sighed deeply in her heart.

All the officials: Wow, Shen Zhiyi actually said something so profound!

[But while that's true of the saying, and everyone understands the principles, putting them into practice is truly difficult.]

The system does not understand.

Why? Shouldn't it be that once the command is given, it should be executed?

[Ha, I can't explain this to an AI like you. Don't you understand not to make promises you can't keep? Promises are meant to be broken. What you think and what you do are often completely different things.]

For example, she says she won't stay up late every day, but that's impossible.

Shen Zhiyi sighed at the fate of the deputy general's wife, and could only sigh helplessly.

She can't do anything about other people's fate.

Shen Zhiyi turned off the monitor and, seeing that the scene was still so joyful, began to write down this moment.

Once this group leaves, it's unknown how many years it will be before they return.

Whether they can all come back is also a question.

Judging from the shipbuilding capabilities of this world, only the Great Ye currently has the capacity to send so many people out to sea at once.

Most of them should be able to come back alive.

General Wei Hu was moved; what Shen Zhiyi said must be true.

They will all return safely.

After the fleet left, General Weihu's deputy could only return.

The first thing he did upon returning home was to vent his anger on his wife.

"It's all your fault, it's all your fault that I lost a crucial opportunity."

"I'm just looking for a woman. Which man doesn't have multiple wives and concubines these days? If you can't stand it, I'll just divorce you. Why did you have to hang yourself? If you wanted to hang yourself, why didn't you die?"

The personal maid, unable to bear it any longer, mustered up her courage and confronted the deputy general.

"Master, how can you treat Madam like this? Have you forgotten the vows you made to her?"

The lieutenant slapped his personal maid across the face.

"You have no right to speak here, you servant."

The woman finally reacted after her personal maid was beaten.

She quickly hugged her maid, tears streaming silently down her face.

“From today onwards, Madam is not allowed to leave this courtyard even for a moment.”

Immediately afterwards, there was the sound of the door being closed.

Only then did the personal maid, who had been sobbing softly, dare to speak.

"Madam, let's go."

The woman gave a bitter smile.

“I can’t leave. At home, I obey my father; after marriage, I obey my husband. If he divorces me, I have to go home, but is that my home?”

The woman's body began to tremble uncontrollably at the thought of being punched and kicked.

Hell is both before and after.

The personal maid said, "Madam, you can establish your own household."

"Self-reliant female household?"

The woman chuckled self-deprecatingly: "With my parents still alive, how can I be qualified to establish my own household? Even if both parents are dead, as long as one relative is still alive, I cannot establish my own household."

She had nowhere to go.

[Hmm, what are the requirements for independent female households?]

After reading it, Shen Zhiyi couldn't help but feel extremely sad.

Zhang Sheren noticed that Shen Zhiyi was in a bad mood, so he quietly leaned over and whispered, "What's wrong?"

Shen Zhiyi shook her head, and after three seconds...

"Lord Zhang, what are the requirements for establishing a household with women as the primary caregivers?"

Zhang Sheren replied, "Generally speaking, women are not allowed to establish their own households."

【Aaaaaaah, why?!】

Shen Zhiyi's shout made everyone's heads buzz.

The old emperor, who was concentrating on reviewing memorials, wrote crooked characters.

He rubbed his ears, wondering how the two people next to him had gotten into talking about independent female households.

Does Shen Zhiyi want to establish her own household?

Even though my parents and brothers are still alive, it's not impossible.

Because he was facing Shen Zhiyi, Zhang Sheren dared not make any big expressions or movements.

It took me a while to come back to my senses.

“Shen Lang, looking at the history of dynasties, there are very few dynasties that were able to establish their own female households.”

"What about Da Ye?"
