Farmer's wife: My husband came back and the house was in chaos

"It's Yao Qingnian's husband from Qingnian Food House. He is a lunatic. He also had people burn down Qianweilou. My lord, you must stand up for me. The restaurant we put so much effort into is destroyed just like that. They also hurt me so badly. They are simply lawless. If King Rui knew about this, he would never let them go." Shopkeeper Sun shouted. No one knew where this country girl and her husband came from, but they were so bold that they beat him like this and burned down Qianweilou. However, no matter where they came from, they were not as powerful as King Rui. They have been in Anding County for so many years, and no one has ever dared to provoke them. Now, they have offended King Rui, and they will suffer. Just wait and see, and they will take revenge when the time comes.

This matter was of great importance, and Zhao Chengfeng did not dare to act on his own, so he first secretly reported the matter to his superiors. After his superiors heard about it, they passed the matter to the ears of King Rui.

While waiting for a reply, Zhao Chengfeng followed the routine procedure and had Yao Qingnian and Lu Huaijin brought in for questioning.

"Yao Qingnian, Lu Huaijin, I called you here today because the owner of Qianweilou sued you for setting fire to Qianweilou and beating him to a pulp. Do you plead guilty?"

"Sir, even if you didn't come to call me, I was ready to come. I would also sue Manager Sun for hiring someone to kill me and for repeatedly sending people to my shop to frame me and disrupt the normal business of our shop." Yao Qingnian said calmly.

"You're talking nonsense. It was clearly your man who burned down our restaurant and beat me like this!" Shopkeeper Sun looked at Yao Qingnian and his wife with murderous intent. At this moment, he was lying on the ground, looking extremely embarrassed.

"You said my husband burned down your restaurant. Do you have any evidence or witnesses?" Yao Qingnian didn't expect this. She just wanted to see who was behind her kidnapping. After confirming the truth, she would go and settle the score with Qianweilou. Unexpectedly, when she woke up from her sleep, Lu Huaijin had done everything and even burned down Qianweilou. She was really surprised. This man was ruthless and didn't talk much. She liked him.

"I...there was no one else in the restaurant at the time, so how could I have any evidence?"

"You are making up stories without any evidence, sir. I will sue him for slandering us!"

"Wait, I have a witness, sir. It wasn't just me that day. My mistress Huahua was there too. She was there and can serve as a witness for me." Shopkeeper Sun suddenly remembered his woman, so he spoke.

After a while, Zhao Chengfeng had someone bring over Shopkeeper Sun's mistress: "Are you Shopkeeper Sun's mistress Huahua?"

"That's right, sir." Huahua, the mistress of Shopkeeper Sun, lowered her head and replied in a low voice.

"Were you there when Qianweilou caught fire? Did you see who set the fire and injured Manager Sun? Manager Sun said it was these two people. Take a look and see if you recognize these two people." Zhao Chengfeng continued to ask, and then asked her to identify Lu Huaijin and Yao Qingnian.

Huahua then raised her head and looked at Shopkeeper Sun lying on the ground, shrugging back in fear.

"Huahua, don't be afraid. I'm here with you, just tell me the truth." Shopkeeper Sun comforted her.

"I was there." Huahua nodded.

"Sir, listen, she said she was there." Huahua is his own person and will definitely help him. Her words are the evidence. Let's see how they can argue. However, he didn't feel proud for long because he was shocked by what Huahua said next.

"I was there, but, sir, the fire in Qianwei Tower was not started by them. It was caused by the dry weather. By the time we reacted, the fire was irreversible. So, the master took me out, but we ran into our enemies, who broke the master's hands and feet. I was scared and hid myself. I don't know what happened afterwards."

"Huahua, what nonsense are you talking about? It's obviously them..." Shopkeeper Sun didn't expect that the woman he doted on would talk nonsense seriously at the critical moment.

"Did you hear me? The fire started by ourselves. Stop slandering us. But you, because I refused to cooperate with you, you hired people to cause trouble in my shop and even kidnapped me. How should this matter be handled?" Yao Qingnian couldn't help but laugh secretly. Xuanfeng had already cleaned up all the traces of the fire and bribed the concubine of Manager Sun. Who asked him to put himself to death? These were just minor punishments.

"I didn't!" Seeing that the situation was not favorable, Shopkeeper Sun quickly denied it while enduring the pain.

"Sir, I have a witness!" Yao Qingnian looked down at him.

"Bring the people up." Zhao Chengfeng gave the order, and the men were brought up, as well as the servants around Manager Sun and the old woman who drugged the patient.

Without much effort, they all confessed everything at once. Manager Sun was so angry that his face turned blue. He didn't expect that the people around him would sell him out so easily one by one.

"Shopkeeper Sun, what else do you have to say? You saw that Yunlai Restaurant and Qingnian Food Court were doing well, and you got jealous and wanted to cooperate with them. When the cooperation failed, you turned around and accused them of burning down Qianwei Restaurant and killing you!"

"Sir, I..."

"Lock them all up first! Miss Yao, the truth has not yet been revealed, so please don't leave Anding County for the time being." Zhao Chengfeng felt that there were many suspicious points here, and things were going too smoothly, so he planned to wait for a reply from King Rui before deciding how to deal with it.

Yao Qingnian and the others nodded in agreement and left first.

Prince Rui’s Palace in the capital.

After receiving the news, Prince Rui was furious: "I clearly told the shopkeeper of Qianweilou not to cause trouble for Yao Qingnian again, but he took the initiative and sent people to cause trouble again and again. Not only did he kidnap people, but he also wanted to kill them to silence them! He deserves it! Fortunately, Miss Yao is fine, otherwise how would I explain to Old Duke Chen and the emperor!"

"Your Highness, what should we do now?" Nan Qing'er asked from the side.

"What can we do? Qianweilou has already burned down. Let's just consider it as compensation to Miss Yao."

King Rui had a gloomy expression and ordered someone to handle the matter.

Shopkeeper Sun was waiting expectantly, thinking that if King Rui got angry, he would definitely arrest those people and avenge him.

However, before he could wait for the news that Prince Rui was angry and wanted to arrest people, he was held accountable first. Prince Rui's people personally brought a letter saying that Manager Sun's poor performance led to the burning of Qianweilou, and he also privately went to cause trouble for Miss Yao, which was his own fault. Considering his many years of hard work and contributions to the restaurant, he would not be held accountable. Qianweilou would be closed in the future, and Manager Sun's position would be revoked. Manager Sun was completely dumbfounded.

Finally, the matter was left unresolved. Zhao Chengfeng followed the instructions of his superiors and announced to the public that Qianweilou was caused by a fire and due to poor management, it would be closed down completely.

Without the trouble caused by Qianweilou, Yunlai Restaurant and Qingnian Food House have finally stabilized and no longer have to worry about anyone causing trouble.
