Chapter 163: Partiality, Uncle makes the decision for me?
Yao Qingnian brought Yinuo into the city and came to the shop, only to see that there were many more people in the shop than usual. It turned out that Yao Qingnian had shown his prowess for the first time at the banquet that day. After asking around, everyone found out that Yao Qingnian was the owner of Qingnian Food House, and they all came to the shop because of his reputation.
Su Yanyan did not inform the county magistrate about this matter and returned to the mansion as if nothing had happened.
Looking at the stain on her face, Su Yanyan was furious and wanted to wash it off, but she didn't know what Yao Qingnian had added and it couldn't be washed off at all.
She could only hide in the house all day and curse Yao Qingnian, and she seemed to have forgotten about the five thousand taels.
The news of Su Yanyan and Yao Qingnian's bet spread throughout the city. Upon hearing this, the county magistrate flew into a rage. He immediately returned home to the backyard and kicked open the door of the room: "Su Yanyan! I can't control you anymore! Go pack your things and go back home."
"Uncle, what's wrong? Why are you so angry?" Su Yanyan didn't know that this matter had spread outside.
"What's wrong? Don't you know what you have done?" County Magistrate Zhao Chengfeng was furious. This girl had caused such a big disaster and yet she dared to ask him what was wrong.
Su Yanyan realized something was wrong and signaled the maid to go and get the old lady.
"Uncle, you are talking about the banquet, right? Look, my face is painted so hard that I don't even have the face to go out and see people. That Yao Qingnian is just a country girl, but she is so arrogant. You have to teach her a lesson for me." Su Yanyan pulled Zhao Chengfeng's sleeve and said coquettishly.
"Do you know who Yao Qingnian is? A village girl?! Then she is also a different village girl! If you can match one of her fingers, you are awesome!"
"She is just a country woman. Is she worthy of your protection? How can Yanyan not compare to her?" Su Yanyan was not convinced. Her uncle was really old and confused. He actually compared her with a country girl.
"You! It's fine if you don't have a brain on weekdays. I always tell you to be low-key. Look at what good things you have done."
"What's wrong with me! Is it necessary for you to do this, uncle? If you don't want me to stay in the county magistrate's mansion, then fine. But why do you have to make fun of Yanyan like that? I'll just leave. I'll pack up and go home now. I won't be an eyesore to you here!" Su Yanyan's eyes were filled with tears, and she looked so pitiful. The county magistrate's forehead was throbbing with anger because of his niece.
"You still think you're right, don't you? You can go back, but have you forgotten the bet you made with that person? Five thousand taels, you have to pay the other person back first, and then get back here!" Five thousand taels, with just his salary, how could he give the money to Su Yanyan, the troublemaker?
"Uncle, does Yao Qingnian dare to come to the county magistrate's mansion to ask for this silver? We won't give it to her." Thinking of this, Su Yanyan panicked. On the day of the banquet, she had used all her previous items as bets, so where would the silver be? Even if she hadn't gambled, she couldn't take it out. Five thousand taels... She is not Jiang Ruoyin, who can take it whenever she wants.
"Asshole! How dare you say such things! You have ruined the reputation of my county magistrate's office! Today I must teach you a lesson." Zhao Chengfeng raised his hand and slapped her hard.
"Stop! Feng'er! Yanyan is a girl, what will you do if you hurt her face?" Old Madam Zhao rushed over after receiving the message from the maid. She watched Su Yanyan grow up and always responded to her requests. She treated her better than her own mother. It was because of this that Su Yanyan became even more unscrupulous.
"Grandma! Wuuwu...you have to make the decision for me. My uncle is helping outsiders to bully his granddaughter." With the support of Old Madam Zhao, Su Yanyan felt more confident. She knew that her uncle listened to her grandmother the most. Knowing this, she was not afraid of her uncle at all.
"Oh, Yanyan, what's painted on your face! Don't cry, grandma will take care of it for you!" When Old Madam Zhao saw the turtle on her face, she was stunned, and then wiped Su Yanyan's tears with heartache.
"Mom! Do you know what she has done?" Zhao Chengfeng really wanted to cry but had no tears. This niece had learned to be scheming at such a young age. What would happen in the future?
"Just solve the problem of what you did. Why are you so fierce?" Old Madam Zhao sat down.
"Oh my god! This girl lost five thousand taels of silver in a bet with someone outside. Where can my son find five thousand taels of silver with his meager salary to compensate her?"
"Five thousand taels?! Yanyan, what's going on!" Even though she loved Su Yanyan so much, she was shocked when she heard the five thousand taels.
"Grandma, my granddaughter has been deceived, so I asked my uncle to make the decision for me!" Su Yanyan buried her head in Madam Zhao's arms guiltily.
"Fraud?! Was someone forced you to write the bet?" Zhao Chengfeng had already sent people to investigate the matter, otherwise he would not have come to question Su Yanyan. It was obvious that she was asking for trouble and provoking Yao Qingnian to sign the bet.
"Since it's a scam, Chengfeng, why don't you catch that man and interrogate him? These five thousand taels are no joke." Old Madam Zhao has not yet realized the seriousness of the matter.
"Mother! My son is just a small county magistrate! You are happy to see my career ruined by Su girl, right? If this gets out, will my reputation be ruined? If someone tries to interfere with my son, his career as an official will be over." Zhao Chengfeng was so anxious that he jumped to his feet.
"It's not as exaggerated as you say." After hearing her son say this, Mrs. Zhao realized that things seemed to have gotten a little out of hand.
"Mother, I can't let you protect her this time. You must stay in the house for the next two days and don't go anywhere! I will tell your parents about this right away! Let them handle this matter! Take care of yourself!"
Zhao Chengfeng swung his sleeves angrily and ordered the servants in the mansion to keep an eye on Su Yanyan and not let her out no matter who came.
"Grandma, what should we do?" Su Yanyan said while sobbing.
"Yan Yan, you stay here and listen to your uncle's arrangements." No matter how much she loved her granddaughter, her son's career was affected, and it was no joke. Realizing the seriousness of the matter, Mrs. Zhao did not show any favoritism anymore. She just asked Su Yanyan to stay here and she went to find out the news first.
"Grandma, you must help Yanyan, otherwise even if I go back, my parents will beat me to death."
"You kid! What nonsense are you talking about! Nanny, please take good care of my cousin." After saying this, Madam Zhao left with her people.
After Madam Zhao left, Su Yanyan paced back and forth in the room, picked up the teacup at hand, smashed it hard on the ground, and cursed viciously: "This damn Yao Qingnian, she lived a good life. If it weren't for her, she wouldn't be in the current situation. Five thousand taels... What should she do..."
