During the famine, a sack of grain was traded for a little girl. Everyone thought the family had lost their minds.
But ever since they adopted little Qingtian, it was as if their lives had be...
Liang's father still held the hilt of the knife, but his mind was blank.
After seeing Young Master Qin, he finally remembered why he felt that Boss Ye looked familiar.
Isn’t this the tiger-hunting hero who came to the yamen to attend the celebration banquet for catching a tiger before?
Liang's father wanted to slap himself now. Why didn't he think of it just now!
If he knew that this store was opened by the family of the tiger-fighting hero Ye Qingchen, no matter what benefits Madam Lu gave him, he would not dare to come here and cause trouble!
Not to mention that Ye Qingchen was praised even by the emperor, his relationship with the Qin family was also extraordinary!
Didn’t you see that even Young Master Qin personally sent the child back to the Ye family?
Father Liang quickly sheathed the knife and bowed, saying, "Young Master Qin, there may be a misunderstanding here..."
"Since there is a misunderstanding, then clarify it quickly to avoid delaying other people's business."
“Don’t ask, it’s already been figured out.
"There's no problem with the travelogue, and there's no dead rat."
Having said that, Father Liang turned his head to look at Madam Lu and said, “I now suspect that someone is jealous of Youji’s booming business and is deliberately framing Madam You.
"Don't worry, Young Master Qin. I'll have her brought back for a thorough interrogation. I'll definitely give Madam You an explanation."
Mrs. Lu had not yet recovered from the sudden turn of events and was immediately panicked when she heard this.
"You took my money and you still want to arrest me?"
As soon as these words were spoken, the guests who were still watching the excitement were in an uproar.
"No wonder the government detectives came so quickly this time!"
"You may not know this yet, but this Madam Lu has been saying bad things about Madam You."
"That's right. Madam You's daughter was sick and didn't come to the shop for a few days, so she spread the story as if she had done something unforgivable and was arrested."
"Yes, I think I've heard of it, but I don't know who spread it."
“You may not know this, but I dined here on the first day that Youji opened.
“At that time, Madam Lu even pretended to be Madam You and sold her own dumplings to several households that came to buy raw dumplings.
"Don't you think about the status of those families who can have servants come to buy raw dumplings?
"Madam Lu offended someone, so isn't it normal that the store's business plummeted?
"Instead of reflecting on herself, she blames everything on You Niangzi and plays dirty tricks behind her back."
At this time, Yan Fei, who had been sent out by Ye Lao Si to do some work, also ran back. As soon as he entered the door, he shouted, "Madam You, I've found out everything. Madam Lu went to the countryside a few days ago to collect dead rats. She bought a lot and brought them back to frame our family!"
Upon hearing this, Madam Lu's expression finally changed. She had thought she had done it very secretly, but she had not expected that it could be discovered.
In this case, what else is there that everyone doesn’t understand?
No wonder Madam Lu said that the jar was full of dead rats without even looking at it when she opened it. It turned out that she was the mastermind behind it.
Ye Laosi crossed his arms over his chest, looked at the speechless Madam Lu, and said to Liang's father: "This madam just said that she is in collusion with the constables in your yamen because of her wealth and power.
"I think this guy will definitely not be allowed to be taken away by you today.
"Otherwise, if you guys throw me in jail, I might end up hanging myself or committing suicide out of fear of punishment."
At first, Mrs. Lu thought that since she had given money to Liang's father, Liang's father would definitely be able to protect her, so she wanted to follow the detectives to the Shuntian Prefecture government office.
After hearing what Ye Laosi said, he was immediately frightened.
What I did is not a crime worthy of death!
Thinking of this, she rushed directly to Ye Lao Si and said, "I am willing to follow the Yulin Army. I beg the adults to make a wise decision!"
After hearing what Madam Lu said, Liang's father's face became even uglier, but he didn't dare to do anything rash in front of Qin Hexuan.
He could only watch helplessly as the Yulin Army took away Madam Lu, Lu Jincai and his son Liang Yaohui.
"Dad, I don't want to be taken to the Yulin Army's prison—
"Dad—save me—"
Hearing his son's screams for help, Liang's father tightened his grip on the knife handle, but in the end he could only watch his son being taken away by the Yulin Army.
Qin Hexuan said, "Just rest assured, Constable Liang. The Yulin Army is not the type to casually accuse someone."
Liang's father's face turned pale and blue after hearing these words. He waved his hand quietly and left with his people in shame.
Seeing that the matter was resolved, Mrs. Ye quickly greeted the guests who were still gathered in the kitchen and said, "Thank you all for coming to bear witness for me. You were only halfway through your meal, so you're still hungry, right?
"I'll cook dumplings for everyone right now. I've just opened all the pickles, so I'll give them a try for free."
The guests felt a little embarrassed after hearing what she said.
After all, they didn't completely trust You Niangzi at the beginning.
Now people have to cook dumplings for them again and send them pickles, and many people feel a little embarrassed.
"Madam You, don't worry. If anyone ever accuses your family of using dead rat meat again, I will definitely clear the air for you."
"Yes, yes, we will help you spread the word when we go back.
"Tell everyone not to go to Lu Ji for dinner, but to eat at You Ji instead."
"I've said it before, Madam You's dumplings are so delicious, how could they be made from dead rat meat?"
Qingtian came out from behind Qin Hexuan at this time and said to Sister Ye, "Mom, Brother Qin hasn't even had lunch yet because he wanted to send me back!"
"Okay, come in and sit with Young Master Qin for a while. I'll cook dumplings right away."
