The Ming Dynasty's "mother-in-law rape" case, a reflection behind the absurdity and ridiculousness: never try to test human nature

The "Three Character Classic" describes human nature as follows- "At the beginning of man, nature is inherently good", but although the ancient saying is quite senior, it is not necessarily accurate, and the debate over whether human nature is inherently evil or inherently good has never stopped in history. In the materialistic modern era, the most basic trust between people has long been lacking.

In this era of money supremacy, insecure people always like to try to test, but in the end, not only fail to lift the veil under morality, but also become victims of the loss of trust.

However, the crisis of trust is not only happening in the modern era when the growth rate of science and technology is changing rapidly, but it is also a precedent that has been tested a hundred years ago, but this is a strange case from four hundred years ago, not only does not reflect human nature, but it has buried innocent lives in vain and become one of the strange cases in history.

Crisis of confidence

During the Ming Dynasty, the son of a large family married a young and beautiful wife. The husband is a talented person, the wife is beautiful and generous, dignified and wise, it was originally a pair made in heaven and earth, but in the environment and background at that time, the wife looked too beautiful, but it seemed to become a sin, and it was precisely the application for the phrase "red face and bad water".

It turned out that the son left home to do business, and the bride always had to stay alone in the empty house. This inevitably makes people not very reassured, it is expected that the young woman is in the cardamom age, and the beauty and generosity of the fall, alone in the empty house will inevitably make a deviant move, but the other person's nonsense two sentences are just that, the bride is not such a person, after marriage, she scrupulously abides by the duties of the wife and daughter-in-law, serves the father-in-law, and manages the housework very methodically, which can be called virtuous and virtuous.

It's just that although she has cleaned herself and kept herself and kept her manners, she still hasn't been able to hide from the suspicion of her mother-in-law, lest the mother-in-law who is not chaotic in the world look at the beautiful daughter-in-law, always thinking about it, plus she herself is already old and yellow, and walking with the young and beautiful daughter-in-law will inevitably be eclipsed, she will be evil, always suspect that her husband and daughter-in-law have a unclear relationship.

If it is just a suspicion and doubt, the partial mother-in-law is a person who does not die in the heart of the Yellow River, this suspicion grows up like a tiger in her heart, and for a time it became a heart demon, and the mother-in-law who was overwhelmed by jealousy actually came up with an extremely absurd method and wanted to try it to the end.

Ridiculous temptation

It is said that there are evil spirits in the heart, and the mother-in-law cannot sleep peacefully all night, so she does not stop doing two things, and plans to put on the clothes of her father-in-law to test her daughter-in-law.

Let's not say how absurd this matter is, this mother-in-law can also be called a sentence of "stupid to the extreme", she obviously did not think about the results of the test, the temptation succeeded, but also ruined the reputation of the family, but also let her husband carry the black pot, the temptation was not successful, how much insult to the reputation of the daughter-in-law?

That night, the mother-in-law took advantage of her husband's sleep, put on her husband's clothes, and quietly sneaked into her daughter-in-law's room to sleep with her daughter-in-law. Holding her daughter-in-law from behind, her daughter-in-law was frightened, mistakenly thinking that she was a flower thief, and scratched her mother-in-law's face in the confusion.

The mother-in-law did not expect the daughter-in-law's reaction to be so fierce, and fled in a hurry, but inadvertently the daughter-in-law saw that what she was wearing was her husband's clothes, so the daughter-in-law subconsciously thought that it was the father-in-law who did it.

Court

Before dawn, the daughter-in-law hurried home to cry, saying that she was insulted by her father-in-law, and the daughter-in-law's mother-in-law's family naturally did not beat it and directly announced the public announcement to the yamen.

This is good, it was originally the mother-in-law's selfish temptation, but in the end it was full of storms in the city, knowing that the mother-in-law who had run into the catastrophe could only lie that she was sick and did not come forward. Even more wronged was the innocent father-in-law, who naturally did not do anything indecent, so he was inexplicably confused and called out unjustly at the gate.

At this time, the daughter-in-law came out to identify herself, saying that she had scratched on the face of the indecent person, and now there should be new wounds that have not healed, is it known at a glance, but on the father-in-law's face did not see the scratch scar on the skin that the daughter-in-law said, obviously this has nothing to do with the father-in-law.

At this moment, although the father-in-law was innocent, but the daughter-in-law was put on the moral corruption, slandering the in-laws' hat, in ancient times, the woman's reputation is more important than life, the daughter-in-law herself felt ashamed and embarrassed, not long after returning to hang herself, this time, the father-in-law was accused of going to the gate.

No one knows what the truth of the matter is, except for the culprit's mother-in-law, whose relatives insist that his father-in-law's forced rape attempt destroyed his daughter-in-law's reputation and forced her to commit suicide out of shame. On the other hand, the completely unaware father-in-law can only insist that he has never coveted his daughter-in-law.

Faced with the situation of stalemate between the two sides, the county magistrate in charge of solving the case also felt a headache for a while. Although the father-in-law who died in the daughter-in-law is indeed a big doubt, the father-in-law's face does not have the wound that the daughter-in-law said, what is the matter?

Fortunately, Skynet was restored, and it was not leaked. Although the mother-in-law pretended to be ill, the neighbors eventually saw the scars on her face and reported her mother-in-law, and in this way, the mother-in-law was summoned to the county gate, and everything finally came to light.

The mother-in-law, who knew that she had made a big mistake, confessed to her absurd behavior under the pressure of the county magistrate, admitting that she was too jealous and suspicious of her daughter-in-law's beauty, and came up with the stupid method of pretending to be her husband to seduce her daughter-in-law.

In this way, the farce of "mother-in-law raping daughter-in-law" surfaced, and finally the truth came out, the mother-in-law got the punishment she deserved, and the father-in-law was finally released back to the home, but the young and beautiful life could never come back.

There is no doubt that what this mother-in-law did was extremely stupid, and the reasons for this tragedy can be roughly divided into two:

First: jealousy is heavy, but they dare not ask in person.

It is not a shameful thing to be jealous of people's relationship with each other, after all, not everyone can trust each other 100%, but when there is a misunderstanding, the first step is not to speculate on the intentions of others, but to ask the truth of the facts.

When the mother-in-law suspected that the father-in-law and daughter-in-law had deviantly acted, she not only did not dispel her suspicions that she was completely speculative, but even came up with a completely inappropriate move to test her husband and daughter-in-law without any evidence. Such behavior cannot be said to be stupid.

Second: there is no sense of responsibility and responsibility, and dare not pay for what they do

The stupidity of the mother-in-law is also reflected in her own cowardice and escape, after almost "framing" the daughter-in-law led to the daughter-in-law's unjust suicide, she not only had no remorse, but also did not want to come out to face the facts, but instead to escape the sins she had committed, put all the blame on her husband's head and carry a black pot, vainly trying to evade the punishment of the law, but finally she was arrested and brought to justice.

People get along with each other, trust is the foundation, if the relationship can not be established on the basis of mutual trust, then it is necessary to properly reflect on whether the relationship is really suitable for themselves.

If you can't achieve complete trust, you must ask clearly in time if you have doubts in your heart, rather than making up your own mind to do some unnecessary and stupid temptations, which will only make the trust between people fall into the freezing point, let everyone's fate fall into the abyss of disaster, and eventually pay a rather painful price and punishment. There is actually no formula for getting along with each other, the real formula is only trust.
