The cooking color is delicious, general, don't bite me

Chapter 108 Whose Child is?
Meng Fuling and others walked into the restaurant, just in time to see Steward Lu standing outside the counter, being pulled by Hong Zhu, Hong Zhu cried until the pear blossoms rained down, but Steward Lu's face was dark, and he tried to withdraw his hand, but he didn't dare to push Hong Zhu away. beads.

Fortunately, at this time, no customers have come to the door, otherwise, the business will have to be affected. Business is most taboo about these bad things. If one is not handled well, the restaurant will be tired and have a bad reputation.

"Shopkeeper Lu, what's the point of arguing with idlers during working hours?" Meng Fuling snarled angrily, deliberately turning her face.

"Ma'am, I—" Seeing Meng Fuling, Steward Lu felt as if he was seeing a savior, so he wouldn't mind her attitude.

Meng Fuling ignored his aggrieved appearance and continued: "As the shopkeeper, you should lead by example and set a good example for the people under you."

The guys present were dumbfounded. They thought Meng Fuling would help Steward Lu get rid of Hong Zhu's entanglement when she came, but why did she scold Steward Lu instead?

Hong Zhu was also very surprised. Didn't she say that Meng Fuling trusted Chong Lu's shopkeeper so much that she gave him a lot of money every month?How did things look different?
She didn't know about Yun Suxin's situation yet, and felt that she had betrayed Yun Suxin. She was imprisoned during this period, so she didn't have to worry about her life. But if she walked outside the restaurant and met Yun Suxin, she would definitely die very quickly. awful.

Therefore, she had to seek asylum, and after much deliberation, only Steward Lu was suitable, but Steward Lu was too shrewd to be fooled so easily, no matter how much she stalked her, it was useless.

"Ma'am, you're right. Not only did I fail to set the rules, but I also allowed such filthy things to drag you around here. It's really an eyesore. I know I'm ashamed, and I punish myself by not receiving my salary for a year." Steward Lu said Face ashamed.

The people present couldn't help but take a breath when they heard that, one year's salary!This punishment is really harsh. Everyone knows that the shopkeeper's salary is very high. If he doesn't get his salary for a year, how much money will he lose?For a family with poor conditions, if they don’t receive a salary for a year, the family members will probably starve to death.

Meng Fuling also looked 'surprised', "Shopkeeper Lu, as far as I know, you suffered from an old illness some time ago, and spent all your savings in order to treat the illness. If you don't get your salary for a year, then you—"

She made up nonsense and purposely didn't finish the sentence, but everyone understood that now Steward Lu was jingling poor, if he had no salary for a year, the situation would be very miserable.

Hong Zhu's complexion was very bad, and she immediately let go of Steward Lu's hand. She thought that Meng Fuling's daring to say this in front of so many people showed that what she said was true.

Steward Lu must be penniless, damn it!Fortunately, he looks brightly dressed, but in the end, he is a poor man, so why is she wasting time on him?It's better to find another backer as soon as possible.

Meng Fuling could see all the changes in Hong Zhu's expression, and a sneer appeared on her lips.

"I'm alone, I live and eat in a restaurant, and I don't need any money, as long as my wife rewards me with a few health soups and medicines." Lu Steward said nonchalantly.

Hongzhu's face became even more ugly, she naturally refused to follow a pauper who wanted to have the name of shopkeeper but drank soup all day long.

She was still a little unwilling to give up, and wanted to ask Steward Lu a few words, but Meng Fuling walked up to her, "Hong Zhu, is the child in your stomach the shopkeeper Lu's?"

The question was obviously very simple, but Hong Zhu was stumped. If she answered yes, what if Meng Fuling decided to marry her to Steward Lu?
But before she kept saying that it belonged to Butler Lu, it would be unreasonable to say no.

Hong Zhu remained silent for a long time, Meng Fuling said to herself: "Why don't you speak? If you don't speak, I'll take it as your admission."

"No! Does the child belong to Steward Lu? I, I don't know who it is." Hong Zhu hastily denied it, speaking too quickly and hastily, even saying that she didn't know who the child's real father was.

Her words immediately aroused everyone's contempt, and they all thought that a prostitute is a prostitute, and she has slept with too many men, and she does not know whose seed she is pregnant with.

"Since you don't know who the child belongs to, why did you insist that it belonged to shopkeeper Lu? Shopkeeper Lu's reputation must not be tarnished." The words were addressed to Hong Zhu, but Meng Fuling looked at housekeeper Lu.

Steward Lu's heart skipped a beat, what did Meng Fuling see him doing?Is it okay to ask him to produce evidence?How could he get it?
Hongzhu stared at Meng Fuling in a daze, not knowing what tricks she was going to play, so she dared not make a sound.

"I have a simple method here, which can prove whether the child belongs to shopkeeper Lu. Would you like to try it?" Meng Fuling said with a smile.

Perhaps because of a guilty conscience, her smile looked very permeating in Hongzhu's eyes.

Hongzhu suddenly remembered the matter of being locked up in the cellar by Meng Fuling before, annoyed how could she forget, Meng Fuling is not easy to provoke.

"No, no need!" Hong Zhu waved her hands again and again, and kept stepping back.

Meng Fuling deliberately approached her, held her shoulders, and whispered something in her ear.

Hongzhu's face turned pale instantly, she looked at Meng Fuling in horror, shook off Meng Fuling's hand violently, turned around, and ran out.

However, Meng Fuling was still shouting from behind: "Run slowly, be careful not to fall."

"Fu Ling, what did you say to her?" Xue, who had been silent all this time, couldn't help asking, and the others were equally curious.

Meng Fuling smiled and said nothing, but Luo Yunhao said triumphantly, "I know!"

"Talking!" Meng Fuling gave Luo Yunhao a blank look. When will this guy's bad mouth be fixed?
What's more, she didn't even know when he appeared. When he was at home, he told her that the yamen servant was coming for interrogation, and then he disappeared without a trace.

"Hey, actually I don't know." Luo Yunhao quickly changed his words, mainly because he was afraid that Meng Fuling and others would refuse to give him barbecue.

"Thank you Madam for saving the siege!" Steward Lu thanked, without asking Meng Fuling and Hong Zhu what to say.

"Shopkeeper Lu, next time you make some bad debts, I won't help you clean up the mess." Meng Fuling joked.

Steward Lu didn't answer Meng Fuling's words, a suspicious blush appeared on his old face.

Meng Fuling laughed secretly, butler Lu really did that kind of thing with Hongzhu, so he was guilty because Hongzhu was pregnant, and he didn't dare to be too tough on her.

Hongzhu's pregnancy is still young, and the correct date cannot be diagnosed. In addition, she has too many benefactors, and it is even more difficult to determine whose child is before the child is born.

Just now, Meng Fuling just frightened and threatened her and scared her away.

"You used to catch that woman specifically, and now you let her go like this?" Luo Yunhao moved to Meng Fuling's side, puzzled.

"She will definitely not survive two days after leaving the restaurant!" Meng Fuling said firmly.

"What if the child in her belly is really—" Luo Yunhao said again.

Meng Fuling cut off his words, "Whether it's true or not, shopkeeper Lu won't, and can't!"

After all, Meng Fuling was about to prepare the barbecue, and asked Steward Lu, "Are the ingredients ready?"

"It's all ready." Steward Lu nodded, and they walked into the kitchen together.
