After hearing her judgment, Nan Xing just smiled and shook his head without making any statement.
"What's wrong, Dad?"
"Did I say something wrong?"
She looked at Nanxing with a very puzzled expression.
Nanxing shook his head again.
"Of course you are right."
If you look at it from a bystander's perspective, they are certainly not good people.
But if you put yourself in their shoes, this naive girl will find something that seems to subvert her worldview:
“They actually did nothing wrong.”
"They are just doing what they think is right."
"You said so, Ai-chan."
"……"enter.
Chapter 7 Some people are born noble
Nanxing is not a supporter of the theory of human nature being evil.
But at the same time, he also had reason to believe that the evolution from apes jumping on trees to the terrifying upright apes standing at the top of the food chain was definitely not based on virtues such as "benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom and trustworthiness".
There are three thousand great ways, and even if you talk about it, it is just one word:
"Fight!"
Fight for life, fight for life, fight for victory!
“They are both right.”
As a concubine of low status, what's wrong with wanting to gain status through her son?
As the saying goes, kings, princes, generals, and ministers are all born with different species. Who would like to be stepped on by others from birth and never be able to stand up again in their lifetime?
And the same principle.
If you want to challenge my position, then I will naturally take advantage of your weakness and destroy your greatest asset, leaving you no chance to fight back.
Please note that the "mistress" of this era is not just the so-called "good wife" - "four three three" - she also has a background.
Taking a concubine is taking a beauty, but when marrying a wife, one should marry a virtuous woman.
What is virtuous?
If your father is a daimyo, your brothers are the daimyo's successors, and you have the support of tens of thousands of troops behind you, you are called a sage!
In comparison, a mere legitimate son is not that important.
——According to the tradition of this country, an adopted son is still qualified to become the heir of the family.
"So, Dad wants to tell me that when I seek what I want, I must be careful to avoid infringing on the interests of others?"
"Or, when you notice that the other party is infringing on your interests, should you act decisively and eliminate the root of the problem?"
The young girl with a strong sense of justice thought for a long time and gave this answer.
This is my daughter's standard answer.
If it were with Kikyo, she would definitely get praise from her mother.
But, unfortunately.
But this is not Nanxing’s true intention.
From the beginning to the end, Nanxing wanted the little girl to understand only one truth:
"It's a cruel world indeed. Everyone has to fight for living space."
"But, my daughter."
"You are the only exception."
Nanxing patted Li's shoulder and said earnestly:
"You don't have to fight with them."
"Because you are born noble."
"Everything in this world is for you to use."
"In this world, you can do whatever you want."
"You don't have to be afraid of anyone except your mother."
"I……"
Nanxing's answer was completely beyond Li's expectations.
For a moment, she didn't know what to say.
——Before, she thought she was already very wild.
However, when Nanxing told her the "truth".
The girl suddenly realized that compared to what her parents had done, her actions were nothing.
In other words, Gao Qiqiang met Zhao Ruilong.
"What you did before was so petty."
"You can just steal anything you like and beat up anyone you want without having to go to great lengths to find a reason."
"Whatever you set your sights on is yours, and whoever you want to beat up must be wrong."
Nanxing's teachings made Yan Moai cover her ears.
——Is this really what a father should say?
You'll corrupt the children by doing this!
But at the same time, listening to Nanxing's story, Li's eyes became brighter and brighter.
"I can do whatever I want?"
She was still a little bit incredulous.
Since she was a child, her mother taught her what to do and what not to do.
But now, Nanxing told her that the world was so big that there was no place she couldn't go and no thing she couldn't do.
This strong contrast made it difficult for the little girl to accept it for a while.
But that's okay.
Nanxing believed that she would adapt soon.
……
The speed at which his daughter fell into depravity was faster than Nanxing had imagined.
One month.
It's only been a month.
She caused chaos in the entire Edo Castle.
——She formed a team of her own.
There are monsters and humans in the team.
He wandered around Edo Castle all day, doing evil things.
Stealing the cat monster's takoyaki is her specialty.
Moreover, after snatching the takoyaki, he did not forget to touch the cat's head and enjoy the pleasure of petting the cat.
Disrupting the ninjas' ongoing missions is her favorite thing to do.
"I've been annoyed with them for a long time!"
"Why do they have a frog tattooed on their foreheads? Instead of my picture?"
Li is very convincing... 0
For this reason, the evil-minded Suwako Shiya secretly released several thunderbolts to strike her.
But it's harmless.
Li possesses the immortal body inherited from Nanxing, and both her defense and recovery abilities are quite abnormal.
It is not easy to really hurt her.
At the same time, it is worth mentioning.
In addition to the above "bad things", what really interests Rei is the work of destroying Yanma Ai.
She always managed to ambush Yan Mo Ai on her way, either secretly giving her a blow, or disrupting her work, or helping her complete the task in advance.
——All of the above situations depend on her mood at the time and how serious the evil deeds committed by the "cursed person" are.
All in all, she really followed Nanxing's advice and has been doing what she wanted to do.
At the same time, after being tortured by Li for a month.
"I can not stand it any more!"
Very rare.
Yan Mo Ai, who always likes to suppress her emotions in her heart, actually comes to Nan Xing to complain.
From this we can also see how much harm Li's actions have caused her.
"Can't you take care of her?"
Yanma Ai asked through gritted teeth.
But Nanxing smiled and shook his head.
"terribly sorry."
"But I can't."
Because this is exactly what he wants his daughter to feel:
How joyful it is to be lawless.
But at the same time.
"But, it's almost there."
Nanxing shook his head again and handed a black and white stick of repentance to Yan Moai.
"what?"
Looking at the weapon in her hand that symbolizes the power of "judgment", Yan Moai was stunned.
But Nanxing smiled and waved his hand, saying to her:
"I did tell her she could do whatever she wanted."
"But I didn't say that she was the only one who had such lawless power."
"Go ahead, Ai-chan."
"It starts now and ends when the sun rises."
"I give you the power to hit her on the head."
"...".
Chapter 8: Freedom and Shackles
How to teach a naughty child a lesson is a very troublesome matter.
Teaching a naughty child a lesson while making her convinced is even more troublesome.
But fortunately, Nanxing still has the magical weapon [Stick of Repentance].
“Dad!!!”
the next morning.
