Ling Qi expressed his gratitude and left some of the beautifully packaged bread and cakes at the government office, thanking Lord Yu and the yamen runners for their impartiality in enforcing the law.
The remaining half was distributed to the onlookers as a thank you for witnessing the bakery's innocence.
Everyone was very happy. Not only did they watch a play, but they also ate delicious food.
They all congratulated Ling Qi on clearing his name.
Ling Qi waved his hand and said that the bakery would offer a 50% discount for the next three days.
Customers on the second floor were also promised three 50% off coupons, which could be used no matter when they came or how much they bought.
When the young masters and young ladies on the second floor heard this, they patted Ling Qi's shoulders with satisfaction and strode away.
I thought to myself that it is true that when you are famous you are prone to gossip. Who is he thinking he is a fool to use such a crude method to bring down the other person?
How short-sighted! It would be better to ask the other party for help, buy a few prescriptions and then open a shop.
I had no idea that Xu Daquan's action was not aimed at business at all.
He was just venting his anger, hating Ling Qi for helping Old Man Dong slap the Xu family in the face.
He didn't even think about whether it was possible for the Ling family, and had no idea about the grudge between Mr. Xu and his family.
After finishing the matter here, Chi Xingyue took the group to a restaurant to calm down.
Chunzhi Li Zhi sat in the lobby flattered, feeling that he had caused trouble for the second young master's wife.
Unexpectedly, Chi Xingyue stood up and took the initiative to thank everyone for not backing down in the face of difficulties. She was very pleased.
Chunzhi smiled, patted her chest and said, "Second Young Master Madam, Chunzhi is yours from now on, and will be yours for life!"
Chunfen and Li Zhi also hurried to express their positions.
Chi Xingyue nodded and asked everyone to start eating.
A table full of signature dishes, including a variety of meat and vegetables, would cost a lot of money.
Chi Xingyue didn't feel sorry at all. He opened two tables and asked the waiter to bring two bottles of good wine.
Chunzhi sighed, "The Second Young Master's wife is really generous. But the food here isn't as good as the one in the mansion."
But she was content. As a servant, she could dine in the most famous restaurant in the city, which was something she had never dared to imagine before.
Now that it has come true, I am filled with emotion.
After eating and drinking, the group went home together.
When I went back and told the old lady about the bakery, she snorted, "You dare to use any means? Don't you even look at what our family used to do?"
Chi Xingyue chuckled: "Eighty percent likely, that Xu guy never even asked about our family's situation."
The old lady rolled her eyes and thought that it would be no use without someone she knew in the city to spread the word.
If it were in Jiangning Prefecture, whoever dared to have any intentions towards the Ling family would be beaten to death or suffer a heavy loss.
Chi Xingyue didn't dwell on this matter too much. He asked someone to send a letter to Ling Ba to remind him, and then entered the space.
She hummed a tune while eating fruit, not paying any attention to Xu Daquan.
I don’t know, they are so angry over there.
Xu Daquan smashed a bunch of things again: "Waste, waste, can't you even frame someone? You confessed everything after being threatened?
You, you, you, how did you find that person?"
Butler Xu knelt on the ground, sweating profusely, without saying a word.
My mind uncontrollably imagines those mysterious directions.
It seems that the Xu family's misfortune began after that group of assassins disappeared.
Thinking of this, my body couldn't help but tremble.
"Master, do you think it's possible that they've returned?"
"Who are they?"
"Just Xu Yong, Xu Qian and the others!"
"Get out!" Xu Daquan kicked the butler away, and after slapping his nose several times, he barely regained his composure.
"Send a message to Chunya and Lao Ding. If there's no progress, I'll kill their parents, their sons, and their daughters!"
"yes!"
***
After all the commotion, the bakery's business not only didn't get worse, but got even better. It really makes people jealous and hateful.
Ling Qi is a good person and took the initiative to bring gifts to thank the surrounding shops for their help.
His attitude was sincere and there was nothing he could find fault with. The hostility around him was much less.
When Ling Jiheng was on leave, he learned about this and blamed Chi Xingyue for not informing him in time.
Chi Xingyue raised his eyebrows slightly: "What's the point of telling you, isn't it still up to Ling Yi and the others to solve it?
Just study peacefully in the academy. If you find out you can't leave, won't you get anxious and angry? "
Ling Jiheng sighed helplessly and said nothing.
But he went out that night and came back at dawn, only to find Chi Xingyue was not asleep, sitting on the bed and staring at him.
Ling Jiheng didn't explain and held the person in his arms.
The night is long, and I have to do something to relieve the pain of missing you for so many days.
***
The third day of May, the eve of Dragon Boat Festival.
The bakery has launched red date and red bean dumplings, purple rice and chestnut dumplings, egg yolk and fresh meat dumplings, and lily and osmanthus dumplings.
The price is a little expensive, but the quality is very high.
Even those whose families are not well off are willing to come and buy two and share them with their family members to try.
Not to mention the regular customers, who have hundreds and hundreds of reservations.
If it weren't for the servants working day and night, we wouldn't be able to supply the food.
Chi Xingyue sat at the counter, eating the purple rice and eight-treasure rice dumplings cooked by Baozhu for her, and she felt like she was flying.
"Well, Baozhu's skills have improved a lot. I'm reluctant to marry her off to Erzhu."
After saying that, she took another bite: "But marrying Erzhu is better than marrying someone else. If I want to eat something, I can ask her to cook it."
What Ling Jiheng held in his hand was a fresh meat dumpling.
A large piece of lean meat wrapped in glutinous rice does not taste greasy at all.
When customers see them, they insist on buying what the two of them have.
Chi Xingyue glared at him and said, "You have good taste. You can only give two, no more."
"Come on, come on, come on, thank you so much, boss lady!"
As he said this, he took out the money.
