The queen is spoiling the king and madly criticizing him for spoiling her

This little noise was enough to attract their attention.

In the carriage was Lin Qi's unfortunate sister, and the mother who had conspired with Lin Qi to plot against the young girl. Lin Qi's mother had come along, fearing that Lin Qi couldn't handle it alone. Seeing her sister trying to resist, she was so frightened that she immediately grabbed her hair and stopped her, threatening her not to make even the slightest noise.

Gu Jianchu was unsure whether Xie Qingzhi would meddle in other people's affairs. Just as Gu Jianchu was about to get off the carriage, Xie Qingzhi used the whip to lift Lin Qi's chin again, "Who is in the carriage?"

Lin Qi didn't expect Xie Qingzhi to meddle in other people's business. With a look of panic in his eyes, he hurriedly explained, "It's my mother in the carriage. The so-called urgent matter is just a report. My grandfather fell down while working in the fields. My mother was so worried that she asked me to drive over to check. If I hadn't been driving so fast in my haste, I wouldn't have hit him."

"I wonder if you could be flexible and allow me to send my mother to my grandfather's house first, and then I will go to the princess's mansion and let the princess deal with me."

Lin Qi kowtowed to Xie Qingzhi repeatedly.

After hearing Lin Qi's explanation, the crowd began to talk to him.

Xie Qingzhi did not respond to Lin Qi's request, but instead walked towards the carriage with the whip in hand. Looking at Xie Qingzhi's actions, Lin Qi's heart was beating like thunder, and beads of sweat appeared on his forehead due to nervousness. He stared at Xie Qingzhi's actions like a frightened bird.

Just as Xie Qingzhi opened the carriage curtain, Lin Qi bravely rushed forward and hugged Xie Qingzhi's thighs, "The person sitting in the carriage is really my mother, please don't look at her."

Xie Qingzhi's brow was already stained with a hint of anger, and she looked at Lin Qi with a hint of impatience. She tried to kick him, but failed to move him away. Xie Qingzhi looked at Zhongfeng with a cold tone, "Drag him away from me, he's in the way."

Chongfeng immediately stepped forward, grabbed Lin Qi by the back of his collar and took him aside.

Lin Qi still wanted to struggle, but Chongfeng easily controlled him like lifting a chicken.

Just when Xie Qingzhi was about to lift the curtain for the second time, the curtain was lifted first, and a lady appeared in front of Xie Qingzhi. The lady used her body to block the curtain, and her eyes showed uncontrollable panic, fearing that Xie Qingzhi would see something.

"I'm honored to meet you. Please give way. My father fell down in the field and was seriously injured. I need to ask a doctor to treat him. If we delay any longer, his condition will become serious." Mother Lin's voice was nervous, and her fingers were tightly gripping the car curtain.

"This is a matter of life and death. If you keep stopping me, what if something goes wrong?"

"Or we can leave our son here and have them call a doctor to treat him first."

Xie Qingzhi listened to the chattering voices without rebutting. She continued, following Mother Lin's words, "It's so serious. It would take time to get a doctor. Why don't I get a royal physician to take a look at you?"

"My father is just an ordinary man. Why should we trouble you to find a doctor for us? We can just go and ask a doctor to take a look." Mother Lin felt her throat dry after explaining.

I must have not checked the almanac before going out, as I actually ran into the plague god ***.

"No doctor can be as good as the imperial physician. I am best at helping others. Chongfeng, go to the Imperial Hospital and inform those imperial physicians to follow them to see the old man. Otherwise, they will say that I am blocking their way and delaying the treatment of their relatives, and I will be held responsible if someone dies." Xie Qingzhi kept his eyes on Lin's mother.

Mother Lin's forehead was covered with a fine layer of cold sweat. "There's really no need to trouble you, sir. There's a famous doctor in East Lane with good medical skills. We can just take him out of the city. Mobilizing so many imperial physicians will only delay things if the Empress or the ministers in the palace have a headache or fever."

"I would like to thank you for your kindness on behalf of my father."

"You don't have to be so polite with me." Xie Qingzhi stood in front of the carriage relentlessly.

Just as Lin's mother was about to say something, the pain in her arm made her scream. Just as she raised her hand to hit inside, she suddenly remembered that Xie Qingzhi was there, and quickly stopped her hand.

"What happened?" Xie Qingzhi asked slowly.

Mother Lin rubbed her painful arm against her lower back and said, "It's nothing serious. I work hard all year round and my arm just cramped up."

As soon as Lin's mother finished speaking, the sound of knocking on the carriage wall was heard again.

This time, Xie Qingzhi's attention was completely drawn. "Is there anyone else in the carriage?"

"No, I accidentally bumped into the box in the carriage and made the noise." Mother Lin quickly turned her eyes away with guilt.

Xie Qingzhi glanced at Xia Zhi.

Xia Zhi immediately stepped forward and pulled Lin's mother out of the carriage. Lin's mother wanted to struggle, but she was no match for the strength of Xia Zhi and the other two maids. Xia Zhi forced Lin's mother to kneel in front of the carriage.

Xie Qingzhi stepped forward again and lifted the curtain with a whip. She saw a little girl sitting in the carriage. The little girl was tied up, with a worn rag stuffed in her mouth. She was wearing a pink dress. Although her face looked a little disheveled, it was not difficult to tell that she had put on exquisite makeup before. Her wet eyes stared at her in horror like a frightened deer.

The little girl has a teardrop mole at the corner of her eye, and when her eyes are watery, she gives people a feeling of wanting to connect with her. She is really pitiful. No wonder the mother and son want to send her to the residence of the Chief Censor as a concubine.

The Chief Censor is truly blessed.

Now is not the time to think about these things.

"Didn't you say there was no one in the carriage? What is this?" Xie Qingzhi pointed at the little girl and asked sternly.

"Or are you human traffickers who kidnapped people out of the city and sold them? Unexpectedly, you bumped into me in a hurry and exposed your whereabouts." Xie Qingzhi clearly heard the truth from Gu Jianchu's inner voice, but pretended not to know.

Lin's mother and Lin Qi shook their heads repeatedly, "No, absolutely not, we are definitely not human traffickers."

Mother Lin quickly came up with an idea and explained, "This is my daughter. I found a match for her some time ago. The family background is excellent and the man is also very good. But this unfilial girl fell in love with the thug in the alley and refused the match I helped her find. I was afraid that my daughter would go astray, so I thought of using this method to marry him off. After they get married, they can get to know each other for a few days. I did all this for my daughter's own good."

Xie Qingzhi tapped the whip in his hand and looked at Lin's mother with a meaningful look, "I don't even know which of your words are true and which are false. Just now you said you were going to treat a sick family member, and now you say you are marrying off your daughter. I think you are clearly human traffickers. Otherwise, you should ask the Dali Temple to come and take the person back for a proper trial."
