Chapter 30 The Old Winter Melon Spirit



However, Yu Zhizhi is not someone who is easily defeated; she has a good attitude of "since I'm here, I'll make the best of it."

She was seen hiding in a corner of the prison, resting with her eyes closed, as if enjoying a special vacation.

For three consecutive days, a large crowd gathered outside the Sixth Prince's residence, all waiting for that mouthful of stinky tofu they had been longing for.

Qi Yize sat in the pavilion in his friend's villa, gazing at the lotus pond in the distance, his thoughts drifting far away.

"Hey! Why isn't Yu Zhizhi here setting up her stall yet!"

The more he couldn't eat that stinky tofu, the more he missed it.

I'm so tempted!

Zhao Wu, standing behind his master, looked like he wanted to say something but hesitated, which Qi Yize noticed.

"Zhao Wu, do you know something?"

Only after receiving his master's signal did Zhao Wu dare to reply, "I just went to the government office on official business and ran into Miss Yu."

Qi Yize asked curiously, "Oh? What did she do at the government office?"

What else can they do but report it to the authorities or get arrested?

"They've been arrested!"

Upon hearing this, Zhao Yunjin, who had remained silent until now, finally asked, "What is it?"

"I heard that she was taken to the authorities for questioning because of the bombing of the outhouses of the Zhang, Zhu, and Yu residences last night."

Seeing Zhao Yunjin's slightly furrowed brows, Qi Yize understood.

He probably didn't know about this yet, so he told his friend about what had happened at the three mansions the night before.

"Haha! This is the first time I've heard of such a revenge idea. The person who came up with it must be quite interesting. Do you think Yu Zhizhi did it?"

At this moment, Zhao Yunjin was thinking about what could have such power to blow up the latrine.

He pondered for a moment, then turned to Zhao Wu and said, "Go to the yamen and check the interrogation results."

Then, he instructed Zhao Er beside him: "Go and investigate all of Yu Zhizhi's whereabouts over the past three days, including her family and the young master of the He family."

The two responded in unison, "Yes, Master."

Less than a quarter of an hour later, Zhao Wu returned and reported: "Miss Yu is currently being held in jail. If there is still no evidence pointing to her by tomorrow, she can be released."

Qi Yize felt a mix of emotions after hearing this.

On the one hand, he hoped that Yu Zhizhi could learn a lesson; on the other hand, he was worried that after she was imprisoned, he would not be able to enjoy the delicious stinky tofu for a long time.

If he knew that even if Yu Zhizhi was released immediately, she would never sell stinky tofu again, then he certainly wouldn't be bothered.

close!

Lock her up for at least ten days, or half a month.

Yu Zhizhi was finally released the following afternoon.

The moment I walked out of the prison, I felt like I had been reborn. This prison was simply not a place for a human being. I should stay away from Zhang Lei and his gang from now on.

These three big idiots!

It's no fun at all to just report to the authorities all the time.

"Gurgle gurgle~~"

Yu Zhizhi's stomach growled in protest, a wave of hunger washing over her; she was so hungry that her stomach felt like it could swallow a whole cow.

Just as she was thinking of going out to eat a bowl of noodles to fill her stomach, Little Winter Melon suddenly popped up again.

"Host, congratulations on your release from prison!"

"Little Winter Melon, look at the state I'm in, isn't it a bit pathetic? How about showing some sincerity and giving me a shopping voucher as a consolation prize?"

Little Winter Melon pretended to be stupid, "I deliberately chose this time to tell you where I'll be setting up my stall next time, so I'm being quite sincere."

It had originally planned to tell her last night, but seeing how pitiful she was, sleeping with mice, it couldn't bear it.

Yu Zhizhi muttered under her breath, "What a miser!"

"Tell me! Where will you set up your stall next time?"

Last time I set up a stall in front of the Sixth Prince's residence, this time the lousy system should have some conscience!

"The top of Putuo Mountain".

"Four days later is the annual prayer festival. At that time, many people will definitely go to the temples on the top of Putuo Mountain to pray for blessings and burn incense. You will need to set up a stall on the top of the mountain for four days."

Yu Zhizhi's eyes widened, and she asked incredulously, "What the hell? You want me to set up a stall on the top of Mount Putuo?"

She died again.

Or maybe we should just lock her up in jail for a few days before letting her out!

Seeing her utterly dejected look, Xiao Donggua could only comfort her, "This time, the foot traffic on the top of Putuo Mountain will definitely be much higher than last time, so don't be so emotional."

Yu Zhizhi rolled her eyes: "Do I care about that?"

"This lousy system is terrible. Do you know how high Mount Putuo is? Climbing to the top would definitely kill me."

Not only will we go up the mountain, but we'll also have to come down.

Although going up the mountain is for the purpose of coming down.

One round trip, plus four whole days of setting up a stall, wouldn't she be exhausted to death!

"Did you think my last stall was too easy?"

In modern times, she might not go hiking for years. Whenever her workplace organizes hiking trips, she always tries her best to avoid them, either faking illness or pretending she has something to take care of.

She strongly suspected that the lousy system was deliberately playing tricks on her again.

Just then, Xiao Donggua noticed Yu Zhizhi's change in mood and quickly comforted her:

"Host, don't be angry. I'll plead with the system for you. When the system scores you, it will be more lenient, which will give you a greater chance of getting a level 5 reward."

"Little Winter Melon, can you reveal your true form?"

Upon hearing this, Little Winter Melon was secretly delighted. Could it be that its host was moved by its understanding and wanted to see its true face? So it excitedly replied:

"Sure, I can reveal my true form for two minutes every day. Host, do you really want to see me?"
