Nāgata: Infernal Night, Qinghan and I are True Love

Chapter 101 Wei Qing's Change of Heart

(Two thousand words were added to the previous chapter)

The three women were somewhat surprised: "Yue Shan?"

Wei Qing frowned deeply: "Why is he here?"

She doesn't know how to face Yue Shan now, or rather, she doesn't want to see Yue Shan.

During this time, she gradually began to accept her older sister and her so-called brother-in-law, Xu Tianyi.

Life settled down.

To be honest, she had a very fulfilling life in the eleven counties under Xu Tianyi's leadership, because it allowed her to fully display her talents.

She enjoys solving cases, but cases in the Wuji Empire become incredibly complicated once they involve high-ranking officials or powerful families.

Even if she knew the truth and knew that the person was not the murderer, she would still choose to comply with so-called social norms against her will.

For the Wuji Empire, the law seems to apply only to ordinary people and the lowest of the low.

But it was different for Xu Tianyi. Even officials he personally promoted would be punished if they violated the law.

She only needs to investigate the case and give her conclusions and suggestions, and Xu Tianyi generally won't refuse her.

Even Liu Qingfeng, Xu Tianyi's prime minister, was whipped by her for accepting gifts.

Most of the former leaders, including Ma Luping, have now been dismissed and are awaiting reinstatement due to violations of the law.

His selection of officials seems to consider more than just moral character.

Talent and character are also important.

As Xu Tianyi gradually settled down, she began to contemplate her own future.

She was no longer willing to compromise with those high-ranking officials and dignitaries.

Even though she was the adopted daughter of the King of Qi and held the position of Commander of the Imperial Guard, the other party still showed her no respect.

Those spoiled brats, if they beat someone to death in the street, they'll just pay some money and call it a day. If you don't take responsibility, they won't even pay any money.

After the compensation is paid, there are even subsequent retaliations against the family members of the person who was killed.

If they dared to make them pay compensation, they would make the other party's family disappear.

Therefore, I don't even dare to get involved in these matters.

Reporting it up does have an effect, but if you report it every day, the higher-ups will just protect each other.

No one wants to offend a powerful family for the sake of a commoner.

Other cases included abducting women, killing innocent people to claim credit, human trafficking, land annexation, usury, and collusion with enemy countries.

In some of the cases, Wei Qing could even see the cause and effect at a glance.

But so what?

The entire court is a group of vested interests; what can I do?

In the end, she could only come to suppress bandits and quell rebellions, search for the rebellion of the Valley God Sect, and assist in eliminating the anti-king rebels.

Is it that she doesn't want to continue investigating the case?

No..

She was ostracized.

The Jade-Faced Judge, also the adopted daughter of the King of Qi, is of high status and position. She causes trouble for officials every day, and everyone hates her.

Under pressure from his ministers, the King of Qi had no choice but to demote her.

But here's the problem: even though she was sent down to quell the rebellion, Wei Qing's work still involved dealing with the lowest-class common people, which made her feel extremely guilty.

Seeing how fairly Xu Tianyi handled the matter, she stayed.

She has been very happy these past few months.

This feeling of punishing evil and upholding the law gave her a sense of meaning in her life.

She knew she wouldn't be here for long, but she was already reluctant to leave.

At this moment, when Yue Shan arrived, she felt no joy at seeing her so-called childhood sweetheart.

All I felt was worry and fear.

Seeing her complicated expression, Xu Tianyi immediately teased, "Oh, little sister-in-law, you must be excited to see your childhood sweetheart. Maybe he came all this way just to see you..."

Gu Qinghan chuckled and secretly watched her.

Ji Yingying was contemplating whether or not to arrest Wei Qing. It was the King of Chu's order, but it seemed she no longer needed to obey him...

"Childhood sweethearts? Heh, just childhood play..."

Xu Tianyi was stunned; he hadn't expected Wei Qing to say that.

"Didn't I say last time that he's a general, and what he did wasn't wrong..."

Wei Qing shook her head: "I don't want to see him. I never imagined that after three years in Yunzhou, he would become like this..."

Xu Tianyi sighed helplessly, "Whatever you want... Yue Shan is still pretty good..."

Wei Qing seemed a little resentful at this moment: "Not as good as you!!"

Upon hearing this, Xu Tianyi was stunned, Gu Qinghan was stunned, and Ji Yingying looked at the two of them, completely bewildered as to what had happened.

After thinking for a moment, Xu Tianyi recovered.

"Everyone has their own feelings, and of course, I think I'm great too..."

Gu Qinghan laughed when she heard him say that: "Tianyi is the best..."

Only Ji Yingying remained silent. Xu Tianyi raised an eyebrow at her: "Little Yingying? It's your turn..."

Ji Yingying rolled her eyes at him.

He's willing to help me like this, so how can I say he's bad?

"You're doing great..."

"Haha, I knew it! I'm quite successful as a person..."

The group of people burst out laughing.

Since he had nothing better to do, Xu Tianyi simply asked the maid to prepare a hot pot.

This isn't difficult to make; chili peppers are also available in the Wuji Empire.

Xu Tianyi even had someone open a hot pot restaurant.

At first, Wei Qing wasn't used to dining with others.

But as time went on, she came to accept Xu Tianyi and Gu Qinghan.

At this moment, only Ji Yingying was somewhat stunned.

As Gu Qinghan served her food, she gradually learned how to do it.

It must be said that Qinghan was a very virtuous wife.

She works as her own assistant at work and manages her personal life in an orderly manner.

She had the typical manners of a wealthy young lady; she took care of all the maids and the tidying up of the entire courtyard.

With her around, our home feels much warmer.

Seeing her happy face, Xu Tianyi also smiled.

"What are you grinning about? Eat up..."

Gu Qinghan's beautiful face was full of smiles, and she was just as satisfied as she was with Xu Tianyi.

The two fed each other tenderly.

The two women next to them exchanged a glance and rolled their eyes.

Eating hot pot, and then having to eat dog food too?

Wei Qing couldn't take it anymore: "That's enough..."

Xu Tianyi laughed heartily: "Come on, come on, don't neglect my sister-in-law..."

He usually wouldn't serve food to Wei Qing, but this time he suddenly picked up a piece of potato and Wei Qing snorted and actually ate it.

He turned his head and gave Gu Qinghan a provocative look.

Gu Qinghan was amused. She didn't care about these things anymore and directly put another piece of mushroom on her plate.

This made Wei Qing's heart flutter.

Doesn't your sister care?

She got excited too, and after finishing her mushrooms, she picked up a piece of meat for Xu Tianyi and even brought it to his mouth.

Xu Tianyi stared in disbelief as Wei Qing fed him, and before he knew it, the meat was in his mouth.

Instantly, all three fell silent.

Xu Tianyi felt a little embarrassed and could only turn his head away.

But when he turned his head, he was face to face with Ji Yingying.

Ji Yingying looked completely innocent and took the opportunity to put a piece of meat on his plate as well.

"Is that right?"

Now, all four of them laughed.

Xu Tianyi swallowed it in one gulp.

"That's good, that's how it is..."

Ji Yingying didn't understand why there were so many rules about feeding someone vegetables.

What are they all so happy about?

. . .

Joyful laughter echoed throughout the government office.

But the laughter stopped a second later.

A whooshing sound came, and a man jumped into the courtyard.

"Qingmei!! I thought I misheard when I heard your voice, you're really here!"

Yue Shan jumped in with a look of surprise on his face.

But at that moment, Wei Qing fed Xu Tianyi another piece of meat. With the chopsticks near his mouth, Xu Tianyi was caught in a dilemma: eat it, or not eat it...
