Mind reading, the emperor saw my fist hard

Chapter 4: The Serious Concubine

[Let me see the details. This Ye Qing was born in a poor family. He only has an old mother at home. She is not in good health. He was able to pass the imperial examination and become a Jinshi thanks to his wife's hard work in embroidery.]

[Ye Qing passed the imperial examination and had no background, so he was directly sent to a remote county town as a county magistrate. The first thing Ye Qing did when he became an official was to take his beloved courtesan as his concubine.]

"This concubine is also very capable. She can coax her mother-in-law and husband, and she can also coax the children born to Ye Qing's original wife. She made the whole family disown the original wife and treat a concubine as the head lady.

[Ye Qing's original wife's eyes had long been blurred due to years of embroidery, and she was no longer useful, so Ye Qing locked her up in the backyard and only sent her some simple meals every day, just enough to keep her from starving.]

[Everyone in Zhengyang County knows that the county magistrate's wife is a charming beauty, but who would have known that the county magistrate's wife who usually comes out for social events is actually a concubine, and a concubine who came from a brothel.]

【Tsk tsk tsk tsk!!!】

Xu Jinyu shook his head and sighed a series of times.

As Xu Jinyu spoke, Ye Qing's face became paler and paler, and sweat poured down like rain. However, there was a knife on his neck, so he dared not move.

The chief clerk and the county lieutenant who were lying behind the county magistrate opened their mouths in surprise and looked at Ye Qing in front of them.

On weekdays, the county magistrate was just a little greedy for money, and he was very obedient to his wife. No matter what request his wife made, the county magistrate would agree to it.

Unexpectedly, this lady was not a lady at all, but just a concubine.

Everyone could understand that officials were a little lustful, but this was the first time they had seen an official taking a concubine as his wife.

Even if the wife comes from a poor background and is not presentable, then just let her go out less. This is the first time I have seen someone lock up his original wife.

The chief clerk was a scholar. He opened his mouth to advise the county magistrate, but when he met the prince's gaze, he closed his mouth.

There is no point in trying to persuade him. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is here and will make Ye Qing pay the price.

Seeing the expressions of the chief clerk and the county lieutenant, Zi Shuyan understood that these people had also heard Xu Zhaodi's thoughts.

However, the expressions of those yamen runners did not change, probably because they did not hear Xu Zhaodi's thoughts.

What's the point?

Zi Shuyan frowned.

【Hahaha………】

There was a burst of crazy laughter.

Zi Shuyan raised his eyebrows and looked at Xu Zhaodi, wondering what interesting thing she had seen.

The county magistrate's head is no longer green, it is simply green grassland. 】

[This courtesan kept a well-mannered scholar, a strong man, and an androgynous boy.]

[There are all kinds of styles. I didn't realize that this courtesan also has a hobby of stamp collecting. 】

[Hmm? Where did this androgynous boy come from? ]

[Oh! So she is from Nanfeng Pavilion. She has a lot of fun. Besides, the two children born to this courtesan are not the county magistrate's.]

[The remaining children of the county magistrate were all spoiled by the courtesan, and these two promising children are not the county magistrate's. ]

[So the county magistrate worked hard for half his life, but all the money he earned was earned by others.]

When Ye Qing heard this, even though he was being held down by the guards, he raised his head with all his might, and looked at Xu Jinyu with eyes as if he wanted to eat him.

Zi Shuyan glanced at Ye Qing and said coldly: "County Magistrate Ye is a talented person, but he dares to take his concubine as his wife."

Xu Jinyu raised his head when he heard this: "The prince had made preparations before coming. He knew that this county magistrate was not a good person."

Ye Qing stared at Xu Jinyu with bloodshot eyes, his eyes seemed to be filled with poison, "Although Rou Niang was born in a poor family, she is the most sensible and kind person, and is especially good to her mother and children."

"Several children also said that Rou Niang was better than their biological mother."

Xu Jinyu raised his eyelids and said coldly in his heart: [It’s indeed good! Your Rou Niang told the children born to your first wife that your father is the county magistrate, and you don’t have to do anything. ]

[Your own child started learning at the age of three, started formal school at the age of five, and can speak fluently at a young age. You are most satisfied with the child born to an oiran.]

[Unfortunately it's not yours! ]

After being told twice by Xu Jinyu that the promising child in the family was not his own, Ye Qing was already broken-down. Despite the injury to his neck, he shouted: "Rouniang was redeemed by me from the brothel. She loves me the most. How could she betray me?"

"It's slander. It must be slander."

Ye Qing shouted until he was hoarse.

Xu Jinyu looked up in confusion.

[Did I miss something? The prince also found out about the problems in the county magistrate's backyard. ]

[Whether he betrayed or not will be known once we catch his mistresses. 】

Zi Shuyan chuckled and ordered the county lieutenant behind the county magistrate: "Take someone to bring the county magistrate's family here, and find out Rou Niang's mistresses."

"Yes!"

When the county lieutenant heard the order, he got up and ran. He also wanted to know how the charming Rou Niang was playing.

Seeing people gradually gathering around, Zi Shuyan narrowed his eyes. He needed to test how many people could hear Xu Zhaodi's voice.

Then he said to Ye Qing: "County Magistrate Ye, just wait for your dismissal."

[It's okay to dismiss him now. According to the plot in the book, the prince disappeared in Zhengyang County, and the county magistrate was beheaded by the enraged emperor.]

[As soon as the order was given, the courtesan took away all the money and disappeared with her child.]

[The Ye family is left with a half-blind wife, an old mother who can't walk, and three children who were raised as waste by the courtesan.]

[Within half a year, this family will be wiped out, and Ye Qing will have no descendants.]

[This ending is so cool. Ye Qing’s original wife was unlucky to have met such a thing.]

Unparalleled! Unparalleled!

These two words lingered in Ye Qing's mind. How could he, Ye Qing, have no descendants?

"Pfft!"

A mouthful of blood spurted out and Ye Qing fell directly to the ground.

[This county magistrate is too angry. He was so angry that he vomited blood when he knew that his concubine had cheated on him. If he knew that his concubine was laughing at him for being useless behind his back, he would be so angry that he would die.]

Ye Qing, who was lying on the ground, twitched and then became motionless.

The people watching on the side just looked at Zi Shuyan timidly, with no particular changes in their expressions.

For now, it seems that ordinary people cannot hear this voice.
