Chapter 97 Magic Against Magic: Going Mad is the Best Option
Han Yue was stunned. What kind of background did this small restaurant owner have that he dared to disregard the prefect's son?
Chen Ming was also dumbfounded. Could this really be used as a defense?
It's clearly a case of sophistry, but why does it give the impression that it makes perfect sense?
Lin Chang'er was also surprised. She knew that opening a restaurant in this era was just like opening a restaurant in later generations. You couldn't do it without someone behind you.
But is Uncle Pei really that tough?
From this perspective, the power of the person behind this must be at least above that of the prefect.
She glanced at Wu Qingfeng and Bai Shaoan almost unintentionally, perhaps she had underestimated their backgrounds.
Little Goldfish and Xu Gun'er were both involved in this matter, but Bai Shaoan was there to protect them.
Since Uncle Pei was so helpful, she wasn't in a hurry to start a fight; she would just play it by ear.
At this point, Han Yue argued again: "That's sophistry. No matter what you say, I had an accident in the restaurant's outhouse, and your restaurant can't escape responsibility."
Pei Sihai stroked his beard and said, “You’re wrong about that. Even if the incident happened in my restaurant.”
But it wasn't one of our restaurant staff who pushed you. The moment the incident happened, I asked the people working in the backyard.
According to them, some children in the backstreet were playing with firecrackers and accidentally threw one into the latrine.
That's why...
After pausing for a moment, Pei Sihai, wanting to appear more scholarly in front of other scholars, picked up his teacup, took a small sip, and continued, "We kindly lent you the outhouse, and you were frightened by outsiders. How can you blame us? In that case, our Sihai Restaurant is truly wronged."
Han Yue was shocked again, and almost got caught up in his trap.
"But, why would anyone be playing with firecrackers on a day that's neither a holiday nor a festival? I think it's just..."
His sharp gaze fell on Little Goldfish and Xu Gun'er. "I think Lin Chang'er was just angry that I caught them cheating on the spot, so she instigated these two kids to take revenge on me."
Are you crazy? You keep saying you caught someone cheating. Who do you think you are?
Lin Chang'er wore her disdain on her face. Anyway, it was Bai Shaoan who came up with the idea, and if something really happened, he would be the one to take the blame.
Given his relationship with Young Master Wu, it's impossible for Young Master Wu to ignore him.
Therefore, Lin Chang'er confidently picked up the teacup and splashed it in his face, saying, "You can eat whatever you want, but you can't say whatever you want."
If you dare to keep claiming to have caught me in the act, ruining my reputation and smearing my child, next time it might not be tea thrown in your face.
After a short while, he continued, "Yes, it's not a holiday or festival, so why would anyone play with firecrackers, especially when you, Han Yue, are in the outhouse?"
And as fate would have it, the firecracker just happened to blow up your crater.
Don't always shift the blame onto others. Think carefully about what you've done over the years, whether you've acted with a guilty conscience or not.
"You..." Han Yue wiped his face several times before he calmed down, then pointed at Lin Chang'er and cursed, "You heartless shrew! I was worried that you, an orphan, would have a hard time making a living, and I wanted to help you out, but you treat me like this..."
Lin Chang'er laughed out loud, "You take care of me? What makes you think you can do that? Have you forgotten who sponsored your education before?"
Seriously, what a big face you have! Why don't you go sell washbasins?
I'm not one to kick someone when they're down, but I'll be frank today: if I find out whose child has become a living god, I'll go and thank them properly.
They've taught their children to have such sharp eyes that they can smell the filth even through a wall...
"You..." Han Yue was speechless with anger, and at the same time surprised. Lin Chang'er used to be as gentle as water, and you couldn't even say anything harsh to her. How did she suddenly become so fierce today?
Could it be true, as Aunt Lin said, that he has been possessed by a demon?
He nodded to himself, thinking that must be it.
Otherwise, why would she stay at the Gu family's house instead of coming to find her?
Lin Chang'er's father had been kind to him, which was why he had been so tolerant. Since it wasn't her, he didn't need to be polite anymore.
Han Yue took several deep breaths to calm himself down before continuing, "I am a scholar, and I do not argue with women."
But out of respect for Uncle Lin, I'd still like to offer you some kind advice: take care of yourself.
"You son of a bitch!" Lin Chang'er grabbed the teacup and was about to step forward when Bai Shaoan quickly pulled her back, "Sister Lin, don't be impulsive!"
Xu Gun'er and Little Goldfish pretended to help stop them, one calling out "Mother" and the other "Sister".
"Let go, Bai Shaoan, let go!" Lin Chang'er was furious and no one could hold her back.
She hadn't forgotten about the Lin family and those scoundrels Han Yue; she was just too busy getting rich to pay attention to them. Who would have thought they'd come dancing in front of her like that?
If we don't crack his skull open today, are we going to keep him alive until the New Year?
Besides, magic defeats magic.
Han Yue is such a despicable person, he's just going to go crazy.
Lin Chang'er struggled, and Wu Qingfeng and Pei Sihai also pretended to dissuade her.
Pei Sihai said gently, "Chang'er, don't be impulsive. You are now one of the owners of our Sihai Restaurant. If you are wronged in your own home, I will not agree to it."
Wu Qingfeng also chimed in, "We all know what kind of person you are. Doing business together means we're family. You and Shao'an are about the same age, so if you get along well, no one will doubt that you're siblings."
It's just that some madmen, seeing this, will find their own hearts filthy, and naturally see others as filthy as well. There's no need to pay them any mind.
Having said that, he stepped in front of Lin Chang'er.
Lin Chang'er naturally took their words to heart, but with such a good opportunity, she naturally wanted to go a little crazy again.
Behind Wu Qingfeng, Han Yue cursed, "You're a scholar, you're aloof, you don't argue with women. Of course you wouldn't dare to argue with a woman."
You son of a bitch, you live off a woman, and you dare to argue with her?
It's just that Lin Dani is stupid. She really thought that if you passed the imperial examination, she could become a scholar's wife or an official's wife, which is why she foolishly supported you.
But don't forget, where did Lin Dani's money come from? It came from my family; it came from eating up my ill-gotten gains.
Han Yue, you call yourself a scholar, are you happy eating the spoils of a traitor?
Han Yue was frustrated. He usually thought he was eloquent, but today, when he met Lin Chang'er, who had turned into a shrew, he found himself speechless and unable to find any words to refute her.
Because it was indeed impossible for him to marry a country woman like Lin Dani.
However, he couldn't admit it. He hesitated for a moment, then finally spoke, "Nonsense! Da Ni and I grew up together. Our two families had long intended to arrange a marriage between us. Back when Uncle Lin asked me to discuss marriage with you..."
I also mentioned to him that the flowers bloom in pairs. Da Ni took care of me and helped me study, traveling from Linshui Village to the town. How could I possibly let her down?
As for where her money came from, Uncle Lin said, "In the afternoon, the family property was naturally inherited by the clan and brothers. The money just changed hands, so it's naturally her own money. What does it have to do with you? Why should I be unhappy or uneasy?"
