Chapter 226 Su Xiaoxiao Gets Involved in a Murder Case
Just as Su Xiaoxiao was lost in her daydream, Xiao Chuanzi, a helper in the workshop, suddenly burst in from outside the door.

He's not usually such a reckless person; it seems like something's happened to him.

"Something terrible has happened, Mr. Su! Something's wrong at our jam shop!"

"what's the situation?"

Su Xiaoxiao guessed what had happened to Xiao Chuanzi when he ran back from outside. "Don't worry, tell me slowly!"

Xiao Chuanzi took a breath and said to Su Xiaoxiao, "Today when I went to deliver goods, I saw some people causing trouble in front of our jam specialty store, saying that someone died from eating it and demanding that our store pay compensation."

"what?"

Su Xiaoxiao could hardly believe her ears. "Boss Su, you should go and take a look! I bet Sister Sun is working like crazy in the shop right now."

When Su Xiaoxiao thought about this, her first thought was that there might be a problem with the quality of the jam. But then she immediately thought, "No way."
What kind of situation is this? She dealt with a similar problem last time, but it turned out to be a big misunderstanding. It was the family's own problem; the child was allergic to jam.

Now, how come this problem has arisen again? But then Su Xiaoxiao thought again, she was very confident in her family's jam, how could it kill someone?
This is absolutely impossible.

Is someone trying to frame their franchise store again?

Su Xiaoxiao's heart sank. There's a saying, "People are afraid of becoming famous, just as pigs are afraid of getting fat." Su Xiaoxiao now knew how troublesome this matter would be.

That's how it is when someone stands out from the crowd. Once you stand out in a crowd, there will be jealous people who will come and cause you trouble. It's not so bad if they cause you trouble, but they might not actually kill you.

After some celebrities become famous, people will come to dig into their past. This is because they are envied and someone is trying to sabotage them behind their backs. Some people spread rumors and frame them, while others exaggerate their mistakes. As long as someone wants to ruin them, they will eventually be brought down.

Fame brings trouble, mainly because people are too wicked, just like animals. Fame is someone's achievement, and if you don't have that ability, why are you so jealous? Trying to frame someone and bring them down is such a despicable act. Don't you feel guilty?
When you finally defeat that person and rise to power, other villains will appear one after another to drag you down, and the cycle will continue indefinitely.

Su Xiaoxiao and Pei Yuan boarded a carriage and arrived at the jam specialty shop in town. A large crowd of people had gathered at the entrance, some of whom were there to watch the spectacle, while others were throwing rotten eggs at Su Xiaoxiao's shop.

Su Xiaoxiao navigated through the crowd and finally found Mrs. Sun, who was eagerly waiting at the door.

"What on earth happened?"

"Xiaoxiao, you've finally arrived. I heard that someone ate our jam and died from a miscarriage."

"Miscarriage, and he died?"

Su Xiaoxiao was speechless. What did eating jam have to do with miscarriage?

What exactly happened?

Su Xiaoxiao continued to ask Sun Shi, who said, "It is said that the woman has already given birth twice, and this is her third pregnancy. She was fine yesterday, but today her husband bought jam from our store and gave it to her to drink, and she immediately miscarried."

"Oh? Do you know where this family is from?"

"He's from our town. I heard he's from the south of the city, and his family runs a business and is quite wealthy."

"The main problem is that the family had only one son for three generations. They had two daughters before, and this was their third child, but she died from a miscarriage before the baby was even born. What kind of thing is that?"

"It's a real pity, but what does it have to do with our shop?" Su Xiaoxiao asked, puzzled.

"They insist that it's because they drank our jam this morning that it turned out like this. Xiaoxiao, you should go and see for yourself!"

"okay, I get it."

Pei Yuan also said he would accompany Su Xiaoxiao to take a look. They wandered through several alleys together and finally managed to break through the crowd. Otherwise, they probably wouldn't have been able to escape from the crowd of onlookers at the door.

Su Xiaoxiao's face showed worry. When Pei Yuan saw this, he immediately said to Su Xiaoxiao, "Don't worry, it's okay, I'm here!"

It turns out that the family's surname is Wang, and they are currently at home. They are preparing to move the body to the front of Su Xiaoxiao's specialty store and are discussing how to leave!

Su Xiaoxiao appeared just in time to stop them, "Mr. Wang, we are deeply sorry for what happened. But you can't be so unreasonable as to insist that Madam Wang's illness was caused by eating our jam. You're just being so nonsensical!"

"What did you say? We're being unreasonable! My wife is dead! You're saying we're being unreasonable?"

With a sob in his voice, Mr. Wang was surrounded by many relatives of the Wang family, all glaring angrily at Su Xiaoxiao and Pei Yuan.

Just as they were about to rush forward and attack Su Xiaoxiao, Pei Yuan quickly pulled her behind him, shielding her with his hand. He then said to the enraged crowd, "Please, everyone, don't be impulsive. We're here to resolve this. Let's sit down and talk things over, okay?"

The Wang family certainly wouldn't give Pei Yuan any face. They also didn't recognize who Pei Yuan was. Now that they had lost a loved one, they were very sad and were preparing to use force against Pei Yuan and Su Xiaoxiao.

Just then, a voice came from behind, "Stop it, all of you! Boss Su, what's going on?"

The voice sounded so familiar that Su Xiaoxiao turned around and saw that it was Qian Musheng.

"Qian Musheng, what brings you here? You've returned from the capital?"

"Ok!"

"Here's what happened. The Wang family said that their wife, who was seven months pregnant, died from a miscarriage after eating jam from our store. I originally wanted to report this to the authorities, but they refused and were planning to bring her to our store to cause trouble."

Qian Musheng frowned. He felt that these people had only come for the money. What else could it be? He guessed it had nothing to do with eating jam, otherwise they wouldn't have disagreed with reporting to the authorities and following the proper procedures.

Did they make any requests?

Su Xiaoxiao shook her head when she saw the family's appearance, "Not at the moment!"

"Surname, I understand."

Qian Musheng noticed a corpse lying across the gate of the Wang family's house, its face simply covered with a white cloth.

Qian Musheng noticed that the woman's hands were slightly raised, as if she had grabbed something before she died. She also noticed that her skirt was stained with blood and her body was exposed to the air. The people around her were quite frightened and even curiously watched from the side.

The Wang family and the surrounding villagers were saying, "Do you know? Our lady died because she ate their jam."
