Chapter 87: Pretty Boy Xiao Bai and Square-Faced Penny Pincher_1
Mu Zhongli was shocked to hear this, almost coughing up blood, he glared fiercely at his useless son, turning to Caiwei, he pitifully said: "Wei...my dear niece, I——"
"You? What else do you have to say?"
Caiwei interrupted him, her eyes filled with mocking, her laughter cold, not reaching her eyes: "Don’t call me your niece anymore, to avoid tarnishing my ears. Did you really think I wouldn’t see through your sleazy plots, sending your butcher’s son to harass Butcher Zhang, ruin our reputation, then going to the Clan Leader, forcing us to submit, ending in trying to rob us, thinking everything would go as planned, Mu Zhongli, your retribution today is divine justice!"
Mu Zhongli was choked, his lips trembling: "I, I ..."
What he initially intended was to beg Caiwei to plead for him, since she is wealthy now and her words would carry weight, but seeing her cold expression and hearing her ruthless sarcasm, he realized it’s all useless. Besides, the bailiffs who came today were most probably arranged by her, he closed his mouth and was led away, his face ashen...
The moment the bailiffs left, Caiwei bowed and said to An Qiyun: "Thank you, County Magistrate An, for your righteous action."
An Qiyun smiled: "Punishing the wicked and rooting out the corrupt is the duty of the government, there’s no need for thanks, instead, I have a small request to ask of Miss. Can you grant it?"
Caiwei promptly said: "Please tell, Miss will do her best."
As it turns out, tomorrow is the seventieth birthday of An Qiyun’s mother. All his brothers are influential figures and they’ve prepared an abundant feast for their mother’s birthday banquet. Recently, grilled meat skewers majorly trended, and people who’d tasted it claimed it to taste better than any mountain and sea delicacies, so the brothers decided to add grilled meat skewers to the banquet menu.
