Marrying a Wife and Concubine Together: After Rebirth, I Remarried the Scumbag's Father on the

The squid stall owner said, "There are about two hundred skewers in total. He keeps owing me money and won't pay me. I really don't know what to do!"

Old Madam Qi was so shocked that she was trembling all over. She anxiously asked Qi Shibao, "Did you do this? Grandmother always gives you pocket money. Why are you buying on credit?"

Qi Shibao's eyes dodged, and he looked around and said something else: "Grandma, my wrist hurts so badly, you don't care?"

Even though Old Madam Qi felt sorry for her grandson, she had to find out whether he had bought anything on credit in front of everyone.

She interrupted angrily: "Qi Shibao, Grandmother wants to hear the truth from you. Did you buy anything on credit? Did you write those IOUs?"

Qi Shibao immediately cried and denied it: "No, he is just making false accusations against me. I don't like eating dirty things like grilled squid. Grandma, don't believe what he said!"

The squid stall owner was stunned. He had already produced the evidence, yet he still dared to deny it?

He is so shameless!

Madam Qi believed Qi Shibao's words. She strode up to the squid stall owner, slapped him hard in the face, and cursed, "How dare you blackmail our Qi Mansion? Don't you want to stay in Jingcheng anymore?"

This sentence, which was both threatening and scolding, immediately frightened the squid stall owner.

At this time, Madam Qi shouted in his ear with an unpleasant expression: "Tell me the truth, are you deliberately blackmailing and slandering my grandson?"

The threat in her tone was not concealed at all, as if she wanted to eat him alive.

The squid stall owner swallowed hard, he was truly shocked.

He is just an ordinary citizen, how could he offend the powerful?

Just when he was about to be forced to change his words, Lin Yiwan sneered, "Madam Qi, as a powerful lady, how can you be so aggressive and scare an ordinary citizen?"

Madam Qi argued, "I didn't scare him. I just wanted him to tell the truth. Maybe he forged the IOU."

Lin Yiwan asked, "The IOU can be forged, but what about the witness?"

As soon as she finished speaking, she pointed at her friends who supported Qi Shibao.

Seeing those young people, Old Madam Qi secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

She knew very well that those young men were Qi Shibao's lackeys. They would follow him wherever he went and would never betray him.

What is more important is that no matter how respected Lin Yiwan’s status is, she is still an outsider. As the saying goes, the county magistrate is not as good as the current manager. Her son is the internal affairs officer of Jingcheng. Who dares to mess with him?

Thinking of this, she sarcastically said, "Since Madam Hou has a witness, let him come forward and tell us whether my grandson is really arrogant and domineering outside and robbing people by force."

As soon as she finished speaking, she glanced coldly at the whole audience. She wanted to see which family dared to go against the Qi family?

The first to step forward was a young man in gray. He hung his head and said, "I can testify that Qi Shibao not only bought on credit from the squid stall owner, he even forced us to chip in the money so he could go to the cockfighting parlor!"

As he finished speaking, several other young men stood up and echoed him: "Yes, we also contributed money to him. Sometimes it was as little as five taels of silver, and sometimes it was as much as dozens of taels of silver!"

Old Madam Qi was almost furious. She never expected that these little brats would actually accuse her precious grandson.

Qi Shibao also shouted angrily: "What do you mean I stole it? You gave it to me voluntarily!"

Everyone retorted, "Yes, if we don't give it to you, you'll have people drown us in buckets of water, Qi Shibao, you're just bullying us!"

Qi Shibao was so frightened that his whole body was shaking. He bit his lips tightly and dared not say a word.

Lin Yiwan raised her eyes and looked at Madam Qi: "Madam, now that the evidence is irrefutable, do you still want to continue to quibble?"

Old Madam Qi's face turned pale and blue. At this point, she could only admit defeat.

She bit her back teeth hard and said, "I didn't teach the child well. It's all my fault. Now the girl from your Zhan Yi Marquis's mansion has also kicked him and injured him. His wound is still very swollen. I don't know if there will be any sequelae. I wonder if the Marquis' wife can handle this?"

Lin Yiwan frowned and said, "We at the Zhan Yihou Mansion may not pursue him, but he owes money to others, and you even beat up the squid stall owner without any reason. You must compensate for all of this!"

Madam Qi did not dare to hesitate and immediately took out fifty taels of silver and stuffed it into the hand of the squid stall owner.

Lin Yiwan slowly said, "Boss, my daughter hasn't had her grilled squid yet. You have to grill it on time so we can find it!"

The shopkeeper's face was immediately filled with gratitude. He understood very well that it was the Marquis's wife who was protecting him. As long as they wanted to go and eat, the Qi family would never retaliate against him secretly.

He saluted respectfully and said, "I obey your command. I will use the best grilled squid to entertain the distinguished guests from the Zhan Yihou Mansion!"

After hearing these words, a ferocious coldness flashed across Old Lady Qi's face.

She gritted her teeth, but didn't dare to say a word.

Lin Yiwan didn't stay in the Qi Mansion for long and took Zhan Qingning and Zi'er back directly.

When Old Madam Qi returned to the house, she immediately swept all the teacups on the table to the ground.

She roared in hatred: "That bitch is going too far!"

The old maid beside her advised: "Old Madam, calm down. I heard that the Wu family has prepared a welcoming banquet for Her Royal Highness the Princess and has already sent invitations to various mansions!"

Madam Qi frowned and looked at her: "Did you send it to us too?"

The old nanny nodded and said, "Yes, I originally wanted to prepare a generous gift. After all, they are noble people from the capital. But now it seems that they are acting so arrogantly. We don't need to give them face!"

Madam Qi snorted coldly: "Not only will I not give her face, I won't even allow anyone else to attend the banquet!"

Over the years, she has won the hearts of many people through her business in Jingcheng.

As long as she sends a word, the welcoming banquet at Commander Wu's residence will be empty.

Then let’s see how she, the princess and the marquis’ wife, can put her face!

Thinking of this, Madam Qi immediately made arrangements.

Soon, all the wealthy families in Jingcheng received the message sent by Madam Qi.

Mrs. Wu was still unaware of the situation until Wu Jin'er came to find her with a serious expression. Then she asked in disbelief, "What did you say? It's been so long since I sent out the invitation, and there's still no reply?"

Wu Jin'er said worriedly, "Mother, this is unusual. When we held banquets before, most of the mansions would respond within half an hour!"

Mrs. Wu gasped. Are those people crazy? The notice clearly stated that it was a welcoming banquet for the current princess, and they dared to neglect it?

She was silent for a moment and then quickly said, "Jin'er, go out and find out what big thing happened in Jingcheng today."
