As soon as the shout came, several maids rushed in and supported the bride.

The housekeeper rushed in and said, "Sir, I don't know what happened. There was a huge fire all of a sudden. Your study... study is completely burned!"

Governor Han clenched his hands, looked at the fire not far away, and said in a deep voice:

"It's too late to investigate. There are many guests staying overnight tonight. The most urgent task is to evacuate the crowd and put out the fire to ensure everyone's safety. No one should be killed!"

"Yes, I'll go right away!"

The housekeeper ran outside, shouting at the servants to put out the fire. The guests who were staying overnight also ran out in a hurry and gathered in the empty and safe courtyard.

Everyone is confused:

"Why is there such a big fire out of nowhere?"

"Everyone got out, right? No one was injured?"

"Boss Wang, how are you? Are you hurt?"

"Sister Zhang..."

Just when everyone was in a mess and anxious, someone pulled off Qin Ye's red veil. At the same time, a group of people rushed in from outside:

"Governor, even if you don't want to marry my daughter, you shouldn't humiliate her in this way!"

It’s Magistrate Li!

As soon as he finished shouting, everyone subconsciously looked for the bride, but saw a woman in red with a veil covering her face, with only a pair of eyes showing.

Those eyes, that forehead, that thin chin, that outline...

The bride is not Miss Li!

"What's going on!"

Everyone was shocked.

Governor Han, who was busy putting out the fire, ran over quickly and saw the strange bride, "You..."

He was also stunned, "How could it be..."

Why not Bing'er?

Li Zhifu accused him coldly: "You forced me to pay tribute to you, and gave you 30% of the profits from silk and tea as a 'tribute'. You also asked me to pay you 1,000 taels of silver every month."

"I originally wanted to marry my daughter to you, hoping that after you and I became a family, I would be able to correct your behavior. I didn't expect that you would blatantly marry another woman under the guise of marrying Bing'er!"

"I refused to give you any 'benefits' and you took revenge on me by doing this. You have such a cruel heart!"

Angry accusations echoed in everyone's heart, like a heavy hammer, clanging loudly.

There are such twists and turns in this matter!

Governor Han asked for benefits from Prefect Li, but Prefect Li refused to give them.

Magistrate Li used the marriage of his daughter to "pay off the debt", but Governor Han was displeased and not only tarnished the reputation of Miss Li's family, but also married another woman to teach the "disobedient" Magistrate Li a lesson.

After the guests understood the cause and effect of the incident, they immediately started discussing it like a pot of porridge that had exploded:

"Governor Han is such a person..."

"If you can't get any benefits, then use Miss Li to threaten Magistrate Li..."

"He didn't marry Miss Li, and he ruined Miss Li's reputation. What's the difference between that and killing Miss Li? If I were Miss Li, I would have hit my head and died after being humiliated like that!"

"Governor Han is such a corrupt official! He is so despicable!"

"We don't need such a governor in Xiangnan City. Go back home!"

“Go back!”

Anger, accusations, complaints...all of a sudden, one after another.

Governor Han tried to explain in panic, but with the raging fire on one side, the bride being replaced on the other, and everyone talking about it on the other, his voice of explanation was drowned out by the noise of discussion.

Everyone cursed at him and no one would listen to him.

"I only wanted to marry Bing'er... I didn't know about the bride swap... I didn't ask for any benefits from Magistrate Li, I didn't embezzle... I didn't..."
