Chapter 470 Caught

Chapter 470 Caught

Many people just give eighteen coins as a token of congratulation. Some stingy people give eight coins as a token of congratulation. Those who can give thirty coins are considered extremely generous.

Zhuang Yonghe gave a hundred dollars, which was an extremely honorable thing.

You can't say that others are snobbish or vulgar, but the fact is that having this hundred dollars does show that you attach great importance to this matter.

The reason for taking him seriously is that he is He’s eldest nephew.

If other people bring it up again, they will be amazed and say that the He family is lucky and prestigious.

Even though He was not a person who cared too much about face, it was definitely better to hear such nice words than not to hear them.

When He heard Zhuang Yonghe say this, her expression softened immediately. "It's because I'm a girl that I don't mind. You should mind it in the future. This is the only time in your life that this will happen. You can't get over it. People will keep complaining about it for years."

"You really need to be more careful in the future. You are already such a grown-up, don't do things in a clumsy way and make a fool of yourself."

"I know, I know, don't worry," Zhuang Yonghe nodded repeatedly in response, and then asked, "How are you? Does your head still hurt?"

"It's OK. I drank the medicine in the morning and slept for a while. I feel much better now." He said, "I have to say, the prescription given by Wencheng is really good. I don't need to drink the medicine for so long, and the disease will heal faster."

"I caught a cold around this time last year, and it took me half a month to recover. Next time, send two pieces of the remaining tofu to Wencheng's family."

Zhuang Yonghe grinned, "I sent it yesterday, but Wencheng wasn't home either. I heard he went to the county town to listen to a doctor's lecture. He won't be back for several days, so I gave the tofu to Sister Wang."

"Sister Wang didn't say anything and just accepted it. I saw the matchmaker was at her house, so I didn't stay long and just came back."

"Matchmaker?" He gathered her scattered hair and said with a smile, "I guess she wants to arrange a marriage for Wencheng."

"But it's really strange. I heard that Wang's wife also found a matchmaker to propose marriage, but Wencheng was very unhappy when he heard about it. I haven't heard about it in the past few days. When I met Wencheng a few days ago, I saw Wencheng seeing the matchmaker off. He also asked the matchmaker to help him find a good one."

"Appearance and family background are not important. What matters is that he is a virtuous person and does not despise him for his lack of ability."

"Tell me, Wencheng is a kind and honest kid, but he is also stubborn. No matter how much others persuade him, it's useless. He used to dislike Wang Saozi's matchmaking, but why is he so happy now?"

"Who can tell what's going on?" Zhuang Yonghe touched his nose and laughed, "As you get older, you know the benefits of having a wife. That's normal."

Zhuang Yonghe smiled ambiguously, and He's face immediately turned red. She spat, "You old frivolous man...Okay, stop talking here. Hug this hot water bottle to warm yourself up for a while. I'll go get you a cup of hot water."

"Yeah." Zhuang Yonghe nodded and pulled the quilt covering his stomach again.

Seeing He leave the house, the smile on his face disappeared immediately and he sighed.

How could I be so unlucky to have him run into me today? After Zhuang Qingning returned from Zhuang Yonghe's house, he was busy preparing lunch.

The bibimbap was made using modern cooking techniques and production methods. Each person had a portion of it, and it was served with refreshing pickled radish strips and cold dishes. Several people enjoyed the meal very much and praised it highly.

Just as class was about to start in the afternoon, someone came to Zhuang Qingning's house.

The person who came was none other than Fang Hou.

"Shopkeeper Zhuang." Fang Hou came in a hurry, obviously. It was winter and the sweat on his forehead flowed down his cheeks.

Zhuang Qingning's heart suddenly skipped a beat.

What could have made Fang Hou so anxious? Could it be that Cheng Ruize's poison had recurred? "How is Shopkeeper Cheng?" Zhuang Qingning asked anxiously.

Although it was to complete the mission, she was responsible for the detoxification. If there were any accidents, she would have to bear the corresponding responsibilities.

Fang Hou was stunned for a moment, and when he realized that Zhuang Qingning was thinking in the wrong direction, he waved his hand and explained, "My young master is fine, don't worry, Manager Zhuang."

"I came here today to tell you, Manager Zhuang, that the person who poisoned my young master has been caught."

When he said this, Fang Hou's nose turned red with excitement.

"Caught?" Zhuang Qingning was quite surprised, but when he thought that the person investigating the case was Ding Gaochang, he felt that it was reasonable, so he asked, "Who poisoned Manager Cheng?"

"It's a family scandal." Fang Hou sighed, "The one who did this was Zhu Ankang, the former shopkeeper of the spice shop."

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

"Zhu Ankang used to play tricks in the spice shop for many years, selling inferior goods as good ones to make a profit from the price difference and put it into his own pocket. After being discovered by my young master some time ago, he no longer uses him as the head shopkeeper."

"Originally, Zhu Ankang could have been reported to the authorities and sentenced to hard labor, but my young master was kind-hearted and remembered that Zhu Ankang had worked for the Cheng family for quite some time, so he only asked Zhu Ankang to pay 500 taels of silver and drove him away."

"You have done your best, but Zhu Ankang has no regard for your kindness. He holds a grudge against you. He knows that you have the habit of burning incense at the ancestral temple at home, and that the incense is provided by the spice shop. He bribed the clerk who usually sends the incense back with a large sum of money, asking him to send the incense he gave to you instead of the usual incense."

"The incense was mixed with poison. Because the toxicity of each incense is not strong and is covered by the smell after the incense is lit, it is not easy to be detected. Over time, the poison gradually accumulates in the body. In addition, my young master has been very tired during this period, so the poison suddenly took effect and he became seriously ill."

"This Zhu Ankang is really a piece of shit. Young Master gave him a chance to live, but he wanted to kill you. How despicable!"

"I also heard that after Zhu Ankang harmed the young master, he showed no sign of being frightened. When the people sent by Lord Ding went to arrest him, he was still drinking in the brothel and promised the prostitute to buy him a house."

"People like this should be sent to hell and never allowed to rise again!"

Fang Hou became extremely angry when he mentioned Zhu Ankang. He gritted his teeth and looked as if he wanted to eat Zhu Ankang alive. He couldn't help but spit on the ground several times.

After venting his emotions, he grinned and said, "I am really angry with Zhu Ankang. I am sorry to have embarrassed you, Manager Zhuang."
