Kick out the general as soon as you are reborn

Liu Yanyan sat in the carriage, swaying all the way to the gate of the yamen. When the carriage stopped, she pulled open the curtain, jumped out of the carriage, and walked straight into the yamen.

After returning to the room, he sat at the desk and said to Liu Wu, "What's wrong with Gu Beichen? Why did he come to the gate of the Duke's Mansion?"

Liu Wu lowered his head and said, "Miss, I don't know either. I just asked for a concubine's indenture. I'll go find out now."

Liu Yanyan shook her head, a trace of contempt flashed across her eyes and said, "No need, he is just a nobody, we are divorced, as long as I don't want him to, he has no right to come in front of me."

Liu Wu just bowed and closed the door.

Liu Yanyan heard the sound of drums outside, "dong, dong, dong, dong", and hurriedly got up and walked out, fearing that if she went too late, the woman might be hurt.

Arriving at the court, Zhang was already sitting behind the desk. Liu Yanyan was about to walk over when Zhang called out to her, "Master Liu, Gu Beichen is here to sue you, so it's inconvenient for you to participate in the trial."

When Liu Yanyan heard this and saw Gu Beichen in the hall, her eyes were full of disgust. She said lightly, "Okay," and walked downstairs.

The bailiff next to him brought a pearwood chair and placed it in the hall. Liu Yanyan nodded to the bailiff, walked over and sat upright on the chair.

Gu Beichen cried and said, "Sir, please help me! After the divorce, she refused to return my property. I didn't care about it before, but now these are the things that I need to survive! Please, sir, let her return my property to me."

Zhang looked at Liu Yanyan and said, "County Lady Liu, do you have anything to say?"

Liu Yanyan sneered, "Gu Beichen, why don't you tell me what I took from you? How much of my dowry did your family spend? I didn't argue with you, but you still come to me to ask for things? You are really shameless!"

Gu Beichen had a bitter face, and recalled with difficulty for a long time before he said, "The day after you got married, my mother gave you a gift, a pure gold peony bracelet, my brother Gu Beiming gave you an inkstone, and my cousin Lin Rou gave you a hand-embroidered silk cape."

Liu Yanyan smiled coldly when she heard this. "That's it? Anything else? Say it all at once. I don't want you to come to the yamen and beat the drum again the next time you remember something."

Gu Beichen knelt on the ground and glared at Liu Yanyan fiercely, "There is more, there is more, let me think, there must be more."

Liu Yanyan looked at him speechlessly, "Well, think about it slowly and carefully." Your whole family eats my food and uses my money, and you ask me to pay you back. I'm afraid you've taken the wrong medicine!

Gu Beichen thought for a long time and said, "And I gave you a family heirloom hairpin, made of pure gold. You can't deny it, right? These are worth several hundred taels of silver."

Liu Yanyan waved her hand and called the yamen runners, "Go to the Duke's Mansion, bring my maids Yuzhu and Yuzhen, and bring back my account books from the General's Mansion."

Gu Beichen heard this and said excitedly, "No, I don't want anything else. Just give me these few hundred taels of silver. I don't want anything else."

Zhang Zhushi was also a little impatient. "Master Liu, you don't mind this little bit, just give him the money and save yourself the trouble."

Gu Beichen also said, "That's right! I don't want to bother with that either."

Liu Yanyan said with a cold face, "Are you afraid of the trouble or the checking of accounts? We have to check the accounts clearly today." After that, she waved her hand and asked the paused yamen runner to go and call for someone.

The bailiff then bowed and left.

Zhang looked at Liu Yanyan with a trace of contempt, and said, "Lord Liu, Gu Beichen doesn't care, so you shouldn't be too serious! He doesn't ask for much, just a few hundred taels of silver, isn't it easy for you?"

Liu Yanyan had a cold face and a somewhat impatient tone, "I have never taken anything from his family, why should I give him money? If Master Zhang loves him, why don't you just pay for the money!"

Manager Zhang was choked and wanted to show off, but when he thought about his family's situation, he shut up. Why should he give out hundreds of taels of silver for nothing?

Gu Beichen saw Zhang's expression and kowtowed, "Sir, please be merciful. If I can't get the silver, I will be beaten to death. Sir, please help me."

Zhang, the chief, was as nauseated as if he had eaten chicken shit. "Gu Beichen, what are you talking about? I am here to solve cases, not to provide relief."

Seeing that Zhang didn't care, Gu Beichen turned around and was about to kowtow to Liu Yanyan. Liu Yanyan was very impatient and said directly, "! You two hold him hostage, and wait for my maid to bring the account book and then we can check the accounts carefully."

Two yamen runners immediately pushed Gu Beichen to the ground and said, "Don't move. You will be punished for disturbing the court, General Gu."

When Gu Beichen heard this, his face froze and he stopped moving immediately, his face full of disappointment, he didn't know how he had fallen to this point.

Liu Yanyan watched him calm down before she withdrew her gaze, took the tea brought by the yamen runner, took a sip, and waited quietly.

Time passed by little by little, and Gu Beichen's forehead was covered with fine beads of sweat.

When Liu Yanyan was about to lose her patience, the bailiff finally arrived with Yuzhu, Yuzhen and housekeeper Liu.

After Butler Liu came in, he bowed to Master Zhang and said, "Greetings, sir."

Zhang Zhushi said, "Let's get started. Today, Gu Beichen sued County Lady Liu and asked her to return the money, so I asked you to check the account books that were originally in the General's Mansion."

Yuzhu looked at Gu Beichen with disdain, then turned to the adult and said, "Sir, I have brought the account books. Please take a look." After that, she handed the account books to the yamen runner who was waiting beside her.

Zhang took the account book handed over by the yamen runner and flipped through it bit by bit. The more he looked, the darker his face became. How could Gu Beichen have the nerve to come to the yamen to beat the drum and complain? After flipping through several account books, he was so angry that veins popped out. "Gu Beichen, how dare you come to complain." After saying that, he casually threw an account book at Gu Beichen's face.

Gu Beichen was frightened. He struggled and took the account book to look through it. After turning a few pages, his face turned black. "Sir, sir, this must be fake. It must be fake. My mother manages everything in the house. How could she give so much money to the mansion? She is not a virtuous woman. How could she buy ginseng for my mother to nourish her body? This must be fake."

Yuzhu couldn't stand it and scolded her harshly, "What right do you have to say that to Miss? Miss sold her dowry and bought the Tianshan Snow Lotus to rescue you. How dare you say that to Miss? You are really a wolf with a human head!"

Gu Beichen was so angry that he said, "How can a maid like you have the right to speak? Get out of here." He stared at Liu Yanyan and said flatteringly, "Yanyan, please, save me! I can't live anymore. Please save me for the sake of our marriage. One night of marriage is worth a hundred days of grace. Yanyan, please."

Liu Yanyan curled her lips and said, "We have no affection for each other."
