As soon as Du Tingyun finished speaking, Bai Cang realized that the crowd on the street had dispersed quite a bit.
To be precise, the group of men dispersed quite a bit.
Immediately after, a large group of women suddenly appeared.
Most of those women came from the surrounding houses, and almost all of them were people who would lean on the windows and watch the excitement.
As many women walked onto the street, the originally spacious street became crowded again, and there were also many men among the women. Those people had extremely serious expressions and were walking quickly in the same direction. .
That was obviously the direction Liu Shengsheng walked away just now.
Bai Cang said in surprise: "What do these people want to do?"
Du Tingyun said calmly: "Follow me and take a look, then you'll know?"
In fact, there was no need to follow them. Not long after they walked onto the street, they found that there were more and more people on the street, and most of them were heading in the direction of Liu Shengsheng.
Liu Shengsheng seemed to have noticed this, so he stopped and turned around with a wary expression.
Nan Muze also frowned, his expression changed, and the soldiers following them also grasped the hilts of their swords, as if they were ready to resist at any time.
But just when they thought this group of people were looking for trouble, a woman's voice suddenly came from the crowd.
"Thank you, Princess!"
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a "plop" sound, and a woman knelt down directly on the ground.
As soon as she opened her mouth, another lady said tremblingly: "Someone is taking care of this matter. Your Highness, thank you! You are the reborn parents of those children!"
"Only women love women the most. We have been looking forward to it for too many years, and until today, someone finally smashed the abandoned baby tower. Living Bodhisattva!"
"God finally opened his eyes, and someone finally spoke up for us women!"
"Poor children, someone finally seeks justice for you today!"
"Those folks are right. Your Highness the Princess is the reincarnation of a god. It must be God's will for you to come to our city!"
"..."
Various voices came, and Liu Shengsheng couldn't even tell who the speakers were.
But obviously, most of them are women...
The people in this city seem to be a lot more superstitious than people in other places.
It seems that the more superstitious a place is, the less friendly it is to women.
Listening to them talking about fairy tales, Liu Shengsheng always felt a little nagging.
But seeing those people kneeling on the street one by one, she felt very sad.
They must have endured life and death before they could do this, right?
Nan Muze breathed a sigh of relief, and the soldiers beside him were no longer vigilant.
Du Tingyun walked through the crowd in a daze, staring at everything in front of him, and said nothing for a long time.
In the end, Liu Shengsheng took the initiative to take a few steps forward.
"Everyone, please get up. I never thought that I would get the support of so many of you. I am also very happy to see so many people with unyielding consciences."
The person being helped up was an aunt in her forties or fifties. She was heard saying with runny nose and tears:
"Your Highness, the human heart is made of flesh. Who can bear to throw away their own dolls? In fact, the people in the family say that girls are useless because they cannot work and have to eat, so they cannot help the family. ..."
"It will take more than ten years to get married. If you are obedient, you can sell it for a good price. If you are disobedient, you will not get one tael of silver. Everyone thinks that the girl is a waste of money because the betrothal gifts in our area are only about ten taels. Buying A few pigs raised will cost more than ten taels of silver in the end, this is the most fundamental reason!"
Speaking of this, the aunt burst into tears, "But the dolls are never for sale. Our own flesh and blood are all sentimental. In fact, we just want our children to grow up safely, but no matter what, everyone They all say it’s useless, we really have nothing to do.”
"Occasionally
Any women who resisted would be drowned by the saliva of those men. Today, we are lucky enough to have Her Royal Highness take action in person. We really can’t sit still..."
With the aunt taking the lead, the women behind her responded to peace one after another.
"Yes, actually I have long disliked the Abandoned Infant Tower. If it weren't for my lack of strength, I would have wanted to go there and smash it!"
"Things that are so heartless shouldn't exist!"
"Your Highness, the reason why we came out is to tell you that most people support you!"
"Yes! We really support you and thank you for helping us such a big favor!"
"Those men have done all kinds of evil and done countless unscrupulous things, and it's easier for them to get clean!"
"Your Highness, will you come back to the city again?"
"They will definitely come back, right? If they secretly set up an abandoned baby shelter again, or abandon baby girls everywhere, Her Highness will definitely take care of it, right?"
More and more people are talking, and more and more people are taking to the streets.
At this time, Liu Shengsheng was not very far from the city gate.
As long as you turn around and take a few more steps, you can get out of the city.
But before he knew it, many people appeared behind him.
Most of the people present were women, of course there were some children, and a small number of men...
Even Liu Shengsheng herself found it hard to imagine.
She really didn't expect that her few nonsense words would resonate with so many people...
It seems that I am not the only one who feels cruel.
Also, after you have a child, you will feel a little weird when you see other children suffering.
She opened her mouth, not knowing what to say.
The crowd was bustling and the sounds became more and more mixed.
By the end, most people were saying the same thing.
"Your Highness, will you come back?"
"Your Highness the Princess must come back!"
"We will wait for you!"
"Only you can make us live a good life, only you can protect the safety of those innocent children, you must come back..."
"Is it true that the princess said that the protection of baby girls will be included in the laws of our country?"
"Will those who harm innocent children be punished in the future?"
"Your Highness! We will wait for you!"
"We hope that Her Highness the Princess will come back to visit us!"
"If there is an abandoned baby tower in the future, where should we report it?"
"Will the princess return to Li Kingdom in the future? Will she really handle this matter?"
"..."
Liu Shengsheng's head was about to explode after hearing all kinds of questions. .
But she didn't feel a headache at all, and even felt sad.
How long have these women been exploited?
He had only made one move, and it was as if they had grasped a life-saving straw...
The huge street was already crowded with people, and as the number of people increased, the sounds became more and more chaotic.
Liu Shengsheng couldn't answer at all, so she could only turn back silently and look at Du Tingyun.
Perhaps he saw the meaning in her eyes, or perhaps he was infected, Du Tingyun finally opened his mouth.
"Don't worry, everyone! Everything will be done as the princess said. When this prince returns to the capital, he will immediately send people to smash all the abandoned baby towers in the country. After that, if anyone dares to abuse or abandon innocent children, this prince will We will definitely pursue it to the end!”
