City Lord: ...
Yuchi Xi touched his chair and said, "Hey, I've been corrupt for half my life, and now it's a good thing for me. Tsk tsk, some people, the consequences of their evil intentions are really tragic!"
This was heartbreaking. The city lord thought about how he had spent half his life doing this and that to make his city lord's mansion so perfect and satisfactory, but now he couldn't live there anymore?
Thinking of this, he screamed and spat out a mouthful of blood.
The moment he vomited blood, Jing Huaian kicked him away and said, "Don't pollute the little princess's eyes."
City Lord:? ? ?
He slammed his head against the door, spurted out another mouthful of blood, and fainted.
This time he was knocked unconscious.
Jing Huaian walked up to Yuchixi and bent down, "Little Princess, I'll carry you out. Once this place is clean, you can come and play anytime."
Yuchi Xi nodded and stretched out her hand to him. Jing Huaian then picked her up, let her sit in his arms, and walked out.
When passing by the city lord, Jing Huaian was worried that he was faking fainting, so he hit him hard on the back of the neck with the back of his sword. After confirming that he was really fainted, he walked away.
Yuchi Xi leaned on his shoulder, smiling, "Brother Jing is the most reliable person."
Jing Huaian raised the corners of his lips slightly, then quickly lowered them, "Yeah."
The little princess saw how steady he was. He was much better than that damn Yuchi Yanchen!
Jing Huaian carried her out of the yard and called the guards in to take the city lord away.
Guards of the City Lord’s Mansion:?
"This is my master."
You want me to take my master away with you? Is that reasonable?
Is this normal?!
Jing Huaian hummed, "He is no longer the city lord."
Guard:!!!
I understand. The city lord is no longer the city lord, but the little princess is still the little princess.
The guard immediately saluted and said, "Yes, I understand."
He immediately ran over and carried the city lord on his shoulders, "Where should we send him?"
"Just follow us." Jing Huaian said as he walked out, and the guards hurriedly followed him.
Jing Huaian took him to the prefect's residence.
When the prefect heard that the little princess had arrived, he hurried out to greet her. As soon as he saw her, he immediately knelt down to pay his respects. Yuchi Xi said, "Please stand up first."
"This man is the city lord. I believe you have met him before. Here is the evidence of his corruption..."
When Yuchi Xi said this, Jing Huaian took out a book from his sleeve and threw it directly to the prefect, who quickly reached out to catch it.
"It's all here." Yuchi Xi continued, "Just deal with it according to the law."
Prefect:!!!
Did the little princess find out what the city lord had done before?
The prefect felt he needed to demonstrate his loyalty. "Little Princess, I'm aware of the prefect's actions and have sent word to the capital. I'm just wondering why there hasn't been any news from the capital. I suspect there might be someone above him."
He paused for a moment, worried that the little princess might not understand, so he explained, "It means that there are people above him who are protecting him. Well, it means that there are people with higher rank than him who are protecting him."
Yuchi Xi: ...You don't have to explain it so clearly.
"I understand. I will have my father investigate this matter thoroughly."
"If you can pry something out of him, that would be even better!"
The prefect responded with a "yes," and Yuchi Xi waved his hand, "Then I'll leave him to you."
"Brother Jing, let's go to the City Lord's Mansion!"
Let’s go see if the city lord has any good things hidden!
"yes."
Jing Huaian nodded slightly to the prefect, then turned and left with her in his arms.
The guard hesitated for a moment and asked the prefect, "Do you need me to help you get the person in?"
The prefect nodded, "Thank you for your help."
"It's no trouble, no trouble." The guard quickly offered himself. "I used to be a guard at the City Lord's Mansion. Now that the City Lord is gone, I don't know what to do. If you need a guard, you can consider me."
The prefect smiled and said, "Okay, if there is an errand suitable for you, I will call you."
"Hey!" The guard responded happily and carried the city lord inside.
…
When Yuchi Xi returned to the City Lord's Mansion, the bloodstains in the hall had already been cleaned up. She did not go in, "Where is your City Lord's courtyard?"
Yuchi Xi asked the maid beside her, and the maid quickly said, "Princess, please follow me."
She led the way in front, and Jing Huaian followed with her in his arms.
Yuchi Xi thought that the city lord's mansion was quite large, so he didn't come down and walked away.
When the maid led them to the city lord's courtyard, the city lord's wife and a group of concubines were drinking tea in the courtyard.
Concubine A was arrogant and said, "Oh, my Lord only favors me. What do you have any objections to?"
"If you have any opinions, just keep them to yourself. Madam hasn't said anything yet!"
Concubine B gritted her teeth in hatred, but she could only watch her being so proud here. After all, she was really loved by the master.
The lady doesn't care about her!
"Oh? So what if the Master dotes on you? Your belly..." Concubine B sneered, "You're just not doing your best. In my opinion, you can't have children!"
Children have always been a weak spot for Concubine A. After hearing her taunting, Concubine A rushed forward and said, "I'll tear your mouth apart!"
"Let you talk nonsense!"
Concubine A rushed over, grabbed Concubine B's hair, and slapped her. Concubine B was also angry and reached out to grab her hair. The two of them immediately wrestled with each other, their hair was messy, and hairpins flew everywhere.
Some maids would secretly pick them up and put them into their sleeves. After all, there was a pond next to them. If the concubines asked about it, they would say that they fell into the pond. If the concubines asked them to go down and look for it, they would pretend to have found it in the pond.
If the aunt didn't ask, they could sell it for silver!
The city lord's wife reached out and picked up the teacup, took a sip of tea, and watched them quarreling with a calm look.
Go ahead and quarrel and make a fuss. If the adults see you, they will just hate you.
Hearing the footsteps, concubine A, who was pulling, suddenly let go and was pushed to the ground by concubine B. She cried out in grievance.
Concubine B was stunned. Although she had pushed hard just now, it was not enough to push her down, unless she wanted to fall down herself.
Concubine B also heard the footsteps at this time, so how could she not understand what she meant?
Haha, are you trying to pretend for the adults?
Concubine B also sat down on the ground, crying in grievance.
Concubine A glared at her and said, "You little bitch, how dare you imitate me!"
Concubine B glared back and said, "Just learn, what's the matter?"
The city lord's wife also stood up leisurely at this time. It would be her turn to perform a gentle and dignified show soon.
"Sisters, why are you doing this?"
"master……"
When the city lord's wife heard the footsteps getting closer, she turned her head and called out. When she saw who was coming, the gentle smile on her face froze.
Um? ?
The person who came was not the master...
Who is this?
Where is the master?
The maid brought Yuchi Xi and the other person in and was stunned by the scene.
Madam and concubines, what are you doing?
