Just when Li Yujiao wanted to step on him hard, Li Yu'e's voice suddenly came from outside the door: "Li Yujiao, come out!"

Only then did Jing Qishan finally let her go.

She breathed a sigh of relief, but he seemed to be unsatisfied, and the look in his eyes when he looked at her was full of a man's desire for a woman.

She was startled and pushed him away and ran away when he was not paying attention.

Wang, Wang Erhua, Jing Qizhi and Chun Ge were also awakened by Li Yu'e's thunderous roar.

Everybody came out.

As soon as Li Yujiao opened the door, Li Yu'e rushed in angrily. She was about to slap Li Yujiao in the face, but Li Yujiao grabbed her wrist in time and pushed her back.

Li Yu'e fell on the eldest brother of the Li family who was following behind.

She immediately started crying to her eldest brother: "Brother, look at this Li Yujiao bullying me, she almost burned my signboard!"

Under the illumination of torches and lanterns, Brother Li looked at Li Yujiao angrily: "Li Yujiao, our Li family has raised you for more than ten years. Now we have finally found our lost sister, but you want to burn her sign. You really have ulterior motives!

Since when did you become such a person? You are so ungrateful! "

Li Yujiao found it funny: "First, I didn't burn her sign. Second, if you find my sister, then take good care of her. What does it have to do with me? Why are you blaming me?"

They are raising the original owner, what does it have to do with her?

Li Yu'e cried even louder: "The sign of my shop was covered with kerosene. Who else could it be but you? In the whole Yong'an Town, you are the only one who is against me. You are jealous that my restaurant is bigger than your shop, and you want me to get out of Yong'an Town!"

Li Yujiao said coldly: "You are just making up a false accusation!"

Wang was also helping Li Yujiao: "Little bitch... Li Yu'e, don't slander us with empty words. We were all asleep and no one went out. Which eye of yours saw us burn your signboard?"

Wang Erhua also said: "It's obvious that you want to steal our sister Jiao's man, so you put on such a show, right? You said we burned your sign? But your sign was fine, wasn't it? Where was it burned?"

Li Yu'e said angrily, "Fortunately, she was not burned. If she was, I would ask my father to find the county magistrate. My father and the county magistrate are friends. He would beat her with fifty sticks, lock you up, torture you in jail for days and nights, and then peel off a layer of your skin!"

Jing Qizhi said: "But we really didn't do it, you, you can't blame us!"

Li Yu'e said: "If I say you did it, you did it. If the county magistrate says you did it, you did it!"

Li Yujiao suddenly felt a chill on her back.

The smooth sailing of the past few months almost made her forget that this was the ancient times with clear class divisions and feudalism. If the common people at the bottom offended the powerful, they would only be exploited!

Otherwise, why in Dream of the Red Chamber, after Xue Fan killed someone, he was able to escape to the capital with his beauty?

With her current strength, it is indeed not advisable for her to offend rich and powerful people.

Otherwise, even if it is white, it can be slandered as white by them!

She suddenly understood why Jing Qishan shot that arrow.

He was indeed thinking about her. After all, he was no longer a powerful official, but just an ordinary citizen. He could not arrest and kill anyone.

Perhaps Li Yu'e was too outspoken, so Brother Li quickly covered her mouth: "Sister E, don't talk nonsense. The county magistrate is not that kind of person. If these words get to him, he will blame our father! Besides, isn't the signboard burned? We can just go back and clean it up ourselves."

When Brother Li dragged Li Yu'e away, Li Yu'e turned back and looked at Li Yujiao angrily: "Don't be so complacent, I will find out the bad things you have done sooner or later!"

Li Yujiao looked at her coldly.

People dispersed and the street became quiet again.

When Wang returned to her room, she was still muttering angrily: "These rich ladies are just messing around, trying to slander people without any evidence. Do they think that we ordinary people are monkeys for them to play with? It's so unfair!"

Wang Erhua also said: "That's right, they don't even give people a chance to survive."

Li Yujiao returned to the attic silently, followed by Jing Qishan.

She now believed that Jing Qishan was thinking about her, and when she thought of the kiss just now, she couldn't help feeling embarrassed.

So she quickly entered the house and closed the door behind her before he could catch up with her.

After entering the house, she buried herself in the quilt.

It was also strange. When he kissed her, she didn't feel anything, but now when she closed her eyes, her mind was full of that cool and moist kiss.

She touched her lips and there seemed to be a trace of pain there.

My first kiss was taken away by a treacherous minister!

……

The next day.

Young Master Chen actually showed up!

The business of the family is still in full swing, but the noodle shop is deserted.

Young Master Chen asked, "Hey, you don't have any guests here!"

How can a bowl of hot and sour noodles cost eight cents to compete with the all-you-can-eat ten cents? What's more, there are meat and vegetables.

Li Yujiao and others were all there. Seeing him coming, they had not yet completely fallen out with each other, so Li Yujiao still asked Jing Qizhi to pour him a glass of water.

Young Master Chen complained, "You guys are so patient. No one has come to my restaurant to eat recently. I have even fired several waiters!"

Wang on the side couldn't help but feel fortunate: Fortunately, she turned against them in the first place, otherwise she, the newcomer, would definitely be fired now!

Young Master Chen said, "You guys are so calm. There is no business. How can you just sit here and do nothing? Are you waiting to eat up all the money?"

Li Yujiao said to Young Master Chen: "Even if there is no business, you can't burn their signboard. I heard that their family has a good background and has a good relationship with the county magistrate. You will be in trouble when the time comes!"

"We can't leave them no chance to survive, right? Why don't we cooperate and defeat them as well?" Young Master Chen suggested.

Jing Qishan sneered, "How can we cooperate? The only idea you can think of is not to burn the sign in the middle of the night? Or to rob their ingredients midway. What a despicable trick!"

Mr. Chen: ...

Indeed, these were the only solutions he could think of.

Li Yujiao said: "We don't need to do anything, we just need to keep our footing."

Chen Shaodong asked anxiously, "You did nothing but hold your ground, and the opponent collapsed for no reason?"

Li Yujiao smiled and said, "Yes, that's it. If you don't believe me, let's wait and see!"

……

Fengcheng Restaurant.

Li Yu'e couldn't help but feel complacent when she saw the endless stream of customers coming to her place every day.

Oh, so what if she grew up in the countryside? Now she is rich and can make everyone crazy about her!

She felt disgusted when she saw how miserable these people were, as they had their stomachs burst just to have a meal.

She enjoyed this feeling very much.

However, this matter made Mr. Li and his brothers very worried.

When everyone came back in the evening and checked the account books, they were all overwhelmed.

Mr. Li, who was in charge of the family's account books, shouted in panic: "The restaurant has been open for ten days, and we have already lost thousands of taels of silver!"
