Thinking about taking concubines at such a young age? Have you even grown any hair yet?

Qin Zifeng, who had been looking bored, suddenly changed his expression, staring intently at the boy with a gloomy look on his face.

As a ten-year-old girl, Xiao Muxing didn't understand what a concubine meant, and subconsciously looked at Qin Qing.

Seeing this, Qin Qing reached out and patted her head, then looked at the boy and said.

"How old are you?"

The boy, not to be outdone, assumed this was the girl's mother and proudly raised his head.

"I am thirteen years old, and I am the son of the current Prime Minister! Fan Wenxuan!"

Fan Wenxuan's name immediately attracted the attention of many people, who looked at him in surprise! Those in front were quite satisfied with this!

Qin Qing just smiled.

"Oh, so what? You're so young and already behaving badly, demanding a woman from a respectable family to be your concubine. You're just the son of the prime minister, not the prime minister himself. What's with all the arrogance? I know my granddaughter is beautiful, clever, and attractive, but I'm sorry, you look terrible and are truly unworthy of my granddaughter! So, I refuse!"

A few words were used to satirize the boy in front of him, but without using a single swear word!

Qin Zifeng, who was standing to the side, burst out laughing. He admired Qin Qing very much. No wonder Xiao Muxing was sometimes so quick-witted. With such a grandmother, how could she be a parasitic vine!

The boy was stunned by what he heard. Perhaps it was the first time someone had dared to speak to him like that. After regaining his senses, he was so angry that his face turned red!

"You...you shrew, how dare you say I'm not worthy? Who do you think you are? Guards!"

At the boy's command, three or five burly men stepped out from the crowd...

Qin Qing's expression turned cold upon seeing this. He had initially thought the boy was just an arrogant brat, but it seemed he had also committed acts of kidnapping women!

then…

A few minutes later, the burly men were all knocked down and lay on the ground howling in pain!

Qin Qing kicked one of them away, sending him crashing down right in front of the boy, startling him so much that his face paled!

Meanwhile, Xiao Muxing directly stabbed the big man, her hand moving swiftly and without hesitation. Fortunately, she didn't kill him, only slashing him.

Everyone around was terrified and fled in panic. Only then did the boy come to his senses, and with a scream, he fainted.

And then... I missed the preliminary exam!

Seeing this, Qin Qing did not hesitate at all and turned to go to the inn.

The boy lay quietly on the ground until someone reported it to the authorities, at which point someone belatedly arrived and took him away.

By this time, the exam had ended, and many students were walking out one by one.

A group of soldiers rushed up to the second floor of the inn and surrounded Qin Qing and his companions...

"Someone has accused you of assaulting the son of a high-ranking official, thus delaying Young Master Fan's first examination. Therefore, you have been arrested and brought to justice!"

Qin Qing drank the tea in his hand and turned his gaze to the soldiers beside him.

"Young Master Fan forcibly abducted a woman. I was merely acting in self-defense. Am I not allowed to fight back when I'm being bullied? What law in the Tianlong Kingdom stipulates this? Please explain, sir."

The leading officer was taken aback, then said…

"But it's a fact that you hit the Prime Minister's son, and many people can testify to that!"

Qin Qing smiled again.

"Who said I hit him? He was clearly scared unconscious! Does that mean we have to blame him for being a coward? I could say he scared my granddaughter! And… you mean witnesses? Where are the witnesses? Who can prove I laid a hand on that kid? Accusing someone is illegal; I can sue you…"

Officers and soldiers: "......."

Holy crap, I'm here to arrest her, and she's actually going to sue me!

When Mu Yang came out, his expression remained calm, clearly showing he wasn't worried about the exam at all...

He didn't see his family for a long time, and only after entering the inn did he see the group of soldiers! He also overheard Qin Qing's words upstairs. After thinking for a moment, he decided to leave. He believed that his grandmother could handle this herself, and his appearance would be useless! He was powerless and helpless now, and no one would listen to him anyway…

After Qin Qing finished speaking upstairs, seeing that the group of soldiers were about to arrest people again, he felt a surge of annoyance. What a nuisance!

"Get out of my way, or don't blame me for being impolite! If he still wants to sue me, let him go ahead and file a complaint with the emperor! I, Qin Qing, will be waiting at home!"

Having said that, she led the two of them downstairs with an air of nonchalance…

The leading officer was taken aback, but stood still without making any attempt to stop them!

Only after the person left did someone say that.

"My lord, why don't you arrest her? What if the Prime Minister blames us..."

"Smack!"

The leading officer slapped him across the face, his expression grim.

"Arrest her? Do you think I don't want to? She's Qin Qing! His Majesty's most favored imperial merchant! She's also His Majesty's spy among the people. You dare arrest her? Tomorrow your whole family will be arrested!"

Qin Qing's name had spread throughout the capital a few years ago, and all officials avoided her like the plague. It was rumored that His Majesty had confiscated the homes of many officials because of her report. Just imagine, a woman's words led the emperor to confiscate the homes of several ministers...

As a lowly official, would he survive if he arrested Qin Qing? But if he didn't, he wouldn't be able to do anything about it if the Prime Minister blamed him!

He's caught in a dilemma on both sides, so he might as well pretend nothing happened and let the Prime Minister handle it himself.

After Qin Qing and the others went downstairs, they finally saw Mu Yang and the disappointment on his face…

Mu Yang has been intelligent and mature since childhood, and he has a long-term perspective on things. She has always known this. Seeing his expression, Qin Qing naturally knew what he was thinking, so she strode over and said gently.

"Ah Yang, what are you thinking about! Let's go home."

Lost in his own world, Mu Yang suddenly snapped back to reality. Looking up, he saw the trust and tenderness in Qin Qing's eyes, and his heart calmed down a little. So he smiled.

"good!"

News of what happened today spread quickly, and the old prime minister was furious when he found out. The next day, he cried and complained in court!

The old emperor was already overwhelmed by what he heard, and before he could even speak, Wang Yan's sarcastic remark shut him up.

"As the saying goes, 'It is the father's fault if he raises a child without teaching him!' Prime Minister, you are indeed senile. Wasn't the whole thing caused by your good-for-nothing son harassing a respectable woman? Harassing a respectable woman in public, and it is said that he even wanted that ten-year-old girl to be the young master's concubine... Ha! Is this what you call the pride of a scholar, Prime Minister? A beast in human clothing!"

"puff!"

Wang Yan spoke these words with a cold face, which immediately caused several officials to burst out laughing. The old prime minister's face turned red instantly! He roared.

"Wang Yan! This is my family matter, it has nothing to do with you!"

Then, Wang Yan turned around and looked at him with a sarcastic gaze.

"Old Prime Minister, you may not know, but the woman you just mentioned being torn apart by five horses and executed by slow slicing is none other than my fiancée!"
