"That's a good idea. Let's see the three families fight each other. Uncle is really wise!" Li Wei excitedly flattered and immediately went to make arrangements.
Under Li Wei's deliberate promotion, the news about the Su Family's culinary genius spread like wildfire. For a moment, the Yang, Zhu, and Su families all fell into a deathly silence.
"Who did it? Who spread the news?" Su Huanli was furious and relieved at the same time, "Fortunately, the outside world knows nothing about Erya and they put the blame on Zipei. But this matter will be exposed sooner or later. Housekeeper, do you have any countermeasures?"
Li Yin frowned and analyzed, "It's no good for the Zhu Family and the Yang Family to spread the news. I think it's the county magistrate's desperate action. Now the Zhu Family and the Yang Family should be more anxious than us."
Su Huanli looked serious, "It seems that they will pay a visit soon."
"Master, it's hard to be a two-faced person. Why don't we fish in troubled waters and reap some benefits?"
Su Huanli's eyes fell on Li Yin as if he knew him again. In his impression, the old butler should not be so smart.
Li Yin was slightly shocked and realized that something was wrong. He immediately said, "These words are analyzed by the First Madam. It seems that she doesn't want the Third Miss to marry into the Yang Family."
"It's not her turn to make decisions for the Su Family!" Su Huanli's face suddenly became ferocious, "You don't need to listen to Madam's words in the future. Do you hear me?"
"Yes, Master."
Li Yin lowered his eyebrows and was at peace. The First Madam did mention to him that Zipei didn't want to get married, but she was just beating around the bush. She didn't say it directly.
However, these were all secondary to the Old Master. The Old Master wanted an excuse to punish the Madam, and he was only doing a small favor.
The next morning, the carriages of the Zhu Family and the Yang Family almost stopped in front of the gate of the Su House at the same time. The Masters of the two families looked at each other. No one said anything first. Instead, they hurried to the Main Courtyard of the Su Family.
A large number of guards of the Su Family surrounded the main courtyard of the Su House. Except for the maids who sent lunch, even Zhu Yan had no chance to get close. It was not until the evening that the two Patriarchs left the Su Family with indescribable expressions.
Two people of the Yang Family stayed. They were Su Huanli's sister Su Yuezhu and her son Yang Wei. Su Yuezhu married into the Yang Family in the last generation.
"Brother, I haven't returned to my parents' home for a long time. Why don't Wei and I stay for a few days?"
There was a kind smile on Su Yuezhu's face. Su Huanli couldn't help but think of Su Yuezhu's coquettish appearance when he was a child. Although he knew Su Yuezhu's purpose, his heart softened and he agreed.
"There are still empty rooms in the west courtyard. You can choose a guest room to stay in."
"Thank you, brother." Su Yuezhu called out sweetly. She was only in her early thirties and had maintained her appearance very well. She was not much different from a twenty-year-old girl.
"Thank you, Uncle." Yang Wei also saluted from behind. He had a cultured and refined appearance, but his eyes were wandering from time to time, as if he was looking for someone's beautiful figure.
Seeing this, Su Huanli's expression was slightly cold and he warned severely, "Nephew Yang Wei, don't go to Jinyuan Court again. Yuezhu, you too. A few days ago, Erya was accidentally injured and just recovered. She needs to rest. "
"Erya? Is she your second daughter?" Su Yuezhu was surprised, "Why does that little girl live in Jinyuan Court?"
Su Huanli coughed slightly and didn't explain. Su Yuezhu could only leave with her son first.
There were many rooms in the west courtyard. They were all cleaned by the maid who was responsible for cleaning. After Su Yuezhu settled down, she immediately began to ask her son about Jinyuan Court.
"Mother, I have said before that there is a fairy in Su Family! But I didn't expect that her name is Erya. "When it came to beautiful women, Yang Wei's face became excited.
"You are so unpromising. You are so fascinated by a woman."
Su Yuezhu scolded, but her tone was not harsh, "If you want to marry her, you can do it at any time. The most important thing for you now is to marry Su Zipei immediately! "
"I know." When it came to Su Zipei, Yang Wei suddenly lost interest and said dejectedly.
Su Yuezhu was speechless for a while. Her son was good at everything, but he was too lascivious. It was nothing. But he delayed the business of the Yang Family because of his lasciviousness, which made the Yang Family lose the first opportunity to seize the Baiwei Building. Thus, it caused the embarrassing situation of the three families.
Li Shanbao sent all the cooks in the Dasu Town back to their hometown. There were many helpers in the restaurant, but no one could be a chef. Su Zipei who could cook became the only savior.
It could be said that whoever got Su Zipei could get the biggest profit from the Baiwei Building!
"Xiaowei, a man should focus on his career. A man must prioritize his career. If you become a high-ranking official, what woman can't you marry? " Su Yuezhu couldn't help but persuade him, "If you marry Su Zipei, the entire Baiwei Building will be yours. The Su Family will be obedient to you. Can Su Erya run away?"
"Yes!"
Yang Wei seemed to wake up from a dream and suddenly realized. He held Su Yuezhu's hand tightly and said, "Mother, I've figured it out. After I marry Su Zipei, I will cheat her of all her recipes, divorce her, and then marry Erya as my first wife!"
Yang Wei said as he excitedly went to find Su Zipei.
Su Yuezhu was stunned. How could her son be so obsessed with Su Erya? In her impression, Erya was just an ugly and thin black girl. No matter how she changed in these years, she would not become a fairy, right?
But she didn't say much. It was not easy for her son to take the initiative to pursue Su Zipei. It was better not to dispel his enthusiasm.
It was not long before Yang Wei returned to the guest room angrily.
"Mother, I didn't see Zipei. First Aunt stopped me from going in. She said that Zipei was learning embroidery and it was not appropriate to disturb her."
Su Yuezhu, who was taking a nap on the bed, opened her eyes. The maid who was massaging Su Yuezhu immediately got up and went out to close the door slowly.
"I forgot that my brother married Zhu Yan. The Zhu Family is Su Zipei's grandmother's family. The situation is very unfavorable for our Yang Family." Thinking of this, Su Yuezhu frowned.
A daughter was close to her mother. In this way, Su Zipei would be more inclined to her mother. Even if Wei succeeded, the Yang Family would still be in a weak position.
"No wonder when my husband gave me the task, he looked gloomy. Presumably, he didn't have much hope. Under these circumstances, it's impossible for Wei 'er to marry Su Zipei. "
Su Yuezhu felt cold in her heart. But on second thought, it was also an opportunity for her to make a name for herself in the Yang Family.
If my brother could give more benefits to the Yang Family for the sake of the old affection, I would definitely take the initiative!
Su Yuezhu's eyes became brighter and brighter. She immediately went out to find Su Huanli. She completely forgot that her son who came to find her before was not in the room.
Outside the Jinyuan Court, Yang Wei looked at the heavily guarded place and couldn't help but have a headache. Su Huanli, the old guy, sent so many guards to guard against him. It was outrageous!
Lightly coughing twice, Yang Wei put on a dignified appearance and walked over. Unlike last time, this time he was stopped by a cold-faced guard before he could even reach the door.
"Master ordered that no one is allowed to enter the Jinyuan Court during this time, especially you, Master Yang."
Yang Wei suddenly became angry and said, "How dare you! I am the First Young Master of the Yang Family. Your master is my uncle and my mother is his sister. How can he restrict me? You servants, let me in quickly! "
The guards still didn't change their expressions, like the smelly and hard stones in the latrine pit. They didn't listen to Yang Wei at all.
Yang Wei was so angry that he almost wanted to break in by force. But when he thought of the martial arts he learned, he couldn't get any advantage in front of so many guards. It would be bad if he lost his face in front of the fairy.
"Humph! Just you wait! "Yang Wei threw down a ruthless sentence and left with his tail between his legs. Mammy Li, who peeped in the courtyard, laughed.
"Miss's appearance is really unparalleled in the world. Master Yang just saw her once, but he became so obsessed with her."
Sitting on the rattan chair, Su Li took a sip of scented tea and shook her head with a smile, "It's not a good thing. Cousin Yang is a lustful person. I remember that he and Third Sister promised to marry each other privately. Now he abandoned her."
"Really?" Mammy Li was surprised to hear such a secret for the first time.
"I also heard it from the two of them at the Three Harmonies Bridge." Su Li blinked, put down the scroll, stood up and stretched, "I am rusty in the Jinyuan Court all day long."
"I heard from the butler that it's very chaotic recently. Master doesn't let you go out, of course, he is protecting you."
Mammy Li picked up the cold teapot and said with approval, "I also feel that it's unusual recently. I'm nervous everywhere. Miss, look at the large group of guards outside the Jinyuan Court. Even I have to be searched every time I go in and out. "
"I know. I won't run around."
Su Li squinted her eyes with a smile, which made people unable to see the light in her eyes.
That night, a black light flashed over the Jinyuan Court. Su Li, who wore a black mask, quietly bypassed Li Yin's residence and went straight to Su Zipei's residence in the West Courtyard.
At this moment, there was a man in black standing in front of Su Zipei's window. The dagger in his hand reflected a cold light. In the next moment, the man in black had a ferocious look in his eyes as he fiercely stabbed at Su Zipei's chest!
Suddenly —
A slender figure shrouded in shadows suddenly appeared and knocked on the wrist of the black figure.
The black figure only felt a huge force from his wrist, which almost broke his whole arm. He could no longer hold the dagger. "Clang", it fell on the green tiles and made a harsh sound.
Su Zipei was awakened and saw two men in black in front of the window. She was so frightened that her scream almost broke her throat and echoed over the Su House.
"Oh no!"
The man in black had no time to pick up the dagger and turned over to go out of the window. Su Li tilted her head and smiled at Su Zipei. Then she disappeared like a phantom.
