A small breakfast shop in the street market, supporting the family and making money

Yesterday she thought that Xue Zhuang was threatened by Wang Qingshu and had no choice but to sell the shop to Wang Qingshu. Now it seems that there is something else going on.

Seeing that she was puzzled, Sheng Yuxing stopped keeping her in suspense and said, "Xue Zhuang is Wang Qingshu's father-in-law."

Seeing her astonishment, Sheng Yuxing added leisurely, "To be precise, he is Wang Qingshu's eighteenth father-in-law."

Leng Yan was so shocked that her mouth couldn't close. Then she reacted.

The eighteenth father-in-law, the daughter of Xue Zhuang, is Wang Qingshu’s eighteenth concubine Xue Jiaomei.

It was the Xue Jiaomei who went to Xianju Pavilion for dinner while pregnant, and then framed Xianju Pavilion for having poisonous silver sprouts, forcing Xianju Pavilion to disclose the recipe for producing silver sprouts. It was that Xue Jiaomei.

"These two people are actually father and daughter, and the shop we rented is actually from the Xue family!"

"Yes."

Sheng Yuxing nodded, "But the matter here is not simple, the grudges are huge, and our Sheng family only figured it out recently."

"What do you mean?" Leng Yan looked at him in surprise.

Sheng Yuxing did not hide it and cleared his throat, "As you can see, this shop was built before the Xue family father and daughter knew Wang Qingshu.

This shop is the survival sustenance of Xue's father and daughter. If I remember correctly, this shop was originally a teahouse selling sesame cakes, and the business was run by Xue's father and daughter.

Xue Jiaomei was pretty and had good tea-making skills, so the business in the shop was always good and the father and daughter could barely make ends meet.

More importantly, Xue Jiaomei's childhood sweetheart is also helping out in the shop.

Although Xue Zhuang looked down on his daughter's childhood sweetheart, he agreed to marry into the Xue family because his childhood sweetheart's parents had both passed away, he was good-looking and capable.

Therefore, although Xue Zhuang looked down on this person, he thought that this person was good to his daughter, and his daughter also liked her very much. More importantly, this person was also very filial.

So for the sake of his daughter's future happiness and his own retirement, he turned a blind eye and accepted this future son-in-law.

The days passed happily and peacefully, just when Xue Zhuang was preparing to plan a wedding for his daughter and his girlfriend.

On a quiet afternoon, they met Wang Qingshu, who was coming back from the south and came here to rest. Their peaceful days seemed to be over, and only undercurrents were left.

It's a clichéd story: the powerful Wang Qingshu falls in love with the beautiful Xue Jiaomei, who is younger than his own daughter.

Xue Zhuang did not agree at first. After all, Wang Qingshu was so old and his daughter would just be a concubine if she married him.

But money can make people excited, and the thing the Wang family has the most is money. Xue Zhuang's greed makes him more and more greedy.

In the end, he forced his daughter to get married, forced her to break up with her childhood sweetheart, and even drove her out of the Xue family.

Xue Jiaomei swore to die rather than obey, and planned to elope with her childhood sweetheart, but Wang Qingshu found out about it.

Afterwards, Wang Qingshu ordered his men to capture Zhuma and torture him to death. When Xue Jiaomei heard the news, she fainted.

When she woke up, she was carried into the Wang family's house in a sedan chair.

Xue Zhuang also got his wish and moved from the small place of Hulu Town to a big house in Beicheng County, where he had countless slaves to serve him.

Leng Yan didn't know what to say for a moment after hearing this. After a long while, she said, "How can Xue Jiaomei really have no grudges against her childhood sweetheart who was beaten to death?"

In the limited times she had heard about Xue Jiaomei's personality and seen it with her own eyes, she only felt that this person was arrogant and domineering, like a beautiful vase.

But it may also be that Xue Jiaomei disguised herself very well, and she didn't have much contact with her, so she couldn't see clearly.

Sheng Yuxing nodded: "You are right, how can there be no grudges."

Her childhood sweetheart died when they were most in love, how could she not feel sad and upset?"

“So since we found out about this, our Sheng family sent someone to contact her, but guess what happened.

Xue Jiaomei is indeed collecting evidence of Wang Qingshu's crimes, preparing to expose them all at once."

Although Wang Qingshu was very suspicious, he did not trust anyone.

But Xue Jiaomei also disguised herself very well. She knew that she was forced to be a concubine and was powerless to change it. After she woke up, she first cried, made a fuss, and then tried to hang herself.

After gradually discovering the wealth of the Wang family, she began to show the same greed for money, extravagant eating and drinking, and arrogance as her father. However, she was humble and tried to please Wang Qingshu. At the beginning of the year, she just gave birth to a son for Wang Qingshu.

You should know that Wang Qingshu had countless daughters, but very few sons. Some of them died at birth or had illnesses. It was rare for him to give birth to a healthy son, which made Wang Qingshu very happy.

Therefore, Xue Jiaomei's status as a mother rose rapidly due to her son's status. She had a high position in the Wang family, which made it much easier for her to do things.

"That's it."

Leng Yan nodded repeatedly in admiration, "Sure enough, no one can underestimate a woman."

"It's not just Xue Jiaomei who is like this."

Sheng Yuxing continued, "The daughters of the Wang family were sent alive to please the rich and powerful because their father was greedy and ruthless, and then they were tortured and covered with bruises.

The daughters of the Wang family have been dissatisfied with their father for a long time, so they are eager to expose all of Wang Qingshu's crimes.

So even if they don't take action openly, they will secretly add fuel to the flames. In addition, the Zhao family of Xianju Pavilion is eyeing them covetously. With new hatred and old grudges, Wang Qingshu can no longer jump around."

Sheng Yuxing wanted to say that, in fact, there was someone behind Wang Qingshu, and that was the reason why Wang Qingshu had not been touched before. But now that Prince Gu Yin had taken action, everything could be simplified.

Therefore, since the matter could be resolved smoothly, there is no need to explain the complex relationship behind it.

"So the matter is resolved now. Wang Qingshu can no longer force us to buy our recipes?"

Sheng Yuxing nodded, "It can be said that with the fire in the backyard and the enemies adding fuel to the flames, Wang Qingshu is probably too busy to take care of himself now."

Leng Yan showed a hint of joy when he heard this.

"That's great. I'll go to the dental clinic and buy a shop soon. I'll try to move the shop in the next two days, so I don't have to rent Wang Qingshu's shop now, which is unlucky."

"Sure, but if we go to rent or buy now, we won't be able to find a suitable one. The brokerage firm gets the news late, and I guess they are still concerned about the power of the Wang family. I'm afraid we won't be able to find a satisfactory shop."

Sheng Yuxing waved his hand and said, "If Miss Leng is trustworthy, our Sheng family has a vacant shop nearby. If Miss Leng likes it, our Sheng family can rent it or sell it."

As he said that, he took Leng Yan to look at the nearby shops. They walked along the way and took a closer look. Whether it was the geographical location or the flow of people, they were all first-class.
