Kick out the general as soon as you are reborn

next day

Overcast

Liu Yanyan was dressed in official uniform, a black official hat, official boots, and a gold belt around her waist. She was supported by Yuzhu and walked to the main hall. There she saw Concubine Li, dressed in a pink dress, with her hands on her face, leaning back in a chair, drowsy as if she had no bones.

After coughing twice, Concubine Li woke up and stood up, "I, your concubine, pay my respects to the princess."

Just as Liu Yanyan was about to yell at her to stand up, she saw her deliberately exposing her fair neck, which had a striking blush on it. She thought she was demonstrating, and it really looked pink and tender. "Sister Li, you've worked hard, stand up, no need to be polite."

Concubine Li then stood up and said shyly, "It's not hard. It's my duty to help the palace expand."

Seeing her like this, Liu Yanyan ignored her. It was getting late, and it would not be good to go to the yamen too late. "Sister Li, drink more tea. These are all top-quality teas. I still have to go to the yamen, so I can't accompany you." Without waiting for Concubine Li to speak, she put her hand on Yuzhu's hand and walked out.

When Concubine Li saw that Liu Yanyan ignored her completely, she felt like she had punched cotton and was so angry that she jumped up and down. How could she do this?

She made me wait for an hour in vain. I had no place to vent my anger, so I threw the tea bowls on the table to the ground and said, "Liu Yanyan, why do you do this? Why do you do this? The prince favors me, and I will give birth to the heir to the palace. Then." Seeing that everyone around was Liu Yanyan's maid, she suppressed the rest of her words.

Yuzhen came over with a cold face, bowed and said, "My Lady, this is an antique from the previous dynasty, worth 500 taels of silver. Do you want to compensate me now, or wait until the princess comes back and I will report to her."

Concubine Li looked at the fragments on the ground in disbelief. "How is it possible? It's just a tea bowl, an ordinary tea bowl, worth a few taels of silver at most. Are you trying to blackmail me? How dare you, little girl, lie to me?"

Yuzhen gritted her teeth and said, "My Lady Concubine, you don't know that all the things in this room, big and small, are the dowry of the princess. They are all registered. How dare I ask for it casually? This famille rose tea bowl is indeed priced at this price."

Concubine Li was so angry that her teeth itched. I, where did I get so much silver? She couldn't calm down the anger in her heart, so she could only hold it in and said in a controlled voice, "You report it! Wait for Sister Princess to come back. If Sister Princess confirms that it is 500 taels of silver, I will arrange for someone to send the silver over."

After saying that, he walked out angrily, and Lihua hurriedly followed him.

Seeing the man walking away, Yuzhen laughed so hard that she fell backwards. "Humph, you dare to be so arrogant in front of the princess like this. You are overestimating yourself. You don't even look at our master. She is the legitimate daughter of the Duke's Mansion, and her dowry is more than a hundred yuan."

The other maids also laughed.

After a long while, Yuzhen said, "Stop laughing. Keep the porcelain piece. She hasn't paid for it yet! This is for the princess to see."

"That's right!"

"Waiting for her to pay the money!"

"After being favored for just one day, he dared to come to the main courtyard and make a scene. I don't know who gave him the courage."

"That's right! Concubine Li is becoming more and more arrogant."

"Just be pampered for one day?"

"Humph, I'm afraid you've forgotten that our master is the princess!"

"That's right!"

"Just think about it! The look on her face just now was really interesting."

"White is black, black is white."

Seeing the maids talking without restraint, Yuzhen said helplessly, "Stop talking. We are maids, and she is a concubine. It would be bad if she caught us. The princess is not always in the palace, so she can only bear the punishment herself."

"Sister Yuzhen is right."

"Sister Yuzhen is right."

"Listen to my sister,"

"We don't talk nonsense."

"We don't dare anymore."

Yuzhen was relieved to see that they stopped talking nonsense. "That's good. Continue to clean up! Clean this place up."

"Yes, Sister Yuzhen."

"Okay, Sister Yuzhen."

yamen

Liu Yanyan had just arrived at the government office and had not yet stepped off the carriage when she saw a skinny woman in pale clothes rushing over and kneeling at her feet. "Sir, please save me. I know that only you can save me. Please, sir."

Liu Yanyan couldn't help but feel pity for her. She lowered her head and looked at her, "Let's go into the government office first! Why are you alone? Where's your husband?"

The woman then stood up tremblingly and said, "Sir, I was waiting here yesterday. I beat the drum and Sir Zhang said that my husband was not here and could not be divorced."

Liu Yanyan looked at her pitifully, and said, "There are indeed regulations. You come in first. If you have any difficulties, just tell me slowly." She got off the carriage and walked towards the yamen.

The woman then followed him into the yamen, looking timid and walking at the end.

The bailiff asked the woman to wait outside, so she lowered her head, squatted on the ground and said nothing, as if she had to curl up into a ball to feel safe.

Liu Yanyan was in the room and asked someone to invite Master Zhang.

Seeing Lord Zhang salute, he waved his hand to signal him to stand up. "Lord Zhang, the woman who came yesterday has been staying at the gate of the yamen for a whole day. Why didn't you deal with it? Explain clearly."

Lord Zhang struggled to open his mouth for several times, but nothing came out.

Seeing him dithering, Liu Yanyan said coldly, "Speak clearly, I don't believe you haven't checked for a day."

Lord Zhang said nervously, "This, this is not me. If I don't help her, I don't know how to help her."

"She said she was the wife of the third place winner, Wang Han, and her name was Lan Mei. They signed the marriage certificate when Wang Han was a child, and she was his legitimate wife."

"She has been working hard to support Wang Han's studies, but who would have thought that Wang Han would disown her once he passed the exam and let her go. She has nothing left just to support Wang Han, so she has to ask the government for help." After saying that, she took out a marriage certificate and handed it to Liu Wu.

Liu Wu examined it before presenting it to the princess.

Liu Yanyan raised her hand to rub her swollen forehead, frowning and saying, "Wang Han, I am now discussing marriage with the youngest daughter of the Marquis's Mansion. I will ask for your hand in marriage several times before I can say whether you are suitable or not."

Mr. Zhang had no impression of it at all, after all, they had no connection at all with Wang Han.

Liu Wu said respectfully, "Yes, Princess, it is true. He came to your house several times and many people know about it."

Liu Yanyan looked at Zhang and said, "You arrange for the bailiffs to invite Wang Han. He must be present for this matter. He can't just chase him away like this."

After Manager Zhang bowed, he walked out.

Liu Yanyan thought of the Marquis's youngest daughter, Jinxia, ​​whom she had seen before, with her chubby little face, and said, "Go, ask Shuhui to arrange female guards to invite the Marquis's youngest daughter to the back court, and ask her to come." Some things are hard to explain, so it's better to let her watch from behind herself, so that she won't have any bad thoughts and think that I am breaking them up.

Liu Wu bowed and walked out, while Liu Yanyan stared at the yellowed marriage certificate on the table in a daze for a long time, "How stupid! For a man, you make yourself like this, is it worth it?"
