After she became a county magistrate, she took the ghost to investigate the case

She felt that there were many bizarre details in this case and she had to sort out the relationships among them.

Xu Yingying felt very troubled. Based on the current clues, she could not get any useful breakthrough.

Just then, she heard a noise outside.

"It's over!" Xu Yingying murmured to herself.

She had already expected that it must be Taohua's fault.

Xu Yingying vaguely heard someone shouting "fire", so she did not rush to the kitchen immediately, but instead fetched a bucket of water.

When she got to the kitchen, the fire was not too big, so she put it out directly with a bucket of water.

Taohua's mother was relieved only after seeing the fire was put out.

However, her heart was still beating fast. She saw the food jumping into the pot by itself and the haystack suddenly caught fire. All of this was too unbelievable in her mind.

Thinking of this, she shook her head, "It's terrible."

Taohua's mother's eyes were filled with emptiness, and she was obviously very scared.

Seeing the peach blossoms nearby, Xu Yingying felt helpless.

She glanced at Taohua's mother and said, "My Lord, it really wasn't me who did it. It was in broad daylight and I saw something unclean. It's too much."

Taohua's mother gestured to Xu Yingying, "I'm really not trying to shirk my responsibility..."

She is somewhat incoherent now.

Seeing this, Xu Yingying quickly comforted Taohua's mother, "I believe you, don't be anxious, talk slowly."

Xu Yingying was afraid that Taohua's mother would be frightened silly, so she hurried to comfort her.

She also knew that no matter what Taohua's mother said, it must be true. After all, looking at Taohua's expression, she knew that Taohua must have caused trouble.

Taohua lowered her head and said nothing. After all, she was not in the right in this matter.

"I just passed by and saw the smoke, so I walked in, and found that these ingredients were actually lining up and going into the pot by themselves. Look, there are only two of us here, so who did this?"

Taohua's mother pointed at the ingredients in the pot and spoke in shock.

"You may be dazzled. This is what I just asked my servant to do. I just came back from a case and I'm a little hungry."

Xu Yingying patted Taohua's old mother on the shoulder, trying to confuse the past.

Taohua's mother was stunned. She was clearly not mistaken. "But that haystack..."

Taohua's old mother still felt that she was not mistaken and insisted that there was definitely something wrong with this matter.

Hearing this, Xu Yingying scratched her head.

The haystack is indeed a little difficult to explain.

"Oh, the haystack might have encountered an open flame. I'll tell them to put the haystack outside next time." Xu Yingying made up a lie.

Although this lie was difficult to convince Taohua's mother, there was no better choice at this time.

"Ah?" Taohua's mother was a little surprised.

The haystack encountered an open flame?

After hearing these words, Taohua's mother still felt something was wrong.

But I am old after all, and I was the only one who saw it, there were no witnesses.

Even if this matter were told to others, I'm afraid no one would believe it.

After all, even she herself found it outrageous.

"Okay, that's it. You must be too tired recently. I'll give you a holiday. Rest for two days and go back to work the day after tomorrow." Xu Yingying said to Taohua's mother.

After hearing what Xu Yingying said, Taohua's mother was very grateful.

She also felt that maybe she was just too tired recently.

Take a break and see if this happens again next time.

If you really encounter this, it means that this time it is definitely not because of your old eyesight.

Only after watching Taohua's mother leave did Xu Yingying breathe a sigh of relief.

Good guy, I finally got her to leave after much persuasion.

At this time, Xu Yingying glanced at Taohua.

Taohua felt very insecure, so she lowered her head.

Seeing Taohua lowering her head, Xu Yingying did not punish her.

But...even though the fire was out, the kitchen was almost burned down.

Thinking of this, Xu Yingying became angry again.

Taohua was about to laugh along with Xu Yingying, but when she saw Xu Yingying's expression, she lowered her head in shame.

"Taohua, how did this happen?" Xu Yingying looked at Taohua helplessly and asked.

After hearing what Xu Yingying said, Taohua repeated it, saying that she messed up because she was too scared.

After hearing Taohua's words, Xu Yingying was about to scold Taohua.

"I was wrong. I will definitely cook twice as much delicious food for you in the future." Taohua held Xu Yingying's hand, looking coquettish.

Seeing that Taohua admitted her mistake sincerely and was so well behaved to her, Xu Yingying decided to let Taohua go for the time being.

"It's a deal then. Make more delicious food." Xu Yingying glanced at Taohua.

After hearing this, Taohua nodded continuously. Seeing Xu Yingying forgiving her, she seemed very happy.

But this kitchen is no longer usable.

Xu Yingying looked at the dilapidated kitchen and wanted to repair it with her own money, but she really overestimated her wallet and she had no money to repair the kitchen.

Xu Yingying sighed helplessly.

At this time, Li Siqi also came.

"What's wrong with this kitchen?" Looking at the dilapidated kitchen, Li Siqi asked in surprise.

Xu Yingying rolled her eyes at Li Siqi. She didn’t really want to talk to Li Siqi right now.

What's more, now that I'm in such an embarrassing situation, I don't know how Li Siqi will mock me.

Li Siqi felt helpless when he saw that Xu Yingying ignored him. He came here just to make peace with Xu Yingying, but it seemed that this topic was not appropriate.

At this moment, an idea came to Xu Yingying's mind.

Once the case on hand is closed, he will run away.

Li Siqi also saw Xu Yingying's predicament at this time, "Oh, I'm sorry about what happened today."

Li Siqi rubbed his hands awkwardly.

He has realized that he was disrespectful to Xu Yingying.

Although both of them are men, the adults may be shy by nature, and what he said before was indeed a bit excessive.

Seeing that Li Siqi apologized so sincerely, Xu Yingying's anger subsided a little.

"Forget it, it's all in the past anyway." Xu Yingying said lightly.

After hearing Xu Yingying's words, Li Siqi nodded.

"Well, if you don't mind, could you please have dinner with me?"

After Li Siqi finished speaking, Xu Yingying's ears moved.

What? Eat together?

Is there such a good thing?

After hearing this, Xu Yingying was very happy.

"Are you sure? Xu Yingying glanced at Li Siqi suspiciously."

After hearing what Xu Yingying said, Li Siqi nodded with certainty.

"Sure." Li Siqi looked determined.

"Let me make this clear first. I have a good appetite. Don't complain if I eat too much."

Xu Yingying's saliva was almost flowing out. Although Mr. Li was not from the royal family, he was not short of money.

He actually offered to treat me to a meal, so I must seize this opportunity and make him spend more money.
