The old lady of the Cai family's expression changed instantly.

She had her eye on the cake shop early on. It was a small shop, not the best location, and the costs weren't as high as at the Yunlai Restaurant, but the profits would be more than three times higher.

Cai Runiang was divorced by the county magistrate's son, and her family tried to find another official to rely on.

There are quite a few shadows that need to be active.

If the rich family gets the cake, she'll lose all her advantages.

"No!" the old lady of the Cai family said sternly.

Su Jiaoniang smiled. In this small courtyard, the only person she was truly acquainted with was Madam Feng; everyone else was just a casual acquaintance.

Of course, there was also Granny Tang.

But things are very strange today.

She knew her own abilities very well; taking away a Lady Feng wouldn't alarm anyone at all.

However, the entire Cai family was waiting there. Perhaps it was a sudden whim of a member of the Cai family to come to the Buddhist hall, and that's when they discovered that Madam Feng was missing.

But if the mood strikes, would you call over all the family members who have some standing?

Especially the princess, dressed in her finest attire, as if she had come early to watch the play.

Su Jiaoniang felt that... Granny Tang might have some problems.

Of course, she wasn't Madam Feng, and she didn't have that much affection for Granny Tang, especially since she was in the Cai family, and perhaps she felt somewhat helpless about it.

"You say no and that's it? The cake shop isn't yours, I can't just give it to whomever I want!" Su Jiaoniang said, making the old lady of the Cai family so angry that she almost vomited blood.

Cai Runiang couldn't stand it anymore.

He gave a wink, and two sturdy female servants stepped out from behind him.

He rolled up his sleeves and approached Su Jiaoniang.

Cai Runiang took a sip of tea and said quietly, "If you want to give the cake shop's share to Fu Chuntang, you'll have to either get out of here or leave."

As soon as she finished speaking, the strong maid grabbed Su Jiaoniang's arm.

They planned to pin the person down.

Su Jiaoniang frowned: "Are you trying to kill me to silence me?"

"What murder to cover it up? Someone like you, a peasant, I can kill whenever I want, relying on your pretty face to seduce. Magistrate, watch me kill you, and then he'll still want to break ties with the Cai family!"

As soon as Cai Runiang spoke, Madam Feng, who was standing next to Su Jiaoniang, turned deathly pale.

She knew who was behind Su Jiaoniang and why the magistrate had shown leniency towards Su Jiaoniang and had not acted corruptly in Cai Runiang's case.

But what if Su Jiaoniang dies here...?

With a sudden, forceful pull, a scream echoed through the Buddhist hall.

Madam Feng's eyes widened, and her legs went weak, causing her to collapse to the ground.

They watched helplessly as Su Jiaoniang grabbed the hands of the strong servant woman, pinned them both to the ground, and even dislocated their joints, leaving them unable to move!

Madam Feng's lips slowly curved into a smile.

She wanted to see how the Cai family would handle it.

Kill Su Jiaoniang?

Do they have that ability?

If they can't kill them, the Cai family won't be able to reap the benefits of the pie.

Seeing Madam Cai's discomfiture, Madam Feng's eyes grew brighter and brighter, and her mood improved. Even the scars on her face, which might never heal and were accompanied by pain, seemed to fade.

"stop!"

They saw Su Jiaoniang pinning two strong female servants to the ground and dislocating their arms.

Madam Cai spoke quickly.

Su Jiaoniang raised an eyebrow: "You think you can just stop like that?"

After saying that, she walked towards Cai Runiang. She was a law-abiding person, but since Cai Runiang wanted to kill her, it wouldn't be against her principles if she made a little move.

She approached Cai Runiang, grabbed her hair, and splashed the unfinished water from the tea table directly onto Cai Runiang's face.

"Is watching a play fun? Is killing fun? The Great Zhou has laws and a court. As a citizen of the Great Zhou, you shouldn't abide by the law. Instead, you think about killing every day. Now you're going to be killed too. Aren't you happy!"

Su Jiaoniang said with a cold laugh.

As for Cai Runiang, hot water was poured over her head, and she let out a scream of unbearable humiliation.

Su Jiaoniang dislocated Cai Runiang's arm and grabbed Cai Runiang's neck.

With just a little force, Cai Runiang would die.

She looked at the old lady and said, "Hand over the cake shop and sign a contract that the shop belongs to Sister Feng and has nothing to do with your Cai family, or I'll kill her!" Threatening people and spreading rumors—anyone can do that!

The old lady of the Cai family pursed her lips.

His face turned dark.

He reached out and slapped the armrest of the chair a few times: "Someone come here, someone come here, are they all dead?"

The Cai residence, which had been shrouded in darkness, was instantly illuminated by lights, as the Cai family's patrolling underlings arrived.

"Even if you kill Ru Niang, you can't escape the Cai family!" Old Madam Cai gritted her teeth and glared angrily at Su Jiao Niang.

Su Jiaoniang lowered her head, her gaze falling on Madam Feng: "Are you afraid?"

"What's there to be afraid of? My life has been quite eventful. As a child, I was targeted by villains because I was too beautiful, which led to the destruction of my family. My childhood sweetheart was hurt while protecting me and was later sold to a brothel. They raised me to be the most beautiful courtesan because I was young."

However, with the brothel's demise, I ended up singing in a theater. Later, Feng Wenzhuo took a liking to me, and we lived a few days of blissful bliss. Now, disfigured, my husband prefers beautiful women, and I probably won't catch his eye. Being divorced is only a matter of time. Such ups and downs in life are already much more exciting than the ordinary mediocre life of most people!

As Madam Feng finished speaking, a smile appeared on her lips.

She remained calm.

I didn't break down when I found out I was disfigured, and I certainly won't now. So what if I die?

She was not afraid of death, but she was worried about implicating Su Jiaoniang.

Her younger sister, Su, still has two children to worry about.

What will happen to the child if something goes wrong?

On the mule cart outside the Cai family's house, Lu Futu's little face wrinkled up. If it was just to drop someone off, he should have come out by now.

He couldn't hold back any longer.

I glanced at the trees next to the Cai family's wall, climbed up the trees, and saw a brightly lit Buddhist hall in the distance.

We've been discovered!

Futu looked around and saw clearly that his law-abiding mother was choking a woman and confronting the old lady sitting inside.

The outermost layer of guards held long knives.

The direction the knife was pointing was the direction his mother was standing in.

Anger flared up instantly in my heart.

The Cai family!

In my mind, there were flashes of images from my dream: Zhu Shi being turned into a human pig; and then there was a woman whose face I couldn't see clearly, crippled and frail, locked in a dark room.

I was just about to come out and face the Cai family's difficulties with my mother.

My head spun, and I leaned against a tree.

Su Jiaoniang stared at Madam Cai with a smile, having already made her plans.

The old lady doted on Cai Runiang, but compared to money, especially a cake shop that could generate a steady stream of income, it was more important to her.

It seems impossible to exchange Cai Runiang for a shop.

Su Jiaoniang suddenly pushed Cai Runiang aside, moved her feet imperceptibly, and appeared next to the old lady in the blink of an eye.

He used his fingers to restrain the old woman.

The older people get, the more afraid they are of death.

The more you cherish your own life.

She said, "What if we traded your life for the cake shop?"
