Courtyard House: He Daqing Forces Qin Huairu into Marrying at the Beginning

He Daqing couldn't believe that such a large sea cucumber could just disappear into thin air.

"When I checked, there were only fourteen pieces on the cutting board, and I don't know the specifics yet."

"Why don't we go take a look together?"

Atao pursed her lips, a troubled look on her face.

He Daqing and his son have always been arrogant and condescending, and are impulsive and easily angered.

Despite being criticized by Lou Xiao'e, he managed to hold back and not escalate the conflict.

This was something she didn't expect.

However, it doesn't matter. As long as we bring the father and son back to the kitchen, the situation will be perfect.

Lou Xiao'e dropped the bundle in her hand and came up to He Daqing, shouting at him loudly.

"Still not admitting it? Dare to come to the kitchen with me?!"

"Let's see how you try to deny it then!"

"Fine, I'll go! Who's afraid of who!"

We didn't steal anything at all, how can you slander us out of thin air!

The Lou family is just a little bit of money, what's so great about them!

He Yuzhu could no longer hold back and stepped out from behind his father to face Lou Xiao'e.

He Daqing's lips curled up almost imperceptibly. At this point in the situation, he understood A Tao's intentions.

If the father and son were to go to the kitchen now, they would truly be "convicted".

Since the sea cucumber wasn't actually lost, it must have been placed in an inconspicuous spot by Atao.

You can find it by simply searching carefully in the kitchen.

What will Lou Xiao'e think when the sea cucumber is found again?

Will she believe in the innocence of He Daqing and his son, and feel ashamed of her impulsive and reckless actions?

of course not!

Because once a person's beliefs are formed, they are very difficult to change.

Lou Xiao'e now believes that He Daqing and his son are thieves, or rather, she hopes that He Daqing and his son really are thieves.

This is to prove that one's own ideas and judgments are correct.

No one wants to admit they are wrong or expose their embarrassment in front of others.

Lou Xiao'e will definitely try every means to pin the blame on He Daqing and his son.

There is only one reason why the sea cucumber was rediscovered.

That means He Daqing put the stolen sea cucumbers back.

"Since Miss Lou has spoken, going to the kitchen is certainly an option."

However, if it turns out that my son and I were wronged.

How should you compensate us?

Our reputation has suffered enormous damage.

Informing Lou Zhenhua about the matter and sending others to check the kitchen would indeed prove the innocence of He Daqing and his son.

However, this won't do anything to deal with the troublemaker, Ah Tao.

After all, Ah Tao was just in a hurry and made a slight oversight, failing to check properly.

Lou Zhenhua's family will not severely punish A Tao for this matter.

Therefore, He Daqing decided to play along and went to the kitchen.

Didn't Atao say that the sea cucumber was lost?

So He Daqing let the sea cucumber go, just as she said.

"If you didn't steal the items, I'll kowtow to you and apologize, and I'll compensate each of you one million!"

If you really stole something, I'll put you in jail.

Let me show you what happens when you steal and then deny it!

Now, come with me to the kitchen right now!

Lou Xiao'e walked at the front, afraid that He Daqing and his son would enter the kitchen first and ruin the scene.

He Daqing followed Lou Xiao'e with a natural and unhurried demeanor.

He Yuzhu followed behind his father with his neck stiff and his teeth clenched, full of resentment.

A Tao picked up the bundle scattered on the ground, looked at the group of people in front of him, and a smug smile appeared on his face.

He Daqing and his son have truly fallen into her hands this time.

Lou Xiao'e's harsh words have made He Daqing look like a thief, even if he wasn't one.

Lou Zhenhua would never allow his daughter to kowtow and apologize to the two cooks.

The bigger the commotion, the more intense the conflict becomes.

The more filth is thrown at He Daqing, the harder it is to wash it off.

As the group arrived at the kitchen door, Lou Xiao'e pushed the door open first, went to the cutting board, and stretched out her delicate little hands to count the number of sea cucumbers one by one.

He Daqing remembered everything in the kitchen clearly, and he noticed the abnormality on the cutting board at a glance.

The plate of dried scallops on the cutting board was noticeably taller than before I left, and a faint black tinge could still be seen.

Needless to say, the sea cucumbers were probably stuffed into a pile of dried scallops.

He Daqing stood with his hands behind his back, walked to Lou Xiao'e's side, and transferred the sea cucumber hidden in the scallop into his spatial storage.

"One, two, three... fourteen."

Fourteen sticks, indeed one is missing.

You still dare to say you didn't steal it!

After counting carefully twice, Lou Xiao'e turned to He Daqing and said angrily.

"The sea cucumbers are missing, but that doesn't mean we stole them!"

He Yuzhu's forehead veins bulged, and beads of sweat appeared on his face as he turned around to look at his father with a wronged expression.

"Dad, I really didn't steal anything, you have to believe me!"

He Yuzhu wasn't afraid of anything else, except disappointing his father again.

He attempted to steal something yesterday and is now desperately trying to clear his name.

"Hmph, still dare to deny it."

"Tell the police what you have to say!"

Lou Xiao'e ignored all explanations and turned to call for help.

"Pillar, don't panic."

I checked before I left. If anything is missing, it's someone else who stole it; it has nothing to do with us.

He Daqing offered words of comfort.

"Miss, please don't worry, let's look again."

Perhaps they put it in the wrong place.

Standing at the door, A Tao blocked Lou Xiao'e's way, pretending to advise her.

"Get out of my way!"

Lou Xiao'e bypassed A Tao and ran outside the kitchen, shouting loudly.

"Stop thief! Stop thief!"

Seeing that things were getting out of hand, He Yuzhu panicked and grabbed his father's arm tightly.

"Dad, something's gone! What are we going to do?!"

He Yuzhu didn't want to be unfairly branded as a thief.

He didn't steal any sea cucumbers at all!

"Stay calm, don't panic, stay composed."

You didn't steal it, so what are you afraid of!

If we really lose it, we can just compensate them; it's not like we can't afford to.

"Even if the sky falls, I'll hold it up; don't be afraid."

He Daqing was not afraid at all, because everything was under control.

Chapter 57 Where did the sea cucumbers go?

"What happened?"

Upon hearing the commotion, Lou Zhenhua and his wife hurriedly led several of their servants to the kitchen.

"Dad, those two lousy cooks stole sea cucumbers and they're denying it!"

At the kitchen doorway, Lou Xiao'e pointed at He Daqing and his son inside, issuing a stern accusation.

Lou Zhenhua and his wife exchanged a glance, and their expressions gradually darkened.

Parents have a natural trust in their own children.

Even before they understood the cause and effect of the incident, Lou Zhenhua and his wife had already developed some negative views of He Daqing and his son.

This is a preconceived notion.
