The Concubine's Daughter Travels Through Time and Space and Takes the Road of Confrontation

The news of the prince being attacked was secretly spread in Dali City through the mouths of people with ulterior motives.

The owner of Junzixuan had noticed that the servants in the mansion had been looking at him with strange eyes recently. After realizing that someone was spying on him, Zhou Zhongyi could no longer bear it and rushed to Muyangju with great anger.

Liuzi looked at the second young master in front of him and felt a headache, not knowing how to convey the message to his master.

Zhou Zhongyi pushed him aside with a dark face and strode into the house.

Zhou Boli and Princess Ning'an were sitting in the room, with several drawings with messy lines on the table in front of them.

"Zhou Boli!" Zhou Zhongyi glared at him. "Why did you frame me?"

Zhou Boli glanced at him calmly and said, "Zhou Zhongyi, you think too much."

Zhou Zhongyi was furious. "Bah! Rumors have been spreading throughout the mansion lately, and they've been secretly trying to pin the blame on me for your attack. If it weren't for your secret instructions, would they dare to do this?"

Zhou Boli: "You are right, but I didn't do it. Or is it—" He said with a half-smile, "Are you feeling guilty?"

Lu Yun: “——” This person is so bad!

Zhou Zhongyi was furious and his face turned red in an instant. Dazhi and Liuzi carried him out of Muyangju on both sides.

Lu Yun clicked her tongue, "Zhou Boli, you really know how to piss people off."

Under the watchful eyes of the public, the Second Young Master was expelled from Muyang Residence, causing even more rumors within the mansion. Seeing the situation becoming increasingly chaotic, Housekeeper Zhou took the opportunity of sending the monthly silver to hint at something, but Princess Gao showed no reaction, nor did Sansitang.

Dazhi said respectfully, "Sir, Miss Caihe is here to give you something on the orders of the princess."

Zhou Zhongyi was about to say no when he remembered the durian fruit from last time. He stretched his neck and looked at the gate of the yard. There was indeed a figure standing at the gate, holding a tray covered with a red cloth in his hand.

"Ahem, let her in."

Cai He smiled and placed the tray on the table. "This is Chang Fu Ji's new product, pork floss, and a cooked dish called spicy chicken. The princess sent a servant to bring some to the Second Young Master to try. Also, this wooden sign is specially prepared by Chang Fu Ji for VIPs. With this sign, you can skip the line and have priority to taste and purchase the new products."

Zhou Zhongyi was a little disappointed and nodded perfunctorily, "I understand. Thank you, Princess."

Cai He returned to He Yue Pavilion, looking puzzled, "Master, why did you give these to the Second Young Master?"

Lu Yun put down the terraced field design in her hand and said, "Are you trying to explain why you had to send something to Junzixuan when you can buy it at Changfuji?"

Because she found out that Zhou Zhongyi was an ancient version of a otaku and a foodie who only loved delicious food!

Just after the delivery in the morning, news came in the afternoon that the second young master was going out.

Zhou Zhongyi sat in the car, looking at the long line in front of the store, and recognized that some of them were servants from other families.

"It seems this meat floss is quite famous."

Zhou Zhongyi straightened his clothes and leisurely got out of the car, holding a folding fan. Under the envious gaze of the crowd, he showed the wooden sign that symbolized his VIP status to the waiter standing at the door to greet him.

The waiter said respectfully, "Mr. Zhou, please come in."

A hint of surprise flashed in Zhou Zhongyi's eyes. "How do you know my name?"

The waiter replied softly, "The wooden plaque you hold is one of only nine we've given out so far. The owner of each plaque corresponds to the number on it. That's how I can recognize your identity."

Zhou Zhongyi surveyed the shop's interior as he followed the waiter up to the second floor. The second floor was more elegant and private. Black lacquer screens inlaid with mother-of-pearl divided the space into uniformly sized squares.

In each space, there are chairs covered with cotton mattresses placed around a low table. The long ones can accommodate one person lying down or three to four people sitting, while the short ones can only accommodate one person.

Zhou Zhongyi sat down on the chair. The cushion beneath him was soft and elastic, and the aroma of tea lingered in the air. He pouted in confusion. Is it really that important to sell food?

The waiter reappeared, leading a round-faced, almond-eyed girl. "Hello, Mr. Zhou! This is our shop manager. She'll be here to introduce Chang Fu Ji's new products."

As soon as he finished speaking, the chief steward began to introduce him expressionlessly, in a serious tone with no ups and downs in his voice, just like - Zhou Zhongyi thought for a moment and suddenly realized that it was like himself reciting a letter in front of his father.

Zhou Zhongyi glanced at the waiter, who looked as usual and smiling, and his face was full of confusion.

"Mr. Zhou, how do you feel?"

To be honest, it's not very good. Zhou Zhongyi said, "Ahem, pack five of each of your new products. I want to take them away."

"Excuse me, Master Zhou," the waiter said awkwardly, "We have plenty of the new pork floss, but the cooked spicy chicken is limited to one serving per day."

The chief steward nodded seriously.

Zhou Zhongyi took out a wooden sign and slammed it on the table, not very happy. "Then what's the point of sending this to me?"

The chief steward explained expressionlessly, "Only those holding the wooden sign are eligible to purchase a serving of spicy diced chicken."

Zhou Zhongyi decisively took back the wooden sign and said, "Okay, I'll come back tomorrow."

The round-faced steward bared his teeth and said, "Mr. Zhou, we'll have a new product, pork floss cake, tomorrow. It's not officially on sale yet, but VIPs can try it first."

When leaving Changfuji, eight waiters lined the road to see him off, bowing in unison and shouting, "Welcome, Master Zhou, come back next time!"

Facing everyone's gaze, Zhou Zhongyi gritted his teeth and got on the carriage.

A servant in the crowd's eyes flickered, and he turned and disappeared into the alley.

Mrs. Hui, who had been staying indoors for a month, appeared in public again.

The Zhang family's old man's birthday was celebrated by all the prominent families in the city. Besides the old man Gong, the Gong family also included Madam Hui from the first wife's house and the second daughter of the Gong family.

Compared to previous appearances, today's appearances of Madam Hui and the Second Miss Gong were much more low-key. Madam Hui was much more understated. She wore a royal blue, wide-sleeved gown with a kingfisher headpiece. Other than that, there were no other embellishments, and the sleeves were long enough to cover her bare wrists.

The Second Miss Gong wore a light pink top with a moon-white pleated skirt, and her head jewelry was also mainly light-colored pearls and glass. She stood beside her mother with her eyebrows lowered and her eyes lowered.

Madam Hui handed the gift to the maid beside her and went forward with her daughter to pay her respects.

Old Madam Lu was as kind as ever. She smiled and asked the maid to invite her to sit aside. She took Gong Jinjin's hand and said a few words before letting her leave.

This was the scene Jiao Ying saw when she came in with Caidie. Seeing the scarlet bracelet on Gong Jinjin's wrist, she lowered her eyes, walked forward and knelt down to salute.

"Good boy, get up quickly." Old Madam Lu waved warmly to Jiao Ying below. "Is your grandfather here today?"

Jiao Ying nodded obediently, "Grandpa is here. I'm drinking tea with Grandpa Zhang in the front yard now."

Hearing this, Old Lady Lu smiled at the people around her and said, "It would be great if that unfilial son of mine could give me a granddaughter as obedient and sensible as Yingying."

Mrs. Gui smiled and covered her mouth. "It seems that Master Zhang is about to get married. I wonder which girl you have taken a fancy to. Why don't you tell us so that we can learn from you, old lady?"

Mrs. Lu shook her head. "It's too early. Your Yunwazi is old enough now. Why are you afraid that I will snatch her from you?"

Mrs. Gui didn't miss the string of beads on Gong Jinjin's wrist. "Old lady, you worry too much. My Luo Yun can't compare to Master Xiao Zhang in terms of talent and appearance. I just hope Master Xiao Zhang can find a good wife quickly so that my Luo Yun can find a wife easily."

As soon as the words fell, the whole room was filled with laughter, and many people turned their eyes to the second daughter of the Gong family who was standing beside Mrs. Hui.

Except for Caidie, no one noticed that Jiaoying was sad not far away.
