An Ning didn't know that Madam Yan had long harbored suspicions about An Yu.
So, she used her usual method and said, "There are some issues with the business in the county. Uncle Erlai needs to stay home and figure things out for the next couple of days, so he asked my brother to stay in the county to help solve the problem."
"What? Something went wrong with the business? What problem? Is your brother in any danger?" Madam Yan immediately became even more anxious.
An Ning smiled, "Don't worry, Mother. If it were something serious, I wouldn't feel comfortable leaving my brother there. It's just that the latest batch of preserved eggs didn't turn out well, so the restaurant is a bit difficult to deal with. It's just a matter of compensating some taels of silver, which isn't a big problem for us... nothing too serious..."
"Since you said it's nothing serious, then why insist on leaving your brother there?" Madam Yan asked without thinking.
