Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Lin Zhen’er had even found a job behind his back. It seemed like she was determined to leave.

Xu Ke clenched his fists and looked at his daughter with a dark gaze. “Qiaoqiao, isn’t Father good to you? Are you going to abandon Father?”

Qiaoqiao looked at Lin Zhen’er in confusion, then at Xu Ke. She suddenly hugged Lin Zhen’er’s thigh tightly. “I’ll be wherever Mother is.”

Lin Zhen’er stroked Qiaoqiao’s head and held her daughter’s hand. She avoided the stunned Xu Ke and gradually left.

Xu Ke shouted behind them, “Lin Zhen’er, if you leave this house, you won’t be a member of the Xu family anymore. Have you really thought it through?”

Lin Zhen’er had no choice but to be his concubine. She disliked Xu Ke to begin with, so how could she let go of this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity?

Lin Zhen’er left decisively without looking back. Her slender body seemed to have grown steel bones that could support the sky.

…..

In an instant, Xu Ke wanted to rush up and imprison her in the backyard, but his rationality made him stop.

He recovered and was about to settle the score with his wife when his concubines, Ruixue and Zhu Qin, braced themselves and walked up to him. “Master, we’re leaving too.”

Who would want to be a concubine if they could be the first wife? Lin Zhen’er had even taken away her daughter. They had no children, so why should they stay?

Besides, they were still young and there were many bachelors in Carefree City. It was impossible for them not to find a partner.

Although they were not as good at reading and writing as Lin Zhen’er, their embroidery skills were not bad. It should not be difficult for them to become female workers in the workshop.

Xu Ke only had three concubines in total, and three of them were leaving at once. He pointed at the two of them and said angrily, “Then get lost!”

As soon as the marriage law was introduced, all his concubines ran away. This was too embarrassing for Xu Ke as a man.

This meant that without the previous marriage system, no woman would have liked him at all.

Rui Xue and Zhu Qin thought that Xu Ke had agreed. They were delighted and immediately said, “Thank you for agreeing, Master!”

They quickly packed their things, as if they couldn’t wait to escape.

Xu Ke’s eyes widened. For the first time, he knew that he was so disliked by his concubines.

He flicked his sleeves angrily and rushed into his wife’s room angrily. He immediately questioned Yu Fanghui, “I didn’t expect you to be such a jealous woman! You can’t even tolerate them!”

Now, he only wanted to blame Yu Fanghui for all his concubines running away. If someone asked the next day, he would have an excuse to respond with.

Yu Fanghui glanced at him coldly. “I think there’s something wrong with Master’s brain. If they want to leave, what has it got to do with me?”

Xu Ke was stunned. He did not expect Yu Fanghui to retort him.

It took him a long time to react. He slammed the table in anger, spilling tea all over the table. “You’re going against the heavens!”

Ever since Xu Ke married her and she gave birth to two sons, he rarely entered her residence. All these years, Yu Fanghui was no different from a widow.

She had long stopped caring and said casually, “Master, if you don’t want to live with me anymore, we can get a divorce.”

“Our child is ten years old. Master, guess who he will choose to be with?”

The assets would be divided in larger portion towards the parent that the child choose to be with. The child had always been afraid of him, so Yu Fanghui was clearly fearless!

Xu Ke was so angry that he overturned the table. With a clang, all the things fell to the ground.

Yu Fanghui stood up slowly. “Master only knows how to flip tables, right?”

Xu Ke raised his hand, ready to hit her. Yu Fanghui stood still, her eyes filled with disdain.

As if he had never known his wife like this, Xu Ke revealed an expression of hatred.

The unhappiness in Yu Fanghui’s bones seemed to have suddenly been sucked away, and her lips curled into a happy smile.

The marriage law was really awesome!

Thank you, Great Empress.

One week after the marriage law was introduced, divorce cases accounted for 80% of the government’s cases.

Domestic violence, difficult mothers-in-law, and conflicting personalities… The pain that was once difficult to understand could be openly presented in court and asked for a divorce.

Everyone was in the midst divorce. The men detested the marriage law and the women were enthusiastic about it.

After Yu Fanghui joined Zhao Lanzhi’s workshop as a perfumer, Xu Ke was afraid that she would really ask for a divorce and make him a complete laughing stock.

He secretly encouraged many men to try to use public opinion to make Bai Wutong retract the marriage law.

Public opinion accused Bai Wutong of ignoring the rules that had been passed down for thousands of years and letting a woman take away the child, causing them to be too ashamed to face their ancestors in the underworld.

Cui Lingyi couldn’t help but be a little worried. She asked Bai Wutong, “Isn’t it too abrupt to suddenly implement a monogamous marriage law? Don’t you think there is a need to transition?”

After all, it was difficult for men to accept changing their viewpoints that had been around for thousands of years. Many women also even felt that it was not right because they were afraid that their sons would only have one female partner. How could they have more children like that?

Bai Wutong stopped approving her documents and smiled at her. “The marriage law seem to favor women, but they’re actually helping most men.”

Cui Lingyi looked puzzled. “Why?”

Bai Wutong explained, “In any dynasty, women don’t have to worry about marrying.”

“And men, in order to carry on the family line, do not hesitate to use the entire family’s influence to marry a wife.”

“But most of them can’t get a wife because men more powerful and capable than them can have countless women. The emperor’s harem can have tens of thousands of beauties.”

“Monogamy will allow more men to have the chance to marry.”

“Most men won’t ask to take a concubine because it’s not easy for them to even get married. Actually, monogamy doesn’t affect the commoners at all. It only affects 1% of the men who think they have special privileges.”

Cui Lingyi came to a realization and couldn’t help but look at her in admiration. “Then what if the 1% of people continue to cause trouble?”

Bai Wutong smiled and said, “Just wait and see. Someone will naturally teach them how to be a human.”

There were many divorced women, and the men quickly realized that they also had a chance to find a partner.

Although there were still more wolves and less meat, it was much better than not being able to see meat before.

If it was in a polygamous system, men with better conditions than them could have many female partners. Even if more women came in the future, they might choose men with better conditions and not look at them.

Suddenly, they felt that the marriage law seemed to be not bad!

At least one man could only have one woman. It was fair in that aspect.

Xu Ke was passionately promoting the evil consequences of the marriage law in the forest when a group of men suddenly came out.

“If you’re unhappy with the marriage law, get lost. We’re all men. Why should you have another woman!”

Xu Ke said, “We are protecting the common dignity of men. The women can leave, but how can they take our children away!”

They were all men. Who didn’t know how to say a few dignified words to hide their embarrassment?

A child was a woman’s weakness. If they didn’t take the child away, how could they leave a man?

“You’re doing better than the women. How can an adult let a woman take away a child? To put it bluntly, you’re not good people. After your wives have children, you don’t care to keep them..”
