Chapter 44 Drama
"Never mind, Miss, drink some duck soup first, it smells so good!"

Unlike her own young lady, Yuyan didn't care much for the urban atmosphere outside the window. What she cared about were the dishes on the table. Not to mention the tempting appearance of the whole roast duck that was browned and oily, even the stomach-warming duck soup that was served first, the aroma made her appetite growl.

"Didn't you eat a lot of snacks just now? You're not full yet."

Shu Yunfu looked at the greedy girl helplessly and chuckled. This girl was very scared of being hungry when she was a child, and she hasn't changed her greedy habit until now. Fortunately, she followed her, so this girl can eat whatever she wants.

However, because of her gluttony, this girl's cooking skills have become so good that she can perfectly replicate various modern delicacies under her training, which is a blessing for herself.

"Hehe! Miss, you know that as long as it's delicious, I like it!"

She took a sip of the fragrant duck soup and it was so delicious that her big eyes narrowed into slits.

"This chef's cooking skills are really good." He took a sip of the duck soup, and it tasted really good. "But even if it tastes good, you have to eat it in moderation. If you like it, I'll bring you here next time. Don't overeat."

"Miss is the best, slave...ah! Miss, look!"

Yuyan smiled ingratiatingly and was about to act coquettishly when suddenly her eyes lit up and she pointed at the group of people coming down aggressively and shouted, "It's going to be a real show!"
"That is……"

Looking in the direction she pointed, I saw a luxurious carriage that was out of place with the surroundings parked in an alley not far away.

A lady dressed in rich and gorgeous clothes was standing outside the carriage, with a fierce look on her face, directing a group of strong servants holding sticks behind her to break down the door.

Anyone who saw his ferocious appearance would know that he was coming with bad intentions!
"I'm afraid this isn't the wife of the family coming to catch him cheating."

The waiter who was serving the dishes saw that the two people were distracted by the excitement below, and couldn't help but say something extra. But as soon as he finished speaking, he regretted it so much that he almost slapped himself in the face.

He forgot that this was not an ordinary customer in the restaurant. This customer looked like a lady from a noble family and a sophisticated person. How could he have lost his tongue for a moment? What if this distinguished customer was displeased by his rude words and got angry? He would not be able to bear the consequences.

Shu Yunfu had no idea of ​​the waiter's regret. She just looked at him with interest, "Oh! You know?"

"This……"

He accidentally said the wrong thing, and the waiter was very nervous. How could he continue?
"I'm just listening for fun. Go ahead and talk. It's okay."

He winked at Yuyan, who immediately understood and took out a two-liang silver coin and put it into the waiter's hand. Although the young lady was rich, every penny was earned by the young lady and Annan through hard work, so she couldn't spend it lavishly.

"Hey! Thank you, sir. I will tell you about it."

Not only did he not offend the customer, but he also received a reward of two taels of silver. The waiter was so happy that he grinned with his not-so-white teeth and couldn't stop smiling.

"Actually, this is not the first time such a thing has happened. Most residents around here know what happened." "It's not a rare thing. Our South City is not like West City where there are nobles everywhere. They are either royal relatives or high-ranking officials. Most of them are merchants or small officials with low official positions. Although they are not as noble as those in West City, they are still not bad."

"And those nobles, if they have a mistress or something, they like to place it in the South City. There are quite a few of them. But what they did is not impenetrable. Now the wife of the family came to catch them cheating. If the matter is not exposed, who knows who lives in the house."

"From the situation today, we can tell at a glance that the wife is here to arrest the mistress. And judging from the lady's attire and attitude, this lady must be from an extraordinary family and must have a very high status in the family. Many ladies would not dare to make such a big fuss even though they know their husbands have someone else outside. This lady seems to be fearless. I'm afraid there will be some fuss today."

I didn't expect that the waiter was a gossipy and lively person. He was afraid that the guests would displease him before, so he was very reserved. But now, seeing that the distinguished guest was so kind and even gave him money to ask him questions, he let himself go.

He chattered on and on, not only talking about a lot of things, but also expressing his own opinions. But I have to say, his guesses were quite accurate.

The two protagonists in this adulterous incident were indeed of very high status, and this lady was of an extraordinary background.

“Smash it! Smash the door for me and drag the people inside out!”

The noble lady got off the carriage and without saying a word ordered the servant to break down the door without mercy. Her pretty face was covered with frost and her pair of almond-shaped eyes were blazing with fire, making her look even more fierce.

The group of servants didn't waste any time, they immediately picked up sticks and started smashing the door, carrying out their mission perfectly.

If you want to hide a beautiful girl in a golden house, you naturally won't make a big fuss about it. This is a small house with just a small courtyard and not many rooms, so the door is naturally not very strong. A dozen strong men smashed it with sticks, and soon the door was shaking.

This scared the people in the house so much that they shouted at the people outside to leave in a trembling voice and even threatened to call the police.

But the lady was not afraid. Hearing that gentle and pitiful voice, she became even more furious. The anger in her body was about to materialize. She urged the servant to speed up, and in just a moment, the door collapsed amid the sound of the people in the house crying and begging for mercy.

Then, the lady and a group of servants rushed in like hungry wolves descending from the mountain, amid the woman's screams.

Not being at the scene, they couldn't see what was happening inside the house, but they could hear the screams and cries of pain from far away, the clanking and banging of bells and lanterns. One could imagine what intense things had happened inside that small house. The feeling of wanting to know what happened next was really scratching one's head.

Just as the noise had been going on in the house for a while and they were listening to the intermittent live broadcast from the onlookers outside, suddenly a sharp and frightened scream came from the house, and then a group of onlookers ran out of the house in fear.

"Kill... kill someone! Kill someone!"

"Quick! Report to the police! Report to the police!"

The group of people who had been listening to the excitement were frightened upon hearing such a shocking change. They had no idea how a trivial family matter could instantly turn into a horrifying criminal case.

Amid the screams of the crowd, another group of people came into the small courtyard, but this time they were not the parties involved, but officials from Shuntian Prefecture!
