Deng Shaoyao said, "Sister, he's a scoundrel. Once you get caught up in him, you can't get rid of him."

The maid Qingying said, "I've been trafficked since I was a child. What kind of rogues haven't I seen? For example, my father is also one of those people. I couldn't protect myself before, but now I can protect you."

After she finished speaking, she told the driver outside: "Uncle Li, drive slower and let the person behind catch up."

"Row."

Deng Gui chased all the way, panting. He kept calling out to Deng Shaoyao in the carriage ahead until his voice became hoarse, but the person inside did not show up.

"You little bitch, wait until I catch you... Ouch... I'm so tired..."

Deng Gui was exhausted, but the carriage kept moving ahead at a leisurely pace. Every time he wanted to give up, it would slow down. When he tried to catch up, it would start running again, making it impossible for him to catch up.

Deng Shaoyao hid in the carriage and watched the situation behind, giggling.

Seeing her so happy, Qingying said, "Isn't it refreshing?"

Deng Shaoyao nodded repeatedly. "For so many years, my sisters and I have been bullied by him. We didn't dare to resist because we weren't boys and my mother couldn't give birth to a boy. Seeing him in so much pain today, I suddenly felt that he wasn't as powerful as I thought. If we had resisted earlier, maybe my two sisters wouldn't have been sold. Sister Qingying, thank you."

"That's totally different from what I've seen before." Qingying said, "I'll give him a big gift later."

The carriage stopped at Qingyue Restaurant.

"Sister Qingying, aren't we going out of the house to buy cakes for the young master?"

"Qingyue Restaurant has a new dish that tastes sweet. Let's buy some and let the young master try it. He's sure to like it."

Deng Gui caught up and saw the carriage stopped at Qingyue Restaurant, and Deng Shaoyao also entered the restaurant.

He looked at the restaurant sign and cursed, "This bitch, she made money but didn't know how to honor her father. Instead, she comes to a place like this to eat and drink lavishly. If I hadn't come to see this, she would have ruined this family."

Deng Gui strode into the restaurant.

He felt a little guilty at first, but when the guy at the door didn't stop him, he immediately straightened his back and chest.

"Sir, how many people are there?"

"I'm here to look for my daughter. She just came into your restaurant. My daughter works for the county government."

"It turns out to be the official from the county government. Please come upstairs..."

Deng Gui suddenly became even more proud.

It turns out that he is an official.

If he had known that his daughter would be so impressive after entering the county government office, he would have sent her in earlier. Not only her, but also the two money-losing guys in front of him.

Deng Gui asked, "Which wing did my daughter go to?"

"Mudanzhai."

Deng Gui swaggered upstairs and entered the Mudanzhai.

"Guest, what would you like to order?"

Deng Gui originally wanted to ask why he didn’t see Deng Shaoyao, but when the waiter asked this, he immediately stopped looking for anyone and started ordering dishes.

Anyway, this is the only way to go downstairs. Deng Shaoyao didn't go downstairs, so she must still be upstairs. After he ordered the dishes, he asked Deng Shaoyao to come over to pay the bill.

"What are your signature dishes? How about this, give me one portion of all your signature dishes."

In the next room, Deng Shaoyao was anxious and angry when she heard Deng Gui ordered the signature dish of Qingyue Restaurant.

Qingying drank her tea and said, "What's the rush?"

"Sister Qingying, the signature dishes at Qingyue Restaurant are not cheap. If he orders so carelessly, it will cost him at least thirty taels of silver."

"You are not asked to leave, so why do you care about him?"

"He has no money. After he finishes eating and drinking like this, he still has to ask me to pay."

"He won't have a chance to find you." Qingying said, "The owner of Qingyue Restaurant is surnamed Xia. She has a maid named Shuhui, who is my sworn sister. I often come to the restaurant to look for her, and everyone in the restaurant gives me face. I have already told you just now, just watch the show."

Deng Shaoyao patted her chest and said, "I was so scared! I thought I was asked to pay the money! But, Sister Qingying is actually Sister Shuhui's sister. My cousin is in business with Miss Xia, and I met Sister Shuhui when I went to see my cousin."

"Why else do you think I should protect you?" Qingying said, "You just entered the mansion, and you act like a little fool, always confused about what to say and what not to say. I didn't want to bother with you, but when Shuhui mentioned that your cousin and her master are friends, I realized that since they are family, I will protect you, little fool."

Only then did Deng Shaoyao realize that she could live such a comfortable life in the county government office thanks to her cousin Qin.

The food next door has already started being served.

Deng Shaoyao listened to the sound of Deng Gui eating and drinking, and a look of disgust flashed in her eyes.

If Deng Gui had any brains, he would have known that this meal was not that delicious. However, Deng Gui had no brains at all.

The waiter came in and brought delicious food to the table.

Qingying said, "Don't worry about the people next door, come and have something to eat."

Deng Shaoyao came over, looked at the delicious food on the table, and asked, "Sister, are we going to eat such delicious food?"

"I invite you to eat."

"That's not what I meant." Deng Shaoyao blushed.

"This is Sister Shuhui's honor, and I don't have to pay, so eat!"

Deng Shaoyao was a little restrained, but when she saw Qingying constantly picking up food for her, she slowly relaxed.

Qingyue Restaurant was indeed the most luxurious restaurant in the area, and every dish was exquisite. However, Deng Shaoyao still felt that Cousin Qin's cooking skills were better.

The people next door have almost finished their meal.

Deng Gui stood up and was about to go out, but was stopped by the waiter.

"Sir, the total is forty-five taels of silver."

Deng Gui muttered loudly: "So expensive?"

"Sir, this is Qingyue Restaurant, the largest restaurant in the city. We are honest and trustworthy, and there is absolutely no fraud or deception." The waiter said good-temperedly.

"That's too expensive." Deng Gui muttered, then added, "Let my daughter pay for it. My daughter works at the county government office, she has money."

"Excuse me, sir. Even if the county magistrate is here, you still have to pay before you can leave. There are so many people working in the county yamen. My second aunt is still working there, pouring incense. I haven't spread the word that I have a relative working there and then go around eating and freeing food."

"My daughter is the county magistrate's maid."

"I thought it was someone else, but it's a maid. There are at least fifty maids in the county government office, if not a hundred. If all of them were to come out and swindle people, we wouldn't be able to do business anymore."

"It's not that I won't give it to you, I just ask my daughter to give it to you."

"Guest, those who dine and eat for free will find all sorts of excuses to slip away. I've seen this many times. Now I'll ask you one last time. Will you pay me or not?"

Several strong men came in from the door, lined up in a row, and looked at Deng Gui murderously.

Deng Gui made a bitter face and begged humbly, "I will give it to you, I will definitely give it to you, but I don't have any money. You can ask my daughter for money. How about I wait here and you go find my daughter?"

"Boss, someone is eating and dashing." The waiter shouted downstairs.
