"Alright," Lian Rong agreed, and followed Zhang Yongchang out.
Meanwhile, Zhuang Qingning had arrived at the tofu stall and indeed saw a man leading two government officials standing in front of the stall, their faces looking rather displeased.
Zhuang Qingsui, in her frantic state, upon seeing Zhuang Qingning approach, hurriedly grabbed her hand. "Sister, government officials have come and asked whether I was the girl who encountered the kidnappers. I'm unsure of what exactly transpired and suggested they might have identified the wrong person. However, they said that ours is the only tofu stall in town, and there was no chance of error."
"Sister, what's going on, and what's this about kidnappers? When did we meet any kidnappers?"
"It's okay, Qingsui. I know about it, and I will talk to them. Don't be scared." Zhuang Qingning gently patted Zhuang Qingsui's hand to comfort her.
