The younger sister-in-law falsely accused the sickly uncle and ran away with the baby

Yu Ruyue followed the line of sight and saw the shopkeeper Wen Mowen.

The leading guard was full of disdain. "Who do you think you are? Are you also a spy from the enemy country? Brothers, take him down for me. I despise people who have a little money but don't know how high the sky is and how deep the earth is."

Wen Mo glanced at him coldly without saying a word. The guard beside him looked at the guard fiercely, "How dare you! Open your dog eyes and see, this is Shopkeeper Wen of Tianfulou!"

The officers immediately became intimidated upon hearing this. "What? This is the magistrate's brother-in-law?"

Wen Mo dismounted, took two steps at a time, and fiercely kicked the man who had just spoken harshly. "Open your eyes and see if I am a spy from the enemy country."

The man quickly knelt down and kowtowed, "Manager Wen, I'm truly sorry. It's our fault for not recognizing you!"

Wen Mo kicked the man twice, then quickly walked towards Yu Ruyue and said apologetically, "I'm late. I hope you're not scared, little girl?"

Yu Ruyue hadn't expected Shopkeeper Wen to have such a background. She smiled and said, "We just arrived at the city gate and without saying a word, we were mistaken for spies from the enemy country and were even threatened with death. I'm a little scared."

Wen Mo raised his foot again and fiercely kicked the officers guarding the city gate, "You bastards, apologize to Boss Yu right now!"

The guards tumbled to their knees at Yu Ruyue and Qin Haowen's feet, apologizing profusely. "Boss Yu, we're so sorry. We were blind to your presence. We kowtow to you. Please take back these five taels of silver! The entrance fee shouldn't be that much!"

Yu Ruyue looked at the guard in front of her who was trembling and kowtowing continuously. She didn't feel happy at all, only sad.

She didn't want to look any further, so she simply picked up the things on the ground, then left with Wen Mo in the carriage.

When she arrived at Tianfulou, Yu Ruyue was stunned by the luxurious and spectacular decoration.

You have to know that this was in ancient times, and the Tianfulou was actually five stories high. It was so complicated, like an exquisite ink painting!

Even the two stone lions placed at the door were twice as tall as Yu Ruyue!

When Yu Ruyue entered, she was so shocked that she kept her mouth open.

When she followed Shopkeeper Wen to the third floor, walked to the innermost part and opened the door, she saw a screen with excellent embroidery. When she walked around the screen, she saw a very large coral placed in the center, and even several night pearls were placed in the inconspicuous corner next to it.

Yu Ruyue felt like Granny Liu entering the Grand View Garden. No wonder she spent several thousand taels to buy a house without blinking an eye last time. She really has the financial resources!

Wen Mo poured Yu Ruyue a cup of tea before saying, "You sent someone to tell me there's business to discuss. I don't know what kind of business it is, but why did you ask you to come in person?"

Yu Ruyue finally came to her senses and said a little embarrassedly, "I'm really sorry for causing you trouble just now. I didn't expect that entering the city would be so difficult."

Wen Mo smiled and said, "There's nothing we can do! The emperor is incompetent, so naturally the people below him will follow suit. The situation in Liuzhou Prefecture is considered good."

Yu Ruyue was a little shocked that he didn't expect her to speak so bluntly.

Wen Mo remained calm, picked up the teacup, took a sip, and continued, "You don't have to look at me like that. The emperor is incompetent, and everyone in the world should know that."

"He killed many loyal ministers and generals, and now the only ones left in the court are a bunch of parasites! This country will be destroyed sooner or later!"

Yu Ruyue gasped in surprise. She quickly whispered, "Just keep it to yourself. Stop talking about it. Be careful, there are ears."

Wen Mo smiled and raised an eyebrow, "You are quite interesting, little girl. The expression on your face just now clearly showed that you really wanted me to continue. How dare I speak and you dare not listen!?"

Yu Ruyue hadn't expected Wen Mo to see through her thoughts so clearly. "I really want to understand the current situation so I can make some preparations sooner, but I didn't expect you to be so blunt and so loud. If anyone hears us, our lives will be in danger."

Wen Mo looked at her deeply and did not continue the previous topic. "Hurry up and take out the things! I want to see what good things are worth you coming here in person."

Yu Ruyue immediately took the bag from Qin Haowen's hand, revealing the white noodles inside.

"This thing is called dried noodles, which come in wide and thin varieties. It's very easy to make. Just boil water, put the noodles in, and once they're cooked, you can enjoy them with various stews."

Wen Mo was a little disappointed. "I thought it was something good, but it's just noodles!? Why not just eat hand-rolled noodles?"

Yu Ruyue quickly shook her head. "This isn't just any ordinary noodle. The texture is just like hand-rolled noodles, but it's more convenient. Just put it in and it'll be ready in a moment. This dried noodle can be stored for a long time!"

Yu Ruyue took out a bunch of them and said, "Even though this looks like a small amount, this is enough for a grown man to eat."

Wen Mo was a little surprised, "That's all? I'm not kidding."

Yu Ruyue smiled and shook her head. "How about we go to the kitchen and try it together!"

Wen Mo nodded, and the two walked to the kitchen together. There was boiling water in it. Yu Ruyue put the noodles in directly, stirred them, and they were cooked soon.

Wen Mo felt like he didn't even blink!

That small handful of noodles turned out to be so much after cooking! ?

Wen Mo took a sip with some disbelief, and his eyes suddenly lit up, "It actually tastes just like handmade ones! It's even more uniform in thickness."

Yu Ruyue smiled and nodded, then took out a piece of instant noodles and put it in a large bowl. Under everyone's surprised gaze, she added water, poured in some seasonings and dried vegetables, and then found another bowl to cover it.

Wen Mo was puzzled, "What was that curved thing just now?"

Yu Ruyue explained with a smile, "That thing is called instant noodles. It's more convenient and quicker than dried noodles."

"Just soak it in hot water for a while and you can eat it."

Wen Mo didn't believe it at all, but when Yu Ruyue took away the bowl and stirred it with chopsticks, the aroma suddenly filled his nose. He took the chopsticks with some suspicion and took a bite. The noodles were very smooth, rich in flavor, and he could taste the aroma of oil.

Moreover, he clearly didn't see Yu Ruyue add any extra dishes, but there were chopped green onions and carrots in the dish, which made him eat them one bite after another. In the end, there was not even any soup left and he ate them all.

Wen Mo really didn't expect that these two seemingly ordinary things could be so delicious and unique.

Yu Ruyue smiled and said, "If you want to eat a bowl of hot noodles on a long journey, wouldn't it be inconvenient? But if you have dried noodles or instant noodles, as long as there is hot water, you can eat it quickly."

"Just like my cousin and I, we boil some water on the road and make a bowl of instant noodles. It takes less than half a cup of tea to eat hot noodles! It's fast and safe!"

"Bringing these noodles to visit relatives during the Spring Festival will give you face."

"I know that the owner behind Shopkeeper Wen is very powerful. I believe he runs more than just a restaurant!"

Wen Mo savored it carefully and laughed, "You little girl have a big appetite. You actually want to cooperate with the boss behind me."
