The servant ordered Wei Lin to be dragged down. The man was still struggling and making noise, but his mouth was quickly stuffed shut.

Such a scene caused Xiao Qing to feel that it was a little laughable. Wei Lin had always thought herself to be a noble daughter of the City Lord in the outside world for many years, and in the eyes of Wei Chi, she was someone who could talk back as a servant.

This father and daughter pair had a deep grudge against each other, which was a good thing for him.

After Wei Lin was taken away, Wei Chi tidied up his clothes and forced a smile back on his face. "My daughter is still young and immature. I hope the prince and his wife won't take offense to it."

The title 'Royal Consort' confirmed the existence of Xiao Qing Ran's identity.

Xiao Qingran squinted and did not say anything.

Su Qianhan only said a few polite words before leaving with Xiao Qing Ran by the hand.

The two of them went back into the house and Su Qianhan closed the door. Then, they turned around and looked at Ye Zichen with a smile, "Are you still not going to tell me?"

Su Qian Han walked over and helped her untie her cape, then patted her shoulder and asked, "What did you say?"

She rolled her eyes at that person, "Stop pretending. Wei Chi isn't the kind of person who's anxious to get rid of Wei Lin. I'm afraid you must have done something behind his back to get her married off."

To be able to make Wei Chi feel a sense of crisis, this man did not do one or two things.

"Hehe, then Qingqing, when are you planning to tell me about your situation outside recently?" He sat down across from her and reached for the teapot. He poured her a cup of tea when he saw it was still warm.

Xiao Qing Ran rolled her eyes. "Stop with that. Weren't you monitoring me by making Sufeng follow me? If you said that you knew nothing about what I had done, even if you beat me to death, I wouldn't believe it."

"I didn't spy on you. You can't use words like you're a Qing Qing. I was just concerned about you." He curled his lips and pushed the tea to her side.

Xiao Qing suddenly sent a slap over, "Cut the crap. Get down to business. What exactly did you do?"

"It's nothing. I just got someone to investigate the transactions between Wei Chi and the other city lords in private." A cold glint flashed in Su Qianhan's eyes as he added, "Let me borrow a book from him to take a look."

"A book?" Xiao Qing suddenly frowned.

They had not paid taxes to the imperial government in all these years. Logically speaking, even after experiencing such a long period of calamity, they should have already recovered.

The city that Hua Chengyi was managing had also experienced great calamities, but the development on their side was very good. On the other hand, the largest city here …

This couldn't help but cause people to suspect, that these dozen or so city lords must have colluded with each other in private besides their citizens being forced to pay for their food and money.

"You stole their private bribe book?" Doubt, affirmation.

Su Qian Han nodded his head, "I just didn't expect that the old fox wouldn't be able to sit still after doing such a small thing. Heh, it seems like he has done quite a lot of evil things behind the people's backs."

"Once these things are exposed, even if the case from ten years ago can't be reversed, the people here will despise him and kill him for the evil he has committed." Xiao Qing's eyes darkened, "What are you going to do next?"

Su Qian Han laughed and looked at her meaningfully. He then asked, "Qing Qing, what do you think we should do if we want to capture all the scattered rats?"

She raised her eyebrows and immediately understood. She replied with a laugh, "Of course, it means that we've dug a pot of rat's nest."

The man poked her on the forehead and doted on her. "Qingqing is so smart. Then will Qingqing help me?"

Xiao Qingran teased him teasingly and intentionally said: "I don't have anything I can help you with. I'm just a woman, right?"

"A woman?" Su Qianhan raised his eyebrows. "A woman who can train an organization by herself?"

The corner of Xiao Qing's mouth twitched, and she glared at him fiercely: "Bastard, I knew that you had the wind following me in the wrong. But let me tell you, you owe me one this time. "

Su Qian Han raised his eyebrow and extended his hand that was on the table, "Hmm …" Qing Qing, don't worry. I will repay you with my best performance tonight. "

The corner of Xiao Qing's mouth twitched, "..." "Scram!"

This was the first snowfall since the start of winter. Although it was not big, it was not small either. It was not until noon of the second day that Xiao Qing took Li Er out of the Prime Minister's Estate to take a stroll.

Riko understood that their master was sick of eating the food from the general's estate and intended to change the taste.

Before they got halfway to the Glass Temple, they met someone who was trying to stir up trouble on the way.

It was cold today and her clothes were thick. Xiao Qing Ran had only showed signs of being pregnant three months ago, yet she had been foolishly looking at her beauty. Furthermore, she had only brought a little girl, Shui Ling, to make fun of her.

Xiao Qing Ran was originally too lazy to bother with them. However, when she heard the surrounding people say that this person was the sole legitimate son of the Prime Minister, she became interested.

"I'm afraid that Miss has not seen him these past two days as she has been busy running outside. Didn't the City Lord's Mansion's relationship map write down for Miss last time? That Wei Ji?"

Only after being reminded by Rio'er did she come back to her senses.

At that time, he seemed to have seen a scene in which this man was a typical foppish young lord without any brains. He had relied on the fact that he was the eldest son of the family and often acted arrogantly outside.

Xiao Qing Ran sighed to herself. As expected, there were groups of people like them in every world with just a few exclamations. After which, she waved her hand and instructed Riko to send off those few people.

However, Wei Ji thought that the two girls in front of him were powerless and didn't care. He directly went over to touch Xiao Qing's face.

What is such a beautiful woman walking about in such a cold day?" What if it was cold? I might as well hide in my bed for a bit … "Aaah!

He wanted to act like a hooligan, but before he could finish his sentence, he was kicked in the stomach by Riko and sent flying three meters away. Everyone present was stunned.

"This young maid actually dared to hit the son of the Mayor of Wei. Now, she's dead for sure."

"It's over, it's over. Such a beautiful girl is going to be viciously attacked again."

The people around him were either sighing or thinking about watching the show, but no one came to help.

This made Xiao Qing Ran sigh. Were the kindness of the people in the city already this low? Perhaps this didn't mean that the people here were useless. As the person in charge of the country's government, he couldn't stand on his own feet. How could he let ordinary people do such things that went beyond their capabilities?

"Damned woman, you actually dare to hit me! Do you know who I am?!" Wei Lian covered his stomach as he got up from the ground while swearing.

"Heh, of course I know about Mayor Wei's heir." Xiao Qing flicked the snow on her arm that she accidentally rubbed on it, smiling as she spoke.

"Since you know that you actually dare to fight with me, then I'll kill you right now!"

Xiao Qing Qing watched as her servant helped him up from the ground, and took two steps forward with a smile: "Why would I not dare? I know who you are, but that doesn't mean I can't hit you, right? And kill me? I am afraid that Young Master Wei does not have the guts or the ability to do so. "

"You slut, how dare you speak to me like that? I don't care what sort of status you have, but I'm the future city lord. I'm the most respected person here, and all the women in this city are mine!" He gritted his teeth as he looked at Xiao Qing Ran. He did not give up on that idea and became even braver instead, "It is your fortune that I fancy you. However, since you refuse a toast, there is no need for me to be courteous to you!"

As Wei Ji spoke, he immediately instructed the servants beside him, "Both of you, go and tie these two women up to the mansion. Hehe, when this young master has had enough fun, you can have some fun as well!"

The servants seemed to be used to this sort of thing. Upon hearing their master speak, their eyes all began to glow green, and they all swarmed over like a swarm of bees.

Even if Xiao Qinggran did not have any inner strength, he would not be joking around with just his skills. Naturally, he did not put these people in his eyes.

It was the same for Li Er. She did not wait for Xiao Qing Ran's instructions before she pulled back her sleeves and easily knocked those people down. The funniest thing was that she did not use any inner strength.

However, in just a short period of time, Wei Ji had been completely stupefied by the sight of the servants lying on the ground.

Xiao Qingyi laughed and walked towards him step by step: "What? Does Young Master Wei want me to have a good time with you? "

Wei Ji's face paled a little as he took a step back. He wanted to find someone else to block his way, but he couldn't pull out a single one. He could only curse at them as trash, but it was of no use.

Rio'er stood beside her and stretched her wrist as she looked at Wei Ji with a dangerous gaze. "Miss, do you want me to finish off this silkpants as well?"

Naturally, he had never suffered such a loss. Now that he was suddenly dropped by someone, he was naturally afraid and afraid, but he couldn't help but say something fierce, "You two just wait for me, if you dare to touch my people, I won't let you off so easily!"

Xiao Qingyi raised her eyebrows and smiled: "Alright, since Young Master Wei has spoken, I will naturally wait. After all, we need to meet again in the future."

In addition to the fact that he had never seen Xiao Qing Ran before, he naturally did not think of the deeper meaning behind her words and only thought that she was threatening him.

In addition, Riko's expression and purposely rubbing her hands together made her feel even more uneasy. She called out to the servant, causing him to escape in a very sorry manner.

"Hmph, what a coward!" Riko spat in disdain as she fumed, "Why did Miss let him go on purpose? Why didn't you let me teach that young master a lesson?"

"It would be great if I could teach him a lesson after beating him up." Xiao Qinglan twirled her finger, giving her a meaningful look: "Just you wait, I still have other things to play with in the future."

Even trash can be used, right?
