The next day, Xuanyuan Li's life hung by a thread.
All the princes, ministers, and concubines knelt outside the palace.
The crying sounded like leaves rustling in the wind.
Since Hu Luanfei was a foreign lady from another country, she could only follow Hu Cuiwei from a distance.
Hu Cuiwei, wearing a light green palace dress, stood on the wall, gazing at the people kneeling in the distance, "Luan Fei, in your heart, is my mother cruel?"
From the perspective of an outsider, Hu Cuiwei was not only daring but also ruthless and cruel. However, from the perspective of the person involved, her cruelty was not enough.
Before Hu Luanfei could answer, Hu Cuiwei sent her away, "I don't need your help with the rest. Go back to where you belong and stay with the one you love forever."
"Mother..."
"Luan Fei." Hu Cuiwei called her name gently, "If one day Qi Siriao becomes like your father, I hope you can kill him without hesitation, and never let the so-called affection hold you back."
"Mother, I will not be bound by emotions."
"Well, go back. I sent someone to bring you a lot of gold, silver and jewelry. They are already loaded in the carriage."
"Mother, Concubine De..."
"She is not to be feared. As long as Xuanyuan Li dies, she will be free and will no longer stand in the way of your brother's succession to the throne."
Hu Luanfei wanted to say something else, but a eunuch suddenly came out of the Yangxin Palace, with a mournful face, and shouted to everyone, "Your Majesty, you have passed away!"
Suddenly there was a burst of crying.
The people in the Ministry of Internal Affairs had already hung up the prepared white silk, and everyone was waiting for Xuanyuan Li's death.
So is Hu Luanfei.
She had no feelings for this stepfather. In fact, she hated indecisive men, and even more so, men who beat women at every turn.
When A Niang was beaten, she couldn't go forward to help because A Niang said she wanted to understand Xuanyuan Li's past.
As soon as Hu Luanfei's carriage left the palace, the news of Xuanyuan Li's death spread throughout the streets and alleys like wings. Every household hung white silk and the whole country mourned.
……
"Madam, our restaurant has been closed."
Not long after returning to Taohua Village, Jiang Wu brought Yun Xuxu to tell him the news.
She knew this.
All her properties in Beiqiu were expelled.
Qiu Xu is here too.
The heads of various restaurants gathered together.
Taking advantage of this rare opportunity, Hu Luanfei told everyone about his next plan. "Everyone knows about our industry being expelled from Beiqiu. Without further ado, I now have a plan to move those restaurants to our Menghu Mountain..."
Qiu Xu was worried, "Menghu Mountain is still under development, and the customer flow is relatively small. I am worried that if several restaurants move there at the same time, it will be difficult in all aspects."
The owners of several restaurants agreed with Qiu Xu's statement. After all, Menghu Mountain was indeed unsightly in the eyes of outsiders.
Hu Luanfei also considered the consequences and asked everyone various questions, including Qiu Xu. They did not agree to move the restaurant to Menghu Mountain.
In other words, Hu Luan had to start all over again.
Everyone was certain that the criticism in the palace was directed only at Hu Luanfei, so they all wanted to take control of those restaurants.
Hu Luanfei disagreed and looked at Qiu Xu, "I wouldn't blame you if you were like them."
Qiu Xu shrank back in fear when he heard this: "Don't exclude me. I, Qiu Xu, am always in the same boat with you."
Zuihualou was on the verge of bankruptcy, but was revived because of Hu Luanfei's intervention. Zuiyuelou, Zuixinglou and Zuixilou had just opened, but because of Hu Luanfei's secret recipe, they attracted many customers and had cooperation from nearby schools, so they would not go bankrupt for the time being.
So Hu Luanfei transferred those restaurants.
Jiang Wu and Yun Xuxu had followed Hu Luanfei for so long, and they were quite indignant. Yun Xuxu said, "Those people have such big appetites. They didn't even look at how they begged the queen to take them in in the first place."
Jiang Wu was worried, "Those restaurants are the most profitable. Without them, I don't know how much we will lose."
Yun Xuxu's face immediately turned long and she said angrily, "It's fine if those few people took advantage of us, but they also won't let us continue to use the Zuiyue Tower, Zuixing Tower, and Zuixi Tower's signboards. Damn it, it's really unreasonable."
"No problem." Hu Luanfei made a lot of money from those restaurants. He smiled as he counted the silver notes given by those fools. He took out one of the 100-liang notes and handed it to Yun Xuxu. "Here, this is your reward."
The reward was so high that Yun Xuxu, who had been chattering nonstop, dared not take it and looked at Jiang Wu fearfully.
Hu Luanfei laughed and said, "You have been running the restaurant for so long and I haven't properly calculated your wages. Take it and buy yourself some new clothes. I am tired of seeing you wearing the same ones over and over again."
Yun Xuxu twisted her hands and suddenly became shy, which was very different from the impetuous attitude when they first met. Hu Luanfei looked at Jiang Wu meaningfully. This guy is really good at controlling his wife. Qi Siriao and Jiang Wu must not be allowed to stay together for too long.
Jiang Wu was stared at for a long time and scratched the back of his head, "Is there something on me?"
Hu Luanfei smiled and shook his head, then his gaze fell on Yun Xuxu's face. She was as shy as the peach blossoms in March, with a light pink complexion, and very pretty.
Yun Xuxu whispered, "Just give the banknote to Jiang Wu, I'll..."
Before she finished speaking, Hu Luanfei held her hand, put the banknote into her palm, and said with a smile: "I don't like men being housekeepers. Women, as long as they have money in their hands, they can go anywhere and do anything."
Hu Luanfei's words were pleasing to the ear. Yun Xuxu couldn't help but straighten her back, bit her lip lightly, and pretended to put the banknotes away. She also gestured to Jiang Wu proudly, as if to say: Look, the queen is supporting me.
Jiang Wu couldn't do anything with her, so he shook his head helplessly and patted her little head lovingly.
Originally, this scene was nothing special, but I suddenly remembered that I hadn't seen Qi Si Liao for a long time. When I was with Qi Si Liao, although I was not as comfortable as others, it was still interesting.
"Madam." Jiang Wu interrupted her thoughts, "There is no time to lose, let's spread the news of the restaurant's relocation."
"I have already made arrangements since Xuanyuan Li issued the imperial decree. We will open a hot pot restaurant, a buffet restaurant, and a seafood restaurant in our industrial park. The rest of the shops will be reserved to attract more bosses. By the way, if you are interested in going it alone, you can also choose a shop with a good location."
Jiang Wu and Yun Xuxu looked at each other, and each understood the other's intentions. Jiang Wu said, "After this change, I have understood some truths. I think it is better to assign my own people to be the person in charge of the restaurant, so I have discussed it with Xuxu before. She will open another bun shop, and I will continue to be the chef in the restaurant."
