The wife travels through time and space to honor her husband: The heirless prince raises a child

Chapter 175 A powerful minister is not the emperor

Lin Yao finally understood what it meant to be fearless; their Crown Princess was just like that—too arrogant.

General Zhenyuan was a second-rank military officer, and Liang Yan was his concubine. She had social connections with the wives of civil and military officials. How could the wife of a second-rank military officer be taken for granted by the Crown Prince's wife?

They even said that the other person was tired of living and was incredibly arrogant.

"Who are you?" Liang Yan shouted angrily, "I am the general's wife. It is extremely rude of you to speak to me like this."

Lin Yao stepped forward: "This is our Crown Prince's Consort."

Lady Su, who knew Qin Bi, frowned slightly and said, "Qin Bi, be more polite when you speak to the general's wife. You are the wife of the heir apparent; you should be kind and gentle and not meddle in other people's affairs."

The second son of General Zhenyuan stepped forward: "Apologize to my mother."

"Apologize to her?" Qin Bi scoffed as if she had heard something unbelievable, and said arrogantly, "Let this concubine of the General's Mansion apologize to me first."

"It was you who was rude first," said the eldest son of General Zhenyuan. "Why should my mother apologize to you first?"

General Zhang Bing did not know Qin Bi, but he had heard that this Crown Princess was the illegitimate daughter of Marquis Qin Yan. Zhang Bing looked down on her, but he did not show it on his face. Lin Yao, the chief strategist of the Rong Prince's Mansion, was still there.

“Princess Consort Rong, I don’t know if you dislike Liang Yan because of Su’s instigation.” General Zhenyuan said, “But please don’t interfere in the family affairs of my General’s Mansion. Otherwise, even if you are the Princess Consort, I will submit a memorial to the Emperor to ask him to make a decision for my wife.”

"Qin Bi." The Duchess of Su shook her head at Qin Bi.

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

If this Crown Prince's wife abuses her power and doesn't know when to stop, the censor will also impeach the Crown Prince for condoning his wife's bullying of his colleagues' families. She's always so aggressive; what else could it be but abusing her power?

Once the illegitimate daughter rises to a higher social status, her true colors are revealed.

"I can't interfere in other people's business, but I'm determined to meddle in the affairs of your Zhenyuan General's family." Qin Bi, experiencing the power of bewitching people for the first time since her rebirth, sneered, "You, a mere concubine, are simply asking for trouble by jumping around in front of me."

This guy is so arrogant! General Zhenyuan was so angry he almost lost his mind.

Lady Su was so angry she almost fell over. She had even made a special trip to the Qin Yan Marquis's residence to tell her sister-in-law to take good care of Qin Bi in the future, but she never expected that this concubine's daughter would be so clueless.

You are merely the Crown Prince's consort, not the powerful Crown Prince Rong, yet you speak with even greater arrogance than he does.

The commotion here was so great that it had already alerted the officials from the Six Ministries who came to admire the flowers. Among them was an imperial censor, a thin middle-aged man who had been standing there for a while.

Lin Yao was in a bind; the censor would definitely impeach their heir at tomorrow's morning court session.

"Princess Consort Rong," General Zhenyuan's wife said worriedly, "Never mind."

"I accepted your demon beast crystals, so this can't be left like this," Qin Bi insisted.

Rong Yang was a frequent visitor to the Golden Palace, and tugged at Qin Bi: "Mother."

His mother was so arrogant that even the censor impeached him.

"What?" Liang Yan exclaimed, "Sister gave you a demon beast crystal? No wonder you made things difficult for me. I was right. Sister deliberately sent someone to cause trouble for me."

The crowd erupted in uproar. The censor stroked his beard, took out his pen and ink, and exclaimed, "This is outrageous!"

The censor, as expected of a censor, is already writing a memorial impeaching Qin Bi. Lin Yao's vision blurred, and he scrutinized Qin Bi with suspicion and uncertainty. Could the Crown Princess be possessed? Her behavior is completely different from usual. When did the gentle and weak Crown Princess become so arrogant?

The Minister of War, seeing the censor begin writing, stepped out from the crowd and said, "Princess Consort, please be careful with your words and actions."

Qin Lang, Rong Yan, and Jiang Xu came to admire the flowers. When they heard that there was a quarrel, they came over. Unexpectedly, it was Qin Bi. Qin Lang was startled and quickly went over to ask what was going on.

Lin Yao grabbed Qin Lang: "You should quickly persuade the Crown Princess."

Qin Lang was completely bewildered. Qin Bi said to the guards, "Beat them."

The guard hesitated for a moment, then suddenly slapped Liang Yan across the face.

"Outrageous! Outrageous!" The censor's hand trembled with anger as he held his pen.

The Minister of War couldn't stand it anymore. Liang Yan covered her face and cried to the dark-faced General Zhenyuan, "Husband, she hit me. She's lawless. You are a second-rank military officer, and she is the Crown Prince's wife, so she can't disrespect you."

Qin Lang finally understood what was going on, and rubbed his hands as he went over: "Sister, the wife of General Zhenyuan has a rank, you can't just hit her if you want. She is the family member of an official appointed by the imperial court."

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

Qin Lang took Rong Yang from Lin Yao. Seeing that things were getting out of hand, Lin Yao sent someone to quickly inform the Crown Prince Rong. Judging from the situation, no one but the Crown Prince could control the Crown Princess. Their Crown Prince Rong was a powerful minister, not the emperor. The Crown Princess probably didn't understand.

General Zhenyuan walked over to the censor and bowed, saying, "Your Excellency, please join me in submitting a memorial tomorrow."

The Imperial Censor nodded: "No problem."

Qin Bi was fine with it; she wasn't afraid at all. Liang Yan was supported by her two sons, and several other ladies also went over. Liang Yan glared at Qin Bi hatefully: "You have insulted the General's Mansion. My husband will not let you get away with this."

Qin Bi glanced at her coldly: "I think you're just tired of living."

"How dare you..." Liang Yan trembled with anger. The woman, who had been pampered for more than ten years, could not bear such grievances, and her face turned pale.

Qin Bi was even angrier than Liang Yan. With a flick of her sleeve, she sent Liang Yan sprawling to the ground. General Zhenyuan and his two sons panicked and rushed to help Liang Yan up, while the censor and the Minister of War turned pale.

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

Liang Yan was held in the arms of General Zhenyuan, her eyes surging with anger. She pointed at Qin Bi and said, "My lords, you all saw it. The Crown Princess of Rong is abusing her power."

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

The onlookers were filled with righteous indignation, shouting that the Crown Prince's wife was abusing her power.

"You monster, do you still dare to jump around in front of me?" Qin Bi mobilized her life force and unleashed her battle qi at Liang Yan in General Zhenyuan's arms: "Show me your true form."

Everyone was dumbfounded, not knowing what Qin Bi had done wrong. While they were still in a daze, General Zhenyuan felt an invisible force pressing down on him. His arms suddenly felt empty, and when the man looked down, his eyes widened in horror.

The crowd was terrified. Several ladies were standing nearby, watching the gray-haired rat with shiny fur that General Zhenyuan was holding in his arms.

A beautiful woman turned into a monstrous rat! The ladies screamed, and the timid ones fainted instantly.

Who has ever seen a monster that has become a spirit? I've never seen one since I was a child. The crowd of onlookers jumped and ran away.

The censor froze, pen in hand.
