Chapter 130: Chapter 130: Lying Without Even Blushing

"Master Li, the recipes for spicy pickled cabbage and sour cabbage have already been sold to Yuelai Restaurant. Our family is just helping them with the production!"

"Is there really no other way?"

"This..."

"Scholar Yang, speak freely, there’s no harm!"

"Even if you knew the recipe, it’s too late; you’ve seen for yourself, we have stopped making the sour cabbage! The reason we’ve stopped is because if we make more, it will just spoil and rot away!"

"And what about making the spicy pickled cabbage?"

"There’s an ingredient in the spicy pickled cabbage that currently only Yuelai Restaurant has. Even if you knew how to make it, you couldn’t replicate it!"

Xiaoxiao listened to all this from the side, impressed with how capable her husband was at spinning lies without even a blush or a skipped beat, speaking so confidently that she herself almost believed him.

But even if he had managed to fool this old fox, could her sister-in-law really hold her ground? She was quite skeptical.

"To minimize losses, my suggestion is to sell your cabbages to Yuelai Restaurant as soon as possible. They have outlets in other counties too, so if our county has excess supply, they can transport it elsewhere. It’s surely better than letting it go bad here!"

Just as they were talking, the person who had been sent to gather information came back, whispered to Master Li, and then withdrew, "Scholar Yang, the house servant who went to gather news said that your son is currently at Dongfeng Restaurant; you can find him there."

"Thank you for your help, Master Li. I shall take my leave."

Yang Ming and Xiaoxiao thus left the Li Residence, not empty-handed; that Master Li would surely order Li Fugui to release those female workers, given his shrewdness he would not allow his son to do something so foolish!

"Yang Ming, you sure are something, lying without even turning red!"

"..."

"That old fox tricked us, Li Fugui isn’t even at Dongfeng Restaurant."

"So let’s wait around here. Once the Li Residence makes a move, we’ll follow!"

"Eh? There’s going to be another move? Didn’t they just make a move? Will we be able to wait for them?"

"Let’s just try our luck!"

"..."

Sure enough, after a short while, Master Li left the house with a house servant. He got into his sedan chair, and Xiaoxiao and the others followed behind him feeling incredibly nervous—this was her first time tailing someone!

They trailed all the way to a small courtyard, and before they even entered, they heard Li Fugui’s screams.

"You shrew! Gentlemen settle disputes with words, not violence!"

"Ah!"

"Help!"

"Ah!"

"..."

"..."

What in the world was going on? Was the kidnapper being beaten up by his captive? While she was wondering this, they heard her sister-in-law’s loud voice, "You still want the recipe? I’ll beat you to death first!"

"..."

When Master Li entered the courtyard, he saw his own son being chased around and hit by a woman, with his attendants trying to intervene—what a fool he had for a son, unable to handle even a woman, "Quickly, separate them!"

The house servants stepped forward and broke up the fight. Xiaoxiao and Yang Ming also entered the courtyard. Upon seeing them, Master Li said, "You followed me!"

Yang Ming stepped forward, "I was merely anxious to rescue someone, my apologies for the offense!"

"Hmpf," Master Li waved his hand dismissively, "Take your people and leave!"

Seeing the opportunity, Xiaoxiao quickly went up to her sister-in-law and whispered, "What about the others?"

"They left a while ago!" Her sister-in-law slapped her hands together as if she hadn’t had enough of the fight.

"We should leave quickly; this place isn’t safe to stay."

The three of them hastily left the courtyard. Once outside, "Sister-in-law, what do you mean the others left? Where are they?"

"Those cowards sold me out! Every single one of them, pah!"

"..." So everyone had conspired to sacrifice the sister-in-law? That was really
