Chapter 645: Pain So Intense, I Don't Even Know My Own

xiety.A burning desire for power, a yearning to stand out from the crowd!Next door, Li Laosi said a few words to the Lord and went back.Leaving Jia Yin sitting in her adoptive father's arms, she whisp...Jia Yin’s heart was preoccupied with her younger brothers who had gone south. She didn't notice Peng Zhuangui's change in expression and casually asked, "What's wrong Did Baozhu come to play and get upset because I wasn't there"

"No, Master," Peng Zhanggui led the guests into the house and had them sit down in the back garden.

He then whispered, "Master, the other day someone came to the shop and wanted to buy the recipe for Baiyun Gao for only one hundred taels of silver! Of course, I couldn't agree. I said that you weren't here and couldn't make the decision."

"The man said he was the steward of the Long Princess's Mansion and sincerely wanted to buy the recipe. We sell our recipes in hopes that it will bring us good fortune..."

In short, master, this man is very rude. I kept refusing him, and when he left, his face was bad. He urged me to go find you and explain things quickly.

Both Li Laotai and Tao Hongying frowned, very displeased.

The shop was set up by the little fat girl at home. She put a lot of effort into everything, from the renovation to figuring out the dessert recipes.

Suddenly, someone came running up and demanded the recipe for mooncakes, offering only one hundred taels! What's the difference between that and robbery!

What a huge dog face!

Jia Yin was not happy either. No matter her past or present life, her biggest flaw was being possessive of food.

If she doesn't give it willingly, no one else should even think of taking a single thing from her!

Having the emperor's backing, she initially thought no one would dare to challenge her. Unexpectedly, there were indeed some reckless individuals!

"Is the Long Princess the Emperor's sister Should we send someone to ask the Hou Manor head steward, to see if there's any movement in the Hou Manor We also need to be on guard, is it possible that the manager is hiding something from his master and trying to seize power through trickery!" Li Laotai endured her anger and whispered instructions to her granddaughter.

Tao Hongying also chimed in, “Even back home, there were servants who would secretly impose extra taxes on the people, but the county magistrate was oblivious. I imagine when a family becomes prosperous, there will always be some servants who take advantage of their position.”

Jia Yin had no recollection of this princess. It seemed like the Houfu's New Year greetings didn't include this family.

Just to be safe, she still called Shui Ling forward and explained a few things carefully.

When Shui Ling had left for Hou's Mansion, Jia Yin went to the kitchen to take a look.

Chen Xishi is truly gifted with nimble hands. He has made his decorated cakes incredibly intricate and delicate.

Jia Yin wanted to add some new products and told Chen Xi about the methods and general appearance of making pastries like cream puffs and bread.

Although the ingredients here in Tianwu are certainly not as complete as those from her past life, Jia Yin would never underestimate the ingenuity of the working people.

Besides, she didn't expect Chen Xi and the others to figure it out immediately. She just wanted to give them a direction and let them have a goal to strive for.

Soon, Shuiling returned to the Hou Mansion.

She probably left in a hurry, her face flushed. After taking a sip of water, she said, "Miss, the steward said that this princess is the Emperor's sister, but not a mother figure. She receives imperial favor every day. And she is almost fifty years old. She lost her husband early and has a son and daughter who are both incompetent."

The Long Princess was very low-key in her daily life, rarely socializing with anyone. However, she owned a vast amount of property and her businesses were widespread. Nine Lotus Pavilion in this city belongs to the princess's estate!

No wonder!

It turned out that the business was affected, and he couldn't stand looking at the clouds in the sky anymore.

That official had previously come to buy the land at a low price, just to probe Li's family's attitude.

If the Li family were afraid and intimidated by the reputation of the Princess's Manor, they would give up the recipe, and then this business would be snatched away.

Jia Yin sneered and instructed Peng Zhanggui, "If anyone from the Princess's Mansion comes again, tell them that our shop doesn't sell the recipe. If they dare to speak disrespectfully, just drive them out!"

"Yes, sir," Peng Zhanggui felt reassured and his face brightened considerably.

Seeing that everything was fine here, Jia Yin was about to go home with her grandmother and mother.

Li Laosan and Zhao Yuru missed the academy canteen, and they also wanted to rush back to Lu'an as soon as possible.

Jia Yin instructed Peng, the shop manager, to bring them some more small cakes and snacks.

Just a short while after the carriage had been sent off, a young man from ahead suddenly ran up to report, "Master, shopkeeper, Zhang the manager came back again yesterday."

Mr. Zhang

Jia Yin was puzzled, and Peng, the shopkeeper, hurriedly explained: “It’s the steward from the princess's manor, who wants to buy the recipe.”

Before Jia Yin could even give an order, a stout stranger had already burst into the backyard, shouting: "Master Peng, what on earth is going on"

"How many days have passed, and will you finally give me an explanation! It's just a recipe, are you treating it like gold..."

As a result, as soon as he looked up, he saw many people in the yard. Besides Pengzhuang and Chenxi, the rest were unfamiliar.

He wasn't a fool either. Just from the way the Li family dressed, he could tell something was up.

But he pretended to be stupid and continued to say nonchalantly, "Wow, there are quite a lot of people here! Business is booming! Are you going to entertain guests in the backyard Aren't you afraid they'll steal your recipes! In my opinion, it's best to just sell them to me!"

The Li family's faces darkened, and Jia Yin was instantly enraged. She shouted, "Be audacious! Seize them!"

Shuiling's eyes widened at once, and upon hearing her master's command, she rushed over like a little leopard, kicking Zhang Guanxi to the ground with one foot.

Manager Zhang was fleshy all over, but when he fell, every part of his body hurt!

He let out a scream and tried to get up, but Shui Ling had already jumped onto his back and landed heavily several times.

Zhang the manager was stepped on so hard he almost vomited up last night's stale rice.

"Who the hell are you This is our Li family's shop, not your backyard! You want to come in, just come! Beat him up, beat him until he uses those two balls on his face as eyeballs!" Jia Yin didn't show any mercy at all. She was determined to teach this dog a lesson.

If she were here herself, she would find it amusing enough to pass the time and even have the heart to practice some mind games with this person.

But with grandma and her mother present, she could be looked down upon, but the family members absolutely couldn't be underestimated!

Today, Ye Shan was in charge of the carriage, with Shui Ling and Grandma He attending to him.

At this moment, Old Madam He was unable to move, Shui Ling had already taken the lead, leaving only Ye Shan.

He has followed the Marquis for many years, his skills are definitely not bad.

He motioned Shui Ling to step aside, grabbed the manager's collar, lifted him up, and slapped him several times.

Zhang Guanxi's teeth were like corn kernels, immediately clattering out, his cheeks puffed up like dough in an oven, swelling to twice their size...

Zhang the manager had already been beaten quite senseless by Shui Ling, and now he was dizzy and in pain, not even knowing his own name!

Where is something wrong

Shouldn't it be the Li family asking who he was He just reported his affiliation with the Princess's Mansion, bowed slightly, and apologized before passing by

Even if the Li family doesn't sell the recipe, they wouldn't dare to hit him directly, would they!

But the reality is, before the big show even started, he was beaten to a pulp!

"Wooo, Your Highness, please spare me! I'm from the Princess Manor, you can't hit me!" He was furious inside, struggling to get up, wanting to wave the flag for protection.

Unfortunately, Mount Leaf wouldn't buy it. He shouted, "You only know to call her County Princess now Back then you pretended to be ignorant! Who gave you the guts to insult our County Princess!"

If the courtyard wasn't paved with stones, this would definitely leave a human-shaped imprint, probably with two pits on the chest!

This man, one can only imagine how much good food he's eaten. As a man, the fullness below his neck would shame even a woman to see it.

People cast their eyes away in disgust, unwilling to look at it any longer…t ease like us common folk."The Lord laughed when he heard this.Although the Li family is now a newly established noble family in Tianwu, they are not considered a small or humble family. However, the...
