The unlucky fake daughter was screwed by the rotten system

Complaints continued to be heard from the crowd.

"Why haven't you come yet? I rushed here overnight from another city just to taste this unique and rich delicacy."

"I bought one yesterday, intending to try it, but I couldn't forget it. I want to buy a few more today to share with my family. I hope they don't run out."

"Why hasn't Stinky Tofu Xishi come yet? Doesn't she know that [if someone isn't motivated to make money, there's something wrong with their thinking]?"

Among the waiting crowd, there was a young man in a crimson wedding suit who attracted everyone's attention.

One of the gossipy ladies couldn't help but ask, "Groom, you're here to buy some stinky tofu. Aren't you afraid that when you go to pick up the bride later, the smell will stink your bride-to-be!"

When the others heard this, they all burst into laughter.

The groom's face flushed instantly, and he lowered his head, a little embarrassedly saying, "My husband specifically asked for stinky tofu, so I came here specially to queue up."

His wife said that he was very similar to stinky tofu. Stinky tofu smells bad but tastes good. He may not look like much, but he is kind and thoughtful inside.

So he has the patience to buy the food his wife likes, even if he has to wait in a long line.

The old man with a long beard looked at the groom's shy face and couldn't help but praise him: "It turns out that he is a good husband who dotes on his wife!"

Hearing this, the people around nodded in agreement.

Everyone started talking about it, and soon the topic spread: "If you love her, buy her some stinky tofu!"

At this moment, Qi Yize rode his horse to the gate of the Sixth Prince's residence. When he saw a large group of people gathered at the gate, he was immediately startled.

He looked at these people in confusion, muttering to himself: Did I come to the wrong place? Why are there so many people?

What exactly happened in the past few days? He just went to Jiaxing City to do some errands.

After entering the mansion, Qi Yize walked hurriedly and headed straight for the study with a clear goal.

His signature loud voice was like a built-in speaker, and his resonant voice could be heard from afar: "Yun Jin, I'm back. Did you miss me?"

Zhao Yunjin raised his left eyebrow slightly when he heard this familiar voice. He closed the document in his hand, looked towards the door with his dark eyes, and said in a low and magnetic voice, "Let's talk business."

Seeing this, Qi Yize shook his head helplessly.

Why does this guy always act so businesslike? He has no humanity at all. I really want to see him fall from his pedestal.

I don’t know who has the ability to make him show a different side of himself.

Qi Yize walked to the desk and sat down, then began to speak, "The prefect of Jiaxing City has been escorted back to the capital by us. Qin Zihao has interrogated him several times, but he is very cunning. He readily admitted to the corruption, but he has always denied the bribery and murder."

Zhao Yunjin frowned, pondered for a moment, and then asked, "Have you found any important clues?"

Qi Yize sighed, his tone revealing a hint of helplessness: "Our people are still looking for him. I guess it's because this matter involves people in the capital, so he has been gritting his teeth and refusing to admit it."

The emperor attached great importance to this matter. He and Qin Zihao tried every possible means, but still could not pry open the man's mouth. In desperation, they could only escort him back to Beijing.

I guess only Zhao Yunjin, the black-faced chief envoy in charge of the Inspectorate, has the ability to deal with him.

After Qi Yize finished talking about the business, he started chatting about gossip: "What happened outside? Why is there so much noise at the door of your mansion? If someone doesn't know, they would think you have some treasure here."

Otherwise, who would dare to approach the door of the Sixth Prince's mansion for no reason? Do they think their life is too long?

Zhao Yunjin knew his friend's character very well. If he didn't tell this matter to him, a gossip-loving person, he would probably keep pestering him.

In desperation, he could only signal to Zhao Yi beside him.

Not long after, Qi Yize finally understood what had happened. He couldn't help but ask curiously, "Zhao Yi, is stinky tofu really that delicious?"

Although Zhao Yi had never tasted it, Zhao Wu and his master had tried it and even ate the entire portion of stinky tofu.

"I haven't eaten it, but the outside world really speaks highly of it."

"No, I want to queue up and buy one to try too. I just don't believe that the usually spoiled and domineering Yu Zhizhi has such excellent cooking skills."

After saying that, Qi Yize began to walk out in a hurry.

However, when he came outside, he found that there were still many people standing under the apricot tree waiting, but there was no sign of Yu Zhizhi.

After standing at the door for a cup of tea, he gradually lost his patience. So he told the guard at the door, "When Yu Zhizhi comes to set up her stall, buy me some stinky tofu and bring it in."

"Okay, Deputy Chief Censor Qi."

Then he turned around and went back into the mansion.

After Qi Yize returned to the study, he couldn't help but complain to his friend: "Yu Zhizhi is still so willful. If she doesn't want to set up a stall, she won't."

A hint of surprise flashed across Zhao Yunjin's eyes. His delicate, bony hands tapped the table lightly a few times. "Are you saying she hasn't come to set up her stall yet?"

"Yeah. There are still many people outside waiting for her. I'm not saying anything bad about her, but this business is so booming, and she's not the legitimate daughter of the Prime Minister anymore, how come she doesn't have any sense of crisis? She has no power and influence, but she still doesn't know how to earn more money to protect herself."

Not only him, but many ordinary people were also worried about Yu Zhizhi.

It’s true that the emperor is not in a hurry, but the eunuch is!

By mid-noon, most of the people who had arrived early had already left, but a small number were still standing there waiting patiently.

As for why Yu Zhizhi didn't tell them in advance, we can only say that things are different in ancient times and modern times.

If she were in modern times, she would definitely create a few stall groups. If she didn’t go to set up a stall one day, she could still tell those old diners in advance in the group.

But it was different in ancient times.

First of all, communication was not well developed, so she could only tell a few people.

Moreover, as someone who sets up stalls randomly, she doesn’t even know the time, duration, location, or what she will sell next time.

If I tell those diners in advance that I will only sell stinky tofu for three days, will they believe it?

She might believe it, but she will keep nagging in her ear.

Wouldn't that be asking for trouble?

What is Yu Zhizhi doing at this time?

She was seen sitting in a private room of the Fu Ju Restaurant, feasting on a table full of delicious food.

"Xiao Tao, come and try this braised roe deer meat. We don't usually have this chance to taste it for free."

She was woken up by Xiaotao.

She had originally planned to skip lunch, but when she learned that the owner of Fu Ju Restaurant was treating her, she immediately got up and went to the appointment with full energy.

This free meal is delivered to your door, it would be a waste not to eat it.

Moreover, she already knew the reason why the host invited her to dinner.
