章節 235: 234 A dead end

"My lord, this person came to me along with a maid yesterday to buy mooncakes. In the end, the maid refused the mooncakes, claiming that I failed to deliver them on time,"

At this point, Zhang Xiaoying spoke up.

"Last night, three foolish thieves sneaked into my house, intending to poison the mooncakes, but I caught them red-handed. They confessed that it was this person who had ordered them to do so."

Upon hearing this, the coachman looked sharply at Zhang Xiaoying.

Zhang Xiaoying continued, "As for that maid, she came to my home yesterday using helping out as an excuse and tried constantly to find out how my daughter-in-law makes the mooncakes.

"I suspected they wanted to steal the recipe for the mooncakes, and when they realized they had been discovered, they became angry out of embarrassment and wanted to take revenge on me. I beg your honor to give me justice!"

"Is this true?"

"If there is a half-lie, may heaven strike me down with lightning."
