Today, the Ning family came to cause trouble for Song Qianning, and they did not restrain themselves or hide it, so many people noticed it.

In addition, the commotion she had just caused in the restaurant with her men had already attracted many people, but because of Ning's status, no one dared to step forward to help Song Qianning.

Song Qianning's crying attracted many passers-by to stop and watch.

Before long, the entire restaurant was surrounded by the people, who were all looking inside and pointing at the ruined restaurant and the Ning family.

The pitiful and miserable Song Qianning formed a sharp contrast with the arrogant Ning family. The people sympathized with Song Qianning, and the voices of whispers among them became more and more.

Especially when they heard the "He Ku" sound behind her, everyone couldn't help but look towards Ning.

The silk and satin on Ning's body was obviously not of ordinary fabric. Her hair was covered with pearls, jade, gold and silver hairpins, so many that they could blind one's eyes. Even the bracelets on her hands were made of gold.

The people who couldn't even get enough to eat because of high taxes felt uncomfortable when they saw what she was wearing.

On weekdays, they couldn't even afford to eat wild vegetables, but Ning was dressed in gold and silver, and she wished that all her clothes could be made of gold.

However, because Ning was the wife of the prefect, even if the people felt unhappy, they only dared to discuss it in a low voice with those around them.

At this moment, someone in the crowd suddenly shouted, "Why do we ordinary people suffer from taxes and can't even get enough to eat, while she can wear gold and silver? Why do the people suffer while the officials enjoy the comforts?"

"Could it be that just because she's the wife of the prefect, she's superior to us ordinary people?"

The people, who were already unhappy, became even more dissatisfied once they were guided.

Many people barely survive by relying on the magical seeds given by Song Qianning. Most of the clothes they wear are old and many of them are patched.

Why do they wear old clothes while Ning wears good ones? Why do they have to eat their fill while Ning can enjoy the best food?

Perhaps even the pearl hairpins and silk dress she wore had traces of the taxes they paid.

Everyone looked at Ning's body covered in pearls, jade and silk, and compared it with themselves, their eyes turned red.

With someone taking the lead, the others also rushed forward, complaining about Ning.

"You officials are human beings, and so are we ordinary people. Why are ordinary people suffering while you are enjoying yourself?"

"My son and I have to save money on food, so why are you officials able to enjoy the good life and destroy restaurants at will?"

Just the clothes that Ning wore and the pearls, jade, gold and silver hairpins she wore could support the common people's expenses for several years if they were sold.

Even the servants around Ning were wearing better clothes than the common people wore during the New Year.

What's worse, some people even spat at Ning and threw stones at her in anger.

"Officials are all extremely evil, not a single one of them is good."

"Could it be that because you are the wife of the prefect, you are nobler than us ordinary people?"

The people's shouts continued to surge towards the Ning family, and in their anger they forgot the natural fear caused by the difference in their status.

She had never expected that the group of people whom she looked down upon would dare to attack her. The besieged Ning was stunned and forgot to react for a moment.

It was not until she was hit on the head by a stone thrown by a child that Ning covered her head and came to her senses with a cry.

Ning, who felt she was noble, was immediately furious when she saw herself being beaten by a group of untouchables who looked down on her.

With a ferocious expression, Ning rolled up her sleeves and slapped the child who had thrown the stone at her, cursing, "You bunch of lowlifes, how dare you lay hands on me? Today I will beat you to death!"

Seeing Ning's actions, Song Qianning sneered in her heart and cried even louder.

"It's not enough for the wife of an official to take advantage of the people and enjoy her life. Now she wants to beat them to death. Is there any justice in the world?"

As Song Qianning cried, the people who already blamed the Ning family became even more angry.

After seeing the child who was frightened by her and crying, the people rebelled more fiercely, especially those who were deeply persecuted by taxes.

In a blink of an eye, Ning was beaten several times.

Coming back to her senses from her anger, Ning looked at the large group of people in front of her and knew that she would not be able to gain any advantage today.

In addition, the men he brought with him were no match for the common people, so no matter how angry Ning was, he didn't dare to stay any longer.

He quickly called the servants and fled under their escort.

Even after running a long way, I could still hear the angry curses of the people behind me.

Fearing that the common people would catch up without caring about anything, Ning and her servants ran faster and faster, almost losing their shoes.

…

After listening to Chang Qing's report, Qin Ye couldn't help laughing out loud. There was a rare joy in his voice and curiosity flashed in his eyes.

The more he got to know Song Qianning, the more surprises she brought him.

Every time, Qin Ye couldn't help but look forward to what kind of surprises the other party could bring him.

When Chang Qing, who was reporting next to him, heard Qin Ye's laughter for the first time, he almost slipped and quickly stood up straight. Fortunately, he was not noticed by him.

After Qin Ye's laughter died down, Chang Qing hesitated for a moment, then spoke hesitantly, "Master, that Ning is not a good person, and she is very petty."

"Miss Song's behavior now will probably completely infuriate Ning. Given her temperament, she might even resort to desperate measures and threaten Miss Song's safety."

Because of Chang Qing's words, Qin Ye restrained his laughter, frowned, and fell into deep thought.

What Changqing said made sense. Given Ning's pettiness and her long-standing dislike for Song Qianning, it was not entirely impossible for her to do something desperate.

After some careful consideration, Qin Ye raised his head again and ordered in a deep voice: "Changqing, you continue to incite those people. I'm going to the restaurant."

Knowing that Qin Ye had his own plans, Chang Qing stopped talking and responded respectfully.

At the same time, the government office.

Ning Qiuze learned from the servants that Ning had brought people to Song Qianning's restaurant to smash and destroy things. He opened his eyes wide, and was so shocked that he dropped the things in his hands. His voice rose: "What did you say?!"

The servant shrank his head and said cautiously, "Today, Madam brought people to Song Qianning's restaurant to cause trouble and smashed her restaurant. Many people saw this, and Madam also clashed with those people."

At this moment, Ning Qiuze's face darkened completely, darker than the bottom of a pot. He threw the teacup on the table to the ground and cursed angrily.

It's a critical moment right now, and Ning Shi doesn't just stay put and instead stirs up trouble for him. Doesn't she think he's in enough trouble?!

He grabbed the servant by the collar and said, "Where is she now?!"

"Madam just brought people back to the yard..." The servant's voice trembled.

Ning Qiuze, filled with rage, pushed his servants away and went to find Ning angrily without even listening to James.

After seeing Ning, Ning Qiuze's eyes turned red, and without saying a word, he reached out and hit her in the face.
