Chapter 177 is no longer acceptable.
Censor: "..."

What? They're even sending out demons and you're still writing memorials to the emperor?
Suddenly remembering something, the Imperial Censor nodded: "Yes, I must write a memorial impeaching General Zhenyuan for favoring his concubine over his wife and keeping a demonic rat in his household, which is causing trouble."

When the censors wanted to find fault, they were right every time.

Qin Bi didn't care about impeaching others; she wouldn't care if the Zhenyuan General's entire family was executed! Qin Bi reminded the censor, "The memorial that impeached me."

The censor denied it to the death: "How could I impeach the Crown Princess? I'm not senile."

Before the fairy appeared, everyone was clamoring to petition her.

Qin Bi: "..."

"They're not going to interfere with me anymore?" Qin Bi understood, but wasn't sure.

"I will not participate," the censor said.

Qin Bi didn't know the censor, and since there was nothing else to do, she turned and left. Her Rong Yang was quite wild; the little girl was fiercely aggressive, taking her little shoes to fight the demon rat spirit, and she wasn't coming back with Lin Yao.

Prince Rong rushed over, and the Minister of War pulled him aside to explain how a demonic rat spirit had appeared: "Prince Rong, a demonic rat spirit has just appeared. She first bewitched people, and I fell for her tricks."

Prince Rong asked in surprise, "Where is the demon rat spirit?"

"They've escaped." The Minister of War pounded his chest and stamped his feet in frustration.

The demon rat has become a spirit, so we should kill it as a warning to others. But since we've never seen a real demon, we panicked and she got away. But no worries, as long as she reveals her true form, that's fine. The only problem is if the demon looks like a human and we can't tell the difference.

The Minister of War finally realized how powerful it was for demons to bewitch people.

When Rong Yang saw Rong Shizi, she put on her little shoes and ran to Qin Bi. Qin Lang immediately followed. Lin Yao went to find Rong Shizi and told him what had happened. Oh my god, he had seen a demon.

Lin Yao had only ever heard of demons in the Great Chu and the Rongdi, but this was the first time he had ever seen a real demon in the Great Yan.

Rong Yang ran up to Qin Bi and said, "Mother, Father will scold you."

"I was being mean to you, not to me," Qin Bi said, tapping her chin.

"Why are you being mean to me?" Rong Yang asked, tilting her little head up.

"I won't stop you from coming with me," Qin Bi said, giving her reason: "I'll just be mean to you."

Rong Yang nodded her little head: "Oh, I understand."

Taking out a handful of boiled melon seeds, Rong Yang said, "Mother, have some melon seeds. Let's watch the excitement until we've had our fill before we leave."

When the Crown Prince Rong heard this, he laughed in exasperation. After checking that Qin Bi and Rong Yang were unharmed, the Crown Prince Rong was relieved. The Minister of War and the Imperial Censor followed, and the crowd gathered in small groups to discuss the exciting scene that had just unfolded.

The thought of the demon's bared teeth filled the ladies with dread, and they forgot their fear when they fought the demon.

Qin Bi then noticed that only the wife of General Zhenyuan, Su Shoujun, had a detached expression. General Zhenyuan, Zhang Bing, and his son went over to call her, but she ignored them. Seeing this, the Duchess of Su walked over.

"Shou'en," said the Duchess of Su, "you have been repeatedly framed by the demon, I'm so sorry."

Instead of helping her sister-in-law, she treated Liang Yan like a sister. She couldn't even imagine how sad Su Shouyun must have been all these years, with her own family being misled into believing Liang Yan instead of her.

Upon hearing this, Su Shouhun's eyes welled up with tears: "Nobody believes me. She harmed me. They all blame me."

Lady Su's eyes also reddened, and Su Shoujun threw herself into Lady Su's arms and cried loudly: "My child, the child I was carrying had her take her heart's blood as a medicinal ingredient, she, even if she showed her true form, it would not be enough to relieve my hatred."

Su Shoujun cried bitterly, and all the ladies and young misses shed tears.

“Mother,” called out the eldest son of General Zhenyuan. Su Shoujun wiped away her tears and said coldly, “I am not your mother. Your mother is Liang Yan.”

“Mother, why say such hurtful things?” The eldest son of General Zhenyuan showed a sad expression: “You have always been my mother. She, she… she is a demon. Actually, she didn’t harm anyone.”

Thinking of her lost child, Su Shoujun shouted angrily, "Get out!"

The eldest son of General Zhenyuan was deathly pale, his face drained of color, and he appeared on the verge of collapse. At that moment, a gasp rang out from not far away; Liang Yan's son had fainted from the shock.

The eldest son of General Zhenyuan ignored Su Shoujun and ran over to help General Zhenyuan carry the boy away.

“Let their family go.” The Duchess of Su was not swayed and her judgment returned. She pulled the wife of General Zhenyuan and said, “Shou’en, it’s up to you whether to get a divorce or continue the marriage. Come back to the Duchess of Su’s mansion with me first.”

General Zhenyuan's wife nodded: "I'll go back with my sister-in-law."

Several ladies who were on good terms with the Duke of Su's family also offered their support. The wife of the Minister of Revenue said, "Don't feel wronged. No family can live peacefully with a vixen living in their home. You're lucky you weren't killed."

Thinking like this makes me feel a little better.

For so many years, her husband and son have favored his concubine. The wives of the various households can roughly guess how miserable General Zhenyuan's wife has been. They sighed and thought, "That damned vixen, Liang Yan deserves to die, and General Zhenyuan is no good either."

Glancing at the departing members of the Zhenyuan General's Mansion, he realized that this son was no longer worth keeping.

Qin Lang tugged at Qin Bi's sleeve and looked at the group from the Zhenyuan General's Mansion: "Sister, is Liang Yan's son her biological son? If he is, could he be a demon rat spirit?"

"You want to know?" Qin Bi wanted to know too.

Qin Lang nodded: "I'm curious to know. I'm afraid he'll turn into a demon rat and run around at night."

Qin Bi held out her hand: "Ten crystals."

Qin Lang: "..."

"I don't have ten crystals," Qin Lang said, sounding troubled.

If it doesn't exist, then there's no point in knowing. Heaven has its own arrangements, so Qin Bi stopped being curious.

Jiang Xu and Rong Yan returned from fighting the Rat Demon. Both of them were very excited. Rong Yan pulled Qin Lang aside and talked about the Rat Demon in a very detailed way. It was the first time Rong Yan had ever seen a Rat Demon since he was a child.

Those who had defeated the demon rat spirit all acted like they'd seen it all, and started chatting with a group of people.

The Crown Prince Rong abandoned the Minister of War and returned home with his wife and children. His youngest son, Rong Chi, was given to his grandfather, the King of Rong, because the Crown Prince Rong did not trust anyone else to take care of the child.

Inside the carriage, Prince Rong, without being aggressive, held Rong Yang and instructed Qin Bi: "Don't be so impulsive in the future. Demons are monsters, vicious and treacherous. It would be bad if you got hurt by her."

The man meant well for her, and Qin Bi nodded: "General Zhenyuan's wife still owes me seven demon beast crystals."

Prince Rong's eyes flashed, and he nodded to indicate that he understood.

Rong Yang's eyes lit up as she said, "Father, I hit the demon rat with my shoe."

The arrogant Rong prince looked down on her and said, "My son is naturally not afraid of demons."

Upon returning to the Rong Prince's residence, the Rong heir took his youngest son back to his own courtyard.

The news that the concubine of the Zhenyuan General's Mansion was a demon spread quickly, and people who went to admire the flowers would boast to everyone they met about beating the demon.

Qin He didn't believe it at all: "How could that be? I've met Madam Liang Yan from the Zhenyuan General's Mansion. She's beautiful and kind-hearted. How could she be a demon?"

Qin He had a very good impression of Liang Yan.
