Chapter 213: Feeling Uneasy
Chapter 213: Feeling Uneasy
Xi Yu narrowed her eyes slightly, and her eyes, which were originally as calm as water, suddenly became sharp, "Bribed? Can you find out who it was? Do you have an enemy, or did Zhenxiu Pavilion offend someone?"
Shopkeeper Sun waved his hands hastily, and said in horror: "No, no, I am a cautious and kind person, and I have never had any enemies. The business of Zhenxiu Pavilion..."
Speaking of this, he lowered his head guiltily, and his voice became lower and lower.
"Business has always been tepid, and it does not pose any threat to its peers. The group said that the man who sent them the money was wearing a hat, which covered his head tightly, and it was obvious that he did not want to reveal his identity."
That means I have absolutely no idea.
Xiyu pursed her lips. The other party was deliberately making trouble. What was his purpose?
She definitely wasn’t after money and she had no grudges… She had never shown up in Zhenxiu Pavilion, and no one except the shopkeeper knew that she was the boss.
It’s really confusing.
There are too few clues. It's better to leave this brain-twisting matter to the government to investigate.
Xiyu shook off the tangled thoughts in her mind and said, "You go back first, and tell the cook to hurry up and learn faster."
"The doctor must be reliable. If something goes wrong with the medicinal food, it can be more serious than ordinary food."
She didn't mean to scare people. Although medicated food is mainly for food supplements, it does have medicinal properties after all.
"Yes, I understand. We must be cautious of dangers in everything."
…………
The weather is getting hotter day by day, and busy days always go by quickly.
After solving the problem of menu innovation, Manager Sun's abilities were fully revealed and the business of Zhenxiu Pavilion improved significantly.
Although the initial investment was relatively large, seeing the daily income, Xiyu felt that the payback would be within two days.
At the same time, another restaurant on the same street as Zhenxiu Pavilion was suddenly involved in a murder case and closed down.
The store was soon sold at a low price, and it was said that the new owner wanted to use it to open a casino.
"Is it because of food poisoning again?"
Xiyu felt that these two things were really coincidental.
A light bulb suddenly lit up in her head, and she suddenly understood the intention of the person behind the scenes - he wanted to take over the Zhenxiu Pavilion shop at a low price.
The Zhenxiuge shop is the largest and best located on this street, so the other party must have had this in mind.
But the person whose life he bought before was unreliable, so he lost the opportunity, so he had to settle for the second best and used the same strategy to easily take over another restaurant.
It's really a case of harming others for one's own benefit. In the eyes of the people behind the scenes, human life is worthless.
But it's none of my business, so I'll just ignore it.
After living in the palace for a year, she had already learned to be a little cold-hearted.
Xiyu took off her armor, lifted Honghui's face with her fingertips, and pinched it gently twice.
The delicate and smooth touch made her feel much better.
"Woo~"
Ling Jiao lay on her back on the bed, her lotus-like legs kicked the quilt twice, her pink mouth pouted, her big grape-like eyes stared at her mother, "Ah~"
Xiyu's attention was drawn over, and he touched her little face evenly, with a smile on his face.
In mid-May, she received a letter from Yinzhen from Yinan.
The letter said that when he arrived at the disaster-stricken area, the flood had already receded, but the local refugees were rioting and almost took over the government office.
They brought a large number of troops to escort the relief supplies.
The original intention was to prevent encountering bandits who would rob us on the road, but unexpectedly the journey was very peaceful, so when we arrived at the place, we had a fight with the people first.
Fortunately, relief supplies arrived in time, and Yinzhen promised that bygones would be forgiven, so the people finally put down their hands.
Yinzhen said that he only suffered some minor injuries from bumps and bruises, and they have healed much better after applying medicine.
But in fact, in order to gain the trust of the people, he always rushed to the front when something happened, and he was seriously injured in his arm and almost got infected.
Fortunately, Xiyu's ointment was very effective and prevented the wound from getting worse.
But Xiyu didn't know all this.
At the end of the letter, she was asked about the recent situation of her and her two children.
Xiyu read out what was written in the letter to Honghui and Lingjiao word by word, then kissed their cheeks one by one to express Yinzhen's love for the two children.
She thought for a moment, then returned to the table, picked up a pen, and began to write about her recent situation. The two little kids were very smart and could already roll over...
The letter was very thick and contained only some daily matters.
In mid-June, Yinzhen sent another letter back.
Although they provided disaster relief and dealt with the bodies of the injured and dead as soon as they arrived, the weather became increasingly humid and hot after the flood, and the humid and moist environment was a breeding ground for the virus.
Despite all the precautions, the plague still broke out.
Fortunately, they were well prepared and had experience, and with the effective plan from last year, they controlled the spread of the disease as quickly as possible.
At the end of the letter, there are words: "I'm fine."
Xiyu pursed her lips, grabbed Lingjiao's collar without looking away, and carried her from the bedside back into the bed.
The two little guys are growing very fast, so there needs to be someone around them all the time, otherwise they will crawl away somewhere if you’re not paying attention.
The little ones had grown teeth, so she would occasionally give them a snack of fruit custard.
While Xiyu was writing the letter, she glanced at the white and tender girl who was drooling due to teething, and calmly took out a handkerchief to wipe it.
…………
Early July.
This time the letter was delivered very early. Yinzhen said that everything in the four cities of Yinan, Taiyuan were on track and they could return that day.
Xiyu replied to the letter as usual, but never received a reply.
Early in the morning of July 15th.
From the moment Xiyu opened her eyes, she had been feeling uneasy.
I can’t describe the feeling, but I always feel something is not normal and I feel uneasy.
She looked absent-minded the whole day.
