The abandoned concubine who transmigrated woke up shouting "Long live the widow!"

Soon the crowd parted a little from both sides, and a man wearing a brocade robe walked in with his hands behind his back, followed by four people dressed in short clothes.

When the shadow guard saw that several people had arrived, he was afraid that Jingxue would be at a disadvantage, so he did not leave.

Peng Qingqing's ex-husband saw the man and immediately shouted, "Brother-in-law, quick! They've acupunctured Meiniang!"

With a wave of his hand, the man sent a follower to release the pressure points from the pregnant woman.

"Brother, you've finally arrived! Quickly avenge your sister!"

The man turned to Jingxue and the others and said, "Which of you laid a hand on my sister? Kneel down and apologize, or I'll spare your life!"

Jingxue ignored him, took out the shop's deed from her bosom, and held it up. "Look carefully, this shop is mine. I have things to do today and don't have time to deal with you. If you dare to cause trouble again, watch out for my lackeys. Also,"

She pointed at Peng Qingqing and said, "She's mine, and her child is mine too. Nobody can lay a finger on her unless she wants to! Get out of here!"

The man in the brocade robe was furious when Jingxue ignored him. He pointed at Jingxue and said, "You ignorant little wench..."

The shadow guards who were not far from him dislocated his arm in the blink of an eye before he could finish speaking, and then quickly returned to Jingxue's side, so fast that everyone around them thought they were seeing things.

The man screamed in pain, "Are you all tired of living? Do you know who I am? My godfather is a high-ranking official in the Hanlin Academy! Are you all dead men? Get him!"

His entourage was about to rush forward, and Shadow Fifteen and another shadow guard were already in defensive stance. Jingxue sneered, "A high-ranking official in the Hanlin Academy, how high is he? You talk like you're the emperor's godson? Ha!"

At this moment, Jingxue's eyes were filled with coldness. "Fifteen, if they dare to make a move, beat them! I'll take responsibility if they die! Don't hold back. I want to see if there's no law under the emperor's nose."

Several followers who were about to rush forward hesitated, intimidated by Jingxue's words. Just then, a voice came from outside the crowd: "What are you all doing here? Who's causing trouble?"

The crowd suddenly dispersed, and several men who looked like yamen runners with swords walked in.

Ying Shiwu slightly turned her head to Jingxue and said, "Miss, they are patrols from the Jingzhao Prefecture!"

The man immediately ran over, arms crossed, "Sir, the people in this shop injured me! You must do me justice! My godfather is a high-ranking official in the Hanlin Academy!"

The head constable glanced at the man and said, "They wouldn't beat you for no reason, would they? Do you think the officials are all fools?"

At this moment, Peng Qingqing stepped forward and recounted what had just happened. Of course, her ex-husband and the pregnant woman kept interrupting her until the yamen runner gave her a cold look, at which point the two shut up.

After Peng Qingqing finished speaking, the yamen runner looked at Jingxue's house deed and Peng Qingqing's divorce agreement.

He addressed the two who had interrupted him, saying, "Aren't you being unreasonable? What do you take West Street for? Are you trying to seize someone's shop? Since you're getting a divorce, you should just go your separate ways peacefully. This endless fuss is a disgrace to scholars!"

"No, sir, who knows if their house deeds are real or fake? Besides, there are so many male shopkeepers on the street, why choose a divorced woman? There must be some unspeakable truth behind this!" Peng Qingqing's ex-husband was still arguing vehemently.

Jingxue was so angry at his words that she laughed. "Whether my property deed is real or fake is none of your business. Does a divorced woman deserve to die? A scumbag like you doesn't deserve to live!"

"you?"

"Alright, stop arguing! Are you going to the Jingzhao Prefecture government office? The prefect is very busy, do you still want to go?"

The man who had been beaten, who hadn't spoken until now, said, "Sir, does that mean they beat me for nothing?"

"Where did I hit you? I'll just break your arm and put it back here. Here! The magistrate will give you a good beating today!" After saying that, the yamen runner reached out and put the man's arm back.

"Ah!" the man screamed like a pig being slaughtered.

The constable whispered something to the man, and the man slunk away with the resentful pregnant woman and Peng Qingqing's ex-boyfriend.

"Alright, everyone, go home! It's so cold, why aren't you all staying home? Are you all just bored and looking for trouble?"

The other constables also dispersed the crowd.

The leading constable bowed to Jingxue and said, "I have failed in my duty; please forgive me, sir!"

Jingxue had just overheard the constable saying to the man in the brocade robe, "This is a powerful figure you can't afford to offend. Have you had enough of living?"

Then he should know who he is.

"You've worked hard! Here, have some tea!" Jingxue said, tossing over a ten-tael silver ingot.

The man took the silver and said, "It's my duty, thank you for your kindness!" Then he left with his men.

The onlookers had all left, and Jingxue told Ying Shiwu and the other person to wait for her in the carriage before she stepped into the shop.

Inside the shop, the old woman who had just taken the cleaver was coaxing two children. When she saw Jingxue enter, she quickly bowed and said, "Greetings, Miss!"

"Do you know me?" Jingxue had just thought this was the woman Peng Qingqing had found to look after the child. Manager Wang went to the fruit and vegetable shop, and her wife naturally followed. This was someone Lixia had arranged to come and cook and do chores. As for who it was, Jingxue didn't know.

"Young Miss, I used to be a laundry maid in the Zhenbei Prince's Mansion. My surname is Han, and everyone calls me Han Ma. I went to the estate first, and a few days ago, Steward Yuan sent me to the shop!"

"Oh!" Jingxue nodded.

“Master, let’s go to the backyard!” Peng Qingqing said.

"it is good!"

When they arrived at Peng Qingqing's room in the backyard, Han Ma took the two children to another room. In the other rooms, there were embroiderers working. Jingxue thought that these people were really calm. It was noisy outside, but they were not affected at all.

Peng Qingqing came in and knelt down with a thud. "Boss, I'm sorry! It's my fault! I've affected the shop's business."

Jingxue sat in the chair, took off her mask, and said, "Get up! I don't like people kneeling down all the time."

Actually, Jingxue had a good impression of Peng Qingqing. She was a very strong woman. Growing up in this feudal era, it took a lot of courage for her to propose a divorce. However, her taste in men wasn't very good. But, this might also be partly due to Manager Peng.

"It won't have much of an impact, but what are your plans for the future?" Jingxue asked.

Peng Qingqing thought Jingxue was going to fire her. Just as she was about to kneel down, she remembered what Jingxue had said and clasped her hands together helplessly. "Boss, please give me another chance. Don't fire me!"

Jingxue: Hmm? Is that what I meant?

"What are you thinking? I mean, what are your plans to do about that jerk?"
