When Zhang Ma and Wang Po were about to confront each other, they were stopped by Qian Ruoyu.

"You two should speak on my left and right sides respectively. If you still collude with each other at this time, no one can save you!"

"This is your last chance. Tell the truth. If the data between you two deviates too much, you will all be taken away!"

As soon as Qian Ruoyu finished speaking, the two of them nodded immediately, knowing that there was no room for retreat at this time.

Therefore, Aunt Zhang took the lead and stepped forward and whispered in Qian Ruoyu's ear: "Madam, I still have 135 taels of silver... the rest... the rest has been spent..."

Qian Ruoyu just nodded slightly, and then Wang Po came forward and spoke in Qian Ruoyu's ear.

"My lady, I still have 126 taels of silver, and I have used some of it to buy medicine..."

Qian Ruoyu nodded again, and the two of them returned to their original positions.

"You two should return the silver and come to my Yueya Pavilion this afternoon and leave the silver there first."

"Secondly, I may need your help in the future. This matter can be put aside for the time being. Let's see how you perform in the future. If your performance is not good, this matter will be reported together!"

When the two people suddenly heard Qian Ruoyu's words, they realized that Qian Ruoyu had intended to spare them.

Therefore, both Aunt Zhang and Aunt Wang were moved to tears of gratitude at this moment, as if they wanted to kneel down to Qian Ruoyu again.

"No need to kneel, go back to the crowd now, this matter is not over yet, I hope you can be honest with each other in the future!"

The two nodded immediately and then returned to the crowd.

But he only said two sentences to them, and both Zhang Ma and Wang Po were convinced of Qian Ruoyu and did not dare to hide anything from her.

Qian Ruoyu knew very well that the place where Zhang Ma and Wang Po worked was the place where the kitchen was stored and processed, so there was naturally a lot of money involved, so it was natural that they had to be strictly checked.

Then Qian Ruoyu looked at the dozens of people again and walked towards them slowly step by step.

When everyone saw that Qian Ruoyu made Zhang Ma and Wang Po cry and laugh at the same time with just two sentences, they began to feel a little doubtful about Qian Ruoyu.

But after Qian Ruoyu came over, he still spoke calmly.

"From now on, I will be in charge of the kitchen. If there are any mistakes, please come to me. If anyone dares to come to the kitchen, please come to me!"

"I am in charge of the kitchen, don't worry. Since I am in charge of this place, I will naturally protect it!"

Qian Ruoyu then looked at everyone and asked calmly, "Okay, now it's your turn to ask questions. Tell me, has anyone ever made things difficult for you before? I'll let you know how powerful I am."

Qian Ruoyu had just finished speaking when a maid behind Fatty Liu came out immediately.

"My queen, my queen!"

"That's what you said. So I'll tell you the truth. That afternoon, the Concubine came here and asked us to tell us who stole the watermelon. We don't know anything about this matter!"

"Just because we didn't know that the Concubine had sent her maids, each of them slapped us in the face... oooo..."

As she said this, the maid actually burst into tears.

Obviously the maid's meaning was very clear, which was to ask Qian Ruoyu to seek justice for them.

The maid had just finished speaking when everyone else nodded, looking a little aggrieved. Qian Ruoyu looked at Fatty Liu.

"Fatty Liu, tell me what's going on."

Although Qian Ruoyu already knew some of the behind-the-scenes vaguely, he still decided to ask first.

Fatty Liu coughed lightly.

"Ahem... Madam... Madam Consort is the prince's favorite... this... you... that..."

Fatty Liu looked as if he was totally afraid to say anything.

Qian Ruoyu walked forward and came directly in front of Fatty Liu. She stretched out her hand and actually pinched Fatty Liu's face.

"Look at you, you fat head and big ears! But you are so timid. Look, the little maid said it right away. Now I'll give you another chance to speak again. I will help you get back on your feet!"

Qian Ruoyu spoke almost exclusively in modern dialect, but it did not affect her communication with these people at all.

Fatty Liu screamed after his face was pinched.

"oops!"

"Is it not enough for me to tell you? The little girl is right. The Concubine did come here just now. She even asked us who stole the watermelon and asked us to show all our knives and search for any watermelon rinds..."

"Finally, after not seeing any trace of Xigua here, the Concubine asked her maid to come and beat us up and slapped us in the face."

After hearing this, Qian Ruoyu nodded slightly and let go of Fatty Liu in front of him.

"Well, what a Li Zhiyi, she is so bold that she actually bullies me!"

Although Qian Ruoyu was not the manager of the kitchen before this, Qian Ruoyu was determined to be in charge of this matter.

"Don't worry, I'll call Li Zhiyi over right away. But if I just call her, I'm afraid she won't come. I need you to cooperate with me a little."

Qian Ruoyu was not worried that the people in front of him would not cooperate with him. After all, Li Zhiyi had bullied them before.

In addition, this matter will help Qian Ruoyu establish his prestige in the kitchen and make the people in the kitchen more obedient to him.

Everyone looked at her in confusion.

Qian Ruoyu said lightly.

"Little girl, it's you. If you want me to avenge you, run over and tell Li Zhiyi that you found watermelon rinds in the kitchen and ask her to come over quickly!"

"By the way, this matter has something to do with me, so you won't be implicated. When Li Zhiyi comes over, I will give you an explanation."

After hearing this, the little girl nodded immediately, then ran towards Li Zhiyi without looking back.

Fatty Liu looked at her running away and shook his head helplessly.

"Ah, she is still a little maid after all. She has only been in our kitchen for a few days... She must be unable to bear being wronged. Such things have happened to her many times in the past..."

Fatty Liu looked very natural, as if he didn't care at all after being slapped.

Qian Ruoyu said.

"Although you are just servants of the palace, you also have dignity! You are beaten for no reason and you just keep silent? This is not the style of the people I manage!"
