Old Hu squinted, a look of grievance appearing on his wrinkled, orange-peel-like face:
"So that my wife may know, not to mention the other foxes, none of my 139 fox cubs and their offspring dare to provoke anyone. The vegetables in the village are all bought from Mr. Chenxiang; I would never dare to cheat or swindle anyone!"
As he said this, Xu Milu was sitting and stroking Dai Zi's hair—the child was tired from playing and had fallen asleep on her lap, and she couldn't get her off no matter what she did.
"that is!"
"Only wolves love to steal! We foxes even know to spend money when we eat chicken!"
"Please forgive me, madam! It was clearly that scholar who was greedy for money. He used the pretense of killing demons to steal the valuables, and then, fearing that someone would rob him of his silver, he made up this story!"
"Exactly! That den of foxes was so pitiful. They did nothing wrong, yet they were murdered for money and burned to death in their house!"

"That's right! Not everyone is as reasonable as Madam Xu."
A fox spirit said indignantly:
"Fortunately, the City God is wise. He ordered the Day-Roaming God to investigate the cause.

“What this young lady says makes sense. The judges of the underworld are very impartial and incorruptible. They don’t even bend the law in front of their own grandson!”
Old Hu stroked his beard and smiled at Xu Milu:
"My lady has just returned to Chang'an, so she probably doesn't know about the strange thing that happened there. Speaking of which, the person involved in this strange thing is someone you know!"
Do you know her?
It's probably Wei Ying who laid the egg.
Xu Milu's appetite was piqued, and she followed up on Old Man Hu's words by asking, "Is it about the young master of the Wei family and the cuckoo bird?"
