The Favoured Medical Princess: 273 shows weakness

www.lnmao.org, the fastest update to the latest chapter of Sheng Chong's Daughter-in-law: The Medical Concubine!

In the imperial study room, after listening to Wang Jing's report, the emperor's face was so gloomy that he could almost shed water, and he did not speak for a long time.

Wang Jing reported everything he had investigated to the emperor. Not only did Aunt Ye sue Kaiyuan Pawnshop that day, he also told in detail that Kaiyuan Pawnshop was originally owned by King Nan of the old town, and that it was When was it turned into a pawnshop and the manager was changed? How many loan sharks had been put out over the years and how many people had been harmed... these things made even Wang Jing's heart beat faster when he talked about them.

Wang Jing secretly wiped his sweat and added: "Your Majesty, that day the maid of Princess Zhennan went to inspect the property, and only then did she discover such evil deeds. In the end, the pawnshop owner had to admit I acted on the words of Princess Zhennan, and all of this was done by Princess Zhennan."

As he spoke, Wang Jing did not add his own speculation, but bowed and waited for the emperor's instructions.

The emperor frowned slightly and asked: "Are you saying that the Crown Princess also ordered people to go to Huaiyuan County?"

"Yes. Your Majesty." Wang Jing replied, "If not for this, no one in Huaiyuan County would know that it was Princess Zhennan who secretly stole the prince's property."

The emperor was silent for a while, then waved his hand to let him back down.

The emperor walked back and forth in the imperial study for several times, looking incomprehensible, and finally said to Eunuch Liu: "Go to Fengluan Palace!" With that, he strode out of the imperial study.

Eunuch Liu breathed a sigh of relief and followed quickly.

In Fengluan Palace, the queen learned that the emperor was coming and came out of the palace to welcome the emperor in. The two came to Dongnuan Pavilion and sat down on the Arhat bed across the table.

After the palace maid served tea to the emperor, she respectfully stepped aside. After drinking a cup of tea, the emperor talked about Wang Jing’s report just now. The more he talked, the angrier he became, and finally he said angrily: "Queen, if I hadn't personally ordered someone to investigate this, I'm afraid A Yi would have suffered this bad reputation in vain. After all, Princess Zhennan is simply lawless. The emperor dared to openly seek to seize A Yi's property and ruin his reputation. , I don’t know how they bully A Yi in southern Xinjiang!"

The Queen's face was as dark as water. After pondering for a moment, she softly advised: "Your Majesty, please calm down. Don't let your anger break the dragon's body because of such a villain." After a pause, he added, "Thankfully, this It’s the first time someone has discovered it, so it’s a blessing among misfortunes.”

"Misfortune is misfortune, there is no such thing as great luck." The emperor shook his head and said, "This King of Zhennan is really confused. Ayi is his eldest son and the eldest son of the palace. He actually allowed Princess Zhennan to be like this. Practice it!"

The most shameless thing about this little Fang family is that not only did he take possession of the property and money, but he also ruined Xiao Yi's reputation. He did so without leaving any room at all! This also frightened the emperor.

What a venomous woman!

"Fortunately, Your Majesty, you know this, so you will naturally make the decision for A Yi." The Queen said again, but she was a little dissatisfied: There is an old saying among the people, where there is a stepmother, there is a stepfather, Xiao Fang's day The pillow wind was blowing, King Zhennan was not the only son of Ayi... thinking about it, a complex look flashed in the queen's eyes, she quickly glanced at the emperor, and her expression remained as usual.

"This matter is indeed hateful." The emperor said, "In the final analysis, I don't know how much of A Yi's property this little Fang family has usurped. If only this Kaiyuan Pawnshop fell, that's it. If..." He did not finish his words. , instead pondered for a moment, and then said meaningfully: "...Furthermore, I am still a little confused about what Wang Jing just reported."

The queen was stunned and said without knowing why: "What does the emperor mean?"

After thinking for a moment, the emperor said: "Queen, please ask someone to call Yue Yatou into the palace. Some things are better to be asked in person."

"Yes, Your Majesty." The Queen didn't ask any further questions. She bowed and gave Nanny Li a wink, and Nanny Li immediately took the order and left.

After talking about these troublesome things, the emperor gradually calmed down and said with a smile: "Queen, yesterday I went to the study, and it happened that Taifu Liu was asking Xiaowu, Brother Qing and Brother Xin to write As for policy theory, the title is 'How to govern a country.'" The Qing brother mentioned by the emperor is Jiang Mingqing of the Jiang family, and is now one of the companions of the fifth prince.

Seeing the emperor's relaxed expression, the queen secretly breathed a sigh of relief, covered her mouth and said with a smile: "I remember that 'how to govern a country' was the topic of the policy discussion in the last spring, right?"

"Exactly, the queen has a good memory." The emperor nodded and said, "I also checked it specifically and found that Xiaowu's writing was good." As he said that, the emperor's expression showed a trace of satisfaction. The fifth prince clearly put forward eight strategies for governing the country in his policy statement: equalizing land, selecting officials, eliminating redundancy, saving expenses, and opening up land, thinning levies, making profits, and prohibiting luxury. Although the specific ideas are still immature, they also show that It turns out that he was very attentive whether he was reading or observing the sentiments of the people.

The emperor continued: "Taifu Liu also said that Xiaowu and the others are already reading the seventy biographies of "Historical Records", and Xiaowu is considered diligent at his age. No wonder Meng's mother moved three times in ancient times, Xiaowu, Qing Dynasty Brother and Brother Xin both work very hard in their studies. It can be seen that my reading companion has really not found fault with Xiao Wu." After a pause, the emperor warned him again, "Empress, Xiao Wu is weak, so you have to persuade him. Pay attention to the balance between work and rest. You should read this book, but don’t get tired or sick."

For the emperor to say these words was the greatest affirmation for the fifth prince. The queen was naturally beaming with joy and said with a smile: "Don't worry, Your Majesty, I will instruct the maids serving Xiao Wu to pay more attention." Yes. The emperor praised Qing Qing so much that I must tell my elder brother and sister-in-law exactly what he said, so as to save them from saying that Qing is too playful and not interested in studying, and that they should tell him early. For marriage matters, find a wife to take care of him."

The emperor was also told that his eyes were filled with smiles, but he remembered another thing, and said meaningfully: "Speaking of which, Ying Lin will soon owe me a glass of matchmaking wine." The Ying Lin the emperor mentioned was the queen. His elder brother is the eldest son of Duke Enguo.

The emperor's words confused the queen. Could it be that the emperor wanted to grant a marriage to Jiang Mingqing?

The emperor saw the queen's doubts and smiled: "I received a military report from Northern Xinjiang early this morning... More than half a month ago, Jung Ge'er led a vanguard to quietly bypass Changlian Mountain, and a They burned down half of Chang Di's granary at the foot of Changlian Mountain, forcing Chang Di's army to retreat two hundred miles due to lack of food and grass. This is really a great achievement!" As he spoke, he looked at the Queen with a smile. , "Queen, it seems that your natal family will have a wedding soon!"

When the queen heard this, she was naturally beaming with joy. The emperor's words not only meant that he agreed to the marriage, but also meant that the war with Chang Di that had lasted for more than half a year was finally coming to an end. This is really a great joy!

After the emperor and empress chatted and laughed for a while, and had lunch together, Nangong Yue came into the palace following the instructions.

The emperor pondered for a moment and avoided the inner room. Only then did the queen have someone call Nangong Yue in.

Nangong Yue followed the palace attendants in in a dignified manner and saluted with the most standard palace etiquette. The queen gave her a seat and dismissed most of the palace attendants. Soon, only the two of them and Li were left. Mammy.

As soon as Nangong Yueyue sat down, the queen said straight to the point: "Girl Yue, did you know that A Yi was impeached recently?"

"Impeachment?" Nangong Yue's face suddenly turned pale, and her lips trembled slightly as she said, "Could it be that something happened in southern Xinjiang? Ayi, Ayi..."

Seeing that she had misunderstood, the queen hurriedly comforted: "Girl Yue, don't worry, it's not a matter of southern Xinjiang." Seeing that she breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this, the queen continued, "Girl Yue, the censor is impeaching What's more, A Yi secretly borrowed money and forced people to live in ruins. Do you know about this?"

Nangong Yue's eyes narrowed slightly. From what she knew, the Queen had never asked about government affairs. Now, there was only one possibility that she would be specifically asked about impeachment.

Thinking about it, the emperor’s investigation has already yielded results.

Nangong Yue's thoughts were racing, but she sighed slightly with a worried look on her face and said: "...Mother, Yue'er doesn't know what to say."

"In other words, you know it?"

The queen's expression became serious. She still remembered that the emperor mentioned to her after lunch that Nangong Yue had sent someone to Huaiyuan County. Although the emperor didn't say anything explicitly, the queen had been married to him for many years, so she naturally knew that he was suspicious of Nangong Yue.

"Your Majesty..." Nangong Yue lowered her eyes and said helplessly, "Before A Yi left the capital, he told Yue'er that his grandfather left him some properties, namely some Zhuangzi, shops and Jiangnan When her grandfather passed away, A Yi was still young, so these properties had always been managed by stewards, and the accounts were only reported once a year. Yue'er thought that before A Yi came back, she would read all these account books. , take care of the property. But at this glance, I can see the problem. Madam, you don’t know, this account book is full of errors. The Liuhe Village on the outskirts of the royal capital has only sent two or three dollars of silver each year in the past two years. One hundred taels, how is this possible?"

The queen looked calm and asked: "What then?"

"Yueer thought that the slave was bullying the master, so she took people to Liuhezhuang in person. Unexpectedly..." Nangong Yue bit her lower lip and said, "The steward of Liuhezhuang is not only It was Zhen Zhen who paid the money, and also raised the rent privately, turning the 25% that his grandfather had set back then into 50%! Although Yue'er is not involved in farming, she is also a girl raised by Nangong Mansion, so of course she knows about this 50%. Living on rent will make it difficult for people to live. Over the years, the tenants of Liuhezhuang have not only been unable to survive, but it is not uncommon for them to sell their sons and daughters."

Girls who come from wealthy families will never only know about romance, especially those who are the direct descendants. They will be taught by their mothers from an early age, and take care of household and general affairs. They will be familiar with accounting books and industries such as Zhuangzi's shop that can produce every year. The income, how the income will be affected, etc. are all clear. The more aristocratic a girl is, the more she knows about this.

This is one of the reasons why wealthy families are reluctant to marry concubines, because no aunt-in-law would be willing to teach a concubine seriously and patiently and treat her as her own.

The queen nodded clearly, indicating for her to continue.

Nangong Yue's voice couldn't help but feel a little indignant, and said: "My queen, such a slave is bullying the master. Yue'er became anxious at that time, **** the steward and sold him. He also asked my dowry to take charge of the house for a few days. Wait for A Yi to come back before making a decision. Although it is inappropriate for Yue'er to interfere with her husband's property as soon as she gets married, A Yi is far away in southern Xinjiang. If she waits for him to come back to deal with this matter, the tenants of Liuhezhuang will not even be able to do this. I’m afraid I won’t have a good time this year.”

As a mistress, there is nothing wrong with punishing a naughty slave.

"At that time, the steward who was sold by Yue'er kept saying that he was under the orders of his mother and concubine, but Yue'er didn't believe it at all. If they could use A Yi's name to bully the tenants, they could also use the name of their mother and concubine to bully the tenants. To escape punishment in the name of others!... Yue'er thought that the matter would be settled like this, but a few days ago, when Yue'er went to Liuhe Village again, she was assassinated."

"Assassination?" The queen's tone was slightly raised, and at the same time, Nangong Yue noticed a slight noise coming from inside. She remained calm, but said with a trace of fear on her face, "...Fortunately, Yue'er brought Nothing happened because of the guards, and Yue'er later sent someone to the Yamen to report it."

"This is simply unreasonable under the emperor's feet!" the queen was angry.

In just a moment, the queen already had countless speculations in her mind: Nangong Yue had just punished Diao Nu, and was assassinated in the blink of an eye. This really can't stop people from thinking too much!

"My dear, Yue'er only dares to tell you... Yue'er has actually suspected it, but she doesn't dare to think too much." Nangong Yue said with a wry smile, "Among the properties left by my grandfather, there are only two near the royal capital. Zhuangzi and a grain store, because of the incident in Liuhe Village, Yue'er asked the maid to quietly go to Kaiyuan Food Store, but unexpectedly, trouble happened again. The maid came back and told Yue'er that she went to Tianyuan Street I couldn't find the grain store, and when I was about to inquire, I met an old woman who was forced to sell her granddaughter. How could such a barbaric thing happen in such a clear world, under the emperor's feet, that the maid took the old woman on her own initiative? Reporting to the official, she never expected that later on, the steward would actually say that the pawnshop was rebuilt by the concubine using Ayi's grain store... If it was Liuhezhuang alone, Yue'er would really believe that it was the slaves who were messing around, but... Even this Kaiyuan Food Store is like this, how can it not make Yue'er panic and make more speculations."

Nangong Yue's half-truth and half-false words convinced the queen. She sighed and nodded: "I'm sorry that I'm wronging you."

"Empress." Nangong Yue looked at the queen anxiously and said, "Is Ayi really going to be impeached by the imperial envoy for usury? But I really don't care about Ayi's affairs. She is obviously the mother-in-law..." said At this point, Nangong Yue was hesitant to speak, but finally she gritted her teeth and said, "Mother, all parents in the world are good. Yue'er cannot accuse her mother and concubine of how she behaves, but she cannot let A Yi carry such a burden in vain. Such a bad reputation! Yue'er refuses to accept it!"

The queen waved to her, called her to her side, and said comfortingly: "Girl Yue, don't worry. Although the imperial emissary impeached her, the emperor will definitely find out and won't be innocent. Yi."

Nangong Yue forced a smile and said, "Thank you, empress!"

At this time, a palace maid came out from the inner room, possessed herself and said a few words in the queen's ear. The queen slightly nodded her head and asked: "You just said that there are two Zhuangzi here in the capital, what about that?" What about the other one now?"

"The other name is Bailinzhuang." Nangong Yue said with a wry smile, "Yue'er originally planned to go there before the year to reward the tenants with some rice, grain and meat for a good New Year, but now... Some don’t dare to go. If something happens again, the mother-in-law will probably blame Yue’er for not knowing what’s right... But if she doesn’t go and take a look, Yue’er will feel uneasy in her heart.”

"Then go."

"Queen?" Nangong Yue blinked and looked at her.

The queen looked at her and said, "I ask Aunt Wen to go with you and make the decision for you."

Nangong Yue’s eyes lit up and she quickly stood up, “Thank you so much, Madam. Then Yue’er will go tomorrow!”

After saying some more words, the queen brought tea, and Nangong Yue hurriedly got up and left.

The emperor came out of the inner room. He heard the conversation clearly.

Originally, the emperor felt that the incident was too coincidental, and he could not help but wonder if Nangong Yue had done it intentionally. However, after hearing those words, he was completely relieved.

This is indeed a coincidence. The fault does not lie with Nangong Yue, but because Princess Zhennan is too shameless!

"Your Majesty." The queen stood up. Her attitude was consistent with the emperor's. She said, "What Princess Zhennan has done is so shameless. She is still a noble princess. A concubine is a concubine. No matter how high your status is, you can’t lift it up.”

The emperor came to sit down next to the queen and said, "Is this just the work of Princess Zhennan?"

If it were just this Kaiyuan Pawnshop, it could be said that Xiao Fang made her own decision, but now it seems that she took advantage of the passing of the old town Nan Wang and Xiao Yi was still too young to take care of the general affairs. All, at least most of the properties left behind by the old King of Zhennan!

The emperor snorted coldly and said, "How could a housewife do this without someone to support her? She has not been discovered for nearly ten years... Perhaps the King of Zhennan already knew about it, or even tacitly approved of it. Queen, this matter is not as simple as it seems on the surface. I originally thought that King Zhennan just disliked A Yi, but now it seems that the relationship between father and son may sooner or later become incompatible."

Being a king is about balance.

If the father is strong and the son is weak, he will naturally support the son. But if the son is strong and the father is weak, no matter how much he feels sorry for Xiao Yi, he will still find ways to weaken the prince for the sake of monarchy.

Xiao Yi has had a series of great victories in southern Xinjiang recently. Although it is a good thing, it also makes him have some concerns.

What is happening now is not just the stepmother seizing the birth.

Although Nangong Yue only knew a little bit about the emperor's balancing strategy, she knew that the emperor was suspicious. The more successful Xiao Yi was in southern Xinjiang, the easier it would be for the emperor to be jealous, so she would choose to This opportunity to reveal Xiao Fang's true face was not only to express the bad breath, but also to dispel the emperor's fear and doubts, so that Xiao Yi would not have too difficult a time after returning to the royal capital.

So, she must be very cautious and make no mistakes.

Bailinzhuang is the next focus. Those damaging moves made by Xiao Fang undoubtedly gave Xiao Yi and her a God-given opportunity! Fortunately, the queen took the initiative to ask Nanny Wen to go with her, otherwise, it would have cost her a lot more effort.

After returning to the palace, Nangong Yue made some preparations and took Nanny Wen to Bailin Village the next day.

In addition to the escorts, the emperor and the empress actually asked Nanny Wen to bring four guards out of the palace out of some unknown consideration.

The bodyguards and escorts all rode horses. In addition, there were two carriages on which were placed some rice and cloth to be rewarded to the tenants.

The group left the city early in the morning and soon arrived at the boundary of Bailin Village.

This is a village that looks very comfortable and quiet. According to the records in the account book, Bailin Village employs a total of fifty-two tenants, and its income this year totals 200 taels of silver.

The carriage stopped steadily on the side of the road, and Nangong Yue ordered Lily: "Go down and inquire."

Lily responded and jumped out of the carriage. Nangong Yue smiled helplessly at Grandma Wen and said, "Mother is laughing. The last time I went to Liuhe Village, I was killed because of my carelessness. The person in charge there thought he was going to cause trouble, so he was almost kicked out with sticks. Thanks to the loyal protection of the two maids around him."

Nanny opened her eyes in disbelief when she heard that a noble concubine was driven away by the steward when she went to her village. This, this is too bold... Grandma Wen took a deep breath and said quickly: "Your Majesty, please do so."

I sat in the carriage and waited for a while, but instead of waiting for Lily, a strange boy came.

The young man was only about thirteen or fourteen years old. He was a little thin, but his skin was fair. Although he looked frightened, his handsome face could not be concealed. As he ran, he looked behind him in fear, and saw someone not far away. Three or four young and strong men were chasing him.

The messy footsteps sounded harsh in the quiet surroundings.

When the young man saw the carriage here, his eyes lit up and he immediately ran over, shouting for help: "Help me!"

I don’t know who is coming, but the guards gathered around the carriage, with their hands on their swords, on guard.

"Prince Princess, please go take a look." Seeing Nangong Yue nodding, Baihui jumped out of the carriage and asked the young man, "Who are you?"

The young man shouted in panic: "Sister, help me...I..."

"Who comes here to mind your own business!"

While he was talking, those people who looked like guards had already chased him out. A man with a beard wanted to arrest the young man without saying a word. Baihui stepped forward, raised his hand to block it, and said, "What on earth did this man commit?" Sin?"

The bearded man looked her up and down and said, "We are ordered to capture a runaway slave. It would be better for the girl to stay out of her own business."

"I'm not a runaway slave!" the young man said loudly, "I was abducted from other places by them, and I don't want to stay here!"

The bearded man shouted impatiently: "Take it back!"

The remaining people swarmed forward, all trying to catch the young man.

Baihui snorted coldly and immediately protected the young man behind her. Just as she was about to take action, she heard Nangong Yue's voice from the carriage, "Ask if they are from Bailin Village."

"Yes." Baihui responded and looked at them coldly, "My master asked, are you from Bailin Village?"

A few people couldn't help but look at each other and looked at the carriage.

Nangong Yue did not ride in a chariot on this trip, but one of the several carriages prepared in the palace. Although it was not as luxurious as her chariot, it was still obvious at a glance that the people in it were not rich. expensive.

Remembering what was going on in the village, the bearded leader seemed to understand a little bit, and asked tentatively: "Is your master here looking for someone?"

"So what."

When Bearded Bearded heard this, he felt relieved and said, "If you are looking for someone, then go back. Not just anyone can come here." Then, he gave instructions to the others, "Bring the person back."

Baihui sneered and asked, "Then who can come?"

"Of course it's a man." The bearded man smiled with an evil spirit and said, "If the lady inside is here to find my husband, she'd better leave early. We've seen this kind of thing too many times, don't wait until then I was embarrassed and went back crying."

Nanny Wen in the carriage turned pale when she heard these dirty words. She quickly looked at Nangong Yue and saw that he had a straight face and said in a cold voice: "You are outrageous. Come on, hit me!"

Nangong Yue's voice spread outside, and the accompanying guards immediately drew their swords.

"Leave alive."

Seeing that they dared to take action, Beard and the others were all in disbelief, especially the sharp light of the sword, which made them tremble in fear. Then they heard Beard shouting: "Master Qiao is inside, you guys How dare you take action?"

"Master Qiao?"

Nangong Yue and Nanny Wen looked at each other, and Nanny Wen thought to herself: Could someone who can be called "Sir" be an official of the imperial court?

Nangong Yue said coldly: "Why don't you dare to take action? Someone is coming..."

"Wait a minute, is it Mr. Min or Mr. Zhang..."

Seeing the cold light of the long sword flashing in front of his eyes, the bearded man quickly shouted: "Don't, don't do it. Madam, who are you looking for? Go and call someone over. Maybe you The adult I'm looking for didn't come today... Isn't this a waste of time and energy?"

Baihui stood aside and asked, "Hey, what about Mr. Qiao and Mr. Zhang? What are they doing here?"

The bearded man blurted out: "Of course I'm here to have fun... Little madam, you'd better go back early. You have to let your husband know that he will be unhappy, and you will be the one who suffers."

When I heard that Grandma was shocked and angry, she already had speculations in her mind.

Nangong Yue glanced at her and saw that the fire was almost done, so she said bluntly: "Baihui, why are you still standing there, didn't you hear my order?!"

"Yes!" Baihui responded and waved: "Up!"

The guards all rushed forward.

"You will be fined if you don't drink the toast." The bearded man was also annoyed when he saw this, and said, "Don't blame me for not reminding you...ah!" Before he could say anything, a sharp sword penetrated his shoulder. , the blood instantly dyed the skirt red.

The guards of the Zhennan Palace were all specially left by Xiao Yi when he left. Not only were they loyal, but they were all capable of standing up to ten.

Although the guards of Bailin Village are powerful, they are far inferior to them. In just a moment, they were subdued one by one. Several of them were injured, but they were not fatal. They were just escorted in a languid manner. He fell to his knees with a look of horror on his face.

Some people do it when they are told, and they do it so cruelly? !

The bearded man endured the pain and shouted: "Do you know who the master here is? He is so bold..."

"Hit!"

Nangong Yue gave an order, and a guard came forward and kicked him hard. This kick hit the wound on his shoulder. The bearded man fell to the ground, grinning in pain and unable to speak. .

The young man breathed a sigh of relief when he saw this. The curtain blocked the carriage. He only knew that there was a girl inside, and he said gratefully: "Thank you, sister, for saving me!"

Baihui asked on behalf of Nangong Yue: "Who are you and why do they want to arrest you?"

"I..."

As soon as the young man spoke, Lily hurried back, without even looking at the subdued people, and said angrily: "Madam, this place is simply outrageous..." Her face flushed. Turning red, he said, "They, they actually opened a private brothel here!"

Private brothels, as the name suggests, are places similar to brothels, but they are not brothels, but a place for pleasure and pleasure specially provided for men of high status. According to the imperial decree, officials are not allowed to have **** with prostitutes. There are always envoys in the royal capital keeping a close eye on her, so officials will naturally not violate the rules. But on the outskirts of the royal capital, some people opened such private brothels. Most of these places have beautiful scenery and elegant decoration. They are more like an outhouse than a private kiln.

There are many such private brothels in the suburbs of the royal capital, but after all, they are not on the market. It was simply unbelievable that the majestic Zhennan Palace wanted to use a private brothel to make profits. Nanny Wen, who was sitting in the carriage, was shocked and angry. She looked at Nangong Yue who looked in disbelief and really felt unfair for her.

As a royal concubine, when she wanted to inspect the property under her own name, she was not only beaten and killed, but she also had no idea that a well-behaved Zhuangzi was turned into a dirty private brothel.

Nangong Yue felt very calm. She knew about Bailin Village early in the morning. She had sent people to carefully investigate both Bailin Village and Kaiyuan Food Store. She was indeed furious at the time, but then she forced herself to calm down.

In contrast, Kaiyuan Food Store is more suitable for stirring up trouble, and Bailin Village is specially reserved to add fuel to the fire.

In order for the emperor to make the decision, Xiao Yi not only had to suffer a great "grievance", but also had to show weakness.

Nangong Yue closed her eyes, looking like she was deliberately holding back her anger. Then she raised her tone and asked, "What on earth is going on?!"

"Madam, I wanted to ask the tenants for news about Bailin Village, but I couldn't find them. So I sneaked in quietly to take a look, and that's when I discovered it." Lily said with some difficulty, "There are animals raised here. There are many prostitutes and hustlers."

"The lady in the carriage, this sister is right." The young man sobbed, "I was abducted from other places by people and sold to them... I am not a runaway slave."

“That’s unreasonable!” Nangong Yue slapped the table and said angrily, “Someone, go and find the manager here.”
