Jiu Zhang Ji: The Daily Life of the Reborn Daughter

Chapter 37 Climax Ending

Bai Junzhe tried his best to ignore the noise around him. He looked up at Qiao Lili, who was standing on the steps as noble as a fairy concubine, and spoke with difficulty.

"You, if you agree to get back together, we can go together to ask the emperor to revoke his decision." Bai Junzhe said this without feeling any confidence. He was 70% sure when he came here. In his heart, Qiao Lili was a soft and sticky little bun, very well-behaved and easy to coax. What he was afraid of was that the old Duke's wife would stop him.

But now, Qiao Lili seemed like a completely different person. He actually regretted coming here at this moment, and the bad premonition in his heart was getting stronger and stronger.

"Get back together? You want me to disobey your orders because of a few lies. Do you think I, Qiao Lili, am a fool?" Qiao Lili asked loudly.

"I, I didn't lie." Bai Junzhe had to stick to it.

"It is said that General Bai has made many outstanding achievements on the battlefields at the border. Why does he need a weak woman to save his life? Is this woman a martial artist? An unparalleled master?" Qiao Lili stood on the steps at the entrance of Duke Dingguo's Mansion with a sharp gaze, looking down at Bai Junzhe who was standing below.

Bai Junzhe felt as if he was being stared at by this gaze, like a monster that had nowhere to hide.

The crowd watching laughed, "She is a martial arts master, if she is a martial arts master, then I am the leader of the martial arts world."

"Which dance? The dance of dancing?"

......

At this moment, several people came over from not far away, and first clasped their fists to Bai Junzhe and said, "General Bai, I didn't expect to meet you here. Nice to meet you."

"Deputy General Shang, long time no see." Bai Junzhe forced himself to put on a calm expression and clasped his fists. Shang Zhen was the deputy general and Bai Junzhe was only a captain. It would be fine if outsiders didn't know him and called him a little general, but he should be terrified to be called a little general by his former superior.

"I have already left the military camp. From now on, there is no Deputy General Shang, only Shang Zhen." The person who came was Shang Zhen. Before Shang Zhen finished speaking, a person next to him looked down at Lou Xinyue who was kneeling on the ground and said excitedly: "Brother Shang, Brother Shang, look, the oiran, this is Miss Xinyue, the oiran of Hongxiuzhao in Xiguan City."

After hearing what he said, several people who were traveling with him came closer to take a look, "It's really Miss Xinyue, why is she here?"

The onlookers were immediately excited: "We all guessed right, it really is the girl in the building, hahahaha."

"Savior, what life did you save?"

"You don't understand this, you bachelor. Just beg you to save me. If you don't save me, I will be so anxious that I will die." Someone imitated the tone vividly.

"What a lie, what a despicable person."

"What lifesaver? Does a small general like him need an oiran to save his life?"

"Fortunately, the emperor was wise and cancelled the engagement."

"Yes, the emperor is wise, the emperor is wise." Several people actually knelt down in the street, shouting that the emperor was wise. Someone led the crowd, and in the end, all the onlookers knelt down on the ground.

When this scene gets out in the future and so many people support the emperor's decision, the emperor will surely be very pleased and think that he is very sharp-eyed and has a keen eye.

It's impossible to take back the order.

However, the shock these people brought was not over yet. "Miss Xinyue redeemed herself from Hongxiu Zhao two years ago. Did she come to the capital?"

Another person patted his shoulder and said, "You are ignorant, aren't you? Miss Xinyue has always lived in Yangliu Lane in Xiguan City. I heard that a military officer often visited her." He turned to look at Bai Junzhe, as if he had suddenly realized something: "General Bai, could it be that person is you?"

One sentence caused a thousand waves. According to the laws of the Great Yan Kingdom, officials could take concubines, no more than four, but they were not allowed to keep mistresses. It was clearly stipulated that those who kept mistresses could not serve as officials in the court.

General Bai's official position was already in jeopardy. If the policy of keeping a mistress were to be put into practice, his official career would be completely over.

Lou Xinyue collapsed to the ground. She had never expected that someone in the capital would recognize her and know exactly where she lived in Xiguan City. If someone with ulterior motives went to investigate, her dealings with Bai Junzhe would be exposed.

How could Qiao Lili fight an unprepared battle after living a second life? As early as the first day of her rebirth, she arranged for people to find out everything Lou Xinyue and Bai Junzhe did in Xiguan City. If witnesses were needed, she could find twenty people.

The group of people that Shang Zhen brought with him were the soldiers that he had led before coming to join Duke Dingguo's Mansion. What they said and did here today was their first task in their new positions.

They went to serve in the army and fight in the war honestly. They had never been to a brothel, let alone knew the girls there. This was all a good show performed according to the script given by Qiao Lili.

Isn't it more convincing when the truth is spoken by others than when you speak it yourself?

Bai Junzhe's head was buzzing. He didn't know what to say or do next. Lou Xinyue's legs were numb from kneeling. She knew there was no point in kneeling any longer. She wanted to stand up but couldn't. She raised her head, revealing her aggrieved face, and called out, "Brother Zhe." She looked at Bai Junzhe eagerly, hoping that he could help her, but Bai Junzhe seemed to be deaf and blind and just stood there stupidly.

"Beat them, beat this shameless couple." Among the onlookers, someone threw stones at Bai Junzhe and Lou Xinyue.

When the others were looking for something to throw at them, they discovered that there were baskets of stones on the benches and on the ground next to them.

The stones are not big and will hurt if they hit your body. They may even cause bleeding if they hit a sharp spot, but they will never kill you.

So, under the instigation of some people with ulterior motives, everyone grabbed stones and threw them at Bai Junzhe and Lou Xinyue.

Of course, Qiao Lili had someone prepare these stones. Rotten vegetable leaves or rotten eggs? That won't do. The gate of Duke Dingguo's mansion must be clean.

For fear of being hurt by mistake, everyone protected Qiao Lili and the old Duke's wife back to the mansion and quickly closed the door. Shang Zhen, the housekeeper, and Xiao Sanzi were taking care of them outside, so there would definitely not be any chaos. However, Qiao Lili actually wanted to watch the show for a while and give the downed dog a beating. How nice.

When they returned home, they did not call the Second Master and the Second Mistress. Of course, they did so on purpose. They could only go back to the East Mansion, but the stones had no eyes. Some, no, many, fell on them as well. Of course, this was also intentional.

The second old lady fell down while dodging, and her wrist was probably broken. The second master's head was pierced by a stone, and when he ran back to the East Mansion, his face was covered with blood. The doorman was shocked, and the second master was so angry that he kicked him in the stomach, "You son of a bitch, you don't have the sense to show respect, and you didn't ask someone to protect me."

Bai Junzhe was a military man after all, so he reacted after being hit by a few stones. He quickly left the gate of Duke Dingguo's Mansion and was about to reach the alley when he found that Lou Xinyue had not followed him. He had to go back to find her. At this time, Lou Xinyue was curled up on the ground, with her head already broken by several stones.

He bent down, picked up Lou Xinyue and ran away in a panic. The door on his back was wide open and several stones flew towards him with strong winds.
