Quick Transmigration: Drama Queen's Daily Life Chapter 1467 - 1456: Lady Who Doesn’t Seek Status

Because there were many people, Ye Qiu walked neither too fast nor too slow, gaining some insights along the way. What she hadn’t noticed was that she had been targeted by someone the moment she stepped out of the Marquis Mansion.

A few ruffians exchanged glances and quickly approached as instructed by their employer. Before Ye Qiu’s two maids could react, they had already been pushed aside.

"You woman, dressing up like an unmarried girl and not even considering your husband?" A fierce man charged over, intending to slap Ye Qiu, but Ye Qiu quickly dodged when she sensed the situation was wrong.

The man perhaps didn’t expect such a quick reaction from her, an unmarried girl, and paused for a moment when his slap missed.

"Did you mistake me for someone else? I don’t know you." Ye Qiu said very coldly.

But the man became even more fierce: "You dare pretend not to know me? Since you married into my family, have I ever not yielded to you? These clothes and jewelry on you were earned from odd jobs I did for months. Tell me, are you planning to secretly meet that Acid Scholar again?"

After the man spoke, a middle-aged woman of forty or fifty years old started to cry and shout, "Everyone, come and judge! My daughter-in-law was bought with a thirty-tael betrothal gift from our family. She was rumored to have a bad reputation and love to flirt with others, but my foolish son liked her. Even without a dowry, we accepted it. After marrying into our family, she became even more unruly, forcing my son to buy her pretty clothes and jewelry, and now she takes our hard-earned money to secretly meet her old sweetheart. Is this marrying a wife or marrying a disgrace!"

The old woman cried passionately, and immediately, a crowd gathered around, pointing fingers at Ye Qiu, saying extremely unkind things.

Ye Qiu’s face turned even colder, convinced that these people had come for her. She asserted, "I’ve told you, you have mistaken me for someone else. I don’t know you. If you continue to harass me, I will report this to the government."

"Mistaken? How could I not recognize my bride whom I’ve been with in the bridal chamber?" The man’s face alternated between red and black, looking furious and angry, "No matter what you say today, you must come back with me."

He then cupped his hands towards the surrounding crowd: "My fellow townsmen, I apologize. My wife is truly out of line, so I must forcibly take her back. Please forgive me."

"Brother, wives must be taught properly. Such unruly ones should be tied up and beaten until they admit their mistakes."

"Truly shameless, disgracing all women."

"Isn’t it so? This seemingly beautiful person is actually a fox."

"It’s precisely because she’s pretty that she’s restless!"

"In my opinion, such women should be divorced, and the betrothal gift should be reclaimed."

Hearing the insults directed at her, Ye Qiu showed no expression, because she knew she was being plotted against. This group of people intended to openly take her away!

"Where is the Patrol Team? I want to report them. I don’t know these people at all; they’re human traffickers." Ye Qiu shouted, "Xiaojuan, Xiao Cui, where are you?"

"Quickly cover her mouth. That scholar’s family is wealthy, and they might turn the tables." The man urgently instructed his two brothers.

Ye Qiu was somewhat skilled, but she was surrounded by people who intentionally prevented her from leaving. Moreover, the usual Patrol Team seen on the streets was nowhere in sight. Ye Qiu’s heart sank.

"Isn’t that Lady Ye? What’s happening? Why are several men laying hands on her?" a young master from Jiang Family wondered aloud.

Upon hearing this, Jian Yunchi’s eyes darkened, and seeing the commotion near Ye Qiu, he hurriedly brought people over.

Ye Qiu dodged the punches and kicks from these individuals, seeming to have a tendency to break through the siege. That old woman began crying again: "Everyone, please help our family by stopping this wicked girl! We nearly went bankrupt marrying her in, and isn’t she pushing our whole family to ruin?"

Out of righteous indignation, someone immediately stepped forward to act heroically. Now, with the crowd’s sheer number, pushing and pulling Ye Qiu truly made her look a bit disheveled. Seeing she was about to be captured, Jian Yunchi suddenly arrived with his men.

"Who dares lay hands on the Marchioness?" He shouted loudly, glaring fiercely at the old woman and the others.

The old woman was somewhat afraid, but remembering the instructions from the person behind the scenes, she loudly retorted: "Marchioness? You’re just that Acid Scholar, acting all high and mighty. I, Old Lady Li, will risk my life today to take this harlot back! Heaven, open your eyes and see, is there any justice left with such bold adulterers?"

"Acid Scholar? I am a glorious Advanced Scholar of Xuanhe Year, Jian Yunchi from Jiang Residence. You call me an adulterer? Say the Marchioness is a harlot? Men, arrest all these human traffickers!" Jian Yunchi was furious, just the thought of Ye Qiu nearly falling into these people’s hands made him want to butcher them.

"Is there no justice? Fellow townsmen, you must support us! Are we poor folks destined to be bullied?"

The old woman’s howl once again aroused the crowd’s sympathy, instantly prompting them to criticize Jian Yunchi: "Do you have no regard for the law, daring to abduct someone else’s wife on the street?"

"The law? Which law did I break? They’re the human traffickers. If, later, the government investigates the truth, those aiding her in capturing people will also be imprisoned. Just because she cries doesn’t mean she’s right!"

"Mr. Lv Zhu?" One of the observing scholars recognized him and called out, "It’s really Mr. Lv Zhu, what’s going on here? How come you are..."

The scholar wanted to say ’adulterer,’ but how could a noble Mr. Lv Zhu be involved in such matters?

"You know me? Great, this person says I’m just an Acid Scholar and claims that Mr. Yang Liu is their daughter-in-law, saying I’ve abducted Mr. Yang Liu. Nobody believes my words; you explain it."

"How’s that possible? Everyone knows Mr. Yang Liu hasn’t married yet!" The scholar forced a smile, then glared at the old woman and her accomplices, "Who are you people? What exactly are you doing?"

The old woman now panicked, her eyes flickering as she said: "You’re slandering us, who knows if you’re all in cahoots? Today, we poor folks can’t fight you, see you in the government another day."

With that, they attempted to flee. Jian Yunchi responded: "No need for another day, you can go to the government with me now!"

The crowd was in uproar, only then realizing that the handsome man and beautiful woman before them were none other than the esteemed Mr. Lv Zhu and Mr. Yang Liu. Just moments ago, they had been slandering the two for having an illicit affair and nearly helped the human traffickers abduct Mr. Yang Liu. This is the same Mr. Yang Liu who authored "Immortal Path"! They almost caused harm to her?
