Chapter 83
The fact that Yueting Self-service was framed by Wei Ke Ju and Yan Ting Noodle House had already been known by the crowd...
The news that Yue Ting had helped Wei Ke Ju and Yan Ting Noodle House try to frame her had already spread among the crowd.
At first, everyone thought that these two companies were too outrageous. How could a business matter be so bad as to end up like this?
But it turns out that something even more outrageous is yet to come.
Because of Wang Chang's words, many people knew that this was not the first time Yue Ting Zizhu had suffered such a thing, and that Madam Tao had had conflicts with Yue Ting Zizhu before.
People are always eager to hear gossips that they don't know, so half the city started discussing it.
However, no matter how much they discussed it, ordinary people would not know the deeper truth. The most they knew was that Madam Tao seemed to be in collusion with the Si family; and Si Pu dared to do this because he had the support of the Si family and the Su family.
For a moment, everyone was furious.
It was not until dawn that someone passed by the Si Mansion and found that all the Si family members were taken away on the spot. The head of the Si family, Si Wei, had a dazed look in his eyes and his whole body was weak, like a drowned dog.
The man was so shocked that he ran around telling others, pushing the incident to its climax.
Countless people applauded and were also wondering why even the head of the family was taken away. Could it be that the Si family had committed some other crime?
Yueting self-help.
Being the epicenter of this incident, the store was full of people early this morning. Half of those who came to eat were continuing to gossip, and half were expressing indignation.
"...If my two brothers hadn't held me back yesterday, I would have gone up and beat them up!" Li Xiong waved his chopsticks, getting angrier the more he thought about it.
Zhao Liang and Liu Meng were helpless, but their anger had not dissipated from yesterday to now. The former said: "There will be no government officials there. If they charge you with committing a crime in the street, you won't be able to explain yourself even if you are right."
Although he felt that several officers and soldiers at that time also looked like they wanted to take action.
Who wouldn’t be angry and shocked?
Almost everyone in the huge store was discussing this matter until someone shouted.
"Madam Xiao!"
Xiao Yue, who came to add breakfast, heard the voice and looked over. She saw that it was Zhao Liang, Liu Meng and others. They had just finished adding breakfast, so she walked over.
As soon as I passed by, countless pairs of eyes looked over.
"Madam Xiao, are you okay?"
"Madam Xiao, this has nothing to do with you. Don't take it to heart. It's all their fault!"
"That's right, just because the food is delicious and cheap, they are jealous and targeting us. What kind of people are they?"
“How shameless!”
"Fortunately, the government has eyes, the Si family deserves it!"
Voices of comfort and curses rang out, making Xiao Yue feel warm and want to laugh.
She is indeed a victim, but she is not so miserable that she would be considered weak, right?
Xiao Yue felt that what she said yesterday was quite powerful. Anyone who wants to make small moves in the future will have to think twice. She will not be polite to anyone anymore.
Xiao Yue said, "Thank you for your concern. Yueting Buffet is indeed a small shop, but I will not offend others if they do not offend me. Since we are all in the business of food, we should be more peaceful and focus on deliciousness. There will be more new products in the store in the future, so you can look forward to it and don't be too upset about it."
I said it bluntly yesterday, Xiao Yue will not take the lead in condemning it now.
It not only affects the store business, but also affects other customers who normally come to eat.
Of course, this kind of thing will take at least three or four days to gradually subside and will not affect normal operations too much.
At that time, everyone in the store was still talking, and one of them mentioned Wei Ke Ju.
"You don't know, I passed by that smell this morning..."
Xiao Yue took the opportunity to learn that Wei Ke Ju was surrounded by people this morning because the shop's doors and windows were closed and were pelted with rotten eggs.
The smell is enough to make one frown just by imagining it, and all one can say is that it's what he deserves.
Not only did people mention Wei Keju, but another person also mentioned him - Xu Qingwu.
Everyone naturally felt full of pity for this child.
Someone asked, "Madam Xiao, what happened to the girl? Is she okay?"
Xiao Yue was about to go back when he stopped and thought about how Xu Qingwu looked dazed when she woke up this morning, and how she stuck to him even when eating breakfast.
She chuckled, "It's nothing serious, don't worry, we will take good care of her."
"That's good, that's good!"
The unnecessary big guys all kept silent at the same time. After all, at present they only knew that Madam Tao was colluding with the Si family, but the details had not been determined yet, so it was difficult to discuss.
Xu Qingwu is in the store, so the child may not fail to understand what she said, but it would be bad if he heard it.
Zhou Xin and his cousin were sitting at the table next to Zhao Liang. As this matter concerned Xu Qingwu, he lowered his head with a bit of self-blame.
"It's my fault too. If I hadn't been so scared at the time, I wouldn't have been talking about kittens and puppies..."
It turned out to be a child crying. Zhou Xin was frightened and left quickly.
If not, could the child have been found earlier, avoiding so many days of fear?
The cousin patted him on the shoulder and said, "How can you be blamed for this? I have never seen such a vicious woman. She is so cruel!"
Zhao Liang, Liu Meng and Li Xiong on the side nodded, and the latter slammed the table with his fist.
Xiao Yue had already returned to the backyard. She heard what Zhou Xin said before he left, and couldn't help but recall the night when she heard the sobbing.
"Meow~"
Xiaoju rubbed against her legs.
Xiao Yue half squatted down, touched its head, and murmured, "Did you hear it too? No wonder your eyes are so bright."
But cousin Zhou Xin is right. We shouldn't take on such an unimaginable thing, but we still feel sad.
Madam Tao and the Si family are in collusion, so they join forces. So what is the hidden story?
Xiao Yue soon found out about this.
Early the next morning, one day after the Si family was taken away, shocking evidence of the Si family’s crimes was posted at the door of the government office.
In the end, not only will Si Wei be sentenced to death, but his shops such as Shixianglou will be sealed off, and everything in the huge Si family will be implicated.
The Si family completely collapsed at an astonishing speed.
…
Yueting self-help.
After the shop closed normally, Xiao Yue welcomed two customers.
One was Duan Lin, who was pale and limping, and the other was Cheng Min, who had a wooden face and served as his crutch.
Both of them are government officials, and one of them is the captain of the guard, who is responsible for personally investigating the events of the past few days. They can all guess what the purpose of their coming here is.
In addition to telling the parties the well-known affairs of the Si family, there is also Xu Qingwu's secret.
To be honest, Xiao Yue never expected the government to act so quickly, so all the preparations he had made to fight the Si family to the end were scrapped.
However, Xiao Yue applauded this, but he glanced behind the two of them, a little puzzled: "Where is Fu Xunzhou?"
She remembered that he said if there was any follow-up, he would come and tell her in person.
Duan Lin moved to the side with difficulty and sat down. Hearing this, he paused for a moment and pretended to be in pain: "Madam Xiao, I am in this state and I still want to come and tell you in person!"
"I'm sorry, what's wrong with you..." Xiao Yue's attention was successfully diverted, and he touched his nose and asked about his injuries.
Duan Lin sighed, "It was an accident when I was checking the Si family. It's not a big deal. As for Master Fu... he has something to do. I estimate he will be back tomorrow or the day after tomorrow. I will tell you about it first."
Lu Ran looked at the way he was trying to endure the pain, frowned and looked away.
"I see." Xiao Yue nodded and glanced at Fang Sanhong who came out of the room.
She had just brought the sleepy Xu Qingwu back to the room, and she probably had fallen asleep by now.
Xiao Yue then continued to ask with confidence: "So what did Fu Xunzhou mean when he said there was a hidden story?"
All the members in the store were there and they fell silent after hearing this.
Duan Lin didn't beat around the bush and spoke directly to the explosive content: "Xu Qingwu, she is Si Shu's daughter."
Si Shu, this name was unfamiliar to everyone in the store before, but it has been discussed everywhere in the past few days and has become well-known, so it is hard not to know it.
Is he Xu Qingwu’s biological father? !
Xiao Yue's mind went blank for a moment, and he struggled to find his voice: "Then, Madam Tao?"
"I used to be a maid in the Si family, but later Si Shu chose the daughter of the Zhang family for the development of the restaurant, so Madam Tao found someone else..."
Duan Lin briefly outlined this matter which he had already known in advance but was still a headache to talk about.
As he spoke, he looked calmly at the first person who knew the situation.
Lu Ran's expression did not change, but Sun Wen and the sisters beside her were extremely surprised and looked at her frantically to confirm whether it was true or not, and then she nodded.
Several people were dumbfounded.
Xiao Yue was not in a good mood, especially when she heard Duan Lin say that Madam Tao was tempted by Si Pu's conditions and agreed to cooperate, she burst into laughter on the spot.
When people are speechless to the extreme, they will laugh out loud.
Should she say that Madam Tao was stupid, or that Si Pu was being too clever?
No, both of them are actually quite good at making plans for themselves, but this matter is bound to end in failure in the end.
Xiao Yue is a victim, but not the only one. There is another person who has been hurt even more...
Duan Lin continued, "The people who accidentally took the laxative that day were all from the same group. They didn't have the guts to harm innocent people, so Madam Tao can only be considered morally corrupt but not guilty of the death penalty. The mastermind was Si Pu. She was punished and released from prison last night, but..."
but?
what else?
Xiao Yue and Fang Sanhong looked at him, no longer expecting to hear anything like a change of heart or a tearful apology.
As expected, Duan Lin said expressionlessly, "She went and came back, and turned to Si Shu to tell him her true feelings, saying that after all she had gone through, she found that she still loved him, and was willing to die with him and face the injustice of the world together."
“…”
The silence of everyone in the yard was deafening.
"Where are the two men?" After a long while, Fang Sanhong asked coldly, "Where did they go? Are they dead?"
Duan Lin understood that she was referring to Xu Qingwu's two uncles, and was even more speechless. He said disdainfully: "I left as soon as I got out. I packed up and left the city overnight."
Out of town?
What is this?
Scared and ran away?
"What about Xiaowu..." Su Xiaoxiao bit her lip and asked the key question.
It was this question that left everyone speechless.
During the silence, Xiao Yue suddenly realized something and his expression changed.
That is - does Xu Qingwu know about this, or how much did she hear that day?
Wang Chang knew about Madam Tao's affairs. Did he reveal any of it when the two of them were discussing it? And to what extent did he reveal it?
Xiao Yue's heart ached as he recalled that since Xu Qingwu came here, she had never mentioned Madam Tao and her two uncles.
Will it be...
If she could think of it, Fang Sanhong would naturally think of it too, and even everyone in the store had a vague guess about it.
Duan Lin finished speaking and stood up: "As for the rest, it's not important. I'll go back and ask for your opinion. The government is also responsible for making arrangements for Xu Qingwu's future."
Young master?
Xiao Yue noticed these two words in his words and paused, but before he could ask, Su Xiaoxiao beside him stood up.
"Then I'm ready to go too." She scratched her head: "Don't worry, Sister Xiao, I'll be back soon."
At noon today, Xiao Yue saw Su Xiaoxiao received a letter, and soon heard her say that she would be away for a few days before returning home.
Xiao Yue guessed that the letter was from the Su family. After all, the Si family had an accident and the marriage was naturally terminated. In addition, whether the two families had any other connection and Su Xiaoxiao's knot in their heart, it was time to make it clear.
Therefore, Xiao Yue naturally agreed, and she felt relieved to have Cheng Min accompany her - Su Xiaoxiao told them that Cheng Min was currently working in the government and had achieved some success.
Xiao Yue nodded and said, "Okay, go ahead and handle it. We'll wait for you to come back."
There were two people when they came and three when they left, and the yard was half empty.
Xiao Yue stood at the back door for a while and came to a conclusion of four words.
It's really...absurd.
——
As it got dark, everyone gathered together for dinner.
Xu Qingwu still liked French fries. She ate more than yesterday and smiled more often.
After dinner, Xiao Yue kept everyone for a while and went back to the room.
When she came out again, she was holding an exquisite lantern in the shape of a small phoenix.
"Xiao Wu, this is what I bought for you before, but we never put it up. How about we go to the riverside and put up the lanterns now?"
Xu Qingwu was stunned. As others looked over and exclaimed "Wow" exaggeratedly, she jumped off the bench and came to the lantern.
"Great, so pretty, let's go release the lanterns!"
"Walk!"
Xiao Yue curled the corner of his mouth and saw Lu Ran picking up the things. Then a group of people walked through the yard in a mighty manner and went down the stairs not far from Yanting Bridge. After going down, there was a platform connected to the water surface.
It was a little dark here, but when the tinderbox lit the oil thread of the small phoenix lantern, the world suddenly lit up.
Xu Qingwu was held in Fang Sanhong's arms to avoid danger. Seeing this, she exclaimed and her eyes seemed to fall into stars.
"Xiao Wu, make a wish!"
Xiao Yue carefully placed the Phoenix lantern into the water, then took the remaining small lanterns handed to him by Lu Ran, and finally lit them up together with everyone and put them into the water.
The water ripples, and small lanterns surround the Phoenix lantern in the center.
It's brighter here.
Xiao Yue turned his head and saw Xu Qingwu standing in a daze. Then he slowly closed his eyes, crossed his hands into fists, and spoke with his mouth moving slightly.
No one heard what she said, but the little phoenix would eventually spread its wings and fly.
