After the arranged marriage, she farms and survives under the tutelage of the villainous boss.

They all looked at each other in bewilderment; this was a perspective they had never considered before.

Jiang Zhiyun continued, "The Fourth Prince wanted to kill me, and Xu Ping'an went over and handed him the knife. After that, it got involved with your Supervisory Department, and that's your own business."

"If you have a brain, go and investigate."

The bearded man no longer appeared drunk at this point.

Looking at Jiang Zhiyun, he asked, "Then, why is Madam Jiang telling us all this?"

“I am a victim, and you are victims too. To put it bluntly, the reason why Xu Ping'an is able to be so arrogant is because he has the Fourth Prince Xie Chengze behind him.”

"Fourth Prince, there's nothing we can do. We can only suffer in silence. I'm here to advise you. I've already accepted my fate. What Fourth Prince, what Xu Ping'an, has nothing to do with me. We can't afford to offend them."

"So please don't ask anymore, and don't think we're in contact. This is just a clarification."

"You've finished speaking, you can leave now."

At this moment, Ye Qi came over to chase them away.

The bearded man frowned: "This is outrageous... Then what is the point of our Inspection Department's existence?"

"Isn't the Censorate supposed to eliminate these things? Now that we ourselves are doing it, and you common people are doing it too, is it just for show?"

“Our Inspector General has never been one to treat human life lightly. We brothers have all followed him through thick and thin. This situation is not what we intended.”

Jiang Zhiyun felt that this Inspector General was somewhat similar to the previous Commander of the Imperial City, who had come to see Xie Shuheng before.

They're not strangers anymore.

Quite familiar.

Jiang Zhiyun looked at the bearded man: "What's your commander's name?"

“Zhuang Yi,” the bearded man said, “our commander is the former Imperial City Commander, Lord Zhuang Yi, who also came to deal with General Song Xi’s matter.”

"As for my name, it is Wang Defa. If Madam Jiang needs to contact me in the future, she can just look for me."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Zhiyun raised an eyebrow and said, "Looking for me? Perhaps there's no need for us to keep in touch in the future?"

"That's not necessarily the case."

Wang Defa said, "What if our commander starts investigating the Fourth Prince? If Lady Jiang cooperates with the investigation, she will be invaluable."

"Then you must protect my safety. I am just an ordinary peasant woman. Now Xu Ping'an keeps coming to provoke me. Yesterday, he even came here to cause trouble, and your brothers from the Inspection Department came with him."

"If I keep this shop open like this, will you protect me?"

When Jiang Zhiyun asked this question, Wang Defa replied, "Such a thing will not happen again in the future."

Perhaps the Inspection Department should start investigating itself?

After the group left, Xiuhe looked at Jiang Zhiyun with some confusion: "Yunniang."

Is it really feasible?

"These people all seem to be birds of a feather. The royal family and the court are probably rotten to the core!"

Xiuhe was genuinely angry when she said these words. She was a survivor of the war, and she felt like an ant.

When I was at the bottom of society, I didn't know these things. It was only after I came into contact with more people that I realized that even when it comes to making money, getting along with others, or even when you're in a situation like Yunniang or Xie Shuheng, you still don't have any human rights.

All that exists is endless exploitation.

So I stopped trusting anything a long time ago.

Jiang Zhiyun shook her head: "This Supervisory Department is not entirely useless. It has just been established, and their commander was previously contacted by Xie Shuheng."

"He's not some good-for-nothing."

“Zhuang Yi…”

In his previous life, the Commander of the Surveillance Bureau was also named Zhuang Yi. He and Xie Shuheng were at odds because of their different beliefs. In the end, it seems that Xie Shuheng's attempts to reconcile them failed, and Zhuang Yi committed suicide.

Jiang Zhiyun was aware of this.

If so, and I have no prejudice against Zhuang Yi and Xie Shuheng in this lifetime, then Zhuang Yi must also be a man of unwavering integrity.

“Zhuang Yi is trustworthy, and the Censorate needs to establish a firm foothold. It can’t be like it is now, relying on the Emperor and still being a favored concubine. Mingming is not sure if she can maintain her position.”

"Instead, we need to demonstrate a spirit of real action and practical results."

"You mean... the Censorate might target the Fourth Prince?" Xiuhe said, afraid she was wrong.

"Yes, it's a long-standing old case here with the Fourth Prince. This time, he came directly to the province and made a big fuss about doing something brainless. It's definitely not just his idea; many people have pushed him out."

"The most brainless people are the first to die."

More importantly, whether the Emperor was involved in this matter is unknown.

If the Emperor, as the father, is also involved, sending out the Fourth Prince, and given that Commander Zhuang Yi had previously visited the province, what if everything could be connected?

Thinking hard.

There is no kinship in the royal family, but Jiang Zhiyun dared not even imagine that there was absolutely no such thing.

At least, it has nothing to do with her.

Xie Shuheng might be able to analyze these things better.

Xiuhe nodded: "I understand. I think this matter is getting more and more horrifying the more it is discussed."

“Hmm.” Jiang Zhiyun nodded: “But we don’t need to think too much about it. As a peasant girl, we should do our job well. At least, no one dares to mess around with our family’s restaurant. No matter who wins or loses, this place is just an ordinary place to eat.”

"Even if the local wealthy landowners or gentry wanted to make a move on us, they would have to give up their ideas."

Xiuhe nodded: "Yunniang, you're amazing!"

"Many people were keeping an eye on Xie Shuheng before, because he was difficult to control, and they used that to control me. I'll take this opportunity to beat up the dogs that deserve it. Knowing what will happen, who will dare to come after me?"

Jiang Zhiyun actually had some doubts about Xu Ping'an.

If he were also reborn, this incredibly cunning villain would probably have even more tricks up his sleeve.

He's still on the rise, and Jiang Zhiyun is trying to ruin his path. It's not a good thing for someone like that to jump up.

Even if you can't do it, you should still be fully prepared.

She rubbed her temples and said to Xiuhe, "Alright, focus on cooking. We need to promote the health-preserving meals we're making these days."

"When the Empress Dowager returns to Bianjing, we'll take her back with us and make our new restaurant famous!"

Pan Chun quickly clapped her hands in the kitchen: "Don't worry, Madam Jiang, I can do it! I'll try my best!"

Jiang Cheng washed the dishes even more diligently.

Xia Lan, at this moment, hurriedly did the accounting: "It's great, it's great! We've made so much money."

"Madam Jiang, I admire you more and more."

"Xia Lan, are you getting used to it here? This is much more tiring than before."

"Not tired at all!" Xia Lan said, sounding energetic.
