After transmigrating into the body of a widow, I became the richest man in the capital.

Chapter 229 Su Xiaoxiao Investigates the Wang Family
After Su Xiaoxiao made her stance clear, the Wang family took the body away. This time, Su Xiaoxiao's attitude was even more unexpected.

Pei Yuan watched from the sidelines, and he was actually quite worried about Su Xiaoxiao's behavior.

"Xiaoxiao, we can't just admit to this without knowing the truth!"

Su Xiaoxiao waved her hand at him, telling him not to make a fuss.

Actually, this whole thing was a setup by someone, so how could she just accept it so easily?
When no one was around, Su Xiaoxiao said, "Could I have denied it earlier? But that was just a delaying tactic."

"What do you mean?"

Pei Yuan and Qian Musheng both looked at Su Xiaoxiao.

“Yes, I think there’s something fishy about this. I believe our jam is absolutely safe. In all this time, not a single person has complained about getting sick from eating it. What else is there to say? Since it’s not our responsibility, then someone is deliberately targeting us. If we keep getting entangled with the Wang family, we won’t have time to investigate this matter.”

Su Xiaoxiao said this.

"Yes, the Wang family's story is just a few sentences repeated over and over, which actually proves one thing: they are lying. And these are all fabricated lies. What do you all think?"

After hearing this, Pei Yuan and Qian Musheng both began to realize something, "Yes!"

"We also feel that there is something fishy about this."

"So what should we do next?"

"Investigate this matter thoroughly and get to the bottom of it."

Su Xiaoxiao continued.

When I returned to the store, it was already closed and no longer open for business.

The shop assistants were all given the day off, and Su Xiaoxiao looked extremely tired.

Sun wanted to come up and ask about the situation, but Pei Yuan stopped her and told her not to disturb Su Xiaoxiao.

Pei Yuan briefly explained the whole story to Madam Sun, who was also very angry after hearing it.

"This is absolutely despicable. These people are clearly here to cause trouble. They don't even bother with compensation; they're just here to smash up our shop and wipe us out."

Even if Sun hadn't gone there, she would have known the situation and could easily figure out that Su Xiaoxiao had been framed.

Su Xiaoxiao looked very disappointed. Pei Yuan sent everyone else away, leaving only Su Xiaoxiao and Pei Yuan in the room.

Pei Yuan casually said to Su Xiaoxiao, "Xiaoxiao, why don't you close the shop? I can support you."

Su Xiaoxiao, who had been looking down, suddenly stood up and said, "Then you'll be disappointed."

"Besides, who's supporting whom now?"

Pei Yuan was speechless. Indeed, he was now eating and drinking Su Xiaoxiao's food.

"Where is Young Master Qian?"

Su Xiaoxiao suddenly asked Pei Yuan, who shook his head.

"Didn't see it."

"Why are you looking for him?"

Pei Yuan is jealous again.

Su Xiaoxiao rolled her eyes at him. "I want him to come to the Wang family tonight and hear what kind of conspiracy they have. If you want to know what's going on behind someone's back, you have to listen to what's said behind their back."

"You mean?"

"What? So only Qian Musheng can get in, but I can't?"

Su Xiaoxiao rolled her eyes at him. "Qian Musheng learned martial arts from the Jianghu. He can leap over walls and has superb lightness skills. Can you do that? If you go in, won't the Wang family find out?"

"This……"

When Pei Yuan heard Su Xiaoxiao praising Qian Musheng so enthusiastically, he immediately looked a little disappointed. Indeed, he couldn't scale walls or move freely between skyscrapers, which seemed impressive.

Pei Yuan only knew those battlefield tactics, so Su Xiaoxiao didn't waste any more words with him and went out to find Qian Musheng.

Pei Yuan watched Su Xiaoxiao's retreating figure and sighed.

"Young Master Qian, what's your opinion on this matter?"

Su Xiaoxiao asked Qian Musheng.

"I think there must be someone behind this. Maybe Boss Su has offended some enemy this time."

Su Xiaoxiao opened her innocent big eyes and said, "How could I have offended any enemies? That's impossible."

But upon reflection, it's not about offending any enemies; the issue itself has no answer.

Who knows if the success of their shop has attracted jealousy from others? It's not impossible.

"Let's investigate the Wang family's network of connections first!"

Qian Musheng frowned and said to Su Xiaoxiao, "I just heard something. It is said that the deceased lady was always having children for the Wang family, and it seems that she was just a breeding tool. She was in poor health before, and two of her children died young, both of them girls. The Wang family has always wanted her to give birth to a daughter, but she just couldn't bear it and couldn't have a daughter."

"so?"

Su Xiaoxiao felt quite sorry for the deceased woman. "However, this matter still needs to be investigated thoroughly. Let's present the evidence and see what the people behind the Wang family are really up to."

Su Xiaoxiao said this.

"Why don't we go to the Wang family's house together tonight and see what's going on?"

Su Xiaoxiao looked at Qian Musheng and said firmly.

"You'd better not go. I can manage on my own. You don't know any martial arts."

Qian Musheng disagreed, and Su Xiaoxiao shook her head.

"No way, how can I not go? I absolutely have to help with this. Besides, this is our family's business. Didn't we work together before?"

Qian Musheng smiled, recalling their previous experiences of working together to rescue Liu Qiaomei from the Huang Mansion and to rescue the Tenth Prince from the Black Wind Stronghold in Cuiwei Mountain.

"Ok."

"Then let's go together."

As luck would have it, just as they arrived at the Wang family's gate, they saw Master Wang, the husband of the deceased woman. His real name was Wang Fugui, which Qian Musheng had already found out.

Wang Fugui sneaked out of his house. It was already dark. What was he going out to do?

Someone in the family just died. Although we haven't set up a mourning hall, we should still stay at home.

Qian Musheng winked at Su Xiaoxiao, and the two of them secretly followed Wang Fugui to see where he was going.

With a smile on his face, Wang Fugui weighed the few taels of silver in his hand a few times, then shook his head and walked in the opposite direction from his home.

The street he walked on was the town's famous red-light district, home to the town's largest brothel, Lichun Courtyard.

Every day, a group of lecherous men, as if possessed, would stroll frivolously toward that street, where scantily clad women would wave to them from both sides.

These men were generally lewd-looking with heavy dark circles under their eyes, looking as if their yang energy had been drained as they walked into the brothels on both sides.

What is Wang Fugui doing here?

Wang Fugui, with a lewd grin on his face, went straight into the largest brothel, Lichun. The security guards and other girls at the door greeted him, indicating that he was a regular customer.

Su Xiaoxiao looked at Qian Musheng, and unexpectedly made a new discovery.
