Chapter 314

“Let’s go.” Qin Jiu didn’t bother to pay attention to Li Qin Wang Fei and just faintly glanced at the other party, made a gesture to Du Ruo for her to follow, and walked away on her own.

However, this faint glance of Qin Jiu, in the eyes of Li Qin Wang Fei, was like a hard slap on her face.

This disrespectful and rude girl doesn’t respect her elders!

Li Qin Wang Fei was even angrier and ordered again, “Stop her for this wangfei!”

So, the maidservants immediately responded to the order and aggressively approached Qin Jiu, blocking her way.

Qin Jiu wasn’t someone who would suffer loss and immediately reached for the whip.

Du Ruo on the other hand thought that her fist would not be enough to beat these old momos, and looked in the direction of the Xiao mansion, thinking that she still had a chance to call for help.

“Squeak!”

At the same time, the door of the Xiao Mansion opened and a woman draped in a black cloak came out, it was none other than Madam Xiao.

Madam Xiao’s face looked cold and dignified, her pair of old and wise eyes were shining brightly making the seven to eight maidservants behind her look blurry.Visitt novelbin(.)co/m for the latest updates

“Stop!”

Madam Xiao slightly raised her voice and bellowed, striding towards Li Qin Wang Fei and Qin Jiu.

Seeing Madam Xiao come, Du Ruo’s heart breathed a long sigh of relief and was completely at ease.

Li Qin Wang Fei was in a daze as she never expected that things would develop to this point.

“Wangfei....” the old momo called out to Li Qin Wang Fei apprehensively, knowing that things were not good.

Only then did Li Qin Wang Fei react and hastily commanded, “Quick, chase them!”

Li Qin Wang Fei hurriedly boarded her royal carriage while holding the hem of her dress and ordered the young servant, “Go back and report to wangye!”

In just a few words, Li Qin Wang Fei was already sweating and her heart was as cold as ice, if Duan Wang Fei beats the dengwen drum, the whole capital, no, the whole Daqi would see the royal family as a joke!

The royal carriage hurriedly chased Madam Xiao’s carriage, knowing the importance of this matter the driver frequently hit the horse with his whip.

Passers-by on the street saw the royal carriage and knew that the owner of the carriage was either rich or noble, so they hurriedly gave way both sides of the street.

The two carriages arrived at the entrance of the palace one after the other, Qin Jiu assisted Madam Xiao getting off the carriage again, then two of them walked towards the Dengwen Drum outside the right gate of Chang’an with a clear goal.

The Dengwen Drum was set up by the founding Emperor of the Qi Dynasty to allow common people to air their grievances as a means of “sending down information” by beating the drums but in order to avoid malicious petitions, according to the law of Daqi, if the person who beat the Dengwen drum had no merit or grant, he would be slapped with 30 sticks.

Madam Xiao was a dignified wangfei, so she was naturally qualified to beat the drum.

The guards around also recognized her, they were first surprised, and then remembered the rumors, so they associated this with the Duan Wang House, looking pensive.

The dengwen drum of the Qi Dynasty has not been beaten for more than ten years, and since the ascension of the current Emperor to the throne, this would be the first time!

Under the scorching gazes of all the guards, Madam Xiao walked to the Dengwen drum in a calm manner, raised her hand, and picked up the drumstick, and without hesitation she struck down the drum.

“Dong! Dong! Dong!”
