Mu Kaiji had also been a student, so he naturally knew what excuse she was using.

An Yi, on the other hand, seemed curious about the excuse, keeping her eyes fixed on Ji Yingying, wanting Ji Yingying to look at her.

At the same time, she complained to Mu Kaiji, "Why did you have to come and compete for favor?"

"It's normal that you got beaten up for that reason."

"Hehe..." Ji Yingying chuckled, then looked at An Yi and tapped the table with her two hands, asking, "How many of the storybooks I asked for have you written?"

"Take a look." An Yi handed it over, and Ji Yingying glanced at it.

Oh...not bad, not bad.

"Keep writing in this direction, keep it up! Who knows, you might get a five-day holiday in a couple of days."

"Thank you, Miss Ji."

Ji Yingying didn't pay me, but she gave me five days off and even provided food and accommodation, which was pretty good.

Based on her understanding, An Yi was not poor, so she didn't need to waste money.

"Come on, detective, let's go to the shop and take a look. You can make whatever changes you want later. Everything is up to you."

"Then let's go."

After leaving the study, Mu Kaiji asked, "By the way, how's Fu Yunjie's situation?"

"The Dali Temple has full authority to handle this matter, and it should be resolved soon."

[I initially planned to ask Lord Rong, since he's from the Imperial City Guard and could handle it quickly. Later, he recommended Lord Gongsun; that old man is quite capable.]

"Okay, thank you, sister. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't know how to seek justice."

[Verification complete, this is a green tea bitch...]

Ji Yingying's shop was quite close, so the two walked there.

"Ta-da... Look, this is my shop. Isn't it big? Isn't it beautiful?" Ji Yingying was very proud.

At the age of ten, she already owns such a large restaurant and has so much wealth; she'll never have to worry about food or drink for the rest of her life.

Think back to what you were doing at ten years old in your past life? Playing in the mud, planting lotus flowers...

"Beautiful, what are you planning to sell?"

"I don't know either, but I've investigated the market in the capital. I think this is a viable option. The best restaurant here, Juxianlou, is owned by the Crown Princess. The food they serve isn't very high-end; it's mostly just ordinary dishes."

"After I came here, I provided services such as castrating pigs, corn planting, watermelon planting, underfloor heating, down jacket manufacturing, and greenhouse vegetable cultivation, ensuring warmth in winter and vegetables for winter. So, I think we can sell food, and it's almost autumn now."

"The weather will get colder and colder, so I ordered people to build copper pots for hot pot. We'll open a hot pot restaurant in the winter, and when summer comes, the hot pot will be moved to the second floor, while we can cook dishes on the first floor. As for what to cook, we'll figure that out later. But we can't forget stir-fried pork with chili peppers. There's only one type of chili pepper, which is too few. I've already sent people to search for more. I believe that Tianyou Dynasty is vast and rich in resources, so there should be plenty of things."

[We absolutely have to get this done, even if we lose money at first. It's our livelihood.]

"Okay, but hot pot is all about the numbing spiciness and fresh aroma. How can this be enough with only one type of chili?"

"You're right, that's why I haven't opened yet, I've been waiting for Chili to appear."

Suddenly, Ji Yingying looked at him and her eyes lit up.

Feeling uneasy under her gaze, Mu Kaiji quickly asked, "What do you want?"

"How about you help me make some arrangements?"

"Okay, but let's not think about hot pot yet. Let's focus on cooking first. However, we might need to try each recipe one by one, as I'm not very good at cooking."

“I have a recipe.” Ji Yingying took out a recipe, a modern one with pictures.

"What are you doing...?"

"I have space, hehe~"

Mu Kaiji couldn't help but facepalm. Look at other people who transmigrate, they have everything, while he transmigrated and had nothing.

Same person, different fate!

"However, my space is empty except for a lot of food, mostly snacks. I used to have some vegetables, but I squandered them all. Now I have nothing at all. I've almost forgotten that my space even exists over the years."

In her previous life, she had lived a good life and never experienced hardship. She used the space as a storage room, and she did the same here, hardly ever using it.

That's it! Mu Kaiji was envious. They had two golden fingers, but what about him?

God is unfair!

"Sister, I'll have to rely on you to take care of me from now on."

"Sure! Sure!"

With the recipes ready, Ji Yingying gave him another 100,000 taels of silver, and left everything else to him to arrange.

"Then take a few days to study it, and let me know when you're sure you want to open. By the way, there's a house in the backyard of this shop. Are you staying here or at my place?"

"Stay here."

"Okay, then you can arrange it as you see fit, I won't worry about it."

Seeing her like this, Mu Kaiji couldn't help but ask, "Sister, aren't you afraid I'll embezzle your money? Your shop?" Mu Kaiji suddenly lowered her voice, her deep voice quite alluring.

Looking at the store, it was quite large; if he really wanted to be greedy, he could certainly manage to steal some.

"hehe……"

Ji Yingying gave a mocking laugh: "[Even a detective would say something like that?]"

He's a manipulative woman. He'll say things like, "Sister, please pamper me." Even if he doesn't say it, just look at his eyes—they're all incredibly seductive. Otherwise, he wouldn't be the male lead in a harem.

[Yes, yes, besides, with you here to watch the drama unfold, why would I be afraid he'd be greedy?]

Mu Kaiji: ...I almost forgot about this system.

"why are you laughing?"

"You're so cute, detective. From now on, I'm leaving this place in your hands. I will always trust the People's Liberation Army."

"Sister, you're so kind~"

"I'm not okay, I'm leaving. If you need anything, just use that money. If it's not enough, come to me. Let's work hard to make a lot of money."

Ji Yingying is eagerly anticipating the arrival of Taobao or a shopping mall, as she wants to earn both money and points.

After leaving the shop, Ji Yingying returned home, and half a day passed just like that.

…………

The next morning at court, when she arrived, the court was in an uproar, as noisy as old women haggling at a market.

What happened?

Before Xiangxiang could reply, the Emperor arrived. As soon as the Emperor entered, the Right Vice Minister of the Ministry of Personnel knelt down and cried out, "Your Majesty, please, Your Majesty, grant this old minister justice!"

He... cried like his father had died, so pitifully.

“Yesterday, my son was out walking when, unexpectedly, Lord Hu’s son suddenly jumped out and beat him up. When I found my son, he was almost dead. Lord Hu’s son even said he would kill my son.”

"Your Majesty, my son has always been well-behaved and has never offended Lord Hu."

"I beg Your Majesty to grant this old minister justice."

“Your Majesty, this was absolutely not done by my son. I didn’t even let him leave the house yesterday. Moreover, I beat him up yesterday. How could he have gone out?” Lord Hu also knelt down, claiming that his son had not left the house.
