In the years of famine, I led a comfortable life with my husband

Shen Wenjun obviously heard what Su Zhizhi said. He smiled and looked at Su Zhizhi and said, "Long time no see. Let's go to the private room upstairs and chat."

Su Zhizhi did not agree immediately. Instead, she looked up at Xie Chengjin and asked for his opinion.

Xie Chengjin immediately understood what she meant, and nodded slightly to show that he agreed.

Su Zhizhi finally agreed and said, "Okay, let's go up."

After that, the two of them went to the private room upstairs.

"How have you been recently?" Shen Wenjun was the first to ask Su Zhizhi.

"It's okay. You see, I'm living a fulfilling life. I've returned to my old business and opened a restaurant." Su Zhizhi said to Shen Wenjun frankly.

After that, Su Zhizhi asked Shen Wenjun, "What about you? What have you been busy with recently?"

Shen Wenjun smiled faintly and explained, "I am now staying in the general's mansion as the general's companion. The general values ​​talent and treats me very well."

"Is that so? That's good." Su Zhizhi nodded with satisfaction.

The two exchanged pleasantries, and soon the waiter from Laiyue Tower reported to Su Zhizhi that Xu Wanqing had arrived.

Seeing this, Su Zhizhi quickly stood up and said to Shen Wenjun, "I have an important guest coming and I have to personally entertain him. I'll tell you when I'm done."

Shen Wenjun didn't get angry when she heard that. Instead, she nodded very understandingly, "Okay, then Miss Su, you can go and get busy first."

Seeing this, Su Zhizhi quickly left to entertain Xu Wanqing.

"Your Highness, you are here." Su Zhizhi saw Xu Wanqing as soon as she came downstairs, and immediately bowed to her and spoke.

"Well, I heard that the food in your restaurant is delicious, so this princess came here to try your cooking." Xu Wanqing said with a smile.

"Princess, you are too kind. These are just compliments from outsiders. My cooking is not actually that delicious. If you are interested in trying my cooking, I am willing to show you my cooking." Su Zhizhi hurriedly explained.

Xu Wanqing immediately became interested when she heard this. "Oh? Is that so? Then this princess insisted on trying your cooking today. Just serve a few of your signature dishes."

"Yes, Your Highness." After saying that, Su Zhizhi went to the kitchen to get busy. After a while, several exquisite side dishes were ready.

Seeing this, Xu Wanqing picked up the chopsticks, picked up a piece of fish, put it in her mouth and chewed it slowly. After savoring it, Xu Wanqing showed a satisfied smile.

"Not bad, not bad. It's really delicious." Xu Wanqing praised.

Seeing Xu Wanqing was very satisfied, Su Zhizhi finally let go of the huge stone in her heart, "As long as Her Royal Highness likes it."

Xu Wanqing suddenly had an idea.

"Since your cooking skills are so good, this princess feels that you shouldn't be buried. I want to invest in your Lai Yue Lou so that you can make more money in the future and let more people know about the existence of Lai Yue Lou."

Xu Wanqing looked at Su Zhizhi and said.

Su Zhizhi's eyes lit up after hearing this, and she looked at Xu Wanqing with great surprise, "I thank Your Highness the Princess for your appreciation."

With the help of Xu Wanqing, Su Zhizhi was able to gain a firm foothold in the capital, and Lai Yue Tower became famous because of this.

All of a sudden, Yuelou's business became very popular, and many dignitaries in the capital came here to visit, including Guo Jiayi. Guo Jiayi also brought her half-sister Guo Meiling with her this time.

Speaking of Guo Meiling, she and Su Zhizhi have a history. Before the Su family declined, Guo Meiling and Su Zhizhi had a very good relationship. It was not that the two of them sympathized with each other, but Guo Meiling was not liked in the Guo family as a concubine's daughter, so she wanted to climb up the high branch of Su Zhizhi to make her life easier.

Unexpectedly, not long after she finally became "sisters" with Su Zhizhi, the Su family was exiled for embezzling public funds. This made Guo Meiling heartbroken for a while, not because she felt sorry for the fate of Su Zhizhi's family, but because she felt sorry for the backer she had finally found.

Guo Jiayi felt that Su Zhizhi looked somewhat familiar when she saw her before, but she was still not sure about Su Zhizhi's identity, so she brought Guo Meiling with her today to identify Su Zhizhi's identity.

If it can be confirmed that Su Zhizhi is the daughter of the Su family who were previously exiled for corruption, then Guo Jiayi will have a handle on Su Zhizhi, and Su Zhizhi's life and death can be completely controlled by Guo Jiayi. Thinking of this, Guo Jiayi was extremely excited.

As soon as they entered the Moon Tower, Guo Jiayi couldn't help but urge Guo Meiling, "Go and see, is it her?"

Guo Meiling looked frantically in Su Zhizhi's direction. She was stunned for a few seconds before nodding without hesitation, "Yes, it's her. She is the daughter of the Su family."

After hearing this, Guo Jiayi's face was filled with excitement and excitement. She wanted to see how arrogant Su Zhizhi could be, as she had the upper hand over her.

"Okay, then you will expose her identity in front of everyone later." Guo Jiayi instructed Guo Meiling.

"Okay." In order to please Guo Jiayi, Guo Meiling agreed without hesitation.

After the two of them had discussed it, Guo Meiling immediately strode towards Su Zhizhi.

"Are you the owner of this place? People say your food is first-rate, but I don't think it's that great!"

Guo Meiling spoke sarcastically about Su Zhizhi while looking her up and down with an extremely disdainful look.

Su Zhizhi, who was taking orders for customers at this time, looked up when she heard the voice and instantly met Guo Meiling's eyes. Faced with Guo Meiling's inexplicable malice, Su Zhizhi seemed particularly confused. She also realized that Guo Meiling came here today to cause trouble, but she didn't know Guo Meiling at all, so she couldn't remember where she had offended the other party.

Seeing Su Zhizhi's dull eyes, Guo Meiling mistakenly thought that she was afraid, and a smug look suddenly appeared on her face.

At this moment, Xu Wanqing appeared.

Seeing Guo Meiling deliberately making things difficult for Su Zhizhi, Xu Wanqing backed her up and said, "Is this the Guo family's concubine's daughter? How can you be so presumptuous in Laiyue Tower?"

When Guo Meiling heard the voice, she turned around and saw Xu Wanqing, and was immediately frightened.

"Your servant...your servant...pays homage to Her Royal Highness the Princess. That's not what you meant. You just wanted to..." Guo Meiling racked her brains to find a suitable excuse for herself.

Guo Meiling stammered and couldn't explain herself clearly. Xu Wanqing immediately became angry and shouted, "Why don't you get out of here!"

After saying this, Guo Meiling said, "I acknowledge my guilt and I will take my leave."

After saying that, she fled.

Guo Jiayi ran away when she saw that the timing was not right. She knew that she had upset Xu Wanqing many times during this period, and if she were caught again, she didn't know how to punish her.

After sending Guo Meiling away, Xu Wanqing took Su Zhizhi's hand and comforted her, "It's okay, Miss Su. I'll be by your side from now on. Just focus on doing business well."

Xu Wanqing's words seemed to reassure Su Zhizhi. She looked at Xu Wanqing gratefully and said, "Thank you, Princess."
