"That damn shopkeeper Li actually gave my third brother real poison. He really wanted my third brother to die. He only gave us two taels of silver and wanted to buy my third brother's life."
One of them roared angrily, and then said to everyone: "Don't panic, the food at Tianxianglou is delicious, and there is no problem."
"It was Shopkeeper Li who invited us to come and cause trouble, but we didn't expect him to be so cruel and dare to give us real poison."
“If my third brother hadn’t said that he would have suffered all the hardships alone, I’m afraid we would all have died.”
"Sixth Miss, we are sorry for causing you trouble due to our mistakes. The lives of the three of us brothers will be yours from now on. We are willing to obey your orders."
As they spoke, they both knelt down and kowtowed at the same time.
Everyone sighed, and someone said, "The Li family also has a Sanweiju, no wonder they came to build Tianxianglou."
"This is truly vicious. Is it possible that the Li family is the only one in Qingquan Town that owns a restaurant?"
"You don't know, that Shopkeeper Li is just a slave. I heard that the master behind the Li family is the wife of a high-ranking official in the capital."
"Is this true?"
"Really? The same thing goes for Li's Embroidery Shop. I heard the owners of the two shops are sisters, and they often compete with each other."
"ah?"
"We'll report it to the police later. I hope you can do some authentication. Do you still have the poison?"
Qiu Yinong said to the three of them.
The three of them kowtowed and promised repeatedly: "Sixth Miss, we will definitely go to testify. Thank you for your forgiveness."
Qiu Yinong glanced at the shopkeeper, and Wen Bo walked forward.
"Sixth Miss, should we send them all to the headman?" Wen Bo glanced at the weak man.
Qiu Yinong nodded: "Let's send him over together. He's fine, just a little weak."
"Yes." Wen Bo nodded, called two servants, and helped the weak man to go to the head of the pavilion.
"Okay, everyone, you can continue to eat. If you are worried, you can just leave. I will treat you to dinner today."
As soon as Qiu Yinong said this, several guests became restless.
The person next to him persuaded him to stop, and the man whispered: "Don't look at this girl's young age, but don't offend her casually."
"She was raised by the Zhao family. If you dare to leave this door, believe it or not, you will never be able to dine in Tianxianglou again in the future."
The man whispered back, "Is it really that outrageous? Tianxianglou is open for business, so can she really turn customers away?"
"If you don't believe me, just try it. Anyway, you can leave if you want. I won't leave."
Seeing his friend's persistence, the man no longer dared to have such thoughts.
Qiu Yinong listened to their conversation and saw that no one was leaving. The corners of her mouth curled up slightly, "Today, we're giving everyone a 20% discount and a free snack. Thank you for your trust."
"Thank you, Sixth Miss." All the guests were excited, and fortunately they did not leave.
Qiu Yinong smiled at them, turned around and went back to the counter to continue writing the menu.
Although Tianxianglou is a newly opened store, it is already crowded with customers. Customers come and go in waves, and it is already afternoon in a blink of an eye.
The guests had all left, and the waiters cleaned the hall. Qiu Hanli arranged two tables of food for them.
After finishing their meal, the waiters sat aside drinking tea and chatting, and Wen Bo came back with two other waiters.
As soon as he entered the hall, he drank a few glasses of water without saying a word.
After taking a breath, he said to Qiu Yinong, "Sixth Miss, Shopkeeper Li has been arrested, but someone was the one who instigated the poisoning."
"It was his new concubine, Bai Lian, who instigated this. Now both of them have been imprisoned."
Qiu Yinong was not surprised. The mother and daughter had always disliked her because she blocked their way.
But she didn't expect that Bai Lian would become Manager Li's concubine.
Both mother and daughter became Manager Li's concubines. What kind of crazy situation is this?
Seeing Qiu Yinong frowning, Wen Bo couldn't help but laugh: "Is the Sixth Miss thinking about her mother?"
"Wen Bo knows?"
"I know. This matter has spread all over the town before, but you are young, so we didn't tell you about it."
"That Xu, pregnant with her husband's child, became Manager Li's concubine for the Li family's wealth, but was exposed publicly by Manager Li's ex-wife, Jiang."
"That Bai Lian is quite ruthless. For her own good life, and because she was pregnant with Manager Li's child, she exposed her own mother's secrets."
Qiu Yinong opened her mouth, what a huge pot of melodrama.
"What about Xu? Will she also stay in the Li family as a concubine?"
Wen Bo quickly shook his head and waved his hands, saying, "How can that be possible? The baby in her belly isn't from the Li family, so what's the point of keeping it?"
"I heard that she later asked for a betrothal gift and compensation from Shopkeeper Li, then left with the letter of release."
"But she didn't go back to her original husband. That man later went to the Li family and caused a scene, but was eventually beaten out by the Li family's servants."
"He was found drowned in the river three days ago. When he was found, his body was bloated and floated outside the town."
Qiu Yinong raised her eyebrows: "This man's death was strange."
"We've been speculating these past few days, feeling that something wasn't right about this man's death. But someone saw Xu rent a car and leave Qingquan Town the same day she received the betrothal gift."
"It shouldn't be the Xu family's doing, but I wonder if it's the Li family's doing. After all, isn't the lady behind Shopkeeper Li the one from the capital?"
Wen Bo nodded in agreement.
Chu Hongyun and Jing Xu also remained silent. Jing Xu said, "I roughly know whose servant he is."
"It's the wife of Marquis Pingyang." Qiu Yinong said in a low voice.
