The young lady snorted coldly, exuding arrogance.
However, his gaze turned cold as he looked at the shopkeeper, and he ordered the man next to him to take the shopkeeper back with him.
"Miss, please, I'm willing to compensate you."
Then you see that proud little girl looking at the little dumpling who is much shorter than her.
"What do you say about feeding the child? Do you want compensation, or do you want him to go to jail?"
Upon hearing this, the shopkeeper immediately knelt down and was about to kowtow to the little girl. Su Muyao quickly moved aside.
She doesn't want her lifespan to be shortened.
“Send him to the authorities; bad people should receive the punishment they deserve.”
Su Muyao insisted on sending them to the yamen (government office) so that those who still wanted to bully her family would see what was going on and stop using such underhanded methods.
She understood very well that if she treated this matter lightly, there might be others who wanted her family's braised meat recipe, and they might use even more ruthless methods then.
Therefore, it is better to nip all evil thoughts in the bud.
He rolled his eyes inwardly. That little girl wasn't much older than him, yet she called him a child. But this wasn't the time to talk about such useless things.
The burly men were being held down, but they kept begging for mercy.
"Please, everyone, let us go. We were really confused for a moment. We will definitely turn over a new leaf and never bully anyone again. Please, please let us go this time."
The group begged for mercy from the Su family, saying, "I'll compensate you with silver. How much do you want? I'll give you all my silver."
Su Muyao and Laifu Restaurant are already at odds, so there's no reason for her to back out now.
"I don't want money, I just want justice. Don't think that just because we're from the countryside, we're easy to bully."
Su Muyao spoke with absolute certainty, and the magistrate's daughter simply nodded in agreement. It must be said, this little sister really suited her taste.
Ultimately, this group of people was sent to the government office, where they were tried by the county magistrate.
The final result was that the restaurant owner, for his own selfish gain, instigated others to damage their property, assault them, and frame them, and was sentenced to three years in prison and ordered to pay a total of ten taels of silver in compensation for all losses.
Each of the thugs was also ordered to pay three taels of silver and was eventually imprisoned for two years.
After the Su family left the county government office, a little girl was chasing after them.
"Hey, kid, wait for me."
Then, the magistrate's daughter, panting heavily, chased after them from behind.
"You don't look very old. My name is Su Muyao, you can call me by my name."
"Hi Yao Yao, my name is Wang Yuanyuan. Can we be friends?"
"Of course! From now on, we'll be good friends."
"Yes, she's my best friend," Wang Yuanyuan thought to herself. It's not easy to have such a genuine sister, since all the other girls she'd met before were timid and hesitant.
Otherwise, it's because of their status that they flatter me, and I really hate people like that.
The Su family saw the two babies chatting happily together.
At this moment, the county magistrate's wife also came out, and looked at the little dumpling in front of her and thought it was very cute.
The magistrate's wife came to Old Man Su's side because her daughter rarely had any close female friends.
"Uncle, I see that your granddaughter and my daughter get along quite well. How about we become godparents?"
Old Man Su was at a loss for words. This was their first meeting, so why was he asking to recognize his granddaughter as his goddaughter right off the bat?
She wanted to refuse, but then she remembered that the other party was the county magistrate's wife, and she was at a loss as to how to refuse.
I've heard that when someone is adopted as a goddaughter, especially if the other family is powerful, they can decide the goddaughter's marriage.
He just wants his granddaughter to be happy.
Su Muyao bowed to the beautiful woman and said, "Pretty auntie, I have parents, but I can recognize an auntie. With such a beautiful auntie, I'll make all the kids envious when they hear about it."
The beautiful woman beamed with joy as the little boy called her "pretty auntie" repeatedly.
I never expected that a farm boy would actually bow to me. He seems to be a polite child. If he doesn't want to, then so be it!
"Okay, Auntie it is! You can come and play with Yuanyuan often from now on!"
"Okay, I'll come visit Yuanyuan next time I'm in town," she said, waving her hand before following her grandfather away.
Wang Yuanyuan was not having it. She couldn't let her finally find a like-minded best friend and let her get away like that.
"Yaoyao, can I come to your house to play?"
The little dumpling stopped and turned around. "Of course you can, you're very welcome!"
Old Su felt a headache coming on. That was the daughter of the county magistrate. He was just a peasant. What would he offer to entertain the young lady if he went there?
Wang Yuanyuan turned to her mother and said sweetly, "Mom, I want to go play at Yaoyao's house, okay? I promise I'll be good and come back tomorrow."
The magistrate's wife thought that since someone was protecting him anyway, and this little rascal still had some sense of propriety, she might as well let him go if he wanted to. The child was getting older and couldn't be kept by her side forever.
"Alright, alright, if you're willing to go, then Wanqiu can go with you."
"Goodbye, Mother," Wang Yuanyuan said goodbye to her mother immediately and then pulled Su Muyao away.
I was really afraid that if I left too late, my mother would change her mind.
Old Man Su and his companions followed behind, trembling with fear, all wondering what they should do that evening: entertain the county magistrate's daughter.
And from what I heard from the young lady, she was going to spend the night at home.
Su Muyao rode in the county magistrate's carriage, and when they returned to the village, many people gathered around the carriage.
When Su Muyao and Wang Yuanyuan came down, everyone gasped in surprise, as another young girl dressed in gold and silver was seen coming down.
The gold hairpin in her hair shone brightly in the sunlight.
"Oh my, little lucky star, what's this?"
"Oh, this is my friend, Wang Yuanyuan," he then gave Wang Yuanyuan a brief introduction to the village.
When Su Muyao brought Wang Yuanyuan home, she saw the little girl in front of her. Suddenly, her eyes lit up when she saw the little white fox in the yard leisurely sunbathing.
This was the first time she had ever seen a live fox. She rushed forward and came right up to the white fox. The fox seemed to be startled and suddenly jumped up, trying to swat at Wang Yuanyuan with its paw.
"stop"
The little white fox stopped its paws at the crucial moment. It was no wonder that a strange scent suddenly rushed in front of it; it was truly an instinctive action.
The little girl wasn't frightened at all; instead, she stared at the little white fox with her bright, sparkling eyes.
"Little Yao Yao, can your fox understand human speech? Can you tell it that you want me to pet it?"
“My fox is a bit shy around strangers. Wait until you get to know it better before you touch it, otherwise I’m afraid it might scratch you.”
Wang Yuanyuan's bodyguard suddenly drew his sword.
The guard, walking behind, didn't see his young master at all and almost got caught by the white fox.
But now, he saw animals walking towards him from outside the door.
When everyone realized what was happening, they discovered that the guard was staring at the door.
Looking towards the door, I realized it was Little Wolf who had returned. Although the wolf was called Little Wolf, it was now an adult wolf.
Its thick limbs, glossy fur, and enormous head looked somewhat eerie, especially its sharp teeth.
Old Man Su quickly stepped forward to explain to the guards that these were his own pet wolves and would not harm anyone.
