After Qu Jingyao said goodbye to Wanniang, she took Baiguo out of the embroidery workshop and saw the village head uncle driving an ox cart towards them.

"Yao girl, your brother hasn't come back yet?"

Xu Lizheng didn't see Qu Qingchen, so he asked.

Qu Jingyao frowned and shook her head slightly, then asked the village head uncle which restaurant he was going to.

Xu Lizheng pointed in the direction of South Street. There were only two restaurants in Ruyang City, both on South Street.

"Uncle headman, please wait for us at the city gate for a while. I'm going to look for my brother." After she finished speaking, she took Baiguo and quickly ran towards the restaurant on South Street.

At this time, the door of Zuichunxuan was surrounded by a crowd, and in the middle of the crowd, Qu Qingchen was arguing with the shopkeeper.

Qu Jingyao saw it from afar, and anxiously ran forward to squeeze into the crowd. Bai Guo carefully protected her, fearing that something might happen.

"Brother, what's wrong?"

Qu Jingyao's voice successfully attracted everyone's attention. Seeing the obscene look of Shopkeeper Wu, Qu Qingchen hurriedly stopped his sister, with a cold light flashing in his eyes.

He tilted his head slightly and asked why his sister was here.

"The village head and my sister saw you and came here worried about you. What happened, brother? Did they give you any trouble?"

A cold light flashed in Qu Jingyao's eyes, and it shot towards the chubby manager Wu in front of the restaurant and the lackeys beside him.

Shopkeeper Wu rubbed his chin with his hands, and his eyes, which were filled with obscene light, scanned her body wantonly.

Bai Guo stepped forward and hid her behind him: "You are so presumptuous! If you keep looking around, I will dig your eyes out."

"Pah pah pah, yo, I don't know who in Ruyang City dares to dig out my eyes, Wu Qiang. Who said that you can't look at beautiful women?"

Qu Qingchen pulled Bai Guo and his sister behind him, a hint of anger in his eyes: "Give me back my prey, and I won't sell it to you."

At this time, Wu Qiang looked at the lackeys beside him and suddenly laughed arrogantly with his face up.

The crowd of onlookers started talking about it.

"This Wu family's restaurant has always been so domineering in doing things in this town."

"Who told him to have someone above him?"

"These two siblings will definitely suffer if they provoke the Wu family!"

When Qu Jingyao heard the noises around her, she realized that Zuichunxuan was the property of the Wu family. It seemed that they had the opportunity to cause trouble today.

"Why is it that your Wu family is still trying to force a sale? Are you treating the county magistrate as a mere decoration?"

Wu Qiang didn't expect Qu Jingyao to be so sharp-tongued. A trace of calculation flashed in her narrow eyes. The corners of her lips raised in a deep arc, and she laughed provocatively at the brother and sister.

"I'm a rookie who's not afraid of tigers. Even the county magistrate shows some respect to the Wu family. What can a peasant like you do to me? You have to sell this prey whether you want or not."

As he said this, he asked his men to throw a few copper coins at Qu Qingchen's feet, shouting at him to take the money and get out of here quickly, and not to block their business, otherwise he wouldn't mind being taught a lesson.

Qu Qingchen clenched his hands into fists, his eyes flashed fiercely, and the veins bulging on his forehead indicated that he was on the verge of a rage.

Qu Jingyao reached out and held his hand, smiling and making eye contact with him. Qu Qingchen opened his mouth slightly and was about to speak when he saw his sister suddenly collapse on the ground.

"Everyone, please judge for yourself. This Wu family is truly lawless. A few days ago, before the seventh day after my father's death, the young master of this family forced me to be his concubine. I swore to die rather than obey, and this has put my brother in a difficult position.

We are helpless and our grandmother just kicked us out. We have no money or food. We finally managed to hunt prey on our own, but we are still being treated so harshly by the Wu family. Is it true that the Wu family is the most powerful in Ruyang City? "

Qu Jingyao's eyes were red as she sat on the ground crying, and Bai Guo, who was standing beside her, also rushed to her side.

"You are going too far. The Wu family is nothing! You are always bullying the weak and afraid of the strong."

Wu Qiang's face darkened instantly when he heard Bai Guo's final provocation. He gritted his teeth with a gloomy look in his eyes.

"Haha! You're right. I'm bullying you, so what? Go ahead and bite me! The Wu family is the biggest in Ruyang City, so what?"

Qu Jingyao wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, and looked at the arrogant Wu Qiang with a half-smile on her lips.

She helped Bai Guo to slowly stand up, and took a step forward to face Wu Qiang. "The Wu family is the largest, and you are not afraid of your tongue when you speak. The whole world belongs to the king, and all the people are his subjects. How dare your Wu family claim to be the largest? Are you planning a rebellion?"

After hearing this, everyone gasped and stepped back, keeping their distance from the Wu family. They didn't want to be punished with death.

Wu Qiang suddenly realized what was happening and pointed at Qu Jingyao angrily: "You little bitch, how dare you slander the Wu family with your silver tongue."

"Didn't you say the Wu family is the biggest? Even the royal family has to pay for business. How dare you, a commoner, be so arrogant? Am I wrong?"

Wu Qiang looked at the people around him pointing at him. If the master knew about this, he would be in great trouble. Several patrolling officers in the distance shouted loudly.

"What are you all doing there?"

Wu Qiang's eyes flashed with resentment as he shouted at everyone to disperse and told Qu Jingyao and the others to take the prey and get out of here quickly. He said that if they fell into his hands again, he would not let them off so easily.

Baiguo picked up the prey on the ground, a murderous aura emanated from his body, and he looked at him with cold eyes as if he was looking at a dead person.

Wu Qiang couldn't help but shudder, then shouted to his men to drive away the strangers in front of the door, and then he turned and went into the restaurant.

Qu Qingchen stared coldly at the door of the restaurant with anger still on his face. Qu Jingyao reached out and pulled his sleeve.

"Brother, let's go."

Qu Jingyao pulled her brother away from here, and glanced coldly at Zui Chunxuan when leaving.

At this moment, the man standing by the window on the third floor of Yuxuan Pavilion opposite raised his lips and said, "Interesting."

He instructed the shopkeeper behind him to send someone to find out where the brother and sister had gone and buy back the prey from her.

"Well, okay, I'll do it right away."

He watched Qu Jingyao and his sister walking towards the market, picked up the teacup in his hand and took a sip.

After a while, Qu Jingyao persuaded her brother to come to the market and found a seat next to an old lady selling chicks.

"Okay, brother, don't be angry. That family will get their comeuppance sooner or later."

At this time, Bai Guo was also thinking about whether he should send a message to his master. The Wu family was indeed very arrogant.

"Take a walk and have a look. Fresh wild game is delicious and inexpensive. Don't miss it if you pass by."

Qu Jingyao cupped her hands around her lips into a trumpet shape and shouted loudly. Qu Qingchen, who was standing beside her, was suddenly stunned and looked at the women who came forward to ask about the game with some embarrassment.

When the young girls and wives saw the handsome Qu Qingchen standing there, they all came forward to chat with him.

Qu Jingyao looked at her brother who was at a loss and laughed out loud in an unkind way.
