Capítulo 1819: Chapter 1819: So Ugly (2)
However, upon arriving at the tavern, Yang Ruxin was inford that the assistant had already been taken away by the military office.
Yang Ruxin hurriedly headed to the Governor’s Office.
At this mont, in the hall of the Governor’s Office, the assistant was righteously accusing Gu Qingheng, claiming that he had witnessed him harassing a young lady.
“Are you sure you saw it clearly?” Cha Anbo questioned authoritatively, “You should know, if you’re giving false testimony against an official of the Imperial Court, you will be punished or even imprisoned.”
“Sir, how would I dare lie? When he entered the tavern, I took a good look, after all, attractive n like him are rare… But to think, he turned out to be a hypocrite…” The assistant glanced at Gu Qingheng with disdain.
“Did you see clearly what the assaulted lady looked like?” Cha Anbo frowned.
“I didn’t see her face clearly, but she was wearing a pink coat and trousers, with red plum embroidery on the legs. I saw this very clearly…”
Luo Yujiao was indeed wearing a pink top and trousers, both with red plum embroidery.
“So, how did you say he harassed her?” Just then, a voice ca from outside, followed by soone entering.
Gu Qingheng had lowered his gaze, but instantly lifted his eyes, his lips curling up.
Yang Ruxin glared at him and whispered, “I’ll deal with you later,” before stepping forward and saluting Cha Anbo: “Yang Ruxin, a common woman, pays respects to the lord.”
Cha Anbo’s eyes flickered: “Where does this woman co from? She ets without kneeling.”
“I am Gu Qingheng’s wife, my maiden na is Yang Ruxin.” Yang Ruxin calmly replied, “I do not kneel because…” she said, taking out a thumb ring from her pouch, “because I carry a ring bestowed by His Majesty, so…”
“Long live His Majesty, long live!” Before Yang Ruxin finished speaking, Cha Anbo suddenly stood and knelt.
The others hurriedly followed suit, kneeling and shouting long live.
Gu Qingheng was no exception.
Yang Ruxin’s mouth twitched—should she kneel too? Standing alone felt very… awkward.
Fortunately, Cha Anbo bowed his head and quickly rose.
Yang Ruxin breathed a sigh of relief.
Cha Anbo returned to his seat and struck the Court Hamr: “Gu Yangshi, now I ask you, for what reason do you co to court?”
“My lord, my husband has been falsely accused of licentious behavior, how can I not co?” Yang Ruxin suddenly raised her voice, “I have to see what kind of woman he’s alleged to have harassed. If she’s prettier than , I’ll say nothing and prepare a grand carriage to bring her ho as a concubine. If she’s not as pretty, well, then we have sothing to discuss…”
“Wife, I did not behave licentiously.” Gu Qingheng hurriedly defended himself.
Yang Ruxin ignored him completely.
Gu Qingheng pouted pitifully, “Wife…”
Cha Anbo coughed softly.
Gu Qingheng had to keep quiet.
Cha Anbo looked at Yang Ruxin, pointing to the swollen-mouthed Luo Yujiao beside him: “Miss Luo claims Gu Qingheng harassed her and there is a witness, so…”
Yang Ruxin walked over to Luo Yujiao, scrutinized her from head to toe, then gasped: “So ugly? She’s even uglier than the silly aunt from our neighboring village…”
Several people around choked on their own saliva.
