The unlucky fake daughter was screwed by the rotten system

After Yun Zhizhi sat down gracefully, she looked at Qi Yize with a charming smile and congratulated him softly, "I just heard that Madam Qi's dementia has been cured. This is such great joy and makes me extremely happy."

However, when her eyes fell on the dazzling array of thank-you gifts before her, she couldn't help but frown slightly: "However, these thank-you gifts are indeed too valuable. Master Qi, you should take them back..."

Before he could finish his words, Qi Yize hurriedly interrupted.

With a sincere look on his face, he explained earnestly, "These gifts of thanks are from the Qi family with all their heart. I hope Miss Yun will not refuse them! Otherwise, I will have a hard time explaining to my elders."

Qi Yize paused for a moment, then added: "Besides, compared to the miraculous elixir you gave me, Miss Yun, these things are simply insignificant and not worth mentioning!"

"So, please accept this small gift with peace of mind."

Seeing that Yun Zhizhi did not continue to refuse after hearing this and just remained silent, Qi Yize secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

He picked up the teacup, took a sip of the fragrant tea, and then, seemingly casually, he would secretly glance at Yun Zhizhi opposite him from the corner of his eye from time to time.

At this time, Yun Zhizhi keenly noticed Qi Yize's little movements and couldn't help but smile slightly.

She raised her beautiful eyes and asked softly, "Master Qi, is there something on my face?"

Qi Yize raised the corner of his mouth slightly, deciding not to hide it anymore, and asked directly: "Miss Yun, I wonder if I can have the good fortune to taste the salmon sushi and salmon sashimi that you personally made?"

In the past two days, Qin Zihao has been talking incessantly in his ears, describing these two dishes as miraculous and delicious, which made him feel extremely curious and eager to try them himself.

Let’s see if it’s really as delicious, refreshing and unique as Zihao said.

However, facing his expectant gaze, Yun Zhizhi responded without hesitation: "You don't have this good fortune."

Hearing this, Qi Yize couldn't help but be stunned, and exclaimed in confusion: "Huh?"

Obviously, he had not expected such a response.

Seeing him dumbfounded by her words, Yun Zhizhi smiled and explained, "Sorry! The ingredients for these two dishes have been used up. Unless..."

Seeing this, Qi Yize hurriedly asked, "Unless what? Miss Yun, please explain clearly."

"Unless you have a way to get fresh salmon, but this kind of fish has extremely demanding requirements for its living environment, so it's not easy to catch them."

She had no choice but to use this excuse to dissuade him from the idea.

After all, even she herself didn't know whether there was such a species as salmon in the waters of this fictional Chuyun Kingdom.

Despite this, Qi Yize still refused to give up: "Miss Yun, please take the time to describe the specific characteristics and appearance of this fish. Once I understand it clearly, I will immediately send people out to sea to find and catch it."

Seeing how persistent and determined he was, and how he would not give up until he achieved his goal, it seemed as if he had to taste the salmon himself.

Yun Zhizhi's heart softened, and she finally nodded and said, "Okay!"

Not to mention that Qi Yize is so obsessed with this salmon, even Yun Haodong and others have been longing to taste this unique delicacy again since they had the honor of tasting salmon sushi and salmon sashimi last time.

Just as everyone was immersed in the memories and anticipation of the delicious food, two crisp sneezes were suddenly heard.

It turned out that Yun Zhizhi sneezed repeatedly without any warning, and the sound was particularly abrupt in the quiet atmosphere.

Fang Lanzhu, who was sitting nearby, immediately showed concern upon hearing the sound. She quickly came forward and asked, "My dear, did you catch a cold last night when you went to bed? I'll have Dr. Zhou take a good look at you later."

Yun Zhizhi quickly put down the handkerchief that was covering her nose and said with a soothing smile, "Don't worry, mother, I'm fine. I just don't know why my nose suddenly feels a little itchy."

Seeing this, Qi Yize couldn't help but start to tease: "In my opinion, someone must be talking about Miss Yun right now."

He paused, then continued, "To be precise, it seems that many people are talking about you and are eagerly looking forward to you setting up a stall soon."

This is true.

It was the fifth day that Yun Zhizhi did not come out to set up a stall to sell boxed lunches.

The customers who had visited her stall—whether they were high-ranking officials or wealthy and powerful families; whether they were hardworking construction workers at the docks or experienced gourmets with a unique pursuit of food; whether they were shrewd and smooth businessmen or ordinary people...

Some of them were silently talking about Yun Zhizhi in their hearts, hoping that she would come out to set up a stall soon.

Others gathered in groups of three or five, whispering to each other about where Miss Yun would set up her stall next time and what she would sell.

What's more, some people were secretly trying to find out the news about Yun Zhizhi's stall.

For example, this Sun Kun.

At this moment, Sun Kun was pacing back and forth with his hands behind his back in the spacious and bright living room of his home with an anxious look on his face.

After a while, he glanced at his men standing not far away and said in a rough voice, "Li Fei, you've been following Yun Zhizhi for five days now. How come you still haven't found out where she'll set up her stall next time?"

Before at the dock, he had wanted to discuss cooperation directly with Yun Zhizhi, but he was dragged away by a man in black who appeared out of nowhere.

Just thinking about it makes me angry!

Li Fei bravely replied cautiously, "I've tried my best. Over the past five days, Yun Zhizhi has stayed in her own Yun Mansion, except for visiting the Sixth Emperor's Mansion and the He Mansion. She has basically stayed there all the time."

"So, it's really hard for me to find out where she'll set up her stall next time!"

Hearing this answer, Sun Kun frowned tightly, his face full of displeasure.

His sharp eyes stared straight at Li Fei and he continued to ask, "If that's the case, have you found out what she plans to sell next? That should be a clue!"

Facing Sun Kun's questioning, Li Fei carefully recalled everything he had seen in the past few days while hiding in the dark corners of the Yun Mansion wall like a wild cat.

After a while, he patted his chest and responded loudly: "Yun Zhizhi will most likely sell salted fish next time!"

Selling salted fish?

Sun Kun couldn't help but widen his eyes: "You must be kidding! Yun Zhizhi doesn't look like someone who would sell salted fish."

Li Fei muttered to himself: You don't look like someone who does serious business.
