A highly capable heir of an ancient martial arts family unexpectedly transmigrates into ancient times! Not a princess, not a daughter of a noble family, but a villainous mother whose home was just ...
Hearing this cold-blooded suggestion, Qi Guze was a little stunned. These guys were really "outrageous".
"According to what you're saying, if someone gets sick, you'll ignore them and even completely deprive them of the chance to fend for themselves, is that right? Not only will you watch them die, but you'll even wipe them out completely, is that it?"
These words just slipped out of my mouth.
Everyone was stumped by these questions.
The discussion naturally concluded with Qi Guze's words as the standard.
In the afternoon, Qi Guze came to find Xu Yuehuai.
Xu Yuehuai smiled, "Actually, designing the new district is a bit difficult. This morning, Third Sister and I came down to observe it. It can be said that it is adapted to local conditions. Your Highness can take a look."
At this point, Xu Yuehuai handed over a piece of paper.
This drawing was designed by myself. It may seem hasty, but it is actually very precise. Almost every detail is impeccable. It just needs to be further refined.
Everyone looked at each other in surprise. Qi Guze praised, "You're really amazing. I never knew you had such a talent in this area."
"It's so-so, not as amazing as Your Highness thinks." Xu Yuehuai blinked her bright eyes and stared at Qi Guze. "Your Highness has already convinced them?"
"Of course."
Qi Guze looked at the design drawings and said, "These drawings are very good, truly remarkable. You've considered everything I could think of, and even things I haven't considered. It's ingenious."
Xu Yuehuai said smugly, "Then let's begin."
They arrived at the newly opened area in just two days. This event was unprecedented in scale, with a large group of people already working. Watching everyone's enthusiastic appearance and listening to the sound of the machines, Xu Yuehuai felt a strange emotion welling up in her heart.
Because the new server opening took up a lot of her time, she neglected the inn's business.
In fact, since the floods began, the weather today has been very changeable. First, there was torrential rain for three months, followed by intense sunshine hanging overhead, scorching the earth and causing many people to feel dizzy and lightheaded.
Xu Yuehuai and his business also suffered a great blow, with fewer and fewer people coming here every day.
Tonight, someone sneaked into the inn.
There had been arson cases before, so everyone was on high alert. Tonight, the person was just unlucky and was discovered by San Niang, who never sleeps much. At first, San Niang thought it was the inn's waiter on patrol.
But upon closer inspection, it was discovered that the creature lurking in the corner was a furtive, dark figure.
The dark figure seemed to be planning something bad. He kept looking back before arriving at the Tianxianglou warehouse, which contained a lot of grains and countless beverages.
At that very moment, the man blew on the tinderbox and lit it.
Third Sister suddenly realized, "Good heavens, this is arson!"
From the man's back, San Niang seemed to have noticed something amiss. She roared and ran towards him, shouting, "Jiang Mingfu, are you trying the same trick again? Help! Catch the thief! Catch the thief!"
Third Sister shouted and yelled.
Soon someone rushed out from the corner. Fearing he would be caught, Jiang Mingfu scrambled away.
After Xu Yuehuai and Zhou Wan got up, the culprit had already fled. Xu Yuehuai looked at San Niang, who had a lingering fear on her face and gently patted her chest, "Oh, Kong scared me to death, scared me to death."
"Wasn't he the one who was truly terrified?"
In fact, since being ambushed by Jiang Mingfu last time, Xu Yuehuai had made all the preparations to deal with him, but he was just waiting for him to come to him.
The matter seemed to have been dropped, but in reality, Xu Yuehuai did not let his guard down.
In the afternoon, Ah Qi entered her room.
As Xu Yuehuai revised the design drawings, she looked at Aqi and asked, "So, what exactly happened?"
"He rented a house in Lianzi Hutong and got together with Zhou Qionghua. Now Zhou Qionghua has returned to her former tigress-like self. They have nothing left and are destitute. They look pitiful."
Xu Yuehuai curled her lip and sneered, "There's always a reason why someone is pitiful."
In reality, there's nothing to pity about them.
They nodded slightly.
"We need to pay more attention to them."
"yes."
Soon, Qi Guze also joined the investigation. When he learned that Jiang Mingfu had repeatedly provoked Xu Yuehuai in an attempt to kill them, Qi Guze was furious and wished he could kill Jiang Mingfu.
"Even if Your Highness captures him now, what difference will it make?"
"This person is treacherous and utterly disgusting."
“It’s disgusting, but it seems he didn’t do anything heinous,” Xu Yuehuai said, as if a sudden thought had struck her, but she didn’t want to say it directly. She clicked her tongue and said, “I did think of something.”
"Please feel free to speak."
Qi Guze naturally intended to take it as a reference.
Xu Yuehua nodded.
"When Jiang Mingfu arrived in the capital, he was penniless, but after arriving, he was able to open such a magnificent restaurant. Where did the money come from?" Xu Yuehuai prepared to find out.
Qi Guze stroked his chin. "You mean, that was ill-gotten gains?"
"At least it's a windfall, no rush, let's investigate."
Qi Guze quickly investigated and arrested Jiang Mingfu the following day.
Jiang Mingfu shouted, "What are you doing? What right do you have to scheme against me? What are you doing? Let me go! Do you think you're so great just because you're His Highness's people? This is outrageous! This is outrageous!"
Seeing her husband arrested, Zhou Qionghua knew that her affair had been exposed.
If you don't want others to know, then don't do it in the first place.
She was pondering how to escape this fate when she was soon shackled and chained. "Where are you on the thirteenth of the twelfth lunar month?"
The two men trembled, and Jiang Shixu knelt on either side. Xu Yuehuai looked closely and realized that the two men were dressed in tattered clothes and looked extremely worn and dilapidated, but Jiang Shixu? He was still dressed smartly and his clothes were completely out of place with their family's social standing.
The timid and cowardly Jiang Shixu had never witnessed such a scene before, and he was immediately terrified and burst into tears.
Xu Yuehuai glanced sideways at Jiang Shixu.
She moved closer to Qi Guze.
“Jiang Shixu has always been their darling, and now he might be able to be used as a starting point for this case.”
Hearing this, Qi Guze nodded.
"Tell me quickly, what did you do on the thirteenth day of the twelfth lunar month last year?"
"We're all fleeing famine. We just arrived in the capital, and all we do all day is eat, drink, and rest. What? Does Your Highness even want to know this detail? Why don't we take out our brushes, ink, paper, and inkstones and write it down for you?"
Before the evidence is presented, Zhou Qionghua, who has committed numerous evils, is not afraid at all.
“Oh my God,” Zhou Qionghua, who was kneeling, sat down on the ground and began to sob, “Oh my God! So what if you’re a prince? Does that mean you can just grab ordinary people and torture them? You’ve all conspired together. You’re bullying the weak and taking advantage of your strength.”
