The Empress Kneels in Her Palace to Admit Her Mistakes After Slaying Her Ways in the Female-Oriented

The peddler pointed at Liu Aijiu across the coachman.

The more I admired them before, the more I hate them now!

He said that as long as you believe in love, everyone can have a wife, but I just can't seem to find one!

"He trusted him so much!"

"He is both a guest of honor in the government and a member of the Hongluan Wenyuan Pavilion!"

"But he just won't give it to my wife."

"Tell me, should I hit him or not?"

The coachman finally realized what was happening, turned around to look at Liu Aijiu, and said, "So you're Master Liu! Damn, I read those books too, and I don't have a wife either!"

"Brother!" The coachman stepped aside and said to the traveling vendor, "Hey, could you ask him for me too?"

Where is my wife?

"OK!"

The peddler rolled up his sleeves and walked up to Liu Aijiu.

Use both hands.

He slapped me and asked, "Where's my wife?"

Where is my wife?

Where is my wife?

Liu Aijiu was almost beaten unconscious and couldn't say where the peddler's wife was. The peddler only stopped when he got tired of beating her.

"I'm afraid I'll never be able to get married in my lifetime."

He said something quietly.

His tone was filled with an indescribable sadness, mixed with a hint of despair, as if he had simultaneously given up on the world.

Empathy is the most contagious thing, and the coachman's mood instantly plummeted.

Thinking that he is now in his thirties and still has no wife, the dowry prices in Huai'an City are outrageously high. Women who clearly have nothing can easily ask for a hundred taels of silver.

You also need to ask for love!

What is love?

He just wants to live in this world and continue his family line, why does he have to learn all this about love? Can't he just respect his wife after he marries her?

"Help, help me..."

Liu Aijiu's weak voice came from the ground, lying there like a dead dog.

This startled the coachman, making him realize Liu Aijiu's identity. He quickly said to the traveling vendor beside him, "Brother, I forgot to tell you, I have some suspicions that this Liu Aijiu is a fugitive..."

He then explained in detail how Liu Aijiu had come to him before dawn to rent a carriage, and clarified his concerns.

This actually excited the peddlers.

"If he really is a fugitive, and we hand him over to the authorities, won't they reward us?"

"Putting everything else aside, just introduce me to a wife."

The coachman nodded emphatically: "This has potential!"

"Take a chance, otherwise dealing with your left and right hands for the rest of your life is not a good thing."

"OK!"

The two quickly reached an agreement.

Liu Aijiu, who was standing to the side, was dumbfounded.

What the hell?

I've traveled eighty li, and the bumpy ride in the carriage has nearly broken my bones. I was just one step away from Yuancheng, and now...

Are you going to send me back?

Protest vigorously!

Protest denied!

He got slapped again.

Behave yourself!

He was dragged onto the carriage and driven back along the same route, creaking and groaning, while the traveling vendor rode alongside to prevent him from escaping.

Traveling at this pace, in less than half an hour, they felt the ground tremble slightly. Looking up again, they saw a cavalry force of over a thousand men galloping towards them.

The military's imposing presence terrified the traveling vendors, turning them pale with fright.

Almost instinctively, he was about to kneel down to the side.

The coachman stopped him.

"It seems to be one of the Duke's men. The Duke's men wouldn't kill civilians so easily."

Before they could finish their persuasion, the person had already arrived. Only then did the coachman and the traveling vendor realize that the person riding the first horse was actually a woman.

She wore a tight-fitting outfit with a cinched waist, a rusted lotus flower on her chest, and a black iron token hanging from her waist, engraved with the words "Suppress Demons".

The coachman exclaimed in surprise.

"It's the Demon Suppression Division!"

"A Demon Suppression Officer, with a love-severing dagger at his waist and wearing a demon-suppressing robe!"

The coachman, having lived in the city for a long time, naturally knew about the situation of the Demon Suppression Division after Ren Tianye moved into Huai'an City, and also knew about the folk legends about the Demon Suppression Division.

The peddler, however, was unaware of the situation and was simply taken aback.

Just as he was about to ask something, the coachman shouted, "Sir, sir, we need to report a crime! We need to report a crime!"

Actually, he didn't need to shout. Su Jin had already steered straight over when she saw the two of them. She stopped her horse and dismounted nimbly, standing steadily in front of them.

"Sir, we've apprehended someone we suspect is a wanted criminal. He's Liu Aijiu from the Liu family in Huai'an City..."

Su Jin's face immediately lit up with joy.

She personally led a light cavalry, galloping for several hours, and finally, her efforts paid off, and she captured Liu Aijiu, the important witness!

They quickly went to check, and the soldiers of Huai'an City verified his identity, finally letting out a sigh of relief.

Now, I can finally make amends.

However, upon seeing the traveling vendor and the coachman, Su Jin still habitually harbored suspicions. She then approached the two with a gentle smile and asked them what was going on and why Liu Aijiu was here.

The two dared not be careless and explained the whole story in detail. The peddler even questioned Liu Aijiu about his wife, and he told them everything.

Su Jin, naturally discerning, nodded and said, "You have performed a great service. After returning to the city, find my Demon Suppression Division to claim your reward."

The two were about to kneel down in gratitude when Su Jin stopped them, glanced at the coachman, then at the traveling vendor, and said, "Huai'an City is not what it used to be."

"If you want to go back, then go back."

"And you don't have to be out in the wind and sun."

As she spoke, Su Jin smiled.

Her naturally charming face couldn't hide the sincerity in her eyes at all: "Huai'an City has changed, and the world will change too. Soon, you will find the girl you love."

"The Duke will not allow those who are diligent and hardworking to fail to even find a wife."

As soon as Su Jin finished speaking, she gracefully mounted her horse, spurred it on with her legs, and the steed neighed and galloped back.

Under the sunlight, it was shrouded in a hazy mist.

Even... tall!

The vendor stared intently, suddenly overwhelmed with emotion, and murmured, "She...she seems like an immortal."

"Yes!" the coachman exclaimed excitedly, "Did you hear that? The officials of the Demon Suppression Division all said that the Duke won't allow us to go without wives, we..."

"I'm going to have a home!"

The peddler burst into excited laughter.

"We're going to have a home now."

But as they laughed, tears began to stream down their faces without their realizing it.

……

In Huai'an City, inside the prison.

Rows of instruments of torture were laid out in front of them.

Liu Aijiu, whose hands were suspended by iron rings, had already broken down countless times.

But the answer was exactly the same every time.

"That play was directed by my employer. I don't know why. I also objected because the play lacked conflict and couldn't adequately demonstrate the Duke's disrespect for love."

"But the employer insisted that I line up, and I had no choice."

"I'm telling the truth!"

"Believe me, please believe me!"

Xie Changfeng emerged from the cell and approached Ren Tianye, saying, "Lord Duke, what Liu Aijiu said should be true. No one would give the same answer multiple times under such circumstances."

Ren Tianye sat outside the prison cell, not answering, his brows slightly furrowed.

He also felt that what Liu Aijiu said was true.

But this only made him more and more confused.

"Lord Duke, it seems we still need to ask his employer."

"Based on the intelligence we have gathered and Liu Aijiu's confession, we can determine that Liu Aijiu is just a branch manager. In fact, he has a business in Yunjing called Xiangsi Pavilion."

"What we do is all about buying and selling love."

"We have a very close connection with the Tongxin Alliance."

"I suspect that this 'Lovesickness Pavilion' is a transformation and embodiment of the 'Unity Alliance'."

Ren Tianye also had this suspicion.

That directly points to Liu Ruyan, the Grand Palace Master of the Tongxin Alliance.

Can……

It's still the same problem.

How did Liu Ruyan know about the private matters between him and his ex-girlfriend in his past life?

Is Liu Ruyan his ex-girlfriend?

Ren Tianye shook his head.

Not too possible!

As for why it was unlikely, Ren Tianye couldn't explain it, he just felt that it wasn't true!
