When the prefect of Jingzhao heard that it was Old Lady Ye who summoned him, he ran over without even changing his shoes.

When he saw Yan Qing's face, he was instantly numb.

Why is it this ancestor again?

Yes, he opened this Jingzhao Mansion for Miss Yan Er.

The prefect, Lord Li, stepped forward and saluted. "Your humble servant greets Old Madam Ye. I wonder what instructions you have for me?"

Old Madam Ye started cursing, "That shameless Marquis Wu'an, at such an old age, actually cheated on his wife, and now he's even embezzled my daughter Qing's dowry. Lord Li...how should we sentence him?"

Marquis Wu'an was filled with questions: "When did I commit marriage fraud?"

Old Madam Ye snorted coldly: "On the night of his wedding, Lu Xiao'er slept with a bitch and forced my daughter Qing to divorce him. If this isn't a marriage fraud, what is it?"

Li interrupted, "What man doesn't have three wives and four concubines? What does it have to do with us if Yan Qing wants to divorce?"

"Three wives and four concubines?"

Old Madam Ye pointed her dragon head crook at Lu Qiaonan and asked, "Before you got married, did you swear to marry only Qing girl in your life?"

Lu Qiaonan pursed his lips tightly.

Old Madam Ye sneered: "Don't you dare admit it? Coward!"

"you you you……"

Li was furious. Her greatest pride was her son, and now he was being beaten and scolded, which was even more painful than killing her.

Li pointed at Old Madam Ye and angrily said, "What right do you have to scold my son? Don't think I won't scold you just because you're old, Old Madam Ye. If you continue to disrespect your elders..."

"Bah!"

Old Madam Ye hit Li with her cane, and Li stumbled to the ground. Old Madam Ye snarled, "I'm not only scolding your son, I'm scolding you too. How are you still alive after raising such a treacherous and unfaithful person? Don't you have any sense of shame?"

"Boom, boom, boom!"

The old lady cursed and knocked.

The beating made Li scream and cry out, and she shouted to the Jingzhao prefect beside her: "Master Li, are you not going to do anything about it?"

Lord Li is now speechless when he looks at the Wu'an Marquis family.

He said expressionlessly, "Madam Hou, this dragon-headed crutch of yours was bestowed upon me by the late emperor. Even the princes and princesses could be beaten with it, let alone you. Just bear with it, okay?"

Li immediately crawled behind Marquis Wu'an and said, "My Lord, save me."

Marquis Wu'an subconsciously reached out to grab it.

"My Lord, you can't do that!"

Lord Li immediately reminded: "This is a gift from the emperor. If you resist, you will..." Lord Li stretched out his hand and made a gesture of wiping his neck.

Marquis Wu'an's face instantly fell.

"Bah!"

Old Lady Ye hit Marquis Wu'an with her cane.

Next, Marquis Wu'an and Li were beaten by Old Lady Ye in turn.

The onlookers were stunned.

Yan Qing hadn't expected his grandmother to be so powerful. Seeing the Marquis of Wu'an and his wife being beaten without any chance to fight back, Yan Qing wanted to applaud.

"Father, mother!"

Lu Wenhuan watched his parents being beaten. He wanted to step forward, but was afraid the cane would fall on him. He looked anxiously at Lu Qiaonan and said, "Brother, why don't you take care of Yan Qing? Mom and Dad are going to be beaten to death!"

"enough!"

Lu Qiaonan's face had already turned grim when his parents were beaten. He stared at Yan Qing with gloomy eyes: "Qingqing, you've made enough trouble... bang!"

Old Lady Ye immediately gave Lu Qiaonan a crutch.

Hit him directly on the forehead.

"Sigh~"

Lord Li felt distressed when he saw this, but he immediately stepped forward and grabbed Lu Qiaonan's arm: "Sir, calm down. This old lady with a dragon-headed crutch cannot resist!"

Lu Qiaonan's face looked extremely ugly.

He had never been insulted like this before!

Qingqing passed this time!

Old Madam Ye knocked a dozen more times before she put down her cane: "Okay, it's time to talk about the girl's dowry!"

"Okay, I'll give you the dowry!"

Lu Qiaonan suddenly looked at Yan Qing with a cold face, and said word by word: "Qingqing, think about it carefully. If you want your dowry back, you will no longer be the wife of the prince of Wu'an Marquis Mansion, and I will not..."

"I can't ask for it."

Yan Qing interrupted his boasting and held out his hands: "Give it to me."

"what?"

"Dowry..."

Yan Qing was somewhat speechless, and patiently said, "Didn't Master Lu just vow to return my dowry? How come he's forgotten it now?"

Lu Qiaonan's handsome face was tense.

He was also a little annoyed at this moment.

He had done something wrong to Qingqing on their wedding day, but he had been atonement for the past few days. No matter how Qingqing treated him, he had endured it again and again. But today...

She actually watched Old Lady Ye beat his parents. Lu Qiaonan was extremely disappointed.

He looked at Yan Qing, angrily, and said in a cold voice: "Second Miss Yan, don't worry. My Wu'an Marquisate is not so poor as to seize your dowry. You can convert it into cash. No matter how much, my Marquisate will compensate you!"

"no!"

Unexpectedly, as soon as Lu Qiaonan finished speaking, Li screamed, "She has so much dowry, how can our mansion afford to compensate her? It was that little bitch Yan Tan who sold her dowry. Let Yan Tan pay for it!"

"Madam Hou——"

Lord Li stepped forward at the right moment and explained with a smile, "According to the laws of Dayong, a woman's dowry must be returned to her family after a divorce. Concubine Yan has already been brought into the mansion as a concubine, making her a member of the Marquis's residence. If she sold Second Miss Yan's dowry, it would be equivalent to the Marquis's residence selling Second Miss Yan's dowry. Therefore, Second Miss Yan's dowry really has to be returned by your mansion..."

Li immediately pounced on Yan Tan: "You bitch! You've ruined the Marquis' Mansion!"

Finally, with the intervention of Lord Li, Luzhi and Qingluan converted all the items on the dowry list into cash, and the total amount was as much as 100,000 taels!

"One hundred thousand taels?!"

Hearing this number, Li almost fainted from anger.

Thinking that Yan Tan actually gave all 100,000 taels to Madam Zhen, Li grabbed her face with both hands: "You damned spendthrift woman, that was 100,000 taels! 100,000 taels! You actually gave it all to your mother's family..."

"What one hundred thousand?"

At this point, Yan Tan had nothing to hide. Not willing to be outdone, she grabbed Li and said, "It's clearly only fifty thousand. If you pawn all your things, it would only be fifty thousand taels. You didn't even know you were cheated by Yan Qing!"

Li immediately looked at Yan Qing.

Without Yan Qing saying anything, Lord Li snorted coldly, "I've already had someone verify the items on Second Miss Yan's dowry list, and they're indeed worth a hundred thousand. Stop your nonsense!"

After saying this, Lord Li looked at Marquis Wu'an and Lu Qiaonan with dissatisfaction: "My Lord, Prince, quickly present the 100,000 taels of silver!"

The people in this marquis' mansion are really sick.

I don’t know why, but they all want to fight Yan Er to the death.

They were all sent to the Jingzhao Prefecture Prison by Yan Er, and he did not stop there, causing him to suffer as well.

Return the silver to him quickly so that he can be released from office and go home!

Wu Anhou's face turned pale: "Master Li, one hundred thousand taels..."

"If you don't have it, you can use the things in the Marquis' Mansion to offset it. If it's still not enough, then write an IOU."

Yan Qing spoke gently.

Lord Li immediately made the decision: "Good idea, let's do it. Come on, help Miss Yan move her things!"
