“Officer, please do justice for me! I don’t care about titles and just want to be Chu Zheng’s mistress, not even hoping he’ll take me as a concubine. I just want to quietly stay by his side.
But this morning, as soon as Chu Zheng left, a bunch of hooligans came to kill me and insult me.
If it weren’t for the tall and strong old woman I hired, my innocence wouldn’t be preserved today, and I would have died a violent death. They said they were hired by Madam Chu, who just can’t tolerate me!
I’m so miserable!”
The delicate and sweet female voice cried and wailed, as if she had suffered the greatest crime in the world.
No man who heard it wouldn’t feel weak in the legs.
The woman kneeling at the Chu family’s door indeed had the capital to do so. She was fair-skinned, delicate, plump, and graceful, and her tears fell like pear blossoms in the rain, making her pitiful to see.
Her figure was also first-class, with a full chest, slender waist, and plump hips. Uh… her hips were a bit alarmingly plump.
Chu Zhiyi naturally knew her. In her previous life, this Qu Wanniang was only brought into the family when her belly was quite big, and Liu used countless underhanded tricks but couldn’t get rid of her baby.
And later she really gave birth to a son.
When she learned the truth about her background and brought down Chu Zheng and Liu in one fell swoop, this woman cleverly ran away with her child and some gold, silver, and jewelry.
She was not only clever, shameless, and opportunistic, but the tall, ugly old woman by her side was also a talent, and she even knew kung fu.
“I remember the folk saying, what about women with big butts?”
Xiaomei immediately replied, “They can give birth to sons.”
“Yes, yes, that’s the saying.”
Chu Zhiyi’s words seemed unintentional, but Liu in front and Chu Miaomiao behind heard them.
The two had different thoughts, while Chu Zhiyi watched as if she were watching a play.
Looking again at the Five City Garrison surrounding them, one person was riding on a tall horse, with a frivolous face.
Deputy Commander Cao Qian!
His sister’s husband was also a Supervising Secretary of the Ministry of Justice, and the position of Supervising Secretary was originally a sure thing, but Chu Zheng had suddenly snatched it away.
It was conceivable how much this family hated him.
But things were so coincidental that he had caught Chu Zheng, the dog thief, by the handle today. Cao Qian grinned.
He raised his horsewhip and knocked down the several hooligans who were tied up like rice dumplings, “Honestly confess to me, who hired you to break into someone’s house and bully a weak woman?”
“Reporting to the officer, it was the Chu family’s servants! They gave us twenty taels of silver, saying that if we did a good job, they would give us a reward.”
“They said that Madam Chu wanted to deal with the mistress that Chu Zheng was keeping, and wanted our brothers to play with her first, and then strip her naked and throw her on the street.”
“That’s the person.”
The hooligans with blood on their faces pointed their fingers one after another. A servant standing on the edge of the door turned pale and tried to hide behind, but was dragged out by the soldiers like wolves and tigers.
The servant was unable to move after being whipped, and several big feet stepped on his body and head. Once they fell into their hands, people were no longer people.
Liu’s face also turned pale, afraid that the servant would expose her.
Speak, did Madam Chu instruct you to hire someone to commit the crime?
No… no. This was all done by me alone, it has nothing to do with Madam.
The servant stubbornly held on, and Liu quietly breathed a sigh of relief.
Who would have thought that the next moment the servant’s head was controlled and his mouth was pried open, and another person grabbed his tongue and slashed it with a long knife, and the tongue and blood gushed out.
Cao Qian grinned, You said that Madam Chu instructed you? Very well, Madam Chu, give an explanation.
You…
How could Liu have imagined that they would not only be so cruel but also openly distort the truth.
Cao Qian slowly picked up the bow and arrow, Our Five City Garrison works for the people, and we are not afraid of the powerful. I will kill those who harm the people to uphold justice. Madam Chu, do you have any last words to say?
Liu couldn’t stand anymore, she was really scared.
She, who only played in the inner courtyard, had never dealt with the Five City Garrison, and she didn’t know how bold and reckless they were.
Ayi, Miaomiao, save your mother!
Chu Zhiyi shrugged, I’m an ignorant wild girl who grew up in the countryside, I don’t dare to go head-to-head with officials.
Chu Miaomiao naturally wanted to hide, so as not to be implicated.
But when she thought about how she had to win over Chu Zheng, a plan came to her mind.
Mother, quickly agree to let that woman enter the house as Father’s concubine, and ask her to withdraw the lawsuit. The Five City Garrison will naturally have no position to interfere in this matter.
What?
Liu naturally didn’t want to.
Chu Miaomiao snorted, This is the only way to do it right now. If the people don’t sue, the officials won’t investigate. Letting her withdraw the lawsuit is the goal, and she’s still under your nose after she enters the house.
Seeing that Cao Qian had already aimed the sharp arrow at her, Liu was both hateful and fearful, and had no choice but to obey.
Qu Wanniang’s purpose was originally to enter the Chu family, and she happily agreed when she heard this.
She turned around and kowtowed to Cao Qian, Thank you, officer, for your sympathy for the people and for standing up for me. I will remember it all in my heart, and I will repay your kindness today by being a cow or a horse in my next life.
Cao Qian smiled and put away the bow and arrow, This official only stands up for the powerless and uninfluential people. If you encounter danger again in the future, come and find this official.
Thank you, officer!
Cao Qian led the troops and dragged the hooligans away.
Qu Wanniang and the ugly old woman entered the mansion directly, and deliberately bumped into Liu when they passed her, extremely arrogant.
Liu’s legs were already weak, and she almost fell, but fortunately Tao Mama quickly supported her.
This bitch!
Qu Wanniang started to wander around after entering the mansion, wanting to find a place to live that suited her. She took a fancy to Xianzizhu.
How could Liu let her have her way? This courtyard is the residence of my Chu family’s eldest daughter, you are not worthy to live here with your status.
Qu Wanniang rolled her eyes and looked at Chu Zhiyi and Chu Miaomiao not far away, Do you agree to me living here?
Chu Miaomiao didn’t say anything, she felt that Liu was not important, but it was not good to turn against her now.
Chu Zhiyi smiled, I only lived here for a few days before, and I snatched it. If Auntie can snatch it, then it’s yours.
You called me Auntie so well.
As she spoke, she looked at the ugly old woman.
The tall and strong ugly old woman walked over and took out a silver note from her arms and stuffed it into Chu Zhiyi’s hand.
Two hundred taels.
Chu Zhiyi smiled even more, Thank you, Auntie, for the reward.
You’re welcome, it’s right to give the younger generation pocket money.
After saying that, she broke into Xianzizhu with the ugly old woman and threw out all the people guarding inside.
Liu was about to die of anger.
Pointing at Chu Zhiyi, she wanted to scold her, but the maid who had slapped Chu Miaomiao was standing on the side with a straight face, and Liu swallowed the swear words back.
She’s really your father’s good daughter!
After all, he’s my biological father, it’s the duty of the younger generation to make the elders happy and comfortable.
Chu Miaomiao clenched the handkerchief in her hand, regretting why she didn’t speak up just now?
When Chu Zheng came back, if Qu Wanniang spoke well of Chu Zhiyi in his ear, her credit for suggesting that she enter the house today would be gone.
