Divorcing your wife might feel good for a moment, but seeing me make money will make you regret it f

Anyway, it's just a little laxative; they can't possibly actually kill him.

So what if he's sent to the authorities? He'll only be in jail for a few days. Compared to the hundred taels of silver and the benefits that man promised him.

That's nothing at all.

Xu Qing nodded: "Anyway, I already know who's behind this. Since you want to die, I won't stop you."

"A life for a life," as the saying goes. I wonder if the prefect of this city will also give you a cup of poisoned milk tea?

Maybe they'll be beheaded. I heard you're an orphan, which is good, so your parents won't be heartbroken to have to bury their child.

"Take him to the yamen (government office)."

Qian Asan was struck dumb, and he cried out in terror:

"What do you mean by 'a life for a life'? I didn't kill anyone! It was clearly you, you bitch, who tried to kill me."

When did I kill anyone? You must have bribed the government; you're all in cahoots to frame me!"

Xu Qing raised his hand, and Cui Yi, who was dragging Qian Asan out, stopped.

"Let me let you die knowing the truth. The person who gave you the jade bracelet said it contained laxatives, but it actually contained arsenic."

Fortunately, the poisoned milk tea hasn't been delivered to the restaurant yet, but you killed the deliveryman, Xiao Liu. If you don't believe me, you can ask Da Ya.

She wouldn't lie to you.

It wasn't me who wanted to kill you to silence you; it was the person who gave you the bracelet.

Let me guess why you said I had someone kill you and then save you.

Is it because the person who killed you said he was sent by me?

You're so stupid. If I really wanted to kill you, why did you even bother to introduce yourself?

Someone cheated you and tried to kill you, yet you protect them like the apple of your eye.

People like you should really die sooner rather than later; you're just wasting air by living in this world.

"Explaining all this to you is a waste of my breath. Cui Yi, take him to the yamen."

"Yes."

After answering, Cui paused for a moment, then quickly dragged Qian Asan out.

Honestly, he's the young master's subordinate, so why does he so readily obey Madam Xu's words?

Hey, forget it.

Because she's the young master's godmother.

The fact that the young master didn't stop it means that he agreed.

Even as he was being dragged away, Qian A-San refused to believe it, roaring, "You're lying to me! You're the one lying to me!"

Cui Yifeng asked cautiously, "Godmother, do you really know who ordered him to do this?"

Xu Qing nodded slightly, then turned to the employees of the milk tea workshop and said:

"Aunt Zeng has made a meritorious report and will be rewarded with two taels of silver. Those who prepare food must be on their best behavior."

I don't want this to happen again. From now on, you will keep an eye on each other.

Whoever is responsible for brewing the milk tea each day is also responsible for safety. If any problems arise, I will hold the person in charge that day accountable.

Anyone who fails to follow the instructions will be dismissed immediately, and the person who reports them will be rewarded with 2 taels of silver.

I know you might find this requirement too strict, and if you can't accept it, you can leave now.

Aunt Zhao and the others immediately chimed in, "No! We don't find it strict at all; we can accept it!"

Are you kidding? Where else can you find a job with such good pay if you leave here?

Da Ya lowered her head and said hopelessly, "Boss, am I going to be fired...?"

Xu Qing said expressionlessly, "Although you don't know there's something wrong with the jade bracelet, I remember saying it."

No jewelry is allowed while working. Even a single strand of hair falling into the tea makes the entire pot of milk tea need to be discarded and brewed again.

Since you didn't follow the rules, the workshop naturally won't want you anymore. Consider the wages you received in advance as severance pay; you can leave.

Da Ya smiled wryly, thanked them, and left the workshop.

Even after dealing with the employee's matter, Xu Qing's expression remained unchanged.

When Xu Gong saw that she was very angry, he comforted her, saying, "Little sister, don't get sick from being so angry. You can't see into someone's heart, and everyone makes mistakes."

Xu Qing shook her head.

She was angry that Cui Yifeng was protecting Old Madam Cui, but she couldn't say it yet.

"I'm fine, Second Brother. Bai Zhi is here. I was afraid of scaring her, so I put her in an inn. You go find her. I have some things to take care of."

When Xu Gong heard that his beloved had arrived, he offered a few words of comfort before hesitantly leaving the workshop.

Before leaving, I still felt a little guilty and made a promise:

"Little sister, I'm going to see Bai Zhi and tell her. I'll come back and help you with your business."

"Pfft."

Xu Qing was amused by Xu Gong's appearance.

She could easily see that Xu Gong's heart had already flown to Qian Baizhi.

I just thought she was still upset about not recognizing the right person and that she was leaving without peace of mind.

Xu Qing waved his hand and said, "You should spend some quality time with Bai Zhi, wander around the city, make her happy, and then come back."

You don't need to worry here. You don't know, but on our way back, we met Bai Zhi in Dukou Town.

She came all alone to Fucheng to find you, and you heartless wretch, letting such a beautiful wife travel so far alone.

Xu Gong became even more anxious, feeling both happy and worried as he thought about the scene.

Before leaving, he was only focused on comforting Bai Zhi, never expecting that she would actually want to come and find him.

He hadn't considered everything thoroughly.

"If you need anything, little sister, just send someone to find me. I won't go far; I'll just take Baizhi for a stroll on the east and west streets."

I'm leaving!

After Xu Gong left, Cui Yifeng also wanted to go back and cause trouble for Old Madam Cui.

Xu Qing stopped him and said, "I think you should give me an explanation regarding the person who instigated Qian Asan."

Cui Yifeng didn't expect Xu Qing to still be harping on this issue.

He thought that the Indian guy who said he knew who was behind it was the one who was trying to scam him out of money.

Judging from Xu Qing's expression at this moment, it seems that he really knows.

He forced himself to say, "I don't know either... I'll tell you, godmother, if I tell you, please don't tell my little sister."

Xu Qing walked toward the meeting room, with Cui Yifeng following closely behind, his face contorted with worry.

"Is Madam Cui doing this targeting you, me, or Zhenzhen?"

Let me guess, you're the head of the Cui family. She shouldn't be so stupid as to provoke you; I have no grudge against her.

The last one is Zhenzhen.

As Xu Qingyue spoke, her expression grew colder, and by the time she finished speaking, her face was as cold as ice.

"You keep saying you want Zhenzhen to go back to the Cui family with you to make up for the days you missed in the past."

Now they haven't even stepped inside, and they're already resorting to these underhanded schemes.

Cui Yifeng said urgently, "Godmother, Aunt Xu, please let me explain. I didn't tell you the truth just now because I was afraid you would think that way."

But I don't want to protect that old woman. I just want to deal with her privately. This time it was my oversight, and I promise it will never happen again!

Can you please not tell your little sister these dirty things? It'll only offend her ears and upset her.

That old woman is practically invisible at home and poses no threat to my younger sister. If it weren't for my uncle, I would have sent her to live with her good son long ago..."

Xu Qing remained unmoved and sneered, "You think you can make me believe you just by opening and closing your mouth? Do you think you can fool me like a little girl?"

Cui Yifeng was sweating profusely with anxiety; his usual calm and strategic demeanor had completely vanished.

All he could think about was how to gain Xu Qing's trust.

He took good care of his younger sister, and he didn't want her to know about these dirty things; it was because he hadn't been able to before.

Now he hopes his younger sister only sees the good things.
