Gourmet Girl: Becoming a Royal Merchant Started from Selling Buns

Zhou Li's eyes suddenly lit up, he was waiting for the prince to say this!

He Cheng could argue that the handwriting was forged, or that he could change the writing style on the spot, but that was his imperial examination paper! He absolutely could not deny it!

He hurriedly took the prince's token and rushed out at full speed.

Outside the county government hall, there was a crowd of people who had rushed over to eat melons after hearing the news.

When Su An arrived, he saw a carriage slowly approaching, and a handsome young man with a fair face was getting out of the carriage with his robe lifted.

He was dressed in a flowing robe, but he naturally exuded the arrogance of a scholar. His eyes glanced at the exclaiming crowd with disdain.

"It's Mr. He Cheng! He's here as expected!"

"As expected of someone who passed the imperial examination, he looks so impressive!"

Su An rolled his eyes on the spot. Extraordinary demeanor? Indeed, judging by his appearance, he is a Phoenix man who likes to eat soft rice!

She sneered in her heart, looked around with her eyes and nose, and walked towards the yamen indifferently.

"Su An?" When He Cheng spotted the girl with bright eyes and white teeth in the crowd, he was stunned.

At this moment, Su An walked slowly and gracefully, with peach blossom-like eyebrows and eyes bright and upright, without any trace of her previous timid image.

Is this Suan? ?

But after not seeing each other for a few days, the difference is so big!

Moreover, she seemed to be doing better after being abandoned by herself?

Pretend not to see him!

Haha - okay, you'll do anything to attract my attention, right?

He Cheng sneered repeatedly, suppressed his anger and followed him. He wanted to see what tricks Su An was going to play!

In the hall, Su An and He Cheng soon stood facing each other.

Facing the stern-looking county magistrate on the platform, He Cheng took the initiative and accused Su An of crimes with great sorrow and anguish.

But everyone said that Su An was slandering and spreading rumors to force marriage, while he was a gentleman with a clean record!

Upon hearing this, the county magistrate looked at him twice with an expressionless face, his eyes cold, as if he was examining something.

Then he asked Xiang Suan: "Defendant, do you have anything to say in your defense?"

Su An resisted the urge to yell at this scoundrel and scumbag. She took a deep breath and began to calmly explain her past with He Cheng word by word.

Finally, she took out the letter from her bosom and presented it as evidence.

"Please take a look, sir. Inside are not only the love letters He Cheng had written to me, but also the letter of engagement he had given to my family. He cheated me out of ten taels of silver just to get enough money for the imperial examination."

"And after passing the imperial examination, not only did he regret the engagement, he also refused to return the money!"

"Our Su family was almost destroyed because of him!"

Su An couldn't help but clench her fists, her clear voice revealing a hint of anger, and she continued to shout loudly: "As for those rumors, I have only spread them truthfully. I just want to seek justice for myself and have never slandered or framed anyone!"

"Please, sir, investigate this matter!"

He Cheng had long expected Su An to do this. He raised the corner of his mouth slightly with pride and did not show any panic.

When the county magistrate questioned him again, he argued that it was Su An who forged the letter, and Su An would not be able to make any more waves!

Who would have thought that the stern-faced county magistrate in the hall, after taking the letter, took out a piece of paper and carefully compared it.

The more he looked, the more solemn his expression became, and at the same time, disappointment was revealed.

He shook his head, then slammed the gavel and glared at He Chengdao, "I have verified that the engagement letter is indeed your handwriting. What Miss Su An said is true!"

"How dare you make a false accusation in court? How audacious! What else do you have to say?"

"What!" He Cheng was immediately shocked. How could this county magistrate make such a conclusion without even asking any questions?!

His face was full of disbelief, and he quickly said: "Impossible! This is obviously forged by Su An..."

"How dare you! You dare to quibble!" The county magistrate was instantly furious and took up his examination paper to show him clearly. "Here is your examination paper. The handwriting is the same, there is no doubt about it!"

"Considering that you are a juren and this is your first offense, I will forgive your false accusation this time! If you dare to speak falsely again, don't blame me for punishing you with twenty lashes of the cane according to the law!"

He Cheng's face turned pale and he was dazed in an instant, and he was terrified.

Aren't all the test papers sealed in the archives? How could this county magistrate have such great power to mobilize them?!

Crazy!

Su An didn't know the twists and turns involved, but was just surprised that the result was so smooth.

But that's just right!

She bowed with satisfaction and said, "Then I'll ask the county magistrate to make sure that scumbag He Cheng returns the ten taels of silver to my family immediately!"

Although He Cheng did not have a promissory note when he borrowed the money, he wrote it down in the love letter in order to deceive the original owner!

He Cheng was so frustrated that he almost vomited blood. Su An, that bitch, actually meant it! How dare she ask him to pay back the money!

But seeing the stern look of the county magistrate and more and more people outside pointing fingers at him, he could only swallow his anger no matter how great it was.

Just as he reluctantly handed over the silver, he glared at Su An with cold eyes and gritted his teeth: "Su An! Just wait! Don't even think about asking me to look at you again in the future!"

Su An had just taken the silver, but when he heard it, he immediately covered his nose with his hands, looking disgusted, as if he was trash, and jumped away with great disgust.

"Go away! Where did you come from, you filthy thing! Don't get close to me!"

This immediately irritated He Cheng again, and his face turned as pale as if he had swallowed a fly!

"All right!"

The county magistrate slammed the gavel, looked at Su An and shouted in a sonorous voice: "This court officially declares that Miss Su An is innocent and has been cleared of any false accusations or frame-ups!"

"This case is closed, leave the court!"

The onlookers could see clearly that what Su An said was true and innocent. As soon as she came out, the crowd cheered and congratulated her.

Su An was in a very good mood. He put the silver in his pocket, hummed a little tune, and hurried home.

Scumbag? Haha! That’s all!

Apart from the disgusting defense, there is nothing to be afraid of!

But she didn't know that after she left, the crowd dispersed and began to whisper in groups of three or two:

"If you ask me, even though the young boss is innocent, what decent woman would be like her? She'd disregard her notoriety, even disregarding her clean reputation, and bringing out love letters and engagement letters, causing such a scandal that it became a hot topic?"

"I felt ashamed for her watching her, but she was actually quite proud of it!"

"Tsk tsk tsk, even though she's a good cook, she's so shameless! I'll still buy her food, but I definitely won't marry a woman as restless and shameless as her!"

"Of course you should! Go back and tell your children off on your own, never let them fall for a woman like that!"

The rumors about Su An spread from one person to ten, and from ten to a hundred. They spread rapidly, filling the streets and alleys overnight.

It was Su An who discovered that the guests were looking at her with strange and contemptuous eyes. She walked around outside and found out about this.

When she looked more closely, she found that her whole family had already known about it, but they had carefully concealed it because they were afraid that she would be sad.

Su An was quite calm about this, and did not make any noise. He prepared meals for himself and the God of Wealth's family every day, and then researched new products, running his own shop wholeheartedly.

Anyway, there are many customers coming to buy buns, as long as the money is not lost, she is too lazy to argue with these worldly people!

Taking advantage of this period of time, the pancake shop also changed its signboard and became a new Su's Steamed Bun Shop, officially launching its first steamed bun business!

However, the family was not as relieved as Su An.

That day, Li Guihua was still worried in the yard when she heard from a distance the loud and shrill voice of her neighbor Wang Po across the street:

"Oh, what you said is not true! It's obviously that Su An who is shameless! She rushed to throw herself into He Cheng's arms!"
