Chapter 878: Deal with her such that she knows the rules

This was how Professional recipes of food were, the smallest amount of mistake in the seasonings could cause big trouble. Something that no one would even fathom after all what could an extra pinch of cinnamon could do? Well, it could make the entire thing bitter but you do what you do right!

Experiment and experience was the key to making a perfect dish. One needed to fail and fail again before they could succeed.

Yu Fei was slightly discouraged when he heard that there was a problem with the seasoning but he was not willing to give up. He nodded and then said, " Thats fine. I will then try again."

When Su Wan heard his response she nodded and then turned to look at the rest of the chefs that were yet to pa.s.s and get their certificate. She then announced, " I have already told those who have pa.s.sed the test that the snack street is going to be opened next month. It was supposed to open this month but since many of you did not get the certificates, I decided to postpone the matter.

But now that most of the things have been settled, I need to open the snack street or else I will be troubled by the ministers."

When the chefs heard that they only had a month"s time, they could not help but worry.

Chef Li could not help but ask, " But we haven"t got our certificates yet."

Su Wan curled her lips in a smile and then stated slyly, " Then you all need to work hard to make sure that you will get your diploma by the next month?"

She threw down these earth-shattering words and then waved her hands before she walked away leaving countless people staring at her speechlessly.

Ahhhh!! She was really crazy and she was going to turn them crazy!

The chefs could not help but moan and whine. But Yu Fei on the other hand silently rolled his sleeves and started to experiment with the seasonings again, he did not believe that he would not be able to do it.

Su Wan did not bother with the chefs, she had her own troubles to deal with, she had asked her shadow guards to look around and finally found enough information on Old Madam Lai. It was nothing unusual, apart from the fact that she was able to marry the first master of the house because of her second sister, everything else about the Old Madam was considerably normal.

She was a woman who was smart enough to know her abilities and weaknesses. When she was in charge of the family, she was able to bring the Lai family to new heights but ever since the matters were handed to the third generation of the Lai family, everything had gone for the worse.

Though Qi Zhen was trying to maintain the momentum of the Lai family, with one bad decision after another, it was doomed to get beaten down.

From what she knew Old Madam Lai could have controlled the situation but she did not because her children did not listen to her pieces of advice and did not heed her words. Thus she could only watch the Lai family fall but from what the shadow guard told her, Old Madam Lai still had some skills left if she was not taken care of properly then she would be able to make a comeback very soon.

What was more she was someone who would not rest at ease now that Second Madam Lai had stirred trouble for them. However Su Wan was not scared, because sooner or later the Lai family would have found trouble with her given that Qi Zhen was with them.

Since they wanted to find trouble with her, she might as well start with them.

On the other side, Old Madam Lai was thinking deeply at the moment, she looked at Qi Zhen and her aides before instructing them, " Continue to monitor that woman for the time being. It"s best to create an opportunity for her husbands to lose their trust in her, in fact, it would be better if you could ruin her reputation at once."

She acted as if she was thinking about Su Wan and then continued to speak, " The Big Ocean City is not a place for a woman who came from the countryside to play around. It"s too complicated and full of bloodshed, how can she even deal with matters like such? It"s better for her to go back and live a life that is more suited for her ."

Since that woman was a businesswoman, she might as well stay in the village and then keep her business in mind and better not mess with the Big Ocean City or their family.

She could not manipulate Su Wan and she could not suppress her either as it could be seen that Su Wan was not someone who was going to give in just like that either, so it was better to end her once and for all.

She had to be ruthless and make sure that the obstacle that was hindering her family was taken care of.

Old Madam Lai turned to look at her trusted aide who nodded in response, " Understood Madam. You are thinking of the city and a poor woman who was thrown in trouble for her foolish actions."

Old Madam Lai nodded and then thought for a moment before saying, "It"s better if you deal with this matter in a way that you don"t leave any evidence behind it. Do things clearly and don"t let that woman or husbands find out lest they get a chance to retaliate or turn the situation around."

She knew that she could not push the Lai family out at this moment. The Emperor"s decree was a very serious matter in case that woman was really the Emperor"s person then she would be bringing bad luck to her family, for now, it was better to borrow someone else"s knife.

--------------------

If this woman was allowed to stay at the big ocean city then she would create great waves. Just in a few days, she had caused them to suffer a loss like this, again and again, Old Madam Lai could not act rashly with Su Wan.

If that woman really succeeded with her snack street then not only will she have a good reputation. She would even become a greater danger to their family. Thus, that woman named Su Wan cannot be allowed to stay here any more!

Old Madam Lai could not touch the snack street as all the officials including Pei Huai was keeping an eye on it. She wanted to ask her son-in-law if there was a chance to destroy that place but she knew that it was impossible even Lord Yan whose family had relations in the capital was keeping an eye on the situation of that street.

For the past few years, Lord Yan had never made a move on their family other than changing the magistrate was that Old Madam Lai and the rest of the Lai family did not directly affect the city but in case they made a move on the snack street, she had a feeling that Lord Yan would not stay quiet this time around.

Even Qi Zhen heaved a sigh of relief after hearing Old Madam Lai"s words. He was really upset with what Su Wan said and did with Lai Baihu, though that woman did not do anything to him, her actions contradicted him and it was clear that she was slapping him on his face.

How could he let her off just like that? He then looked at Old Madam Lai and said, " I believe that the reason that woman is so reckless is that her husbands are not manly enough to take reign of her. As long as there is someone who knows when to slap and when to kick, that woman will learn her lesson.

That way she would learn that the world was not her stage and there were certain laws that she needed to follow."

When he said that he thought of the letter that he had received a few weeks ago and pursed his lips tightly. Though he did not believe that an imperial concubine would actually write a letter to him the seal under that letter was indeed authorized.

It could be seen from that letter that the woman named Su Wan was really a big trouble.

What was more, he did not want Su Wan to get a stronger foothold in this city. It was better for her to stay at home locked up. So he needed to solve this trouble ahead of time.

He also did not want the commoners to get any better as he was afraid that they would start rebelling against their families. It was better if they stayed under their feet without any resistance.

Hence he reminded Old Madam Lai that she should take care of that woman and even make sure that she would never be able to get close to her husbands!

Old Madam Lai thought for a while and nodded before saying, " You are right. We need to break the vase once and for all if that woman had any chance left she would definitely come to cause trouble."

In the county magistrate"s house, Lin Rui had been following after Su Wan to finish the two kinds of books that were going to be sold in the publishing house.

After he was done with his writing he brought his books to Su Wan"s room.
