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

"What's going on?" the officer asked.

"It's our boss. She set the prices too low and didn't make any money. She was also afraid that changing the ingredients would affect the taste, so she ordered the kitchen staff to put the leftovers together and re-plated them before serving them to the next table of guests."

"Shut up!" Zheng Yan'er shouted.

"I don't want to continue working here anyway. I can't do such an immoral thing." The chef glared at Zheng Yan'er, "I warned you a long time ago that it's not clean to do this. It's spring now, and the temperature is getting higher and higher. Some leftovers may look fine on the surface, but they are actually inedible. But you still insisted on taking them over. You really have lost your conscience just to make money."

"You're talking nonsense, you're wrongly accusing me!" Zheng Yan'er was so panicked that she tried her best to deny it.

"I can testify that the shopkeeper did give us these instructions, and he even threatened us with our wages, telling us not to tell anyone."

"That's right. The shopkeeper wanted to make money and did something shameful. Now that there's something wrong with the food, he wants to put the blame on us. He's really black-hearted!"

Anyway, everything had been said, and with the head chef taking the lead, the waiters and cooks no longer had any concerns and started speaking up.

When the diners around heard this, their faces suddenly changed, and some people even felt nauseous and vomited directly.

Listening to the curses from the diners around her, Zheng Yan'er stood stiffly in place, with only two words in her mind: It's over!

With the waiters and the cook testifying together, and some diners getting sick from their meals, it was naturally impossible for Jinfenglou to continue operating.

Fortunately, the diners were not seriously injured. In the end, the government made the decision and Zheng Yan'er compensated the guests who had a stomachache with 100 taels of silver. Jinfeng Tower was completely sealed off overnight and was not allowed to open for business again.

As for the other guests, who did not have any health problems, they did not ask for compensation. However, in anger, some of them took the lead in smashing everything in Jinfeng Tower to pieces before the government office sealed it off, leaving nothing of value for Zheng Yan'er.

Moreover, she also needed to compensate the waiters and cooks for their wages, so in the end the Jiang family had to pay to fire those waiters and cooks.

At the Jiang family’s house, although it was already late at night, everyone in the Jiang family gathered in the lobby.

Facing the questioning from Zheng and Jiang Zhitong, Zheng Yan'er's face turned pale.

"I was wrong, but it was Jiang Suining's fault that things turned out like this. If she hadn't called the police, things wouldn't have gotten so serious." Zheng Yan'er said gritting her teeth.

She just wanted to save some costs, which was nothing. Even if someone got sick from eating, if Jiang Suining hadn't made a big deal out of it, the most they would have done would have been to lose some money. All this was because of Jiang Suining!

"You still have the nerve to blame Sui Ning!" Zheng was so angry that she was shaking. "If she hadn't reported it to the police, were you going to put the blame on her?"

She did such a thing in private and even said with certainty that it was Sui Ning who poisoned her. She also said that she saw Xier with her own eyes. How could Yaner frame someone like this?

"Aunt, I just have reasonable suspicion, I..."

"Then can I reasonably suspect that you were the one who arranged Xier to be by my side from the very beginning?" Jiang Suining looked at Zheng Yan'er.

As soon as these words were spoken, Zheng Yan'er's expression stiffened uncontrollably, and this reaction instantly aroused the suspicion of Zheng and Jiang Zhitong.

Their eyes couldn't help but fall on Xier, who was standing behind Jiang Suining. Xier could no longer hold on and she fell to her knees with a plop.

"Miss, I'm sorry, I was forced by the shopkeeper."

At this point, Xier dared not hide anything anymore and confessed everything, including how Zheng Yan'er had used her godmother as a threat, how she had stolen the recipe, and how Zheng Yan'er had asked her to drug her.

Zheng just felt dizzy and a little dizzy from anger.

"Yan'er, tell me, are these true?"

"Of course not, aunt, how can you not believe me? Jiang Suining is framing me for all this. Xier is her maid, and she must have followed her orders to say that!" Zheng Yan'er was still pointing at Jiang Suining in an argumentative manner, her eyes full of anger, as if she had really been greatly wronged.

Jiang Suining looked at her and shook his head slightly, "At this point, sister Yan'er is still unwilling to tell the truth?"

"I'm telling the truth, all this is you..."

"Then let's check the laxative in Xi'er's hand." Jiang Suining interrupted Zheng Yan'er, "This laxative is not something that can be obtained casually. Although there are many pharmacies in the imperial city, it shouldn't take too much time to ask every one of them. I just don't know if Sister Yan'er is still as cautious as she was when she spread the news last time. Did she hire someone to buy the laxative, or did she go there herself?"

Jiang Suining's words instantly blocked Zheng Yaner's sophistry.

When she bought the laxatives, she didn't think too much about it. She really went there in person. If she really checked every store one by one... she would definitely be able to trace it back to herself.

"There is more." Jiang Suining continued, "Who paid for Xier's godmother's medicine? Who is controlling her now? I think this matter can also be used as evidence."

Zheng Yan'er fell completely silent. She knew she couldn't deny it any longer.

Even if no one has been sent to investigate, Zheng Yan'er's speechless look is enough to explain the problem.

Zheng looked at Zheng Yan'er with great disappointment, "If I hadn't heard it with my own ears, I would never have imagined that you would do this. You keep saying that you admire Sui Ning and want to learn from her, but you are lying to me, right?"

Although she knew that Yan'er was wrong about the matter of Jinfeng Tower, she felt that she just wanted to make money and did not care about anything for a while and did some wrong things.

But, she stole the recipe and drugged me...

This was clearly intended to completely destroy Ningxiu Restaurant. Where did the deep hatred between her and Sui Ning come from that would lead them to such an extent?

"Aunt, I just lost my mind for a moment and wanted to defeat Jiang Suining. I really didn't mean to lie to you. Please forgive me this time."

Zheng Yan'er's eyes were filled with tears as she stepped forward and grabbed Zheng's sleeve.

"Don't call me aunt, I'm not ashamed to have a niece like you!"

Zheng wanted to pull her sleeve, but Zheng Yan'er held it tighter.

"Aunt, please don't treat me like this. I really know I was wrong. No matter what, we are blood relatives!"

Jinfeng Tower no longer exists, and her reputation has been ruined. The father and son of the Jiang family have always favored Jiang Suining, and there is no way they would let her stay. Now, for her, Zheng is the last straw.

Zheng looked at her niece, her eyes full of disappointment, but also full of pain and entanglement.

Just then, Jiang Suining shook his head and laughed.

"Blood relatives?" Her tone was slightly cold and mocking. "Zheng Yan'er, don't you feel guilty when you say this?"

"Jiang Suining! Stop stirring up trouble here, you..."

"The last time you and your mother encountered a frightened horse on the street, did you really think it was a perfect match?"
