In the early stages of a relationship, there's usually a friendly meeting, a polite farewell, and an appointment to meet again. But once two people become truly close, they can't wait to be together all day, unwilling to be apart for even a moment.

This is the situation Ranmo and Qingsheng are in right now. The situation seems to be developing a bit too quickly.

That day, Ranmo had only said he would see him off, and that farewell lasted until the moon rose above the willows. They were in high spirits and went for an outing in the countryside. They had wanted to bring Weihua along, but unfortunately, she wasn't there. The sky was a little overcast, but thankfully, it didn't rain.

Ranmo really likes this cool and comfortable overcast day. It gives him a sense of vastness and remoteness. The sun in Dayue Kingdom is not easy to bear.

Flowers are red and willows are green, and the fragrance is pleasant. In ancient times, the climate and environment were still a very pure natural world.

It’s nothing like the scenery and sets in some costume dramas which look very “fake” at first glance. It’s not that the trees and flowers are fake, but the colors and shapes are obviously not the original ancient scenery. They were just hastily filmed in a polluted environment.

Appreciating and absorbing the scenery and air here can truly nourish the heart and cleanse the lungs.

During this intimate outing meeting between the two, through friendly consultation and broad-minded thinking, the two sides reached a major consensus.

When talking about the incident in the Zhao family where the man beat his wife, Ran Mo sighed, "I don't know if he can truly repent. I'm afraid he will take his anger out on his wife."

"Don't expect him to correct his mistakes as soon as he realizes them. Once a man develops a bad habit, it's like cloth being dyed with paint. It's difficult to..." Qingsheng paused here and looked at Ranmo embarrassedly.

Ran Mo knew he was worried this analogy might inadvertently offend her name. She smiled magnanimously, indicating it didn't matter. He had no idea of ​​the troubles she'd endured because of her name. She'd long since let it go.

She was more curious about, "As a man, isn't it not nice to talk down on men like this?"

Qingsheng remained silent. It seemed as if some unpleasant memory had been brought back to him. His slightly melancholic demeanor and gaze only attracted Ranmo even more.

"I'm not targeting the person, but the matter. To deal with a reckless man like that, I could have reported him to the police, or found a good lawyer for his wife to use the power of the law to deter him. I don't know if there are any lawyers operating in this town, but there are quite a few in Dayue City, but unfortunately they're too far away." Qingsheng was silent for a moment and then started talking again.

Hearing him talk about lawyers, Ranmo couldn't help but be moved. She almost became a big name in the legal profession, and her major in ancient Chinese legal history was also in school.

She didn't yet understand the specifics of Dayue's legal system, but some legal concepts were likely common. If she used her strengths to study the current laws, she might actually achieve something remarkable.

The teachings of the sages that she was learning over and over again in the academy were quite pedantic. She might as well take the time to learn some more practical skills.

Faced with this bold idea, she couldn't hide her excitement and her small body trembled slightly.

Qingsheng noticed the change in her expression and asked with concern, "Are you cold? I'll take off my coat and let you wear it." As he said that, he began to undress.

"Ah, no, no, I'm just a little angry. We can't tolerate those guys. Someone really needs to step up and take care of the injustices in this world."

"On the battlefield, there are generals to defend against the enemy, and among the people, there are judges and lawyers to uphold justice. Only through such cooperation can we achieve long-term stability." Qingsheng's words were quite insightful.

"That's right! Does the Dayue Kingdom have female generals and female lawyers?" Ran Mo asked casually.

"Hmm?" Qingsheng scratched his head and said, "Although our country has strong protections for women, men have always been in charge of external affairs. I've never heard of female generals or female lawyers."

Hearing this, Ran Mo couldn't help but feel a little disappointed. Then she thought, she was still dressed as a man, so at worst, she could just keep it that way while working as a lawyer. She'd have to spend some time there.

"Are you asking this on behalf of Weihua?"

"Just asking. You seem to care about her quite a bit." Ran Mo said lightly.

Qingsheng said casually, "How can I not care about the sister of the person I care about?" After saying that, he quickly glanced at Ranmo.

Ran Mo's heart felt like it was being struck by a wave of intense affection. What kind of corny love talk was this? It was so subtle, leaving her completely powerless to refute it.

Qingsheng's expression was a bit strange. He changed the subject again and asked, "Could it be that you are interested in law and want to become a young lawyer?"

"Why not? I haven't liked reading those sage books since I was young, but I can learn more about laws to punish evil and promote good. If combined with your skills, both civil and military, there is no need to worry about not achieving great things." Ran Mo let go of his temper and boasted, not forgetting to flatter the people around him.

"Hahaha." Qingsheng laughed heartily, then said slyly, "Since you're so ambitious, how about I ask you a legal question to test your aptitude?"

Ran Mo curled his lips. "Is this a problem for me?" Even a lawyer can make up a few words even if he doesn't understand something. "Come on, come on."

"Okay. It's a rather troubling question, and a little hard to bring up." Qingsheng blushed. Having already spoken, he continued.

"Once upon a time, there was an official who married a concubine named Fang. This concubine also had a daughter, the child of her deceased ex-husband. A few years later, the concubine died. The daughter also grew up. For some unknown reason, the official cruelly sent her out of the house and severed all ties with her.

A few years later, the master married a new concubine. But no one in the mansion expected that this concubine was actually the daughter who disappeared a few years ago!

Upon hearing this reversal, Ranmo's scalp tightened. You, the seemingly righteous Qingsheng, actually talked about such shameless gossip. If it weren't for the fact that you're Qingsheng, I'd really think you were a big whipping boy.

Qingsheng's face was flushed at this moment, not because of embarrassment, but because of anger.

Ran Mo remained silent for a moment. She had seen all sorts of bizarre legal issues before, including this one. It was just that it felt awkward coming from Qing Sheng, or perhaps there was something hidden behind it.

Qing Sheng continued, "The question I want to ask is, facing this new concubine, should the young master in the mansion call her concubine, or should he call her sister as he did in the past?"

Hearing this, Ranmo couldn't hold it in any longer. There was a joke going around online about the complex relationships within a large family, with their intertwined marriages and perverse ethics, and how they kept getting confused about how to address each other. I'd thought it was ridiculous, but I didn't expect to hear it firsthand from the ancients.

Ran Mo patiently asked, "Are you done? I want to ask first, is this just a random thought or is it true?"

"Please note, candidate, I am testing you now, not you asking me a question." Qingsheng said with a hint of dominance.

"Very good, examiner. Although the questions are a bit strange, I will answer them.

Here we must first clarify whether the master's marriage to the daughter of his former concubine is in accordance with the law. If the law allows two people who are not related by blood to be together after dissolving the fictitious relationship, then his son may have to change his address to "Auntie".

If the law doesn't allow for dissolving the relationship, then not only will you not have to change your name, but you can also bring this old man to justice!"

Ran Mo finished her answer in one breath, wiping the sweat from her forehead. It wasn't a hot day. The question was indeed a bit tricky. Her answer was full of improvisation.

"Well said! He should be brought to justice!" Qingsheng clapped his hands and exclaimed. Then he asked, "Do you think the laws of Dayue Kingdom allow such unethical behavior?"

"I really don't know." Ran Mo really didn't dare to make up a story. "You are well-informed. Haven't you asked those famous lawyers in the capital?"

"I asked, and they originally said no. But when they heard that this gentleman was from a prominent official family, they immediately changed their tune, saying that there is no explicit regulation in the law and suggested reconciliation and resolution on their own. It's pure nonsense." Qingsheng said angrily.

"This is really a bit tricky. It seems that I have to study the law more in the future, otherwise, it will be really embarrassing." Ran Mo was a little incoherent.

"Okay, let's not talk about these annoying things. I wish Young Master Ranmo will become a great lawyer soon." Qingsheng smiled again. His eyes were full of determination.

Ranmo felt like a little white rabbit in his presence. Her mother had said that before she gave birth, as soon as the sky brightened, a little rabbit jumped into her arms and then gave birth to her. She wondered if it was the little rabbit from the Moon Palace who had come down to earth.

The little white rabbit descends to earth, his fate uncertain. He wonders whether he will encounter a carrot or a tiger cub.
