The fat guy's head, which had been lowered dejectedly, suddenly raised up because of Chen Yuqing's words.

After all, she is the niece whom he has loved for so many years, and she still stands on her uncle's side at the critical moment.

Since his niece is on his side, does it mean that she has also condoned his behavior towards these two bitches?

Thinking of this, he instantly felt like he was injected with chicken blood and was full of energy again. The humiliation and fear he had experienced again and again today, especially the generous image he had painstakingly cultivated in front of his niece for so many years, completely disappeared after this incident.

He had lost so much, all thanks to the two women in front of him. If he didn't take this opportunity to get it back today, wouldn't the anger in his heart suffocate him to death?

Seeing the fat man's face suddenly turn into a face of smugness, Jin Chu suppressed his nausea and tried to comfort Hui Zhen beside him: "After all, they are family, and it's just that you and I are unlucky today. We don't have a relative who is also a prefect, so we have to bear the loss, right?"

Huizhen nodded. "Jin'er, you don't have to comfort me. This sudden disaster was caused by me. You are the most innocent one, and I have implicated you for nothing. It's all my fault for being stubborn. If I had known that fat guy was not a good person, I would have insisted on fighting him to the death. If I had known this, I wouldn't have even glanced at those earrings, no matter how beautiful they were."

Jin Chu smiled and stroked her hair. "As the saying goes: There's no medicine for regret in the world, and money can't buy earlier knowledge. If I had known this would be the result, I definitely wouldn't have let you into this Jin Yu Zhai."

"But we have to look forward. Since it has already happened, there's no point in regretting it! Just consider it a lesson learned. If we encounter similar things in the future, we should avoid them. We can't let a bad experience stop us from moving forward, right?"

Huizhen looked at Jinchu gratefully and sighed, "Jin'er, how great would it have been if I had known you two years earlier?"

"Two years ago, I was busy lamenting the passing of time and crying all day long! If you had known me then, you would definitely have disliked my appearance and wanted to stay away from me!"

Jin Chu changed the subject: "When you go back this time, remember to remind Brother Wang to work hard and become successful as soon as possible. Strive to be able to rely on him one day and experience the joy of being a tyrant!"

"Jin'er, you always make people laugh,"

Before Huizhen could finish her words, she heard the fat waiter shout at them, "Girls, the earring issue has now been resolved! You two have been so wantonly accusing me of raising the price just to get these earrings. Now you have to have an explanation, right?"

Jin Chu first glanced at the silent daughter of the prefect beside him, then met the fat waiter's gaze and said loudly: "Justice is in the hearts of the people! Since the people are biased, why should I waste my breath and say so much nonsense? In the end, you win!"

She paused, staring directly at the prefect's daughter. A cold glint flickered in her eyes, and a look of unconcealable scorn was on her face. After a long pause, she spoke word by word, "After all, we are two weak country girls. We can't possibly have such powerful relatives who would distort the truth, confuse right and wrong, and blindly bear false witness for us!"

As soon as the words fell, someone covered their mouth and laughed again.

These words were almost pointing fingers at the magistrate's daughter!

Chen Yuqing was so angry that her face turned ashen. Her hands were clenched tightly under her sleeves, and she didn't even feel her nails piercing into her flesh. She was so angry that she wanted to burst out, but she couldn't speak.

This sharp-tongued girl actually dared to blatantly insinuate herself at her expense. She really doesn't know her place!

"You wild girl, what nonsense are you talking about? My girl was kind enough to help you settle the lawsuit, but now that you are wrong, you still have the nerve to blame my girl? If you had behaved properly and not had those evil thoughts of taking advantage of others, how could you have ended up like this today? In the final analysis, you brought this humiliation upon yourselves, you deserve it!" The loyal maid Cai Qing jumped out and pointed at the two of them and scolded them.

"You are really taking advantage of your power and bullying others. You are so ungrateful! So what if she is the governor's daughter? Aren't you still protecting your own relatives?"

Huizhen rolled her eyes in disdain and pointed at the fat guy. "No wonder he acts so recklessly. It turns out it's all because of the people behind the scenes. It's true that the owner raises the same dog!"

"Shut up you little bitch!"

Chen Yuqing shouted this and was about to start cursing, but she saw Cai Qing next to her pulling her sleeve and winking towards the outside of the store. She suddenly came to her senses, and although her face was still ashen, she closed her mouth and said nothing more.

Jin Chu looked thoughtfully at the magistrate's daughter who had suddenly practiced silence, lowered his head and thought for a moment, then suddenly laughed. It seemed that this matter was not impossible to reverse.

She grabbed Huizhen, who was about to speak, and turned to everyone, saying, "Since we are settling the case in public today, it's natural for everyone to be aware of the details. The material of this earring is crucial evidence, and since it's physical evidence, it must be presented to everyone so they can see it clearly. Only then can we be fair and just!"

The fat waiter started to act rogue. "Ms. Chen has already checked and given you the answer, so that means the matter ends here! Now you want to review it again. Do you look down on the reputation of the prefect's daughter, or do you suspect that she is unfair? You are so bold! Do you think you can kick any cat or dog here? I won't show you today! What can you do to me?"

Jin Chu looked at his shameless appearance and smiled coldly: "Uncle, you are so good at singing, reciting, acting and playing, don't you know that even the most upright judge in the government has no right to hide the evidence from the public when he is judging a case? Do you really think that justice does not exist and you can allow someone to lie and confuse right and wrong? Or..."

She paused, her gaze fixed on the prefect's daughter. Their eyes met, sparks flying between them. Jin Chu slowly uttered a few more words, "Is someone giving false testimony?"

What she thought was, since she was destined to offend, she might as well offend him to the end!

But Chen Yuqing was saying in her heart: "You little bitch, I will remember you!"

The fat man was completely oblivious to the exchange of glances between the two of them. He was busy stuffing the jewelry box containing the earrings into his arms before shouting unscrupulously, "Don't even think about me taking it out on my own initiative! If you have the guts, just snatch it from me!"

"You are obviously cheating!" Seeing that the fat guy was unreasonable, everyone started to criticize him again.

At this moment, a young man in black came in from the door. He walked quickly to the magistrate's daughter and whispered something.

The arrogant young lady's expression suddenly changed. She raised her head and glared at Jin Chu with hatred. Then she stamped her feet unwillingly and said to everyone, "I was shortsighted this time. The material of the fish body is indeed water jade, not tourmaline. The waiter quoted a random price and bullied the two girls. Today, as a punishment, he will give these earrings to the two girls, and each girl can choose another piece of jewelry. The waiter will pay for both pieces in full!"

After she finished speaking, she didn't even look at the fat guy, but hurried out. When she passed by Jin Chu, she couldn't help but snorted. Cai Qing hurriedly caught up with the girl and disappeared in an instant.

The fat fellow was left lying on the ground, muttering to himself: "It's over, it's all over..."
