The more cowardly a person is, the more wild they are; I've driven the villainous minister craz

"Master! Master!"

Seeing that Cui Qixian was about to faint, the servant quickly pinched his philtrum.

"Cough cough cough—" Cui Qixian caught his breath and pointed at Yu Wan, wanting to retort, but belatedly realized that everyone around him was pointing and whispering about him.

"I am a member of the Cui family, how dare you! How dare you!"

Choi Ji-hyun couldn't take the scolding anymore, his eyes rolled back and he collapsed to the ground.

Yu Wan: "..."

Is this person made of glass? So fragile?!

She silently took two steps back, with an expression that said, "This has nothing to do with me."

Manager Yuan looked at her and then at Cui Qixian, sweating profusely with anxiety.

What is this called!

Thinking that the deal was definitely not going to happen, Manager Yuan wiped a cold sweat and tried to politely ask Yu Wan to leave.

At that moment, a servant leaned down and whispered a few words in his ear.

Manager Yuan's pupils dilated, and he trembled uncontrollably.

"Miss!" Manager Yuan looked at Yu Wan with a big smile, his face crinkling with laughter. "What you say makes sense. It was the young master's fault. I apologize to you, and I hope you will be magnanimous and not hold it against us."

Yu Wan found Manager Yuan's reaction somewhat strange.

"As compensation, I'm willing to give you an extra hundred taels. Would you still be willing to sell the recipe to Fei Bao Lou?"

Yu Wan blinked.

Manager Yuan's change in attitude was mostly due to that servant.

Free money is free, so why not take it?

Yu Wan nodded with a smile, "Since Manager Yuan is so sincere, I naturally won't refuse."

Next to the unconscious Choi Jae-hyun, the two signed and sealed the deal, completing the transaction.

Yu Wan put away the four hundred taels of silver notes, took her leave, and departed.

The onlookers dispersed.

Manager Yuan instructed the Cui family servant to take Cui Qixian to the clinic and hurriedly went up to the third floor.

A truly distinguished guest arrived on the third floor.

Yu Wan walked to the entrance of Fei Bao Lou, sensed something, and suddenly turned around.

The lobby of the Jade Pavilion was bustling with people, but she didn't see any familiar faces.

Strange, she clearly felt a familiar gaze just now.

Is it her imagination?

After scanning the area carefully again, Yu Wan still couldn't find anything unusual.

She realized she was overthinking things.

Patting his bulging purse, he left happily.

She had barely walked away when a figure emerged from behind a pillar in the corner of the lobby.

The man had a cool and aloof demeanor, an elegant and refined air, and a tall and graceful figure, like a snow lotus that grows proudly on a snow-covered mountain that never melts.

His dark eyes were fixed on the direction Yu Wan had left in, the emotions surging within them like a vortex that could devour one's soul.

Yu Wan is illiterate; how could he know the ancestral precepts of the Cui family of Huayang?

Yun Shang straightened his robes and walked towards the third floor.

His usual expressionless face was now downcast, and there seemed to be a slight smile on his lips.

But upon closer inspection, it is chilling.

Unexpectedly, his wife possessed such great talent.

……

Shijia Village.

Yu Wan returned to the Yun family two hours later than in the previous days, and it was already close to dusk.

Ms. Shen was worried and waited at the door.

Seeing Yu Wan sitting on the oxcart in the distance, he greeted her happily.

"Yu Niang!"

Yu Wan looked up when she heard the sound and saw Shen's gentle smiling face, which warmed her heart.

She was an orphan in her past life, and there was never anyone in her family waiting for her.

So this is what it feels like to have someone waiting for you at home.

She flashed a big smile and called out, "Mother-in-law, I'll be right there! It's cold, please come inside!"

Seeing the two women caring for each other, the old man driving the oxcart couldn't help but smile and say, "The mother-in-law is kind, the daughter-in-law is filial, and the son is promising. Your Yun family is sure to have a bright future!"

Yu Wan suddenly fell silent.

The Yun family... is not her home.

She'll leave sooner or later.

Shen did not go into the house first, but waited for Yu Wan to get out of the car so that she could help her push the cart.

She glanced at Yu Wan with concern, "Selling this food is profitable, but you've lost so much weight in just a few days, Yu Niang."

Yu Wan felt that the fat on her body had turned into muscle, and now she was in great shape.

She smiled and winked at Madam Shen, "Then I'll listen to my mother-in-law and stop selling Bobo Chicken."

Shen hesitated, "...Really?"

Yu Wan nodded.

However, Shen still harbored doubts.

My daughter-in-law has been very keen on making money lately, and she's unlikely to give up so easily.

"Then Mother will take it seriously." Madam Shen breathed a sigh of relief and said sincerely, "Although the family is a bit poor, we can still make ends meet. Once Yunshang becomes an official, we will be able to live a good life. We can't let you ruin your health before he becomes an official."

"Starting tomorrow, you will no longer be allowed to sell food at the market."

Knowing that Shen Shi genuinely cared for her, Yu Wan nodded with a smile.

Once inside the house, sitting around the brazier, Yu Wan suddenly took out the silver notes from her bosom.

Shen and Yunxi were startled.

Madam Shen glanced at it, then looked at it again, and realized she definitely didn't recognize the silver note. "Yu Niang, this is... a silver note, right?"

Yunxi also sat back on the bed, stunned and unable to believe it. "Sister-in-law, how do you have so much money?"

Madam Shen swallowed hard, then suddenly said seriously, "Yu Niang, we are short of money at home, but you must never do anything foolish, understand?"

Yu Wan was both amused and exasperated. She quickly explained to prevent them from misunderstanding further, "I sold the recipe for Bo Bo Chicken to Fei Bao Lou. The manager of Fei Bao Lou is rich and generous, and he gave me four hundred taels of silver directly."

"So much money?" Mrs. Shen was overjoyed.

Yu Wan hadn't expected that she would sell an extra hundred taels in the end.

Without hesitation, she handed over the four hundred taels of silver to Madam Shen.

“Mother-in-law, keep this money and save it for Yunshang’s travel expenses to take the imperial examination.”

Three months before the imperial examination, Huicheng County Academy would organize qualified students to travel to Shengjing for the examination. Due to the large number of participants, the escort fee per person was only a few dozen taels.

Four hundred taels of silver is enough for Yun Shang to travel to the capital for the imperial examination without worry.

This money can be considered as repayment for the kindness the Yun family has shown to the original owner over the years.

Shen was given a silver note and stared blankly at Yu Wan.

Yunxi's eyes also flickered slightly.

She hadn't expected that her sister-in-law would give so much money to her mother without any hesitation.

It took Madam Shen a long time to come to her senses. She wanted to return the silver note to Yu Wan, saying, "Yu Niang, you can keep this money. You don't need to give it to me."

Yu Wan avoided the question and did not answer it.

She looked at Madam Shen, her clear almond-shaped eyes sparkling with light. "I'm young and not as reliable as you. I can keep ten or twenty taels of silver for myself, but it's more appropriate for you to keep this much money safe."

As Shen looked at Yu Wan, whose eyes were filled with sincerity, her own eyes gradually reddened.

Other wives would love to snatch money from their mothers-in-law.

Only her husband, Yu Niang, always thought of giving her whatever good things she got.

Where can you find such a wonderful wife?!

That blind brat Yun Shang, after so many years of marriage he still refuses to consummate the marriage with Yu Niang, he must have gone stupid from studying too much!

Shen was furious.

He became increasingly gentle towards Yu Wan.

She gently stroked Yu Wan's hair, thinking to herself that when Yun Shang came home from his ten-day break, she would definitely make the young couple consummate their marriage!
