Having chatted for a while, Luo Qiao got up to go to the kitchen and help her master’s wife with cooking. Meng Luo said, "Qiaoqiao, can I call you that?"

Luo Qiao smiled and said, "Of course, you can."

Meng Luo, while picking vegetables, said, "Qiaoqiao, you should come to Shanghai for a visit when you have time."

Luo Qiao nodded and said, "If I go to Shanghai, I’ll definitely look for you, big sister-in-law."

Su Qinqin said from the side, "Hangzhou is also not bad, Qiaoqiao. If you have time, you must come and see. When you do, sister-in-law will take you around West Lake and treat you to authentic Hangzhou cuisine."

Luo Qiao smiled and replied, "Okay, I’ll definitely come when I have time, to try the authentic West Lake vinegar fish, beggar’s chicken, Longjing shrimp, and bamboo shoot duck stew."

Su Qinqin smiled and said, "Alright, when Qiaoqiao comes to Hangzhou, sister-in-law will make sure to take you to eat the most authentic dishes."

When the food was served, Yang Jiancheng brought out the Ginseng Wine Luo Qiao had prepared earlier: "This was a gift from your little junior sister. Today is a joyous occasion, so you all should have a taste."

Upon hearing it was Ginseng Wine, Wang Bingwen said, "Master, such a precious thing should be kept for your own consumption, let’s drink the wine I’ve brought today."

Yang Jiancheng laughed and said, "I’ll just give you all a little taste, no more than that."

Luo Qiao smiled and said, "Big senior brother, it’s okay, I still have some Ginseng Wine prepared. I’ll bring some more for Master later."

Sun Guoliang, somewhat embarrassed, spoke up, "Junior sister, do you know anyone who sells ginseng?"

Luo Qiao looked at Sun Guoliang and asked, "Second senior brother wants to buy ginseng?"

Sun Guoliang nodded excitedly and said, "Yes, my uncle was injured on the battlefield in his earlier years and has been recuperating ever since. However, ginseng that’s aged for years is hard to come by."

Luo Qiao responded, "Then I’ll ask around for you. If I find any, I’ll let you know. How many days more can you stay in Capital City?"

Sun Guoliang said, "We can stay for three more days."

Luo Qiao initially did not want to use the medicinal herbs from her space again, but having heard her second senior brother mention his uncle’s wartime injuries, she changed her mind and promised to help.

After a lively meal, Luo Qiao helped her master’s wife clean up before leaving.

On the other side, Ning Hongda and Ning Hongbo were sitting in the Wei Family Courtyard with their sons, seeking justice for Ning Xueling.

Although they did not like Ning Xueling’s actions, they could not stand to see her bullied.

Ning Hongda said, "We didn’t come here to stir up trouble today; we just want to clear things up. You think Xueling wronged your son, but the money was indeed lost at the Wei Family. I think it’s best to call the police. That way, the real thief can be found, which not only exonerates your youngest son but also proves whether Xueling was deliberately making trouble. You do believe it was all orchestrated by Xueling herself, don’t you?"

As soon as Ning Hongda finished speaking, Wei Hongyan, who was sitting behind Wei Zixiong, sweated nervously in her palms. Ning Hongda, who had served in the military, understood what was going on after observing the expressions of the Wei Family’s children.

Therefore, he turned to his eldest son and said, "Call the police and let the authorities handle it. It’ll save all of us some trouble."

Frightened, Wei Hongyan tugged at Wei Zixiong’s clothes and whispered, "Dad, we can’t call the police."

Wei Zixiong turned and, seeing his daughter’s sweaty forehead and pale face, immediately understood what was happening and asked angrily, "What’s actually going on?"

Wei Zixiong, seeing Ning Lingchuan about to walk out, quickly called for him to stop, "Hold on, don’t call the police yet."

Turning his head towards his daughter, he said, "Speak."

It was then that Wei Hongyan quietly admitted, "I took the money."

Grinding his teeth in anger, Wei Zixiong demanded, "Where’s the money?"

Wei Hongyan was not foolish enough to hide the money in her room, and she took out what was left from the kitchen, "I spent the rest on clothes."

Now Wei Honglin was furious, "Wei Hongyan, how could you be so malicious? If you stole the money, why frame me?"

This shout was so loud that the neighbors heard it clearly. Wei Zixiong truly felt like he could die from the anger caused by his children.

Seeing the matter resolved, Ning Hongda left with a threatening tone, "Wei Zixiong, the fact that we didn’t intervene earlier doesn’t mean we don’t care about my sister’s affairs. Even if we are angry with her, we won’t let others bully her. If you dare to hurt her again, we won’t let you off. You better watch your own children. If they dare disrespect my sister again, I won’t mind teaching them a lesson for you."
