My Dear Wife, Please Be Gentle!-Chapter 1193 - 1199: Hand It Over

She also thought there was something fishy about the woman that Hong Yan brought back, but she absolutely did not believe she was a side consort of King Liang.

With such a noble status, how could she possibly come to this place?

Just then, a burst of wild laughter came from the west wing, sounding somewhat eerie.

The woman furrowed her brows, ever since that woman arrived, there had not been a single day of peace at home.

Yet, Hong Yan had made up his mind and was determined to keep that woman.

While she was stunned, Luo Qingfeng squeezed through the door crack and unwittingly left the door ajar.

When the woman came to her senses, she hurriedly tried to stop him, "Just who are you people? Be careful, or I’ll take you to the government office, trespassing into a home is a serious crime!"

Even though it wasn’t a crime punishable by beheading, the local magistrate, on account of Hong Yan’s face, would surely have enough to deal with these people.

But as a mere woman, she could not stop several grown men, and could only watch helplessly as they went to the west wing.

Upon opening the door, they indeed saw Li Mu’er, who they had been desperately searching for.

"Qiao Duo’er you slut, you’re finally dead. My cousin will be mine from now on, I will bear him many, many children."

"Cousin, you must love me dearly, and never look at other women again, or else I’ll make them all die!"

"You’re finally mine; you have no idea how much I’ve suffered for you. I married King Liang who fancies men, and even bore children for an ugly coachman."

Li Mu’er, talking to a pillow, alternated between crying and laughing; she was most likely mad.

Hong Yan, seeing the newcomers, quickly hid Li Mu’er behind him, "What are you trying to do?"

"How audacious of you, a guard of Prince Liang, knowing the law and breaking it, compounding your crime. However, considering that you were momentarily confused, if you hand her over, I can lessen your punishment."

Qin Longyun decided to give him another chance.

Seeing Hong Yan’s behavior, he realized he was simply too in love with Li Mu’er, and there was nothing wrong with love itself.

Hong Yan sneered lightly, "She may be at fault, but has she killed anyone? Your Madams and children have all gone back safely, yet she was humiliated by so many people and almost hanged. Is such punishment not enough?"

"She used Urn Technique to harm others; for this one crime alone, she deserves to die a thousand times," Tan Zhenghong snorted coldly.

Li Mu’er, yearning for Bai Yifan but unable to obtain his love, thus harbored hatred for Qiao Duo, repeatedly harming her and even refusing to spare her children.

What kind of mind would think such a ruthless woman innocent?

"Urn Technique? Which of you officials is not more malicious than this? Accepting bribes, taking lives indiscriminately—she deserves death far less than you!"

Qin Longyun straightened his back, "I’ve been an official for three years and have never accepted a single bribe; the cases I’ve handled had no wrongful judgment, and Tan Zhenghong has always been upright and just, saving the people from fire and water. Where is your conclusion coming from? I advise you to hand over the person honestly, otherwise, you won’t be able to escape either!"

"Don’t waste words with him, they’re all mad," Luo Qingfeng said, getting ready to seize the person. Hong Yan’s fixation was too deep, and more talking was just a waste of time.

"Don’t come any closer!" Hong Yan revealed the explosives tied around his waist.

He knew these people wanted Li Mu’er’s spirit blood, but as long as he lit the fuse, their plans would be thwarted!

Qin Longyun and the others, fearing that Hong Yan would lose his sanity, could only take two steps back.

Before they could speak, the woman collapsed to the ground.

"Child, think about it clearly, do you really want to lose your life for this vixen?" the woman’s face was streaked with tears.

Having lost her husband early, she had raised Hong Yan with great difficulty and had even found him a position at the government office; she thought their lives would improve, so how did it come to this?
