Dr. Qiao asked bluntly, “Do you want me to get a basin of clear water and wash off this stain on your clothes? Then, I’ll check if there’s poppy powder inside!”

At this moment, the young man completely lost all hope. He could only lower his head and say in a low voice, “There’s no need. I admit that I did add opium poppy powder!”

At this point, the young man looked up at Li Xiaoran angrily.

“Why? Why are all of you the same?! I clearly have the best culinary skills, but none of you need me! My master was like this, my Eldest Senior Brother was like this, and now, you’re all the same! Can’t you guys see my strength?”

When Li Xiaoran heard this man’s words and felt his indignation, she sighed.

“There’s a saying that goes, be a kind person before you do anything! You don’t even have morals as a person, so what right do you have to ask us to look at your merits? Could it be that since you have the talent to govern the country, we have to ignore your cruelty and support you as the emperor? If people don’t even have morals, what’s the difference between them and a beast? As a person, you have to be kind!”

The young man shouted loudly, “What’s the use of being kind? Kind people are cowards who deserve to be bullied and trampled on. I was kind too, but what did I get? I received my mentor’s bias, my senior brothers’ bullying, and the unfairness of life!”

Li Xiaoran scolded angrily when she saw that this man was still being stubborn, “There has never been absolute fairness in this world! However, this isn’t an excuse for you to do evil. Some people are born to live a luxurious life, while others are born poor. According to your idea, shouldn’t those people who were born unlucky be indignant all day long and insist that those people who live a luxurious life give you half of their assets? Is this fair?”

“In life, most things won’t go your way. Even the people who are lucky in your eyes have their own difficulties and troubles. In that case, who should these people ask for justice? You only see unfairness and evil, but I see the good side of things!”

At this point, Li Xiaoran pointed at a vendor not far away and said, “Look at him. One of his hands is already disabled, but he didn’t idle around and wait for death. Instead, he worked hard to create a better tomorrow for himself!”

With that, Li Xiaoran pointed at the blacksmith in the smithy not far away.

“Look at that young man who forged the iron. With his thin and weak body, he can’t support his heavy hammer at all. However, he gritted his teeth and tried again and again without giving up!”

“Look at the old people who set up stalls on the streets to sell groceries. They’ve already reached the age of retirement. However, in order to improve their family’s lives and for their grandson to have more delicious food to eat, they didn’t give up. Instead, they personally cooked in exchange for money to supplement the family’s expenses.”

“Yes, you encountered something unfair, but why didn’t you pull yourself together? You also said that you have good culinary skills. Even if you leave your mentor and your eldest senior brother, you will still have a chance to make a comeback. If your mentor is biased and won’t teach you culinary skills, you can figure it out yourself. Your talent isn’t bad. If you had used it on the right path, you would have long surpassed your mentor and senior brother.

You won’t need them to teach you anything!”

“If you leave your mentor and senior brother, you can go to a new place and use your culinary skills and research. First, find a chef to work for and accumulate money bit by bit. Then, you can buy a shop and start a small business yourself!

But what about you? What did you do instead?”

“Let’s not talk about anything else. Just take today’s matter as an example. If you had made grilled fish without playing tricks, I wouldn’t have made things difficult for you. I even would have hired you because of your barbecue skills and given you a high salary. Unfortunately, you were filled with evil intentions, making you forget how to do things in an upright manner!”

After saying so much in one go, Li Xiaoran finally felt much better.

When the surrounding commoners heard Li Xiaoran’s words, they understood.

“Little Peng, at this point, don’t you know how to repent? Do you still think that your mentor is biased and your senior brothers are bullying you?” At this moment, an old voice came from outside the crowd. When Zhou Peng heard this voice, his eyes widened.

“Mentor, you’re not dead?”

At this moment, a path opened up in the crowd. Five men pushed an old man in a wheelchair in.

As he looked at the person in front of him, tears of regret fell from Zhou Peng’s eyes.

“I’m sorry, mentor! I’m sorry! I didn’t intend to hurt you!”

As Fu Jinhua looked at his little disciple who was kowtowing hard in front of him, he sighed.

“Little Peng! Go back! Go back and start afresh. Become a down-to-earth person. Are you willing to?”

When Zhou Peng heard his mentor’s words, he asked in disbelief, “Mentor, can I still return?”

“Can you? As long as you want to turn back, it’ll never be too late! You have to atone for the sins you committed yourself. My legs are handicapped, but there are many things that you have to make up for regarding Eldest Senior Brother, who was killed by you,” Fu Jinhua said.

Zhou Peng finally nodded when he heard this.

“Mentor, get someone to tie me up and send me to the government office! I’m willing to accept the punishment of the law. If there’s a chance, I’d like make up for my mistake back then!”

Fu Jinhua nodded.

“It’s a good thing that you can think it through! After accepting the punishment of the law, become a good person!”

With that, Fu Jinhua shouted, “Constable Wang, please go ahead!”

From behind the crowd, a few people who looked like constables walked out. Constable Wang, who was at the front, said, “Mr. Fu, don’t worry. No one will make things difficult for your little disciple. Everything will be carried out impartially!”

Soon, Zhou Peng was brought away by Constable Wang. When he passed by Li Xiaoran, Zhou Peng suddenly stopped.

“Have you ever been bullied?”

Li Xiaoran nodded at Zhou Peng and said, “I’ve been bullied before, and by my closest relative.. She squeezed our family dry and didn’t even let us have any full meals!”
