I just got divorced, and this cold, ruthless, and powerful minister is begging for a third child eve

Qin Mo smiled slightly, but said nothing, his gaze returning to the roadside.

Li Zheng clutched his wrist, staring in astonishment as a woman held his spear in her hand!

"You...you know martial arts!"

Only then did he notice that the woman in front of him was a stunningly beautiful young woman, dressed in a narrow-sleeved dress, with her long hair tied up high, and holding his spear in her hand.

At first glance, it even made him lose his composure.

Li Rong immediately stepped forward, pointed at Gu Mingshuang, and shouted angrily:

"Gu Mingshuang! How dare you! I haven't even dealt with you for bullying Ayu all this time, and you've already come and injured me, and even tried to steal my brother's gun!"

"Brother! She's just an ignorant country bumpkin! She's incredibly arrogant! You saw it all, didn't you? If we don't teach her a lesson, she'll start to bully the entire Li family!"

Li Zheng recalled what Li Rong had said: this woman, relying on the power of Prince Song, usually acted arrogantly and bullied people.

Even the most beautiful face paired with such a wicked heart only evokes disgust!

He frowned in displeasure and said in a deep voice:

"I don't want to embarrass you in the street. Return the spear to me and apologize to Rong'er! Otherwise, I won't let this go today!"

Gu Mingshuang looked at him calmly, her voice becoming colder and more stern.

"General Li, weapons are meant for the enemy, not for the people."

Upon hearing this, Li Zheng became enraged and shouted angrily:

"How dare you lecture this general! Even if you're quick, your stance is completely unstable. You're just a half-baked amateur. Do you think I can't see that?"

Upon seeing this, Gu Mingshuang's brows furrowed with a sharp look.

"Then, young general, try and see if you can take your gun back from me!"

Li Zheng became increasingly furious. How dare a half-baked woman provoke him in the street!

He rushed toward Gu Mingshuang with lightning speed, raising his hand to snatch back his gun, but before he could even touch it, a wooden plank from the roadside suddenly came crashing down on him!

Gu Mingshuang looked in the direction the wooden board had been thrown, pulled her foot back, and quickly retreated.

Li Zheng punched the wooden board and charged at her again.

Her spear slashed through the air with a sudden burst of speed.

Li Zheng scoffed.

"You think you can wield my spear with your meager strength? Dream on!"

However, the next moment, there was a loud bang.

The signboard fell down with a thud!

Li Zheng was completely unprepared for the plaque above his head to fall, and his face darkened.

He quickly stepped back, barely dodging the attack, but the flying debris and dust covered his face.

"Cough cough..." Li Zheng coughed for a while before he could catch his breath.

If the first wooden board was a coincidence, then this plaque is definitely not an accident!

The disdain in his eyes faded, and he frowned.

The woman didn't swing her spear to repel him; she planned to use the plaque to smash him!

This woman was indeed only a mediocre fighter, but her calculations were incredibly accurate! She actually managed to force him to retreat repeatedly!

He really is a vicious person!

"How dare you be so insolent! Do you really think this general wouldn't dare to touch you?!"

He gripped his sword, his face cold and stern.

He had only used 30% of his strength because he thought the person opposite him was a woman.

But now, he was truly enraged!

He saw that there was a wall behind Gu Mingshuang, so even if she was cunning, she was helpless!

Li Rong was also annoyed.

"Brother! You mustn't let her go!"

Li Zheng was filled with rage and about to take a step when a chilling voice rang out.

"I have truly had my eyes opened today."

The clear, deep voice rang out, and an immediate sense of oppression descended.

Those with sharp eyes quickly bowed.

"Greetings, Duke Anguo!"

Qin Mo glanced at the people who stepped forward to bow, and said indifferently:

"No need for formalities. I was just out listening to music today when I stumbled upon this commotion."

Li Zheng was stunned for a moment, then quickly stepped forward and bowed.

"Li Zheng pays his respects to the Duke!"

Upon hearing that it was the Duke of Anguo, Li Rong turned pale with fright and hurriedly followed her brother to curtsy and pay her respects.

Unlike his easygoing manner with others, Qin Mo glanced at the brother and sister indifferently and never offered to remove the formalities.

Li Zheng's fingers trembled slightly, and his face turned pale.

In his eagerness to receive a word of guidance from the Duke of Anguo, he sent visiting cards and generous gifts every day, pulling many strings, but he still couldn't get a meeting with the Duke of Anguo.

Who knew that the first time I met him in person would be like this?

Moreover, he subconsciously felt that he had somehow offended this Great Zhou War God.

Seeing that her brother didn't dare to look up, Li Rong's face turned pale. She felt an extremely strong sense of coldness and was so frightened that her legs started to tremble.

Qin Mo looked around and chuckled:

"I never expected that the young general would like to gesture with people in the street."

He turned to look at Gu Mingshuang, a slight smile curving his lips, but his eyes remained dark and unfathomable.

"You've been in Kyoto for so long and still don't know the rules? You dare to play with the young general's spear?"

As he spoke, he reached out his hand to Gu Mingshuang.

Gu Mingshuang bit her lip, reluctantly took the spear, and tossed it to Qin Mo.

"Your Excellency is right; it was I who did not know the proper etiquette."

Seeing the annoyance in Gu Mingshuang's eyes, Qin Mo's lips twitched slightly.

She has quite a temper.

The next moment, Qin Mo turned his hand back and increased the force as he handed the spear to Li Zheng.

Caught off guard, Li Zheng felt a sharp pain in his knee as an extremely powerful force pressed down on him!

He was completely defenseless, and with a sway of his body, he fell to his knees in Gu Mingshuang's direction!

At that moment, Gu Mingshuang was completely dumbfounded.

She was just angry that Qin Mo helped his colleague Li Zheng, but who knew that the next moment would be like this.

Qin Mo wasn't helping Li Zheng get his spear back at all; he was clearly using this opportunity to slap Li Zheng in the face!

Gu Mingshuang's heart stirred slightly.

Was Qin Mo trying to establish his authority? Or... was he standing up for her?

At this moment, Qin Mo merely glanced at Li Zheng indifferently and said:

"Young General, you won't blame me for being a bit rough with my hands after just returning from the northern frontier, will you?"

Li Zheng, his face pale, struggled to his feet and said with his head down:

"It's because my skills are lacking, and I've made a fool of myself in front of the Duke."

He suddenly remembered the tone of Qin Mo's voice when he spoke to Gu Mingshuang.

His expression suddenly changed.

Gu Mingshuang actually has such a relationship with the Duke of Anguo!

Finished!

Seeing that his younger sister was still unconvinced and wanted to stand up, Li Zheng grabbed Li Rong and bowed.

"Your Excellency, we acted rashly and caused much trouble today. We hope Your Excellency will forgive us!"

Qin Mo's eyes narrowed slightly.

"It was just a joke, Young General, why do you say that?"

Li Zheng nodded repeatedly.

"Yes! Your Excellency is right. We will take our leave now and will not disturb you any longer."

With that, Li Zheng pulled Li Rong up and left quickly, his face pale.

Li Zheng only let go of her hand when they reached the carriage at the far street corner.

Li Rong said urgently:

"Brother! My feet hurt! Why are you walking so fast!"

Li Zheng frowned and said:

"From now on, please don't make things difficult for the heir apparent's wife..."

Before he could finish speaking, Li Rong grabbed his sleeve and questioned him.

"Brother! What are you saying! Look at how badly she bullied your sister today!"

Seeing his beloved younger sister's eyes redden, Li Zheng softened his tone with heartache.

"I know Rong'er was wronged today. I'll buy you some jewelry later. Just listen to me and don't go looking for her again."

Li Rong's anger intensified.

"Brother! Are you afraid of her? She only knows a little bit of kung fu, right? Are you, a general, afraid of a woman?"

Li Zheng said urgently:

"It's not that I'm afraid of her, it's just that even the Duke of Anguo has intervened..."

Li Rong said urgently:

"The Duke of Anguo's visit today was purely coincidental. You don't actually think that country girl could get the Duke of Anguo to back her up, do you?"

Just as Li Zheng was about to explain the implications, his subordinates came rushing over from a distance.

"Young General! Lord Fang urgently summons you to the Ministry of War!"

Li Zheng didn't have time to explain to his sister, he only instructed her:

"Don't wander off, let's go back to the manor first."

Seeing Li Zheng leave in a hurry, Li Rong gritted her teeth in anger and finally gave the order:

"To the Marquis of Ningyuan's residence!"

She wanted to have a serious talk with Xie Lanyu!

The driver quickly advised:

"Miss, didn't the young general just tell you to return to the manor?"

Li Rong was already furious and wouldn't listen to anything else, angrily shouting:

"I can go wherever I want!"

At this moment, by the roadside.

Gu Mingshuang glanced at Qin Mo, who was standing leisurely in front of her, then looked down at him guiltily.

Seeing that Qin Mo still didn't speak, she got annoyed and gritted her teeth.

"Is the Duke going to lecture me again? Anyway, I'm a lawless person, so you can punish me as you please!"

Qin Mo raised his hand, and the person in front of him tilted his head, as if he was really afraid that he would hit her.

Seeing her momentarily timid, Qin Mo pressed down on his lips and reached out to brush the dandruff from her head.

"You were bullied, and this is all you can do to fight back? You almost made me lose face; you definitely deserve to be punished."

Gu Mingshuang didn't expect that his big hand would brush her head, as if he were petting a kitten or puppy.

She was both embarrassed and annoyed, and gritted her teeth, saying:

"Yes! I have disgraced the Duke! Someone as ignorant of etiquette as me has disappointed the Duke!"

Qin Mo laughed out loud.

"He has quite a temper."

Gu Mingshuang bit her lip, took two steps forward, then turned back and walked up to Qin Mo.

"Before the Duke punishes me, he must first pay the fine for me."

She pointed to the plaque on the ground.

Qin Mo raised an eyebrow, looking at her with considerable interest.

"You broke things, and you expect me to pay for it?"

Gu Mingshuang raised her chin and said, word by word:

"Naturally, the Duke will provide the money. I learned these tricks from the Duke, so he can be considered my mentor."

Qin Mo looked at her.

"Half a master?"

Gu Mingshuang opened her eyes wide.

"The Duke has already taught us, and now you don't want to acknowledge it? It's too late!"

She quickly turned to the waiter beside her and said:

"We'll have to ask this gentleman for compensation for the wooden planks and the damaged signboard!"

After speaking, Gu Mingshuang turned around and bowed to Qin Mo.

"My lord, I have other matters to attend to, so I will take my leave now!"

She turned to leave, but unexpectedly, her neck tightened as someone grabbed her collar.

"When did you leave?"

Gu Mingshuang bit her lip.

"Isn't the Duke busy today? I won't disturb you any longer..."

Qin Mo did not let go, only glancing indifferently at the sword shadow beside him.

"Go and pay the money back."

The shop assistant, who was dumbfounded, dared not ask the Duke for compensation and waved his hands repeatedly.

Sword Shadow simply tossed a money pouch over.

The waiter had no choice but to accept it and kneel in gratitude.

Seeing that she couldn't escape, Gu Mingshuang had no choice but to obediently follow Qin Mo. However, Qin Mo didn't stop until he reached her carriage.

Compared to the luxurious carriage of the Duke's mansion, hers could be considered quite simple.

Qin Mo calmly boarded the carriage and glanced at Gu Mingshuang, who was hesitating outside.

"Get in the car."
