Mo Yichen was standing outside the yamen at the moment, listening to the Old Man Mu's clamoring from inside. For some reason, his heart started to ache over the things that Wanqing had experienced since she was young. This did not seem like something he could do since a young age, but after these few days of being together, he could understand it.

Mo Yichen knew that he already had different feelings towards Wanqing, but what was that feeling called? He only knew that when someone bullied Wanqing, he couldn't help but want to fight for him.

It was just like now, where he did not hesitate to enter the back of the hall from the back of his teeth. He directly took off his identity token and handed it to the bailiff who was on duty at the back of the yamen.

When the bailiff saw the Duke Chen's identity badge on his waist, he naturally recognized him and looked at Mo Yichen seriously. However, when he saw that Mo Yichen was wearing ordinary coarse hemp clothes, he couldn't help but wonder what kind of identity he had.

If it was Prince Chen, why was he dressed in such shabby clothes? But if it wasn't Duke Chen, why would he have his personal badge?

"Have you seen enough?" Mo Yi Chen's voice was ice-cold and his eyes were as sharp as knives, causing the bailiff to tremble uncontrollably. He almost fell to his knees on the spot.

"Look …" "I'm done reading. I'll go right after I'm done reading. I'll go right now." Chu Yu was scared by Mo Yichen so he quickly ran to the back of the hall to pass on a message to Grand Master.

It had to be known that he was just a small bailiff, not even a constable. He didn't even have the qualifications to go to court, so if he wanted to find the county magistrate, he could only do so through the county magistrate's steward.

After showing his identity token to the Grand Master, the Grand Master's expression changed drastically. He turned around and asked the bailiff, "Where is that person now?" Do you have anyone else with you? "

"That person came alone, wearing coarse hemp clothes. However, judging from his aura, it seems that he really isn't an ordinary person."

If it were an ordinary person, they would have been scared to the point of trembling when they saw a bailiff. After all, ordinary people were afraid of the officials, but this person did not seem afraid when he saw the coffin and even emitted an aura of superiority. Some people would even say that he was an ordinary commoner in the bailiff's office and did not believe it.

Upon hearing this, the Grand Master did not dare delay any further and hurriedly passed on a message to the county magistrate.

At this moment, the Grand Master was thinking that if this person was fake, and if this person holding Prince Chen's identity token was fake, then he would just throw him into the prison and report him to the court. He was just an ordinary commoner, so they didn't dare to do anything to him.

But if this person was real, or if he really was one of the people by Prince Chen's side, then he knew better than anyone else what would happen to his master if he neglected it.

Duke Chen's fame had spread far and wide, and he was not only the nation's war god, he was also famous for his violent temper. If anyone provoked him, they would definitely not have a good ending, and they wouldn't even have a woman by their side. At seventeen or eighteen years of age, they wouldn't even have a Maidservant serving them.

There had always been rumors that the Duke Chen had a weird temper because he had been cooped up for too long due to his lack of lust for women.

The magistrate didn't dare delay any longer. He hurried forward to inform the magistrate that the magistrate had taken the medallion from his hand and was shocked when he saw that the medallion had been struck.

After seeing Mo Yichen, he kneeled on the ground, "This official greets Your Highness, and does not know that Your Highness has arrived.

"It's fine. This king was just here for Weibo's visit and did not disturb anyone. Since you did not know of this king's arrival, what crime did you commit?"

Mo Yichen's voice was still as cold as ever, and the words he spoke were completely emotionless.

The county magistrate couldn't figure out Mo Yichen's personality, and didn't know why he came. He stood at the side trembling in fear, not daring to say a single word, waiting for Mo Yichen to speak first.

Mo Yichen's gaze turned towards the direction of the great hall. After a long while, he spoke out, "The woman in front of you is the one who is in my heart. I think you should know what to do."

The person in his heart? Isn't that the lover? And there was a possibility of her becoming an imperial concubine? This news shocked the county magistrate a little. He did not dare to ask any further and quickly nodded his head before turning around and running back to the main hall.

Seeing the county magistrate like this, the Master knew that the young man dressed in unremarkable clothing in front of him was none other than the War King of the imperial court, Mo Yichen.

The Old Man Mu in the front hall looked at the county magistrate who had returned with a puzzled expression. His eyes were filled with hope as he asked, "Great Master …"

"Shut up, this official has such guts. I haven't even opened my mouth to question you, yet you've already opened your mouth. Hmph, you really haven't been hit before. You don't know the rules."

"Someone come, bring this arrogant guy out to fight the top ten."

The county magistrate already knew Wanqing's identity so she naturally wouldn't do anything to her. Moreover, she had to perform well at this moment in order to give herself a good impression in front of the future wangfei.

Old Man Mu was pulled down until the board hit him, only then did he react.

"Master, master, this is unfair. Ah, master, little old man, I'm here to complain, why did you hit me?

Ah … "Ah …

Although Old Man Mu had a strong and sturdy body, he was still old. His entire body felt like it was going to fall apart when he was hit by the ten great slates, especially the burning pain. It was impossible for him to continue kneeling, so he could only lie on the ground.

However, even the Old Man Mu who was lying on the ground could not understand why the old master would hit him.

As for the reason why he had just been beaten, he was extremely furious.

He only wanted to ask how he was going to deal with Wanqing, why did he have to get beaten up? Instead, Wanqing was standing there perfectly fine.

"Milord, why …"

Old Man Mu once again opened his mouth to ask for clarification, but was stopped by the county magistrate. He could only look at the county magistrate with doubt in his eyes, enduring the pain in his body.

At this moment, Wanqing also looked at this scene in confusion. Even though she felt that it was great for Old Man Mu to be beaten up, but since she was young, she still had some pity for the original owner, so Wanqing was somewhat unwilling.

"Who do you want to sue?" The county magistrate gathered his thoughts and asked once more.

Old Man Mu looked at Liu Qingping as if he did not hear him clearly, and did not say anything.

The county magistrate's brows creased as he slapped the table in shock. With an ice-cold expression, he asked, "Who does the court want to sue?"

This shocking news woke Old Man Mu from his stupor, causing him to tremble for a moment before he replied, "Reporting to my lord, I want to sue my own granddaughter Mu Wanqing for disrespect to my seniors, dishonorable and unfilial. Before we split the family property, I also have a secret stash of silver taels."

Being unfilial was a huge crime. Once you were convicted, the lesser ones would be exiled to the borders, while the heavier ones would be killed, because Xia Kingdom governed the world through filial piety. The penalties for those who were unfilial would be very strict.

Old Man Mu never thought about what kind of situation he would force Jiang Wanqing to reach today, but he just got beaten up for no reason, and Wanqing didn't have the slightest intention to pity her grandfather. She didn't even give him a single glance, and this made her think of leaving a path for Wanqing to retreat to, but he had directly strangled his as well.

After hearing the Old Man Mu's words, the county magistrate frowned. After supporting her two small goatees with one hand, she asked Wanqing, "What did you say when your grandfather accused you of being unfilial and unfilial?"

Wanqing bowed slightly towards the county magistrate, then spoke out once more, "In reply to her words, just now, my brother and I have lived our inhuman lives since we were young, we haven't even had enough to eat, and whatever grandmother says, we will do, and Grandfather will not be at home all year round, so he will not be able to care about the life and death of us two siblings, how can I be filial to him, and how can I be filial to him?

"Nonsense, your grandmother taught you. It's only right and proper, so what can I do if I hit you twice?" "Let's not talk about how rebellious and unruly you are. If you were a well-behaved person, why would your granny beat you up?" The Old Man Mu roared.

Hearing this, the county magistrate slapped the table again, shocking Old Man Mu so much that his neck abruptly shrank and his eyes dimmed.

"If you ignore my question and answer it in private, I will make you eat ten boards."

"Yes, it's the lord. I was wrong." The Old Man Mu was so scared that he quickly replied.

If he was hit by ten boards, his bones would have broken. If he was hit by another ten boards, wouldn't it directly take his life?

The county magistrate saw that the Old Man Mu had become honest, snorted, and continued to look at Wanqing as he spoke, "Do you have evidence for all of this?"

Evidence? Wan Qing had made it clear that everyone in her neighborhood could testify for him. Many people knew about the day when she was almost beaten to death by that old lady.

The county magistrate precisely thought of this point, which was why he opened his mouth to ask again. And Wanqing, also told him what he had expected.

"If possible, please send someone to our village to investigate. What kind of days are we living in Mu Family? Everyone in the village knows. "

Old Man Mu was shocked when he heard this. He never thought that Mu Wanting would send people into the village to investigate, and he was well aware of how his wife treated these two siblings.

If they really did send someone to investigate, then it would be impossible for him to declare his victory.

"Sir, can this old man speak?"

"Speak!" The county magistrate frowned as he spoke.

Old Man Mu, who had received a pardon quickly replied, "I can let go of everything that Mu Wanqing has done.

"However, she had already accumulated some silver taels before the split, and she still hasn't handed it over to her family. I would like to ask the lord to uphold justice for me in this matter."

Xia Kingdom naturally had its parents training, and other than the portion of silver earned by the branch families with their parents' permission, all of them had to be handed over to the clan. Those who did not hand in the money would be considered to be unfilial.

This was exactly what Old Man Mu was trying to grasp. After saying this, Old Man Mu looked at Wanqing with slight pride in his eyes, as if he was using his gaze to show off his might.

Wanqing frowned as she looked at the Old Man Mu, and after a long while, she spoke with an ice-cold voice.

"Grandpa Mu, are you sure you want to do this? Don't you regret it? "

"Hmph, to be able to bring an unfilial thing like you to justice, this is something that every citizen of Xia Kingdom should do. What do I have to regret?"

When Wanqing heard this, the corner of her mouth tightly pursed into a smile, a trace of struggle could be seen in her eyes. In the end, Wanqing still earnestly said after being with the Old Man Mu for an entire night, "Since you do not regret it, then I have nothing else to say.

Master, this little girl and brother are both innocent people, and at that time, we were both cleansed of our wealth. Let alone silver, we didn't even take a piece of cloth with us, so how did I get this silver? Furthermore, with so much silver in the Mu Family, can I build a courtyard house in such a short time?
