After Jiaojiao got pregnant, her husband who died in the war came back

Pei Jingyi was not surprised that Xie Shuyao would say this, or he was prepared for it, but when this moment really came, he still couldn't bear it.

He looked directly into Xie Shuyao's eyes and said, "Is there really no chance for us? Can you wait a little longer? Maybe one day..."

Xie Shuyao knew what he was going to say and interrupted him, "I can wait, but not in this situation."

As a shadow who didn't know who she was, Xie Shuyao always felt that Pei Jingyi was looking at another person through her eyes. This feeling was very uncomfortable.

"If one day, I really recover my memory, I will come to find you. Now, I want to leave, is that okay?"

Seeing the person who used to be closest to him saying such cold and distant words, Pei Jingyi's Adam's apple rolled and the emotions on his face were unclear.

After a long while, he finally uttered one word: "Okay."

Xie Shuyao felt relieved. She was really afraid that Pei Jingyi would not let her go and would resort to robbery.

The new emperor ascended the throne and issued a general amnesty. Everything in the world was getting better. Xie Shuyao found Qiao Yue in a nearby village besides the military camp.

Since both of them had nowhere to go, they might as well go together.

Xie Shuyao set her destination in Nanyang, where there are mountains, water and pleasant scenery, making it a good place to live.

Using the knowledge gained in the space, she opened a restaurant locally and made a tidy sum of money.

Her life was so fulfilling that sometimes she almost forgot that she was a person with imperfect memory.

It has been three months since the opening, and Xie Shuyao's Wangyue Tower business is still booming. However, as an outsider and a female shopkeeper, she inevitably aroused dissatisfaction among the surrounding restaurants.

"Why does Wangyue Tower have so many guests every day?"

"That's not to say, but the boss lady is a beauty. We can't compare. Otherwise, you can also get a few beauties to stand at the door. I guarantee that your business will be better than hers."

"Don't say that. I'm doing serious business and I can't do that kind of stuff."

The person who was speaking was the owner of Fumanlou. Before Wangyuelou opened, they were the most famous in the area.

Unfortunately, it is not the case now.

They gossiped without any hesitation, right behind Xie Shuyao and Qiao Yue.

Or rather, they were speaking to just the two of them.

Anyway, there are only two women, what can they do to them?

But Xie Shuyao was not one to be discouraged. She immediately turned around and walked towards him with a fearless look.

"Hey, isn't this the owner of Fu Man Lou? Why, you can't do business with us, so you start spreading rumors behind our backs? You might as well improve your menu instead, so that your business won't be so quiet."

When Gao Shengman saw that Xie Shuyao was confronting him head-on without any hesitation, a hint of unnaturalness flashed across his face.

Although he said this for Xie Shuyao to hear, it would never be right to argue in person.

However, having said that, when things happen, we cannot be afraid.

Gao Shengman immediately said shamelessly: "Am I wrong? I'm just curious about what tricks you used to attract guests to Wangyue Tower. You have grown so big in just a few months. Why don't you teach me and I will learn from you."

Gao Shengman gave Xie Shuyao a slap in the face and then a sweet date, thinking that Xie Shuyao would stop while she was ahead, but Xie Shuyao had no intention of letting him go easily.

"I can teach you, but the first step is to put away your dirty thoughts and stop thinking about these nonsense. Maybe you can go bankrupt later."

Xie Shuyao has grown disgusted with the people in Fumanlou. Not only do they go to Wangyuelou to cause trouble every now and then, but they also always use some tricks. Two days ago, they even caught someone who went to the kitchen of Wangyuelou to put drugs in it.

Gao Shengman and He Shi had been ridiculed like this before, especially by a little girl. He took two steps forward and said angrily:

"You little girl, how can you talk like that? I'm telling you, you're an outsider, you don't have any relatives or friends here, you'd better keep your tail between your legs and behave yourself, otherwise you'll end up dying without knowing why."

At the end of his words, he spat viciously, trying to scare Xie Shuyao with his aura.

How could Xie Shuyao be easily convinced? Seeing this, she started to curse back.

At this moment, a pair of military horses suddenly rushed out from the middle of the road and galloped through the street.

This scene frightened Xie Shuyao so much that she quickly took two steps back.

For some reason, the team suddenly slowed down when they reached Xie Shuyao.

Then she saw Gao Shengman say something to a man on horseback in the middle, and the group left.

Xie Shuyao was quite puzzled. How could a small city like Anyang have so many soldiers? Could it be that there was going to be another war?

Seeing her serious expression, Gao Shengman suddenly laughed twice, "How can a group of soldiers scare you like this? After all, you are a girl, and the most important thing is to find a good husband and marry him, why open a restaurant?"

"See? This is the newly appointed Jianghuai General. The person who just spoke to me is my uncle, who works under the general. I advise you to think before you speak. Trouble comes from the mouth!"

Seeing that Xie Shuyao was about to step forward to argue, Qiao Yue quickly pulled her clothes from behind and said, "Let's go. This guy is a scoundrel. Let's not bother with him."

Although Xie Shuyao was angry, she felt that what Qiao Yue said made sense. She rolled her eyes at Gao Shengman and said, "Manager Gao, take your time to look around. You have nothing to do anyway. Wangyue Tower should be occupied by now. We have to get busy."

When these words came out, it was more painful than slapping him twice.

After Xie Shuyao walked away, Gao Shengman said grimly, "Just wait and see! Sooner or later, I will drive you out of Nanyang."

I don’t know if it was God’s way of compensating Xie Shuyao’s hurt heart, but the next day, Wangyue Tower received a big order.

The new commander-in-chief of Jianghuai had just assumed office and wanted to hold a banquet to open his government, and specifically requested that Wangyue Tower be the venue.

This made Xie Shuyao very happy. If this order was completed, Wangyue Tower's position in Nanyang would be guaranteed.

By then, no matter whether it is Fu Man Lou or Jin Man Lou, none of them will be her match.

After receiving the order, Xie Shuyao began to prepare, from ordering dishes to selecting ingredients, she did everything personally.

This busy work took half a month.

However, the day before the food tasting, she was suddenly told that Wangyue Tower would no longer be used for the banquet.

Xie Shuyao was a little dumbfounded.

"Sir, you came to inform us personally at the beginning, and specifically asked us to prepare for the Moon Watching Tower. How could you change your mind so suddenly?"

The visitor looked embarrassed, as if he had no idea how to answer this question.

"Boss, I'm just a messenger. I really can't make the decision on this matter. Please don't make it difficult for me."

Xie Shuyao pursed her lips, knowing that she had to accept the situation, but she still wanted to figure out what was going on.

She said in a steady voice, "Then can you tell me, if you didn't give the banquet to me, who did you give it to?"

The visitor didn't want to say much, but seeing that Xie Shuyao was a girl, it was not easy for her, so he quietly leaned over and said, "It's Fu Man Lou."
