Chapter 86 You Provoked Someone

She tightly grasped Xu Jinhuai's arm, her eyes red as she said, "Master, you must avenge me and my daughter."

"Do you know? Ruyu was kicked in the heart by those bastards. I'm afraid she will suffer from heart pain."

Thinking of Xu Ruyu, Xu Jinhuai's face darkened, "Don't worry, Yue'er, I will definitely not let those beasts go."

He even didn't let a baby go. He's not worthy of being a human being!
After saying this, Xu Jinhuai called over his personal servant.

"Chengfu, take a few people to the place where the accident happened last night to see if there are any clues left behind." Xu Jinhuai ordered with a dark face.

"Yes, sir." Cheng Fu took the order and left.

Seeing Cheng Fu's figure disappear, Yu Yue'er threw herself into Xu Jinhuai's arms again and began to cry.

"Husband, Yue'er hurts so much. Yue'er hurts everywhere."

Especially the abdomen, it hurts so much.

Xu Jinhuai held her carefully and said, "The pain will go away after you drink the medicine."

He wanted to question Yu Yue'er why she had hidden from him the fact that she could no longer get pregnant, but seeing Yu Yue'er's pitiful appearance with injuries all over her body, he swallowed back his words of blame.

I'd better wait and ask again later.

Thinking of Zhijiang's words, Xu Jinhuai frowned and asked, "Is the owner of Zhuyan Hall really Si Ze?"

When Yu Yue'er heard Xu Size's name, she became furious.

She straightened up suddenly, but pulled the wound on her body and gasped in pain.

After the pain subsided a little, Yu Yue'er gritted her teeth and said, "Husband, that person must be Si Ze. I will never be wrong."

Seeing Yu Yue'er speak so confidently, Xu Size asked in confusion: "But I heard from Zhijiang that the owner of Zhuyan Hall is a teenager."

Yu Yue'er pulled Xu Jinhuai's sleeve and said, "My husband, why are you confused? Si Ze is a man to begin with."

"The reason why I asked her to dress in women's clothes and imitate women's manners was because he was good-looking and I wanted to send him to perform to make money. He is not a real woman."

Over the years, Xu Size has indeed made a lot of money for them.

The expenses in Yu Yue'er's house and the money from Xu Jinhuai's frequent banquets were basically earned by Xu Size from his performing arts.

Xu Jinhuai shook his head. "What I mean is that Si Ze has always appeared in front of us as a woman since he was a child. We have never seen him in men's clothing."

"Even if he really regained his male body, it would be different from when he was a woman. How can you be sure that he is Si Ze's?"

"Besides, in Si Ze's heart, you are his biological mother. If that boy is really Si Ze, how could he not recognize you as his mother?"

Yu Yue'er became a little anxious when she saw that Xu Jinhuai didn't seem to believe her.

"My dear, even though the owner of Zhuyan Hall is dressed in men's clothing, his face is at least 80% similar to Si Ze, so how could I not recognize him?"

"As for why he didn't recognize me, it must be because we sold him to Mr. Peng, and he holds a grudge against us."

Xu Jinhuai felt that what Yu Yueer said made some sense, and couldn't help but ask: "Is it really so similar?"

Yu Yue'er nodded firmly.

Xu Jinhuai said: "If that's the case, then I will find a chance to check it out tomorrow to see if he is really Si Ze."

"What if it's true?" Yu Yue'er asked tentatively, "Should we continue to sell him to Mr. Peng?"

Xu Jinhuai said thoughtfully: "The Zhuyan Hall is now very famous in the imperial capital. If the owner of Zhuyan Hall is really Si Ze, then we should let him continue to run it, so that we can have a steady stream of income."

Yu Yue'er originally wanted to use Mr. Peng to take revenge on Xu Size, but after hearing what Xu Jinhuai said, she also felt that it would be more useful to keep Xu Size.

After all, Zhuyantang's business is now booming, and having such a shop is like having a cash cow. And she is the owner of this cash cow.

Thinking of Mr. Peng, Yu Yue'er became worried that something bad might happen to him.

She said quickly, "I thought my husband was going to sell Si Ze to Mr. Peng, and I had someone tell him. I was afraid he would go to Zhuyan Hall to ask for him."

Xu Jinhuai snorted coldly, "You waited for a whole day yesterday, but Mr. Peng didn't show up either? Maybe he has lost interest in Si Ze a long time ago."

Yu Yue'er was still a little worried, "Husband, it's better to be safe than sorry."

Xu Jinhuai said disdainfully: "Even if Mr. Peng went, so what? The person is ours, so it is up to us to sell him or not. Do you think he dares to snatch him away by force?"

After hearing what Xu Jinhuai said, Yu Yue'er felt relieved.

She leaned into Xu Jin's arms again and said, "My husband is right. It's great to have you around."

Her voice was as charming and soft as ever, and her tone was filled with the woman's respect and admiration for the man.

Xu Jinhuai couldn't help but feel hot in his lower abdomen.

But after seeing Yu Yue'er's disgusting face, the restlessness in his body disappeared instantly.

He gently pushed Yu Yue'er away and said, "The Ministry of Industry still has a lot of things to deal with. You take good care of Ruyu. I'll go to the Ministry of Industry first."

Yu Yue'er felt very disappointed when she saw Xu Jinhuai was leaving.

She pulled Xu Jinhuai's sleeve and acted coquettishly, "Husband, Ruyu and I are both injured, and we really want you to be with us. Can you come back to accompany us after you are done with your work?"

Xu Jinhuai hesitated for a moment, but finally agreed.

After all, he was really worried about Xu Ruyu.

When Xu Jinhuai's personal servant Cheng Fu led people to the crime scene last night to look for clues, they found a man dressed as a servant sneaking around nearby.

He felt it was very suspicious, so he had the servant arrested.

The boy didn't want to say anything at first, he just said that he had lost something nearby and went to look for it.

Later, he couldn't stand Cheng Fu's lynching and confessed everything.

It turned out that he was one of the thugs last night. When he left, he accidentally dropped a copper pendant that was his family heirloom there, so he took the risk to go back and look for it.

I didn't expect to be so unlucky that I would run into Cheng Fu and his friends.

After Cheng Fu learned the truth from the servant, he immediately went to the Ministry of Works to tell Xu Jinhuai.

When Xu Jinhuai learned that it was Mr. Peng who hired someone to beat Yu Yue'er and Xu Ruyu, he was furious.

He asked Cheng Fu to break the boy's legs and throw him into the wilderness.

After leaving the Ministry of Works, Xu Jinhuai went directly to Yu Yueer.

When he saw Yu Yue'er, Xu Jinhuai said with a sullen face: "Do you know who hurt you and Ruyu?"

Yu Yue'er didn't expect him to find out so quickly, and asked quickly: "Who is it? Isn't it a robber?"

Xu Jinhuai snorted coldly: "Of course not, but the person you provoked."

"Me? Husband, are you mistaken? Yue'er has always lived a secluded life, how could she offend anyone?" Yu Yue'er asked puzzledly.

Xu Jinhuai said with a dark face: "The people who beat you were sent by Mr. Peng."

Yu Yue'er was a little surprised, "Mr. Peng? Why did he let people hurt us? He even didn't let Ruyu go! Why on earth did he do that?"
