As Jing Qingrong's confidant, Qingfeng naturally would not tell the truth to Lao Zhou.
He feigned displeasure and said seriously, "Old Zhou, I've told you time and again that the young master and Madam Su are just doing business together. At most, they can be considered friends. Don't always use your little thoughts to fool the master. Even if the lady knew, she wouldn't tolerate it."
Qingfeng naturally knew that Lao Zhou was nominally the young master's man, but in fact he was still the lady's man. He was just sent to take care of the young master and to watch over him.
Therefore, mentioning his wife is more intimidating to Lao Zhou.
But Qingfeng didn't know that Old Zhou had already reported Jing Qingrong's feelings for Su Liuer to Madam Jing, and Madam Jing had also taken action, but it had not been successful yet.
This made Lao Zhou even more anxious, so he wanted to find out Qingfeng's attitude. If Qingfeng could join him in fighting Su Liuer, it would surely be twice as effective with half the effort, and maybe even succeed!
But now listening to Qingfeng's tone, it is obvious that his thoughts are different from his and his wife's.
Old Zhou smiled as if admitting his mistake, nodding repeatedly and saying, "Yes, yes, I've taken note of what you said. I won't dare to speak nonsense again. The son of our Jing family cannot be compared with this common widow. If the Madam finds out, she will definitely not let me off easily."
Qingfeng looked at Lao Zhou deeply, feeling that what he said seemed to have a hidden meaning.
"Then I'll take the medicine down and pour it out. All medicines are poisonous. It's fine now that you're better, young master, so you don't need to take medicine." Old Zhou said as he took the medicine and was about to leave.
Qingfeng said, "Then have someone come up and clear the table. The young master has already finished his meal."
"Okay." Lao Zhou agreed and turned to leave.
Qingfeng frowned as he watched Lao Zhou leaving. The words "If my wife finds out, she won't let me off easily" kept lingering in his ears, making him feel uneasy.
He is now concealing the truth for the young master and not warning him of the serious consequences that may arise.
Is that wrong?

Su Liuer returned to the shop in a good mood and happened to meet a large group of people coming to the shop to eat grass jelly honey. She hurried to the counter to help.
"Madam Su, I haven't seen you for a month. Your shop is doing more prosperous now. I heard you have new products, so I came here to try them." The person who came forward to talk to Su Liuer was Bai Zhicheng, a tea merchant who passed by Qingxi Town a month ago on his way to Shanghe County Wharf.
Su Liuer asked in surprise, "It's Boss Bai, are you guys just back? Or are you going out again?"
"I just came back. I was just passing by and came here. Last time, I shamelessly said I wanted to buy your recipe for Herba Immortal Honey. Now I feel a little embarrassed. Your business is so prosperous. If it were me, I would not sell the recipe to others." Bai Zhicheng replied with a smile.
Bai Zhicheng had just returned from another place, so naturally he didn't know that someone else in the town had already been selling grass jelly honey. He thought that this grass jelly honey was a secret recipe.
"Boss Bai, please sit down first. I just have some good news to tell you. I'll talk to you in detail after I'm done." The good news that Su Liuer mentioned was about joining Su's company. If Bai Zhicheng really wanted to do this business, he could join and open a branch.
Upon hearing this, Bai Zhicheng responded happily and sat down, still sitting with his son Bai Qingcha.
"This Madam Su is very smart at such a young age. If you were half as smart as her, I would be able to hand over the family business to you without worrying about me having to follow you around all day at my age."
Just like last time, Bai Zhicheng used Su Liuer to attack his own son.
