Noon.

The hot pot restaurant is always packed with customers.

Master Wu returned with his family and friends.

To give them a better experience, Lin Yan ordered three hot pots for them in the innermost area.

She had always thought that men like Master Wu would marry young and beautiful concubines.

But the reality was beyond her expectations...

Among his concubines, the youngest was around thirty years old.

What surprised her even more was...

Without exception, they all have fiery, loud, and outspoken personalities.

Don't be fooled by how imposing Master Wu usually appears in public.

But in front of his concubines, he behaved as obediently as a docile mouse.

Seeing their unusual way of getting along, Lin Yan couldn't help but laugh out loud.

No wonder Master Wu took a liking to me back then.

So he really likes "shrewish women"!

The store was packed with customers just like yesterday.

The ingredients were almost in short supply, so Lin Yan went to the backyard to help wash the vegetables.

Seeing her leave, the ladies caught up with her, glancing at her from head to toe.

His eyes were full of approval.

"Are you the second wife that our master had his eye on?"

Their voices were loud and clear, with a unique Northwestern accent, leading Lin Yan to believe they were there to cause trouble.

She frowned almost imperceptibly.

"Ladies, you may not know this, but I got married a few days ago and have already made things clear with Master Wu that we are just business partners."

Seeing the hint of displeasure on her face, the others quickly offered explanations:

"Oh dear, young lady, you've misunderstood us. We're not here to cause trouble! With your youthful beauty and ability to run such a shop in town, there's no way you'd be interested in our old man!"

"Yes! We sisters heard that you caused quite a scene at the Wu residence a few days ago, which made our master give up the idea of ​​marrying you. We just wanted to come and see what kind of woman has such courage!"

After understanding the situation, Lin Yan showed a helpless smile:

"Ladies, you flatter me. It is Master Wu's good character that has prevented him from holding a grudge against me or seeking revenge. For you ladies to be so highly regarded by Master Wu, you must be people of noble character."

"Wow, this girl is so good with words! We sisters are all embarrassed by her compliments!"

The ladies went out as if they had been drinking fake alcohol.

He kept laughing to himself, feeling dizzy and confused.

This time, Master Wu brought quite a few people with him.

His wives and friends were all known for their voluptuous figures.

When it came time to pay the bill, Ms. Wang was quite surprised when she did the math.

They actually ate two taels of silver!

Of course, this amount of silver was nothing to them.

After paying the money, the group was about to leave when they heard a series of wailing cries for their parents coming from the shop entrance.

"Ouch! My stomach hurts so much! I can't take it anymore, their hot pot isn't clean, I can't eat it... Ouch, it hurts so much! I'm going to die..."

"No way, their house looks pretty clean..."

Two middle-aged men were lying on the ground in front of the shop, screaming in pain and rolling around!

In a short while.

More and more people are gathering in front of the shop...

Some uninformed people were deceived by their superb acting skills and joined in the condemnation.

Seeing the commotion at the door getting increasingly chaotic, Ye Jun stepped forward in time:

"Everyone, please be quiet! The ingredients for our hot pot restaurant are all bought every morning and washed with clean well water. If you don't believe me, you can go and take a look in the backyard."

"How do we know you didn't use the meat you bought a few days ago and pass it off as high-quality meat!"

"That's right!"

"Ouch, that hurts so much! Your store has to pay you back, or I'm going to report you to the authorities!"

Lin Yan had already come out from the backyard by then.

But before she even reached the door, a pink flash appeared before her eyes!

"Bullshit! So many of us ate here and had no problems, and you're the only one with a stomachache? You're kidding me! Trying to scam people without even knowing who owns this shop?"

It turned out that it was Madam Ji, the youngest wife of Master Wu, who stepped forward!

Unable to bear seeing others slander her beloved restaurant, she ignored the obstruction of those around her and rushed forward to confront the two people!

Lin Yan was amused by her righteous and righteous demeanor.

She had thought that Master Wu would reprimand her for this.

Unexpectedly, he not only didn't stop her, but looked at his young wife with admiration.

“Jishetang is located on East Street. If you really got sick from eating at our restaurant, we will compensate you fivefold. But if you didn’t get sick from eating there, then I will take you to the county town to report to the authorities and have the county magistrate clear our restaurant’s name!”

After hearing Lin Yan's words, the two people lying on the ground pretending to be sick looked at each other.

If they reported it to the authorities in town, they wouldn't be afraid, as that person was backing them up.

But if you go to the county government office, things are a different story.

After all, the county magistrate was known for his uprightness and incorruptibility!

If it turns out they are imposters, they might even be locked up in jail for a few days!

"Oh dear, my stomach doesn't hurt as much anymore. I probably ate too much today..."

Fearing they would actually be arrested and taken to the county government, the two quickly scrambled to their feet, pushed through the crowd, and fled in panic!

In this way...

The onlookers also figured out what was going on and started yelling at the two who were trying to escape.

After the crowd dispersed, Lin Yan approached Madam Ji and bowed in gratitude.

"Thank you so much for your generosity today, Madam. You will receive a discount on all your hot pot meals at our restaurant in the future!"

Lady Ji was tall.

Her appetite was naturally larger than that of an ordinary woman, especially when it came to meat. When she heard that she could have hot pot at a discount, her eyes immediately lit up!

"Oh! That's great! I absolutely love your hot pot, I'll definitely come here often from now on!"

After the farce that just happened.

After seeing off Master Wu and his entourage, the shop became much quieter.

Meanwhile, Lin Xinghua once again came to visit Lin Yan's home.

Only Xie Muqing was home this time.

The door wasn't locked, so she easily slipped in.

At that time.

Xie Muqing was not in the courtyard, but was practicing calligraphy at the table in the west room.

He frowned when he saw Lin Xinghua barge in without saying a word!

Unable to contain his anger any longer, he slammed the pen down on the table!

"Lin Xinghua, I think I made myself very clear last time. If you are still stubborn, I might as well just throw you out! Let everyone see how a young unmarried girl can shamelessly seduce a married man!"

"Thank you, young master. Please don't be angry. I just came to see you and will leave after one look..."

Although Lin Xinghua's steps seemed to be moving outwards, her eyes remained fixed on the man in the wheelchair!

"You can leave now... Lin Xinghua! What... what did you throw in me? Why am I so dizzy..."

Now Xie Muqing's mind is starting to become blurry.

Lin Xinghua's hideous face slowly transformed into Lin Yan's likeness...
