"What are you talking about? As long as I am with you, I will always be happy. Everything else is nothing. I am not afraid. I will deal with them."

Silly girl, a man's sincerity is important, but the opinions of the people around him will also affect your feelings invisibly, Xu Mengxiao thought to himself.

What's more, Nie Jinqiu's temperament makes him indecisive and difficult to make decisions at first glance.

"It's not that there is no other way. It just depends on how you choose. Mr. Nie, you were once a scholar. You are familiar with poetry and books. You should know who is right and who is wrong."

"Under such circumstances, would you abandon the one you love for such a family?"

Wen Changming's eyes flashed. Will he make a choice? If he chooses Chang Yue and completely gives up those excellent family members, he will also be beautiful as an adult!

But obviously, Nie Jinqiu, who was deeply influenced by Confucianism, upheld the concept of "filial piety comes first", thought for a long time, and finally looked at Wen Changyue in shame.

"I'm sorry, Yue'er, I can't give you what you want. I...I can't protect you."

"It doesn't matter, I don't mind! Those are them, and their thoughts do not represent me!" Wen Changyue said anxiously, tears falling down.

Jinqiu had abandoned his family once for her, what else could she not sacrifice?

Nie Jinqiu shook his head vigorously, his face full of pain, "They are right, I can't harm you, and I don't want you to be treated like that by my family after you marry me..."

He really couldn't make a choice. He was afraid of betraying his lover for the sake of filial piety, and he was also afraid of disappointing his parents for the sake of his lover.

The two people here were crying so hard, but Lu He and Lu Hai were expressionless. In their opinion, the so-called inability to weigh was because they were not strong enough.

If you have enough power to speak, let alone the woman you love, even if you want to go to heaven and earth, your family members will have to shut up!

What's more, a man cannot give his beloved woman what she needs and has to give her up. How useless is that?

Xu Mengxiao had nothing to say. In ancient times, filial piety was important, and Nie Jinqiu was a bit foolish and filial. He couldn't make this decision. If Wen Changyue followed him, suffering would be inevitable sooner or later.

As Wen Changming said, short-term pain is worse than long-term pain.

"I don't care, I just want to be with you! Nie Jinqiu, if you dare to abandon me, I will immediately marry a man who is worse than you. I will be beaten and scolded by him, and I may give him a lot of children. He will die in childbirth!"

The young man's face turned horribly pale, "You're crazy!"

"You know if I dare."

Wen Changming also looked extremely ugly. Just as he was about to scold him, Xu Mengxiao shook her head at him.

Their persuasion is useless, and they may have to rely on themselves to solve the problem, but this trend is a good sign.

One wants to give up for love, while the other refuses to let go, even threatening her own happiness. Although she is speechless, she may be able to indirectly make this indecisive man make a choice.

What the outcome will be is not something that will happen in a while, and Xu Mengxiao and the others will not know.

After settling Wen Changming's matter and saying goodbye to him, Lu Hai suggested: "The prefect has class in the afternoon, let's go have a meal first."

How could they not participate in the interrogation of Xu Lao Er, but since he had been busy from early morning to now, he was so hungry that his chest was touching his back.

"Taoyuan Township is probably overcrowded right now. Let's go to Yipinju to eat." Xu Mengxiao suggested.

The corners of Lu He's lips curved slightly, and Lu Hai really didn't expect it, but it was indeed her Xu Mengxiao, wasn't it?

When they arrived at Yipinju, they had indeed fewer customers. Some diners were still talking about shopkeeper Xu being taken away by officials. For this reason, they wanted to come and get some news, otherwise there would be fewer diners today.

At this time, some people were surprised to see Xu Mengxiao and his party——

"Sandongjia, why do you come here to eat again?" Is the food at Yipinju better?

"I can't help it. I can't afford the food at home. There just aren't many people here, so I just came to sit."

Seeing what he said, the second shopkeeper of Yipinju, who had just taken charge, stepped forward with a dark face and said, "We don't welcome you people from Taoyuan Township. Maybe you came here deliberately to steal information about our restaurant. You should go somewhere else!"

"Hey, don't be like this. You are just a guest. If you go to our Taoyuan Township, we will definitely welcome you at any time." Xu Mengxiao said generously, "I will give you a discount when the time comes!"

"Despicable!" a waiter couldn't help but spit, "I've never seen such shameless people in Taoyuan Township!"

Lu Hai slapped the table and stood up. He could not stand Xu Mengxiao and said she was not the right person. Why should these people?

"Keep your mouth clean!"

"Lu Hai." Xu Mengxiao held him down and said sternly, "I'm sorry, I'm just here to have a meal as an individual, not the Sandong family in Taoyuan Township. What our restaurant compares is whether the food is delicious and how well done it is. Whether it’s clean, affordable, price, service, etc., rather than me as a person, right?”

"Whether I come to your restaurant or not, it shouldn't have much impact on you, right?" As for the guests who have been attracted away, if Yipinju is really better than their Taoyuan Township, why can't they retain the guests? Everyone will come back if they should. .

"You are clearly provoking!" After all, the second shopkeeper is the second shopkeeper, not the first shopkeeper. The anger and disgust are written on his face.

Xu Mengxiao didn't want to argue with them and delay the meal time, "Well, we won't be able to come back next time."

Someone immediately spoke for them, "Are you so narrow-minded? Isn't it okay for Miss Xu to bring her family over for a meal?"

"The No. 1 Restaurant in Huanfu City doesn't even have room for people. It seems that Taoyuan Township really makes them feel threatened."

"Yes, yes. I didn't look down on Taoyuan Township at first, but now I'm a little curious. There are so many restaurants opened in Fucheng, but I haven't seen anyone in Yipinju be so afraid of anyone."

Hearing this, the second boss who came down from upstairs almost spit out blood.

If he hadn't learned about Xu Mengxiao with a strange style of painting and unruly behavior from Xu Daxiang, he would have been deceived by her innocent appearance!

But even if he knew, he had to pretend to be generous and quickly invite the person back.

"I'm sorry Miss Xu, it's actually the second aunt you brought that day who took our boss to court. We were too busy to take care of it for the moment."

This person put the blame on himself. How could Xu Mengxiao be so polite, "A big shopkeeper is not here, so he is too busy to touch the ground? It seems that you Yipinju people are used to being lazy and slipping, and you can do all these things." Not coming."

"You, don't go too far!" The second shopkeeper almost poked her face with his fingers.

"As for your careless employment, you attracted a scum who abandoned his wife and daughter. Isn't it destined to be sued in court? Previously, the second master said that all men make mistakes, so let the prefect see what you, the boss, are saying It’s a mistake that all men make—will they be punished?”

The second boss lost his face at this time, gritted his teeth and lowered his voice, "Don't go too far, I really think your Taoyuan Township is nothing!"

Lu He narrowed his long eyes and immediately stood in front of Xu Mengxiao.

She smiled softly, "Of course we in Taoyuan Township are not onions, but we act according to our conscience and don't do any dirty things, so we can sit upright. On the other hand, you guys have to be more careful in what you do next!"

The second boss thought she was talking about Xu Daxiang's arrest, but they didn't know that the matter at Chunfeng Gambling House was still waiting for them.

But the Xu Daxiang incident alone is enough to give the second boss a headache. After all, damn it, I just spoke to him not long ago. If he is really thrown into jail, his integrity and character will also be questioned!
