Chapter 147
Jiang Yao was a little relieved when she heard Lu's final decision. Fortunately, Lu is an open-minded person, so she doesn't need to waste any more words and persuasion.

Thinking that there was still grandma at home, Jiang Yao spoke again.

"Mother, it's a long way to go to the capital, and the road is bumpy. In addition, we don't have a definite place to stay in the capital, and the business hasn't started yet."

"So I thought, let's talk to grandma, and don't take grandma this time. When we develop and stabilize, we will take grandma. What do you think?"

In fact, before Jiang Yao raised this question, Mrs. Lu was also thinking about Mrs. Lu's whereabouts.

After all, Mrs. Lu kindly took them in before, and they sneaked away after something happened. It would be chilling to see Mrs. Lu.

Now that Jiang Yao has come up with a solution, and her mother is not a playboy, she can still understand the truth when she speaks carefully.

She nodded, and looked at Jiang Yao in relief, "Yao'er, you've really grown up, mother will tell your grandma about this matter, just pack your things at ease."

Several people chatted for a while, and Mrs. Lu went out to find Mrs. Lu.

Sure enough, as they expected, Mrs. Lu was easily persuaded, and she didn't mean to be unhappy at all, but she somewhat disagreed with their decision to go to the capital.

But children and grandchildren have their own blessings, and Mrs. Lu has never been someone who insists on forcing her children.

Mrs. Lu truthfully explained Jiang Yao's reasons to Mrs. Lu, and she stopped persuading them, and only told them to be careful on the road.

They were happily packing their things here, but they didn't know that a rumor had already spread around and intensified. Almost everyone who entered the surrounding area would hear those despicable rumors.

Early the next morning, when Jiang Yao went to open the shop door, she suddenly smelled a strange stench. Her heart skipped a beat, and she opened the door slowly.

Seeing the scene outside through the narrow crack of the door, she slammed the door angrily.

Lu, who was two steps behind, suddenly saw her daughter like this, and hurried forward, trying to help her open the door, but was stopped by Jiang Yao, who shook her head.

"Mother, let's not open the shop today, let's take a rest and have a holiday."

No matter how busy they were before, their shops seldom closed. The only time when Granny Lu was unwell, she accompanied Granny Lu to see a doctor and went back to the village to see old friends.

It's not a festival today, and no one is uncomfortable. The sudden closure of business made Lu frowned suspiciously.

"Yao'er, tell mother the truth, did something happen?"

The situation outside is so bad and the smell is so strong, it must be impossible to hide it from Lu Shi, so Jiang Yao had no choice but to tell what she saw through the crack of the door.

"Mom, I don't know why, rotten vegetable leaves and rotten eggs were thrown all over the place outside our shop, and there are still many people around outside pointing."

"If we open the shop at this time and don't talk about the business, we will definitely be criticized by others. Instead of this, we might as well rest in the house and go out to clean up after everyone outside has left."

Encountered by this inexplicably, Lu Shi was stunned on the spot for an instant, opened and closed his lips several times, and then clenched his fists angrily and sighed.

"Which bastards did this! If you have the ability to come here aboveboard, what's the trouble behind your back?"

Listening to Lu Shi's question, in fact, Jiang Yao already had a guess in her mind, but it has not been confirmed yet, so she simply hid the idea in her heart for the time being.

The mother and daughter looked at each other, sighed, and walked to the backyard together.

Fortunately, they knew that their business might be affected recently, so they didn't do a lot of things. They planned to sell out the shops, pack up their things, and head to the capital.
If the shop is not opened today, it will not cause too much loss.

What Jiang Yao didn't expect was that they had just walked into the backyard, and before they had time to fool their sisters, someone knocked on the backyard door.

However, the force of the knock on the door was very light, it seemed that they just wanted to let them know that there was someone outside the door, and they were not here to trouble them.

Even though she guessed this point, Jiang Yao couldn't help but raise her vigilance silently.

There is no way, the tragedy in front is too much, and there are her family members living behind, if she encounters that insane person, she is really afraid that her family members will be hurt.

Thinking of this, Jiang Yao winked at Lu Shi, and went forward by herself, intending to observe through the crack of the door before opening the door.

Although her footsteps were very light, the people outside the door seemed to have heard her coming, and whispered tentatively.

"Miss Jiang, it's me, Liu Jue."

After confirming that Liu Jue was the only person standing outside, Jiang Yao heaved a sigh of relief, and then quickly opened the door. Liu Jue also cooperated and quickly walked in, and then helped her close the door.

Seeing Jiang Yao's sad and doubtful face, he didn't make a fool of himself, and took the initiative to tell what happened outside.

"Miss Jiang, I think you already know the situation outside your shop, so I won't go into details. The reason I found out is this..."

"Yesterday evening, Mrs. Jiang suddenly appeared near your house. She insisted that you stole the cooking secrets of their old Jiang family's life, and she said it clearly."

"Not only that, but she also brought up your father's injuries as an excuse. She didn't know where she got her injuries, so she blamed you all."

"Before and after, she cried and complained for more than half an hour, earning the sympathy of the people around her, that's why this happened."

"Actually, I know that you came up with those things yourself, and it's impossible for you to do things like steal cheats."

When he said this, Liu Jue looked at Jiang Yao with firmness and trust, but suddenly sighed again.

"But now everyone thinks it's your mother and daughter's fault, especially you. I'm afraid that you will be beaten with a sap when you go out. Rather than that, let me help you."

"How are you going to help?" Jiang Yao asked knowingly, raising her eyes, but there was no emotion in her words.

"To be honest, the county magistrate who interrogated you that day was a corrupt official, and our family is considered to have some power. I can spend some money and let him clear you up."

Just as I guessed, Jiang Yao couldn't help but chuckled, but shook her head after laughing.

"Young Master Liu, I know you are here to help me, but please forgive me for not accepting it."

"Why?"

"You also said that he is a corrupt official. Since he is corrupt, there is no end to it. Today you can block his mouth because of the secret book. If he charges me with other crimes tomorrow, do you have to pay him back?" spend money?"

"I..." Liu Jue was speechless when asked, but the worry in his brows became more and more obvious.
