I became a big shot in the quick transmigration world.

Chapter 10 There is a Reborn Person in the Mansion 9
However, Qin Shuye knew how arduous joining the army was, and he himself had nearly lost his life several times. Therefore, he fundamentally disagreed with Qin Shumeng joining the army, showing no room for negotiation whatsoever.

So Qin Shumeng had no choice but to compromise and prepare to marry Kong Lian under her brother's arrangement.

In his previous life, everything was done against his will. Yu Muhuai sighed silently.

This world is relatively more open than the ancient world she once lived in. Although it is still a patriarchal society, women's status is not low.

Among the various armies, there was a unit composed entirely of women, known as the "Women's Army".

This world has a unique system for cultivating internal energy, which Yu Muhuai has never seen before.

If a woman diligently cultivates her internal strength from a young age, her martial arts skills may not be inferior to those of a man.

However, the requirements for joining the Women's Army are much higher than those for men.

They and men each have their own strengths and weaknesses, but in some tasks during wartime, the women soldiers are more adept at them.

Examples include scouts, raids, intelligence gathering, disguise, and espionage.

Besides the female warriors, women were also sometimes included among the regular archers, light cavalry, and infantry.

When they train and go out to fight, they are no different from men, without any preferential treatment or special privileges. They are soldiers with real strength and exceptional bravery.

However, due to the unique circumstances of women joining the military, they cannot marry as early as ordinary women. Moreover, the range of potential partners for women in the military is limited, and they are basically matched within the military camp.

Ordinary men still find it hard to accept that their wives are people who need to go to the battlefield at any time and may sacrifice themselves for their country at any time.

Moreover, in order to take care of these women who have dedicated their lives to the country, they not only receive high salaries, but the Yuanchang Kingdom also has a special law stipulating this.

Women who join the army can only have one wife; they cannot have concubines.

Although some men cannot control themselves and have illegitimate children, they can bring them home to raise, and their wives usually turn a blind eye. But overall, this law is still very advanced for its time.

Even Yu Muhuai, a college student educated in modern science, was somewhat surprised when he saw this law in his memory.

However, I'll put joining the army on hold for now.

The most urgent task is to clear his name of suspicion and to fight against Yan Qing, the reborn person.

Seeing Yan Qing bow respectfully, Yu Muhuai, as before, ignored her, but she also didn't speak ill of her.

Yan Qing wasn't surprised; she just felt that Yu Muhuai might not have recovered from the interrogation at the Dali Temple yet.

So Yan Qing followed Yu Muhuai and Qin Shuye into Mu Ning Zhai.

After Yu Muhuai and Qin Shuye were seated and the maid had prepared tea, Yan Qing prepared to ask what had happened that morning.

Although Yan Qing had bribed some servants in the mansion, none of them knew about Qin Shuye's memorial to the emperor at the morning court, so Yan Qing naturally didn't know either.

"Shuye, Xiaomeng, has the matter been resolved?"

"This"

Just as Qin Shuye was about to speak, Yu Muhuai interrupted him.

"Aunt Yan, my brother and I had just arrived at the gate when you came over. It seems that nothing in this mansion can be kept from you, Aunt Yan."

Yu Muhuai's words struck Yan Qing like a bolt from the blue.

It should be noted that although Qin Shuye redeemed her from the brothel and brought her back to the Qin family mansion, she is still a slave.

As long as Qin Shuye doesn't specifically report to the government to remove her from slave status, Yan Qing will remain in this position. The only way for her to escape slavery is to become the true mistress of the Qin household.

Although this status allows her to address the master by his name due to Qin Shuye's favoritism, she cannot arbitrarily interfere in the affairs of the mansion, nor can she place any people in her service.

Of course, with many women in the backyard of every household, such sordid affairs are inevitable. But as long as they are not discovered, no one will punish them.

But when Yu Muhuai asked the question so openly, Yan Qing immediately panicked.

Having more experience than others, Yan Qing quickly calmed down and answered calmly.

"Xiao Meng, I was so worried about you and Shu Ye that I sent Xiao Cui to wait outside the gate. As soon as she saw you, Xiao Cui ran back to tell me."

Yan Qing had only one maid in the mansion, who was also her confidante, named Xiao Cui.

At this moment, Xiao Cui, who was standing next to Yan Qing, quickly chimed in.

"Yes, General, Miss. Ever since the two masters left, Aunt Yan has been unable to eat or drink and is very restless. She specially sent me to wait at the door and instructed me to report back as soon as I see the two masters. Aunt Yan wants to know news about the two masters as soon as possible."

Hearing Xiao Cui say this, Qin Shuye's furrowed brows gradually relaxed, and his expression softened.

"Humph."

Then Yu Muhuai snorted and looked sharply at Xiao Cui.

"Who gave you the audacity to spy on your master's itinerary at will? You are the only maidservant of Aunt Yan. Instead of caring about the affairs of Qinghe Garden, you have reached out to me and my brother. What are you up to?"

Xiao Cui was startled. She stammered, "This servant...this servant only obeyed Aunt Yan's orders because she saw that Aunt Yan was worried about the safety of the masters. This servant...this servant had no ulterior motives!"

Yu Muhuai persisted, saying, "No ulterior motives? You, a mere maidservant of a concubine, dare to overstep your bounds and interfere in the affairs of your masters? Who gave you the audacity?"

Xiao Cui's face turned deathly pale. She never expected that simply taking on such a small matter would be described by Yu Muhuai as something so outrageous.

When it comes to eloquence, this illiterate maidservant was no match for Yu Muhuai, a college student.

As Yu Muhuai's words became increasingly distorted, Xiao Cui was unable to straighten them out and could only be led by the nose.

"This servant...this servant was wrong, please punish me, please punish me, mistress." Xiao Cui didn't know how to explain, so she simply knelt down, burst into tears, and kept begging for forgiveness.

While feigning anger, Yu Muhuai secretly rejoiced, thinking, "A world with hierarchical distinctions is truly different. With the suppression of status, one can practically walk sideways."

However, Yu Muhuai's expression did not change at all. She looked at Xiao Cui, whose nose and tears were flowing, and said.

"Aunt Yan is ignorant and immature. Instead of properly admonishing her, you, a mere maid, are stirring up trouble. Keeping someone like that around will only ruin the atmosphere in the inner quarters."

Xiao Cui was completely terrified when she heard this. When had she stirred up trouble? When had she disrupted the harmony of the backyard?

Does this master even have any sense of reason?
But how could these maids possibly reason with their masters?
Thinking of this, she quickly looked up at Yan Qing, hoping that Yan Qing would plead for her.

Yan Qing was also somewhat at a loss.

It wasn't Xiao Cui who relayed the news, but rather a guard whom Yan Qing had bribed. Yan Qing only found out after the message was passed on to Xiao Cui.

But once she'd said it, she couldn't very well contradict herself. Besides, if they found out she had a relationship with the guards, things would probably get even worse.

So Yan Qing had no choice but to remain silent and wait for things to develop.
