Qingyun's Love: Tiger Boy Falls in Love with a Pretty Lawyer

The first battle was a victory. Although Ranmo and Qingsheng were still feeling a little heavy-hearted, their confidence and fighting spirit were strengthened. They would stand up and help solve any injustice they encountered.

"Are you serious about getting into this business?" Qingsheng, with his vast experience, knew that being a lawyer wasn't easy. Of course, understanding legal strategy was still very useful.

If he became a general in the future, he might keep Ranmo by his side, as a military aide or deputy, or even occasionally sleep with him...

As he was thinking, without waiting for Ran Mo to say anything, he started giggling foolishly.

Ran Mo looked at him in confusion, "Is being a lawyer funny?"

"Ah, no, no," Qingsheng explained hurriedly, "It's an honor to be a lawyer. If you become a lawyer, I will be your little follower." As he said this, he made a naive look.

Ranmo pondered. Lawyers have always been a controversial profession. Deng Xi, the forerunner of legal practice, vigorously promoted the rule of law and advocated for litigation. Yet, he was accused of "admiring bizarre theories and ornate rhetoric," "using ambiguous arguments and endless rhetoric." His story of the corpse redemption paradox is even more well-known. His ultimate fate was tragic.

This criticism still exists in the modern legal system. If you really want to do something, you must have firm convictions and not be hesitant or timid.

Thinking of this, Ran Mo said with a determined look, "I like to study and apply the law. Being a lawyer is my true wish."

"That's good." Qingsheng then mentioned that it was only when he met Li that he discovered the problem. There are still many things that cannot be seen. How can we touch them? We can't just rely on encountering them, right?

Ran Mo thought to himself, "You're quite good, you've even figured out how to attract cases. It would be a shame if you didn't go to modern times and become a case lawyer."

In ancient times, knights often solved problems when they encountered them. If a lawyer were to handle a case, he would have to be proactive in looking for business.

Qingsheng suggested, "How about we set up a stall in the center of town? Many lawyers in the city do that. With so many people coming and going, there's bound to be people asking questions."

He was too embarrassed to mention that the big lawyers in the city all had special buildings to receive guests, while lawyers who were just starting out or not well-off would set up stalls on the streets or hire people to walk around and shout their calls.

"That's certainly one possible approach. I just don't know if practicing as a lawyer in Dayue Country requires a government-issued certificate."

"If you are only doing daily affairs, then this is not necessary. A thorough reading and understanding of the law is paramount."

Ran Mo still had another concern, "I'm shy by nature, and I'm afraid I'd feel embarrassed facing those villagers and merchants."

"You're still shy?" Qingsheng blurted out. Seeing Ranmo's face darken, he quickly said, "I mean, you're a young man, there's no need to be as shy as a girl." Qingsheng breathed a sigh of relief. I'm so smart.

Ran Mo recalled that in that life, there were many talented lawyers in the legal profession. They had high theoretical and case handling skills, but they were too embarrassed to solicit business, and dared not make unrealistic promises. As a result, they often faced the dilemma of having no food to eat, and their income was very low. Even the clerks in the firm looked down on them.

Seeing she was still hesitating, Qingsheng patted his chest and said, "Don't worry, it's settled. I can help you with the arrangements and even deal with those guys who come with bad intentions. Let's practice how to talk to them politely and appropriately."

Ran Mo felt relieved, but looked at Qing Sheng in confusion.

"Come, sit down, face me, and look into my eyes." Qingsheng gently pressed her down on the stone bench. He then pulled a wooden stool over and sat opposite her.

Ran Mo was a little hesitant to look him in the face. Qing Sheng simply took her hand, placed it on his knee, and held it with both hands flat on his chest. This gesture made it seem like they were having a heart-to-heart talk.

After he was ready, he said, "I have a question that I'm not sure about, and I'd like to ask you to explain it. If my parents die without a will, how should their property be divided?"

Ran Mo blinked and said, "Well, whether to split up the family depends on the wishes of all parties, and the division of property depends on the status of legitimate and illegitimate children and the seniority of the family." The distribution of inheritance in ancient times was very different from modern regulations.

Qingsheng nodded and asked, "Suppose this young man falls in love with a woman, but his parents disagree and threaten to leave him no property and even sever their father-son relationship. Is this legal?"

This question was a bit tricky. Ran Mo stammered, "Well, it doesn't quite fit, does it? Not necessarily..."

Qingsheng made a dissatisfied expression and scratched her nose with his finger. "Looks like I need to continue familiarizing myself with the law."

Ran Mo lowered her head shyly. Qing Sheng asked again, "So, what do you think this young master should do?"

Ran Mo was a little confused. Was this still a legal issue? "I should try to discuss this with my parents and strive for a happy ending."

"What if the negotiation fails?" Qingsheng asked with a fixed gaze.

"That depends on his choice. If it's true love, even if the love is separated by mountains and seas, the mountains and seas can be leveled." She quoted that popular saying at the right time.

Qingsheng listened to her words and seemed to be thinking deeply about it. After a moment, he nodded slightly and looked at her with a look of neither joy nor displeasure.

Ranmo suddenly realized they were too close. Qingsheng's face was almost touching hers. His slender jade fingers gripped her delicate little hand tightly.

Not to mention, they sat facing each other with their knees bent, Qingsheng's two thick thighs sandwiching her thin legs. There was no escape.

Ran Mo wanted to avoid him, but suddenly a bold and shameful idea popped up in her mind. She had the urge to jump up and straddle his thighs, then twist his head and rub it, and then take a big bite of his face.

Oh my god, what kind of crazy idea is this? It's playful, funny, and ambiguous. This is bad. This can't be done. She still hopes that she can be consistent in her appearance and not end up like in her last life, where the man is not compatible and the woman is not interested, and she gets neither side. It's so embarrassing.

She secretly encouraged herself: "Don't forget, you're a lady who's been temporarily enclosed. Be reserved! Do you understand? Don't act like a slut." Even though her reserve had hurt her deeply in her past life, anyone who came to her door was driven away by her cold aura.

Seeing her in a daze again, Qingsheng waved his hand in front of her face and scolded her like a teacher: "Hey, hey, you didn't answer properly. Where did your mind go again?"

Ran Mo came back to his senses, his face slightly burning as he said, "Okay, stop messing around, let's think about how to do it."

Qingsheng seconded the motion. The two discussed how to set up the stall and whether to put up a sign.

They got down to business. They returned home and began preparing. Qingsheng didn't want to bother Ranmo's family, so he got a table and chairs from a friend and even had a custom-made banner with the words "Written on Behalf of You" written on it. They didn't want to make a big deal out of it.

They chose a sunny day and set up their stall. They didn't dare venture out to crowded places, nor did they venture near their homes or schools. Instead, they quietly set up shop in a clearing nestled in a small wooded area not far from the town center. It was a quiet spot amidst the bustle, with people passing by from time to time. It felt a bit like a street garden.

Passersby looked at them and their stall curiously. Most of them lingered on the two of them. Especially the women and girls passing by, their eyes seemed welded to Qingsheng.

No wonder, Qingsheng was wearing an elegant light purple robe, a jade belt, and an exquisite crown. He had handsome features and a dignified demeanor. It was hard not to notice his overwhelming nobility, and people were almost about to throw fruit at him.

Ranmo thought, is he here to support me or to be a model? With him by my side, I felt more at ease.

There was a man walking around for a long time, hesitant to speak.

Seeing that there was something going on, Qingsheng took the initiative to greet him, "Big Brother, is there anything I need to ask you?"

The man hesitated for a long time before finally saying, "Do you want money for asking for help?"

This guy is quite practical. Ran Mo smiled and said, "You are the first customer today. Let's see how the answer goes. If you think it's okay, you can give me a few cents." She thought it would be better to get used to the business development first, and then consider the cost.

The man nodded slightly and stepped forward, saying, "I'm from the countryside. I have something to ask you, young man. At the beginning of the year, Old Man Li from my village lent me ten taels of silver to raise cattle, and we agreed to pay it back in the middle of the year. Since then, I've invested all my money in the cattle farm, and money is a bit tight, so I thought of using a calf to pay off the debt." Both parties agreed.

Unexpectedly, the city imposed a massive livestock levy this year, and the cattle market has become extremely tight. I'm sure my calf will fetch a good price if I raise it. So, I decided it would be better to repay Old Man Li with the silver. Using the calf as payment would be a huge disadvantage. But Old Man Li, knowing the market is good this year, insisted on the calf. He even threatened to sue the authorities if I didn't give it to him.

I'm not a greedy or dishonest person, but the current deal is indeed a bit unfair. "Counselor, is there any way you can help me?"

While he was speaking, Ran Mo did not interrupt him, but listened and analyzed quietly.

After he finished speaking, Ranmo noticed Qingsheng standing nearby, gesturing with his hands and about to say something. She could guess, given Qingsheng's fiery temper, that he was definitely going to reprimand the man for his dishonesty, so she quickly tugged at his sleeve, signaling him to calm down.

Ran Mo straightened his sitting posture and asked, "Did you sign an agreement with him?"

The man replied, "When I borrowed the money, I wrote a note stating the interest and the term, but it didn't mention the calf."

Ranmo had a general understanding of the case. According to the civil law he had studied, there was a principle of changed circumstances. This principle states that if, during the performance of an agreement, an unforeseen major event or change occurs, it would be manifestly unfair to continue to perform, and a request could be made to modify the performance conditions or terminate the agreement. However, the Great Moon Kingdom probably didn't have such advanced legislative concepts.

Seeing Ranmo frowning in thought, Qingsheng thought she was stumped, so he laughed and said, "You'd better discuss this matter with Old Man Li. It's better to resolve a feud than to create one."

The first half of his sentence was fine, but the second half directly made him look like an enemy. The man glanced at him, smiled awkwardly, and said, "I'm just afraid Old Man Li won't agree. I've asked him many times but it's no use."

Qingsheng was at a loss and turned his gaze to Ranmo.
