Transformed into a furry person, I am doing public relations in the Northern Song Dynasty

“Please understand that although Yu Lian is a little willful, she is definitely not a bad person and would never do anything to hurt or kill anyone.

Today, my daughter was confused and caused trouble to you all. I withdraw the lawsuit on my daughter's behalf. Let us solve these family matters behind closed doors."

Yu Lian finally found someone she could rely on, and she couldn't help but throw herself into her Liu Lang's arms and cry.

"Liu Lang, if you don't come, my child and I will be forced to death. Look at the beautiful girl you gave birth to, she keeps saying slanderous words, she just wants me dead!"

Liu Chenggong felt very sorry for Yu Lian. He hugged her with heartache and looked at Liu Yunqing beside him as if he was an enemy.

"I, Liu Chenggong, don't have such an unfilial daughter! I told you to get married early but you refused. You dared to show up in public even though your reputation was ruined. The bookstore has brought bad luck to you. You dared to jump into the river after hearing a few words from you!"

"Now it's all over. This family was torn apart because of you. You are a jinx!"

Liu Yunqing did not argue or dispute, but just knelt quietly holding his small cloth bag.

Many people couldn't bear to see her until she spoke up.

Liu Chenggong was about to point at her nose and scold her again, when suddenly a book flew out of the air and hit him on the back of the head.

"You old bastard! How can you be qualified to lecture a girl in public when you have such bad personal ethics? I am a gentleman, but even if a god came here today, I would scold you, Shopkeeper Liu!"

"Let's not talk about other things. I was in your bookstore the day Madam Liu jumped into the river. I saw it clearly. Madam Liu had just stepped into the bookstore when you called her unlucky and beat her with a broom. It wasn't enough to just beat her. You even kept telling her to die!"

"You said that Madam Liu had brought shame upon you and that you wanted her to jump into the Bian River so that you could have peace. Madam Liu did it, which was a filial act. But now you are using this to scold her. You really have a big face!"

Liu Yunqing turned his head and saw that it was a regular customer of the store, an old scholar who taught in the south of the city.

The old scholar was very pedantic. He even told her that most of the women who worked outside doing business were married women who had to resort to such desperate measures because they could not make ends meet. She came from a well-off family and was young, so she should learn more about needlework at home.

She was still upset at that time, and she didn't expect that it was this old scholar who spoke fair words for her.

"That's right! You, Shopkeeper Liu, have the confidence to drink and have mistresses outside, and it's all because of your wife's ability!"

This time it was Aunt Cao who spoke. She probably heard that she was taken to court and had no time to take care of her business, so she came here.

"Everyone in the neighborhood knows that twenty years ago you were neither high nor low, and your father gave you a name that was wasted. You thought you were great just knowing a few characters, but you still have to rely on your blind mother to do embroidery to support you."

"If it weren't for your father marrying Qi and using his own money and dowry to open a bookstore, you'd be nothing! You don't have any business skills, but it was the lady who managed the bookstore at a young age and even opened a second one."

"Bah! You are so shameless and thick-skinned that you always take all the credit for yourself. I'll teach you a lesson!"

"Our matchmaker is all thanks to the care of Shopkeeper Liu!"

As soon as the madam of the brothel in Xiaotianshui Lane spoke, even more people laughed and mocked her.

Everyone talked one after another and revealed a lot of things about Liu Chenggong. The magistrate listened carefully, trying to catch some clues from their words.

Who would have thought that he would glance outside inadvertently and suddenly stand up and salute outside.

"Why is Mr. Zhao here? Is this matter deeply involved?"

Following the judge's gaze, the people in the hall saw a young man standing in the corner who was hard to ignore.

Isn’t it Mr. Zhao, Zhao Chengyan!

Even though the common people had never seen Mr. Zhao, they had heard of his good deeds and reputation, so they greeted him one after another, and those who were close to him also took a few steps back.

Just getting close to such a godly figure made my heart pounding and I felt increasingly inferior.

After making eye contact with Madam Liu, who had her eyes wide open, Zhao Chengyan put away his folding fan and walked forward with a smile on his face.

"Don't be alarmed, my lords. I was just passing by. When I went out just now, I saw the excitement among the crowd, so I couldn't help but come over to take a look."

Zhao Chengyan was somewhat curious about what had happened to Madam Liu, but he did not come here just out of curiosity.

There were too many people in front of the Kaifeng Mansion, blocking the road tightly. He couldn't move forward in the carriage, so he had to ask Mao'er to go to the Runan County Prince's Mansion to inform them first.

Every time he met Madam Lu in the past, it was just a routine matter. The brothers in the mansion didn't like him very much, so why bother to squeeze in and annoy them?

I have a ready-made excuse and I'll see what tricks Madam Liu comes up with.

Lord Zhang had been promoted three times by the Grand Tutor, Duke Deng, and Zhao Chengyan was also a student of Duke Deng, so naturally the two had a close relationship.

"Cheng Yan, take your seat quickly!"

Zhao Chengyan knew his own limitations, so he would never go forward to replace Lord Zhang. He smiled and refused, then stood beside Madam Liu.

"My Lord, just think that I am here to ask for a cup of tea. Please don't delay the trial because of me."

Seeing this, Mr. Zhang said nothing more and continued to ask questions.

The bailiff brought a royal chair to Zhao Chengyan, who sat down without hesitation.

The position was good; he could see the top of Madam Liu's head by lowering his head. He opened his folding fan to half cover his thin lips, and his cold voice reached Liu Yunqing's ears.

"Why didn't Madam Liu dare to look at me? I forgot to ask, was the flower dumplings in my house delicious that day?"

This malicious guy obviously recognized her as Qi Erlang who came to visit, and he actually sat down and made fun of her!

Liu Yunqing could no longer maintain his calm appearance, his ears turned red, and he replied in a low voice.

"I didn't intentionally hide my identity that day. For the sake of my poor condition, please forgive me, Mr. Zhao."

Mr. Zhao pursed his lips and smiled, tilting his head slightly to look at her face.

Fortunately, I just felt smelly and not as pitiful as before.

Seeing that Mr. Zhao didn't respond, Liu Yunqing couldn't understand why he joined in the fun. Logically speaking, this man was not a very enthusiastic person, at least not towards others.

Who would have thought that when she turned her head, she would meet the smiling fox eyes of Mr. Zhao, who was staring at her intently.

Liu Yunqing quickly turned his eyes away, feeling tingled all over by his gaze.

Well, he knew why this man came here.

He was just plain bored and didn't want to see his biological mother, so he came to her place to kill time!

No one noticed the two people's private actions, and the judge in the court questioned Liu Chenggong again.

Madam Liu's lawsuit against Yu Lian has come to an end, but Liu Chenggong obviously has problems in his business.

Every year, commercial taxes alone account for half of the national treasury, and the court cracks down very severely on tax evasion. Liu Chenggong wanted to get this hurdle, but he had to get the account book to make things clear.

The gentlemen wanted to check his accounts, but Liu Chenggong did not panic. He quickly instructed the clerk who came with him to go to the bookstore and bring the account books for nearly half a year for the gentlemen to review.
