Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
This was the first time Ning Fengnian saw his second brother’s gaze. It was as if he was not his biological brother but an irreconcilable enemy. Although Second Uncle Ning retracted his gaze in an instant, Ning Fengnian was still shocked speechless.
Wang Biao wasn’t willing to tolerate Second Uncle Ning’s shameless behavior. “Don’t stall for time. Either give me the recipe or the silver. If you can’t take out the silver… According to the rules of the underworld, if you don’t return the money you owe, I’ll break one of your fingers first!”
Second Uncle Ning hurriedly put on a pitiful expression. “Brother, please save me. I was muddle-headed and imitated your family’s business. In the end, 1 even messed it up. Just take out the recipe and save me!”
“If I don’t give the Heavenly Fragrance Restaurant an explanation today, they won’t let me off!”
However, Xiaoxiao looked unconvinced. “But you can clearly make bamboo shoots that taste good. Didn’t the shopkeeper try them?”
Second Uncle Ning gritted his teeth and told them everything. “I took your bamboo shoots for him to try. Erlang and Dalang should remember that I bought them at your stall the day 1 went to the county!”
Without thinking, Er Lang added, “You didn’t pay for them!”
The villagers were silent and marveled at Second Uncle Ning’s shamelessness.
Xiaoxiao was very satisfied with the effect today and even made a tidy statement. “So, Second Uncle, you lied to us and said that Grandpa and Grandma like to eat, so you moved a whole jar of bamboo shoots back from my house. Then, you secretly learned how to pickle bamboo shoots and said that you created them yourself and sold them to the county at a low price, causing my family’s bamboo shoots to be unsold now. Now that you’ve caused trouble, you still want my family to take out our money-making recipe to repay your debts?”
The villagers whispered to each other, making everyone in the old residence lose face.
Xiaoxiao embarrassed the old residence for a while before asking with a straight face, “Is this also what Grandpa and Grandma want?”
Old Madam Ning wished she could dig a hole and hide in it too early. She hated her second son for confessing everything without thinking, but she was even more dissatisfied with Xiaoxiao for pulling off the cover of the old residence and letting everyone see their true colors.
However, Wang Biao’s ruthlessness just now was still vivid in her mind. Her second son was still in their hands, so she put on a miserable expression. “Fengnian, are you really going to be heartless and ignore us? Have you forgotten the kindness 1 worked so hard to bring you up?”
Ning Fengnian’s lips had just moved when he saw another person walk in from outside the courtyard.
The person who came was a well-dressed and dignified woman. She sized up Madam Song. “You’re Song Qiuwan, the one who embroidered for our Ruyi Clothing Shop?”
Madam Song didn’t know who it was, but she still bowed when she heard her question. “It’s me.”
The person rolled her eyes with an extremely dissatisfied expression. “Very good, I’m looking for you!”
Madam Song was puzzled. She turned around and invited the woman into the house. The latter glanced at the Ning Family’s mess and took out two handkerchiefs from her arms. She stood there and asked, “Do you recognize this?”
Madam Song took a closer look and quickly nodded. “The one on the right is my embroidery. The other…”
Although they were very similar, the stitches were a little hasty, and the drawing was not perfect. It looked like it was made in a hurry, but it also looked like she was imitating it. She was sure that it was not her work. The woman shook her handkerchief. “You can tell too, right? The one on the left is a replica.”
Other than Xiaoxiao, no one noticed that Second Aunt Ning’s expression had been very unnatural ever since this woman took out the two handkerchiefs. When she heard the words “replica”, she couldn’t help but tremble.
At this moment, the woman began to introduce herself. “I’m the manager of the Ruyi Clothing Shop. The handkerchief in your right hand is the new designs released by our Ruyi Clothing Shop two days ago. The one on your left is the ‘new product’ released by the Peony Clothing Shop on the same day.. In this case, do you understand what I mean?”
