"I know Xiangping's matter has made you feel a little embarrassed. Promise me to leave this matter to me, and you don't need to worry about it." Rong Zhen assured her and said seriously. Gu Yunru gradually felt relieved. A few days later, another restaurant on East Street officially opened. Rong Zhen also specially invited Xiangping to be the chef there. The business was booming, and customers came in an endless stream, almost tearing down the threshold of the lobby.

"Xiangping, Wanchunlou is short of staff, why don't you stay here and be the chef." Rong Zhen walked up to her directly and told her to stay in Wanchunlou. Wanchunlou was a newly opened restaurant on East Street, but due to Xiangping's arrival, the business seemed to be many times better than he expected, and this was all thanks to Xiangping alone.

Xiangping was making a lot of noise in the kitchen and couldn't hear what Rong Zhen was saying clearly. When she noticed what was happening, she finally reacted and the smile on her face quickly disappeared.

"Brother, you mean that you hope I won't go back to Huajianlou in the future?" Xiangping looked at him uncertainly, his eyes full of doubts.

"Of course you can come back to Huajianlou in the future, but Wanchunlou is a new restaurant that has just opened. I hope you can work hard here..." Rong Zhen said with evasive eyes. It seems that his wife was right. He was indeed not suitable for lying. Once he lied, his tone would become low, which was an obvious manifestation of guilt.

"I understand. You opened Wanchunlou just because you don't want me to go back to Huajianlou, right? You can just say it directly. Why do you have to go through such a big detour?"

Xiang Ping, who knew the truth, wanted to cry but had no tears. She took off the apron tied around her waist. Rong Zhen looked at her actions and quickly stopped her and asked, "What are you going to do?"

"Of course we should leave here. The farther away the better. This way, we won't cause trouble for you and sister-in-law." Xiang Ping shrugged her shoulders and looked calm, but these words hurt Rong Zhen's heart. How could she just leave Wanchun Tower as if nothing had happened?

"Xiangping, if there is anything that our husband and I have done imprudently, just tell us directly." Rong Zhen felt deeply guilty towards her and only hoped to make her happier. It was really a dilemma as he had to make both his wife and his adopted sister happy.

"Nothing. In fact, you should have told me that my sister-in-law didn't want me to stay in Huajianlou. Staying in Huajianlou would only make things difficult for the two of you. If that's the case, why did we do it in the first place?"

Xiangping's bitter smile made Rong Zhen feel even more deeply guilty.

"Xiangping, please don't leave. I know I was too self-righteous and didn't consider your feelings. But don't worry, if you want to go back to Huajianlou, go back. I will never stop you again."

"Really? My sworn brother is the best!" Xiangping excitedly leaned on his shoulder and kissed him on the cheek secretly when he was not paying attention. This scene happened to be seen by Shu'er who was passing by. After seeing this scene, Shu'er immediately went to Huajianlou to report the news.

"Really? I saw it clearly. Xiang Ping was so passionate that she kissed him directly. I don't know what happened afterwards. Tell me, if the prince continues to be with this little vixen, wouldn't they end up in bed?"

When Shu'er said these sensational words, Gu Yunru was shocked and stunned. She didn't come back to her senses for a long time. Shu'er thought that her aunt was stupid and stretched out her hand and waved in front of her.

"Aunt, now is not the time for you to play dumb. Your love rival has come to your doorstep, but you are indifferent. Why don't you put some poison on Xiang Ping to make her stay away from the prince, and then you don't have to worry about these things anymore."

Shu'er whispered in her ear, but Gu Yunru shook her head seriously and said, "No, Gu is harmful. Since the Gu business ended, the court has issued an order to ban people from practicing Gu again. I can't risk my life again. You know the consequences of giving you the Dead Heart Gu last time."

Shu'er became even more excited when she heard this, "It is because the loyalty poison works, so you might as well transfer Xiangping's love to someone else.

Didn't you notice that she sticks to the prince every day and takes him with her when picking mushrooms? She usually goes to the back mountain alone, but this time she became petite and weak. If this is not intentional, what is it? You are too soft-hearted. This is called inviting a wolf into the house!"

Gu Yunru held the small porcelain wine glass in her hand and felt that what she said made sense. Perhaps she was too soft-hearted, which was why she indulged Xiang Ping again and again.

If Xiangping has not given up her thoughts on Rong Zhen, even if a hundred more Huajianlou are opened, it will not be possible to divert Xiangping's attention.

And this time Xiang Ping used the same trick again, wasn't it just to intimidate her? Thinking of this, she couldn't help but remember it in her mind, and her eyes flashed sharply.

"Aunt, do you have an idea?" Shu'er was so excited that she even stamped her toes. She just wanted to see if her aunt could cast the curse again. This time the target was Xiangping. Gu Yunru had come up with a brilliant idea, but it was not easy to cast the curse on Xiangping.

Xiangping has a keen sense of smell for these dishes. If something is added to them that changes the taste, she will be the first to notice it.

"aunt?"

Shu'er snapped her fingers gently in front of her, and finally brought her soul back. Seeing her look like she was out of her mind just now, she thought someone had taken her soul away. "Aunt, what do you want? What kind of poison should I use? It would be best if Xiangping could transfer his love to someone else. It doesn't matter who it is, as long as he doesn't pester Rong Zhen again."

"I understand. I will handle this matter by myself. You just pretend that you know nothing. I don't want you to be involved in this matter. Do you understand?" Gu Yunru held Shu'er's hand and said earnestly. Seeing the excitement in Shu'er's eyes, he knew that she had been waiting for this good show for a long time.

"Sister and Princess, you are all here. Our team has packed up and is ready to return to the capital immediately!"

Wu Liang walked into Huajianlou exhausted and said goodbye to the two of them solemnly. He looked around and saw that there was no one else in the room.

"Brother, are you sure you won't stay for a while longer? We finally meet again, and you just leave like that." Gu Yunru looked at Wu Liang reluctantly. She would feel disappointed if this witty and humorous brother didn't stay for a few more days.
