A farmer has a shrewish wife; he's busy making money every day.

Ye Qingxue followed the so-called Minister of the Court of Judicial Review back to the county government office.

In this incident, she was simply a kind-hearted civilian who went to the outhouse, unfortunately witnessed someone committing a crime, and bravely stepped forward to stop it.

So he was released very quickly.

The key lies in the testimonies of Zhao Yantang and Xu Guangming.

Fortunately, Ye Qingxue had already given them instructions on what to say beforehand, so there shouldn't be any major mistakes.

Ye Qingxue's plan this time was to use Zhao Yantang at the Lu residence to lure the people from the Fierce Tiger Stronghold out to capture them.

Find another eyewitness to confirm that Tiger Stronghold had ulterior motives.

Then, during the fight, they stuffed the gold ore they had stolen last time into the pockets of the men from Fierce Tiger Village.

Finally, with a loud shout, and at Magistrate Xu's urging, everyone was brought to the scene to witness firsthand the atrocities committed by the Fierce Tiger Stronghold.

Since this matter occurred in full view of everyone, Ye Qingxue was not worried that anyone would show favoritism or cover up the wrongdoing; she was certain that a result would be given.

The only regret is that we didn't directly expose the person in Jiangnan Prefecture who was connected to Menghu Village.

At the time, Ye Qingxue was observing the people present and found no one with an unusual expression.

I don't know if that person wasn't actually there, or if they were just too good at disguising themselves.

As Ye Qingxue walked out of the county government gate, she let out a long breath.

"it is finally over."

Once everything is completely resolved, she will change back into women's clothing!

Wearing my chest wrapped up all day is so uncomfortable!

"Brother Ye!" From a distance, Ye Qingxue saw Wen Yanyu standing beside the carriage, waving at her.

Ye Qingxue hurriedly went to greet him, "Young Master Wen, what are you doing here?"

Wen Yanyu smiled and said, "I'll wait for you. Being questioned in the yamen is something ordinary people can't handle. I'm afraid you'll be scared."

Ye Qingxue was somewhat moved, "Young Master Wen is quite righteous."

Wen Yanyu looked at her and laughed, "Brother Ye, you've really made a name for yourself today! It's all over the county. They're saying the noodle stall boy is a great hero!"

Ye Qingxue was taken aback for a moment, then laughed and said, "Exaggerated, that's too exaggerated."

"Get in the car, I'll take you home."

"Thank you."

As she sat in the car, feeling enveloped in warmth, Ye Qingxue suddenly remembered that she needed to tell Wen Yanyu that she was a woman.

After spending so many days together, we can be considered friends.

“Um…” Ye Qingxue hesitated for a moment before speaking.

"Whoa!" The coachman suddenly stopped the carriage, and Ye Qingxue, caught off guard, fell towards Wen Yanyu.

Ye Qingxue was caught by a pair of strong hands as she lost her balance, and she quickly stood up, saying, "I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry."

Wen Yanyu helped Ye Qingxue up and reassured her, "You're alright, did you hurt yourself anywhere?"

Ye Qingxue shook her head. Wen Yanyu lifted the carriage curtain and asked the driver, "What happened?"

The driver said apologetically, "Just now, two girls suddenly rushed out into the street, and it looked like they were arguing."

Ye Qingxue looked outside curiously and, sure enough, saw two girls, one tall and one short, excitedly shouting something.

"I was wrong, I really didn't mean to lie to you."

Upon hearing this, Ye Qingxue was stunned.

That girl's voice sounded so much like a man's.

"You did it on purpose! You dressed up as a woman to get close to me and become my friend. What were you thinking?!"

"I'm sorry, I really wanted to be your sister..."

"I think you have ulterior motives!"

"Little Flower...aren't we good friends?"

"Ah! Don't call me that! I can't take it. Don't follow me, let me calm down!"

……

As the carriage drove further away, Ye Qingxue remained silent inside for a long while.

"that……"

"Brother Ye..."

They both spoke at the same time.

Ye Qingxue let Wen Yanyu speak first.

"Brother Ye, were you frightened?"

It turned out that Wen Yanyu was afraid of scaring him.

Strange, in his mind, was she so weak and easily frightened?

Ye Qingxue shook her head and secretly glanced at Wen Yanyu. "They were quite interesting just now. They dressed up as women to make friends with girls."

Wen Yanyu shook his head. "No matter what, lying is wrong. Friendship gained through deception is indeed hard to accept."

“Ah, indeed…” Ye Qingxue suddenly didn’t know how to reply. Wen Yanyu’s attitude towards deception seemed to be quite unacceptable.

How come this happened just when I was about to reveal my true gender?

Is it that God doesn't want her to say it?

Ye Qingxue was somewhat depressed.

But no matter what, once the matter of Fierce Tiger Village is resolved, she will change back into women's clothing.

Ugh, are you going to tell me or not?!

Hesitantly, even after getting off the bus, Ye Qingxue still couldn't bring herself to say it.

When I came to my senses, Wen Yanyu's carriage had already driven far away.

"Boss Ye is back!" Shan Xuan exclaimed excitedly from the noodle stall. Chen Shi and Aunt Lu put down their work and rushed to Ye Qingxue's side.

"You're back? Is something wrong? I heard someone say that some noodle stall guy went to fight the Tiger Stronghold like a hero today? Was that you?"

As soon as Chen arrived, she looked Ye Qingxue up and down anxiously and asked nervously.

"Oh, I'm fine. I just did a little bit of heroism," Ye Qingxue replied, her eyes crinkling.

On the other side, Aunt Lu kept patting Ye Qingxue, saying, "You've got some nerve! How could you do something so dangerous? What would I do to your parents if something happened?"

Ye Qingxue felt numb all over from being slapped, and quickly stopped Aunt Lu's hands, "Alright, alright! Aunts, I finally escaped from danger, and now I have to be beaten again. I'm so miserable!"

"What are you saying, child!" Mrs. Chen was amused.

Aunt Lu couldn't help but chuckle as she stood by.

"Alright, alright, the guests must be getting impatient. Go back and cook the noodles!" Ye Qingxue turned Chen Shi and Aunt Lu around and pushed them in front of the stove.

"Aunt Chen, this table of guests wants two bowls of scallion oil noodles!" Shan Xuan jogged over from the other side.

"Okay!" Chen wiped her hands and hurriedly returned to her work station.

Just as Aunt Lu was about to turn and leave, she suddenly remembered something and took out a small purse from her pocket.

"This is the income for this period of time, including the money earned from the noodle shop and from helping the village sell goods. You can count it."

After saying that, Aunt Lu turned around and went back to her work.

Ye Qingxue opened the money pouch and counted the money; it totaled eight taels and four hundred and thirty-two coins.

After carefully putting away the money pouch, Ye Qingxue's lips unconsciously curled into a smile.

Less than three ounces left, and task three will be completed.

Oh right! When she got off the bus just now, Wen Yanyu seemed to have given her her wages.

Ye Qingxue quickly looked down and rummaged in her pocket, and sure enough, she found three taels of silver!

Ye Qingxue: !!

That much? It only took a little over an hour.

"Ding—Mission Three Completed, number of Spirit Fields increased to thirty-six, 23rd Century Supermarket Open!"

Ye Qingxue's spirits lifted! Mission Three was complete!

The supermarket! We've finally arrived!
