My eunuch An is a yandere

Chapter 144: Arresting the Concubine

"Inviting you to dinner is a favor to you?"

Bai Ningwei laughed, thinking that An Jiu was too easily satisfied emotionally.

"I don't object to you being nicer to me."

"for example?"

Bai Ningwei raised her eyes to look at him, waiting for him to state a specific request.

Anjiu stroked his chin and thought carefully, with an extremely serious and focused look between his eyebrows, as if he had to come up with something so as not to miss this rare opportunity.

After thinking for a moment, he spoke with a tenderness that belonged only to her.

"Like you should kiss me every day."

He is really good at trying to please others. Bai Ningwei hooked her hands around his collar, applied a little downward force, then stood on tiptoes, tilted her head back and kissed him.

"as you wish."

The unfinished words were swallowed between the lips and teeth.

Anjiu ran his fingers through her hair, holding the back of the woman's neck, and with his other hand protecting her slender waist and back, cherishing and reverently kissing her, surrendering his body and mind to her.

The sunlight shines through the tiles, like a layer of gauze woven with golden threads, wrapping around the two kissing people. Time seems to have stopped for them at this moment.

.

On an ordinary morning, the drum outside the Jingzhao Yin Mansion was struck loudly.

The yamen runner holding a killing stick glared at the man beating the drum and shouted.

"Who beats the drum to complain? First receive twenty lashes of the cane."

There is a slight difference between reporting to the emperor and suing others. Citizens will be punished if they report officials or rich people, but they don't have to do that if they report to other people. However, they will be punished if they beat the drum.

The man beating the drum had a pointed face, a cunning expression, and a flattering smile.

"Don't be impatient, sir. Wait until I have read the protection law before I speak of my grievances."

When the yamen runner heard this, he knew that the other party was well prepared, so he couldn't show off his power anymore. He went to the back hall to call Lord Li and the legal advisor.

The Protection Act consisted of eleven articles, six or seven hundred words in total, written in traditional Chinese characters. The man, seemingly a scoundrel from a gang, unexpectedly read every word correctly.

"What grievance do you have?"

Lord Li had no other choice. Since the other party could read, he could only spare the killing blow and get straight to the point.

"I, the humble man Zhang San, am suing the current imperial consort Cui Sanlang for keeping a mistress and favoring his concubine over his wife."

Lord Li, who was in the court, was paralyzed. The new law had just come out, and he never expected that the first person to be punished would be the son-in-law.

It was like a fight between gods and demons, and the little devils suffered. Lord Li immediately waved his hand behind him and told someone to quickly send a message to Cui Fu Ma, but he must not be caught and brought to court. No one dared to get involved in the affairs of the royal family.

This Prince Consort Cui is also a strange man. Ever since he was frightened and drugged by Xiao Yuan'er, becoming completely impotent, he completely broke off relations with Xiao Yuan'er for the sake of face, refused to return to the princess's mansion, and even openly kept a mistress outside.

He searched for a miracle doctor every day and vowed to find a way to have a child to prove that he was still a man.

Unexpectedly, just after the Chinese New Year, new laws were introduced. Prince Consort Cui knew that Xiao Yuan'er would not miss the opportunity to deal with him, so he hid back in the Cui Mansion overnight.

It has to be said that Cui Sanlang is self-aware. The person who beat the drum to report the incident today was the one Xiao Yuaner had invited.

So it is impossible for Lord Li to escape.

The yamen officers found the concubine's home based on the address Zhang San provided. They made a lot of noise along the way, deliberately shouting about which house in which alley.

At this moment, the concubine had heard that people from the government office would come to arrest someone soon, and she was as panicked as an ant on a hot pan.

She wasn't attracted to Cui Sanlang; she was after his family background and wealth. She'd considered running away since the new law came out, but she felt she hadn't made enough money, so she hoped to get some more from the Cui family before leaving.

Now she regretted it so much that she could only hurriedly pack up some valuables that she could take away and plan to escape before the yamen runners arrived.

Unfortunately, she was blocked by a group of thugs as soon as she stepped out of the courtyard.

"Hey, isn't this the concubine that Prince Consort Cui kept? Where are you going with all that baggage? Do you need a ride from us?"

The concubine's face turned pale with fear and she retreated back to the yard, pacing around it.

She wanted to climb over the wall, so she put up a ladder, but she found that there were also hooligans outside the wall who were dressed in shabby clothes and had their breasts exposed.

Now she knew she was doomed and there was no way she could escape.

When Lord Li saw the concubine being brought into the hall, he glared at the yamen runner who was taking the person. What should he do? He really brought the person back.

The four yamen runners also had their troubles. The courtyard outside the outer chamber was crowded with onlookers. Upon seeing the officials, for once, they didn't scatter and hide like birds and beasts. Instead, they actively came forward to assure them that the people hadn't escaped, that they were keeping a close eye on them, and that they would definitely make the yamen runners deliver their mission.

It seems like they will get money if they help.

In the hall, the gavel was banged, and Lord Li asked the beautiful woman with a bun in the hall.

"Who is this person in the hall? Is it Prince Consort Cui's mistress? I advise you to think carefully before you speak. If you make false accusations against others, you will be sentenced."

The mistress was full of calculations, but she also pretended to be a lady from a noble family and never left the house. She had no idea what the outside world was like, and she only cared about how to please men.

So not only did she not know about the new law, she was also wondering if Lord Li, the Jingzhao Yin, would be afraid and not dare to scold her if she lied about being pregnant.

"I don't know what a prince consort is. I only know that my husband's surname is Cui, and he is the third child in the family. Everyone in the family calls him Sanlang."

"That's it. Cui Sanlang is the son-in-law, and the son-in-law is Cui Sanlang."

Someone in the crowd shouted loudly.

Lord Li was furious.

"You are such a bold and unruly person. Who said that? You know nothing. What ignorant words are you saying?"

"I didn't say that. The nobleman in the private room said that."

After hearing this, Lord Li felt his temples throbbing.

Since the emergence of female city patrols in the capital, not only have there been more women walking around the streets, but more and more ladies from aristocratic families have been going out.

The smart one immediately suggested the women's private room.

There happened to be a restaurant opposite Jingzhao Yin's house. At this moment, there were several noble ladies sitting in the private room, listening to the fun and waiting to take the first bite of the fresh melon.

The woman in the most luxurious clothes covered her face with a fan, looked at the direction of the yamen, and said with a smile.

"If Lord Li can really sentence Consort Cui, there will be a lot of excitement to watch from now on."

"That's right. If he really gets sentenced, I'll definitely have someone bring my kid over and give him a beating."

"Just brag all you want. If someone comes to mention your husband, I'm afraid you'll be the first one to ask for mercy."

"Hmph, then I can go back and send those bitches away. No one will say anything anymore, right?"

They were all the principal wives. If Prince Consort Cui was sentenced, they would have a ready-made excuse to deal with the slutty women in their families. Although they seemed to be joking, they were actually watching across the street, waiting for the final result.

At this time, someone was shouting downstairs.

"Here he comes, here he comes, Prince Consort Cui is here."
