Chapter 104 Jiang Suining's Back-up Plan
Chapter 104 Jiang Suining's Back-up Plan
Jiang Mushi was stunned for a moment, "Could it be that Sister has a backup plan?"
Jiang Suining did not answer immediately, but looked at Zheng.
The latter met Jiang Suining's gaze, smiled bitterly and sighed.
"Sui Ning, it has come to this. The relationship between Zheng Yan'er and I as aunt and niece has ended. Whatever you want to do, just tell me directly. You don't have to consider me anymore."
Jiang Suining nodded, and then continued: "Zheng Yan'er is now full of resentment towards us. Even if we give her the money as she wishes, she may still make rumors and slander us when she returns home."
"Sui Ning is right. I think so too." Jiang Zhitong said.
Zheng Yan'er has a low character, and it is probably normal for her to go back on her word.
"So instead of waiting for her to come home and slander us, it's better to strike first. If my parents don't object, I'll have someone draw the patterns of those jewelry and ornaments, and then send someone to deliver the news to the Zheng family in advance. First, let them know what Zheng Yan'er did, so that they know why we sent her back. Second, along the way, we can search for the lost items of the Jiang family, especially around the Zheng family, and make a big noise so that the neighbors and clan relatives of the Zheng family will all know that the Jiang family has lost something."
Jiang Mushi's eyes lit up. "In this way, if people see Zheng Yan'er holding those things, they will think she stole them. She wants to slander us and throw dirty water on our Jiang family, but others may not believe it."
"That's right." Jiang Suining nodded. "Even if Zheng Yan'er tries her best to defend herself and say that these were gifts from the Jiang family, as long as there are doubts about the source of the things, her words will not be credible."
As for the Zheng family’s own people, Zheng Yan’er has a criminal record, so I’m afraid they will be even less trusting of Zheng Yan’er.
"This is a good idea!" Jiang Zhitong nodded and said, "Although it is a bit unkind, it is the best way to treat people like Zheng Yan'er."
Jiang Zhitong then looked at Jiang Suining and said, "It's a pity for the decorations in your courtyard. I will ask someone to send you more when the time comes."
Jiang Suining smiled, "Thank you, father. But don't feel sorry for it. The most valuable thing in it is the Jade Cabbage. But I accidentally knocked it over a few days ago and it cracked. Although it's hard to notice if you don't look closely, if I pawn it, the price will be greatly reduced."
Hearing Jiang Suining say this, Jiang Mushi felt even more relieved.
Jiang Suining looked at Zheng again, "Of course, mother, if you feel that this is inappropriate, then..."
"There's nothing wrong with that." Zheng shook her head, "Sui Ning, mother understands that you did this for me."
After Zheng Yan'er returned, even if she spread rumors to slander the Jiang family, the journey was long and it would not involve Sui Ning in the end.
But the Zheng family is her maternal home. Even if she can resist going back, her parents and ancestors are buried there, and she cannot possibly not go back to pay homage to them in this lifetime.
Sui Ning said that he did all this for the Jiang family, but in fact it was more to protect his own reputation and avoid being misunderstood.
She should be grateful to Sui Ning. How could she oppose and hinder him after he came up with a solution?
Looking at Zheng, Jiang Suining knew that she was speaking from the heart, so he did not hesitate or say anything more.
"Then I'll go draw those objects."
After Jiang Suining had finished drawing all the paintings, he handed them over to the person arranged by Jiang Zhitong, who quickly rode to the Zheng family.
At the same time, the people who were following secretly had already set off, chasing after Zheng Yan'er's carriage.
After doing all this, Jiang Suining arrived at Ningxiu Restaurant.
Although only one night had passed, the events of Jinfeng Tower yesterday had already spread throughout the imperial city.
Jiang Suining took advantage of the heated discussion and launched a tour of the kitchen.
The waiter leads the guests into the back kitchen, explaining in detail the vegetable washing and preparation area, the cooking area, and how to deal with leftovers.
It was also announced that in the next ten days, any guests dining at Ningxiu Restaurant who felt uneasy could enter the kitchen at any time to check. However, in order to ensure that the normal operation of the kitchen was not affected, only two people could enter each hour. Of course, in order to prevent stealing, the stay time could not be too long.
Although there are restrictions on the number of people and time, the fact that Ningxiuguan has the courage to set this rule is enough to show its confidence.
Since the second day after the visit, the number of customers at Ningxiu Restaurant has increased significantly, and business is better than before Jinfeng Tower opened.
Looking at the many diners upstairs and downstairs, Biyun spoke excitedly.
"Miss, with so many customers, even if we can't keep doing this forever, even if it lasts for seven or eight days, we should be able to make back the money we lost from temporarily closing the business!"
Seeing Biyun's eyes curved with laughter, Jiang Suining curled his lips and said, "Be more restrained. If your voice gets louder, the guests outside will be able to hear it."
"Isn't this a pleasure for you?"
This time, not only did they defeat Jinfeng Tower and drive away Zheng Yan'er, but their Ningxiu Restaurant did not suffer any losses. In fact, their reputation and business became better!
"Okay, I'm happy. It's up to you." Jiang Suining closed the account book in front of him, and said with a bit of pampering, "Is Ningyue Pavilion free now?"
"It's almost done. There are no more places for this month, and the reserved dresses are also being made. Don't worry, Miss. I will not delay Ningyue Pavilion's affairs."
There was nothing to do in Ningyue Pavilion today, so she followed the young lady to Ningxiu Restaurant.
"Okay, don't worry, Shopkeeper Biyun will not be treated unfairly in terms of monthly wages." Jiang Suining said with a smile.
"Thank you, Miss." Biyun responded happily.
In fact, she was a little embarrassed at first when the monthly salary was mentioned, but later the lady told her seriously that as long as she did a good job, she deserved the monthly salary. Gradually, she was no longer embarrassed.
"Also, if you have time recently, you can teach Xier how to read."
"Okay, don't worry, miss." Biyun responded straightforwardly. The miss had already mentioned this to her last night. Xier had gone to see her godmother, and she would teach her when she came back.
Jiang Suining picked up the teacup and took a sip of water, a trace of thought flashing across his brows.
Speaking of which, because of Zheng Yan'er, I have been very busy these days and have no time to take care of Han Nian'an.
Since the last time at Xiangji Temple, she has not yet inquired about Han Nian'an's news...
Jiang Suining thought about it, with a hint of curiosity in his eyes. Half an incense stick later, he left Ningxiu Pavilion and went to Lin Ziqing's Tianyin Pavilion.
Tianyin Pavilion is located in the west of the city. On the surface, it looks like just a teahouse, but over the past year, it has gradually become famous.
When Jiang Suining arrived, Lin Ziqing happened to be there. He already knew about Jinfeng Tower and Zheng Yaner, and first expressed his congratulations to Jiang Suining.
When Lin Ziqing learned that Jiang Suining came for the news about the Han family and Han Nian'an, he couldn't help but speak.
"I actually know this news about her, but I have to say, that Miss Han is really a weirdo!"
