The mind-reading coroner drove the court crazy

Before leaving, Shan Yu invited Qin Miaoxi to meet in a teahouse.

He took out a jade pendant and handed it to Qin Miaoxi, saying softly, "This is for you."

Qin Miaoxi's eyes fell on the lustrous mutton-fat jade, and she immediately declined without hesitation: "This jade is too valuable, I really can't accept it."

Shan Yu stared at her and spoke slowly, "I'm about to go back. This... let's consider it a commemoration of our acquaintance! Yes, it's a commemoration. If you encounter difficulties in the future, come to the Jie tribe to find me. If I'm not here, take this jade pendant and find any member of the Jie royal family. They will definitely help you."

Qin Miaoxi saw that he had a determined look, as if he had made some kind of decision, and she knew that with his return this time, the Jie tribe might not be able to calm down for a while.

He seemed to want to say something else, but stopped himself and laughed at himself before he opened his mouth.

[That's right, I can't even get your position as County Master, so how can I help you?]

Qin Miaoxi's heart tightened. She took the jade pendant before he reached out his hand and said gratefully, "Thank you! I will remember you as a friend."

Shan Yu's struggling expression suddenly became clear, and he looked at her with surprise and shouted: "Friend, are you willing to treat me as a friend?"

Like a bewildered child, he muttered to himself, "Okay, you are my first friend, Shan Yu."

He looked at Qin Miaoxi deeply, raised his teacup and said, "My friend, take care!"

The two of them drank their tea in one gulp and said goodbye.

Looking at Shan Yu's departing back, Qin Miaoxi suddenly became confused and overwhelmed with emotions.

When he came, he must have been full of the intention to find his relatives, but when he returned, he was alone.

[What on earth did this grandson say? He actually let Xiao Xixi stare at him for so long. What a fool.]

Qin Miaoxi: "..."

All the emotions in her heart were instantly swept away. She took a deep breath and shouted helplessly: "Come out!"

Lu Qingchen walked out with a silly smile on his face, scratched his head and said with a smile: "What a coincidence! You are here to taste tea too."

Qin Miaoxi raised her eyebrows slightly, with a hint of teasing in her tone, "Oh, are you here for tea? Then I won't disturb you, please do as you please." As she said that, she made a gesture to get up and leave.

Seeing this, Lu Qingchen hurriedly called out to her anxiously, "Don't! You're already here, let's have a drink together."

Qin Miaoxi couldn't help but twitch the corners of her mouth, thinking, he treats this place as a pub and even has a drink here, how casual he is.

However, she still slowly sat down opposite Lu Qingchen.

At this time, Lu Qingchen said excitedly, "I have already reported our wedding date to the emperor a long time ago, but I have been waiting for a long time and still have not received a reply. I don't know what the emperor is thinking. The marriage has already been granted, so why doesn't he agree to this marriage?"

Qin Miaoxi frowned when she heard this and asked, "So, based on this, we can't get married by the end of the month?"

Lu Qingchen quickly shook her head like a rattle and denied it, "That's impossible! I've already asked the people at the Imperial Observatory to carefully calculate it, and the date they calculated is that day. Regardless of whether the emperor agrees or not, we will get married on that day. I just think it's a pity that the title of county lady hasn't been passed down to you yet. Otherwise, it would be a double blessing."

A hint of teasing flashed across Qin Miaoxi's eyes for a moment, and then she deliberately put on a stern face and said solemnly, "What's the matter? You mean you think marrying a county lady is more prestigious, and someone like me is not presentable?"

Upon hearing this, Lu Qingchen immediately became anxious and hurriedly explained, "Of course that's not what I meant! I was just angry at the emperor. He had already promised something, but he didn't keep his promise at all. Think about it, if it weren't for him, I would never have dragged you into investigating that case together."

You have to know that at that time Qin Miaoxi was carrying the heavy responsibility of whether the two countries would go to war. If this matter was not handled properly, it would be the fuse that triggered a war between the two countries, and she would become a sinner of the Longyuan Kingdom. The pressure she was under at that time was not something that ordinary people could compare to.

Fortunately, after going through numerous hardships, the case was finally solved, but in the end, nothing good was gained. When Lu Qingchen thought of this, he felt unwilling for Qin Miaoxi.

Qin Miaoxi looked at Lu Qingchen with amusement, her eyes revealing a hint of meaning, and said softly: "Don't worry, the imperial edict of canonization will come down soon."

After hearing this, Lu Qingchen blinked blankly, looking confused. He really didn't understand what she meant. He was wondering how she knew that the imperial edict would come down soon?

On this day, a woman came to Qin Miaoxi's paper-making shop. She was dressed in gorgeous clothes, but it couldn't hide the air of a prostitute.

"What are you buying?" Qin Miaoxi had just opened her mouth to ask when she saw the woman groaning and pacing around the yard, pinching her nose. She picked up this and that, looked at them, then threw them away with a look of disgust on her face, muttering, "What kind of a hellish place is this? How can an unmarried woman do such an unlucky thing?"

The smile on Qin Miaoxi's face disappeared instantly. She looked at the person coldly and decided in her heart that this person must have bad intentions.

After looking at the paper-making shop, the woman turned her gaze to Qin Miaoxi, her eyes full of criticism as she looked her up and down. "With a girl like you, you dare to dream of marrying into our mansion? Look at your seductive appearance, you don't look like a girl from a good family."

Qin Miaoxi stared back coldly, "Who are you anyway? It's not your place to tell me what to do."

The woman looked arrogant and raised her head and said, "I am your mother-in-law. Do you think I can control you?"

Qin Miaoxi was stunned at first, but soon an idea came to her mind and she thought, could this be the concubine of Lu Qingchen's father?

She immediately retorted, "My husband's family belongs to the Marquis of Xuanping. I've only heard that the Marquis of Xuanping has a father who is a commoner and that his mother has long since passed away. Are you, a mother-in-law who just appeared out of nowhere, trying to deceive me? Get out of here right now!"

"You bitch, you actually dared to contradict your mother-in-law. You really have the guts!"

The woman's eyes widened in anger, she shouted, raised her hand and slapped Qin Miaoxi's pink cheek hard.

At this critical moment, a black shadow suddenly flashed by like a ghost.

There was a dull "bang" sound, and the originally arrogant woman suddenly fell to the ground like a kite with a broken string. Her originally fair face was instantly imprinted with a glaring blood-red five-finger mark.

Zi Yan suddenly appeared in front of Qin Miaoxi. Her cold eyes were like cold stars, staring intently at the disheveled woman on the ground. She parted her red lips and spit out two cold words: "How dare you! How dare you bully my young lady?"

The woman sat on the ground, shocked and angry. She pointed at Zi Yan and screamed, "You little bitch, how dare you attack me? Do you know who I am?"

Zi Yan simply disdained to pay attention to her. She just turned her head to look at Qin Miaoxi and asked softly, "Miss, are you okay?"

Qin Miaoxi shook her head slightly, her gaze returning to the woman. She said in a deep voice, "If you dare to act wildly here again, don't blame me for being rude. Although I don't want to argue with you, I'm definitely not someone who will allow others to bully me."

Seeing Qin Miaoxi's tough attitude and Zi Yan's protection, the woman felt unwilling but did not dare to act rashly again.

She staggered to her feet, glared at Qin Miaoxi fiercely, and said, "Just wait, this isn't over yet!"

After that, he left in a hurry.

Qin Miaoxi looked at the woman's receding back and frowned slightly. Today's incident was just the beginning. The troubles in the Marquis' Mansion were probably about to follow.

Zi Yan seemed to see Qin Miaoxi's worry and comforted her softly, "Miss, don't worry, I will be by your side to protect you."

Qin Miaoxi nodded slightly and smiled calmly: "Don't worry, they are just a few stupid people, not worth my bother."
