Chapter 120 The Living Can Sue Me
Qin Jinzhi and her entourage went directly to the Guo residence.
Guo Nanzhen was a concubine's daughter and was mistreated by her stepmother.
Despite such an environment, he did not give up reading.
This shows that she is resolute and very intelligent.
Since she is bound by this identity, Qin Jinzhi will give her an identity.
An identity that will no longer be bound!
Cui Ying closed her eyes as she watched the Guo family's gate collapse.
Hello, door-tampering hero!
Qin Jinzhi didn't even dismount; she rode her horse into the Guo residence.
The servants of the Guo household had never seen anything like this before and immediately asked, "Who are you! How dare you break in? I'm reporting you to the authorities!"
Cui Ying took a deep breath and then said, "Princess Jinzhi has come to visit, why don't you have your master's family receive her immediately!"
A bad reputation can be quite useful sometimes!
The servant was taken aback when he heard this, and then immediately ran into the courtyard.
Princess Jinzhi! The little tyrant of the capital! When did the Guo family offend this ancestor?
When Guo Nanzhen’s father, Guo Xiude, arrived with his family, he looked extremely panicked!
This princess is infamous throughout the capital; anyone who crosses her will either die or suffer greatly!
What wind blew this person here!
"Your humble servant Guo Xiude and your wife Cao Xiuqin pay their respects to the Princess!"
Liu Yun was gnawing on a very precious green plant, and both the couple were in so much pain that they couldn't bear to watch.
Qin Jinzhi didn't look at the two of them, but simply lowered the green plant so that Liu Yun could see it.
Where is Guo Nanzhen?
The couple were taken aback, and then Cao Xiuqin said, "Our daughter has suddenly fallen ill and is bedridden today. She is afraid she cannot come to see the princess. We wonder if our daughter has offended the princess. Please rest assured, princess, once she recovers, my husband and I will definitely take her to your residence to apologize!"
Qin Jinzhi scoffed, "Suddenly falling seriously ill and being bedridden—I'm tired of hearing that excuse."
The people in this capital have no originality whatsoever; they keep coming up with the same excuse over and over again.
The Guo couple were taken aback, their faces showing embarrassment. "Princess, our daughter has suddenly fallen seriously ill. The physician said it is contagious and she should not see anyone, lest it harm your noble health. Please forgive us, Princess."
Qin Jinzhi looked down at the two men, her arm resting on the saddle. "The person I want to see, even if he's dead, I'll dismember him. Who gave you two lackeys the right to be my masters?"
The couple's faces turned red. Although the Guo family was not a proper clan, they were still well-known in the capital. Princess Jinzhi cursed them as dog slaves!
This is a blatant disregard for the Guo family's dignity.
Besides, they can't let Guo Nanzhen see Qin Jinzhi!
"Princess, please don't make things difficult for me. My daughter really shouldn't be seen by anyone today."
Qin Jinzhi's smile vanished, and she coldly stared at the couple. "Search!"
Hu Aman and the others immediately headed towards the inner courtyard of the Guo residence.
Guo Xiude was immediately panicked. "Princess! What are you doing! Even if you are of noble birth, you cannot force your way into my residence! I am an official, and if you do this, I can report you to the Censorate!"
Qin Jinzhi laughed heartily after hearing this, "Alright, from now on, one of you two can live. The one who lives can go to the Censorate and sue me. Now tell me, who lives and who dies."
She led Liu Yun toward the Guo couple, slowly drawing her sword from her waist with one hand.
Guo Xiude and his wife were terrified. Everyone said that Qin Jinzhi was a reincarnated evil spirit who was bringing disaster to the world. She was smiling, but the sword in her hand was anything but a joke!
The sword tip was pointed at the two of them, only inches away.
Qin Jinzhi's smiling face sent a chill down the spines of the Guo couple.
What she said next devastated the couple.
"If you two cannot choose after three numbers, then you will both die."
The couple trembled uncontrollably from their fear.
Qin Jinzhi was truly so lawless that she forcibly broke into an official's residence and threatened to kill him at the slightest provocation!
In the instant the couple were stunned, they heard Qin Jinzhi shout, "Three!"
!
Isn't it three numbers?
"I choose her to die!"
"I choose him to die!"
The Guo couple immediately pointed at each other.
Hearing the other person's words, his eyes were filled with resentment and malice!
Seeing this, Qin Jinzhi laughed even more heartily, "Husbands and wives are like birds in the same forest; when disaster strikes, they fly away separately. You two are a perfect match, a match made in heaven. How could I bear to separate you? Why don't I send you both to the underworld to be a ghost couple?"
"Princess, spare me! Princess, spare me!"
The two of them had no time to think about anything else and could only kneel down and beg for mercy.
Just then, Hu Aman's voice rang out, "Princess! The person has been found!"
A woman with slightly disheveled hair and red eyes followed Hu Aman quickly towards them.
"Princess, those two scoundrels tied this young lady to the bed with her hands and feet bound together. It's not some sudden illness at all!"
Qin Jinzhi squinted at Guo Nanzhen and asked, "You didn't report to the Thousand Birds Division today because they prevented you from doing so?"
Guo Nanzhen had never met Qin Jinzhi, but everyone in the capital knew that the Thousand Birds Bureau was now under the control of this princess.
She immediately knelt on the ground and said, "This commoner, Guo Nanzhen, greets the Princess. Today I was going to report to the Thousand Birds Bureau, but my stepmother tied me up without any explanation and forbade me from going to the Thousand Birds Bureau."
Guo Nanzhen was tormented by Cao Xiuqin as she grew up, who planned to use her as a concubine for her foolish nephew. In the backyard, the marriages of the women were all decided by the stepmother, and Qianniaosi was her last resort.
Unexpectedly, she passed the test and was even granted an official position by His Majesty.
With an official position, she could make her own decisions about marriage and no longer have to suffer at the hands of her stepmother.
However, her father showed no joy upon learning that she had been granted an official position.
In his eyes, it was resentment and jealousy!
A mere girl can actually reach the same rank as him. From now on, everyone in the capital will laugh at Guo Xiude for being inferior to his own daughter!
Therefore, Cao Xiuqin tying her up was all with Guo Xiude's tacit approval.
Qin Jinzhi said with amusement, "Madam Guo, you've got some nerve."
Cao Xiuqin quickly said, "Princess, spare me! It's not my fault! It was all my master's doing! He ordered me to keep Nanzhen at home. He said that if Nanzhen doesn't show up today, she will be dismissed from her post for negligence even if she goes to the Thousand Birds Bureau!"
Guo Xiude immediately slapped her across the face. “You poisonous woman, how dare you talk nonsense, Princess! It was all this poisonous woman’s doing. She was afraid that if my daughter had an official position, she would no longer be under her control, so she tied my daughter up to prevent her from becoming an official.”
Having lived a life of luxury for so many years, this was the first time Cao Xiuqin had been beaten. She immediately pounced on Guo Xiude and started tearing at him, yelling, "Guo Xiude! Are you even human! You're just jealous of your daughter!"
Guo Nanzhen's face was full of sarcasm after hearing this, saying that everyone said the methods used in the inner quarters were secretive.
But her father knew perfectly well what was going on; he just pretended not to see it.
Qin Jinzhi looked at Guo Nanzhen, "Guo, what do you think should be done with these two?"
