Chapter 1846 Chen Bing's son, Chen He

only……

"Is it only this young master of the Chen family who returned? Where are the rest of the Chen family?"

As soon as Shu Yu asked the question, the old lady perked up her ears to listen.

Shu Yu had no doubt that if the old lady heard that Chen Bing was there, she would definitely pounce on him and tear him apart.

However, the woman shook her head, "The rest of the Chen family are still in the prefectural city. They don't know what treasures they've found there, they're all reluctant to come back, neglecting their shops. And now, trouble has struck."

"What happened?"

The woman said, "The young master of the Chen family came back to buy goods. He spent the whole afternoon checking the accounts and inventory. Just now, he suddenly said that the accounts didn't match and that the shop assistant had stolen some things from the shop. He's making a scene and demanding that the shop assistant pay for it. The shop assistant is refusing to admit it, which is why there's such a commotion."

Seeing the Chen family in trouble, the old lady became very interested and hurriedly asked, "Since no one is admitting it, it's not good to just keep arguing like this. Why don't you report it to the authorities?"

The woman lowered her voice, "Report to the authorities? Which ordinary citizen would dare to report to the authorities? Our magistrate of Chenggu County is new, and no one knows what kind of temperament he has. We've heard that the magistrate is overwhelmed with work every day because of the previous chaos. To bother him with such a trivial matter would be like asking for trouble."

The old lady nodded in agreement, "That's true."

Since she wasn't going to report it to the authorities, she happily watched the spectacle, occasionally whispering to Shu Yu, "Tell me, whose fault is this? I think, like father, like son. Chen Bing's son is definitely not a good person, he must have wronged that guy."

Shu Yu was both amused and exasperated. "Let me take another look."

The old lady watched them argue, but the argument only involved a few sentences. Everyone thought they were right, and no one was willing to admit they were wrong.

As she watched, the old lady began to feel sleepy.

Not only her, but the onlookers around her also became impatient. Someone suggested, "If you don't dare to report to the authorities, why don't you go to the Meng Family Escort Agency and ask to see the County Princess of Wen'an? The County Princess is a kind-hearted person and may be able to help you distinguish right from wrong."

Shu Yu and the others suddenly perked up and all looked at the person who had spoken.

Shu Yu choked on her own saliva. She? Kind-hearted?

Please don't wrong her, okay? She's clearly playing the role of a cold and aloof person.

The old lady puffed out her chest and said, "Fine, let their Ayu have a good look and see what kind of person Chen Bing's son really is."

However, Chen He and his companion both refused, saying, "No need, Princess Wen'an doesn't have time."

“That’s right, we wouldn’t dare trouble Princess Wen’an with such a trivial matter.”

Shu Yu found it amusing and said to the old lady, "It seems that both of them have something going on; they look guilty."

The others also sensed something was wrong and looked at them suspiciously. "So what do you guys suggest we do? We've been arguing for so long, if we keep going, it'll get dark soon."

"Since you think it's a small matter and don't want to go to the government office or bother the county magistrate, why not find the constables patrolling the city?" Shu Yu stepped forward and said with a smile, "I just saw constables patrolling the next street. Shall I go and call them over?"

Chen He and the other man's expressions changed. They said with a somber look, "No need. This is our own business. We'll handle it behind closed doors. You can all leave now."
