Chapter 148 Search for a Maid

Qu Zhizhen had been inside the inner room for a while, but he had not come out. The people in the inner room spoke very softly. Those who were outside could only hear faint voices, but they couldn't hear what the people inside were saying.

Both the couple and Qu Qiuyan were on pins and needles now.

Qu Qiuyan crumpled the handkerchief in her hand into a ball. She released the handkerchief a little, and then wrung it again. She was restless.

After a long time, they heard a voice coming out from the inner room. Qu Zhizhen walked out first with anger. He sat behind the desk and glared coldly and sharply at the couple kneeling below.

His glare frightened Li and Liu Shan so much that they lowered their heads and did not dare to look up.

"Guards, take them down. Flog them twenty times as the punishment for falsely claiming the official's daughter as theirs, and then send them to the court," Qu Zhizhen shouted harshly.
