Time travel: Are you as professional as him in eating dog food?

"I...I didn't...really"

Seeing everyone leaving her one by one, Mother Liu was in a panic and tried to explain.

"Tsk tsk tsk~" Wen Baixu waved his hand and looked at Mother Liu, then turned to look at Qiuyu, "Sister, I remember very clearly that in recent years, due to the floods, the country is not very wealthy, and it also donated money for disaster relief. The first to bear the brunt is the Imperial Master's Mansion..."

He said with a well-behaved look at Qiu Yu

Qiuyu nodded, while Qiuyu beside him said loudly: "Yes, Master will be the first to donate money and materials. If His Majesty had not refused again and again, Master would have donated all the rewards given by His Majesty."

After saying that, he rolled his eyes in anger and looked at Mrs. Liu in the crowd.

Mother Liu trembled instantly, her old hands trembling like sieves, her old face as pale as paper.

"Ah! That's strange. How could these things appear here? Even if they were in the mansion, shouldn't they be in the warehouse? Why did they appear in a place where they shouldn't be? What do you think, Steward?"

Wen Baixu took eight-way steps and moved to the side of a short man, slapping him on the shoulder.

The man was short to begin with, and after being slapped like this, his shaking body was suddenly slapped to the ground, but he just remained silent.

Looking at the man on the ground, the young man smiled and continued, "It doesn't matter. If the person in charge doesn't say anything, I will take it as your acquiescence. It was you who stole the property and that's why you got these things."

After saying this loudly, he gave way and stared at the person on the ground.

“No…No, it’s…”

The man's eyes kept glancing at the woman in the crowd, and the woman was getting anxious. She rushed over and tried to tear him apart.

Wen Baixu saw the person sitting on the ground. Although he fought back a few times, he didn't hit her hard, just gently pushed her a few times. The old woman seemed to want him to admit it, and she stared at him relentlessly...

Wen Baixu understood what was going on, so he walked forward and pretended to be a good guy, pulling the two apart, saying, "Why are you fighting? If you can't separate them, then don't try to separate them. Let's report it to the police, and they will find out everything when they investigate. But..."

The young man lowered his head in embarrassment, not knowing what he was thinking.

"What is it? I think it's great. At least we can find out the pests that are endangering the mansion."

Qiuyu was filled with righteous indignation when she heard this, raising her hands

But not many people responded to her words. Most people just watched from the sidelines like they were watching a good show. They didn't seem to care who it was.

Seeing this, the young man rubbed his hands secretly, looked around with an embarrassed look on his face, and said to the two people who were fighting, "Alas~ It seems that you are unwilling to tell us, so let's report it to the police."

As he spoke, he looked at Qiu Yu, but his lips moved slightly.

Qiu Yu seemed to understand what he said, and walked up slowly, shook her head and said, "Report to the authorities? It is indeed a good idea, but... if we really report to the authorities, the matter will definitely reach the ears of His Majesty and His Majesty. Although the real culprit can be caught by then, it will take a long time. If His Majesty doesn't say anything, His Majesty will not be able to reply. What if His Majesty gets angry and implicates everyone in the mansion? I heard that if he is beheaded, it will be fine, but if he is exiled, the mountains are high and the roads are long. I don't know if the people in the mansion... Alas~"

He looked at the people around him with worry, but the worry in his eyes didn't seem to be acting.

Everyone was shocked when they heard this. Some of the older mothers and maids showed fear on their faces. Combined with what the young man said before and the current fighting attitude of the two, they already understood.

Many people stood up to accuse Liu's mother, and many asked her to admit it quickly.

Mother Liu was completely panicked at this time, and had to swallow the words that were about to come out of her mouth. The man whose clothes she pulled also stood up and knelt on the ground, kowtowing repeatedly.

"Please spare me, young lady, please spare me. I was bewitched by this shrew and had no choice but to collude with her. She said... she said these were given to her by the queen, and she also asked me to put them in the storehouse and wait for the next day..."

Before the man could finish his words, he felt a kick and rolled to the side.

Mother Liu was trembling all over at this time, and her lips kept shaking, "You shameless old man, it was you who insisted on getting close to me, it was you who bit me..."

A slapping sound interrupted Mother Liu's words. The boy clapped his hands, looked at the woman in front of him, patted his clothes and said,

"I'm not too interested in your affairs. Judging from your expression, you should know these things, so I don't need to say more. Now it's like this. Madam Liu's behavior almost implicated the whole family. Fortunately, the housekeeper turned over a new leaf and reported the matter, which made the truth come to light. I would like to thank the housekeeper for his noble act."

After saying that, he bowed to the man sitting on the ground, and then threw a sentence to the woman, "Mother Liu, you must not just be angry now, you must also take care of your body and how to defend yourself in court and in front of the queen. Was it you who took it secretly, or was it the queen's instruction..."

After saying this, the boy walked straight to the kitchen, not caring about the eyes of the people around him.

The person behind him raised his lips slightly, walked slowly to the middle, and said in a gentle tone: "This matter ends here. Since the real murderer has been arrested, there is nothing to say. Everyone should do their own things. The butler will be a witness and will go to court together, so I will take over his job temporarily. When the matter is over, we will make other arrangements. Everyone should take this as a warning and never..."

Qiuyu paused for a moment, and everyone around him lowered their heads and listened to the lecture. Seeing this, Qiuyu said nothing more. He waved his hand and asked everyone to go down. He also took Master Niu, who was having an affair with the woman in the kitchen, as well as the housekeeper and Mother Liu down to take care of them. Then he hurriedly walked into the house.

In the kitchen, the boy stood in front of a pile of ingredients, feeling a bit confused and scratching the back of his head. Qiu Yu saw this and took a step forward. Just as he was about to speak, he saw the boy pick out a piece of meat from the ingredients as if he had discovered a new continent, touched it, and then took it to the bucket to wash it, and then put it on the chopping board and started cutting it.

"What are you doing? Can you cook?"

Qiuyu, who was behind Qiuyu, had just walked into the kitchen. The smell of kitchen fumes and the smell of oil mills made her frown and cover her nose.

Wen Baixu shook his head and said, "Not really, but it should be enough to fill my stomach."

Qiu Yu looked displeased as she watched him cut a piece of meat into strips. Then she brought some seasonings such as onion, ginger, vinegar, and sugar, and soaked the meat strips in them. She also brought some ground chili powder and waited for a while before she walked out of the kitchen with the bowl.

"What are you doing? The kitchen is here, why are you going out?"

Qiuyu looked at him puzzledly

Wen Baixu smiled mysteriously when he heard this, and did not answer her. Instead, he said to Qiuyu: "Sister, can you find some long and thin bamboo sticks? Can you help me find a few?"

Qiu Yu nodded, without asking too many questions, but said a few words to the person beside him, and followed the boy out.

Qiuyu, who was behind her, shouted in confusion and ran towards the two of them.
