After all the trouble, Lingzhi was tired.

She originally wanted to buy a big house and enjoy herself.

But land is very expensive in Beijing, so in the end, I could only grit my teeth and rent a small courtyard.

Although it is not big, it is enough to shelter from wind and rain.

Because this face had caused trouble for the Duke's Mansion, Lingzhi changed into a human skin mask for safety reasons.

Now he appears with a man's face.

After hiding in the courtyard for a few days, she discovered that she seemed to be sick.

She has recently been feeling weak, sleepy, nauseous and vomiting, and has been feeling unspeakably uncomfortable.

As a last resort, she had to go to the street to find a doctor.

There were still countless officers and soldiers searching everywhere along the way.

Just then, a soldier walked past her and said to the person in front of him, "Xiao Liu, why are you here? Didn't I tell you to continue the search?"

The one called Xiaoliu laughed at the officers and soldiers: "What are you searching for? It's been several days and we still haven't found anything."

The other party glared at him and said, "You dare not obey the prince's order?"

Xiao Liu chuckled and said, "I just came back from a search. I was just joking."

"I can't find anyone. The prince is in a bad mood and has been more alert these past two days..."

The two started talking about other things, and Lingzhi was no longer in the mood to listen.

He walked quickly all the way to a small, empty clinic on the corner of the street.

After a while, she sat at the desk, and an old doctor with squinting eyes took her pulse, taking it with his left hand for a while, then with his right hand for a while.

Lingzhi felt uneasy and had a bad feeling. She couldn't help asking, "Doctor, do I have an incurable disease?"

The old doctor looked at her masculine face and said hesitantly: "Sir... No, young lady, this is your pregnancy pulse."

Lingzhi gasped.

She is not married yet and has not had sex.

The only time was in the hot spring pool, with Xiao Qingyun.

It’s such a coincidence that I got it right in one try?

Lingzhi hesitated for a long time, and finally took a deep breath: "Please give me some abortion pills!"

The old doctor looked at her hesitantly again, probably having some guesses in his mind, and finally nodded.

Lingzhi didn't care what he was thinking. Her mind was full of the ridiculous night of pleasure that day.

I thought losing my virginity was bad enough, but who would have thought there would be something worse.

How come she became a mother in just that one night?

What a sin!

Lingzhi left the clinic with the abortion pills prescribed by the old doctor, sighing as she walked back.

But when they arrived at her yard, they found that it was on fire.

"The fire is——"

"Put out the fire!"

“Fire!!”

My ears were filled with the noise of people desperately shouting "Fire!"

Lingzhi came to his senses, quickly dropped the medicine in his hand and rushed into the house.

Her silver, banknotes, gold and silver jewelry are still in the house!

As a result, she was stopped at the door by the landlord who rented the house to her.

"Hey, why did the house catch fire for no reason? You must have set it on purpose, right? Pay me, pay me now!"

Lingzhi looked at her and her eyelids twitched.

"What compensation? Get out of the way!"

If you don't move away, all the money in the house will be burned and gone.

"You want to default on your debt?"

The landlord snorted coldly, called a few people over, and took her to the court.

Lingzhi had not come to her senses until she stood under the bright plaque with the words "A Bright Mirror Hangs High" in the courtroom.

All her money was burned, and she still didn't understand the situation, and now she's going to court?

The yamen runners in maroon clothes stood on both sides holding sticks and shouted "kill with sticks".

The atmosphere in the hall was serious, and Lingzhi was pushed to kneel down in the hall.

Sitting on the high platform was a middle-aged man in official uniform, with two long wisps of beard under his chin, looking very majestic. He was Zhu Hu, the prefect of the capital.

“Snap—”

The gavel banged on the high platform.

Zhu Hu calmly shouted, "Who is this person here? What's your grievance?"

Before Lingzhi looked up, she heard a woman crying shrilly beside her. It was the landlord who rented the courtyard to her.

The woman came over like a gust of wind and fell to her knees in front of the hall, crying out, "Please, sir, please help me. This man burned down my house. Please make a fair judgment and make him pay me compensation!"

Zhu Hu waved his hand impatiently and asked, "Are you the main plaintiff?"

"Your Excellency, I am the plaintiff. I have been wronged. I beg you to help me!"

The woman cried bitterly and refused to give in.

Zhu Hu was troubled by the woman's crying. If it were usual, it would be fine, but now...

Zhu Hu couldn't help but look behind a curtain on the side and felt a headache.

Now the regent Xiao Qingyun is still waiting behind the curtain to discuss the search with him. If anything goes wrong, he will have a hard time explaining it.

Zhu Hu in the hall couldn't help but frowned: "How do you know that he was the one who set the fire? Do you have any evidence?"

"I saw it with my own eyes. He was the only one living in that room. When I arrived, I saw him setting the fire. My neighbor Zhang Da can testify to this!" the woman replied.

"Your Excellency, I saw it with my own eyes."

Upon seeing this, Zhang Da immediately stood out from the crowd and made a solemn promise.

Seeing Zhang Da, Lingzhi suddenly understood.

These two people are in the same group.

When they were looking for a house, it was Zhang Da who acted as a guarantor and made an agreement that if the house was damaged, he would pay a hundred times the compensation.

The two of them are singing the same tune today just for the sake of money.

Seeing that there was a witness, Zhu Hu asked a few more questions and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
