Chapter 108 Entering the Palace
County Magistrate: "In that case, then sentence..."
Qi Yue interrupted him and continued, "Since Miss Xie knows her mistakes and can correct them, the county magistrate will fine her 10,000 taels of silver. Since Master Xie refuses to admit his mistakes, he will be imprisoned for three, four or five months to reflect on his mistakes."
The county magistrate hurriedly said, "Miss, you are right!"
Upon hearing this, Xie Wenshu said in panic, "I was wrong, I was wrong. Miss, please, I am willing to pay the fine, 10,000 taels... No, 20,000 taels! I am willing to pay a fine of 20,000 taels!"
Qi Yue chuckled: "Then slap yourself twice, and I will think about it again..."
Hearing this, Xie Wenshu didn't hesitate at all. He slapped himself twice with his other intact hand, and then looked at her expectantly.
Qi Yue: "I have considered it, so I will punish... Master Xie by sending him to prison for three months for reform."
The expression on Xie Wenshu's face froze instantly. When he saw that she didn't look like she was joking, he became furious.
"You bastard! How dare you lie to me!"
The county magistrate saw that Qi Yue had a bad face and was afraid that she would be unhappy and kill someone. Then, as a county magistrate, he would not be able to explain to the Prime Minister's Office.
He hurriedly said, "Hurry up and cover his mouth and drag him away, don't pollute the lady's ears and eyes again!"
Finally, Xie Wanyi signed the contract on the spot and handed over a silver note for three thousand taels.
Although she is spoiled and willful, sometimes when she gets angry she is easily controlled by anger and does things without thinking.
But he is not the kind of person who doesn't know what to do.
Considering the county magistrate's respectful attitude towards Qi Yue, it would not be surprising if she was thrown into the cell with him today.
But Qi Yue just asked her to pay a fine and let her go.
Xie Wanyi looked at Qi Yue, her eyes full of complexity, and her lips moved twice.
A little embarrassed, he said, "Thank you... and, I'm sorry... I shouldn't have scolded you... I'll give you the remaining seven thousand taels when I get home..."
"Shall I send someone to deliver it to you then?"
Qi Yue: "Just send it to Jin Yu Man Tang, and say it's a donation from your Prime Minister's Mansion to the northern region."
Everyone knew that Jin Yumantang was cooperating with the eldest princess to hold an auction to raise funds for the drought in the north. Even though she had been traveling outside for several months, she had heard about it.
Could it be that the girl in front of me...
Is it the eldest princess?
That makes sense.
No wonder the county magistrate suddenly changed his attitude. She actually offended the eldest princess of the dynasty and even tried to snatch the man from the princess.
Thinking of this, Xie Wanyi's face turned pale again.
Qi Yue was unaware of her fear. Seeing that it was almost dusk, he frowned and said, "It's getting late. Let's just ride on horseback and return to Kyoto as quickly as possible."
"Okay, miss." Lin Xu took the lead to embrace Qi Yue and flew away with her.
Wuming pursed his lips and followed, while Lengyue hugged the little mute He Xiang and chased after them.
Xie Wanyi sighed secretly, thinking that she would go back and round up the silver and directly give 10,000 taels to Jin Yumantang. If she was really the eldest princess, then the 10,000 taels would be worth it.
As for Xie Wenshu, humph, just let him stay in this small Sucheng County jail and enjoy himself.
A thing born of a concubine, who called him "big brother" actually dared to lay hands on her.
I really don’t know how much I weigh!
Afterwards, Xie Wanyi took the maids and servants back to the inn they had booked after getting off the merchant ship.
On the other side, Lin Xu took Qi Yue back to Ma City.
The owner of the horse market who had sold him the carriage came up to him immediately and said attentively, "Master, your carriage is over here. I have taken good care of it for you and provided you with plenty of food and fodder!"
Seeing him hugging Qi Yue, he praised sweetly: "Master, you and your wife are really a golden boy and a jade girl, a match made in heaven, a match made in heaven, a talented man and a beautiful woman, a perfect match!"
Lin Xu happily threw him a bag of silver and said, "Go unload the carriage and get two more good horses."
"Okay, sir, please wait a moment. I'll have someone arrange it right away!" The horse market owner happily put the silver into his arms and called two or three horse dealers to pick the horses and unload the carriages.
Wuming fell behind the two of them, pushed Linxu away with a dark face, then put his arm around Qi Yue's shoulders, took out a purse from his arms and threw it into the arms of the horse market owner.
"boast!"
Lin Xu's face turned dark and he was about to take action, but was stopped by Qi Yue's cold look.
The boss of the horse market was stunned and looked at the three people in front of him, a little at a loss.
Qi Yue chuckled and reminded: "Boss, say what you just said again, my little husband also wants to listen."
The boss of Ma Shi looked at Lin Xu, then at Wu Ming, and then at Qi Yue.
The shock in my heart is simply indescribable.
This woman is so amazing that she actually married two husbands.
Even so, the two men did not start fighting.
It’s really amazing!
Anyway, it's just a matter of talking, and there's money to be made, so the horse market boss is naturally very happy.
"The young master and his wife are truly a perfect match, a match made in heaven, a match made in heaven, a man of talent and a woman of beauty, they are a perfect match!"
After hearing this, Wuming's expression eased a lot.
Later, Leng Yue and He Xiang arrived.
The horse dealers quickly arranged the horses. As soon as Qi Yue was helped onto the horse by Wuming, Lin Xu flew directly behind her.
He gave Wuming a provocative look, hugged Qi Yue in his arms, wrapped him in his cloak, threw the reins and rode away.
Wuming clenched his fists so hard that they made a creaking sound. He turned around, got on another horse and quickly chased after him.
Leng Yue helped the confused-looking Yaba Xiang to slowly get on the horse, then he climbed on the horse himself and slowly caught up.
The owner of the horse market looked at the three horses that were running away and couldn't help but sigh: "It's great to be young, and the fun is exciting..."
The few of them traveled all night without stopping and finally arrived in Kyoto at dawn.
Qi Yue had already fallen asleep in Lin Xu's arms, and the little mute He Xiang was also dozing off in Leng Yue's arms.
Finally, Leng Yue led the way back to the princess's mansion.
When Qi Yue woke up, the human skin mask on his face had been removed long ago, and it was already noon.
"He Xiang Leng Yue! Quick, help me wash up and go into the palace!"
He Xiang brought the maids into the house quickly and began to help her wash and change clothes.
Leng Yue was waiting on the side and replied: "Master Lin and Master Wu have already been arranged to rest in the side rooms."
Qi Yue: "Is the Luoxia grass placed properly?"
Leng Yue: “It’s already been put away.”
The last pearl hairpin was inserted into her hair bun, and a cold light flashed in her eyes: "Let's go, I want to see which demon is behind this, daring to collude with the enemy country to poison my brother!"
Qi Yue took He Xiang Lengyue on a carriage and headed towards the palace.
As a result, he was stopped as soon as he arrived at the palace gate.
The gatekeeper said: "Who dares to enter the palace without getting off the carriage?"
The driver shouted angrily: "How dare you! This is the Princess' carriage, you guys don't want to die!"
