[1] After Breaking Off My Marriage, I Became A Powerful Minister's Treasure

87-88

Chapter 87: Zhengzheng, why are you so good!

Eldest Young Master Wu immediately walked into the hall.

He looked at Mo Qingling and bowed. "My lord, they have wronged me."

Shi Qingluo sneered. "There are so many of us, how could all of us wronged you? Let me ask you, did you say that you would wait and see and wouldn't let the matter rest? And did you or did you not, insist on buying our formula?"

Eldest Young Master Wu choked. "I did say that, but that doesn't mean that I'm going to do anything to you!"

Shi Qingluo retorted, "So you did say it. It means that you intend to threaten us."

She emphasised, "Anyway, if something happens to my husband and I, it's definitely because of your Wu family."

Eldest Young Master Wu was speechless. How could this woman be so unreasonable?

He had come back with a bellyful of anger and was still thinking of abducting this wretched lass in two days' time.

If he were to do that now, forget about the other people in the county, even Magistrate Mo would probably keep an eye on their Wu family.

Aggrieved, too aggrieved.

He took a deep breath and said, "I was just asking politely if you were selling the formula. What's wrong with that?"

Shi Qingluo said, "Are you trying to treat everyone as fools?"

She snorted coldly and said, "Everyone heard what you threatened me yesterday and today. Stop trying to explain. You are explaining things just to cover the matters up."

The villagers who came along continued, "Yes, we all heard it."

"We didn't lie."

"We dare to swear that Eldest Young Master Wu really said those words." They had really heard this.

Eldest Young Master Wu was speechless. These idiots, why did they only listen to half of what he said.

He quickly realised why Shi Qingluo would suddenly say those inexplicable words yesterday.

So she was digging a hole for him.

He explained, "I didn't know that you wanted to release the formula to the public for free. Otherwise, I wouldn't want to buy it."

If he had known earlier that this was meant for the public free of charge, he would have let someone abduct her first.

Right now, he wasn't even getting the slightest bit of benefits, and still attracted a lot of attention.

Shi Qingluo raised her eyebrows. "You're treating everyone as fools again. Almost everyone in the county knows about this. How could you not know?"

When the onlookers heard this, they felt that Eldest Young Master Wu was really going overboard. They weren't idiots.

"Right, we've known for a long time. How could you not know? Stop pretending."

"Although your Wu family is a tyrant in Nanxi county, don't be arrogant in front of the lord."

"Stop quibbling. Quibbling means you are covering matters up."

There were many people here with the new county magistrate, so everyone was not afraid of the Wu family. They continued one after another.

Eldest Young Master Wu remained silent. He was so aggrieved that he was going crazy.

Now he really had an explanation but couldn't say it out loud. The more he tried to explain, the more complicated the matters got.
