The fate was changed, the mistress of the Hou family was slapped in the face and made money to win

"You were wearing tattered clothes, so you didn't really see anything wrong with you. But your hair was clean, and it was stained with the mixed smell of food and oil smoke. This smell was most likely acquired when you were in the kitchen."

Xi'er was startled. "Your servant, I was indeed helping out in the kitchen at Jinfeng Tower."

At that time, the shopkeeper specially found a set of tattered clothes for her, and her face was dirty, but she had just washed her hair the day before, because he was afraid that she would be disliked in the restaurant if it was too dirty.

"So Miss, you brought this servant back here on purpose in the first place?"

Jiang Suining nodded, "I wanted to verify whether you were deliberately arranged by someone. Of course, Zheng Yan'er did not disappoint me. When she saw you being brought back, she couldn't wait to meet you that night."

When Xier quietly slipped out of the yard, she and Biyun were watching in the dark, and they heard everything, including their conversation.

As for everything that happened later, including letting Xier see the recipe, successfully stealing the recipe during the coming-of-age ceremony, the slow business at Ningxiu Restaurant, Biyun's worry, etc., they were all performed for Zheng Yaner to see.

Even the recipe was specially prepared for Zheng Yan'er. Most of the ingredients actually used in Ningxiu Restaurant were not the ones marked above, but the chef was indeed skilled and had studied it carefully to produce excellent results with ordinary ingredients.

"Sister, why are you doing this?" Jiang Mushi was puzzled. "Since you have already discovered Zheng Yan'er's tricks, why don't you just expose her? After all, Ningxiu Restaurant's business has really been affected during this period of time."

Jiang Suining looked at Jiang Mushi and said after a moment, "Since you are going to fight back, you have to kill him with one strike. Being vague will only lead to endless entanglement."

If she had brought Xier to Zheng at the beginning, Zheng would definitely scold Zheng Yan'er when she found out about this, but that might be all.

After all, since no substantial harm has been caused to him, Jinfeng Tower should continue to operate. Even if it cannot be opened, Zheng Yan'er will still stay in the Jiang family and no other trouble will arise.

She didn't have enough patience to expose Zheng Yan'er's schemes again and again. In this case, she might as well wait until things became more serious and there were more evidences before defeating the enemy in one fell swoop.

Of course, she also had to thank Zheng Yan'er. Her suicidal plot had backfired on Zheng, giving her enough evidence to completely drive her out of the Jiang family.

"So, sister, you knew Zheng Yan'er was going to steal the recipe, but instead of exposing her, you played along with her, all you did was send that expensive recipe to Zheng Yan'er, and let her lose money to gain publicity. You even guessed that Zheng Yan'er would not be able to make ends meet with the remaining money, so you would take a risk and tamper with the dishes, and then Jinfenglou would be completely closed down."

As a result, although Ningxiu Restaurant lost a few days of business, the threat from Jinfeng Tower was completely eliminated. My sister is so powerful!

"I have no way of being completely sure whether Zheng Yan'er will tamper with the dishes, but what is certain is that the more money invested, the less likely it is that Zheng Yan'er will stop. Even if it is not as shoddy as it is now, there may be problems in other aspects. After all, it is normal for a desperate dog to jump over the wall."

Good quality and low price are of course good, but business is ultimately about healthy competition. Zheng Yaner's approach of hurting the enemy by 800 and hurting herself by 1,000 will ultimately be unsustainable even if she can gain a temporary advantage.

"Miss is right. Zheng Yan'er will get into trouble sooner or later if she is desperate. And in the final analysis, it is her own fault for wanting to steal the recipe, otherwise she would not have ended up like this!" Biyun's tone was filled with excitement.

She had been acting with Jiang Suining for some time, and just now she finally saw what happened to Zheng Yan'er. She is still feeling a little uncomfortable.

"That's true, but if she didn't have the intention of stealing the recipe from the beginning, would we be unable to catch her?" Jiang Mushi thought for a moment and spoke.

"She will have some ideas." Jiang Suining said firmly.

"Why?" Jiang Mushi asked.

Jiang Suining spoke in her heart, because the two diners at the door of Jinfeng Tower that day were arranged by her.

She believed that she had never been a kind, generous, or tolerant person. When the Jiang family spread the rumor before, she had forgiven Zheng Yan'er once for the sake of Zheng's face, but it would only happen that time.

Since Zheng Yan'er wanted to challenge her through Jinfeng Tower, how could she not make a move?

As for the current result...

Zheng Yan'er did not have no chance to do business properly. If she could give up stealing the recipe and put all her energy into running Jinfenglou well, or if she could make good dishes seriously after getting the recipe instead of just thinking about lowering the price to squeeze out Ningxiu Restaurant, Jinfenglou would not have ended up like this.

Now we can only say that Zheng Yan'er brought this upon herself.

Jiang Suining gathered his thoughts and did not answer Jiang Mushi's question. His gaze fell on Xier again.

"Now, it's time to talk about you."

Xier trembled all over and kowtowed to Jiang Suining repeatedly.

"Miss, I deceived you. No matter how you want to punish me, I will accept it. But please let my godmother go and don't pursue her!"

She just wanted to cure her godmother's illness. She also knew that she had done something wrong. Now she didn't ask for anything except that this matter would not affect her godmother.

Jiang Suining looked at Xier who kept kowtowing, "Are you willing to stay with me?"

The latter suddenly stopped kowtowing, thinking that he had heard wrongly, and looked at Jiang Suining in confusion.

"After Zheng Yan'er gave you the laxative, I gave you two chances to add the laxative to the food, but you didn't do it both times. Why?"

Xier bit her lip, lowered her head and said in a muffled voice: "I dare not, this is something that will harm others, and you and Biyun are really good to me, Miss, I, I..."

She really couldn't bring herself to do it. She really wanted her godmother's illness to be cured, and she was also afraid of the threats from the shopkeeper, but she couldn't live with her conscience.

Jiang Suining nodded, "I believe you and am willing to give you a chance. What about you? Are you willing to stay with me?"

"Is it really possible?" Xi'er asked nervously, "Miss, you really don't blame me and are willing to keep me?"

"Yes, and you don't have to worry about your godmother. I have sent people to watch her secretly. Her condition is temporarily stable. I will find a doctor to treat her next."

Xier's eyes were hot, and tears welled up in her eyes. "Thank you very much, Miss. Thank you very much, Miss. I am willing to stay! I will never be able to repay your kindness in my lifetime!"

It was getting late, Jiang Suining signaled Biyun to help Xier up and bring her back to the yard.

Jiang Mushi also returned to his own courtyard, but apparently few people in the Jiang family could sleep well that night.

The day dawned quickly, the next morning in the front yard of the Jiang family.

When Zheng Yan'er was brought over, all the blood had drained from her face, and at first glance she seemed to have lost all vitality, but her eyes were still filled with hatred.

The servant who was guarding Zheng Yan'er last night presented a bundle to Zheng and Jiang Zhitong...
