Yun Yuan got up from the bed feeling sore all over. After lunch, Xinghua told her that General Zhenwei's mother, Ge, had come, and not only her, but also her younger brother Zhong had come with her.

Ge actually took people to the Jingzhao government office to report the case. The Jingzhao Yin, who had been informed by the emperor in advance, scolded them and drove them out.

Ge threatened fiercely, "Aren't you afraid of our revenge?"

The Jingzhao Yin seemed to be looking at a fool. Now the country is peaceful and the people are safe. There has been no war on the border for a long time. Except for the occasional riots by bandits and pirates in the local areas, the whole country is very peaceful.

It’s strange to say, where did Zhong Jianmin find so many bandits and how did he get promoted to the fourth rank? Jingzhao Yin smelled a secret.

Now more than half of the military power is in the hands of the emperor. In terms of governing the country and ensuring the people's safety, military generals are not as useful as civil officials. The court has a tendency to emphasize civil officials over military officials. Although Your Majesty has tried hard to stop it, civil officials are still more powerful than military generals. The old lady really has no idea.

"I'm a third-rank official, and I'm afraid of your son, a fourth-rank general? Be careful or I'll report you for threatening court officials and obstructing justice!"

Ge had no idea about the rank of official positions. She was used to being lawless at home and rarely attended banquets. She really thought she was the boss. When the Jingzhao Yin called her a grandson, she got angry when she got home.

When Yun Yuan went out, Chunyu stood at the door as steady as a rock, and refused to retreat no matter how Ge and Zhong's younger brother shouted.

Seeing the pretty woman with graceful lotus steps, Madam Ge and Younger Zhong were first dazed, then incredulous. This stunning beauty was actually Yun?! Without the constraints of the General's Mansion, she was living a much better life. The fox cloak she wore was dazzling, and it was obvious that it was very expensive.

Spendthrift woman! This money used to belong to their family, how could they not watch it and let Yun smuggle it out? Ge was heartbroken.

"Mrs. Yun, take care of your servants and help me in!" Mrs. Ge raised her arm and waited for Yun Yuan to help her.

Yun Yuan sneered, and Zhong's eyes were filled with greed. How could he not have known Yun was so beautiful before? Big brother is really blind.

"Auntie, this is my home. You can't go in."

Mrs. Ge said with a stern face, "What do you mean by 'Auntie'? I am your mother-in-law. Even if we are divorced, you still have to call me mother-in-law."

Yun Yuan laughed when she heard this: "You also said that you've divorced. If someone didn't know, they would think I was going to remain faithful to your eldest son."

"Shouldn't it be?" Mrs. Ge said, "Since you've married my son, you should remain faithful to him. A good woman shouldn't serve two husbands. Don't be like those whores who remarry just a few days after getting a divorce. You'll go to hell when you die."

Yun Yuan rolled her eyes, too exhausted to complain: "Let's go, stay away from my house."

"Your family? This is my Zhong family's property." "Little Brother Zhong held his head high and said seriously, "You seduced an outsider and shamelessly took my Zhong family's property. If you know what's good for you, hand over what you took, or I'll take you to the authorities."

Mrs. Ge said, "Yes, take your people and leave quickly. We want to take this yard back now. Don't force us to drive you away."

Yun Yuan sneered, "Are you convinced that I'm easy to bully and no one will stand up for me?"

Mrs. Ge stopped talking. That was what she believed. She was just a merchant girl. Her parents were not in the capital, and she had no close personal friends. So she could be manipulated at will.

Yun Yuan said, "And you, Zhong Erlang? Everyone knows that it was your eldest brother who abandoned his wife and divorced me. You spread rumors that I had an affair. So, can I also accuse you of forcibly abducting a decent girl, seizing farmland, and forcing an elderly farmer to death?"

"I didn't!" Brother Zhong's eyes rolled around, and he was obviously guilty. Yun Yuan knew at a glance that he was right, but she didn't know which one it was, or both?

The noise had already attracted the neighbors, who watched the show for free.

Yun Yuan said coldly, "For the sake of our past friendship, I don't want to use violence. You can go now."

When Mrs. Ge heard this, she slapped her thigh and grumbled, "Fellow villagers, please judge for yourself. This shameless bitch is infertile and she even prevented my son from taking a concubine. My son couldn't stand her so he kicked her out. But she actually transferred our Zhong family's property to outsiders. We are here today to seek justice and get our property back."

Yun Yuan had never seen such a posture before. It was because she had little experience and life experience. Not only her, but the original owner had never seen such a posture before. She had no talent for scolding people at all.

Her face flushed with anger. "Your family was dirt poor before I married you. We couldn't even afford the money for the wedding. We relied entirely on my father's charity. Now I'm divorced, and all I took away was my dowry. I have witnesses, so I'm not afraid of going to court!"

At this time, someone in the crowd recognized him: "Isn't this Zhong Erlang? The one with him should be the old lady from General Zhenwei's mansion. She is really mean and unreasonable.

Someone continued, "Then there's the original wife who was all the fuss a few days ago. She looks like this, and she's no less beautiful than the most beautiful woman in the capital. General Zhenwei is so confused."

Mrs. Ge was so angry that she was shaking: "How dare you! How dare you, the lowly people, talk about my son!"

"Oh, so it's that unfaithful man who committed adultery, kicked his original wife out of the house in the heavy snow, and left her fainting in the street!"

"It can't be wrong. Everyone in the capital knows it."

"Yes, that's her." Chunyu said angrily, "If our young lady hadn't been clever enough to secretly transport the dowry out, she would have starved to death on the streets."

"How dare you even bother me?" someone in the crowd said, "I heard the gods were angered by General Zhenwei's mansion, and last night the house collapsed, leaving not even a wall. No wonder they came knocking on our door. They have nowhere to live!"

Mrs. Ge and Zhong Xiaodi were both used to being served, so how could they stay in such a simple inn? They didn't expect that their thoughts were revealed, and their faces turned pale and blue.

Brother Zhong finally had some shame and took his mother away.

Mrs. Ge kept cursing as she walked, and the shameless little brother Zhong could hardly bear it.

"Mom, please stop talking..."

Yun Yuan closed the door and ordered Chun Yu, "Go and steal their money and distribute it to the beggars and poor people in the suburbs of Beijing. How dare you come and disgust me? I won't tolerate them!"
