C16 Confessions

Ye Yuan went out first, saw the smoke coming from the kitchen, and went to check.

Tao Xiaozui followed closely behind, but when Tao Xiaozui arrived at the kitchen, Ye Yuan was eating a sesame seed cake with one hand and putting out the fire with the other.

"That works too!"

After entering the kitchen, Tao Xiaotu understood why Ye Yuan did not care about the fire and only cared about eating the sesame seed cake.

It looked like there was a lot of smoke, but the fire in the kitchen was not big. Perhaps it was because the firewood was a little damp!

Before the fire started, Ye Yuan came. Tao Xiaozui could not help but find it funny.

She walked up and saw Ye Yuan eating with a silly look on his face. She couldn't help but help to pat away the dregs on his body.

"He's already on fire, yet he only knows how to eat."

After Tao Xiaozui went up to check, she noticed that the firewood was not wet. How could such a small flame produce such a large amount of smoke?

"Why would it suddenly catch fire for no reason?"

Ye Yuan also looked left and right. The fire in the sesame seed cake stove was still burning.

"Could there be something wrong with the stove?"

Tao Xiaozui went up to check, but she couldn't see anything wrong with the stove. She shook her head and felt that the fire was very strange.

"There is nothing wrong with the stove. How did the fire start?"

Ye Yuan finished the sesame seed cake in his hand and was about to go up to check when he heard something.

His hand suddenly stopped and he gave Tao Xiaozui a look.

Tao Xiaosou understood. She picked up the kitchen knife beside her and saw the figure outside the kitchen.

She approached step by step and found a suitable opportunity to work with Ye Yuan to catch the person.

"Who is it?"

Ye Yuan thought it was one of Ming Feng's men. He didn't expect to catch a woman.

Tao Xiaosui threw away the kitchen knife in her hand and grabbed her hair. Since it was night time, he could clearly see her face.

"It's you?"

"Chen Mingxi?"

Chen Mingxi was originally watching the fire from the side, but when he saw Tao Xiaosui and Ye Yuan walking so close together, he was very angry. Just as he was about to slip away, he was caught by Tao Xiaosui.

"Speak, what did you do?"

Before Tao Xiaosui could say anything, Ye Yuan questioned her seriously.

Chen Mingxi naturally wouldn't admit anything. He looked at Ye Yuan and shyly said, "I didn't do anything. I just came to see you."

These words were extremely sour, causing Tao Xiaozui's body to shudder, "See him? What's so good about him?"

"Since you came to find Ye Yuan, why are you still sneaking around?"

After Tao Xiaozui asked, Ye Yuan even added: "Then why is the kitchen on fire?"

"How... How would I know? Your kitchen is on fire, you can't blame it on me, right?"

Seeing that Chen Mingxi didn't know what was good for him, Ye Yuan had Tao Xiaozui hold on to her. Then he and Tao Laosan brought a few thieves and threw them out.

"These thieves have already confessed. You sent them to our house to set fire, yet you still won't admit it?"

Chen Mingxi cursed these little thieves in his heart for being useless, but he still wouldn't admit it. He gave up his dignity to explain to Ye Yuan.

"I came here because I've taken a liking to you, Ye Yuan. As for them... Who doesn't know that I have a grudge against you? Anyone who comes to your house to make trouble can hide their identity if they say I sent them here. "

"Is that so?"

Tao Xiaosui didn't believe Chen Mingxi's bullsh * t. She only knew that in order to achieve her goal, Chen Mingxi was a shameless person.

The thieves panicked when they heard Chen Mingxi's words. If Ye Yuan really sent them to the officials, this matter would be blown up.

"Miss Chen, you paid us to set the fire. How long has it been? Why don't you admit it?"

"That's right. We are just making a living. Miss Chen, you can't be heartless."

Tao Xiaozui listened to the thieves' words and stared at Chen Mingxi, "Miss Chen, they've already confessed. Are you still going to be stubborn?"

It just so happened that the government was also a part of Chen Mingxi. If such a matter was sent to the government, it would not benefit Tao Xiaozui.

Chen Mingxi had no way to defend himself, so he could only nod his head and admit it. He was still tough, "Go ahead and report it to the officials!"

Tao Xiaosui gave her a tight slap on the face, "Don't think we don't know that the officials have taken your money, so they are naturally helping you."

"Then what do you want?"

Chen Mingxi knew Tao Xiaosui had a lot of tricks up her sleeve. He was afraid she would come up with some tricks to deal with him.

She thought for a while and decided it was better to settle this matter privately, "I think it's better to settle this privately."

"Privately?"

In Chen Mingxi's opinion, it was nothing more than spending some silver. If it could be settled with some silver, Chen Mingxi would be more than happy to do so.

"How?"

Tao Xiaosui thought about it and gave Chen Mingxi a figure, "A hundred taels."

To Chen Mingxi, a hundred taels was nothing, "Okay, okay..."

Chen Mingxi took the banknote and gave it to Tao Xiaoxi. He even paid the thieves before Tao Xiaoxi let them go.

"Listen, we won't be so good in the future. If you do anything you shouldn't do again, I'll chop off your hand."

Just as Tao Xiaosu finished speaking, Chen Mingxi suggested to Ye Yuan, "It's already so late. Ye Yuan, can you send me back?"

Ye Yuan also looked at Chen Mingxi, a girl, and only agreed after Tao Xiaotu nodded.

The thieves had already run off. As Ye Yuan and Chen Mingxi walked on the road, Chen Mingxi pretended to be afraid and threw herself into Ye Yuan's arms.

"Miss Chen, there's nothing. What are you afraid of?"

Chen Mingxi hugged Ye Yuan with great difficulty and refused to let go.

"Ye Yuan, you should have known long ago that I..."

He knew what Chen Mingxi was going to say and cut him off: "Don't say anything more, I'm one of Miss Tao's people. Miss Chen's family is so good."

Chen Mingxi didn't let go of Ye Yuan, as if he was extremely hungry and thirsty, giving Ye Yuan quite a fright.

"It's your fortune that I've taken a liking to you. What's so good about Tao Xiaozui? She has to work every day and be poor. Follow me and I'll give you the best."

Ye Yuan didn't want to think about these things right now. He had already dragged Tao Xiaosu into danger.

If Chen Mingxi came, Ye Yuan would probably go crazy. Thinking about how the two women were putting on a show, Ye Yuan flatly rejected Chen Mingxi.

"Miss Chen, men and women shouldn't touch each other. It's better to let go."

Chen Mingxi saw that he didn't agree, so he began to tempt her and told her his predicament.

"I'm alone. What's so good about it? Miss Chen can choose a better person."

With that, Ye Yuan pulled away from Chen Mingxi's hand, ready to run at any time. This made Chen Mingxi very uneasy.

However, out of worry, Ye Yuan sent Chen Mingxi home before returning to the Taos.
