Qian Cui was also a woman who wouldn't let things slide. She had been arrogant and domineering at home for so many years, and no one had ever gotten the slightest advantage over her verbally.

"Old woman, I didn't take your meat, so it's none of your business to nag."

Granny Liu: "Although it's not my family's, it's not yours either. You really rely on your relationship with the Qian family to interfere in the Nan family's affairs. Don't you even know how shameless you are?"

The noise from the two women attracted Old Lady Nan and Qian Lanfang.

Qian Lanfang rushed over anxiously, "Sisters, what are you doing again!"

She looked down and caught sight of the oil stains on Qian Cui and Qian Fang's sleeves, and immediately became furious.

Because there were so many people around, he swallowed what he was saying.

When Granny Liu saw the owner come out, she turned to Granny Nan and said, "Old woman, your family members are dishonest. How could you have brought such a person in?"

Seeing this, Li Xunfang quietly moved to Grandma Nan's side and said, "Grandma, they've stolen more than once, four or five catties of meat each time. If this continues, the girl will have to pay for it."

Qian Lanfang and Old Lady Nan immediately understood what was going on.

Just as Old Madam Nan was about to erupt in anger, Wei Guo came forward and said, "Old Madam, the master wants to see you."

That would be perfect; she could tell Zhizhi about it.

Grandma Nan stormed in, "Zhizhi, it's all your aunt's fault! Those two, Qian and her husband, are thieves. I heard from your Aunt Liu that they've stolen more than once. You need to get rid of them quickly."

Nanzhi poured a cup of warm tea to help the old lady cool down.

"Grandma, don't worry, let them steal it."

Grandma Nan looked up in shock, touching Nan Zhi's forehead with one hand.

"You don't have a fever, so why are you talking nonsense?"

Nanzhi chuckled and said, "Grandma, don't worry. How could you not trust your granddaughter to do things?"

Grandma Nan didn't say anything; of course, she was relieved. But Madam Qian had already taken a lot of meat, which could fetch a lot of money.

She felt sorry for her granddaughter's hard work in doing business, and she also hated the two shameless women in the Qian family.

Nan Zhi finally managed to persuade Old Lady Nan to leave.

"Master, Madam Qian is outside the door."

Nanzhi took a moment to process it and realized who it was, but for the sake of her plans, she only sent the message through Weiguo.

Qian Lanfang stood anxiously outside the door as Wei Guo came out.

She quickly stepped forward and asked, "So, what did Zhizhi say?"

Wei Guo: "My master said that you don't need to worry about this matter; she didn't take it to heart."

Qian Lanfang breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, Chi-Chih was generous and reasonable, and then turned her attention to the suspicious-looking Qian sisters.

"Sister, Zhizhi won't hold it against you this time, but she might not next time. If you make the same mistake again, I really won't be able to protect you."

Qian Cui and Qian Fang turned around and smiled, ultimately showing consideration for their kinship.

Despite the warning, the two did not become any more daring; on the contrary, they became even bolder.

He would bring things home every few days.

First came a few pounds of meat, then oil, salt, soy sauce, vinegar, and spices. In the end, they simply carried the bundles back home.

After finishing work at noon that day, Qian Cui and Qian Fang carried dozens of kilograms of pork back home.

Li Xunfang said irritably, "Eat up, eat up, it'll make you sick of it!"

After saying that, he spat in the direction of the door.

The two walked to the door with smiles on their faces when suddenly several soldiers rushed up.

Qian Cui and Qian Fang struggled and bowed, pleading, "Sir, you've arrested the wrong people."

The officers and soldiers took out the portraits and looked at them: "That's right, it's you. Take them away!"

The group of onlookers in the courtyard were completely baffled.

Finally, he asked Qian Lanfang, "Hey, Nan family, what did those two do wrong?"

The fact that they managed to attract the soldiers suggests they've committed a serious offense.

Qian Lanfang was also completely confused.

Before she could answer, she quickly chased after him.

At this time, Nanzhi's family.

Nanzhi, who was sunbathing on a chair, suddenly sat up, and the fan covering her eyes fell to the ground.

"Master, hurry! Those two have been caught!"

The crackling sound in her mind finally stopped, and Nanzhi came to her senses.

He rubbed his eyes and subconsciously wanted to call out to Song Hanyan, but then suddenly realized that Song Hanyan had gone up the mountain to search for camps and had not yet returned.

"Wei Guo, prepare the carriages, let's head into the city."

Wu Nanshuang came over and asked, "Master, what are we going to the county town for?"

Nanzhi stretched and said, "We've been casting a long line to catch a big fish; now it's time to haul in the net."

Pei Nanqing hesitated and asked, "Can I come along?"

Nan Zhi: "Aren't you afraid of being discovered in the capital?"

"I'm not afraid!" he answered firmly.

Nanzhi quickly shook her head, "I'm scared!"

If those people in the capital still knew that Pei Nanqing was alive, they would definitely send someone to assassinate him. He still wanted to live a few days of peace and quiet.

Pei Nanqing's expression visibly weakened.

You should know that Nam Gyi can't stand men like that.

Especially the handsome young master.

But that's exactly how Pei Nanqing is.

"Alright, alright, I'll take you there, but you need to make some changes."

Half an hour later, Pei Nanqing sat in the carriage with a dark expression.

Wei Guoweimin, who was driving the car, wanted to laugh, but with his master there, he dared not.

The two of them were so embarrassed that their faces turned red.

"Nanzhi, did you do this on purpose?!"

Nanzhi glanced at him. "If you want to go, I'll grant your wish. I've already gone to such lengths, and you still doubt me."

Pei Nanqing's face turned ashen. "I told you to go, not to take me with you like this."

It has to be said that a handsome young man can look quite charming dressed as a woman. I'll try it on Song Hanyan sometime.

Nanzhi coughed twice.

"My dear young master, you're hopeless. If it weren't for me, would you still be alive today?"
