After rebirth, I became a treacherous minister Black Moonlight

After such a big incident, staying in the Liu family would only embarrass everyone.

Meng Qianqian went to say goodbye to Mrs. Liu.

Madam Liu secretly sighed at Meng Qianqian's calmness and thorough manners, but it was a pity...

Just before getting on the carriage, Minister Xing caught up with him.

"Miss Meng, please stay."

Meng Qianqian turned around and bowed politely: "Master Xing."

Minister Xing said, "I have something to explain to Miss Meng. This matter was ordered by the Emperor, and I will accept it. The letter of separation will be delivered to Miss Meng in seven days. In addition, I have negotiated a one-month deadline for Miss Meng. During this month, even if Miss Meng stays in the Lu family, the Lu family has no right to interfere."

It was really a timely relief. The incident happened suddenly and she had not bought a house yet, so she had no place to stay for a while.

Meng Qianqian said to Minister Xing: "Thank you, Lord Xing."

Minister Xing said: "The reason why the Lu family agreed is because I also gave them one month to pay back Miss Meng's dowry. If the Lu family still refuses to return it by then, the government will enforce it."

Seeing Meng Qianqian didn't say anything, Minister Xing thought she was dissatisfied with the one-month deadline, and sighed helplessly: "I am also following the law. After all, it takes a lot of time to check the accounts of the past five years. One month is the limit of what I can do."

Meng Qianqian said sincerely: "I think it's great. I don't know how to thank Master Xing."

It was only a month, which was much faster than she expected. Moreover, it was much better to have the government come forward than for her to go herself.

After Meng Qianqian thanked him again and again, she left with Tan'er, Nanny Li and Nanny Wan.

Zhu Shilang of the Ministry of Justice came over and looked at the carriage disappearing at the end. He asked in confusion, "Sir, why are you so kind to her? Can't you go to the government office to get the letter of divorce? Why did you have someone deliver it to her in person? Besides, according to the law, she should go and ask for her dowry herself. If her husband's family doesn't return it, she will sue him in court."

This process is extremely lengthy. From filing a case to trial to final judgment, it can take at least a year and a half, or as long as three to five years, or even longer.

Moreover, if the husband's family refuses to pay back and the wife does not pursue the matter, the government would rather avoid getting involved.

Minister Xing said thoughtfully: "Since the Supreme Emperor abdicated the throne to the current emperor, which imperial edict in the court could have bypassed the Grand Commander and appeared in front of the world?"

Minister Zhu was reminded and realized, "Yes, just now when Eunuch Fu came to announce the decree, the Grand Commander did not stop him. Was it the Grand Commander's idea? No, if the Grand Commander wanted to issue an imperial decree, he would only borrow the name of the Son of Heaven, not the Emperor Retired. So this imperial decree was indeed issued by the Emperor Retired. Why did the Emperor Retired help Miss Meng? Why did the Grand Commander turn a blind eye?"

Minister Xing said earnestly, "The Grand Commander has kept the Emperor under house arrest for several years. This is the only imperial decree that he has not stopped. This Miss Meng is no ordinary person."

Meng Qianqian's carriage ran into the Wang family's carriage halfway through the journey.

Meng Qianqian hurriedly got off the carriage, and Madam Wang also wanted to get off. Meng Qianqian said outside the carriage window: "Madam, you don't have to get off the carriage. I will leave after I say a few words."

Mrs. Wang said, "There's no need to say thank you."

Meng Qianqian hesitated for a moment and said seriously, "I still have to thank you."

Mrs. Wang was amused by her. After thinking for a while, she said with a sigh, "The world is unfair to women, but few people have the courage like you."

She is the first person in this dynasty to divorce her husband!

Meng Qianqian said: "I am also lucky. I was fortunate enough to meet Madam who helped me many times."

"I can't help you much."

The main reason was that the imperial edict from the retired emperor arrived just in time... Although Mrs. Wang had some doubts in her heart, she was also a very sensible person. She did not ask Meng Qianqian about the origin of the imperial edict, but asked: "What are your plans for the future? Do you want to return to Youzhou?"

Meng Qianqian shook her head: "I still have unfinished business in the capital, so I will stay here for the time being."

As for what it was specifically about, she didn't say, and Mrs. Wang didn't ask.

Mrs. Wang said, "Why don't you move to my place first, and then slowly make plans later."

Meng Qianqian smiled and said, "I appreciate your kindness, Madam. If I still haven't found a place to live in a month, I will bother you again."

Mrs. Wang knew that she was not impulsive, and she must have her own plans for saying this: "Okay, if you have any difficulties, just come to the Wang family to find me."

Meng Qianqian watched the Wang family's carriage leave.

"Miss, are we going back to the Lu family?" asked Nanny Wan.

Meng Qianqian looked at the gradually brightening sky and said, "Let's go to the dental clinic."

Aunt Wan's eyes widened: "Are you not moving?"

Meng Qianqian said: "To move, you must first have a home."

Aunt Wan: "Yeah, that's right."

On the official road, government servants were already clearing the snow, and the carriage was moving slowly.

Nanny Li and Nanny Wan had not slept all night and now they fell asleep in the carriage.

Tan'er played with the tassel on the jade pendant with great energy.

This jade pendant has been worn around Meng Qianqian's neck since the first time she saw her, and she would take it off and play with it from time to time.

"Sister, that palm strike you just made was so powerful! What kind of Kung Fu is that?"

"no name."

Tan Er folded her arms and said, "It's such a pity that I don't have a name."

Meng Qianqian asked: "Do you want to sleep a little longer?"

Tan Er pouted: "No! I've slept for two days and two nights! Sister, do you want to sleep?"

Meng Qianqian shook her head: "I'm not sleepy either."

I slept very well in the mourning shed and didn’t even have a single dream.

When the carriage arrived at the matchmaker's shop, the matchmaker was still dreaming.

Bang bang bang! Bang bang bang!

"Who is it? So early in the morning?"

The matchmaker buttoned her clothes and went to open the door while cursing. Just as she was about to curse harshly, a gold ingot caught her eye.

Her eyes sparkled green, she took the gold in her hand, and smiled flatteringly: "Young lady, may I ask you - Hey, why are you here too?"

The moment she saw Tan'er, the matchmaker's smile immediately disappeared.

Meng Qianqian said, "Mother Chun, can we go in and talk?"

The matchmaker heard the familiar voice, looked at Tan'er beside her, and an idea flashed in her mind: "You are... a noble man!"

Whenever Meng Qianqian came over in the past, she always wore a veil to cover her face, so it was the first time that the matchmaker saw her true face.

The matchmaker had been running a brothel for many years and had seen many beauties, but she had never seen a woman with such a fairy-like appearance. She had a temperament as gentle as pine and bamboo, and was proud but not arrogant. She was calm and composed, and her behavior was well-controlled.

Meng Qianqian sat down on the chair and put a completed account book on the table: "I want this person."

The old woman nodded blankly: "Shi, Shi Niang! Go find this cripple... er, this young master!"

Meng Qianqian said: "Also, I want to buy a quiet house in a bustling city, the closer to Suzaku Street the better."

"Suzaku Street is the most prosperous street in the capital, and all the dignitaries live around here... I want a quiet place in a bustling city, which may be hard to find."

Meng Qianqian placed another gold ingot on the table.

The matchmaker quickly put the gold in her arms and said, "It's easy to find! How big do you want to buy? How much silver do you have?"

Meng Qianqian thought for a moment and said, "It doesn't matter how big or small it is. I only have 10,000 taels on hand."

The matchmaker was very upset: "Well, ten thousand taels is not enough to buy a toilet."

Meng Qianqian stood up and said, "Then I'll have to find someone else. Give me back the gold."

The matchmaker quickly protected the gold in her arms and said, "Hey, hey, hey! Don't worry, my dear! There is really no house worth 10,000 taels! There is one worth 50,000 taels! I can bet it down to 35,000 taels for you! I won't hide it from you, my dear, that is a haunted house, many people have died there!"

Meng Qianqian: "Lead the way."
