The half-open door was kicked open all of a sudden.

Shen Yunchu only saw her husband Zhao Jingyan holding a woman in his arms.

She rushed over, grabbed the woman's hair, and slapped her again and again.

"Bitch, you dare to seduce my husband, I'll beat you to death today!"

Zhao Jingyan hurriedly protected the woman in his arms, "Yun Chu, no!"

"You are still protecting this little bitch, Zhao Jingyan, are you worthy of me?"

Shen Yunchu's grievances turned into anger.

Today, she will not give up until she beats this little bitch to death!

"Stop!" A guard walked in from outside the door.

With a clang, a knife was placed on Shen Yunchu's neck.

Shen Yunchu was so scared that he screamed loudly and let go of the woman in his arms.

The woman raised her head, and Shen Yunchu realized that it was Princess Anyang.

Anyang straightened his tangled hair and saw a strand of hair fell down.

When Shen Yunchu saw this, he couldn't help but tremble.

"Why, are you scared now? Aren't you going to kill me?"

Anyang pulled out a chair beside him and sat down.

"So what if you are a princess? A princess cannot steal someone else's husband. How shameless! Bah!"

"Pa!" Zhao Jingyan slapped Shen Yunchu.

Shen Yunchu was stunned, tears streaming down his face.

"You two adulterers, I curse you to die miserably!"

Shen Yunchu didn't care that the person in front of her was the terrifying Princess Anyang. She was just angry now.

"Please, Princess, spare me. I will take you back and give you a good education."

Zhao Jingyan bent down towards Anyang.

Anyang looked at him deeply, waved his hand, and the guard took back the knife in his hand.

Zhao Jingyan grabbed Shen Yunchu and dragged him out.

"Zhao Jingyan, you hypocrite! Let me go!"

Shen Yunchu struggled desperately and did not let Zhao Jingyan let her go until she was out of the tavern.

"Enough, if it weren't for you, would I do this?" Zhao Jingyan said with a sad face.

Shen Yunchu's cursing came to an abrupt end.

"Do you know why the princess didn't pursue the matter of Jiuweifang Restaurant last time? It's all because of you, my husband, who has been pleading with the princess for you. If not, you would have been in jail long ago!"

The last time the princess got sick from eating in the restaurant, she didn’t cause any trouble to the owner, which Shen Yunchu did find odd.

Given Anyang's vengeful character, it would have been strange if he hadn't whipped her. As a result, she didn't hear a single word.

After Zhao Jingyan said this, she believed it to some extent.

She asked doubtfully: "Are you really not lying to me? I clearly heard the princess say that she missed you, and you missed her too."

"That was all just a show, understand? If I didn't say that, what would you do if she got angry again?"

"You are my first wife. I definitely don't want anything to happen to you. Even if she wants my life, I will give it to her without hesitation, as long as you are fine."

"I love you so much, but you doubt me and even follow me. It really makes me, your husband, heartbroken!"

Shen Yunchu saw Zhao Jingyan's hurt expression and hurriedly apologized.

"I didn't follow you on purpose. The restaurant brought the bill over a few days ago, and I wanted to see if you were cheated."

"Really? I knew it. You care about me the most. You are virtuous and considerate. That princess is not even worthy of carrying your shoes!"

Zhao Jingyan held Shen Yunchu's hand and said affectionately.

That's because Anyang is domineering and arrogant, how could he be so gentle and considerate as her?

Shen Yunchu thought happily and had forgotten everything that had just happened.

"Does it still hurt?" Zhao Jingyan touched Shen Yunchu's beaten face with heartache.

Shen Yunchu lowered her head shyly, "Well, it doesn't hurt anymore!"

"But my husband feels bad for you! Don't be so reckless next time. If the guard's knife cuts you, you will die. Then, where can I find such a good wife!"

"Yeah, I was wrong today. I won't cause you any trouble, right?"

"It's okay. The worst that can happen is that you will suffer a little injustice. Don't worry, I will definitely earn you a royal title and make all the women envy you. Even the princess will be jealous of you!"

Looking at the affectionate Zhao Jingyan, Shen Yunchu felt that she was truly the chosen one by God, as that was why she was able to snatch such an outstanding man.

And such an outstanding man said that he would make her the happiest woman!

Shen Yunchu was persuaded to go home in a daze. She did not see the disgust in Zhao Jingyan's eyes.

Shen Yunchu began to calculate the money she had. Her recent expenses were too high, so she had to find a way to earn some money.

She remembered that she also had a small restaurant a few blocks away from East Street.

This small restaurant only has one floor and is aimed at ordinary people. It makes a profit of one or two hundred taels of silver a month.

She remembered that in her previous life, there was a remarkable woman who opened a restaurant and was very famous in Beijing.

She remembered that it was also in the spring when she launched a puffer fish banquet. At that time, many dignitaries lined up to eat it.

She asked Chunxiang to find the shopkeeper and told him her idea.

"The boss wants to serve a puffer fish feast?" The shopkeeper was surprised.

The meat of puffer fish is rich, tender, delicious and nutritious.

But this fish is poisonous!

"Don't worry, I know how to treat the fish so it's non-toxic."

Shen Yunchu said affirmatively that she found out about this when she went to eat there once with Xiao Minshen and asked the chef out of curiosity.

"If the owner can remove the poison from puffer fish, we will be the only restaurant that serves puffer fish. This is an opportunity to make a lot of money!"

When the shopkeeper heard this, his eyes lit up.

So, the two of them discussed the specific matters and began to make preparations in full swing.

Within a few days, the news spread throughout Beijing that the Dongxinglou Restaurant launched a puffer fish banquet.

Only a few dozen people are allowed each time, first come first served.

For a while, there were always people queuing up out of curiosity.

There are more people who are waiting and watching, because since ancient times, people who have eaten puffer fish have been poisoned to varying degrees, and in serious cases, have lost their lives.

On the first day, the ten people who went in came out intact.

He also kept praising the deliciousness of the puffer fish and twisted the shopkeeper's hand to get his order in the restaurant.

The next day, a different person came out intact.

Among the people who attended this event, there were students taking exams, and they even recited a poem by Su Shi on the spot.

The pink stonehead is still boneless, and the snow-white pufferfish cannot be used as medicine.

Send a message to the God of Heaven and the God of River, why not ask for some water spirit scales.

As soon as this poem came out, the people who were watching at the beginning all crowded to the counter and made an appointment with the shopkeeper.

Soon, this poem and the news of the puffer fish banquet at the Dongxinglou Restaurant spread throughout the capital.

Many dignitaries also came to make reservations. The restaurant's capacity increased from ten people at the beginning to thirty people later, but it was still unable to meet the demand.

Dongxinglou's business took a step forward, with profits reaching over a thousand taels a month.

It even surpassed the original Jiuweifang Restaurant.

"Our young lady is really good at making money. With just a small idea, she made so much money."

Chunxiang said enviously when she saw the shopkeeper handing in a large stack of banknotes.

"What's the big deal? Your young lady is very capable! I have a big trick up my sleeve!"
