Kick out the general as soon as you are reborn

Liu Yanyan's words attracted the attention of Concubine Li and Concubine He to the slightly bulging belly of Concubine Li.

Concubine Li smiled and said, "Sister Li is so lucky. This time she has the prince's child. It's really enviable."

Concubine He looked at her belly and touched her belly in annoyance. "Sister Li is so blessed. I also want such a blessing."

Li Shiqi touched her belly and said softly, "Sister, you are joking. The prince likes you so much. It is only a matter of time before you get pregnant with his child."

Turning to Concubine He, he said, "Don't be discouraged, sister He. It will come true sooner or later."

Seeing them shift their gazes, Liu Yanyan spoke up, "Sisters, please stay in the mansion. I have to go to the government office, so I won't accompany you."

Several people then stood up and bowed, "I'll take my leave."

Liu Yanyan nodded slightly, put her hand on Yuzhu's hand, and walked straight out without even looking at them, not wanting to pay any attention to them.

After Liu Yanyan let Yuzhu help her get on the carriage, she turned around and reminded, "Yuzhu, Yuzhen, keep an eye on them and don't let anything happen."

Yuzhu bowed her head and assured, "Princess, don't worry, I will keep a close eye on them."

Only then did Liu Yanyan feel at ease and lower the car curtain, leaning back on the pillow and closing her eyes to rest.

Yamenkou

Liu Yanyan gently lifted the carriage curtain, stepped on the horse stool and walked down, about to enter the yamen.

A soft and tender voice sounded, "I pay my respects to the princess."

Liu Yanyan turned her head slightly when she heard the words, and saw a woman who looked like a lady in a painting, with a hint of freshness in the dust. "Get up! What's the matter with you coming to the government office?"

The woman looked around, stammering and unable to speak.

Seeing this, Liu Yanyan said, "Go into the government office and tell us clearly."

The woman stood up gently, lowered her head, and followed at the end as she walked towards the yamen.

Liu Yanyan had just walked onto the corridor when she met Manager Zhang.

Zhang, the chief official, bowed and said, "I pay my respects to the princess."

Liu Yanyan nodded gently, "Get up!"

After Zhang stood up, he saw the woman behind the princess, his brows furrowed, and he seemed to be hesitant to speak.

Seeing this, Liu Yanyan said, "Master Zhang, do you know this woman? Why does she look like that? Tell me about the situation!"

Mr. Zhang shook his head in embarrassment and said nothing.

Seeing this, Liu Yanyan said to the woman, "Stay in the yard first, I'll call you later."

After saying that, he walked straight into the house, sat behind the desk, looked at Zhang quietly and said, "Can you tell me now? Tell me in detail."

Zhang, the head of the department, said awkwardly, "Princess, she is Wang Shisanniang, a prostitute in Yihong Courtyard. She is here to sue Mr. Feng Kun for marriage fraud."

Liu Yanyan sat upright on the chair, frowning, "Why did she come to sue Mr. Feng?"

Zhang lowered his head and spoke after a long while, "This Wang Shisanniang was a prostitute in Yihong Courtyard. She redeemed herself last year and is considered a good person. She was planning to leave Beijing and return home, but she met a fellow villager named Feng Xiucai who was coming to take the imperial examination. At Feng Juren's pleading, she agreed to sponsor him to take the examination. But Feng Juren disappeared without a trace after taking the examination."

Liu Yanyan was puzzled, "How did the Thirteenth Lady know whether he passed the imperial examination or not?"

Zhang wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "She saw Feng Kun's name on the list, but she couldn't find Feng Kun for several months. She suspected that Feng Kun deliberately cheated her into marriage."

Liu Yanyan said in distress, "Did Thirteenth Lady ask him to write an IOU and a marriage certificate?"

Manager Zhang nodded slightly. "There is only a marriage certificate written by Feng Kun, and no IOU."

Liu Yanyan rubbed her swollen forehead and sighed that this was another infatuated person. "Since Shisan Niang is here to sue, regardless of her original identity, she is now a good citizen and is qualified to sue. You should go to court! Investigate thoroughly."

Seeing this, Zhang Zhushi nodded awkwardly, "Okay, Princess. I will prepare it right away."

Liu Yanyan nodded slightly, picked up the teacup on the table and drank a sip of tea, calmed down, then straightened her clothes and walked towards the court.

Seeing that Director Zhang was sitting at the desk next to him, he walked straight to his own desk and sat down.

Zhang, the chief official, dropped the gavel and asked, "Who is in the hall?"

Wang Shisan Niang bowed and said, "I am from Jingzhou, and I am the first wife of Feng Kun, a successful candidate in the imperial examination. Feng Kun has been avoiding me since the imperial examination, so I came to accuse him of marriage fraud."

Seeing that Zhang looked hesitant, Liu Yanyan signaled him with her eyes.

Zhang Zhushi nodded slightly and said, "You runners, go and ask Mr. Feng to come over. Mr. Feng's rank is not high, so he must still be in Beijing."

Hearing this, Wang Shisanniang raised her handkerchief to wipe her tears, looking very pitiful. "Thank you, sir. I just can't accept it. He clearly said that if I pass the exam, he would marry me in a grand ceremony. He wrote the marriage certificate to me a long time ago."

Seeing this, Liu Yanyan comforted him and said, "Don't cry, the bailiff will definitely find your Feng Kun."

Only then did Wang Shisan Niang nod slightly and kneel gracefully in the hall.

Liu Yanyan had seen too many unfaithful people, and when she saw Shisan Niang like this, she felt that she was being cheated.

Having not seen Feng Kun for a long time, Liu Yanyan went to the back hall. As soon as she arrived there, she saw Shuhui looking at her from behind with a curious look on her face.

Liu Yanyan walked to the back corridor and said helplessly, "Shuhui, why are you here? Aren't you on duty today?"

Shuhui touched her nose and followed him out. "Isn't this out of curiosity? I just came over to take a look."

Liu Yanyan sat on the stone bench, looked at her and said, "I don't know what the situation is yet. Now it's all what Shisan Niang said. Even the Juren Feng Kun hasn't been found."

After Shuhui sat down, she touched her nose and said, "Is there such a person?"

Liu Yanyan said calmly, "It's normal that you don't know. It may be because you are ranked low! It may take some time for the people in the government to find you."

Shuhui pushed the cake forward and said, "I have no impression of it at all. If a plaque falls down in Beijing, it can hit several officials. This scholar really has no sense of existence at all."

Liu Yanyan nodded gently and said, "That's true, but Feng Kun is of no importance to us. To Shisan Niang, she is probably the most important. Judging from the reaction of Zhang Zhushi, she has come to the yamen more than once."

Shuhui nodded gently when she heard this, "Yanyan, eat first. I don't know how long the trial will take!"

Liu Yanyan nodded slightly, picked up a piece of cake, took a bite, and put it down, sighing in her heart, "This must be made by Shuhui herself again. Every time it looks good but tastes bad, without exception."

Seeing this, Shuhui said, "Yanyan, eat more. I've tried this a few times and it's delicious!"

Seeing her excited look, Liu Yanyan said, "I ate too much this morning and can't eat now. I'll eat later."

Shuhui heard this and said, "Okay, I'll save it for you, you can eat it later."

Liu Yanyan smiled bitterly, "Okay, keep it for me!" Just then, she saw several yamen runners and a scholar coming over. "I'll go in first and talk to you later."
