Chapter 419: Chapter 419: Someone’s Causing Trouble

Fortunately, the Yang Family’s residence in the capital had already been tidied up, and Yang Xuan had somewhere to go.

"How could my cousin treat me like this, and my aunt too? She clearly promised in front of my father and mother that she would definitely marry me off to my cousin!"

Every time Yang Xuan thought about Empress Consort Yang Shu’s attitude in the palace, she couldn’t help but complain again.

In front of Ye Yunting, Empress Consort Yang Shu didn’t speak a word in her defense.

Even when she was kicked out of the War King Residence by Ye Yunting, she remained completely silent!

"Mother was right after all, my cousin is my aunt’s own son, no matter what, the aunt would certainly favor him."

Having experienced these past events, Yang Xuan also lost the expectations she had upon arriving in the capital.

Initially, Empress Consort Yang Shu had clearly assured her in front of her parents, but now it seemed that Ye Yunting didn’t completely follow her arrangements.

She would still need to write a letter back home and ask her father and mother to think of another solution.

"And that Chu Nanli, already divorced, why is she still thinking of clinging to my cousin all day long!"

At this moment, Yang Xuan felt that she had truly underestimated Chu Nanli.

She initially thought, since Chu Nanli was already divorced from my cousin, she wouldn’t pose any threat to her in the future.

Not to mention, she was carrying an illegitimate child of unknown origin in her womb.

Even if she thought of returning, the Empress Dowager and His Majesty would definitely not allow that illegitimate child to live!

But what she did not expect was that Chu Nanli could be so shameless.

Since they were already divorced, why must she continue such pretense?

The maidservant attending to Yang Xuan cautiously spoke up, "Miss, you aren’t planning to do something again, are you?"

Before coming to the capital, the master and madam had instructed her to persuade the miss to avoid doing anything foolish.

But the master and madam hadn’t considered that with such a temperament, the miss was uncontrollable at home.

Now, away from the elders, wouldn’t she be even more unruly?

How could they, the attendants, manage to restrain or dissuade her?

Yang Xuan immediately spoke irritably, "How so, I am not planning to lay a hand on that woman Lin Fuying!"

"She, Chu Nanli, is just an orphan of unknown origin, am I, the illustrious Yang Family, supposed to be afraid of her?"

Although the Yang Family had not developed in the capital in recent years, their heritage as a major clan still remained.

Otherwise, Empress Consort Yang Shu wouldn’t have had the confidence to aspire for that position for her son.

"But miss..."

"Enough, stop talking nonsense. If you dare to obstruct me again, I will sell you off tomorrow!"

Yang Xuan was already a spoiled young lady, and now, seeing the maid’s intention to stop her, her face immediately darkened.

It was clear that if the maid said one more word, she was ready to act immediately.

The maid was so frightened that she dare not continue speaking.

A malicious glint flashed in Yang Xuan’s eyes, and she waved the maid over, quickly starting to give orders.

...

Yang Xuan was truly spoiled too much by the Yang Family, to the extent that before taking action, she hadn’t even gathered detailed information about Chu Nanli.

She hadn’t considered that if Chu Nanli had no capabilities, how could she have secured a foothold in the capital?

In the end, she was too arrogant and conceited.

After she found out that there was a hot pot restaurant under Chu Nanli’s name, she quickly devised a plan.

On the monthly days off, the business at the restaurant was particularly booming.

Thus, during these two days, Chu Nanli would make a point of visiting the restaurant.

It was to prevent those with ulterior motives from coveting the restaurant’s business, deliberately using the crowd as cover to engage in sneaky maneuvers.

On the other hand, it was also to check if there were any areas within the store that needed improvement.

After all, Mengmeng was managing alone here on regular days and would certainly have encountered many inconveniences.

Now that Chu Nanli’s pregnancy was advanced, many activities became inconvenient for her to manage personally, so she just sat in the store and left the rest of the tasks to Chu Yi.

Having been by her side for so long, Chu Yi had long been capable of handling things on his own.

Today, as she and Chu Yi came over, Chu Nanli simply gave Mengmeng the day off to let her rest for half a day.

He first circled the floor in accordance with what Chu Nanli had said and did not spot any issues.

Just as he was about to report back to Chu Nanli, he suddenly heard a commotion from the first floor.

"Is this how you treat your customers? There’s dirt in this food, and you serve it directly to the customers?"

A harsh and unpleasant voice suddenly attracted the attention of many customers.

Chu Yi paused in his step, recalling the teachings of Chu Nanli from regular days, and decided not to rush forward but to calmly observe the situation.

The man who spoke was older with narrow, slanted eyes and heavy brows, clearly not a good-natured person.

He spoke harshly to the waiter, "Let me tell you, if I find any issue with the food here today, don’t expect your shop to continue operating!"

The waiter was frightened by his menacing demeanor but still tried to maintain his composure and continued to explain.

"Esteemed guest, you witnessed yourself when the food was served, how could there be an issue?"

"I don’t care! If you can’t produce eight hundred silver pieces today, don’t expect to have an easy time!"

The man gave a significant look to a thin man standing next to him, who screamed and quickly collapsed.

He clutched his stomach while wailing and rolling on the ground.

"Help, I’m dying! The food at this restaurant is killing people!"

The narrow-eyed man did not wait for the waiter to react and directly flipped the dishes on the table to the ground.

Indeed, there were quite a few dirty things inside.

Snakes, insects, rats, and ants were among them, enough to turn one’s stomach.

"Could it be that the dishes we just ate also contained these things?"

"Had we known this, we wouldn’t have specially come here to dine!"

"Where’s the manager? Hurry up and get the manager out here and refund our silver!"

Once the mood of these diners was stirred up, it became somewhat difficult to handle in the moment.

If Chu Yi truly had no experience, he might have really been at a loss right now.

The noise from downstairs naturally reached the room upstairs as well.

"Master," Yanyan looked toward the first floor, unable to hide her concern, "It seems there is a quarrel downstairs, shall I go check on it for you?"

The reason she said this was also out of fear that Chu Nanli might impulsively insist on checking the situation downstairs herself.

If something went wrong then, that would be truly regrettable.

"Don’t worry, I have no plans to go down."

Chu Nanli looked at her with a somewhat amused gaze.

In these days, everyone around her seemed more nervous than the other.

It got to the point where she herself felt nothing.

"With Chu Yi down there, if it’s just people coming to cause trouble, he should be able to handle it."

Chu Nanli was still quite confident in Chu Yi.

After all, Chu Yi was inherently clever, and if not for his family’s decline, he might have already become the top scholar by now.

With his talents, having him handle miscellaneous affairs by her side seemed somewhat regrettable.
