Three families hire each other, the mistress of the marquisate accidentally offends the treacherous

"Self-respect?"

Hearing these words, Dong Lingyan was confused.

The last word of self-respect directly provoked his anger.

He looked at Jiang Qingyue as if it was the first day he met her.

He used to be such a gentle and considerate person, how come... he is so strange now.

"Miss Jiang, what you mean is that you are not familiar with me?" He pronounced the word "not familiar" with an enunciated tone.

Jiang Qingyue answered directly: "Not familiar."

"Hehe." Dong Lingyan looked around, then took a step forward and was about to grab her hand, but was blocked by Ji Yunzhi.

"General Dong Ling is angry because of shame. I have only heard that General Dong Ling is cruel and ruthless and is a black-faced devil. Today I found out that General Dong Ling also has a habit of bullying women."

Dong Ling was impatient: "What does it have to do with you?"

"I am Miss Jiang's brother-in-law. What General Dongling said has nothing to do with me. But it is inappropriate for General Dongling to pester Miss Jiang like this.

"Miss Jiang has suffered a great crime this time, all because of General Dong Ling. If General Dong Ling feels guilty, he should send more gifts and apologize in person, instead of coming here without any rules and aggressively questioning whether Miss Jiang is familiar with you.

"General Dong Ling seems to take himself too seriously. The other mansions are naturally respectful to General Dong Ling, fearing that they will fall into his hands. But Miss Jiang may not want to see General Dong Ling. General Dong Ling's ruthlessness is misplaced."

Dong Lingyan looked at Ji Yunzhi:

"Then the Prime Minister had better pray that he doesn't fall into my hands."

"I am upright and have nothing to fear, so I don't need to pray. However, if General Dongling wants to frame me and force me to confess, I will not sit still and wait for death."

Ji Yunzhi faced him head-on, without any sign of fear or backing down, and it was as if he had "come at me" written on his face.

The two have always been at odds in the court, and their interactions in private are not friendly. Whenever there is a conflict during their rare meetings, the atmosphere is always tense.

"I didn't know that the Prime Minister was so sharp-tongued."

"General, you are too kind. I think I am not as good as you in this aspect. But if someone persecutes me, I should always fight for my rights. Miss Jiang is a weak woman, so she can only allow herself to be bullied by some powerful people, but I don't have such a good temper."

Lu Huan, who was standing by, wanted to clap her hands in applause after hearing these words. The Prime Minister was truly too kind. He was always mocking General Dong Ling, and every word he said was also to vent the young lady's anger.

With the Prime Minister backing the young lady up, she will never be wronged again.

Lu Huan could see it, but Dong Ling Yan did not notice it. He just thought that Ji Yunzhi was confronting him everywhere because of court affairs.

He suppressed his anger and didn't want to deal with Ji Yunzhi anymore. He turned to look at Jiang Qingyue:

"Does Miss Jiang think so too?"

Jiang Qingyue looked at him and smiled:

"I don't have any ideas, but I want to take good care of my body."

Speaking of this, Dong Lingyan's face turned pale and his anger was immediately extinguished.

He owes Jiang Qingyue.

He was sorry to Jiang Qingyue.

He paused for a moment and said to Jiang Qingyue:

"Then Miss Jiang, please have a good rest. I will come back another day."

Jiang Qingyue bowed and saluted: "When you come back, please let someone know so that I can be prepared.

"General, please consider the reputation of these women and don't let Qingyue become the target of public criticism. Qingyue can't bear it."

Hearing such distant words, Dong Lingyan looked at her face, which froze and turned blue and white, looking very ugly.

"nature."

Dong Lingyan bowed, without even looking at Ji Yunzhi, and turned away.

Ji Yunzhi looked at Dong Lingyan's leaving back with deep eyes.

He said to Jiang Qingyue: "Do you want me to leave two people to protect you?"

"Thank you, Prime Minister. It's not necessary. Under the emperor's feet, the world is clear and bright, and it's a place of kingly law." Jiang Qingyue refused bluntly.

"Okay, then you can buy a few stronger maids. If someone is unreasonable, you can send a maid to tie up his feet one by one."

Ji Yunzhi spoke seriously, but Jiang Qingyue knew who the "someone" in his words referred to. The picture instantly appeared in her mind, and she couldn't help laughing out loud.

Indeed, if Dong Lingyan came, guards would be useless, but a few maids and old women might be able to control him.

Ji Yunzhi is not a bookworm. Although he is a good student in front of his teachers and classmates, he always has many crooked and bad ideas in private, but all of them are useful.

When Ji Yunzhi saw her smile, the corners of his mouth unconsciously raised.

"Now that you're divorced, what are your plans for the future?"

"Let's get through this period first and take care of our body. No matter what you want to do, you need to have a healthy body."

"Yes."

Speaking of this, Ji Yunzhi thought of when he took her pulse yesterday.

"You don't have to be too sad about the child."

"There was a little bit at the beginning, but now there is none."

Ji Yunzhi looked at her, his lips trembling:

"I brought some medicinal herbs from the mansion to nourish your body. A miscarriage consumes a woman's energy and blood. If you don't take good care of yourself, you will develop a chronic disease."

"Thank you, Prime Minister. No need. I have everything here."

Ji Yunzhi sighed helplessly:

"From the moment I entered the house until now, you have called me 'Prime Minister' thirteen times. This is too formal. You can still call me brother-in-law."

"Master Prime Minister, you are joking. The Jiang family has already expelled me from the family tree. Jiang Peilan is naturally no longer my sister. It is really inappropriate for me to call the Prime Minister my brother-in-law.

"That……"

The word came to an abrupt end, and Ji Yunzhi was unable to say what he wanted to say.

"You should take a good rest and take good care of yourself. I will come back when the official document from the Ministry of Rites comes down."

"Thank you for your trouble, Prime Minister."

Ji Yunzhi left the main courtyard and walked outside.

As soon as I walked out of the gate of the villa, I saw Xue Feimu.

Xue Feimu didn't expect to see Ji Yunzhi here, and a look of surprise appeared on his face.

He hurried forward and bowed to Ji Yunzhi:

"I have met the Prime Minister."

Xue Feimu had a fawning look on his face and bent his waist.

He was half a head shorter than Ji Yunzhi, and was half-bent, looking a little hunched. Ji Yunzhi looked down at him:

"What are you doing here?"

"In reply to the Prime Minister, I am here to see Qingyue."

"Qingyue?" Ji Yunzhi obviously didn't like Xue Feimu's name for him.

"Didn't you two get divorced? Since you're divorced, you should call her Miss Jiang. Just call her by her maiden name, so as not to ruin her reputation."

Xue Feimu was puzzled, not knowing where the Prime Minister's anger came from, so he could only respond, "Yes."

"Since you're divorced, don't bother her anymore.

"If you come to her house like this, she will inevitably be talked about and gossiped about. It is really not what a real man should do."

Xue Feimu finally figured out what was going on and heard the protective tone in Ji Yunzhi's words.

The smile on my face grew wider, and I felt that it was absolutely the right decision for me to come here.

"No, no, the Prime Minister has misunderstood. The divorce agreement does not count. Although both parties have signed their names, it has not been approved by the public register, and there is no elder or official witness. Strictly speaking, it does not count."

Xue Feimu smiled apologetically.

This was the evidence he found after searching through all the books on etiquette, so it could not be wrong.

Ji Yunzhi raised his head and touched his chin, then looked at Xue Feimu:

"Oh, then let's go. You and I will go to the Jingzhao Yin Mansion together."

"Ah, what are you going to do at the Jingzhao Yin government office?"

Xue Feimu was stunned and didn't react until he saw Ji Yunzhi had already boarded the carriage of the Prime Minister's Mansion.

He didn't dare to hesitate and hurried to catch up.

No matter what he does, since the Prime Minister has spoken, he has to obey and do it.

As Jiang Qingyue's husband, since the Prime Minister recognizes his wife's sister, he will naturally recognize his sister-in-law's husband as well.

Xue Feimu thought happily in his heart, and walked quickly to catch up with Ji Yunzhi's carriage. He ran all the way, panting, and finally arrived at the Jingzhao Yin government office.

Seeing Ji Yunzhi walk straight into the government office gate, he hurriedly followed him in.

At this time, Lord Wang, the Jingzhao Yin, was taking a nap in the back hall.

The yamen runner in front of him came to report in a hurry, which frightened him and he started to scold him:

"What's wrong? What's wrong? Is the sky falling? If you have anything to say, please tell me slowly. We are under the feet of the emperor. How can you be so panicked?"

Lord Wang picked up the teacup on the table, slowly moved the lid of the bowl, and blew on it.

The yamen runner took two deep breaths and said, "My lord, it's bad. The Prime Minister is here."

Lord Wang spat out a mouthful of tea, and the cup in his hand almost fell to the ground.

His eyes widened, his face filled with horror.

"What, you...what did you say, who's here?"

Report to the Lord: "The Prime Minister is here."

"What are you doing here, Prime Minister?"

"How would this kid know?"

Lord Wang stood up and was about to go forward, but just as he stood up from the chair, his legs went weak and he fell headfirst under the table.

The bailiff was terrified and rushed to help:

"My lord, my lord, are you okay?"

"Oh, hurry up, hurry up, get to the front."

Lord Wang didn't care that he was covered in dust, and crawled out from under the table and went forward to meet them.

As soon as I arrived at the front hall, I saw the first man who had a heavenly appearance. Who else could it be but the Prime Minister?

Lord Wang showed a bright smile on his face:

"It is a great honor for the Prime Minister to have you here to visit our humble home..."

"I came here today because I have something for you, Lord Wang, to do."

Ji Yunzhi didn't want to listen to those polite words and interrupted him directly.

"Yes, yes, yes, please tell me, Prime Minister. As long as I can do it, I will go through fire and water without hesitation."

Ji Yunzhi took a sip of tea and put down the cup.

"Then let's open the court."

"Ah, open the hall."

When the Jingzhao Yin government office opens, there must be a case to be tried.

Lord Wang was stunned. What kind of trick was this?

Everything is fine, but the Prime Minister wants him to open the court?

What injustice has the Prime Minister suffered that requires him, the Jingzhao Yin, to uphold justice?

Lord Wang has become autistic and has no idea what has happened or what is about to happen.

My heart was uneasy and anxious.

I can't find a place to ask.

He followed the Prime Minister to the front hall in a daze.

"mighty……"

The sound of the court opening was heard, and many ordinary people had gathered outside.

Lord Wang walked to the front of the hall, looked at Ji Yunzhi standing in the hall, adjusted his black gauze hat, and spoke tremblingly:

"Please take a seat, Prime Minister."

"No need, you are the judge, you take the seat."

Lord Wang didn't dare to sit down, but seeing the Prime Minister's expression, he didn't dare not sit down. He felt conflicted and complained for a while.

I didn't check the almanac before going out today, so how could I have encountered such a thing?

He had no choice. The Prime Minister asked him to sit down, so he had to go to the table. However, the Prime Minister was standing below, so he did not dare to sit down and could only stand in front of the hall.

Then a scene that had not been seen in the Jingzhao Yin government office for a century appeared: the Jingzhao Yin stood to judge the case, and even the gavel was banged gently.

Lord Wang took the gavel and pressed it lightly, making a slight sound:

"What's the matter, Prime Minister?"

Ji Yunzhi pointed at Xue Feimu who was standing beside him.

"Let him speak."

Lord Wang looked over as Ji Yunzhi instructed, and discovered that there was another person in the hall.

Who is this person?

Lord Wang doesn’t know him.

The guard next to him reminded: "Sir, this is the prince of the Loyal and Brave Marquis's Mansion.

Lord Wang suddenly realized: "Oh, so he divorced his wife because she was wrongly imprisoned?"

"Yes, yes, that's him."

The former wife of the prince of Xue Mansion is the sister-in-law of the prime minister.

Lord Wang looked at Xue Feimu, then at Ji Yunzhi, and he had some idea of ​​what had happened, but he didn't quite understand.

However, since the Prime Minister asked him to ask, he would ask.

"Who is this person in the hall, and what is he doing?"

After he asked, he slammed the gavel, trying to shock Xue Feimu.

But after the filming, he found that the Prime Minister was also present. He quickly put away the gavel and held it in his arms, with a smile on his face:

"Please forgive me, Prime Minister. This is my habit. I deserve to die for scaring you, Prime Minister."

As he spoke, he raised his chubby hand, patted his chubby cheek, and gave himself a small slap.

Seeing Ji Yunzhi glanced at him and said nothing else, he felt relieved and looked at Xue Feimu with an angry look:

"Please tell me in detail."

Xue Feimu was confused.

say what?

He has nothing to say?

He was stunned and looked at Ji Yunzhi.

I have no idea what Ji Yunzhi means.

He was asked to come with him to the Jingzhao government office, but he was not given any instructions on what to do.

"Mr. Prime Minister, this..."

Ji Yunzhi glanced at him:

"Didn't you say that a divorce needs to be stamped with an official seal to be considered formal and in accordance with the rules? The Jingzhao government office is not only responsible for solving cases in the capital, but also for the capital's household registration.

"It just so happens that I am free today, so I will ask the Jingzhao Yin to witness this matter and get it done."

"what……"

Lord Wang was stunned.

The Jingzhao prefectural government does take care of household registration matters, but it has its own department in charge, and generally such minor matters would not be brought to its attention.

He had been the Jingzhao Yin for such a long time, but today was the first time he had to deal with household registration matters, and he was unable to react for a moment.

Ji Yunzhi: "Why? This matter is not under the jurisdiction of Lord Wang?

"Go, go, go, this matter is indeed under the jurisdiction of the lower officials."

"Well, that's fine. Then you take care of this matter today and let me see the efficiency of the Jingzhao government office."

"Yes, Prime Minister."

Upon hearing that his superior had issued a precise task, Lord Wang straightened his back and ordered everyone to bring all the seals of the household registration system over.

This matter must be implemented on the spot.
