Chapter 216 Punishment

Deng Shaoyao said, "Sister, he is a scoundrel. Once you get entangled with him, you can't get rid of him."

The maid Qingying said, "I have been trafficked since I was a child. What kind of rogues have I not seen? Apart from other things, my father is also such a person. I couldn't protect myself before, but now I can protect you."

After that, she told the driver outside: "Uncle Li, drive slower and let the person behind catch up."

"OK."

Deng Gui chased all the way until he was out of breath. He kept calling out to Deng Shaoyao in the carriage in front of him until his voice became hoarse, but the person inside did not show up.

"You little bitch, wait till I catch you... ouch... I'm so tired..."

Deng Gui was exhausted, but the carriage was always moving slowly ahead of him. Whenever he wanted to give up, it would slow down. When he started to catch up, it would start running again, making it seem impossible for him to catch up.

Deng Shaoyao hid in the carriage, watching the situation behind and giggling.

Seeing her so happy, Qingying said, "Isn't it refreshing?"

Deng Shaoyao nodded repeatedly: "For so many years, my sisters and my mother have been bullied by him. We didn't dare to resist because we were not boys and my mother couldn't give birth to a boy. Seeing him in so much pain today, I suddenly felt that he was not as powerful as I thought. If we had resisted earlier, maybe my two sisters would not have been sold. Sister Qingying, thank you."

"What's the connection?" Qingying said, "I'll give him a big gift later."

The carriage stopped at Qingyue Restaurant.

"Sister Qingying, aren't we going out of the house to buy cakes for the young master?"

"Qingyue Restaurant has a new dish that tastes sweet. Let's buy some and let the young master try it. I'm sure he will like it."

Deng Gui caught up and saw the carriage stopped at Qingyue Restaurant, and Deng Shaoyao also entered the restaurant.

He looked at the restaurant sign and cursed, "This bitch, she didn't know how to honor her father after making money, and came to a place like this to eat and drink. If I hadn't come to take a look, she would have ruined this family."

Deng Gui strode into the restaurant.

He felt a little guilty at first, but when he saw that the guy at the door didn't stop him, he immediately straightened his back and chest.

"Sir, how many people are there?"

"I'm here to look for my daughter. She just came into your restaurant. My daughter works for the county government."

"It turns out you are the official from the county government. Please come upstairs..."

Deng Gui suddenly became even more proud.

It turns out that he is an official.

If he had known that his daughter would be so impressive after entering the county government, he would have sent her in earlier. Not only her, but also the two money-losing goods in front of him.

Deng Gui asked: "Which wing did my daughter go to?"

"Mudanzhai."

Deng Gui swaggered upstairs and entered Mudanzhai.

"Guest, what would you like to order?"

Deng Gui originally wanted to ask why he didn't see Deng Shaoyao, but when the waiter asked this, he immediately stopped looking for anyone and started ordering food directly.

Anyway, this is the only way to go downstairs. Deng Shaoyao didn't go downstairs, so she must still be upstairs. After he ordered the dishes, he asked Deng Shaoyao to come over to pay the bill.

"What are your signature dishes? How about this, give me one portion of all your signature dishes."

In the next room, Deng Shaoyao was anxious and angry when she heard Deng Gui ordered the signature dish of Qingyue Restaurant.

Qingying drank her tea and said, "What's the hurry?"

"Sister Qingying, the signature dishes of Qingyue Restaurant are not cheap. If he orders so carelessly, it will cost at least thirty taels of silver."

"You are not asked to leave, so why do you care about him?"

"He has no money. After he finishes eating and drinking like this, he will still have to ask me to pay."

"He has no chance to find you." Qingying said, "The owner of Qingyue Restaurant is surnamed Xia, and she has a maid named Shuhui, who is my sworn sister. I often come to the restaurant to find her, and everyone in the restaurant gives me face. I have already told you just now, just watch the show."

Deng Shaoyao patted her chest and said, "I was so scared. I thought I was asked to pay the money! However, Sister Qingying is actually Sister Shuhui's sister. My cousin and Miss Xia are in business together. I met Sister Shuhui when I went to see my cousin."

"Why else do you think I should protect you?" Qingying said, "You just entered the mansion, and you are like a little fool. You are always confused about what to say and what not to say. I didn't want to care about you, but I heard Shuhui mentioned that your cousin is a friend of her master. Since they are one of us, then I will protect you, a little fool."

Only then did Deng Shaoyao realize that she could live such a comfortable life in the county government office thanks to her cousin Qin.

The food next door has already started being served.

Deng Shaoyao listened to the sound of Deng Gui eating and drinking, and a look of disgust flashed in her eyes.

If Deng Gui had any brains, he would have known that this meal was not that delicious. However, Deng Gui had no brains at all.

The waiter came in and brought the delicious meal to the table.

Qingying said, "Don't worry about the people next door, come over and have something to eat."

Deng Shaoyao came over, looked at the delicious food on the table, and asked, "Sister, are we going to eat such delicious food?"

"I'll treat you."

"That's not what I meant." Deng Shaoyao blushed.

"This is Sister Shuhui's honor, and I don't have to pay, so eat!"

Deng Shaoyao felt a little restrained, but when she saw Qingying picking up food for her, she slowly relaxed.

Qingyue Restaurant is indeed the most luxurious restaurant in the area, and every dish is exquisite. However, Deng Shaoyao still thinks that cousin Qin's cooking skills are better.

The food next door is almost finished.

Deng Gui stood up and was about to go out, but was stopped by the waiter.

"Sir, the total is forty-five taels of silver."

Deng Gui muttered loudly: "So expensive?"

"Sir, this is Qingyue Restaurant, the largest restaurant in the city. We are honest and trustworthy, and there is absolutely no fraud or deception." The waiter said good-naturedly.

"That's too expensive." Deng Gui muttered, and then said, "Let my daughter pay for it. My daughter works in the county government, she has money."

"Excuse me, sir. Even if the county magistrate is here, you have to pay before you can leave. There are so many people in the county government office. My second aunt is still working there. I haven't spread the word that I have a relative working there and then go around eating and drinking for free."

"My daughter is the county magistrate's maid."

"I thought it was someone else, it turned out to be a maid. There are at least 50 maids in the county government, if not 100. If all of them came out to cheat, then our store would have no business."

"It's not that I won't give it, I just ask my daughter to give it to me."

"Guest, people who dine for free will find all kinds of excuses to slip away. I've seen this many times. Now I'll ask you one last time, will you give it to me or not?"

Several sturdy men came in from the door, lined up in a row, and looked at Deng Gui murderously.

Deng Gui made a bitter face and begged humbly: "I will give it to you, I will definitely give it to you, but I have no money. You can find my daughter if you want. How about I wait here and you go find my daughter?"

"Boss, someone is eating and dashing." The waiter shouted downstairs.
