Qingluan stood behind Yan Qing and said, "Madam, Madam Li is not talking nonsense. According to the laws of Dayong, if a man who has a wife refuses to marry will be sentenced to one year in prison, and the woman's family will be reduced by one level. If someone marries someone by deception, he will be sentenced to one and a half years in prison... Madam, you should think it over before you speak."

"Yeah!"

Li Ma'am burst into tears: "This is what the Second Young Lady said..."

Mrs. Jane scoffed.

Just as she was about to speak, she saw Yan Qing's calm and composed expression, as if he was confident in what he had done. Her heart skipped a beat and her face was filled with uncertainty.

At this time, a scholar in the crowd nodded and said, "Yes, there is indeed such a clause in the Household and Marriage Law of the Yong Dynasty..."

"So Minister Yan broke the law?"

"If even the most honest and upright officials know the law but break it, how can we ordinary people survive?"

"Everyone, let's go sue Yan Junyuan for divorcing his wife and remarrying!"

"That's right, if an official breaks the law, he can't live like this!"

"Let's go! Isn't this woman trying to chase us away? Let's go to the prefect! Let's go to the Dali Temple!"

The people suddenly started to make a fuss and threatened to sue Yan Junyuan.

This scared Mrs. Jane!

She was just the daughter of a country scholar. Although she could read and write a few words, she was not familiar with the laws of Dayong.

I thought Yan Qing was deliberately trying to scare her, but I didn't expect it to be true?

Seeing that those people were really about to leave and head towards the Dali Temple, Mrs. Zhen immediately exclaimed: "No!"

Those people looked back with frowns.

Madam Zhen said timidly, "Do you know who my master is? Are you going to sue him?"

"The emperor breaks the law and the common people are equally guilty!"

"Yes, stop being so unreasonable!"

"Let's go write a petition!"

Unexpectedly, the three men did not give Madam Zhen any face at all, nor were they afraid of offending Yan Junyuan, the Minister of Revenue.

Yan Qing couldn't help but take a few more glances.

I didn't expect that Luzhi could find such three capable people. Every word she said hit Mrs. Zhen in the throat, but she couldn't help but get angry.

Seeing that they were about to go to the Dali Temple again, Madam Zhen panicked and ran down the stone steps to stop the three people without caring about anything: "My master has not violated the law, you can't sue him."

"Divorcing your wife and remarrying is against the law!"

"presumptuous!"

A cold voice suddenly sounded.

Everyone turned around and saw Yan Qing breaking through the crowd and coming. She stood in front of the three people with her elegant appearance. She said coldly: "My father is the Minister of the current dynasty. How could he knowingly break the law? And it is even more impossible for him to divorce his wife and remarry!"

"Yeah."

Mrs. Jane was already panicking.

At this moment, Yan Qing came out to defend Yan Junyuan, and she subconsciously echoed: "My master did not divorce his wife and remarry!"

"You didn't divorce your wife and remarry?"

One of the three suddenly turned around and looked at Madam Jane: "What is that, Madam?"

Mrs. Jane: “I…”

The man said, "You just said that Lord Yan and you had worshipped heaven and earth, and you are Lord Yan's wife, but as far as we know, Lord Yan's legitimate wife is Miss Ye Xiruo of the General's Mansion!"

"That's right, if what you said is true, then Yan Junyuan is really hateful!"

"Don't worry, ma'am. We'll go get justice for you right away!"

The three of them were full of righteousness and looked like they were going to make the decision for Madam Zhen.

Mrs. Jane was so anxious that she was furious.

Who wants these rough men to seek justice? If they are really sent to the Dali Temple, I am afraid that my official position will be lost!

"Qing'er, think of a solution quickly..."

In the critical moment, Mrs. Zhen had to look to Yan Qing for help.

After all, she is Ye Xiruo's daughter and the granddaughter of General Ye. As long as she speaks, who would dare to sue the master?

Yan Qing was waiting for this moment.

She frowned slightly and sighed with a look of worry, "If it weren't for my wife's rash words, saying that she was my father's wife in front of outsiders, this wouldn't have happened. I'm afraid that my father would not only lose his job, but his life..."

Madam Zhen's face turned pale: "Then, then you should quickly go to the General's Mansion to invite..."

Yan Qing shook his head: "It's too late..."

"What should I do?"

"The person who tied the bell must untie it. The only solution now is for Madam to explain things clearly to everyone..."

Mrs. Jane was stunned for a moment.

She seemed to understand, but she didn't seem to understand.

Although Yan Qing was the legitimate daughter of the Yan family, because Ye Xiruo had retreated to the backyard and didn't care about things, the master didn't love her, so Yan Qing had developed a cowardly and tongue-tied character since she was a child. Although she was a little clever, she never dared to show off in front of Ye Xiruo. But just now...

Madam Zhen was stunned and said, "Qing'er, what do you want me to say?"

Yan Qing stared at her with his dark eyes and chuckled softly, "Of course, Madam, you just lied. You are not my father's wife, but only his concubine!"

"Om~"

Mrs. Jane's head felt like it was hit by a huge hammer.

His whole face began to tremble.

What did Yan Qing say?

Let her admit in front of everyone that she is the master's concubine? !

She is the master's original wife!

Yan Qing looked at Madam Zhen's trembling face and sighed softly, "If I don't say this, I'm afraid Father..."

At this moment, Mrs. Zhen finally realized that she had been tricked by Yan Qing.

She glared at Yan Qing and said through gritted teeth in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "So this is what you want."

"Yeah, they're leaving..."

Yan Qing seemed not to hear her words.

Madam Zhen took a deep breath, then suddenly smiled and stepped forward, saying, "You all have misunderstood. My master has never divorced or remarried. His legal wife has always been Sister Ye. Please don't ruin his reputation..."

"Then you are..."

"I am the master's concubine!"

When these words came out of her mouth, Madam Zhen stared at Yan Qing with eyes that looked as if she wanted to throw a knife out of her.

She worked hard for more than ten years and finally got the power to manage the household affairs of the Yan Mansion and won the master's unique favor. No matter inside or outside the mansion, everyone gradually forgot about the old bitch Ye Xiruo and only remembered her, Madam Yan.

But today everything was ruined by Yan Qing!

Good job Yan Qing! Good job Ye Xiruo!

It seems that the mother and daughter have been pretending all these years!

After admitting that she was a concubine, Madam Zhen could no longer stay a moment longer and returned to the Yan Mansion with a cold face and a wave of her sleeves.

He even didn't care about Lu Qiaonan.

The onlookers looked at each other in confusion.

The three people who had just targeted Mrs. Zhen also disappeared in the crowd.

Yan Qing turned around and said, "Let's go."

Qingluan immediately asked the coachman to pull the carriage over and helped Yan Qing get on it.

Just as Yan Qing stepped onto the footstool, a familiar voice suddenly came hurriedly: "Qingqing."

Lu Qiaonan looked at Yan Qing's back with red eyes, his voice hoarse: "Qingqing, I was wrong!"

Yan Qing paused for a moment before getting into the car.

"Let's go."

She lowered the car curtain and didn't even glance at Lu Qiaonan the whole time.

Lu Qiaonan was devastated.

He didn't come back to his senses from that trance until the carriage passed by.

Qingqing...why are you so cold?
