Qing Sui was stunned.
For a moment she forgot that the mistress she would be serving was a delicate young woman who couldn't lift a finger, and who even found walking tiring.
"Is riding a horse alright? No, I'll go to the front yard and fetch it."
Jiang Qingwan rubbed her forehead.
"No matter what Mo Yunhan has said to you, if you want to stay by my side, you don't have to follow his rules. Just speak freely."
Qing Sui coughed softly, her face turning slightly red.
"Then I'll go fetch the horse."
Jiang Qingwan knew how to ride a horse, but she wasn't very skilled. Fortunately, the journey to Jingzhao Prefecture wasn't too far.
When she dismounted, her inner thighs were chafed and a little sore, making her walk slightly uncomfortable.
A crowd had gathered at the entrance of the yamen. Qinghui led the way, and they quickly squeezed their way in.
Lian'er and Li Dou were kneeling in the courtroom. Besides them, there were seven or eight other people, some of whom still had blood on their heads.
"Master Liu."
Jiang Qingwan called out.
Lian'er turned around, and tears welled up in her eyes as she felt wronged.
"Miss."
Upon hearing this, the others all turned to look at him.
Upon seeing Jiang Qingwan, they immediately pointed and began to hurl insults at each other.
"She's that harlot, sir! Arrest her and behead her! She's a menace!"
"Seduce your own father-in-law, shameless slut, ptooey!"
"Look at the way she walks, I wonder which man's bed she slept in last night, she's really filthy."
"The general who framed our loyal generals of the Great Zhou Dynasty and even seduced the Ninth Prince, she might be a spy sent by the enemy country."
Li Douqi rolled up his sleeves in anger.
I'll beat you to death!
Those people had all experienced Li Dou's punches before, and they were so frightened that they all backed away, and then began to kowtow to Liu Ruzhi and cry out for justice.
"Sir, you must do justice for me! He broke my leg."
"Sir, he broke my arm."
"And my head."
"My whole body aches, sir."
Liu Ruzhi was so dizzy from the noise.
He didn't sleep a wink all night in an effort to find any clues about the dry well case.
Exhausted to the point of wanting to die, he quickly waved to the yamen runner at the door to let Jiang Qingwan in.
"Your maid and servant injured someone. There is ample evidence and witness testimony. Do you have any defense?"
Suddenly, someone in the crowd watching the commotion outside shouted.
"Lord Liu, this shameless woman is the root of all evil! Kill her! Kill her!"
Many of those who gathered around were people from the market, as well as family members of the person who had been beaten.
Emotions were instantly stirred up, and everyone raised their hands, shouting louder and louder.
