Those poisoned were all the ones who had made a scene at Jiang Xue’s [Yiyuan Restaurant], isn’t it obvious that their poisoning is related to Jiang Xue?

So those people came over, how clever a person is Wang Yongqiang? How could he possibly hand over the antidote to them so easily?

He was just kind-heartedly recommending them to go to the Changchun Hall to see if there’s a cure. This is a restaurant, not a clinic; they won’t admit it’s their doing, people aren’t stupid. How could they admit it was them who poisoned them? As for whether they go, how much money they spend, that’s none of his business.

The conflict likely accumulated at that time. Afterward, the fearless Tang Family tried poking around again.

They didn’t fall victim to chronic poison, but instead were stung by a venomous bee called the Murder Bee, suffered heavy losses. To think that the Five Elements Manor couldn’t buy out even a shabby restaurant was indeed shameful, frankly outmatched. They thought up countless ways to infiltrate the kitchen or tamper with the food, but each time they were detected, not a single success, and instead suffered retaliation.

Watching helplessly as Yi Garden flourished, they were left only envious, ultimately ending with the restaurant closing down in despair.

As the owner of Yiyuan, Jiang Xue naturally went to Beijing several times, showed her face, and though not directly involved in negotiations, they had people who recognized her. So when Jiang Xue appeared in the Shui Clan’s ranks, someone reported it to the current Mrs. Tang.

Later, she had an argument with Tang Cangcang, which was witnessed and truthfully reported, leading to endless trouble.

Now, with Jiang Xue standing here, what’s unclear? She’s being retaliated against!

Mrs. Tang was dressed extravagantly; with all those accessories on her head, she wasn’t feeling tired, and her hands adorned with jade and gold bracelets, as if afraid people wouldn’t know her family was wealthy. As for Second Miss Tang, don’t even mention it, so young, probably not even as old as her, yet dressed in rouge like an opera performer, a perfect example of a jumping clown. Don’t know what kind of aesthetics the Tang Family Patriarch has, to dote on such a lady and a miss. She truly can’t understand.

On the contrary, the one she met earlier, Tang Cangcang, although her temper wasn’t good, at least dressed normally. Unlike these two, who were like clowns sent by monkeys to entertain everyone. Sometimes, being simple and clean isn’t bad, why dress so pretentiously?

Maybe they think it makes them look wealthy, unaware that wealth and nobility also need the right temperament and person to match. If they’re wrong, even if you’re rich and noble, others might think you’re wearing someone else’s clothes. That’s the awkward feeling the Tang Family mother and daughter gave her.

So when she brought up retaliation, people weren’t pleased. Mrs. Tang, with rouge-red nails pointed at her, face blushed with rouge, lips smeared a creepy red, "How bold, still dare to argue now, you’ve harmed Tang Family’s legitimate heir before, defied me after, who gave you the courage to disregard rules and talk back to me?"

"You say I harmed Tang Family’s legitimate heir? What evidence do you have?"

"Evidence? You had a quarrel with my eldest miss before, she went missing after, if it’s not your retaliation, then whose?"

Jiang Xue mercilessly pointed out: "You indeed!"

"You!" The two words from Jiang Xue infuriated Mrs. Tang to the point of smoke coming out of her orifices: "You vile bastard, a wretched thing with a mother but no father, spewing nonsense, someone, arrest her for me, drag her outside to be beaten. When she’s been beaten into submission, drag her back, I don’t believe, as Mrs. Tang, I can’t deal with this rogue!"

Born with a mother but without a father? Such words could come from Mrs. Tang’s mouth? It’s truly opened her eyes.

Jiang Xue raised her brows and looked at Mrs. Tang: "I warn you, don’t touch me; whoever touches me will regret it, if you don’t believe, try and see!"

The words sounded familiar; Mrs. Tang immediately thought back to when she was in Yi Garden, as if she remembered hearing similar words from someone named Zhang. In the end, all her subordinates were poisoned, this time, though the person being threatened changed, it... certainly scared her. 𝒇𝓻𝓮𝓮𝙬𝙚𝒃𝒏𝓸𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝓬𝓸𝒎

She hesitated, and Jiang Xue ignored her crazed look, sat on the chair next to her, calmly glanced over at her.
