Hearing Qingyu's explanation, Ju Miaochun's lips curled into a sneer. She was not a dull person, so she would not easily believe such an obvious lie.

She narrowed her eyes slightly, her gaze as sharp as a blade, as if she could penetrate Qingyu's heart.

"Oh? Why didn't you say anything just now? Are you trying to make excuses?" There was obvious ridicule and disdain in her words.

Qingyu's face turned pale instantly, and she knew that she had been seen through.

Facing Ju Miaochun's questioning, Qingyu felt uneasy in her heart. She knew very well that the county magistrate in front of her was extremely shrewd and could reveal his flaws if he was not careful. She tried to stay calm and tried to cover up her panic with words: "Gang...Gang Caomin was just frightened by the aura of the adults and did not dare to say anything."

"Really? It seems that I am very powerful." Ju Miaochun responded lightly, his words full of sarcasm. She ignored Qingyu and turned towards Nangong Heyu on the other side.

Qingyu breathed a sigh of relief after seeing her leave.

Compared to Qingzhu, she had never seen such a scene before, and she felt exhausted from dealing with it.

Nangong and Yu were kept aside.

After Ju Miaochun came over, he looked at the suppressed Nangong Heyu and asked softly: "Why are you running?" While speaking, he reached out his hand to touch him.

Nangong Heyu subconsciously dodged away and looked at Ju Miaochun with eyes full of disgust and vigilance. He cursed in his mind that this old woman was so shameless that she even wanted to threaten her family into submission. Fortunately, he had been smart enough to relocate all his family members before, otherwise he would have been in dire straits by now.

Thinking of this, Nangong Heyu's face became even more ugly, with anger and helplessness written on his pale face. He clenched his fists, trying to control his inner anger and prevent his emotions from getting out of control.

He knew that now was not the time to have an attack, and he had to calmly deal with the predicament at hand. His so-called crying could not solve the predicament at hand for him.

"Still hiding? Do you know how many people are proud to be the concubines of their own officials?"

"I'm ashamed of this. It's simply my shame that you fancy me." Nangong Heyu didn't use any honorifics when he spoke to her.

If she wants to get his honorific title, this old woman doesn't deserve it.

"Shame? That's all, I won't punish you because of your face." After she said this, she took her hand back and tried to put her hand on his face without persistence.

"Take my concubine in the twenty-sixth room back to the room and wait for my blessing."

The man responded respectfully: "Yes, sir."

After her men captured the concubine she had been coveting and sent her away, she finally felt a lot better.

The recent period has been too depressing.

Her job of making money for a long time was temporarily stopped because the idiot emperor suddenly wanted to go on tour incognito. This made her very uncomfortable. She finally fell in love with someone who liked her, but she was afraid that the emperor would notice if she went too far, so she could only Secretly send some troops to capture Nangong and Yu.

Fortunately, he was caught.

Thinking of something, she looked at Qingyu.

I don’t know what her purpose is. Since she doesn’t tell her, there is no need to leave her here to waste her efforts.

"Kill her." After saying that, she walked towards the outside with a little eagerness.

She couldn't wait to spend some time with her concubine.

Qingyu behind her shrank her eyes after hearing her words, with horror in her eyes. But she quickly thought of something, and her eyes became calm. She was the palace maid next to Lu Yingning when she was born, and she was the guardian spirit beside her after she died. No matter what, why should she show her cowardice and let others look down upon her? Although Qingyu's heart was full of fear and anxiety, she did not show any weakness or beg for mercy. She waited quietly for death, as if expecting some kind of relief.

Her eyes revealed a kind of determination and persistence, as if telling the world that although she was a little palace maid, she also had her own dignity and pride.

The group of officers and soldiers dragged Qingyu down after hearing what Ju Miaochun said.

On Lu Yingning's side, she frowned after hearing the news Qingzhu inquired about.

Unexpectedly, Qingyu was caught chasing people.

If I had known earlier, I should have sent Qingzhu at that time. Qingyu’s temperament...

"I know, let Qingxuan bring two people with you... let's go together."

Lu Yingning thought over and over again and felt that it would be safer for her to go along.

By the way, look for that pitiful handsome man during the day.

Qingxuan quickly picked the people, and they walked outside.

In the antique room, red curtains stood aside, and red candles burned with red light, adding an ambiguous light to the bedroom.

Nangong Heyu was tied to a chair by the group of people, and his hands were tightly bound by rough hemp ropes.

He tried to break free, and when he noticed some looseness, a look of surprise flashed in his eyes.

He struggled to break away slowly again, and finally untied the hemp rope that was restraining him.

He threw the hemp rope on the ground and glanced around nervously. He stretched out his hand and carefully took out the note placed inside his clothes and took a look.

Under the dim light, he could barely see the fonts on it, and a smile filled his face.

He didn't expect that she would want to save him.

However, considering the people around her and her current situation.

He felt that it would not be easy for her to save him, and she might fail.

He began to worry about her again.

I hope she won't put her own safety at risk.

Thinking about it, he walked towards the window. As soon as he opened the window, he saw people wearing uniforms of officers and soldiers standing outside.

After seeing his head exposed, two swords were thrust diagonally in front of him.

He glanced outside and then looked away.

He had already expected this.

They didn't tie him too tightly, it was just that there were people watching outside and they weren't afraid of him breaking free.

By adding this layer of restraint to him, they simply wanted to express themselves in front of the county magistrate and let the magistrate see their attitude towards what she ordered.

Qingyu has been pulled to a corner of the county magistrate's house.

"Have you dealt with this person here?"

"Well, but before we solve it, do we have to..." As he spoke, he looked at Qingyu in front of him.

Qingyu didn't expect that the thoughts of the two officers and soldiers in front of him were so disgusting.

The man following him nodded.

The two reached an agreement and moved closer to Qingyu in the middle.

Their hands were placed on Qingyu's shoulders.

Qingyu felt two pairs of rough palms rubbing against her shoulders, and her heart began to feel dead.

Her eyes looked at the waist of one of the officers and soldiers.
