Chapter 109: Spoiled Them
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
When they returned home, Rong Yan, who had been woken up, looked up with his heavy eyelids and impatience written all over his face. Yun Yi, who had just returned, was stunned. “Master, why aren’t you asleep?” Rong Yan was a light sleeper. It was not easy for him to sleep again after being forced awake in the middle of the night. Moreover, he was delicate and precious. If he didn’t sleep well for a night, he would be listless for a few days.
Everyone knew that Rong Yan was very angry when he woke up. He waved his hand. “Tell me, who is it?”
Yun Yi did not waste any time and told him the news he had just obtained.
“It’s someone from the Heavenly Fragrance Restaurant. They found out that Miss Ning is the person who provided the secret seasonings for the Fragrance Restaurant and especially came with ill intentions.”
Rong Yan supported his chin with one hand and said lazily with a hint of coldness, “I haven’t settled the score with them for what happened last time. I’ve spoiled them.”
Yun Yi knew that his master was talking about the matter a few days ago when the Heavenly Fragrance Restaurant sent Wang Biao to the Ning Family to snatch Miss Ning’s sour bamboo shoots recipe. At that time, his master said that Miss Ning had a plan, so he asked everyone to wait and see. Now that the second son of the Ning Family had already prepared the separation papers in the government, then…
He asked expectantly, “Master, how about I put on his sack, beat him up, and throw him into the lake? The kind that guarantees that no one will die.”
Rong Yan glanced at him and yawned. “Is that all you’ve got?”
Yun Yi thought to himself, Could 1 just kill him? Although it was not difficult, it might cause trouble for Miss Ning’s family.
Rong Yan got up and walked to the bedroom. As he walked, he said, “Ning Xiaoxiao still has to do business with the Fragrance Restaurant. If those people in the old residence are too free, they will inevitably annoy people.”
Yun Yi understood. His master wanted him to teach the old residence a lesson at the same time. He knew it. That second son of the Ning Family always made Miss Ning feel bad. Why would his master let him only be beaten up?
When they were about to reach the bedroom door, Rong Yan said, “The people from the Heavenly Fragrance Restaurant are all despicable. If we don’t succeed today, there will be more trouble in the future.”
He stood there and thought for a while. Then, he said, “Get someone to send a message to Ning Fengcai. Tell him that the shopkeeper of the Heavenly Fragrance Restaurant is treating him to a meal. At the same time, mention that he wants to ask about the Ruyi bun’s secret recipe. Then, send a letter to Lei. Write down Ning Fengcai’s name. Write that Fengcai volunteers and is willing to work for him.”
“I heard that the food in the Heavenly Fragrance Restaurant is not very fresh, right? If Ning Fengcai gets a stomach ache and makes a big deal out of it, do you think County Magistrate Shen will care?”
Good lord, in just a short moment, Master had included the three of them in his plan.
After that, Rong Yan pushed open the bedroom door and added before he went in, “I’m doing this to test County Magistrate Shen.”
Yun Yi and the other guards nodded repeatedly. They understood. He was not standing up for Miss Ning.
It was not until the next morning that Xiaoxiao asked her second brother about what happened last night. Her culinary skills and sleep quality were especially steady. Regardless of the thunder and rain outside, her cooking and sleeping quality were never affected. Hence, she was the only one in the entire family who slept soundly last night.
Ning Erlang laughed at her for being a little pig, but Ning Dalang glared at his second brother and said that his sister was lucky. Xiaoxiao accepted her eldest brother’s praise very humbly and went to the kitchen to grind chili powder and cumin powder as well as various spices that others could not understand to make seasoning.
The tension in the Ning Family continued for two days. In these two days, the three of them did not sleep well. Although they said that they took turns to guard the night every night, none of them actually slept well.
What they did not know was that in the past two days, there had been a commotion in the county.
Yun Yi and the others acted quickly. The letter and message had already been sent. Shopkeeper Lei was already envious of the commotion in Fragrance Restaurant. After the servant failed to visit at night, he was furious when he received Second Uncle Ning’s letter. He was really given a pillow when he was dozing off. He was sure that Second Uncle Ning did not have the guts to fool him. He did not think much about it after receiving the letter.
After receiving a message from a stranger, Second Uncle Ning only felt that since the eldest branch could be controlled by them once, it wouldn’t be too difficult for them to do it again. Thinking of the benefits he was about to obtain, he went to the appointment without hesitation.
He did some calculations in his heart. That lousy bamboo shoot was worth 50 taels. The Ruyi bun was so expensive and it was meat.. The secret recipe should be more valuable, right?
