I am the stepmother of my son, and the little villain has changed into a little cotton-padded jacket

A man on horseback galloped over from a distance. When he got close to the crowd, he tightened the reins to stop the horse from running forward.

After stopping, he dismounted, ran to Song Zhoubai with a somewhat rapid breathing, and bowed.

"Master, we've caught him. Ah Da and the others are following us. I ran back to tell you first."

"Okay, got it, just bring it here."

Song Zhoubai nodded and then looked at Shopkeeper Zhu beside him with a shrewd smile in his eyes.

"Shopkeeper Zhu has finally caught up today. I will show you a good show later."

After hearing what he said, Shopkeeper Zhu was stunned for a moment and then asked in confusion.

"What kind of play? Is there a troupe here?"

Song Zhoubai smiled and said nothing, but looked straight ahead, as if waiting for something.

Their entire conversation fell into Lu Jinshi's ears, and he inexplicably had a bad premonition in his heart, especially when he saw the fierceness in Song Zhoubai's eyes, this feeling became even stronger.

The people who were about to leave probably smelled the lively atmosphere and stopped and stood where they were, ready to see what would happen.

Everyone followed Song Zhoubai's gaze and before long, a carriage appeared in front of everyone.

There were many men around the carriage, who escorted it to the store.

Ah Da walked forward and nodded slightly to Song Zhoubai: "Master, the person is here."

Then he walked to the carriage and lifted the curtain, revealing several men in black who were tied up inside.

Everyone was stunned when they saw this scene.

The tied men in black didn't expect to see so many people when they first met them. They were so ashamed that they wanted to find a hole to crawl into. Several of them lowered their heads as if they didn't want people to see their faces.

Ada pulled the leading man down and reached out to tear off the black cloth covering his face.

Song Zhoubai looked at the face and felt it was somehow familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen it.

"Master Song, what are you doing?"

Shopkeeper Zhu frowned and looked at Song Zhoubai. He didn't understand what this group of people were doing.

"Shopkeeper Zhu, these people are the thieves who stole the perfume. If it weren't for them, I wouldn't have been late in delivering the goods." Song Zhoubai explained, then walked up and looked at the man's face carefully.

The man was dressed in black and kept his mouth shut without saying a word.

Song Zhoubai suddenly recognized who he was, turned to look at Lu Jinshi who was about to disappear into the crowd, and said in surprise.

“Isn’t this person the housekeeper of Uncle Lu’s family?!”

Lu Jinshi paused, sweat breaking out on his forehead when he saw the man for the first time. He wanted to leave quickly while everyone was stunned, but was stopped by Song Zhoubai.

He raised his hand to wipe the sweat from his forehead and denied it.

"How can you slander someone for no reason? This is not my housekeeper! Nonsense!"

"Then Uncle Lu, go call the housekeeper to take a look?"

Lu Jinshi's words were stuck in his throat. Where could he go to find someone? Wasn't the housekeeper standing here tied up?

But how could he admit such a thing? Lu Jinshi walked up to the man and took a closer look. Then he showed a look of sudden enlightenment and spoke with regret.

"Oh! I see. A few days ago, the butler stole my wife's jewelry and I kicked him out of the house. He must have gone to rob Young Master Song's perfume to get revenge on me!"

Seeing the man was stunned and silent, Lu Jinshi became anxious and asked hurriedly: "Tell me, is this true?"

He winked at the man, his movements so obvious that anyone could see it at a glance, and the explanation at this moment seemed extremely pale.

Some smart people already had the answer in their minds, and everyone started whispering.

Lu Jinshi chose today specifically to add insult to injury, and he remained calm and composed throughout the whole process. However, he panicked when he saw the man in black and made such a lame excuse, which made it hard for people not to think too much.

Shopkeeper Zhu was a man who had seen many storms and knew what this scene meant when he saw it. He frowned and looked at Lu Jinshi.

Originally I only knew that the things from the Lu family were not very good, but now it seems that even their character is problematic.

No one spoke, but Song Zhoubai stood up and looked at Lu Jinshi with a smile.

"I believe this matter has nothing to do with Uncle Lu. Although my family and Uncle Lu have some conflicts in business, Uncle Lu is definitely not so stingy, right?"

Song Zhoubai had asked this question just now, and Lu Jinshi could have rejected him with confidence, but now this question was like a slap in the face, making him feel ashamed.

Shopkeeper Zhu snorted and looked at Lu Jinshi with a bit of disgust.

"Today I really saw a good show. It seems that Mr. Lu not only has bad goods, but also bad character."

This sentence made Lu Jinshi's face fall to the ground. He turned around and left angrily without saying anything.

Song Zhoubai just stood there and looked at his back. In fact, he could have taken the matter to the government office, but he didn't want to do that. If Lu Jinshi was taken into custody directly, it would be meaningless.

We must not be lenient towards people like him.

After what happened today, everyone knows Lu Jinshi’s true face. Not to mention expanding the business in the short term, it will be difficult for him to even keep the current orders.

After Lu Jinshi left, the servant suddenly ran out of the shop and whispered a few words into Song Zhoubai's ear.

Song Zhoubai smiled immediately: "Now that the matter has been resolved, I won't hide it from you all. In fact, the perfume has arrived a long time ago, but I lied to you all in order to catch the murderer of this incident. Now you can enter the store and choose the perfume you like. Our store is launching a new perfume today, the scent of gardenia!"

Everyone was stunned at first, then they all cheered and rushed into the store. The original voices of doubt completely disappeared.

Shopkeeper Zhu also looked at Song Zhoubai with a smile on his face. The launch of a new perfume meant that he could bring more back.

"Young Master Song is really young and promising."

"Sorry to have kept you waiting for a long time, Shopkeeper Zhu. All the goods for you have been packed. I'll give you fifty bottles of new perfume at half price as an apology for today." Song Zhoubai said with a smile.

The smile on Shopkeeper Zhu's face became even more intense. After all, who doesn't like to get more things at half the price?

Wen Shutang asked Xiao Yizhuo to drive the carriage to place all the finished perfumes in the backyard, and left after putting the things down.

In order to thank her for her help, Song Zhoubai simply waved his hand and gave her a carriage.

Wen Shutang accepted it without any hesitation. With a carriage, it would be more convenient to travel to the town on a daily basis.

Xiao Yizhuo sat in the front driving the carriage, while the Wen brothers and sisters sat in the carriage chatting.

Wen Yaoshi and Wen Ruizhou already knew everything, and Wen Yaoshi asked curiously.

"How did my sister know that Lu Jinshi was the mastermind?"

"I don't know. It's just that this matter was obviously premeditated. The young master deliberately said that the perfume had not arrived today in order to lure out the murderer. After all, how could he resist mocking me? Now that I think about it, it is true. Once the Song family falls, the Lu family will be the one to benefit the most."

Wen Shutang smiled and fiddled with the newly bought white porcelain bowl in his hand. The white bowl was pleasing to the eye.

"Since someone robbed us the first time, there must be a second time. This is called luring the snake out of its hole."
