Wu Qinghe suddenly laughed when he heard the other party’s words.
“Are you sure it’s really five taels of silver? If you don’t tell me the truth, I’ll reveal what dirty things you did! For example, should I reveal the matters about you and your family in the southwest?”
When the waiter heard Wu Qinghe’s words, the color drained from his face and his eyes were filled with panic.
“How do you know?”
Wu Qinghe said with a smile, “I also know very well that there’s more to you than this!”
This time, the waiter broke out in cold sweat.
The waiter quickly changed his words, “I remembered wrongly. That pot of wine was served to another customer just now. This person ordered a plate of peanuts and a pot of tea. It’s a total of ten copper coins!”
When Wu Qinghe heard this, he took out ten copper coins from his pocket and gave them to the waiter.
“That’s more like it!”
With that, Wu Qinghe turned to look at Shu Ruyue.
“Since the matter is resolved, how should we deal with this person?” Shu Ruyue didn’t know what to do, so she came to the person who had been beaten up.
“Hey, where do you live? We’ll send you back!”
The person who had been beaten up didn’t speak. He sat up silently and didn’t thank Shu Ruyue and Wu Qinghe for their help. Instead, he got up and left.
The waiter couldn’t help but say, “Hey! See, this is how people are! In my opinion, you shouldn’t have helped him!”
After Wu Qinghe glanced at the waiter, he immediately shut up obediently.
Shu Ruyue was used to such things, so she didn’t care.
She had helped previously him because she didn’t want her good mood to be ruined.
Therefore, when she attacked, she didn’t expect the other party to show grat.i.tude to her.
Wu Qinghe also knew that Shu Ruyue didn’t mind, so the two of them sat back down to eat.
Just as the two of them finished eating and were about to leave, the man who had been beaten returned.
This time, the person brought a bag and stood in front of Shu Ruyue and Wu Qinghe.
Wu Qinghe asked in confusion, “What are you doing?
That person still didn’t speak.
Shu Ruyue frowned when she saw how silent the other party was.
“If you have anything to say, just say it!”
When the person heard Shu Ruyue’s words, he thought for a moment, then squatted on the ground, picked up a stone, and drew.
After a few simple strokes, this person drew some more patterns on the horizontal line.
Shu Ruyue and Wu Qinghe were confused.
What was this person drawing?!
Seeing that the two of them still didn’t understand, the person came to the big tree at the side. He picked up some branches and leaves, then skewered the leaves onto the branches and handed them to Wu Qinghe and Shu Ruyue.
Shu Ruyue’s eyes lit up.
“You mean you know how to make roasted meat, right? You know that we’re looking for someone who can make roasted meat or grilled fish, so you want to follow us?”
Seeing that Shu Ruyue finally understood what he meant, the man nodded.
Wu Qinghe immediately realized something. ‘Why aren’t you talking? Are you mute?”
The man nodded when he heard Wu Qinghe’s words.
Wu Qinghe and Shu Ruyue decided to bring this person back first.
“Alright, then follow us!” Shu Ruyue said, “But let me say this first. If you don’t know how to make roasted meat or grilled fish, or if your culinary skills aren’t good, we wont take you in!”
The man nodded, then gestured that he understood.
Just like that, Shu Ruyue and Wu Qinghe brought another person towards the house they lived in.
As soon as they reached the house, they b.u.mped into Li Xiaoran and Luo Cheng, who had just returned from breakfast.
After telling them how they had met this person, Shu Ruyue asked, “Xiaoran, did I do the right thing?”
After Li Xiaoran looked at the man in front of her and sensed his emotions, she smiled.
“You did the right thing. We’ll let him show off his skills later. If he’s really capable, he can stay!”
Seeing that she had done the right thing and didn’t cause trouble for Li Xiaoran, Shu Ruyue heaved a sigh of relief.
So the group walked into the house together.
Ye Shengnan had followed Zi Zheng out to buy ingredients and was unloading the goods in the courtyard at this moment.
When they saw that Li Xiaoran and Luo Cheng had returned, they came forward to greet them.
When Ye Shengnan looked up and saw the man in front of her, she widened her eyes.
“Madam, you found Ma San?”
As soon as she said this, everyone looked at the man.
Wu Qinghe was shocked and couldn’t help but confirm again, ‘What did you say? He’s Ma San?”
After Ye Shengnan took a few more glances, she said with certainty, “That’s right. He’s Ma San. It’s him!”
Ma San didn’t expect anyone to recognize him.
Because Ye Shengnan was wearing female clothes now, Ma San didn’t recognize her at all.
Ye Shengnan reminded him, “Ma San, it’s me! The kid from the Ye family who s.n.a.t.c.hed your roasted chicken!”
When Ma San heard Ye Shengnan’s words, he seemed to have thought of something and his eyes widened.
Ma San was also very shocked.
Wasn’t Ye Shengnan a boy?
How did Ye Shengnan become a girl?
Ye Shengnan looked at Ma San, who was looking at her in surprise but had yet to make a sound. Then, she suddenly realized something.
“Ma San, what’s wrong? Why can’t you speak?”
Ma San smiled bitterly when he saw the concern on Ye Shengnan’s face.
At this moment, he couldnt speak or write, so he couldn’t tell Ye Shengnan everything.
Li Xiaoran sensed Ma San’s emotions and said, “Ye Shengnan, his voice has probably been rendered mute by medicine. Don’t be anxious. I’ll get someone to take a look at him first. It’ll naturally be for the best if he can be cured!”
When Zi Cheng heard this, he walked over and pulled Ma San to take his pulse. Then, he looked at his throat.
“He was indeed rendered mute by someone’s medicine. It seems that it’s been more than half a month! But you’re lucky. Although there’s a problem with your throat, it can be treated! But during this month, don’t even think about talking! I’ll prescribe some medicine for you and apply some medicine to your throat. Coupled with acupuncture treatment every day, your throat will definitely return to normal in a month!”
When he heard Zi Cheng’s words, Ma San’s eyes lit up.
Unable to speak, he quickly bowed to them.
When Xue Shanhui returned at noon, he was shocked to hear that Ma San had been found.
Unexpectedly, Wu Qinghe’s divination was really accurate! It had only been a few days, but they had really found Ma San!
