Summary
Li Su, a low-ranking official, spoke out in the imperial court, highlighting the injustice in the Feng family murder case, particularly the fate of a young maidservant who was raped and murdered by Feng Gui. Despite the murderer's death, Li Su argued that the case was not closed, as the maidservant's life was still valued at only two hundred coins. He questioned the court officials, asking if a lowly servant maid was just an object or a person with rights. The officials were taken aback, but Li Shi Min, the crown prince, showed interest in Li Su's words. Li Su continued, recounting the story of the young maidservant, who was forced to live a life of servitude and submission. He asked the officials to reflect on the heart of the matter, questioning what it means to be a person of low birth and a woman in society. The atmosphere in the hall changed, with everyone thinking deeply about Li Su's words. The story of the young maidservant had touched their hearts, and they couldn't help but feel a sense of sympathy for her. Li Shi Min spoke up, stating that it was time to reconsider the case and ensure that justice was served.Full content
