He Jiuniang was amused by them and said, "Then you go ahead and do your work, drink slowly, I'll come and collect the bowls in a bit."
This time, He Jiuniang only brought four bowls, leaving none for Lu Baichuan. Moreover, He Jiuniang was talking to Lou Chong and the others the whole time, completely ignoring Lu Baichuan.
She was about to leave, so Lu Baichuan quickly stopped her and said, "We were talking about Liu Yancai. Why don't you listen in? I think things are complicated, and I'd like to hear your opinion."
He Jiuniang wasn't interested, but she couldn't embarrass Lu Baichuan in front of so many people, so she sat down to the side.
Lu Baichuan asked, "Where were we?"
Everyone immediately became serious, and Lou Chong replied, "I don't know the details about the girls in Danzhu Tower."
"Um."
Lu Baichuan nodded, and fearing that He Jiuniang might not understand what had happened, he added, "Tell your sister-in-law the whole story."
He Jiuniang wanted to say no, she was just listening casually, but Lou Chong had already started talking, and as she listened, He Jiuniang's expression turned sour.
Do you really think those girls in Danzhu Tower were unaware of the situation?
After Lou Chong finished speaking, Lu Baichuan looked directly at He Jiuniang, not allowing her to slack off in the team.
He Jiuniang immediately shook her head, her voice cold: "Impossible, those girls definitely know."
Upon hearing this, Lou Chong and the others were stunned and immediately said, "Why? If they knew, why would they spread it around? Wouldn't that expose themselves?"
He Jiuniang laughed and said, "Is it possible that they said that on purpose to lead you to think that way? Judging from what you just said, those people may not have used virgin blood at all, but just wanted to confuse the issue?"
The group stared wide-eyed and turned to look at Lu Baichuan, only to see him looking at He Jiuniang with a shameless smile on his face.
Everyone: ...
No wonder the boss asked them that question just now. So, they were thinking the same thing?
Looking at it this way, they really were the ones who were stupid!
But they really didn't expect things to be this complicated.
"Sister-in-law, if they did this on purpose, what would they be after?"
One of the young men scratched his head in confusion, unable to figure out the reason.
He Jiuniang thought for a moment and said, "I just want everyone to know that the madam of Danzhu Tower only likes to collect virgin blood and will not harm people. If it is really investigated, it can only be considered a special fetish and cannot be a crime."
The young man immediately realized what was happening and said, "I understand! In other words, they are actually involved in the sale of human lives behind the scenes!"
He Jiu Niang snapped her fingers: "Clever!"
Everyone suddenly understood, especially Lou Chong. He had initially thought that they should be more careful in their actions and not involve the unsuspecting girls.
Originally, it was a gesture of pity and tenderness, but if I actually did that, I might become a great traitor.
"So what should we do next?"
The group looked at the couple with anticipation in their eyes.
They originally thought their boss was already very capable, but they didn't expect his sister-in-law to be so smart as well, knowing immediately that things were not simple.
No wonder they became a couple, they are a match made in heaven!
Lu Baichuan said, "Don't rush. Let's continue to investigate without alerting them. Find out their real hiding place, or more accurately, where they hide their people. I suspect they've been involved in kidnapping and murder for money."
"Okay!" the young man readily agreed. "We'll go after we finish eating!"
Everyone: ...
I thought he would be eager to go, but I didn't expect him to stay for dinner.
He Jiuniang found it amusing and said, "Then you guys play for a while, I'll have Xiaoyong go to the shop and get some Lu Hei Ya (a type of braised duck)."
"Okay, okay, sister-in-law, I like duck heads, take two more!"
"I like chicken feet and duck feet!"
I like duck intestines!
...
The group chased after He Jiuniang and made sure they knew exactly what they wanted to eat.
Lu Baichuan roared angrily, "Come back!"
Everyone hurriedly ran back to the bedside, and Lu Baichuan scolded angrily, "Do you think my wife is a maid?"
The men shook their heads. Lu Baichuan was furious. If he could get up now, he would love to kick each of them.
The group looked at each other, completely bewildered. They hadn't expected their boss to get angry over something like this, even though they hadn't done anything wrong!
Lu Baichuan didn't care about any of that. He asked a few more questions about what was happening in the prison and Qin Jian's situation, and then sent them away.
"If you want to eat, cook for yourself. You two will exhaust my mother and wife!"
His mother was clearly cooking to nourish him, but now these guys are getting the benefit.
Before, when we were out, we always took care of our own meals, so asking them to cook wasn't asking too much of them; in fact, they were quite happy to do it.
After all, cooking is much more comfortable than solving cases.
However, when they were about to leave, another young man said, "Boss, the house is so big, why don't you buy more servants? It's too tiring for my aunt and sister-in-law."
Lu Baichuan knew perfectly well that this would tire his mother and wife, but his mother wouldn't allow him to buy it!
He had been away from home for many years, causing his parents great distress, so naturally he dared not do anything to disobey them now.
He waved his hand wearily: "This is none of your business. Get lost."
The group went to help in the kitchen, and the sight of several grown men startled Mrs. Sun.
"Auntie, we're planning to stay for dinner tonight, so we came to lend a hand, hehehe!"
Lou Chong spoke up as the representative, and Madam Sun smiled and said, "I knew you would be eating here, and I've prepared your portions, but you don't need to help. Go out and have some fun!"
"Auntie, we can cook, but our skills are definitely not as good as yours. By the way, my name is Lou Chong, hehehe!"
The other three quickly followed: "My name is Ren Jun!"
"My name is Shang Yifei!"
"My name is Ning Yan!"
Then they all bowed to Madam Sun and said in unison, "Hello, Auntie!"
"Okay, okay!"
When Mrs. Sun saw so many young men, her eyes narrowed with joy. Who wouldn't like a sensible and polite child?
In the end, the group stayed in the kitchen to help, such as lighting the fire, fetching water, and washing vegetables. They also told Mrs. Sun some interesting stories they had encountered outside over the years, which made her laugh.
He Jiuniang was squeezed out instead. She touched her nose and thought that it wasn't that she didn't want to help, but that the kitchen was too small and there were too many people, so there was really no room for her.
When Gou'er got tired of reading, he ran to take the little monkey to play with Lu Baichuan. Hearing bursts of laughter from the kitchen, he became curious and ran towards the kitchen. When he saw He Jiuniang come out, he shouted at the top of his lungs, "Mommy, Daddy is looking for you!"
