Chapter 123 She should be nicer to Xiao Jinxuan in the future

"A letter from Ye Wuque?" Xie Zhuoning was surprised when he saw the letter.

She opened it, took a quick look, and frowned slightly.

There are three things written in the letter.

One is that he has already left the capital and returned to Western Chu, but in time, he will come back and let her wait for him.

The second was that he had left a "surprise" for Xiao Jinxuan, hoping that His Royal Highness Prince Xuan would enjoy it.

Third...

Before Xie Zhuoning finished reading, a figure rushed in from outside with an anxious look on his face, "Miss, this is bad, something big has happened!"

She put away the letter without leaving a trace and looked over inquiringly, "What happened?"

"Our Baiweixuan cakes are so delicious that they can kill people!"

…

"Didn't we agree to fake his death? Why is my husband really dead? Liar, I will fight you to the death!"

Inside the Huicui Building, a woman in coarse linen clothes rushed over and tried to grab Xie Wanyin.

"What are you still standing there for? Hurry up and pull this bitch away!"

Xie Zhuoning was furious and immediately ordered his servants to pull the man away.

When the woman saw that they were outnumbered, she immediately sat cross-legged on the ground and started crying.

"My dear husband, you died tragically, leaving us orphans and widows. What shall we do?"

Xie Wanyin got a headache after hearing this, and quickly asked someone to close the shop and then asked someone to invite He Jinyun over immediately.

As soon as He Jinyun entered the room, he saw the woman with a seven or eight-year-old girl sitting on the ground crying. His brows knitted together and he asked, "What's going on?"

"I also want to know what's going on." Xie Wanyin felt very confused.

The woman's husband is called He Er, and he is a local gangster.

She originally wanted to spend some money to have He Er put some drugs in the cakes of Baiweixuan, so that people would vomit and have diarrhea after eating them, and then go to the door to make trouble, so that others would naturally dare not buy things from his shop anymore.

But He Er told her that if it was just a stomach upset, it would not be a big deal. After a while, the storm would pass and everyone would start going to Baiweixuan to eat and buy cakes again.

But if someone died, the situation would be different. The government would directly close down Baiweixuan, and no one would be able to compete with Huicuilou anymore.

He said he had a drug that could make people fake their death. After taking it, it would be like being really dead. The only difference from a dead person would be a red line on the palm of your hand.

After the matter is done, you can take the antidote.

But before the fun started, He Er's wife discovered that the red line was gone.

In other words, He Er is really dead!

After a brief pause, He Jinyun said, "His death may not be a bad thing."

Fake death is fake after all and may not withstand scrutiny by the government.

But if he really died, Baiweixuan would never be able to recover.

"What did you say?" He Er's wife glared at He Jinyun. If there was no one holding her back, she would have rushed over and tore him to pieces.

He Jinyun was very calm, looking up at her, "Am I wrong? Look at the scars on your arm and the wounds on your daughter's forehead. They were all beaten by your husband, right? Now that he is dead, you and your daughter are free, right?"

"We will pay you ten times the amount we agreed on before. Now you can take your husband's corpse and your child to Baiweixuan and make a scene. Cheate him out of a large sum of money. Then you and your daughter will have no worries about food and drink for the rest of your life."

He Er's wife's eyes flickered, and it was obvious that she was moved by what she said.

"You're right. My husband is dead, but my daughter and I still have to live..."

By the time Xie Zhuoning and Song Yuqiu arrived at Baiweixuan, the entrance was already blocked by onlookers.

The tragically dead man lay on the ground with a livid face, and beside him knelt a mother and daughter in mourning.

"I beg all the villagers to help me!"

"My husband He Er bought a piece of cake from Baiweixuan and died of poisoning after taking just one bite!"

"You've left me an orphan and a widow. What are we going to do in the future?"

The little girl threw herself on the man, crying "Daddy" loudly.

The woman cried out heartbreakingly, making everyone who heard her feel sad and cry.

The people around were filled with indignation.

"This Baiweixuan is too much. Even a big restaurant can't bully people in this way."

"That's right. I told you that the cake was weird and not a good thing. But you guys rushed to buy it. Look, someone died after eating it!"

"I just bought one, but luckily I didn't eat it and returned it soon. Bah, I waited in line for more than a month!"

"I think we should report this to the police and make them pay for their crimes. Blood debt should be paid with blood!"

"That's right, blood debt must be paid with blood!"

A large group of people followed suit, and quite a few even took rotten vegetable leaves and stinky eggs and smashed them on the door frame and signboard of Baiweixuan.

The shopkeeper of Baiweixuan didn't even dare to explain, and he didn't even dare to open the door.

Xie Zhuoning frowned, "No."

Not to mention that Baiweixuan uses only the most sophisticated ingredients in making its cakes and strictly controls every level, so there is absolutely no chance of poison being mixed in.

Furthermore, the cakes at Baiweixuan are limited in quantity and time and are very expensive, so generally only the rich and powerful can afford them.

Look at the woman and her daughter, both of them are wearing patched linen clothes. Why would her husband spend so much money to buy a cake?

You know, the price of a cake is enough for ordinary people like them to eat and drink for a whole year!

She looked reserved and looked at Song Yuqiu, "Can you tell what's going on?"

Song Yuqiu shook her head, "It's too far away. We need to get closer to know."

As they were talking, officials from Jingzhao Prefecture arrived.

"Get out of the way, everyone!"

The officers took the shopkeeper and his employees away for questioning, and sealed the door with two seals.

Even He Er's body was transported back to the government office for autopsy by the coroner.

Song Yuqiu was extremely anxious. "It will be even more difficult to deal with the corpse once it is brought to the government office."

"No, it will be easier once we enter the government office." Xie Zhuoning already had an idea in his mind.

She knew that the four smart and brilliant brothers had been following her, so she called them out directly.

"I want to see you, Grandpa."

After a stick of incense, Xiao Jinxuan appeared in front of Xie Zhuoning.

He did not change out of his court dress, the jade belt and dragon robe, which exuded majesty in its elegance.

Xie Zhuoning was a little surprised. "You came here before you even went home to change clothes after court?"

Xiao Jinxuan looked a little unnatural, "It's rare that you take the initiative to want to see me."

How could he miss such an opportunity?

Xie Zhuoning's eyes flickered, and he suddenly felt like a bit of a scumbag.

In the past, I asked him to keep the secret time and time again, and kept him away from me when there was nothing going on. But when something happened, I suddenly thought of him.

Even though she died at his hands in the previous life, how had Xiao Jinxuan done anything wrong to her in this life?

Not to mention, he was suffering from a hidden illness and was a pitiful person.

Giving Xiao Jinxuan a pitying look, Xie Zhuoning suddenly decided to be nicer to him in the future.

Xiao Jinxuan always felt that she looked at him strangely. He put his fist to his lips and coughed twice. "You called me here, is there something wrong?"

Xie Zhuoning suddenly came back to his senses and returned to the topic, "I would like to ask you for a small favor."
