Chapter 471: Chapter 474 Deadly_1
"Do you like her?"
Yin Yinyue pointed at Qiao Duo’er, and it was not hard to notice that her hand was trembling.
Liang Hao, mustering his courage, nodded. He dared to admit it, but he truly lacked the guts to say it in front of Yin Yinyue.
"She’s just a village girl who sells braised meat; aren’t you ashamed and embarrassed!"
Yin Yinyue asked angrily; she simply couldn’t stand the sight of poor people and was even less able to accept the fact that she had lost to a village girl!
Liang Hao gave a bitter smile; being embarrassed in public was still better than marrying Yin Yinyue—in White Stone Town, even three-year-old children knew he had married a tigress!
That year, when he and Mudan were in the middle of their affair, Yin Yinyue barged in. He only managed to put on his underwear and was still chased down the street by Yin Yinyue.
Thinking back on this humiliating affair, he still couldn’t help but feel ashamed.
There were so many men out there seeking pleasure, but none seemed to have an end as miserable as his.
Remembering the past, Liang Hao grew bolder: "Don’t always flaunt that you’re a Miss Housekeeper; no matter how powerful your uncle Yin Gang is, it won’t matter. Your father is nothing more than a rankless Master, and I’m not afraid of you!"
What else could her uncle Yin Gang do besides reaching out for Silver?
Verbally, it’s said that Yin Zheng has been operating in White Stone Town for years and moving elsewhere to start over wouldn’t make sense.
But with Yin Gang’s connections, wouldn’t it be simple to get Yin Zheng a position as a County Magistrate?
It was just that Yin Gang was unwilling to help.
Because his own status grew higher and higher, the number of people flattering and bribing him increased, and the little Silver Yin Zheng gave him was simply not enough.
"If Miss Housekeeper’s daughter dares to be so arrogant, then a Princess must think she can sprout wings and fly in the sky, right?"
"She can only throw her weight around here; once you leave White Stone Town, who would know what she’s worth?"
"Her father is no good either. Over the years, he has used his office for personal gain, and only after Lord Qin took office did he begin to show restraint. There’s an old saying, ’those who commit too many injustices will bring about their own destruction;’ their end will surely not be good!"
He had connections in the Government Office; he heard that the County Magistrate was preparing to deal with the Master.
And whenever Lord Qin acted, he never came back empty-handed.
"Miss Yin, you better not marry again, sparing one person a disaster is also accumulating merit for yourself."
Yin Yinyue said with a gloomy face, "You people know nothing and talk nonsense here. Clearly, this woman got married and still can’t settle down, seducing my husband!"
From the way Liang Hao looked at Qiao Duo’er, she knew exactly what was going on.
What was so good about this Qiao Duo’er? She’s not bewitched at all!
"Young Master Liang only bought braised meat from me twice, how did I seduce him? Miss Yin, if you don’t have evidence, I’ll have to discuss defamation with you," said Qiao Duo’er coldly.
In this era, a woman’s reputation mattered more than life itself.
But Yin Yinyue, in front of such a large crowd, slandered her; she was probably out for her life.
Just because she knew Liang Hao took an interest in her and then just whetted his appetite. Later on, it was Qin Longyun who persuaded Liang Hao to write the letter of divorce, and it was Qin Longyun who added the frenzy powder to the wine.
How could Yin Yinyue sentence her to death like this? No matter how you looked at it, she was not the chief culprit.
But then again, this was the effect they wanted to achieve.
If the Yin father and daughter operated watertight, and if she refused to sell her recipe and shop cheaply, the Yin father and daughter would definitely give up after weighing the options, as the shop was too small and there were many imitations of the recipe; it would not be worth the trouble to make a big deal out of it.
If the Yin father and daughter were left unpunished, they would certainly continue to encroach on other people’s shops, further controlling the economic lifeline of White Stone Town.
Because the more the Yin Family controlled the direction of the economy, the more Qin Longyun would dread.
