After her husband died, her parents came to force her to remarry

Chapter 265: A Serious Person

Jiang Xiaohe did not care about how Li Taohua and Chen Guifang were sentenced. She only heard someone behind her say that Li Taohua instigated Xie Sheng to kidnap Wang Qiuxia, and Li Taohua killed Xie Sheng, so she was directly sentenced to death. Chen Guifang helped bury the body and cover up the truth, so she was sentenced to exile.

It was really pitiful that she was exiled at such an old age. For a moment, the villagers felt sympathy for Chen Guifang.

After hearing that Chen Guifang and Li Taohua were arrested, Li Tieniu ran back home, turned the house upside down, and finally left happily with a lot of things in his arms.

When Jiang Xiaohe heard this, she felt that Chen Guifang had never taught her a good child.

After packing her bags, Jiang Xiaohe was ready to go to the county, after all, Meng Hetang was waiting there.

When I arrived at the county, I went to the shop first.

As soon as she saw Meng Hetang, Jiang Xiaohe secretly pulled her aside and asked about Mr. Wu.

Meng Hetang asked her to relax: "Now that it has been so long and we still haven't found Mr. Wu's body or any evidence of his murder, we can only close the case hastily. Besides, the court is in turmoil now, and the county magistrate also wants to..." He made an upward gesture.

"So he didn't want to get too involved in this matter, so as not to delay his promotion."

"Then the Chamber of Commerce will leave it at that."

Meng Hetang nodded: "Of course, Mr. Wu is missing, and there are many people who want to take his position, so everyone knows it clearly. If they can avoid mentioning this matter, they will naturally not mention it. So sister, you can now walk around the county with peace of mind, but..."

"But what?"

Meng Hetang pointed at the sign covered with red cloth outside and said, "You can't use the name of your shop in town on that sign anymore. If you use the name Li, people will know that you own the shop, and the Chamber of Commerce will not let us go."

Jiang Xiaohe nodded: "I understand this matter. I don't mind what the name is. Brother Meng will decide on this matter."

"readily!"

Meng Hetang took Jiang Xiaohe to visit the entire shop. This restaurant originally had two floors, but now Meng Hetang has added another floor on top of the original foundation. This added floor is much taller than the surrounding houses and looks unique.

Jiang Xiaohe was very satisfied. The entire restaurant with three floors could accommodate nearly a hundred tables of diners.

From the second floor to the third floor, there are private rooms and a lobby, and the environment is also very well decorated. There is a running water in the middle of the lobby facing the entrance on the first floor. Meng Hetang said that he knew this was not a good place for eating, and when summer comes, he will ask people to prepare ice cubes behind the running water. When the ice cubes melt, the running water will make the whole building cooler.

Jiang Xiaohe gave him a thumbs up.

Seeing that she was satisfied, Meng Hetang asked, "Brother has already done this. Now we just need to wait for your recipe, and then the restaurant can open for business."

Jiang Xiaohe looked at him with amusement: "Brother Meng, are you afraid that I will regret it?"

Meng Hetang smiled bitterly and said nothing. After all, he had been pestering Jiang Xiaohe for this business for quite some time. If she had not encountered difficulties when coming to the county this time, she would probably not have brought him along.

Jiang Xiaohe took out a piece of paper from her bosom and handed it to him: "On the way here, I also thought about it. Since I have cooperated with Brother Meng, I will naturally trust you in everything. This is the recipe for hot pot. Brother Meng, please keep it safe."

Meng Hetang's eyes lit up, and as he took the prescription, he said, "Don't worry, sister. Since you trust me, I will not let you down."

At night, Meng Hetang asked Jiang Xiaohe to stay at her house, but Jiang Xiaohe was unwilling. She felt uncomfortable staying in someone else's house, so it would be better to spend some money and stay in an inn.

But just as she stepped into the inn, Chang Wei came in.

As soon as he saw Jiang Xiaohe, he pretended to be surprised.

Jiang Xiaohe was somewhat speechless, but she still asked with concern, "Is Master Chang feeling better?"

Chang Wei waved his hand: "It's all right."

Then he asked Jiang Xiaohe: "I have completed what you asked me to do. Are you satisfied with the result?"

Knowing that he was talking about Li Taohua, Jiang Xiaohe bowed and said, "Thank you, Master Chang, for your help."

Chang Wei looked at her: "Just remember to owe me one more favor."

Jiang Xiaohe pursed her lips, said "oh", and went upstairs with her bag.

Manager Chang said to the innkeeper, "Give our master the room next to that lady."

The innkeeper glanced at Jiang Xiaohe who had already walked upstairs, and said righteously: "Sir, our inn is a true scripture shop!"

Manager Chang threw a silver ingot on the table and said, "Just do what I asked you to do. Why are you talking so much nonsense?"

When the shopkeeper saw the silver ingot, his eyes almost burst with laughter: "Okay, okay, I'll arrange it right away, right away."

When he handed the key to Manager Chang, he whispered, "Sir, let me tell you, there is a brick between the two rooms that can be moved."

Manager Chang glanced at Chang Wei, only to see Chang Wei put his fist to his mouth and cough.

Manager Chang immediately said to the shopkeeper in a bad mood: "What are you talking about? Our master is a serious man!"

The shopkeeper had seen many scenes like this: "Yes, yes, I was wrong."

Manager Chang snorted, took the key handed to him by the shopkeeper, turned around and gave the key to Chang Wei.

Chang Wei picked up the key and went straight upstairs.

After a day's journey, Jiang Xiaohe put away her bag, rested for a while, then gave some silver and asked the waiter to bring her a bucket of water upstairs so she could wash up.

Chang Wei next door was regulating his breath. People who practiced martial arts had more sensitive ears and noses than ordinary people. He opened his eyes when he heard the sound of water. He wanted to close his eyes and continue regulating his breath, but he felt that his breath became more and more chaotic.

When he turned around, he saw him prick up his ears and listen carefully to the sound of water coming from next door.

I just felt hot all over.

Thinking of what the shopkeeper said, he immediately saw which brick in the house was problematic. Just as he stretched out his hand to touch the brick, another hand grabbed that hand, muttering: "Chang Wei, are you a beast?"

But the hand couldn't help but pull the brick away.

The last slap hit me on the face, and then I came to my senses and realized what I had done!

If Jiang Xiaohe knew about this, she would probably ignore him for the rest of her life.

The sound of water from next door gradually faded away. Chang Wei slapped himself again. He missed such a good opportunity.

Then he lay down on the bed, put his head under his hands, crossed his legs, seemed helpless and speechless to himself.
