Chapter 1191
Fortunately, the people Chen Meng’er had arranged were not ordinary people. The matters in Country Y were going on without a hitch.
“Okay, you can go back and do your work.”

The news that the young lady of the Green Gang was going to marry someone had been spread by someone unknown. It had actually spread throughout the entire capital within a day.
“Who spread the news?” Elder Liu, Elder Qu, and Madam Qu were sitting on a stone bench in the garden of the Green Gang, having their tea. No one knew who had suddenly mentioned it, but the news seemed to have spread throughout the capital overnight.
Elder Liu didn’t mind others knowing that his granddaughter was getting married. However, this news was somewhat strange. Other than the members of the Green Gang, Qu family, Marquis Yuwen, and the Buyano family, no one else knew about it.
Also, this news spread too quickly. In just one night, everyone knew about it.
“I really don’t know. Anyway, when I woke up this morning, I had already received a lot of calls from people asking me if Meng’er was really going to get married. I asked them where they heard it from. They all said that it had already spread outside. As for who spread it, we don’t know.” Elder Qu’s focus was different from Elder Liu’s.
“Elder Liu, you don’t know. I have many old friends. Ever since I met Meng’er, all of them had made plans to marry our Meng’er back as their granddaughter-in-law. In the end, before they could make a move, they were suddenly told that she was going to get married. They all chased after me and asked me who I married Meng’er to. They even said that Meng’er is so young, how could she get married so early?” Elder Qu was unable to say anything when his old friend asked.
“Elder Qu, you only heard the good rumors. You did not hear the bad things that were spread outside. It was really infuriating to hear it.” Fatty happened to have something to look for Elder Liu and he just happened to hear what Elder Qu said.
When Fatty said this, Elder Liu’s face immediately darkened. Elder Qu also frowned slightly. He looked at Fatty and asked, “Fatty, what did you hear outside?”
Fatty saw his boss’s expression and knew that he had said something wrong. He looked at Elder Qu awkwardly and then looked at his boss. For a moment, he really did not know what to say.
“Fatty, speak.” Elder Liu knew that even if he did not speak, there would be people who would pass the message to Elder Qu.
“Yes, Sir.” After Fatty obtained Elder Liu’s permission, he spoke. “The rumors outside say that Little Miss got married so early because she was fooling around outside and got pregnant.”
Just as Fatty finished speaking, Elder Qu slapped the stone table.
“B*stard, who dares to spread rumors about my granddaughter outside? If I find out, I’ll cut them to death.” Elder Qu was so angry that his face was red. If he were to take his blood pressure now, it would definitely exceed the standard.
“Grandpa, don’t be so agitated. We can’t control what they say.” Chen Meng’er just happened to be holding some fresh pastries.
“Why can’t I control them? How dare they talk about my granddaughter behind my back? They’re really courting death. If I find out who spread the news, I’ll make sure he’ll never be able to open his mouth,” Elder Liu said murderously. He reached out and took a pastry from the basin that Chen Meng’er had just brought over.
Unfortunately, it was very hot.
When Elder Qu heard Elder Liu’s words, he did not care about the heat as he reached out and took a pastry as well.
“Wifey, hurry up. I’m telling you; you can’t treat yourself as a guest here. If you treat yourself as a guest, you’ll only get to eat the dregs. Oh, so hot, so hot! So delicious, so delicious!” Elder Qu shouted that it was hot. However, he still gobbled it up.
The delicious food that Chen Meng’er brought made everyone temporarily forget about the rumors outside.
“I have prepared knives and forks for you guys. You don’t have to burn your hands. Come, Grandma, let me give you some.” Chen Meng’er looked at the two old men’s funny expressions and shook her head with a smile. She gave Madam Qu a pastry. “Grandma, try it. I made it. Does it suit your taste?”
“It’s made by my granddaughter. How can it not suit my taste?” Madam Qu beamed. In these past few years, it was all thanks to her granddaughter, whom she had found with great difficulty, that she could live so comfortably.
She did not need to be tormented by illness anymore.
“That’s true. Why don’t you take a look at my granddaughter’s craftsmanship? That’s even better than a chef’s craftsmanship.”
“Exactly. It’s much better than the Buyano family’s chef’s cooking. After eating Meng’er’s cooking, I don’t even want to taste that chef’s cooking anymore,” Elder Liu said as he reached out for the second one.
