The eldest sister was reborn and the younger sister traveled through time. I just want to survive.

"If no one kills me, I can kill myself!"

Yan Muxi suddenly had a bold guess. Qian Mei was just an actress of humble origin. Even if she was restrained by the love poison, the prince would not easily bring her into the Eastern Palace.

If she performed a genuine self-torture play, she could gain the prince's sympathy and also warn others that Qian Mei's life was not worth taking.

The other person who was warned was the abandoned chess piece Yan Muqing. Since Yan Yongchen had abandoned Yan Muqing, it meant that he no longer trusted her and was even wary of her.

Yan Muyun said that apart from making two unrelated people fall in love, love poison can't control each other's lives at all.

So she guessed that Qian Mei got into trouble outside the palace and the prince happened to have a heart attack, and it was a deliberate setup by the person behind the scenes.

Tiing Qian Mei's life and death to that of the prince, Yan Muqing became cautious and did not dare to attack Qian Mei easily. He even had to protect Qian Mei's life.

But all of this was just her guess, and it didn’t matter whether Qian Mei was eliminated or not at the moment. What was important was the chess player hidden behind the scenes.

Without a chess player, even the most powerful chess pieces are useless.

On this day, the Yan family's carriage passed by Changsheng Street and was stopped by a beautiful girl about fourteen or fifteen years old.

The girl knelt in front of the carriage and kowtowed in panic, "Sir, please help me, please save my daughter!"

Yan Yongchen lifted the curtain of the carriage and happened to see a group of people running towards him with great momentum.

The girl also saw the person coming and was so frightened that she crawled under the horse's belly. It was obvious that she was so frightened that she was unaware of the danger.

"Yan San, pull the person out." Yan Yongchen gently ordered the follower driving the horse in front.

Upon hearing this, Yan San jumped off the carriage and dragged the little girl out from under the horse.

As soon as the little girl was dragged out, a group of people walked to the front of the carriage. The man in gorgeous clothes in the lead bowed to Yan Yongchen and said, "Thank you, Lord Shangshu, for helping me stop the female thief. I will invite you for tea and wine when I have the chance. I have something urgent to do today, so I will leave first." After saying that, he winked at the followers behind him.

The man in fancy clothes was none other than Li Liu, who had previously made advances towards the actor.

There are four great playboys in Luodu City, namely Yu Wantai, the Fan brothers from the Loyalty Marquis's Mansion, and Li Liu in front of him.

Yu Wantai was originally the leader among all the dandies, but after he became more restrained after getting married, his position as the leader has now been taken by Li Liu.

Li Liu was extremely lustful. He could not take his eyes off women with outstanding looks. Relying on the power of Weiyuan Marquis' Mansion, he often committed evil acts of seizing women.

Li Liu's followers stepped forward to pull the girl, "Ah~ Go away, go away..." The little girl screamed and hid behind Yan San, explaining in a trembling voice: "I, I am not a female thief, I am a good person, it is obviously you who want to humiliate me, you want to take me back to be your concubine."

Then she knelt on the ground with a plop and kowtowed in the direction of Yan Yongchen, "Sir, please save my daughter. My daughter has been promised to someone else and does not want to be someone's concubine..."

It was dinner time and there was quite a lot of noise here. There were teahouses and wine shops on both sides of the street and many people came out to watch the fun.

Li Liu is the captain of the Luodu Guard. He often patrols Changsheng Street with a group of his men. In addition, he likes to show off his power, so many people know him.

There was the logo of the Shangshu Mansion on the Yan Mansion's carriage, and Yan Yongchen's face was surprisingly handsome, so his identity was not difficult to guess.

The situation was clear. Li Liu raped and humiliated a commoner woman and was caught by the Minister of Personnel Yan Yongchen.

In public, if Yan Yongchen did not intervene in the matter at hand, his reputation would be criticized. If he did, he would be going against the Weiyuan Marquis' Mansion.

Li Liu didn't think Yan Yongchen would dare to meddle in his affairs, and ordered his followers in an arrogant tone, "Hurry up and drag the person over here, don't block the way of Lord Minister Yan."

Yan San received Yan Yongchen's look and stretched out his hand to block the follower who was rushing towards him.

Li Liu was about to question her when he heard Yan Yongchen say, "Since this young lady is a female thief, I will personally send her to the nearby government office!"

Yan Yongchen's words were equivalent to leaving a way out for both of them, but unfortunately Li Liu was used to being arrogant and didn't want to take the way out he gave.

"It is better not to bother you, Lord Shangshu. I will take this treacherous female thief to the government office." Li Liu then ordered the other followers, "Hurry up and bring the female thief back to me."

Sometimes, when a smart person meets a very stupid person, he will be led by the nose, especially a domineering and arrogant stupid person like Li Liu. Except for suppressing him forcefully, other methods will not work.

I saw a group of seven or eight people surrounding the carriage, ready to take action.

Yan Yongchen looked at Yan Er who was sitting next to him and said calmly, "Hurry up and don't delay too long, or you won't be able to have a hot meal when you return home."

Yan Er jumped off the carriage and kicked everyone out one by one in a few moves. His movements were so fast that they didn't have time to react.

Li Liu was also surprised for a long time before he pointed at Yan Yongchen and shouted, "You, are you sure you want to meddle in my business?" He wanted to get closer to the carriage, but was pushed out by Yan San. The other party didn't seem to use much strength, but he staggered back several meters before he could steady himself.

Yan Yongchen lowered the curtain, and a cold and indifferent voice came from the carriage, "Let's go!"

Yan Er drove the car while Yan San protected the little girl. They slowly walked through the crowd and disappeared into the sunset.

At night, in the study of Yan Mansion.

Yan San pushed the door open and came in. "We have already investigated carefully. The little girl is a native of Huaishu Alley in South City. Her family runs a tofu shop. She was spotted by Li Liu a few days ago when she followed her brother to deliver tofu to Fuqing Restaurant."

After a moment of silence, Yan Yongchen asked, "Does the young lady really have a fiancé?"

"Yes, her fiancé is the youngest son of Jinxiu Silk Shop in Nancheng. They are childhood sweethearts and got engaged a few years ago." Yan San said truthfully.

"Ask someone to watch over the tofu shop." Yan Yongchen said and waved his hand for him to leave.

At the same time in the Rong Palace, Yin Xia asked Yan Muxi, "Will the master really not find out?"

"There were no clues in the first place, so how could we discover it?"

Yin Xia was still worried, "But, after all, it was our people who asked you to stop the carriage of the Yan Mansion. If the master finds out, I'm afraid he will use Madam Man as a pretext again."

"Don't worry. Yan Yongchen is not a god with third eye. We just gave a small push to the raft that was already built naturally. We didn't get even a drop of water on our hands, so we won't be discovered." Yan Muxi was more of comforting himself than Yin Xia.

She wanted to set a trap for Yan Yongchen, but she couldn't get herself out of it. If she failed, she would not be able to withstand Yan Yongchen's revenge.

Therefore, before taking action, it is necessary to find a scapegoat to take the blame.

Three days later, at the grand court meeting, several officials from Prince Rui's party reported that Yan Yongchen had formed a clique for personal gain and used his position to arrange official positions for many of his disciples.

Emperor Yuanjing reprimanded Yan Yongchen in public and fined him half a year's salary. It seemed like a punishment, but in fact it was just a light brush-off.

That night, Li Liu was put in a sack and beaten. Although he did not break any bones, there was not a single piece of healthy flesh on his body.
