Reputation?

When she’s calm, she might care about such things.

But now, her chest is filled with rage, that anger built up until she feels ready to explode.

Truthfully, there’s always been a stubborn streak in her.

Because of this stubbornness, she would refuse to back down against her worthless father and stepmother since the age of ten.

Because of this stubbornness, after being betrayed by her ex-boyfriend, she developed an unhealthy impulse to destroy everything at the mention of marriage.

And now, with the added power of spatial abilities, her stubbornness has become an unbridled madness: fantasizing about seeking justice against Sun Junyan at the academy.

When provoked by Bai Zhi, she chose to confront Bai Zhi directly.

With the increased power, she could no longer tolerate humiliation and frustration. If push comes to shove, she’d turn things upside down.

When she had the contest with Bai Zhi at the academy, she decided that if her magic with food couldn’t move Yang Ye, then she and Bai Zhi would go down together.

She may not have martial arts, but she had knives in her space. With a surprise attack, she was confident she could take Bai Zhi down with her to hell.

Fortunately, Yang Ye was enamoured enough with her cooking that she didn’t have to choose that path.

Today was no different.

Before their severance, she was willing to provide food and clothing.

But now, they had been severed.

Considering what the Sun family had done in the past, she wouldn’t give them a single grain.

Cen Hongping might hold a high position, but so what?

The surrounding villagers might side with the Sun Family, but what could that do?

Are they trying to coerce her with power and so-called reputation?

No.

She chose not to forgive the Sun family, and now no one can force her to bow her head.

If necessary, they can all go down together.

She knew that her temperament was fine in modern times. After all, she was alone there and could make a mess of things if she wished. But here, with Qiao Changshun and Qiao Dami around, her attitude could be considered selfish.

But she can’t just swallow her pride and bow down.

After Qiao Xiaomai said all this, Cen Hongping’s face turned from black to green.

He had never imagined that he, a dignified General, would be publicly rebuked by a peasant girl in this remote mountainous area.

Suppressing his anger, he pointed at the Sun family and said coldly, “You’re right. Since your family is well and living comfortably, your treatment of your biological grandmother is unfilial!”

“According to the ‘Daqi Law’, you should be punished for this, in severe cases even imprisoned.”

Qiao Xiaomai slightly lifted her chin and looked fearlessly at Cen Hongping. Her voice was as cold as ice, “So, are you setting up a court here to judge me?”

“Exactly. The County Magistrate of Huai’an County was too hasty in his judgement. The current emperor governs the country with filial piety, and with the ‘Daqi Law’ in place, the severance judgement is invalid.” Cen Hongwen said arrogantly.

Hmm, how dare she challenge him, ignorant of the heights of the heavens and the depths of the earth!

“If you are talking about the ‘Daqi Law’, then as far as the common people know, this case of the Qiao Family belongs to the County Magistrate. You, as a General, have no right to interfere.” Tong Sanlang suddenly spoke from the side.

The General might be powerful, but he had no right to interfere in local affairs.

Local affairs were governed by the local authorities.

Now that Cen Hongping was using his status to intimidate and oppress Qiao Xiaomai, Tong Sanlang stepped in without hesitation.

He could not stand by and watch the General force Qiao Xiaomai into accepting the foul presence of the Sun family.

However, his words severely violated Cen Hongping’s dignity.

Cen Hongping had just stated that the Magistrate’s judgement was invalid, yet right after, Tong Sanlang claimed that even as a General, Cen Hongping had no right to interfere in local affairs. This provocation was far worse than Qiao Xiaomai’s rebuke.

“Hmm, since the Magistrate’s judgement is unjust, I will summon him now. I want to ask him, on which article of law did he base his judgement of severance!”

With Yang Ye, the Prince present, he dared not outright assert his power to decide minor cases. However, if he clung to the ‘Daqi Law’, things would become easier.

This man and woman dared to challenge his authority in this remote mountainous area; he would make them pay the price.

“General Cen, our purpose today is to congratulate, not cause a scene.” Yang Ye came out of the room with a frown, his handsome face conveying three big words: displeased..
