"Wait!" Zhou Zhongyi hurried over and tried to stop him. Dazhi handed the meat floss he was holding to Lord Liu. "This is the meat floss that this young master and Miss Dong bought at Changfuji. Lord Zhang, this is the portion I bought, and it's still unopened."

Master Liu's heart skipped a beat, and he bowed and smiled apologetically, "Second Young Master, what do you mean?"

Zhou Zhongyi showed no mercy. "Of course I want to let you see if there is anything unclean in my bag. Please act quickly, Master Zhang."

Lord Liu glanced at the person beside him, hesitated for a moment, and whispered, "Second Master, Miss Dong is not..."

Zhou Zhongyi interrupted impatiently, "This young master asked you to take action, perhaps you didn't hear it?"

Lord Liu shut up awkwardly, untied the hemp rope on the package with his own hands, and peeled off the oil paper with the Changfuji seal layer by layer, revealing a large piece of soft, crispy and golden meat floss.

Dong Pan covered his forehead and smiled sadly, "It seems that my second brother is luckier than mine. We bought them together, but mine is the only one that is like this."

With tears in her eyes, Cong Xi said, "It's all my fault. I've never seen meat floss before, so I didn't notice anything unusual."

Zhou Zhongyi was furious and was about to speak when he was interrupted by someone beside him.

"Miss Dong, you don't know." A blue figure appeared in front of everyone. She had a pair of big, bright eyes on her oval face, but her expression was unusually dull. Only those who were close to her could tell from her clasped hands hanging in front of her that she was in a bad mood.

"The meat floss in our store is freshly taken out from large ceramic pots, weighed and then wrapped in oil paper before being handed to customers. When the new meat floss arrives at the store, the store manager will bring people to inspect it immediately to ensure that no contaminants are allowed to fall into it."

Everyone looked at the two packages of meat floss on the counter again and began to talk in low voices.

"You and the Second Young Master purchased the same type of meat floss, and at the same time, the honey-flavored one that arrived in our shop seven days ago. As you mentioned, the impurities in the meat floss came from our shop. Firstly, someone would have noticed it when it was wrapped in oil paper. Secondly, they both came from the same pottery jar. If yours contained something unclean, then logically, the others' should have had issues as well."

As soon as he finished speaking, the discussions around him became noticeably louder than before. The collector had the pottery jars, which had not yet been cleaned, moved out and laid them down so that outsiders could see what was inside.

There was nothing on the inner wall except the golden meat residue. A sweet honey fragrance filled the air and everyone couldn't help swallowing.

Zhou Zhongyi snorted coldly, "Master Zhang, what do you think we should do now?"

Master Zhang was feeling uneasy and couldn't help but wipe the sweat from his forehead with his sleeve. "Second Master, um, um, it seems that there is indeed nothing wrong with Changfuji's meat floss."

Dong Pan leaned on Congxi's shoulder, looking exhausted, and said weakly, "Congxi, I feel like vomiting again."

Congxi hurriedly supported his young lady and was about to argue, but Dong Pan raised his hand to stop him, "Congxi, stop talking. I, I—vomit."

"Could it be that my young lady deliberately harmed herself to this state for a few packets of lousy snacks? What's her intention? My young lady doesn't want you to compensate her, and she's not forcing you to admit your mistakes. Why are you being so aggressive?"

Dong Pan shook his head to stop him, "Congxi, stop talking. To be honest, you had a conflict with the chief steward because of a quarrel that day. Don't offend others and cause trouble again." His words seemed to have a hidden meaning.

After saying this, his face turned pale and he almost fainted, tears streaming down his face. "Miss, could it be that someone did this on purpose, Miss?"

The waiter tugged at the corner of Dashou's clothes and shook his head slowly.

Da Shou glanced at her, firmly pulled away the waiter's hand, and his expression turned serious. "Ms. Dong, your meat floss was already opened when it was delivered. What is the origin of the unknown object inside? It's hard to say."

Dong Pan had completely fainted at this time.

Dashou remained unmoved and continued, "Miss Dong, be careful with what you put in your mouth. Never put it in an unclean place, otherwise I'm afraid what happened today will happen again."

Congxi looked at Master Zhou Er with tears in her eyes for help, and saw that Master Zhou Er was looking at the chief steward with a burning gaze.

From the joyful knot, he spoke pitifully, "Second Master, my young lady..."

Dashou kindly reminded, "Mr. Zhou Er, someone is calling you."

Zhou Zhongyi hesitantly moved aside and said, "Chief Manager, you called me?"

Ambition "——"

From joy "——"

Seeing this, Lord Zhang was so regretful that he left quietly with his men, leaving the master and servant standing there miserably. In the end, the waiter came forward and invited them upstairs to call a doctor and ask for medicine for them.

Gao Di stroked his chin and looked at his second cousin, his face thoughtful. Suddenly, he heard someone calling him. He turned around and saw the princess looking at Chang Fu Ji with curiosity. "Cousin, what happened just now?"

Gao Di scratched his head and thought for a long time, but didn't know what to say.

Seeing that his face was red from holding it in, Lu Yun was at a loss whether to laugh or cry and asked Caihe to go find Dazhi to find out. After a while, after listening to Caihe's retelling, Lu Yun's eyes flashed with murderous intent and she went straight to the second floor without saying a word.

Dong Pan leaned back in her chair as an old doctor carefully felt her pulse. Lu Yun held her shoulders, raised her eyebrows and smiled, "Don't worry, wait until the doctor finishes taking your pulse."

Only Congxi noticed that something was wrong. His eyes moved restlessly. He probably didn't have the courage to do anything under the nose of the noble man. Finally, he lowered his head and stood aside, pretending to be a quail.

The doctor took the pulse for a long time and finally made a conclusion, "This lady has indeed had a stomach upset."

Zhou Zhongyi was surprised and was about to speak when Cai He handed the dirty meat floss to the doctor. "Old man, do you think it's because of eating this?"

Dong Pan's expression was extremely stiff. "My Lady Princess—"

The old doctor took a look, pinched a little with his hand, put it to his nose and sniffed, frowning, "This is just wall dust and pot ash, how can it cause stomach upset? This girl's symptoms are clearly caused by eating uncooked mushrooms, alas, there have been a lot of them recently." As he spoke, he shook his head and wrote out a prescription with ease.

The waiter was delighted and bought a bag of gold-threaded meat floss out of his own pocket, along with a generous medical fee, and sent the old man out.

Zhou Zhongyi pretended to be surprised and said, "Oh, it turns out that he ate mushrooms, tsk tsk tsk!"

Gao Di was eager to learn. "Second cousin, what are mushrooms?"

Looking at Dong Pan again, his face had turned the color of liver. "My Lady Princess, Cong Xi has been spoiled by me. I will ask her to apologize to the chief steward right away."

He was so happy that he felt like he had lost his parents, and he didn't say a word. He no longer had the arrogance he had before.

Lu Yun smiled and said, "Miss Dong, there is something about Changfuji that I have never revealed to anyone."

Dong Pan had a bad feeling in his heart, and his eyes narrowed slightly. "Please enlighten me, Princess."

Lu Yun approached her and lowered her voice, "Changfuji is actually my business. I get 10% of the profits every year, and I will donate this 10% to charity, to build schools, and to provide relief to disabled soldiers..."

Dong Pan's face was pale and his lips were trembling but he couldn't utter a word until he left.
