Suppress it?

Speaking of this, Old Master Liu was so angry that he gritted his teeth. “It’s all that prodigal son’s fault. I wanted to suppress it, but just as I spoke to Old Master Tao, Liu Wei had already made a bet with Tao Xing in front of everyone in the city. What else can I say?”

Qin Wenzheng did not expect Liu Wei to be so unreliable.

This matter had blown up too much. If it was not contained, someone would make a big deal out of it.

Qin Wenzheng had some friendship with the Liu family. Old Master Liu was a concubine son of his uncle’s family. When he was young, he was forced to leave home. He happened to meet the current emperor, who was only the sixth prince at that time. Coincidentally, he became the sixth prince’s subordinate. Later, he had been secretly helping the sixth prince.

Old Master Liu and his cousin had a good relationship when they were young.

After the sixth prince became the crown prince, the Liu family’s status naturally rose. However, the late emperor was still alive at that time, so he couldn’t show it openly. The Liu family was also instructed to keep a low profile and stay in Fengkai County as an ordinary merchant.

Back then, Qin Wenzheng had almost been killed in the imperial court. It was this uncle of the Liu Family who had saved him and connected him to the Crown Prince at that time.

He listened to the crown prince and temporarily retired from the capital. Later, he traveled all over the rivers and mountains and finally settled down in Fengkai County. It was also the suggestion of the Liu family’s uncle and he received Old Master Liu’s help.

Now that the late emperor had passed away and the new emperor had ascended the throne, Uncle Liu could slowly surface from behind and appear in front of others. Now that he was in the midst of preparations, it was time to keep a low profile.

However, there was the matter of making sugar. It would have been fine if it was just a commotion in the county.

The problem now was that even the prefectural city knew about this. Early this morning, Prefecture Magistrate Dai had sent someone here to tell him that someone might make a big deal out of this.

Qin Wenzheng naturally did not want anything to happen to the Liu family, so he looked for Old Master Liu.

Old Master Liu was so worried that his hair was going bald. “I’ve gotten someone to investigate. It seems that a country girl has spread the news that she has the ability. I don’t know what’s wrong with Liu Wei. He even believed such words. Previously, he was provoked by Tao Xing to bet on two shops. It’s fine. Our family can afford the loss. Just treat it as a lesson. Who knew that two days ago, he went to that Yongfu Village and came back crazy.”

He went to teach his son a lesson, but this brat didn’t let him interfere. He didn’t even tell him what was going on and even found him annoying. He was simply an unfilial son.

Indeed, it was a wise move for him to nurture his youngest son, Liu Yi.

Actually, he had originally planned to get someone to go to Yongfu Village today to find that woman. Previously, when he heard that a woman came to look for Liu Wei, Old Master Liu guessed that it was most likely her.

Qin Wenzheng also found it strange. He had seen Liu Wei before. Although he didn’t like to study and wasn’t smart, he wouldn’t be so unreliable in the face of important matters.

“Where is he? I’ll go see him.” Qin Wenzheng was thoughtful and felt that Liu Wei was a little strange.

To blindly believe a woman’s words, could it be that he had fallen into a relationship that he could not extricate himself from?

Old Master Liu nodded repeatedly. “Alright, follow me.” He was also about to look for him.

The two of them hurried towards Liu Wei’s courtyard. Unexpectedly, as soon as they stepped into the courtyard, they heard Liu Wei laughing loudly. That voice frightened Old Master Liu.

Just as he was infuriated, he heard Liu Wei start singing. His singing was… awful. Not only was he tone-deaf, but he was also wailing like a ghost.

Old Master Liu felt extremely ashamed..
