Bo Jinjue once again performed with Wu Niangzi. Although it was only their second collaboration, they felt a tacit understanding.

Fang Yonghao was dozing off while listening to the music. He even yawned several times and couldn't help but interrupt, "How long are you going to play? The sound is kind of hypnotic. Why don't we stop and have a chat?"

Bo Jinjue stopped playing, and Wu Niangzi had to stop as well.

Wu Niangzi didn't give Fang Yonghao a good look at all. She threw her sleeves in anger and said, "Today's meeting is over. Please go back, my lord!"

Fang Yonghao was a little annoyed, but he held back his anger and grabbed Bo Jinjue and said, "Brother, come with me for a drink!"

Bo Jinjue did not go to see Wu Niangzi and was dragged out by Fang Yonghao.

Suddenly, Wu Niangzi's maid came out and took Fang Yonghao aside. Another maid took the opportunity to slip a note into Bo Jinjue's hand.

After the red sleeves trick, Fang Yonghao became happy again: "Women are women, no exception. How easy is it for me to give her the best rouge and powder?"

Bo Jinjue kept the note in his sleeve and opened it immediately after separating from Fang Yonghao.

It said to meet him tomorrow.

Bo Jinjue threw the note on the ground. He was not prepared for such a fancy move as seeing a gold ingot.

"Prince, remember what you promised me!"

Fang Yonghao waved goodbye and left in the carriage.

Although Bo Jinjue would not go to see Wu Niangzi, her face was still lingering in his mind.

He is proud, and it is enough for such a woman to fall in love with him.

When I returned to the mansion, Rong Qingqing was not in the room. When I asked the maid, I found out that she had gone to Jingxin Hall.

"Madam has been gone for an hour. I heard that the first and third madams are also in Jingxin Hall!"

After hearing this, Bo Jinjue asked her maid to find out.

"If the situation is not right, don't go in."

When the maid Xunxiang heard this, she had to go to Jingxin Hall, but found Qiuwen was also outside.

"What's going on in there?"

Qiu Wen sighed and said, "I heard that the old lady was asking about the store. No one has been in for such a long time, and I don't know what she is talking about."

Xunxiang heard this, thought for a moment and turned back: "I heard it's about the store, no one knows what's going on inside, Master, I'll serve you and you can rest first?"

Bo Jinjue nodded, went over to take a look at the sleeping Tuan Tuan, and thought about Wu Niangzi while taking a bath.

Unexpectedly, a crisp voice came from outside: "Master, the hot water is ready, I brought it in."

When Bo Jinjue turned around, a graceful figure was projected on the screen.

"No, keep it for my wife."

Xunxiang was ready, but she didn't expect to be rejected. She was still unwilling to give up: "Do you need a back rub?"

Bo Jinjue frowned and said, "Go away. I want to be alone for a while."

Xunxiang had no choice but to come out and sit on the doorstep.

It’s no wonder that the maids all want to climb into bed. Bo Jinjue has always been a romantic and dashing man. He treats the maids very gently and never says a harsh word to them.

People who don't know him well think he has a gentle personality, but in fact, Bo Jinjue has no interest in these women who are servants.

However, Wu Niangzi still lingered in his mind, which made him very annoyed.

The old lady asked about the recent affairs of the store and called Shen Yiran over.

Shen Yiran knew that the time had come, but it was difficult for him to dress casually, and he tried to cover it up poorly, so he was immediately seen through by the old lady.

"It's really hard to say, old lady, just promise me that you won't be angry."

The old lady said sternly: "This is not a joke. Our store has been through so many things recently. Someone must be playing tricks. You are not allowed to hide it!"

Only then did Shen Yiran mention Xu and Rong Qingqing.

The old lady was furious and immediately called Rong Qingqing and Xu.

Xu sat down, holding her stomach. She didn't take it seriously at first: "I was about to fall asleep, and when I got up, the baby kept kicking in my stomach."

Rong Qingqing also said, "My family's Tuantuan just fell asleep, and I'm worried. What's the matter that needs to be discussed at this time of night?"

Shen Yiran stood by, and no matter how many times Xu and Rong Qingqing looked at her, she didn't say a word.

The old lady scolded coldly: "You guys think you are members of the Marquis' Mansion. How can you use tricks to ruin the reputation of your own store?"

"Every bit of money you have is earned from the store's revenue. What are you planning?"

When Xu and Rong Qingqing heard this, they immediately pointed their fingers to the sky and the earth and cried out that they were innocent.

"Sister-in-law, you can't just push the blame onto us when you can't manage the store. If you want to push the blame onto someone, you should choose a good person. We haven't even been managers, so isn't this just making random accusations?"

The old lady had expected the two to do this, and gritted her teeth in anger: "Ran Ran, you tell me!"

Shen Yiran pretended to be embarrassed and said, "Old Madam, I think let it go. It hurts everyone's harmony. Anyway, I have solved the problem. I think my two sisters-in-law will not do this again in the future."

"I said we didn't do anything, but you're talking like we really did something!"

Shen Yiran looked up at the old lady and shook his head to indicate that he didn't want to say anything.

The old lady said, "Just tell me. If we don't make things clear today, no one will be sent away!"

After receiving the order, Shen Yiran began to talk about it one by one.

"First of all, the food poisoning issue. This should be done by my second sister-in-law, right? I have already caught the subordinate you ordered."

When Rong Qingqing heard this, she thought it was impossible, as he had already sent him out of the city to hide from the limelight.

"Haha, stop talking nonsense and show us the evidence if you have the guts!"

Shen Yiran took out the man's testimony and handed it to Rong Qingqing, not forgetting to add: "The old lady has just read it."

After Rong Qingqing read it, she realized that it was indeed the whole story, but she still refused to accept it.

"Who is this? I don't know him. How can you slander me with just a piece of paper?"

Shen Yiran glanced at Bai Zhi who was standing behind him.

"Second sister-in-law ordered the man to leave the city and hide. The shopkeeper found him and brought him back. He has just been brought to the old lady for questioning. He is still tied up in the back. I will bring him to meet Second sister-in-law."

Bai Zhi went out and gave an order, and the man was brought in as expected.

Rong Qingqing took a look and then looked away.

The old lady snorted coldly: "Do you have anything else to say?"

Rong Qingqing stammered for a long time but couldn't explain clearly. The man became anxious when he heard Rong Qingqing completely shirk the responsibility.

After all, Shen Yiran had told him that if more than three people were poisoned in the street, the government would charge them with poisoning and, depending on the circumstances, the offender would be imprisoned for up to three years.

"Madam, this is the Heartbreak Grass you gave me! But I was afraid, so I only dared to put a little at a time. Later I heard that the thing can kill people!"

Rong Qingqing's face turned pale, but she tried to argue, but the old lady ordered her to shut up.

"The witnesses are all here. How else do you want to explain? If you still don't admit your mistakes, what are you waiting for?"
