Before the house was raided, the maidservant of the Prime Minister's residence absconded with t

"Sister Tao'er, I'm a good person, not a bad man."

By sheer coincidence, Ayan overheard Tao'er's comment that no man is any good.

He raised his little face and spoke very seriously.

Dongkui couldn't help but burst out laughing.

"You little thing, you're not a man yet."

"Why don't I count? I'll grow up, and I'll be a good man too."

Ayan explained very seriously.

"Okay, okay..."

Sister is wrong, Ayan is a good person...

After Tao'er finished speaking, she felt that her words sounded strange.

"Miss Peach, do you perhaps have some misunderstanding about men?"

There are good men, for example...

For example, my father and my brothers…”

This young girl is only a few years old and hasn't been married for long, so she probably doesn't have a lover yet, right?

Could it be that she was hurt emotionally by a man?

She seemed to hate men very much.

Tao'er smiled awkwardly, "Seventh Brother Shi, I..."

I was just saying it offhand, cursing that third-in-command, Ma Jiakang.

She slept with someone's master and then with their maid.

That's bad enough, but to actually order a maid to poison her master is just too much...

Although the second wife wasn't a good person either, this man surnamed Ma was even worse.

"Yes, that third leader is utterly wicked!"

Peach Girl, what should we do next?

What are your thoughts?

The second wife sending Xiao Cui to see the third master probably isn't for anything good.

Shi Qi asked.

"Seventh Brother Shi, we've been keeping an eye on the Second Madam's place tonight. We heard that her courtyard is just one yard away from ours."

That makes it even more convenient.

We'll see how things unfold when the time comes!

Tao'er gave the instructions.

"good!"

Shi Qi nodded.

"Don't talk too much if you go any further; those are all the villagers over there."

We're heading over to the head chef's place now; I reckon Chef Wang has already proceeded according to plan.

Tao glanced ahead.

Everyone nodded in agreement.

Meanwhile, in the courtyard of Zhang Fei, the head of the gang, Chef Wang, carrying two thorny thorns on his back, knelt before the head of the gang.

A number of villagers were gathered around.

Chef Wang wept bitterly, repeatedly apologizing to the head chef for poisoning his food.

Upon hearing this, the chief Zhang Fei flew into a rage and kicked Zhang Fei to the ground.

"Chef Wang, you bastard, why did you have to hurt me? Haven't I been good enough to you guys?"

"What poison did you give me? Hand over the antidote right now!"

Zhang Fei's face turned a deep purplish-red, while the First Madam beside him remained expressionless, as if it had nothing to do with her.

"Boss, don't worry. You didn't eat the poisoned food. Someone switched the food and disposed of the poisoned portion."

Chef Wang explained.

"Then why did you poison me? If you can't explain it clearly, I'll tear you to pieces."

"You won't even be able to be reincarnated."

"The leader, Zhang Fei, said fiercely."

"Boss, I didn't know it was poison. I thought it was just a regular laxative."

"If I had known it was poison, I would never have dared to use it..."

Chef Wang quickly explained.

"Even if it's a laxative, you shouldn't have taken it, right?"

Although that thing won't kill you, it still causes a lot of suffering.

Tell me, who ordered you to poison my food?

Zhang Fei knew that Chef Wang didn't have the guts; he was probably acting under someone's orders.

"The boss is......"

"The second-in-command made me do it this way."

Chef Wang said so.

"Nonsense, everyone knows the second brother is the most loyal to me!"

Zhang Fei didn't believe it at all, and with a bang, the table in the courtyard broke in two.

Chef Wang was so frightened that he trembled and swore a solemn oath, "Boss, I didn't lie to you."

May I be struck by lightning if I ever tell a lie.

My entire family is dead.

"Boss, I think Chef Wang is telling the truth. Otherwise, why would he swear on his whole family's lives?"

The First Madam suddenly spoke up.

Zhang Fei, the leader, wouldn't have suspected anything before, but now he's starting to have doubts because of Chef Wang's oath.

"Why did the second-in-command order you to do this?"

"The leader, Zhang Fei, asked again."

He said he wanted to teach Xiao Tao, the cook, a lesson, and that he wanted her to be disgusted with him and kick her out.

He wanted revenge on her.

I didn't think that much about it...

I initially refused, but the second-in-command threatened me with my wife and children.

They said if I didn't do that, they'd sell them out.

I really have no other way...

"Oh dear, I didn't expect this second-in-command to be so vengeful."

But why did the laxative he gave you turn into poison?

Moreover, the head of the gang ate the food that day and had no problems at all, but the second-in-command was vomiting and had diarrhea...

The First Madam spoke again.

"Reporting to Madam, I did not discover the poison; it was the cook, Xiao Tao, who discovered that the food contained poison, not laxatives."

She changed her meal to that one.

Chef Wang continued explaining, beads of sweat constantly streaming down his face; he felt a chill run down his spine.

He was afraid that the leader wouldn't believe him, since everyone knew about the brotherhood between the leader and the second leader over the years.

"Chef Wang, you have to be responsible for what you say. You can't just say things carelessly."

This laxative is a minor problem; if it were poison, it would mean the second-in-command is using someone else to do his dirty work, which would be terrifying.

Killing two birds with one stone.

They not only poisoned the leader but also made Little Peach take the blame...

"Boss, what do you think of this matter...?"

The leader's face grew increasingly grim...

"Chef Wang, since you say that Miss Xiao Tao told you, why doesn't she expose this herself?"

Zhang Fei asked again.

"The cook, Tao'er, said she had a grudge against the second-in-command. You certainly wouldn't believe her if she told you that."

It could also lead people to misunderstand that she was using her position to settle personal scores.

So she found the younger one and made me come and apologize myself.

She said that the leader was a man of great principle, and that as long as I explained things clearly, he wouldn't take my life.

She also said…

"What else did she say?"

This girl is quite good at talking.

She also said that the second-in-command was not a good person and wanted your position as the head of the group.

Otherwise, why would I poison you? I told you I had to tell you this, or your life would be in danger.

She said you are the leader of the village, and the brothers in the village cannot do without you.

I was moved by Little Peach's words, so I came.

I was wrong today, and I accept whatever punishment the chief may give me. But my wife and children should not be implicated. I hope the chief will show mercy and let them go.

Chef Wang recited every word Xiao Tao had taught him.

"Boss, that girl's concerns are valid."

Call her over and confront her; that will tell you whether Chef Wang is lying or not.

This is not something to be taken lightly; it concerns your life.

The First Madam quickly offered another word of advice, but in her heart she thought that the little girl was quite interesting.

Perhaps the situation in Tiger Head Village is about to change.

"Someone, go and fetch Chef Xiao Tao..."

Zhang Fei waved his hand and shouted.

A short while later, Xiao Tao was brought over.

She glanced at Chef Wang kneeling on the ground, and he happened to be looking at her too.

Now that she knew what was going on, Tao'er cupped her hands and said, "Greetings, Master and Madam!"
