"I also did not expect to meet Miss Mu here. Back then, you claimed to be a member of the Han family. I was looking for you!" Tan Ba Wang's gaze became more and more sinister, and in his heart, he wished that he could tear Mu Yunyao into ten thousand pieces. Back then on the streets of Huai An City, she used an oil-paper umbrella to beat him up and allowed him to rest in bed for a month. What made him even more furious was that ever since she kicked him in the groin, he discovered that he could no longer be humane! He had invited a famous doctor to treat him, yet there was not even a sliver of improvement. It was as if ...
How could he not feel blood dripping from his heart!
"Did I say that? I've been busy recently, so my memory is getting worse. Why can't I remember saying that I'm from the Han Family? "I wonder what kind of advice Young Master Tan would like to give me?"
Tan Ba Wang sneered: "You stole my concubine, and even asked me why I'm here? Lady Mu's ability to act dumb is truly admirable."
"There are many concubines in the Tan Mansion, but I haven't had the chance to see any of them. Besides, we don't lack servants to serve us. Why are you trying to steal your concubine?" How could he become a servant in her mouth? Although he did not think much of his concubines, hearing Mu Yunyao's words, he felt as if someone had poked his lung, "Miss Mu, please don't play with me.
That's a trick, hand that Cai Qing over! "
"The concubine you're talking about is Qing?"
"That's right, this morning, I already signed a contract with that Cai Qing. She volunteered to stay in my mansion as my concubine, and with Mausoleum City's Ice Lady Liu as my witness, I was just about to discuss how to bring her back to Huai An City, so you sent people to take her away. I want to ask you, what is this logic?"
Mu Yunyao frowned.
In order to make the contract come true, he had even found the ice person. Now that the evidence was conclusive, he wanted to see how Mu Yunyao would argue!
"What, you have nothing to say? The crime of stealing someone else's room for no reason, according to the laws of the imperial court, is to be exiled for eight hundred kilometers. Mu Yunyao, if you kowtow and admit your wrongs now, I might let you off! "
The surrounding commoners were discussing amongst themselves. They didn't even know who Tan Bayang was, but who didn't know of Mu Yunyao? Now that they heard that she had stolen someone else's concubine, they all couldn't help but be curious. If a man stealing someone else's concubine was acceptable, then what was Miss Mu doing robbing a concubine?
There are already people who can't stop themselves from standing out to speak up for Mu Yunyao."Sir, you better not spout nonsense. Why would Miss Mu steal your concubine for no reason? There must be a misunderstanding."
"What kind of misunderstanding could we possibly have? The person who went to snatch the person was her subordinate, the one called Liu Liang. He even injured two of my followers." Men, quickly bring him up so that everyone can see how tragic my two followers are! "
As he said this, two people were lifted up into the air. Their faces were purple and covered in blood. Lying on the shelf, they wailed in agony, causing many people around them to take two steps back, not daring to look directly at them.
Tan Ba Wang's face was filled with anger."Mu Yunyao, you're simply too unreasonable. Quickly hand over my concubine, or else I'll immediately go report it to the magistrate and have the county magistrate arrest you and interrogate you."
Someone whispered to Mu Yunyao, "Miss Mu, there's no need to get into a fight over a concubine. If that Cai Qing is really in your house, you might as well hand her over to her. This is all signed agreement, she's still someone else's person ..."
However, Mu Yunyao shook her head slightly."Many thanks to this Young Master. It's just that the matter wasn't like Tan Polang had said it would be." Seeing Mu Yunyao shake her head, Tan Ba Wang laughed sinisterly in his heart, his eyes brimming with the joy of revenge: "Mu Yunyao, you took so long to hand the person over. Could it be that something happened to my concubine in your house? I remember, before, Qing told me that his little brother Nan'er
If I accidentally ran into you, don't tell me you have a grudge against me, and want to take revenge on both Qing Xin and Nan'er? "
"That's right. Miss Mu selflessly taught the embroidery needle technique to help the girl from Mausoleum City. How could she possibly be that malicious person that you speak of?" It was hard to tell a person's true nature from a person's, but who knew if she was seeking fame or not? "If it wasn't because of guilt, why did you not hand the person over and forcibly take someone else's concubine?" Tan Polang pretended to be surprised and said, "You didn't really do anything, did you? Quick hand him over
If you continue to shirk, I will bring my men to break in and find them! "
Steward Qin immediately led his men to guard the door.
Tan Ba Wang sneered. Seeing Mu Yunyao like this, she was sure that Qing Xin had died from taking poison, which was why she didn't hand over the woman. She became even more arrogant: "Mu Yunyao, do you think that you can cover up your crimes just because of this? "Let me tell you, I've already sent someone to report this to the government. Today, I must seek justice for Qing Tu!"
As he was speaking, the crowd parted, and County Governor Zhao, dressed in his official uniform, walked in with his official."I heard that a lawsuit has been filed here, so I'm here to take a look. Miss Mu, what exactly is going on?"
"Greetings Lord Zhao. I only brought Miss Caiqing and her two younger brothers to the house to recuperate, so this Young Master Tan came knocking. He wanted to frame me for stealing his concubine and secretly accusing me of murdering someone. I'm not sure what exactly happened."
County Magistrate Zhao turned to Tan Polang, "Who are you? Why are you causing trouble here?"
"Greetings Lord Zhao. I am Tan Ba Wang, the young master of the Rainbow Moon Pavilion. My concubine, Cai Qing, has been captured by Mu Yunyao. I don't know whether she is dead or alive, so I went to the government office to report to them. I hope that Lord Zhao can handle this matter impartially."
Magistrate Zhao frowned, "No matter who it is, I will handle the matter impartially. Tell me the details of the case."
Seeing that County Governor Zhao was about to question him on the street, more and more commoners gathered around. Due to the presence of the officials, they could only silently watch, not daring to make a ruckus. Tan Ba Wang immediately recounted the incident vividly, especially when he heard that Mu Yunyao had sent people to capture Qing and Ah Mao. His expression was filled with righteous indignation. Liu Bing then stood up and testified for Tan Ba Wang, saying that Qing had indeed been hand-printed and signed the written agreement, voluntarily becoming Tan Ba Wang's
In my room.
The two lackeys who were beaten up made those who heard cry even more so. Those who heard the words shed tears, causing many people to feel endless sympathy for them.
Even after hearing this, County Magistrate Zhao's expression was still solemn, making it difficult to discern."Miss Mu, is the matter really as Tan Ba Wang said?"
Mu Yunyao shook her head slightly."I'm not too sure about the specifics. Let Qing Xin explain herself."
"What?" Tan Polang couldn't help but cry out. According to their plans, wouldn't Qing Gang commit suicide by taking poison?
Mu Yunyao looked over, a trace of ridicule flashing across her lips."Why? It seems that Young Master Tan is disappointed that Caiqing is still alive?"
"How could that be? I'm just afraid that you'll secretly threaten her ..." "I just heard from Sir Tan that you and Lady Caiqing are in love with each other, and you specially came all the way from Huai An City just to meet her. With such deep feelings, how could she possibly harm you because of a few threats?" Mu Yunyao turned to look at Jinqiao.
"Mother, please come out." "Yes, miss."
