Who doesn’t like cute little ladies? Not to mention knowing that they were just rescued from a pit where they were buried alive yesterday when facing these little ladies, people naturally feel more pity for them.

Although they don’t hate these little ladies, Lin Fei did help them by calling them away!

Ah Bing and Tang Yuan breathed a sigh of relief and lowered their heads to continue cooking.

It was naturally nice to have someone to chat with while cooking! But since cooking in a public kitchen was for wages, there couldn’t be any mistakes. They were not proficient at the moment. If one of them got distracted and put in too much or too little auxiliary ingredients such as oil, salt, sauce, and vinegar, or their hand shook and they put the vegetables in the wrong place, how could they remedy it? Besides, cutting vegetables was done with a kitchen knife, and a kitchen knife was also a knife. The knife used to cut meat and vegetables was naturally very sharp, and it was common to cut your hand if you were not careful.

After carefully preparing the remaining dishes, Wen Mingtang subconsciously glanced at the place where Lin Fei had just stood: looking at the majestic appearance, the calm and indifferent tone of his usual speech, and the name of “Shura” given by the world, after getting along with him, she found that this Shaoqing Lin was really cold on the outside but warm on the inside, born in a powerful family but only retaining the appearance of a nobleman, without any bad habits.

Strangely, such a Shaoqing who had not yet settled his marriage was not surrounded by a young lady!

Because Wen Mingtang and others did not make any mistakes in the middle of cooking when the food was ready, it was not time for the evening meal, so several people put down their work for the time being and walked into the public kitchen yard.

This walk, before taking two steps, saw a group of masters and servants outside the yard looking in!

It was no one else, but Third Miss Yuan and her group who fainted by a few crabs that day, who had not been seen for many days!

When they saw the group, Wen Mingtang, Ah Bing, and Tang Yuan looked at each other subconsciously, and they breathed a sigh of relief for no reason: Fortunately, Miss Chang and the others were scared back by Lin Fei! Otherwise, they would have bumped into Third Miss Yuan and her group… Who knows if Third Miss Yuan would leak it?

Third Miss Yuan and the maids around her obviously still remembered the crab incident that day. When they saw them, they muttered “We went the wrong way again” and turned around and left!

Tang Yuan couldn’t help but snorted coldly, and said, “Just leave when you see us? I would leave when I see them! We were just walking in the public kitchen yard, but they just wandered into the public kitchen! I was wondering if these few people did it on purpose, using the excuse of wandering around to touch the situation in the Dali Temple?”

As she was talking, she heard Liu Yuan’s voice coming from outside the yard: “Who came to our Dali Temple to find out the situation?”

People have three urgent things. When they came back from the toilet and passed the public kitchen yard, they heard Tang Yuan’s voice.

Seeing that it was Liu Yuan, Tang Yuan did not beat around the bush and started to tell the story of Third Miss Yuan and her group that she had just met. In the end, she could not help but ask, “Who knows if they did it on purpose?”

The speaker was unintentional, but the listener was intentional. Liu Yuan, who had just asked casually, changed his expression after hearing it, and then turned and left.

Tang Yuan was stunned by the posture of leaving without saying a word. When she reacted, she subconsciously turned to Wen Mingtang and asked, “Master Wen, what is Liu Sicheng doing…”

Wen Mingtang looked at Liu Yuan’s departing back, shook her head, lowered her eyes, and pondered for a moment, then said, “If I hadn’t met them just now, I would have almost forgotten about Third Miss Yuan and her group!”

The sickly Third Miss Yuan, who was like a beauty, had not appeared since she ate crabs privately to avoid interrogation that day, as if she had disappeared. Was it a coincidence that she appeared at this time? Or…

…

Wen Mingtang was not the only one who thought so. When Liu Yuan hurried back to the lobby, he ran into Bai Zhu walking out with a clerk holding a pen and paper. Liu Yuan understood at a glance: Bai Zhu was about to go over for interrogation!

At this moment, who else could Bai Zhu interrogate? So Liu Yuan hurriedly called Bai Zhu: “Are you going to interrogate Third Miss Yuan?”

Bai Zhu nodded and said, “She had also escaped for some time with the crab. It’s time to interrogate her!”

However, from the current evidence, the Yuan brothers and sisters, especially Second Master Yuan were more like a club, an open villain, and had little to do with what they were investigating now. But they still had to investigate! Especially Second Master Yuan, who was known to be not that easy to mess with in the local area, and he often bullied the weak by relying on his family power!

“People who are capable of doing things like borrowing lives naturally wouldn’t take the lives of ordinary people seriously, so it’s not surprising that they would do anything!” Bai Zhu said this, licking his lips, “Fortunately, he is not smart enough, otherwise…tsk tsk, it is truly terrifying when smart people do evil!”

Liu Yuan hummed but did not respond to Bai Zhu with a long speech as he did in the past. Instead, he pulled him aside, lowered his voice, and said, “When I passed by the public kitchen just now, I heard Tangyuan and the others saying that Third Miss Yuan and her group were running around again and ran to the public kitchen yard!”

As soon as these words came out, Bai Zhu, whose expression was relatively calm the moment before, became solemn the next moment, and subconsciously asked, “They were running around again?”

Liu Yuan nodded, and could not help but sneered twice, “They ran around to the public kitchen before because they wanted to frame the public kitchen for the crab incident; what do they want to do this time?”

The sarcasm and sharpness in the last sentence were obvious!

“Don’t have any prejudice before the matter is settled!” Bai Zhu glanced at Liu Yuan, paused, and then said, “But Third Miss Yuan and her group kept running around, are they unable to walk straight or are they deliberately trying to find out the situation?”

The division and layout of the courtyards of the various government offices in the country were extremely regular. Even a stranger who had set foot in the Dali Temple for the first time could easily find the lobby where officials work. After all, there was a long corridor at the entrance, and the sign at the end of the corridor was hung there. Anyone who was not blind could see it.

But Third Miss Yuan and her group were interesting. They could be found in the other courtyards every time!

Liu Yuan sneezed and touched his nose: “Yesterday, we were frozen for half the night, and finally rescued the buried alive, found the Yuan family tombstone shop, controlled Linliu Village, and got something. She came to our door today, and wandered around like a ‘headless fly’. How can we not be suspicious?”

The words were so clear, Bai Zhu glanced at him and nodded, “You don’t need to worry, don’t worry, I will pay attention to the reaction of this sick beauty during the interrogation!”

Originally, he thought this was just a sickly lady who was not valued by the family, but if it was really as they thought… Bai Zhu’s expression became serious: He was afraid this one was the one who was really difficult to deal with!
