"You're talking nonsense!" Li Xiang panicked.

“I’m not making this up. If you don’t believe me, you can summon the servants of the Li family and ask them.”

Now that things have come to this, it's all clear, and there's no need to ask any further questions.

"Now that things have come to this, Lord Cao, shall we summon the Li family and ask them a question?"

Prefect Cao quickly responded, "Yes, yes, I'm here. Miss Song, regarding this matter, it's still..."

Song Ning laughed and quickly helped Prefect Cao up: "Oh dear, why are you kneeling, Prefect? ​​Get up quickly."

You are the head of Huzhou, the people's guardian, and I dare not accept such an honor.

Getting up from the ground, Prefect Cao wiped the sweat from his brow: "Miss Song, I..."

"Lord Cao, I'm entrusting today's matter to you. I believe you are a good official, and the Li family's affairs are definitely not your doing. You must act impartially."

Prefect Cao understood and quickly nodded, "Yes, yes, young lady, rest assured, I will handle this matter impartially."

"Alright, I still have business to do in this restaurant. Lord Cao, please take the person away."

"Yes, I will leave now."

After saying that, he stepped forward, grabbed Li Xiang by the collar, and dragged him out.

As soon as the person left, the shop staff, being very perceptive, immediately went to clean up the things on the floor.

Song Ning looked at the customers in the store and said in a very generous manner, "I am really sorry for spoiling everyone's mood today. Here's what we'll do: everyone who was here just now will get a 50% discount, and then another 50% discount. I hope you will all come back to patronize us more often in the future."

Upon hearing this, the people present cheered, but those in the restaurant were trembling with fear.

Their boss... is he stupid?

If you offer half price and then another half price, how are you going to make any money?

After the farce ended, everyone had something to talk about again.

Now, everyone stopped talking about Song Ning and started discussing what had just happened between Li Ji and the Li family.

This is really big news!

Zhao Qiao'er and several other girls walked up to Song Ning, their eyes red.

"Thank you, boss."

For so many years, they have lived in Li Ji's shadow. Other girls might have a chance to redeem themselves if they saved up money, but those of them who were sent there by Li Ji could not leave Qingyuefang even if they died.

"I told you I would make you get your revenge."

The Li family wouldn't let this go so easily, but Song Ning didn't expect them to come on the very first day her restaurant opened.

Although it affected her business, it was also a good opportunity. She had previously promised to avenge these girls, and today was the perfect chance to settle things.

What's the use of just killing Li Ji? Naturally, the accomplices should also be dealt with.

Let everyone in Huzhou hear just how twisted the Li family really are.

Li Ji himself was incapable, so in addition to tormenting the girls, he also had his servants or family members defile them while he watched.

What kind of person could endure such an insult? Even if the entire Li family were to be buried alive with them, it wouldn't be enough.

"From now on, we'll have good days ahead. No one will dare to bully you anymore. Work hard, it's all in the past."

After the others left, Song Ning called Xiao Cui over and asked her to bring the boy who had come out to testify earlier.

The boy was about to kneel down when he arrived, but Song Ning quickly stopped him.

"Don't kneel. I've called you here because I have something to tell you."

"Please speak, young lady."

"You testified for me today, and you and your friend are likely to face retaliation from the Li family. You've done me a great favor today. If you're willing, you can bring your friend to work for me."

As long as we can get through these days, the Li family and that Prefect Cao won't last long.

The young man immediately kowtowed: "I am willing, I am willing, thank you, young lady. My brother has long wanted to leave the Li family. The Li family beats and scolds the workers and forces them to do such heartless things. They have wanted to leave for a long time, but once they leave, no one else dares to take them, so they can only endure it like this."

"Then tell them today that they are welcome to come anytime they wish."

"Thank you, young lady. I'll go talk to him right away." With that, she ran out without even finishing her meal.

Song Ning sighed softly, finally able to rest for a while in the backyard.

A moment later, Xiao Cui brought in the old man from before.

The old man nervously led his granddaughter in, and even knelt down as he approached.

Xiao Cui quickly helped the man up, and said with a smile, "Please don't kneel, sir. The master doesn't like that."

"Uncle, please sit down. Xiao Cui, get some snacks for the child."

Xiao Cui sat down at another table with her child in her hand. Song Ning looked at the old man and asked, "Uncle, the reason I called you here today is to ask how much the things in your basket cost."

The old man was taken aback and looked at the grass in the basket on his back. Could this stuff be sold?

He smiled sheepishly and said, "You're too kind, young lady. I cut these grasses to feed my chickens and pigs. If you want them, you can have them."

“Uncle, I need this stuff, so I can’t just take it for free. You said there’s a lot of it on the mountain in the village, so I’d like to buy it from you. I’ll take as much as you have.”

What? The old man was confused. Was this girl out of her mind because of what happened earlier?

These grasses are worthless in the village, they're everywhere, how can they be sold for money?

"Uncle, to be honest, I want the seeds from these grasses. They're very useful to me. If you sell the grasses directly, it'll be three coins a pound. If you sell the seeds, it'll be six coins a pound. You can go back and ask the people in the village. If they're willing, we can do it together."

Farmers are those who grow crops; their entire year's income comes from this. If the harvest is good, they earn a lot; if the harvest is bad, they're lucky if they can even eat their fill.
