Now that Zhao Di could think things through, Xu Lanzhi felt relieved. This child was finally able to cope a little. If she hadn't been able to think things through, no amount of persuasion would have helped.
It's a good thing that Zhao Di is now focused on the restaurant. Xu Lanzhi just hopes that this matter can fade from everyone's sight as soon as possible.
Because it was widely rumored that the proprietress of Juxianlou was exceptionally beautiful and had superb culinary skills, which led to a fight between the two young masters, many people came to visit, which was more effective than deliberate advertising.
The Tang family originally thought the matter was over.
Since that day, Lu Tianyu hasn't come for several days. Zhao Di felt somewhat disappointed, but thinking about the gap between herself and him, she felt relieved.
Liu Rufeng was quite angry. He and Sun Zhiyuan were childhood friends. Usually, no matter how unreliable Sun Zhiyuan was, his persuasion was useless, so he just turned a blind eye.

This time, however, he was truly angry. He launched into a tirade against Sun Zhiyuan, yelling, "Sun Zhiyuan, are you out of your mind? Why did you provoke Lu Tianyu? How could you lay a hand on him in Zhao Di's restaurant?"
Sun Zhiyuan was completely unaware of the grave mistake he had made, and said smugly, "I just couldn't stand Lu Tianyu's shameless behavior. The messenger I sent said that the kid hasn't been to Zhao Di for several days. This time, I've finally got him under control!"
Liu Rufeng was furious: "You still know to send someone to check, but haven't you reflected on how much trouble you've caused Zhaodi?"
Sun Zhiyuan said dismissively, "Her business hasn't been affected at all. I heard her shop is even busier!"
Liu Rufeng angrily turned and left: "Go and listen to what people outside are saying about Zhaodi. Don't ever say I'm your friend again!"
Sun Zhiyuan was used to being carefree and had never really thought about what others would say about Zhaodi. But after Liu Rufeng reminded him, Sun Zhiyuan finally went to find out what people outside were saying.
People are saying that the proprietress of Juxianlou caused the two young masters to fight. Now, neither of them comes to the restaurant anymore, probably because they've seen through her two-timing scheme. Now, they've lost everything.
There were even harsher things said. Only then did Sun Zhiyuan understand why Liu Rufeng was so angry. He had acted impulsively, causing Zhao Di to be misunderstood like this.
Only now did he realize he was worthless; a young woman like him cares most about her reputation.
But what's done is done, and it's too late to regret it now. After much thought, Sun Zhiyuan realized that there was only one way to make the rumors disappear on their own, while also fulfilling his own desires.

However, this matter is neither a big deal nor a small one; it still requires Madam Sun's permission.
Having come up with an excuse, Sun Zhiyuan went directly to his mother, Old Madam Sun.
As Madam Sun was reclining on the couch to rest, Sun Zhiyuan said ingratiatingly, "Mother, let me give you a massage!"
Madam Sun immediately frowned and said, "Speak! What mischief are you plotting now? Don't put on an act for me!"
Sun Zhiyuan said earnestly, "Mother, I just came to pay my respects. What are you thinking?"
Old Madam Sun spat and said, "The moment you lift your butt, I know what kind of shit you're going to take. Have you gotten into trouble again?"
Sun Zhiyuan said with a grin, "How could that be, Mother? Can't you wish me well for once?"
Without even lifting her eyelids, Madam Sun asked, "So the story about fighting with that Lu family boy over a girl is just hearsay?"
Sun Zhiyuan smiled and said, "Mother, as expected, nothing can be hidden from you. But this isn't for any girl; it's for the sake of our Sun family!"
Sun Zhiyuan, quick-witted as ever, said, "Mother, I originally wanted to go out to eat that day, but that brat surnamed Lu said that our family has fallen on hard times and we're not even worthy to carry their shoes. I was so angry that I got into a fight with him!"

Upon hearing this, Madam Sun had Zhang Ma help her sit up and said, "Is that so? That Lu family brat is so arrogant!"
“That’s right. He even told Zhao Di that all the women he was interested in would be proud to marry into the Lu family, and that our Sun family…” Sun Zhiyuan stopped there.
The less he said, the more curious Madam Sun became. She pressed him for an answer: "Tell me what's wrong with our Sun family?"
Sun Zhiyuan then dodged the question, saying, "It's nothing, it's nothing, let's just not take it seriously!"
"Tell me, what exactly did that boy say?" Old Madam Sun was furious!
Sun Zhiyuan said with a sad expression, "Madam, you're just listening to it casually, please don't get angry, it's not worth getting upset!"
Old Madam Sun grabbed a cushion and was about to throw it at him, yelling, "Stop keeping me in suspense! If you don't tell me, I'll beat you to death!"
Sun Zhiyuan was so frightened that her legs went weak. She hurriedly said, "He said that our Sun family is cursed and destined to have only one son. If you marry into the Sun family, you will not be able to have a son!"
Madam Sun was so angry that she jumped off the bed and cursed, "What a load of bull! The son of a nouveau riche dares to be so arrogant! Let's go to the Lu residence and settle accounts with that brat. His father can't control him, but I will teach him a lesson!"
Sun Zhiyuan quickly stopped her, saying, "Mother, if we go to the Lu residence like this, that boy will definitely not agree. He insists that he never said that, and there's nothing we can do about it!"

Madam Sun said angrily, "That brat from the Lu family has been defecating on our heads, we can't just let it go like this!"
Sun Zhiyuan said, "I have a way to restore the Sun family's reputation without having to go to the Lu residence!"
Madam Sun asked curiously, "What method is it? Tell me about it!"
Sun Zhiyuan said, "I'll just marry Zhaodi and have a few big, healthy sons with her. That will dispel the rumors and give that Lu family brat a good scare!"
Madam Sun frowned as she listened: "What kind of method is this!"
Sun Zhiyuan explained, "The nonsense that Lu family kid said has actually been circulating outside for a long time, but others just don't dare to say it. Only if our family has a few more children can we quell the rumors."
"That young man from the Lu family has long coveted Zhao Di. If I marry her first, I can crush the Lu family's arrogance and show the people of Huaiyuan who the true leading family of Huaiyuan is!"
Madam Sun felt that what Sun Zhiyuan said made a lot of sense, but what she cared about most was that this boy finally wanted to take concubines again. The three women in the family were all getting thinner and thinner, and it seemed that there was no hope for them!
She asked, "Which family does this Zhao Di girl you mentioned belong to? Is her family background respectable?"
Sun Zhiyuan quickly said, "This Zhaodi is the eldest daughter of the Tang family in Tangjiagou!"

Upon hearing the name of the Tang family, Madam Sun's face instantly darkened. She said unhappily, "Why marry a girl from the Tang family of all people? Let's just forget about it!"
Sun Zhiyuan panicked: "Mother, it's not that I insist on marrying the Tang family's daughter, but that our Sun family absolutely must marry Zhao Di!"
Madam Sun's personal maid, Zhang Ma, asked, "Young Master, why is it that the Sun family insists on marrying her? It's obvious that the old lady is unhappy about it!"
Sun Zhiyuan pounded on his mother's leg and said, "Mother, that boy from the Lu family said in front of all the guests at Juxianlou that our family can't produce a son and that Zhaodi should marry him. If I marry someone else, who knows what everyone will say."
"I'm determined to marry Zhao Di, just to spite that brat Lu Tianyu!"
Old Madam Sun didn't listen to his nonsense. Suddenly, Zhang Ma remembered something and whispered a few words to Old Madam Sun. Old Madam Sun said, "You go out first, let me think about it!"
Seeing his mother's expression, Sun Zhiyuan knew that the matter was probably settled, so he said, "Then Mother, you can think about it slowly. Anyway, I'm not in a hurry. If Zhaodi is married off to Lu Tianyu, I can still marry someone else!"
As soon as Sun Zhiyuan left, Madam Sun said to Zhang Ma, "You've reminded me. Although Haotian is still young, he's very stubborn. Right now, he can't stop talking about Tang Qiqi. And Tang Qiqi is a formidable character. If Haotian continues like this in the future, our Sun family's business will be in the Tang family's hands."
Aunt Zhang said, "That's right. We can't control Tang Qiqi now. When she gets older, she'll be even more lawless."
If the young master were to marry her older sister as a concubine, Tang Qiqi would become the young master Haotian's aunt, and nothing could happen to her.

Moreover, the Tang family was originally a scholarly family; the girl is tough and strong, making it easy for her to bear children!
After thinking for a moment, Madam Sun said, "That makes sense. Although taking their daughter as a concubine would elevate them, it's still a solution. Let's do it this way!"
