The constable was about to leave.

The man on the ground suddenly stood up, fell to his knees with a "thump", and kowtowed three times to Chu Nanyue.

"My name is Wei Shi, and my nickname is Shitou. Thank you for helping me despite past grudges. I will always remember your kindness..."

Although he fell to the ground just now, he was conscious.

Chu Nanyue was kind enough to give him a new life.

Wei Shi wanted to say something else, but was kicked to the ground by the fat man: "Since you are not dead, get out of here and stop embarrassing yourself!"

The onlookers saw this and pointed and talked.

"Isn't this too much of a disrespect for a servant?"

"That's right, Shitou is so unlucky to have met such a master!"

"How pitiful! He doesn't look that old. He's just a child!"

"..."

Complaints are enough, after all, even the constables are of no help, let alone ordinary people like them.

Chu Nanyue looked at Wei Shi crawling on the ground in pain. She narrowed her eyes, stepped forward, and pushed the fat man away: "Your arms are broken, do you want your legs to be broken too? If you dare to move again, I will make you crawl home today!"

The fat man was a little scared of her at this time, and subconsciously jumped behind the constable, with a disgusting face full of fat: "I'm teaching my own servant a lesson, and this evil woman wants to interfere. Please, constable, make the decision!"

Chu Ziyu said, "It's the Constable who should make the decision for us!"

"You maliciously framed us by using the excuse that a servant was poisoned by arsenic, causing my brother and sister-in-law to be injured and our business to suffer. This constitutes the crime of false accusation! According to the laws of our Beixiao country, you will be punished by being beaten with a stick in the street!"

"Stop putting the blame on me. I didn't even know that my servant was poisoned by arsenic!" the fat man retorted.

The constable scratched his head as he looked at the two parties who each insisted on their own opinions.

Chu Nanyue stopped and said, "Shitou, you just said that I saved your life, so I want you to repay my kindness to you now!"

"Did you take the arsenic by mistake or was it your master who forced you to do so?"

Wei Shi hesitated for a moment and glanced at the fat man.

The fat man glared and threatened: "Shitou, old lady Meng is waiting for you to come home for dinner!"

Wei Shi's eyes dimmed instantly, he lowered his head, knelt on the ground and kowtowed, saying sadly: "I'm sorry, young lady... I took the arsenic by mistake..."

Chu Nanyue is so smart, how could she not understand.

The fat man used Old Lady Meng to pressure Wei Shi, thinking that she was a very important person to him.

She stopped forcing Wei Shi and smiled at the fat man: "Would you choose to be beaten with a stick or be disabled?"

The fat man hid behind the two detectives and said smugly: "Don't I have a third choice?"

"A third option? Sorry, there really isn't one!" Chu Nanyue was full of confidence, "My dislocated arm can't be reattached even by the gods!"

She deliberately exaggerated.

Ordinary doctors are of course unable to do anything, but it is possible for doctors with superb medical skills, such as imperial physicians.

It is obvious that this fat man, a poor loser, is not qualified to be an imperial physician.

Otherwise, why would someone do such a despicable thing and try to steal their formula!

"I am the king, bye!" the fat man said disdainfully. His arm hurt and he was anxious to seek medical treatment.

"Wait a minute, you smashed our stall for no reason, you have to pay compensation and then get out!" Chu Nanyue snorted coldly.

"Who gave you the face, you bitch? You broke my arm, and I haven't asked you for compensation yet, but you are the first to complain..." the fat man cursed.

Chu Zixun could no longer bear it, so he jumped up and grabbed his collar, interrupting him: "We villains are the first to complain? What about you guys taking advantage of the situation and kicking me a few times? Do you want to fight me again now?"

"Stop, stop!" The constable shouted, "You all compensate for their losses, and treat your own injuries. This matter is over. Whoever takes the initiative to cause trouble in the future will be taken back to the government office and beaten with a stick!"

"Master Constable is wise!" Chu Nanyue responded, then pretended to snap his fingers and said in a deep voice, "The total loss is 1.5 taels of silver!"

Everyone was stunned.

Oh my god! When I was so proud, the decimal point popped out.

Chu Nanyue realized that her forehead was black, and she looked at Chu Ziyu: "Brother, you do the math!"

Chu Ziyu's eyes flashed, and he said, "One thousand... five hundred coins!"

Chu Nanyue secretly gave a thumbs up and looked at Chu Ziyu with admiration.

The fat man knew that he was being ripped off, and no matter how reluctant he was, he could not stand the constable's tyranny and Chu Nanyue's smacking lips, so he finally paid the full amount of silver while cursing.

"Sooner or later, those who rely on others for power will get their comeuppance!" Xiao Tao cursed viciously when she saw everyone disperse.

"Don't worry, this matter is not over yet!" Chu Nanyue threw the silver to her, her eyes shining.

"What do you mean, sister?" Chu Zixun asked.

He looked at Chu Nanyue with a look of confusion but more of admiration.

"You'll know in three days!" Chu Nanyue patted his head, pretending to be a lawyer, and then said briskly, "Take big brother home first to apply medicine on his wounds. Xiaotao and I will pack up and come back. We'll have barbecue tonight!"

The family said goodbye happily, and their mood was not affected at all by today's little incident.

When Chu Nanyue and Xiaotao finished packing and were about to go home, a luxurious carriage suddenly blocked their way.

"Girl, what a coincidence?" A head popped out of the car window, revealing an evil and handsome face.

Before Chu Nanyue could speak, Xiao Yihang jumped down from the carriage and looked at her carefully. He touched his chin and said seriously, "I didn't see her clearly that day, but now I see that she is so beautiful!"

"It was the young man in red who brought us great success on the first day when we opened our stall!" Xiao Tao saw Chu Nanyue in a daze and reminded him in a low voice.

"Oh, it turns out to be... King Chen!" Chu Nanyue said meaningfully with her red lips slightly opened.

There were no outsiders here, so she thought it would be better to be honest with each other.

Xiao Tao was extremely shocked, her mouth opened into a big "O" shape: "Girl... Miss... the good... good gentleman turned out to be..."

“…You’d better stop talking!” Chu Nanyue held his forehead with his hand, speechless.

Xiao Yihang showed a simple and sunny smile: "The girl is not only good at cooking, but also smart. It really lives up to the saying that she is clever and deft!"

"Your Majesty, you are too kind. I just need this skill to make a living!" Chu Nanyue smiled faintly and replied.

"How about I find a new way to make a living for you? Not only will the work be easy, but you will also earn a lot of money!" Xiao Yihang blinked his peach blossom eyes.

"I'm all ears!" Chu Nanyue's eyes sparkled. She would never refuse any money.

"Go and be a cook in my palace. You only need to cook one dinner a day, and the salary will be ten taels of silver a month!" Xiao Yihang suddenly became serious, which was unusual for him.

The food at his fourth brother's house was delicious, so he often went there to eat for free. But after so many times, his dear fourth brother actually asked the guards to throw him out. Today, in order to avoid him, he even did not light a fire and came to Yujiang Tower for dinner. He followed there and reluctantly ate the leftovers.

How can there be such a stingy person?

Humph! When he invites Chu Nanyue back to his house, he will deliberately bring the delicious meal to Prince Yan's house to tempt his fourth brother. Let's see if his fourth brother will be so angry that his face will turn green.

Thinking of this, Xiao Yihang's face once again showed a bright smile.
