Chapter 175

Lin Yao finally understood what it meant to be fearless because of one's backing; their Heir Consort was exactly that—too wild.

The General of Zhenyuan was a second-rank military official, and Liang Yan was the General's secondary wife, having social dealings with the wives of all the civil and military officials. In the eyes of the Heir Consort, the wife of a second-rank military official was not worth taking seriously.

And she even said the person was tired of living; she was wild beyond measure.

"Who are you?" Liang Yan shouted angrily: "I am the General's wife; you are too rude to speak to me like that."

Lin Yao stood out: "This is our Heir Consort."

The wife of Su Yan Guogong knew Qin Bi and frowned slightly: "Qin Bi, show some decorum when speaking to the General's wife. You are an Heir Consort; you should be magnanimous to others and not interfere in other people's family affairs."

The second son of General Zhenyuan stood out: "Apologize to my mother."

"Apologize to her?" Qin Bi acted as if she had heard something incredible, sneering coldly and arrogantly: "Better to let this flat wife of the General's Manor apologize to me first."

"You were rude first." The legitimate eldest son of General Zhenyuan said: "Why should my mother apologize to you first?"

General Zhenyuan Zhang Bing did not know Qin Bi, but he had heard that this Heir Consort was a concubine-born daughter of the Qin Yan Hou Manor. Zhang Bing felt some contempt, but he didn't show it on his face; the top strategist of the Rong Prince Manor, Lin Yao, was still there.

"Heir Consort of Rong, I don't know if you are disliking Liang Yan because you listened to the instigation of the Su family." General Zhenyuan said: "But please do not interfere in the family affairs of my General's Manor. Otherwise, even if you are an Heir Consort, I will submit a memorial to ask the Emperor to decide for my wife."

"Qin Bi." The wife of Su Yan Guogong shook her head at Qin Bi.

The wife of the Minister of Revenue lowered her eyes, pondering which side to stand on.

If this Heir Consort of Rong bullied others and didn't know how to restrain herself, the Censor would definitely impeach the Heir of Rong for indulging his Heir Consort in bullying the families of colleagues. Being aggressive the moment she opened her mouth—if that wasn't bullying others, what was?

Once a concubine-born daughter flies to the top of the branch, her true colors are revealed.

"I can't manage other people's affairs, but I am determined to interfere in the affairs of your General Zhenyuan's family." Since her rebirth, this was the first time Qin Bi had witnessed the ability to bewitch people's hearts, and she sneered: "For this secondary wife of yours to come and jump around in front of me, she is simply tired of living."

This was so wild that General Zhenyuan's nose was almost crooked with anger.

The wife of Su Yan Guogong was also so angry she nearly fainted. This Qin Bi—she had specifically made a trip to the Qin Yan Hou Manor to instruct her sister-in-law to value Qin Bi more in the future. She hadn't expected this concubine-born daughter to be so muddled.

You are only an Heir Consort, not the Rong Heir who holds power over the court; your speech is even more arrogant than the Rong Heir's.

The commotion here was so loud that it had long since alarmed the officials of the Six Ministries who had come here to view flowers. Among them was a Censor, a thin, middle-aged man who had been standing there for a while.

Lin Yao had a headache; the Censor would definitely impeach their Heir at the morning court tomorrow.

"Heir Consort of Rong." The wife of General Zhenyuan said worriedly: "Forget it."

"I accepted your beast crystals, so I definitely cannot forget it." Qin Bi would not let it go.

Rong Yang was a regular guest at the Golden Palace, so he tugged at Qin Bi: "Mother."

Mother was so arrogant that the Censor would even impeach him.

"What?" Liang Yan said loudly: "The older sister even gave you beast crystals? No wonder you want to make things difficult for me. So I wasn't wrong; it was the older sister who deliberately sent someone to find fault with me."

The crowd was in an uproar. The Censor stroked his beard and took out pen and ink: "Preposterous."

The Censor was worthy of being a Censor; he was going to write the impeachment memorial right now.

Lin Yao's vision went black, and he scrutinized Qin Bi with suspicion and uncertainty. Had the Heir Consort been possessed? This style of conduct was simply like two different people compared to her usual self. When had the gentle and weak Heir Consort become so arrogant?

The Minister of War saw the Censor pick up his pen and walked out of the crowd, saying: "Heir Consort, please be cautious in your words and actions."

Qin Lang, Rong Yan, and Jiang Xu had come to view flowers together. Hearing that someone was arguing here, they walked over. They didn't expect it to be Qin Bi. Qin Lang was startled and hurried over to ask what the situation was.

Lin Yao grabbed Qin Lang: "Hurry and persuade the Heir Consort."

Qin Lang was confused. Qin Bi said to the guards: "Beat her for me."

The guard hesitated slightly, then caught Liang Yan off guard and slapped her.

"Preposterous, preposterous..." The Censor was so angry that the hand holding the pen trembled.

The Minister of War couldn't watch anymore. Liang Yan covered her face and pulled on the dark-faced General Zhenyuan, crying: "Husband, she hit me; she is lawless. You are a second-rank military official; even if she is an Heir Consort, she cannot fail to give you face."

Qin Lang finally understood what was going on and rubbed his hands as he went over: "Older sister, the wife of General Zhenyuan has a rank; she isn't someone you can hit just because you want to. She is the family member of a court official."

Qin Bi flicked her sleeves and handed Rong Yang to Qin Lang: "Don't you worry about it."

Qin Lang took Rong Yang. Lin Yao saw that the situation couldn't be salvaged and sent someone to quickly report to the Rong Heir. Looking at this situation, no one but the Heir could control the Heir Consort. Their Rong Heir was a powerful official, not the Emperor; didn't the Heir Consort understand that?

General Zhenyuan walked toward the Censor and bowed: "Censor, please submit a memorial with me tomorrow to impeach her."

The Censor nodded: "No problem."

Qin Bi also had no problem; she wasn't afraid at all. Liang Yan was supported by her two sons, and several ladies also walked over. Liang Yan glared at Qin Bi with hatred: "You bullied the General's Manor; my husband will not let you off."

Qin Bi scanned her with cold eyes: "I think you are just tired of living."

"You dare..." Liang Yan was trembling with anger. A woman who had been pampered for over a decade could not endure such grievances, and her face turned green and white.

Qin Bi was even angrier than Liang Yan. She waved her sleeve, and Liang Yan was knocked to the ground by a gust of wind. General Zhenyuan and his two sons panicked and rushed to support Liang Yan. The faces of the Censor and the Minister of War darkened.

The Minister of War made a decision and said to the Censor: "I will also submit a memorial tomorrow morning."

Liang Yan was held in General Zhenyuan's arms, anger surging in her eyes. She pointed at Qin Bi and said: "Several officials, you all saw it; the Heir Consort of Rong is bullying others with her power."

The Minister of War, the Censor, and the several officials beside them nodded. The Censor said: "We all saw it."

The onlookers were filled with righteous indignation, shouting that the Heir Consort of Rong was bullying others with her power.

"Beast, you still dare to jump around in front of me?" Qin Bi mobilized her destiny and waved her battle energy toward Liang Yan in General Zhenyuan's arms: "Reveal your true form for me."

Everyone was stunned, not knowing what madness Qin Bi was having. Just as they were dazed, General Zhenyuan only felt an invisible force pressing down. His arms felt empty, and the man looked down, his eyes filled with horror.

The crowd was even more scared, jumping in fright. Several ladies were right beside them, watching the gray-furred rat with rolling eyes in General Zhenyuan's arms—a gray-furred rat with oily, smooth fur.

A living beauty turned into a demon rat! The ladies screamed, and the timid ones rolled their eyes and fainted on the spot.

Who had ever seen a beast become a demon? It was the first time for everyone since they were small. The crowd watching the excitement jumped and ran away.

The Censor stood frozen with his pen.
