The younger sister-in-law falsely accused the sickly uncle and ran away with the baby

At this time, Wen Mo's voice sounded outside the door.

"it's me!"

"I heard that my sister came to cause trouble for you and owed you money. I came here to pay you back."

Yu Ruyue breathed a sigh of relief. She took out her handkerchief, wiped the sweat from her forehead, adjusted her expression, and forced a smile before opening the door. "Uncle Wen! Why did you come here in person? It's just a few dishes. I don't want any money!"

Wen Mo smiled and said, "What is Miss Yu doing in the room? Why are you sweating so much? You look very pale."

"Really? What did my sister just say? Did you misunderstand me?"

Yu Ruyue heard the probing tone in Wen Mo's words and raised her hand to wipe the sweat from her forehead. "I traveled all night last night and didn't sleep at all. I just fell asleep while lying on the bed. I have to say that the bed in Tianfulou is really comfortable."

"I slept in a sweat."

"But what Madam Xu said just now really scared me. She wants me to go to her house and be her cook."

"I don't know if I can return alive after I refuse. I think Madam Xu seems quite angry."

Wen Mo: "Don't worry, Miss Yu! My sister is a straightforward person. Sometimes she doesn't even know what she is saying. She just speaks on a whim!"

"But! I heard from Madam Sun that my sister was talking nonsense, saying there would be chaos here and there."

"I wonder what Miss Yu is thinking!?"

If the previous words were a test, the words now were a direct question.

Yu Ruyue suddenly looked worried and sad. "Uncle Wen! I think what Madam Xu said makes a lot of sense. Ever since the natural disaster, our village has been a bit chaotic. Otherwise, I wouldn't have run into my father-in-law who sneaked back in the middle of the night to steal money..."

Yu Ruyue's expression became even sadder when she said this. "My poor uncle was imprisoned because of me."

Seeing that Yu Ruyue's answer was flawless, Wen Mo stopped asking questions.

He just handed her the money in his hand, told her to have a good rest, turned around and went downstairs.

When he got downstairs, he got directly into the carriage parked at the door. Madam Sun was sitting upright inside. When she saw him coming up, she asked anxiously, "Is Ruyue not suspicious?!"

Wen Mo shook his head. "The little girl is really too smart. I just asked her two questions, but she didn't reveal any flaws."

Madam Sun breathed a sigh of relief. "I shouldn't have argued with your sister in public, but my brother is too suspicious. Even if Ruyue noticed something, he wouldn't think about it that way. After all, if he found out, his entire family would be exterminated."

"And with that little girl's intelligence, she definitely won't tell anyone. There's no need for her to kill her to silence her. She's such a lovely girl."

Wen Mo sighed, "My sister is also stupid and too arrogant. That Tongpan is the same. Does she really think that just because she is with a prince, she can do whatever she wants? It's a joke."

"However, Yu Ruyue is indeed a lovely girl. If she really died, I would be reluctant to let her go."

Madam Sun nodded. "She's just a farmer's daughter. She won't affect my brother's plans. Quickly have my brother write a letter to the county magistrate. Once that's done, let her go back."

Wen Mo nodded and said nothing more. He just lifted the curtain and looked at one of the windows on the fourth floor.

He always felt that Yu Ruyue not only guessed it, but was also on guard against them. Perhaps the little girl was standing at the window on the ground floor, looking down.

But if this little girl is so smart, she shouldn't talk nonsense everywhere.

Yu Ruyue, who was hiding in the dark at the fourth-floor window and looking down, happened to see the carriage curtain being lifted. Wen Mo's eagle-like sharp eyes were staring at her window.

She was so scared that she squatted down quickly.

Damn it!

If it was just a guess just now, Wen Mo's actions now directly confirmed her thoughts.

She squatted on the ground and moved towards the bed little by little. When she reached the bed, she collapsed on it and her legs felt weak.

Wen Mo's eyes were so terrifying, they were not what a restaurant owner should have.

It seems that she is really being targeted.

"Boom boom boom!"

Just as she was daydreaming, there was another knock on the door.

Fortunately, she was lying on the bed now. If she was still squatting there, she would probably be scared to death by the knock on the door.

“Who is it!?”

"Miss Yu! It's me!"

It turned out to be the waiter's voice.

She simply tidied her clothes and went out to open the door.

"What's wrong? Is there anything wrong?"

The waiter smiled sheepishly, "Well, there's a table of very wealthy guests downstairs who would like Miss Yu to help cook for them. I really can't refuse, so I came here to ask for your opinion. But don't worry, I won't force you if you don't want to."

Yu Ruyue raised an eyebrow.

rich!?

What she has now, plus the 3 taels of silver that Shen Chou gave her before, is only a little over 7 taels of silver in total.

Moreover, since the natural disaster, prices have become very high, and the money she has can't actually buy much supplies.

She thought about it and nodded in agreement, "Okay! I'm a money-grubber. As long as you pay me, I'll do it!"

When the waiter heard this, he immediately smiled and hurried down to tell the guest.

This news was heard by the people in the next box, and they also wanted Yu Ruyue to cook for them.

At this time, of course, we cannot calculate it as 1000 taels per dish.

So Yu Ruyue told the waiter to give them a discount. She would charge 5000 taels for a table of ten dishes. As for how Tianfulou charged, she didn't care, but she was the only one who could decide what to do.

The guests who could come to the private room of Tianfulou to dine were not short of money. They had all heard that Yu Ruyue was the girl who sold the family's food, and that both Madam Sun and Madam Xu praised her dishes highly at noon, which made them want to try them as well.

So we booked five tables at once.

Yu Ruyue thought for a moment and said, "The ten dishes I made use a lot of chicken, fish and meat. They all need to be extracted from the essence. The bones and meat must be simmered until they are completely broken down. Finally, the soup is taken and used to make other dishes."

"Your kitchen is a little short of food."

The waiter quickly assured with a smile, "Don't worry! No matter what you need, we will take care of it."

Yu Ruyue was just waiting for this. "Okay! First, get me two pigs, 20 carps, 20 silver carps, 10 crucian carps, and 20 chickens. If you have ducks, get me more ducks!"
