Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Yunchuan Prefecture’s Zheng Hui had two sons and a daughter. Among them, the eldest son was illegitimate, borne from Official Zheng’s concubine from a long time ago. Only Second Young Master Zheng and the nine-year-old Miss Zheng were Madam Zheng’s children.

“Coincidentally, I also want to know which young master of our Zheng family Miss Fang has taken a fancy to.” The moment First Madam Qin finished speaking, Madam Zheng also brought her daughter into the private room.

“This…” Madam Fang was so nervous that she didn’t know what to do.

The Young Master Zheng that the Fang family had taken a fancy to was naturally the second son of the Zheng family, Zheng Yue. However, Fang Shuyuan, who had been pampered since she was young, was bewitched by the eldest son of the Zheng family, Zheng Li. She cried and wanted to marry this illegitimate!

How could Madam Fang agree?

Therefore, she discussed a solution with Official Fang. First, she asked First Madam Qin to help settle the marriage with the Zheng family. After the marriage was settled, she would tell Fang Shuyuan.

Unfortunately, Madam Fang had schemed in all ways and forgotten her daughter’s personality.

Fang Shuyuan was also very puzzled. She admired Big Brother Zheng. Her mother clearly knew this!

“Mother, what’s going on?” Fang Shuyuan asked anxiously. “Didn’t you say that you would let me marry into the Zheng family in a grand manner? I want to marry Big Brother Zheng. I don’t want to marry Second Young Master Zheng!”

“Why? Is my second young master not worthy of Miss Fang’s attention?” Hearing the obvious disdain in Fang Shuyuan’s tone, Madam Zheng couldn’t help but sneer.

“Second Young Master Zheng is an ugly man with pimples all over his face. How can I marry him?” Fang Shuyuan pouted, feeling wronged.

BANG!

The enraged Madam Zheng smashed the entire teacup.

“The Fang family has raised a good daughter!” Madam Zheng gritted her teeth and sneered.

“Madam Zheng, calm down!” At this moment, Madam Fang was as anxious as a cat on a hot tin roof. “Shuyuan didn’t mean that!”

“Then Madam Fang, tell me, what exactly does your daughter mean?” Madam Zheng crossed her arms and raised her chin with interest as she looked down at the nervous Madam Fang.

“I… she…” Madam Fang wanted to explain, but she didn’t know where to start. She could only look at First Madam Qin pleadingly.

First Madam Qin did not expect that today’s banquet was destined to be a farce. “Sit down. Even if your two families can’t be in-laws today, you can’t become enemies, right? Manager Ji of this Spring Breeze Pavilion is a little friend of mine. For my sake, let’s try her cooking together!”

Ji Zhao, who was busy in the kitchen, had no idea that so many things had happened in her private room.

An hour later.

Looking at the ten delicious dishes on the table, Madam Fang felt her cheeks burn.

Hearing Madam Zheng’s sarcastic words, she couldn’t sit still anymore and left in a hurry with Fang Shuyuan.

“This lamb chop tastes good.” Madam Zheng smiled at First Madam Qin. “Are you here to join in the fun because of this food?”

“You can say that.” First Madam Qin nodded with a magnanimous smile.

“The taste is indeed not bad. Rongrong’s ninth birthday is in half a month. At that time, I’ll also set up a banquet in this tavern. If you don’t attend, I’ll personally go and kidnap you.” Madam Zheng looked up at First Madam Qin, her tone filled with concern. “Fangrong, it’s time for you to come out and suppress these monsters.”

First Madam Qin raised her eyebrows and looked at her. Then, she chuckled. “You don’t blame me?”

“Why should I blame you?” Madam Zheng put down the chopsticks in her hand in frustration and frowned. “It’s all my fault for not taking good care of Yue’er and Rongrong. Actually, I also know that the Fang family’s status is too low, but I have a trace of hope in my heart. If this girl from the Fang family is magnanimous and sensible, as long as she doesn’t despise Yue’er, even if her status is low…”

“But the Fang family is clearly playing tricks!” Madam Zheng sneered. “The Fang family is in such a hurry to marry their daughter into our Zheng family. I’m afraid it has something to do with the rumors coming from the capital.”

The spoiled and arrogant Noble Consort Sun actually dared to make the Empress Dowager faint in public and received a good scolding from His Majesty!

Although His Majesty doted on Noble Consort Sun, His Majesty was a filial person!

In order to comfort the Empress Dowager, His Majesty not only punished Noble Consort Sun to be grounded for three months, but he also scolded Elder Sun fiercely in the court.

“The Sun family’s situation has become a little awkward. Those people who cling to the Sun family naturally want to find a way out for themselves in advance.” The more Madam Zheng spoke, the more amused she became.

First Madam Qin picked up another crystal shrimp dumpling and placed it on the plate in front of her. She smiled and said, “Don’t be angry. The Fang family is not worth mentioning.”

“I understand.” Madam Zheng nodded slightly, her tone still indignant. “I’m just a little unhappy.”

“Didn’t they say that the eldest son in your family is a noble scholar of high conduct? Why is Miss Fang unable to forget him?” First Madam Qin looked into her eyes and asked with a smile.

Madam Zheng was stunned at first, then she seemed to have thought of something and suddenly looked up.

At that moment, in the kitchen.

Ji Zhao, who was finally free, picked up a pear, washed it, and took a bite.

The sweet pear juice flowed down her throat, nourishing her heart.

After today’s banquet ended, the Fang family should settle the remaining payment.

As long as she established a good reputation for Spring Breeze Pavilion, she would not have to worry about not having business in the future.

Just as Ji Zhao was fantasizing about the future, she suddenly heard a sobbing sound. She was a little surprised and turned to walk out of the kitchen.

At the corner of the backyard of the Spring Breeze Pavilion, a little girl in pink was squatting on the ground with her head in her hands, crying sadly.

Her shoulders twitched, and she looked a little pitiful.

Ji Zhao bent down and asked patiently, “Are you lost?”

Zheng Rongrong, who was curled up in the corner, was shocked by the sudden sound!

Like a frightened rabbit, she looked at the person in front of her with red eyes.

“Did I scare you?” Ji Zhao quickly comforted her. “If my voice was too loud and scared you, then I’ll apologize to you, okay?”

“It’s… it’s alright…” Zheng Rongrong quickly shook her head.

She sized up this fairy-like sister in front of her.

This sister was really good-looking. She was as beautiful as a fairy.

Zheng Rongrong blurted out the thought in her heart.

Ji Zhao was amused. “Thank you for your compliment, but I think you’re very beautiful too!”

Although the little girl in front of her was wearing a black veil, Ji Zhao could tell that her eyes were beautiful peach blossom eyes. Her clear eyes made people want to approach her..
