Heaven-Sent Farm Girl Builds Her Fortune And Captures His Heart-Chapter 163: Misjudgment

Shen Qinglan was dining with the Shen Family and the Dong Family when she faintly heard a commotion from downstairs.

She frowned slightly and stood up, saying, "Mother, you continue eating; I’ll go down for a moment."

"What’s going on? It sounds like someone is arguing," Dong Zhong couldn’t help but frown.

"It’s nothing," Shen Qinglan said. "Brother Ji should be able to handle it, just enjoy your meal!"

"Miss Shen, what’s happening downstairs?"

As she exited the elegant room, she saw Xuan Ming coming out from another room.

Shen Qinglan said, "I’m just going down to take a look."

"Let me accompany Miss Shen," he offered.

Shen Qinglan did not refuse.

As the two descended the stairs, they heard someone say, "You may not know, this restaurant used to be Yingchun Restaurant, run by this couple. Back then, I almost lost my life eating here!"

"Afterward, I reported it to the Government, and they shut down the establishment. Who would have thought they’d change the name and continue operating?"

"You’re lying!" Ji Nian shouted angrily, "Everyone else ate without issue, except you. You’re clearly framing them!"

The person arrogantly replied, "Are you questioning the Government’s competence, accusing them of wrongfully judging you?"

"Indeed!"

A cool voice rang out from the side.

"Dong... Qinglan!"

Ji Nian originally wanted to shout ’Dong Family,’ but remembered Shen Qinglan’s words and promptly corrected himself.

Shen Qinglan signaled him not to panic and stepped forward coldly, saying, "We are indeed questioning the Government’s proficiency."

The case was clear; Ji Nian and his wife were framed.

"Where did this wild girl come from, questioning the Government’s work?" 𝑓𝑟𝑒𝘦𝓌𝑒𝑏𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝘭.𝒸𝘰𝑚

The person retorted unpleasantly, "Be smart and shut the door yourself; don’t let anyone fall ill again."

"Everyone, please eat without worry; if there are any issues, Shengxiang Restaurant will take full responsibility!"

A slightly old but gentle voice came from the entrance.

Shen Qinglan looked over and saw Old Tang strolling in cheerfully.

Someone recognized Old Tang and curiously asked, "Oh, isn’t that Shopkeeper Tang from Shengxiang Restaurant? Why is he here?"

Old Tang glanced at Shen Qinglan and smiled at Ji Nian, "Brother Ji, you’ve worked hard. From now on, we’ll count on you to take care of Guest House!"

Ji Tang was a clever man; although puzzled by Old Tang’s words, he maintained an unruffled demeanor and said, "Shopkeeper Tang, it’s my honor to work for you!"

Shen Qinglan’s lips twitched slightly.

Such acting; if she hadn’t known beforehand that they weren’t close, she would have thought they were old friends.

"So, Guest House is also under Shengxiang Restaurant!"

The crowd realized suddenly.

"This..." The instigating person looked stunned.

"I recognize him!" Someone pointed at the man, "He’s a worker from Fenglai Restaurant across the street."

"So he’s a worker from across the street!" Some scoffed, "In that case, he pretended to be sick back then, causing the restaurant to shut down, right?"

"Probably got jealous seeing their business doing well," others chimed in.

The man began to panic, shaking his head repeatedly, saying, "No, I didn’t! Their food really was problematic!"

In reality, it was indeed his shopkeeper who had sent him to stir trouble, just like this time. He thought history would repeat itself, but unexpectedly, he hit a brick wall this time.

"This makes it clear that our Government indeed misjudged the situation!"

Another voice resonated from the entrance.

The crowd looked and saw County Magistrate Pei and Advisor Liu entering.

"It’s Lord County Magistrate!"

"Even Lord County Magistrate is here!"

The crowd stood up, as any lingering doubts about the relationship between Guest House and Shengxiang Restaurant were almost entirely dispelled.
