From Nun to Real Heiress: Expert at Turning the Tables

Chapter 1429: 656 Sang Luo_3 Chapter 1429: 656 Sang Luo_3 In that instant, Aubree Groove thought, she sniffed a familiar scent.

A familiarity that made her soul tremble.

Just at that moment, as if sensing something, the man’s gaze accurately fell on Aubree’s figure, for a brief second, then imperceptibly moved away.

The bearded hulk, seeing a strange man suddenly appearing and disrupting his business, couldn’t help but curse, “Who are you?

What gives you the right to interfere in my affairs?

Get out of here, don’t delay me from disciplining my child.”

The man, however, did not respond to his words.

He crouched down, looking levelly into the little girl’s eyes, and asked in a voice so gentle it was cajoling, “Tell big brother, is he your father?”

The little girl hesitated for a moment then nodded.

...

“Is he marrying you off to The Flints’?

Don’t be scared, speak up bravely, big brother will help you.”

The little girl cautiously glanced at the bearded hulk; and under his warning gaze, she said out loud, “I’m not crazy, father’s lying.

He took a lot of money from The Flints and agreed to marry me off to them.

The Flint is a simpleton, he only knows how to lose his temper and hit people.

I want to go to school, I don’t want to marry a simpleton.”

It was too late for the bearded hulk to cover the girl’s mouth.

He found his hands seized by a young man dressed in black guard uniform, who twisted his arms behind his back and forced him to kneel on the ground.

The man glanced at the young man, his eyes filled with a light smile, as refreshing as a spring rain, deeply profound.

He nodded slightly in gratitude, slowly stood up, and said lightly to the bearded hulk, “I suppose you haven’t heard about the new national regulation.

Every child, regardless of gender, has the right to education before adulthood.

Education is the future of a country.

Forcing a young girl into marriage is not only wrongful parenting, it’s defiance of the national law.

You need to go to jail and reform.

I hope you will realize your mistake.”

Though the man’s voice was gentle, it held an unquestionable power that deeply shocked everyone present.

Indeed, the current Percival was different from the past, underage marriage was illegal, forced or voluntary, it was against the law.

The national law must not be trampled upon, anyone breaking the law should be punished.

Only in a country where the law is strictly enforced, the citizens will feel secure.

In the former Percival, being a woman was a tragedy from birth.

In this country controlled by the Divine Sect, all the people were sacrificed for the power of the King.

Women were born into this world merely as a means to continue the lineage.

Their lives lacked freedom and this mission burdened the next generation of women, like a plague, leading to complete degradation generation after generation.

They survived reliant on patriarchy, their whole lives devoid of any rights.

Their existence was similar to a Nanny’s, merely serving with endurance.

For them, what was education?

Even women from noble families spent their lives transitioning from their father’s authority to their husband’s and then their son’s.

Without seeing a broader world, they wouldn’t realize how humble and ridiculous their lives were.

Until one day, the Holy Master appeared and introduced an idea that challenged the Divine Sect.

This was like an earth-shattering revelation.

The men felt insulted and mocked.

They decided to teach this presumptuous Holy Master a lesson.

The Holy Master was great, he changed the future of a country.

His following grew, those ridiculous men eventually drowned in the tide of history, and their narrow old thinking was heading towards a dead end.

Young girls wouldn’t be forced to marry and struggle in the vortex of childbirth their entire lives.

They sat in the clean and well-lit classrooms, reading enlightened thoughts, witnessing a broader universe in the books.

Without women, where would men come from?

Such a question made everyone reflect.

Once upon a time, class boundaries were impenetrable; the gender gap seemed insurmountable, destined from birth.

But the Holy Master told them that both the rigid class system and gender discrimination were wrong.

Perhaps they were once in line with the progress of the times, but now, they were wrong.

What’s wrong is destined to be overthrown.

A new era was beckoning them, and as participants, they all felt tremendously honored.

A guard dressed in silver armor came in and took the bearded hulk away.

The little girl had a panic-stricken look on her face.

The man gently touched her head, “Making a mistake is not terrible.

As long as he knows to correct his mistake, he is still your father.”
