Chapter 625: All previous efforts were wasted



Looking at the seal, I saw that the three words "Chunfenglou" were indeed printed under it. I had also heard some stories about this restaurant. It had three shopkeepers, and they all moved away inexplicably in the end.

"Who is that Qiao Er?"

"He used to be our housekeeper and chef. Everyone in the city praised the meals he cooked." The woman began to recall the time when Chunfeng Tower enjoyed a great reputation.

At this time, Qiao Er was listening to the conversation of several people stealthily at the door. The pockmarked man walked in directly, dragged Qiao Er in, and asked him to stand aside. Qiao Er in front of him was not very tall, but had a handsome appearance, but his face was covered with dust, and he hadn't taken a shower for some days. These people hid in the cave and never saw the sun.

"The government has been looking for you, so what are you going to do now?" Ji Heng asked the key question. The pockmarked man and the woman looked at each other and knelt in front of him. However, Qiao Er looked confused and seemed to have mental disorder.

"Sir, we know that this Huajianlou had few customers when it first opened. Later, Madam was willing to donate generously and let the refugees come to eat. Ma Zi and I saw it all. It is only natural that this Huajianlou should be run by your director of operations.

This Huajianlou doesn't belong to us anymore, so Mazi and I have nothing to say. We have been living in hiding for these years, and we think it's enough. If the adults insist on sending us to the government office for investigation, Mazi and I will have no regrets. "

Ma Zi nodded rapidly, having already handed over their lives and fate to Ji Heng.

"What's up, husband? It's so lively." Shu'er heard the noisy conversation in the hall and ran over curiously. She wanted to tell her husband that her aunt had given birth to a cute and clever little girl, but she didn't expect there were three more people here. She hid beside Ji Heng in fear and grabbed his hand, "Husband, who are these people?"

Ji Heng patted her on the back and explained to her in a comforting way.

After the explanation, Shu'er was no longer afraid. She walked up to the three people and said, "So it was you who were sneaking around these days and didn't show your true colors. You scared my aunt into giving birth prematurely."

When Chunniang heard this, she quickly shook her head and said, "Don't mind it, young lady. The three of us didn't mean it. We had no intention of causing the woman to have a premature birth. Alas, Qiao Er, you are such a fool!" Then she hit Qiao Er twice.

Shu'er pulled Ji Heng's sleeve, motioned him to step aside, and whispered to him, "Husband, how are you going to deal with them?" Ji Heng looked at her hesitantly and said, "This restaurant originally belonged to them, and we are just borrowing their territory.

Besides, Qiao Er is already suffering from a state of deathly insomnia, which is pitiful enough. Ma Zi and Chun Niang have not done anything bad, so why not wait until the lady wakes up and ask her for her opinion. "Shu Er hesitated and nodded again and again, "Well, since you said so, I'll listen to you."

That night, Shangguan Yurou made a bowl of egg custard and brought it to Rong Zhen's room. She saw him carving something and walked up to him, looking forward to it. Unexpectedly, it was an exquisite crossbow that she could hold in her hand and hide behind her back.

"Ah Zhen, you've been busy with these things these days, it must be very tiring."

"It's not hard, everything is just to make more money."

“Why do you have such an idea?”

Shangguan Yurou looked at him curiously, her gentle eyes filled with spring water.

"Didn't you say you wanted to marry me? But marriage requires a lot of money. I must earn enough money to marry you in a formal way." Rong Zhen thought for a long time. He knew that Shangguan Yurou's love for him was not just one day or two nights. He didn't want to let her down like this. However, Shangguan Yurou didn't come back to her senses for a long time. She walked to sit beside him, "Ah Zhen, you have thought about it seriously. Are you willing to marry me?"

Rong Zhen nodded, took her scallion-like hand and said to her: "In fact, these past few days I have been thinking about whether I can treat you well and make you happy. I have thought a lot, so I have been hesitant and wavering."

"I'm so happy that you think this way..." Shangguan Yurou threw herself into his arms without hesitation, and the tears of relief and joy flowed down her eyes.

Xiaoyu walked in at this time, holding some bacon and many red envelopes.

Seeing the two of them cuddling together, I quickly turned my head away, pretending I saw nothing.

"Xiao Yu, you're back. What brought you back so late today?" Shangguan Yu Rou quickly struggled out of Rong Zhen's arms and walked to Xiao Yu's side. She saw that her face was full of joy just now, but a grim expression appeared on her face the moment she walked in.

"The boss gave birth, so I got a lot of money. What's the meat? That's why I came back late..." Xiaoyu squeaked and whimpered, and her words were illogical. Thinking of the scene just now, her face felt like it was on fire.

Seeing Xiaoyu sneak into the kitchen, Shangguan Yurou turned her head to look at Rong Zhen, then followed Xiaoyu to the kitchen.

"What's wrong? Xiaoyu, are you worried about something?" Shangguan Yurou came behind her and saw her start to cut the bacon and put the seasonings aside, but her movements seemed very chaotic and disorganized.

Xiaoyu smiled at her and said, "Nothing, I'm just making something. Sister Shangguan, the kitchen smells a lot of oil fumes. You should go back and keep Azhen company. I'm fine here alone." Xiaoyu looked at her with a forced smile. Shangguan Yurou narrowed her eyes and held her hand.

"You don't have to lie to me. We have been sisters for so many days. I know what you are thinking better than anyone. Have you fallen in love with Azhen too?" As soon as the words fell, Xiaoyu seemed to be frozen, standing there in a daze like a clay sculpture or a wooden carving.

He quickly withdrew his hand and said, "What are you talking about? Sister Shangguan, I don't know what you are talking about, and Azhen and I are just brother and sister. You and him are the most suitable for each other. And I seem to have heard that you are discussing the marriage just now. I wish you all the best..." Xiaoyu became incoherent again after he finished speaking, and the movements of his hands became very flustered.

It can be seen that she was indeed panicked. Shangguan Yurou took a deep breath and said, "When you asked me how I felt about Ah Zhen, you were actually testing me, right? In fact, you have fallen deeply in love with him.

But you still want me to be with him, wanting him to have a reason to stay. I can understand why you do this, but what I can't understand is why you hide it from me?"
