These words made Mrs. Liu angry to death. This was the biggest reason why she was still cursing after her mother and aunt were called to the doctor and confirmed that they were fine when they returned home.
Boss Ning actually hated what he said to Zhou Zilin.
However, now at least on the surface, he can't do anything to this rogue couple.
After all, people around the Liu family heard clearly what Zhou Zilin said when he left the Liu family today.
If anything happens to Zhou Zilin, he will definitely put the blame on his head.
Therefore, Boss Ning secretly gritted his teeth and thought that sooner or later, he would have to teach that foul-mouthed couple a lesson.
Mrs. Liu finally calmed down under the comfort of Boss Ning.
In addition, the shops and restaurants are about to open, and there is no energy to worry about the affairs of those unimportant people.
Ning Pengpeng stayed in Dahuaishu Village until the fifteenth day of the first lunar month. After that, she was ready to return to Mingzhou Mansion. After all, her children's studies could not be delayed.
On the day of the Lantern Festival, Mr. Ning and his wife also came back to celebrate the Lantern Festival together in the evening.
Although the shops and restaurants are still open, as owners, they still have this freedom.
When the whole family was enjoying their meal, they heard a tapping sound from the door.
Hearing the commotion, the Ning family sat in the living room and turned their heads curiously to look at the courtyard gate.
As the servants went to open the courtyard door, they saw a team of police officers walking in quickly from outside.
The leading detective looked around and pointed at Mr. Ning and his wife.
"Get the suspect."
Hearing the words of the head catcher, the catchers held up the shackles in their hands and rushed toward Boss Ning and Liu like wolves and tigers.
When Ning Pengpeng saw this, she slammed the table hard, stood up, and asked in a deep voice.
"May I ask this official why he locked up my son and daughter-in-law?"
The leading catcher glanced at Ning Pengpeng and replied with an arrogant expression.
"Of course they have committed a crime, and they are just waiting around."
Hearing what the catcher said, several of the catchers who came with him looked at each other. The new catcher Ye was transferred from Pengzhou Prefecture.
I don't know much about what's going on in Anzhen.
One of the agents with slightly dark skin and small eyes thought about it for a moment, then stepped forward and whispered into Captain Ye's ear.
"Captain Ye, this old lady Ning knows Mr. Li.
The vegetables in the greenhouses of the government are all the work of this old lady Ning."
He just said this because he wanted Mr. Ye to know that the old lady in front of him was not an ordinary old country woman.
Moreover, everyone has benefited a lot from the greenhouse vegetable business.
Unexpectedly, when Captain Ye heard what the dark-skinned and small-eyed detective said, his originally arrogant face turned cold, he glanced at him sideways and said.
"Agent Liang, are you talking about Mr. Li's connection with this old woman?"
When Agent Liang heard this, he was startled for a moment, and then he became furious and wanted to make things clear to him.
However, he was pulled over by other detectives behind him, and they whispered to him to stay out of trouble, lest he get into trouble.
Captain Liang was so angry that his dark face turned purple.
Ning Pengpeng heard clearly what Captain Ye and Captain Liang said, and he was immediately furious.
She glanced at Qingniang who was staying in the corner and was going to get something. Qingniang immediately understood and immediately disappeared towards the old lady's bedroom.
Captain Ye didn't notice it at all, but the other agents who noticed it looked at each other and pretended not to notice.
"Captain Ye, do you have any evidence for what you said?
If not, what crime should be committed by falsely accusing the official and his wife?"
When Ning Pengpeng saw Qing Niang leaving quietly, she turned coldly and asked Ye Shatou.
When Mr. Ye heard this, he was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect that this old country woman would be so bold and dare to talk to him like this.
Mr. Li is not present. At worst, when Mr. Li asks about it, he can just deny it.
Moreover, when he thought of the old woman's restaurant and shop in front of him, Mr. Ye's heart felt very hot.
It is nonsense to talk about falsely accusing the current official and his wife. He can still understand that the official is talking about Mr. Li. Could it be that the latter is talking about this old woman?
Captain Ye asked this question with disdain on his face.
"The old lady is a member of the sixth rank of An, personally granted by His Majesty, how dare you say such arrogant words?"
But as soon as he finished speaking, Qing Niang walked in proudly, holding the imperial edict uniform of the Sixth Grade Anren in her hand.
After handing the tray to Aunt Tan, she took the clothes directly from the tray and put them on Ning Pengpeng's body.
When Ye Captou saw the imperial uniform draped on Ning Pengpeng, his eyes suddenly widened, filled with surprise and suspicion.
Unexpectedly, there is a destined woman in this countryside.
The news he had received before was that all the Ning family were born with mud-legged backgrounds.
Now, how come there is an imperial edict?
When he thought of what he had just said, Mr. Ye's face suddenly turned pale.
His eyes kept turning, trying to find a perfect solution, when he heard Mrs. Ning pointing at Captain Liang who he had scolded just now and saying.
"Captain Liang, who is this Capt. Ye? How dare you slander Ben An and Mr. Li like this?"
Upon seeing this, Detective Liang stepped forward and saluted Ning Pengpeng.
"Back to Anren, Mr. Ye has just come from Pengzhou Prefecture and is not very familiar with the affairs of Anzhen."
"Really? Even if Capt. Ye doesn't know that I, His Majesty's professed Anren, should not slander Lord Li!
After all, it’s impossible that he doesn’t know Mr. Li, right?”
When Captain Ye heard Ning Pengpeng and Captain Liang singing in harmony, the sweat on his forehead flowed down like a waterfall.
"This...little man doesn't know that the old lady is the imperial wife. I have offended many people, but I hope you can forgive me."
After saying that, Captain Ye changed his previous arrogance, raised his hand, and slapped his face several times.
"However, because Mrs. Zhou Liu, the wife of the Zhou family, accused Ning Youfu and his wife of seeking wealth and murder, the villain got anxious, spoke uncontrollably, and bumped into the old lady."
After saying that, he bowed respectfully to Ning Pengpeng and told Mrs. Ning the reason why she came to Ning's house today.
When Boss Ning and Mrs. Liu heard this, their eyes widened immediately.
"Nonsense, whose fortune are we seeking and whose life is being harmed?
We, husband and wife, spent the whole day in our respective shops and restaurants, and then went back to the village to have dinner. Where would we have time to harm others?
】
Moreover, with the shops and restaurants our Ning family has now, whose wealth do we need to look at?"
After Boss Ning finished his angry rebuke, when he was thinking about which bastard was wronging him, Liu's face suddenly turned pale.
"Shi Zhou Liu? Could it be the third sister?"
Liu asked blurtly.
When Boss Ning heard his wife's words, he suddenly looked at her with some disbelief on his face.
