Chapter 448 - 448: The Backer Backed Off



Steamed Bun Liu regretted his actions back then. He regretted saving that beast. Had he let He Yuqing starve to death on the streets, his daughter would not have suffered like this.

“Why didn’t he jump into the river back then to protect his dignity? Why did he lie at our door and beg for food like a shameless dog? Oh! Now that he’s alive, he’s humane. He started talking about dignity! What a heartless thing. In order to forcefully occupy our family’s assets, he abused his wife and daughter. Is adultery dignity? Is it not beneath his dignity to do all kinds of dirty things?

How can something worse than an animal be worthy of the word dignity!”

When Liu Yulian heard her father’s words, she muttered to herself, “That’s right! Since you want dignity and face, why don’t you jump into the river and hang yourself to preserve your dignity? Only after eating and wearing warm clothes did you think of dignity and face. You’re just looking for an excuse to hide his shameless actions.”

After Steamed Bun Liu finished scolding, he took a deep breath and told Liu Yulian everything he had found out.

“Lian’er, the shops and fields at home have been occupied by that He Yuqing. Now, a noble is willing to help us write a complaint and testify for us. What do you think?”

Liu Yulian looked at her father’s worried gaze and thought to herself that her father was worried that she would have to face those rumors after hel went to court. What else can compare to being tied up like livestock and beaten up? Someone who could treat his wife and daughter like that was even more vicious than a poisonous snake.

“Father, if we don’t kill the snake, we’ll cause further harm to ourselves. Thief He and my Liu family are already irreconcilable enemies. Even if we take a step back and tolerate him, that beast won’t let us off. Instead, it will fuel his arrogance. Now that a noble is willing to help us, I want to sue. I want to cut ties with him. I want to peel off his skin and let the world see that he’s a devil in human skin.”

Steamed Bun Liu looked at his daughter with sparkling eyes. “My daughter is still the boldest. I originally promised Lord Zhou, but when I returned to the house and saw you and Ling’er, I gave up and thought of enduring my anger and returning to our hometown. I didn’t expect him to not let us off. I’ll beg Lord Zhou to help us write a complaint and sue him.”

The father and daughter reached a consensus. Steamed Bun Liu returned to the hall and told Zhou Jia what Liu Yulian had said. “Sir, my daughter gave her dowry shop and savings to that fellow. She didn’t see him fornicating with that Country Lord with her own eyes. That animal locked her up because he wanted the deeds to the restaurant and the fields. ”

When Zhou Jia, Mr. Wen, and the others heard Steamed Bun Liu’s words, they gasped. If saving He Yuqing was considered hypocritical. Could it be that they had to worship him as their ancestor to be considered truly benevolent? There was actually such a cold and vicious person in the world.

Zhou Jia thought for a while and said to Steamed Bun Liu, “If you catch a thief, you’ll get dirty. If you want to catch an adulterous couple, you can’t bring Country Lord Ning down without solid evidence. You’ll sue He Yuqing for encroaching on the family assets, disobeying you, and beating your daughter in order to get his hands on the dowry. When the time comes, your daughter will go to court. You have to be mentally prepared.”

Steamed Bun Liu bowed and said, “Sir, don’t worry. Originally, I had already given up. She was the one who said that she wanted to sue and tear off He Yuqing’s human skin to reveal his evil face.”

“Okay, bring me a pen and ink. I’ll help you write your complaint.”

Zhou Jia helped him write the complaint and asked Zhao Cai to accompany him to the Linjing County office to hand over the complaint before getting into the carriage with Mr. Wen and returning to the manor.

The county magistrate of Linjing County received the complaint and saw that the person who wrote it was actually the Minister of Revenue. Thinking that after the farmstead of at Wang Family Village was confiscated, it was bestowed to the Minister of Revenue by His Majesty, the county magistrate panicked. Seeing that He Yuqing had occupied Steam Bun Liu’s house and fields, he felt indignant when he saw the crimes written in the complaint. He hurriedly sent constables to Hengshan Town to investigate.

Thinking that a vicious thing had actually happened under his rule and that the complaint was personally written by the Minister of Revenue, the county magistrate of Linjing County had a headache. He hurriedly asked someone to check the dossier to see if it was true. Seeing that the businesses listed in the complaint had indeed been changed by He Yuqing, he hurriedly asked the assistant to investigate who had abused the law and why He Yuqing had done this.

He Yuqing chased after Country Lord Ning all the way. Seeing that the carriage was not returning to Linjing County but straight to the capital, he thought to himself that something was wrong. He licked his lips and chased all the way to the country lord’s residence. He wanted to go forward and beg Country Lord Ning to protect him on account of their past relationship.

Country Lord Ning lifted a corner of the curtain and took a look. She saw that He Yuqing, who had gotten out of the carriage and was walking towards hers, had scratches and teeth marks on his face and couldn’t help but feel disgusted. She said to the granny standing under the window, “How inauspicious. Go, chase him away and warn him to shut his mouth.”

The granny bent her knees in agreement and walked over to stop He Yuqing.

She looked at him disdainfully and said, “Country Lord Ning said to let you go. Remember not to mention Country Lord Ning in front of others in the future or come to the residence to pester her again. Otherwise, I’ll teach you a lesson.”

He Yuqing pushed the granny away and rushed towards the carriage. He shouted, “Country Lord, you can’t leave me behind for too long!”

“Shameless pretty boy, get lost!” The two guards scolded. They went forward, grabbed him, and threw him out. He Yuqing fell to the dusty ground with a bang.

The shopkeeper hurriedly went forward and helped him up. “Master, you should go and treat the injuries on your face first. You also have to nourish your front teeth.”

He Yuqing turned around and looked gloomily at the guards standing in front of the country lord’s residence before he limped up the carriage and left in a sorry state.

The shopkeeper drove him to the entrance of the medical center. He Yuqing closed his mouth tightly and pointed at the injuries on her face. He smiled apologetically at the doctor and said, “Doctor, can you take a look at these injuries and see if they can recover?”

The doctor checked the scratches and teeth marks on He Yuqing’s face and shook his head. “I’m afraid it’ll be difficult to recover from the bite marks and scratches for a while. I can only make a poultice to wipe them off first.” The shopkeeper looked at He Yuqing. “Master, what do you think?”

He Yuqing nodded angrily and muttered to himself, “Old thing, I’ll take your life when I recover.”

The shopkeeper looked at He Yuqing’s sinister gaze and thought about what had happened today. Also, Country Lord Ning was unwilling to even see him. He Yuqing’s backer had left, so it was time for him to consider his retreat.

He Yuqing took out the ointment he had concocted and waited for the dentist to set his teeth before getting into the carriage and rushing back. He touched his front teeth and thought about how he would have to pick his false teeth for three meals a day in the future. He clenched his fists hatefully.

The carriage had just returned to the residence in the county city when he instructed the shopkeeper, “Go back to Hengshan and go to Dali Restaurant. Get someone to chase that father and daughter away.”

The shopkeeper glanced at He Yuqing and persuaded, “Master, Steamed Bun Liu is your father-in-law after all and has good culinary skills. Now that the Country Lord Ning is also… why don’t you let him stay so that he won’t complain everywhere? Also, Madam has been found. Don’t be too ruthless, lest you have no way out in the future.”

He Yuqing said angrily, “If I tell you to go, go. You’re so long-winded.”

He Yuqing watched as the shopkeeper walked away. Retreat? The house, farmland, and restaurant were all under his name now. “I still have to leave a way out. Just looking at the Liu family makes me so disgusted that I can’t even swallow my food..”
