"Okay, I won't let you down this time, nor will I let Lanying down." Wu Ronggui agreed very happily. "I have something else to do, so I'll be leaving first."

Lan Ying accompanied Wu Ronggui all the way to the gate. When she turned around and walked back, the sweet smile on her face immediately disappeared.

After returning to Gong Hongqiao's room, Lan Ying picked up a pair of soft-headed hammers and gently tapped her legs. "Madam, why give him another chance? If he succeeds, do you really intend to marry me to him?"

"Silly girl, anyone else can do it, but you can't. I can't live without you now." Gong Hongqiao was comforted by her beating. She squinted her eyes and leaned against the soft pillow and said, "What are you afraid of? After he finishes the job, I will arrange for someone to report him to the head of the police. Even if he doesn't die, he will be skinned alive. How can he have the mind to marry you then? He can't afford it!"

Lan Yingcai smiled again when she heard that Gong Hongqiao had considered every aspect for her.

The master and servant have actually used this trick more than once.

It's just that Wu Ronggui's feelings are deeper and more persistent than anyone else, so Lan Ying doesn't know whether to hope for his success or pray for his failure.

And it has been almost a year, and Wu Ronggui has always been very good to her. If this continues, Lan Ying will almost be moved.

The master and servant quickly changed the subject, not realizing that they didn't need to report it at all. At this moment, in the small alley near Geng's house, Hu Yuanren had already grabbed Wu Ronggui's arm and pressed him against the courtyard wall.

"I never realized you were so capable!

"I don't even know when I hooked up with Gong Hongqiao."

When Wu Ronggui heard Hu Yuanren's voice, he tried to argue, "Captain, I misunderstood you, truly misunderstood you.

"I just like Lanying, the maidservant beside Madam Geng. She might be busy all night, so I took the time to come over and see her and tell her so that she won't worry."

"Oh, I didn't realize you were such a lovesick kid?" Hu Yuanren sneered, then spat in Wu Ronggui's face. "You're making up stories, and you're making them up here, right? Is there a single word of truth in your mouth?"

"Captain, I really didn't do anything..." Although Wu Ronggui knew in his heart that his actions should have been exposed, he still lied with a glimmer of hope.

The captain of the police force was too lazy to talk to him, so he twisted his arm and walked back.

"If you have anything to say, let's go back to the government office and tell them. If I can't pry open your mouth, then all these years of my life have been in vain!"

…

On the other side, the Ye family came out of the county government office. The children may not have understood what was going on, but the adults were all very scared.

If it wasn't for the problem with the seasoning, if Mrs. Ye had really used those firewoods, the consequences would have been unimaginable.

"Madam You, have you offended anyone in the capital?" Lin Yumei asked, puzzled. "It seems they have quite a grudge against you! Otherwise, ordinary people wouldn't even be able to find a way to do this, let alone tamper with it."

"I'm not the kind of person who would offend anyone." Mrs. Ye had already gone through in her mind all the people she had met since she came here.

Hearing Lin Yumei's question again, he could only shake his head in confusion and said, "If you must say there is a conflict, then it was only with the owner and chef of the Banquet Hall.

“But it was handled very well at the time.

"How could a restaurant as big as Yanbinlou be so persistent with me just because of a few dishes?"

Upon hearing this, Boss Ye said, "It's hard to say. Everyone has different ideas. Maybe the owner and chef of this banquet hall are narrow-minded people!

"Let's not talk about anything else. During the competition this morning, Zhang Chuanlu ignored what his men were doing and kept his eyes glued to you."

Boss Ye said this with a bit of sourness, and everyone in the family laughed when they heard it.

But if you think about it carefully, apart from these two people, Mrs. Ye can't find any other enemies.

The group had dinner outside before returning to Wang's house.

As soon as I pushed open the door, I saw Wang Pozi coming out of the house in slippers and clothes. I asked, "How is it? Did you advance?"

Wang Ge said, “Mom, something unexpected happened today, so the cooking competition has been moved to tomorrow afternoon.

"Oh, so you haven't eaten yet? Shall I go make you some noodles?"

"Aunt Wang, don't bother. We just came back after dinner. Leave the food here for now and eat it slowly when we get back!"

They had just been talking for a while when they heard Meng Yu's voice outside asking, "Is this Wang Ge's house?"

Boss Ye hurried out to answer the door and soon brought Boss Cen in.

"Grandfather, why are you here so late at night?" Seeing that it was Mr. Cen, Mrs. Ye hurried to greet him.

"I'm really sorry for what happened at the competition today. It's all my fault for being careless and not having someone check everything carefully.

"Fortunately, I found you in time. Otherwise, if you were injured, I don't know how I would explain it to your father."

Mrs. Ye originally thought that what Mr. Cen did was a little exaggerated, after all, the two of them had never been together before.

But when she heard these words, she suddenly understood.

The reason why Mr. Cen treated her well was not for her own sake, but to make up for the regret and debt he felt towards her father.

"It's really okay. Even if it hadn't been discovered, I've lived in the countryside for so many years, I would have definitely noticed something was wrong when I lit the fire.
