The General's Little Peasant Wife

The old man shook his head without stopping and cried: "Missy, I beg you to redress this old man's injustice. My pitiful granddaughter, she was forced to death by this animal. She was only thirteen years old."

The old man covered his face as he sobbed and said. His granddaughter grew up well. She was filial, and the two of them relied on each other for many years. He would never allow his granddaughter to mend his stall, for fear that she would be spotted by those tyrants. However, it was his fault this time. Because of his weak legs, his granddaughter helped him to mend the stall. Who knew such an incident would occur.

He brought it up to the administrative office, but those people said he had no evidence.

"Old man, please don't cry. Get up first and tell me."

"Missy, this is the jade pendant my pitiful granddaughter pulled out from him. The people in the administrative office did not believe this old man, but I beg of missy to help this old man," The old man took the jade pendant out with his trembling hands.

The man in embroidered robes and Zhu Wei recognized the jade pendant. It was the inherited treasure of the Prime Minister's Residence, and it had actually fallen into the hands of the old man.

"You're spouting nonsense," Zhu Wei ignored the pain and climbed to his feet.

Ning Meng Yao cast a glance at the other party: "Qing Xue, invite the Great General here."

"Yes, Missy," Qing Xue turned around and left. The expressions on Zhu Wei and the others changed when they heard her.

Great General? Could it be this woman is the wife of the Great General?

When the old man heard it, he knew he could finally avenge his granddaughter: "Thank you, Missy, thank you.."

"Old man, please don't be like this," Ning Meng Yao couldn't stand the old man's eagerness. She helplessly reached out to comfort his trembling body.

The old man stood beside Ning Meng Yao. Nobody left because everyone wanted to see how it would be handled. People coming over from some other empire and even taking away a life, this was simply the same as smacking the Xiao Empire's face.

Qing Xue brought Qiao Tian Chang over not long after as the two of them met each other halfway.

Qiao Tian Chang reached out and hugged Ning Meng Yao upon arriving before he gave a good look at her: "What happened?"

"I'm fine, but this old man has some trouble," Ning Meng Yao smiled and shook her head. She pointed at the old man and said in a soft voice.

On their way here, Qing Xue had already told Qiao Tian Chang the situation. Qiao Tian Chang placed his sight on the man with embroidered robes: "Shouldn't the Prince of Ling Empire give us an explanation?"

Nangong Che never imagined he would be recognized. He glared angrily at Zhu Wei. He had been recognized because of this fool. He caused such a huge ruckus and created more trouble for them.

"You can't just listen to the old man's side of the story over," Nangong Che had a calm expression.

Ning Meng Yao let out a sarcastic laughter. She lifted the jade pendant in her hand and said calmly: "This jade pendant is an inherited treasure from the Prime Minister's Residence, there seems to be some blood on it that has already dried. Does Prince Nangong wish to say that this old man stole the jade pendant?"

Nangong Che was in a difficult position. That old man seemed to be a kind old person who knew his boundaries, nobody would believe it if he said he stole it.

"See, even the Prince wouldn't find it believable. To be able to say such words, do you all think that we from the Xiao Empire are easily bullied?"

"If it's so, then we can meet on the battlefield. I wonder what the Prince of Ling Empire thinks?" Qiao Tian Chang coordinated as he said, he had a serious expression, obviously satisfied with that idea.

Nangong Che's eyelids twitched. The situation only became worse because of his words.

"We'll know who's right and who's wrong after investigating. But right now, I would like to invite the prince to accompany us to meet our Emperor. A guest should behave like a guest, everything would be mess if everyone who came was like the Prince of Ling Empire," There was a faint smile at the corner of Ning Meng Yao's mouth as she casually said to Nangong Che.

"That's right. Is the Ling Empire's Prince so extraordinary that he could just allow his subordinates to commit murder?"

"That's right, you must give us an explanation today, otherwise this won't end."

The commoners were furious. The Prince's earlier words was defending the scum, could it be that they could act arrogantly in other empires?

They would not be satisfied if they were not given an explanation over this matter.
