Chapter 4435 Women Are Unchaste

"What are the consequences?" Qian'er asked.

Judging from Zhaohui's reaction, it should be very harsh.

Sure enough, Zhaohui trembled slightly when she heard Qian'er's question.

Higurashi replied with a sneer: "The woman was unfaithful and took the initiative to break the engagement. She was whipped two hundred times and waterboarded for three days. If she can survive it, the matter is over."

Qian'er frowned: "Can't you make it through?"

"If you can't survive it, you have no choice but to die. This is God's punishment for her not keeping her oath." Higurashi said coldly.

Whipping means beating with a whip. As for what this water torture is, Qian'er didn't ask.

But she could also imagine that it must be extremely cruel and painful.

She asked another question: "Are many people getting through it?"

Higurashi said: "In the past ten years, there have been a total of twelve women who broke their marriage contracts, and only two of them survived the punishment. But... basically they are also useless."

Qian'er asked: "What's the difference between this and killing someone directly?"

"You are a foreigner, why do you have to ask so many questions." Higurashi didn't care. "These are the rules passed down by the Wu people for thousands of years. Everyone must abide by them."

"Bullshit." Qian'er said harshly.

Both Higurashi and Zhaohui looked at her in shock.

Even the high priest glanced at her in surprise.

This dignified and elegant princess actually said these vulgar words.

Qian'er said: "The rules that everyone must abide by? How did I hear that you Uzbek men can cancel their engagement at will? Do they also have to suffer these punishments?"

"Of course men have their punishments."

"What is it?" Qian'er asked.

"If the woman is not at fault and the man takes the initiative to make fun of the engagement, he will not be allowed to remarry within three years."

"??" Qian'er couldn't help but smile.

What a punishment.

She knows that most places in the world are unfair to women.

Because it’s men who make the rules.

They will inevitably make the best choice for themselves.

Except Northern Qi.

After the Northern Qi Dynasty was transformed by the Queen Mother, although the suppression of women could not be completely eliminated, the situation was a thousand times better than elsewhere.

Today's Empress Xiao Chuanchuan is still following in her mother's footsteps and working hard to improve Northern Qi's national power and the status of women.

Qian'er can't understand why the Wu people treat women like this.

She also couldn't understand why a woman from the Uzbek tribe would commit a crime and run away with a man even though she knew she would suffer such a fatal punishment.

How could a man who would cost her her life be worthy of her following?

Such as Zhaohui at this time.

Qian'er said: "Zhaohui, I didn't know that you would be punished for breaking the contract."

"This is my own choice and has nothing to do with you." Zhaohui said coldly.

"Xiaozhuang...Longbo, does he know this?" Qian'er changed her mind when she thought that Zhaohui didn't know who Xiaozhuang was.

"Of course he knows." Zhaohui looked at Qian'er strangely, "As a member of the Wu tribe, how can I not know this."

Qian'er didn't speak, but glanced at the high priest.

The high priest lowered his eyelids, and it was impossible to tell what he was thinking.

Qian'er felt that Xiaozhuang must not know this.

However, did Xiaozhuang really say he liked Zhaohui?

Zhaohui was only seventeen, and it was the right time to be young. Qian'er knew that although she still looked young in appearance, her mentality had already changed.

Looking at the young and beautiful Zhao Hui, she couldn't help but feel suspicious.

But there was no complaint or dissatisfaction in her heart.

She was the one who rejected Xiaozhuang again and again in the beginning, but now even if Xiaozhuang likes other people, she has nothing to say.
