I insist

Chapter 209: Asking Someone for a Favor

Suddenly, the door to the room was pounded on violently, which startled Song Miqiu, who was inside, so much that she jumped up.

"Mother! Something terrible has happened to you!"

Upon hearing the familiar voice, Song Miqiu realized it was Tian Yumei. She breathed a sigh of relief, but then quickly strode to the door and removed the wooden stake.

Looking at the anxious person in front of her, Song Miqiu asked in confusion, "What happened? Why are you so flustered?"

Tian Yumei saw Song Miqiu as if she had seen a savior. She grabbed the other's hand and cried out with a mournful face, "Something happened to Tian Lei!"

Upon hearing this, Song Miqiu was startled and quickly asked, "What exactly happened?"

Tian Yumei sniffed and told Song Miqiu everything she knew.

"My business with Tianlei is so good that others are jealous and want to steal our business, trying to lure customers into their shops! Tianlei sees that we finally have a business that can make a living, how could he possibly give it up?"

"I already told Tianlei to leave it alone; there were only a few guests, and he was sure our family would come again next time! But Tianlei was stubborn and wouldn't let it go, so he got arrested by them!"

Hearing this, Song Miqiu was furious. She never expected the other party to be so despicable!

"Have you reported this matter to the Shuntian Prefecture?!" Song Miqiu asked anxiously.

Tian Yumei, her face contorted with grief, shook her head violently. "I panicked so much when Tian Lei got into trouble that I came straight to my mother. I never even thought of reporting it to the Shuntian Prefecture!"

"Let's go! Let's go to Shuntian Prefecture to report this!" Knowing that further discussion was pointless, Song Miqiu led her people directly to Shuntian Prefecture. The two of them wanted to go in, but were stopped by the guards at the gate.

"What are you two doing in Shuntian Prefecture? This is not a place you can just come to!!"

Tian Yumei and Song Miqiu exchanged a glance, and the latter immediately stepped forward and told her everything that was on her mind, "Let us go in and see the magistrate! We two women really have a grievance to report to the magistrate!"

Although annoyed by their entanglement, the two guards exchanged a glance and finally let Tian Yumei and Song Miqiu in. The two of them went directly to see the prefect.

When Song Miqiu saw the prefect, she knelt down first. Her face was very serious. She placed her hands on the ground and loudly told him about her grievances.

They thought they could use this opportunity to bring Qiu Tianlei back from their hands and also imprison the thugs in the Shuntian Prefecture jail.

When the other party heard the thug's name, they immediately gave them a hard time!

“There must be some misunderstanding here. I believe he is not that kind of person. Since he has arrested you, it must be that your son has some problem with himself.” The prefect did not want to dwell on this matter any further.

He gave the order to hastily conclude the case regarding the grievances reported by Song Miqiu and Tian Yumei.

Song Miqiu stared coldly at the prefect, her face extremely grim. Tian Yumei slowly helped her up, but she was unwilling to let the matter end like this, and asked again, "Sir, do you always end your trials so hastily?!"

These words offended the prefect, who glared at him angrily and sneered, "Whose office is this, mine or yours? Do I need to explain my thoughts to you in detail before making a decision?"

Song Miqiu placed her hand on Tian Yumei's hand. She wanted to say something, but the prefect directly summoned the guards, pointed at the two of them, and made a move to drive them out!

"Get them both out of here! Don't spoil my fun!"

Two guards stood in front of Song Miqiu and Tian Yumei and pushed them directly, almost causing Tian Yumei to lose her footing and fall to the ground.

Fortunately, Song Miqiu reacted quickly and caught her, preventing Tian Yumei from falling to the ground.

Looking at the people in front of her, Song Miqiu took a deep breath and was half-pushed and half-driven out of Shuntian Prefecture.

The door slammed shut in front of her, and Song Miqiu closed her eyes in fright, her anger raging and unsure how to vent it.

"Mother, what should we do now!" Tian Yumei's face was full of despair; she no longer knew how to resolve this matter.

She didn't want things to be handled so chaotically.

"You go back first! I'll go find someone to take care of things!" Song Miqiu reassured him in a deep voice.

Tian Yumei knew she couldn't be of much help, but after hearing what Song Miqiu said, she felt a little more at ease. She nodded repeatedly and agreed to Song Miqiu's words.

After Tian Yumei left, Song Miqiu frowned and pretended to go find someone to settle accounts. She planned to go to the teahouse again to find Qingzhi and ask him to help her deal with these matters.

Song Miqiu turned around and glared coldly at Shuntian Prefecture, but fearing that something might happen to Qiu Tianlei, she didn't want to linger there any longer. She turned around, lifted her skirt, and strode towards Qingzhi's teahouse.

As she approached the teahouse, a voice suddenly called out to Song Miqiu. She turned around and saw Yan Yufan, who looked slightly surprised. "What are you doing here?"

"I was about to ask you what you're doing here," Yan Yufan said with a smile. He looked at Song Miqiu's hurried expression and asked with some confusion, "What's wrong?"

Song Miqiu paused, thinking that the person in front of her might be able to help in some way. She sighed and whispered the whole story to the person in front of her.

That's the whole story. I don't know what to do now.

Yan Yufan remained silent for a moment. Seeing that Song Miqiu was very agitated, he spoke up to comfort her, "It's alright, I'll handle this for you."

"Really?" Song Miqiu looked at the other person in surprise.

Yan Yufan smiled and nodded. He slightly raised his folding fan and said with a smile, "He's just a prefect. Although he's just a young master and not an official, he can still persuade the prefect."

"You should go sit in a teahouse near Shuntian Prefecture first. I expect news of Shuntian Prefecture sending troops out will come out soon."

Song Miqiu trusted Yan Yufan completely. Since he had already said so, she didn't say anything more and turned to leave.

She sat in a spot with a great view of Shuntian Prefecture. Song Miqiu asked for a bowl of sweet soup, picked it up, and took a big gulp, which helped to vent her anger.

Not long after, Song Miqiu saw that Shuntian Prefecture had sent out a bunch of constables. She was surprised and her eyes lit up instantly. She didn't expect that Yan Yufan's few words would actually make Shuntian Prefecture mobilize its people.

She couldn't help but sigh that the world really does depend on power and influence.

She was just an imperial physician, but in front of the prefect, she was nothing more than an ordinary citizen. That scoundrel must have some connection with Shuntian Prefecture.

This makes it seem ridiculous to them that the people are speaking out.

She sighed heavily, not wanting to say much, and waited for Qiu Tianlei and the thug to be brought back.

Not long after, Song Miqiu heard a noise. She quickly got up and handed the money for the sweet soup to the stall owner.
