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

Xu Gong's bamboo pole was very long. With a sudden charge, he knocked over several people in front of him, blocking their path to catch up with Qian Baizhi.

He swung the bamboo pole so high that it looked like a giant, spinning fan from a distance.

The lackeys couldn't get close for a moment and stood looking at each other in bewilderment a short distance away.

"Brothers, let's wait until he gets tired before we fight him. He can't escape anyway, and it's not worth getting hurt."

Xu Gong swung his bamboo pole and kept approaching the lackeys, who had no choice but to retreat step by step.

Master Cai arrived in a sedan chair and saw that all his men were stopped by just one person.

He roared angrily, "Idiot, throw something at him! You brainless fool, dreaming of a reward! Keep dreaming!"

If my beauty escapes today, I'll be fined a month's wages and then punished with family discipline when I get home!

The lackeys' faces immediately darkened; they didn't want to be punished!

Just as Xu Gong was watching Cai Yuanwai's lackeys, Qian Baizhi had already run back to the inn.

Her face was pale as she rushed into the room, then grabbed Ye Wushuang and ran outside again, crying, "Where is Qing-mei? Take me there quickly!"

At this moment, she was filled with regret. She should never have gone out shopping; it would have been great if she had just seen Xu Gong.

Now that she's caused this trouble, how can she face Aunt Wen's family if something happens to Xu Gong?

Confused, Ye Wushuang stopped and asked, "What's wrong? Why did you come back alone? What happened? Tell me slowly, there's no rush."

Qian Baizhi's eyes were red-rimmed. As she pulled Ye Wushuang towards the exit of the inn, she quickly said:

"There's no time to explain, we need to hurry and get Sister Qing to lead people to rescue Second Brother Xu!"

Seeing Qian Baizhi's appearance, Ye Wushuang knew that something was wrong.

He said seriously, "The carriage is parked outside. Let's walk and talk. Where did the accident happen?"

Qian Baizhi wiped away her tears: "Mingyue Pavilion. Hurry, I'm afraid something will happen to Second Brother Xu, hurry!"

After sending out the carrier pigeon, Cui Yifeng began to fawn over Xu Qing, serving her tea and water.

He completely disregarded the dignity of the eldest son of the Cui family, the one in power.

Xu Qing did not refuse and let Cui Yifeng fawn over her.

It's good to teach this person a lesson; a strong impression will help them remember.

"Now that the troublemakers inside the workshop have been dealt with, how do you plan to handle the situation outside?"

This happened in public, and all the customers witnessed it. If we don't handle this properly, who will dare to buy our milk tea in the future?

Xu Qing asked as she ate the orange that Cui Yifeng had peeled.

Like a student called upon by Old Shi to answer a question, Cui Yifeng stood obediently, put his hands behind his back, and said:

"Godmother probably doesn't know this, but the Cai family in the prefectural city and I are not on good terms. They've taken a lot of my business."

My eldest uncle was the Minister of Justice, and his sister was the favorite concubine of the Minister of Revenue.

The Ministry of Revenue held significant power over finances and taxation. Whenever the Emperor introduced a policy to benefit the people, his brother-in-law was always the first to know.

Because of this connection, the Cai family has made a lot of money in recent years, and they've become quite arrogant.

He approached me the other day, wanting to partner with me in this milk tea business. This is your business, my godmother, how could I possibly agree to that?

I refused him, but this bastard went so far as to say that anyone who orders my milk tea is going against him and his brother-in-law.

Merchants are inherently afraid of offending officials, especially those in charge of taxation; they simply cannot afford to offend them.

However, our business hasn't been affected much. Other restaurants don't dare to sell, so why would I be afraid of them?

This time, we've conveniently pinned the blame on him; I've already sent people to spread rumors.

"Just say that he tried to steal Xiao Liu's wife but failed, and then, out of malicious intent, he poisoned Xiao Liu to death. It has nothing to do with our milk tea."

Xu Qing thought to himself, "Is this how it can be done?"

He asked, "But will others believe it?"

Cui Yi said meaningfully:

"I'll definitely believe it. If you say he had malicious intentions because I refused his request to cooperate with me."

Others certainly won't believe it.

But if you say he harmed someone because he failed to steal a woman, no one would doubt it.

In Fucheng, pretty girls without powerful connections don't dare to go out at all, all because of this guy surnamed Cai.

Now you understand how true this rumor is, godmother.

Xu Qing understood; she understood perfectly.

Isn't this just like the scene in TV dramas where spoiled brats forcibly abduct women?

She gave Cui Yifeng a thumbs up: "That's a good move."

Anyway, that guy surnamed Cai already has a terrible reputation, so one more thing won't matter.

"Aunt Xu, where is Aunt Xu?"

Ye Wushuang's anxious shouts came from outside the room.

Xu Qing's expression changed, and he abruptly stood up and walked outside:

"What happened? Weren't you with your second brother and the others? Did something happen to them?"

Ye Wushuang said, panting, "The constables arrived in time. Uncle Xu suffered some minor injuries, which have already been bandaged."

Aunt Qian was looking after him. The person who hurt him had some connections, and the constables didn't dare to touch him.

"We're at the yamen right now. Aunt Xu, would you like to go see Uncle Xu first, or go to the yamen?"

Upon hearing that Xu Gong was injured, Xu Qing's face darkened considerably: "Let's go to the yamen first."

She knew that her second brother was not the type to cause trouble, especially since he was with Qian Baizhi. It must be someone who was bullying and humiliating him!

So what if you have connections?

The emperor is subject to the same laws as the common people.

If the officials in the government do not handle the matter impartially.

She also wanted to find out who had bullied her second brother and take revenge in her own way!

Cui Yifeng followed behind Xu Qing: "Godmother, don't worry, don't be angry. No matter how powerful his background is, it can't compare to my uncle's."

I will definitely get justice for my uncle and make that person pay the price!

Xu Qing and Cui Yifeng boarded Ye Wushuang's carriage and sped off towards the yamen.

On the way, Ye Wushuang gave Xu Qing a brief account of what had happened.

"Aunt Qian went back to the inn alone and asked me to come find you to rescue Uncle Xu."

Since the matter was urgent, I first summoned the patrolling constables to handle it.

I only came to inform you after I had settled Uncle Xu and the others."

Xu Qing forced a smile at Ye Wushuang: "Thank you. Who was the one who hit my second brother?"

Ye Wushuang was somewhat at a loss for words.

Cui Yifeng slapped him and said, "What are you stammering about? Madam Xu is my godmother. Does someone I'm protecting have anyone to fear?"

Ye Wushuang glanced at Cui Yifeng and said helplessly, "You really are wary of him, that Cai fellow, Master Cai."

"It's that bastard again! He..."

Cui Yifeng swallowed the rest of his words and kept them to himself.

He just spoke ill of that Master Cai in front of his godmother, so she must have figured out why they fought!

“Godmother, this grandson has run right into our hands this time. Don’t be angry. Although I can’t do anything about him.”

But my uncle is already on his way back, and he's definitely not going to let him off the hook!

Xu Qing kept a straight face and didn't say another word the whole way.
