My husband needs to take some time to pacify his stomach, as he has to go out to do errands soon."

"Husband, it's time to have lunch in about half an hour. It's not too late for you to go out after lunch."

Young Master Liu ate a few pieces of pastries, raised his head and drank the tea in the cup, and then took a deep breath.

"Huh, I've almost eaten for my husband."

"Husband, how much have you eaten just now? No matter how much you eat, it won't waste much time."

Young Master Liu waved his hand, put the teacup on the table, picked up a bunch of grapes from the saucer, and strode out of the main hall.

"Qing Shi, don't forget to tell your sister Yun and the others later, so you don't have to wait for your husband to have lunch."

When Yun Qing saw this, he lifted up his skirt and ran after him.

"Husband, husband."

Young Master Liu looked back at the beauty who was chasing him, and waved his hand directly.

"Qing Shi, that's what I said, my husband will go out first."

Yun Qingshi stopped and nodded helplessly.

"Okay, I understand.

By the way, husband, if you see something delicious on the street, don’t forget to buy some.”

"I know, I know, go and do your own thing."

Young Master Liu ate the grapes in his hand and walked all the way to the gate of Liu Mansion.

"Liu Song, what are you doing so stupidly?"

Liu Song, who was dozing on the recliner, suddenly jumped up and sat up when he heard his young master's greeting.

"Master, the younger one is here."

"Come here, the young master has something to tell you."

"Hey, little one, come here."

Liu Song hurriedly ran to Young Master Liu and bowed respectfully.

"Master, what are your orders?"

Young Master Liu turned his head and spit out the grape skins in his mouth, then whispered into Liu Song's ear.

After a while, Mr. Liu patted Liu Song on the shoulder, gently pulled off a grape, and walked slowly and slowly towards the door of the mansion.

"Go ahead."

"Yes, I would like to send you off to the young master."

After leaving home, Young Master Liu walked up and down the street, and finally came to the Penglai Restaurant run by sisters Xue Bizhu and Huang Lingyi.

After Mr. Liu entered the restaurant, he casually glanced at the guests in the restaurant and walked towards the counter unhurriedly.

Looking at Xue Bizhu, who was sitting on the stool and looking through the account books attentively, Young Master Liu tapped his fingers lightly on the counter.

"Bizhu."

Xue Bizhu heard a familiar voice and subconsciously looked up.

"Husband?"

"Why, am I so surprised to see my husband?"

Xue Bizhu picked up the pen and made a mark on the account book, stood up and walked out of the counter.

"Husband, why are you here at this time?"

The beauty walked up to Young Master Liu and asked softly with a puzzled expression.

Liu Mingzhi looked at Xue Bizhu's confused expression, winked at the beauty, shook the folding fan in his hand and walked towards the second floor of the restaurant.

"Dunzi."

"From the shopkeeper?"

"You take a look at the counter first. I'll be back in a moment."

"I understand, shopkeeper, you go ahead and do your work."

Xue Bizhu casually informed the younger brother next to him and quickly followed Mr. Liu.

Young Master Liu entered the boudoir where Xue Bizhu and the two sisters lived, walked to the table and sat down.

Xue Bizhu closed the door, walked to Young Master Liu and poured a cup of herbal tea from the pot.

"Husband, what's wrong?"

"Didn't Bizhu, Yaoyao, and Cheng Qian, the two siblings, say that they arranged those people who were imprisoned unjustly into the restaurant?

Where are those people now?"

Young Master Liu took a sip of the tea handed over by the beautiful woman, looked up at her and asked softly.

Xue Bizhu breathed a sigh of relief when she heard her husband's question.

"Hey, husband, you are asking these questions, and I thought something big had happened!"

"Bizhu, you have to know that people's livelihood is no small matter for officials to govern."

"Yes, yes, I know I was wrong.

Husband, they are all in the backyard of the restaurant now!"

Liu Mingzhi put down his tea cup, stood up and walked towards the back window of the room.

"Is everyone here?"

"A total of one hundred and twenty-six people, all living in the backyard!"

Young Master Liu opened the window, leaned forward and looked downstairs.

"What, they all live in the backyard?

Bizhu, with more than a hundred people, can we live in the backyard of the restaurant?"

Xue Bizhu walked to Young Master Liu and stopped, leaning Liu's waist and leaning out of the window, sighing helplessly with a pretty face.

"Husband, there are only so many rooms in the backyard, how can it possibly accommodate more than a hundred people?

Since Yaoyao and Cheng Qian settled these people in, I and my sister Lingyi have asked them more than once to separate some of them and temporarily live in the guest rooms on the third and fourth floors.

But no matter what I and my sisters say, they just don't want to."

"What's going on? Are they worried that the restaurant will charge them rent?"

Xue Bizhu heard her husband's surprised tone, shook her head and sighed softly.

"Oh, no, it has nothing to do with the rent.

The reason why they don't want to live on the third or fourth floor is because they are afraid of affecting the business of my sister's restaurant.

Those young and strong men among the common people gave up all the rooms in the backyard to the old, weak, women and children inside.

As for themselves, they would rather rest in the courtyard than in the guest room.

My sisters tried to persuade me several times, but they still disagreed.

In the end, there was no choice but to let it go.

I have to say that our Dalong people are still very kind and honest!"

After listening to the beauty's explanation, Liu Mingzhi leaned over and looked at the more than a hundred people gathered in groups in the courtyard, discussing something in low voices, and sighed with deep eyes.

"Yes, what a kind and honest people.

It's a pity that some bastards who deserve death are relying on the simplicity and kindness of the people to bully and squeeze them.

Not only did they get imprisoned unjustly, but...

He also planned to take the lives of these people.

It seems that these beasts deserve to die, and their husbands can’t wait to... phew..."

Liu Mingzhi breathed hard for a few times, closed the folding fan and handed it to Xue Bizhu's hand.

Xue Bizhu took the engraved jade fan from her husband, a look of doubt flashed in her beautiful eyes.

"Husband, what are you doing?"

"It's nothing. My husband plans to go down there and have a look."

"Husband, do you plan to go and listen to what the people are talking about in person?"

Liu Dashao smiled and nodded, raised his hand to caress the beauty's pretty face, turned around and walked behind the screen.

After half a cup of tea, Mr. Liu put on an ordinary scholar's Confucian robe and walked out from behind the screen.

"Bizhu, does my husband look like an ordinary scholar now?"

Xue Bizhu saw what Mr. Liu was wearing, held his cheeks and pondered for a moment.
