Jiang Suining looked at Xier and said, "You are young and you can't do much if you stay at home. Just follow me and run errands."

Xier heaved a sigh of relief and quickly responded, "Yes, I obey your command."

Soon, Jiang Suining took Xier out to Ningxiu Restaurant.

Zheng Yan'er was delighted when she heard the news.

Jiang Suining has mostly stayed in Ningxiu Restaurant recently, and Xier has followed him now. The first step to get the recipe is considered a success!

It was already late and Jinfeng Tower had already opened, but Zheng Yan'er did not rush there. Instead, she brought the soup she had made herself and went to Zheng's yard.

She came last night, but was sent away by Zheng on the grounds that she was not feeling well.

Although Zheng Yan'er was sure that Zheng would not completely alienate herself from her because of what happened yesterday, she also knew that she had to hurry up and appease Zheng and repair their relationship.

When Zheng Yan'er arrived, the maid in the yard happened to be out, and no one reported to her. She walked all the way to the outside of the room, raised her hand and was about to knock on the door, when she heard the voices of Jiang Zhitong and Zheng talking from inside.

"Madam, I think you should let your brother take Yan'er back."

Zheng Yan'er's hand froze in mid-air, and she was stunned for a moment.

"Master, but Yan'er doesn't want to go back."

"But we can't let her stay in the Jiang family like this forever."

Jiang Zhitong sighed and continued.

"Madam, I know you love Yan'er. If she knows her limits and doesn't cause trouble, I have no objection to her staying in the Jiang family for as long as she wants. But you can see that she deliberately concealed the matter of Jinfeng Tower from you, and even though you've said that, she still won't listen to you. This shows that although she appears to be well-behaved on the surface, she has her own calculations in her heart. If she continues to stay, she might cause trouble."

Zheng was in a dilemma. Although she was also angry, she couldn't help but speak when she thought of Zheng Yan'er's companionship for so long.

"Master, although Yan'er did something wrong this time, maybe she is just afraid of losing business, so she follows Sui Ning's example. Wouldn't it be too serious to let her go back like this?"

Jiang Zhitong frowned, "Madam, there is nothing wrong with using some methods to do business, but you have to keep your heart upright. If she has any concerns in her heart, she will not do this under the same roof."

He had always felt that Zheng Yan'er was too sweet-talking and well-behaved, and had coaxed his wife into trusting her too much, but after all, Zheng Yan'er was his wife's niece, and as her uncle, he couldn't say anything.

But this time was different. He could ignore the frictions between Zheng Yan'er and Mu Shi on weekdays. Anyway, according to Mu Shi's personality, he would not suffer any loss. But he could not let Sui Ning suffer any grievances.

Suining was a considerate and sensible child who didn't want to put them in a difficult position, but as the elders they couldn't just think that the matter was over.

Zheng knew that this was not without reason, but she just let him go back like this...

"Master, can't you really give her another chance? You know, the Zheng family has fallen on hard times. She might not live as well as she did in the Jiang family if she goes back. I can't bear it."

"Madam, Yan'er's last name is Zheng after all, and she will be coming of age soon. Her parents are still alive. Even if she doesn't go back now, she will have to leave when the marriage is arranged. She can't live in the Jiang family forever. At most, we can give her some more money to take back, and her life will not be bad."

Jiang Zhitong spoke in a firm tone, and Zheng finally fell silent and stopped pleading for Zheng Yan'er.

After a while, she sighed and said, "Forget it. I'll go talk to Yan'er and try to persuade her."

Outside the room, Zheng Yan'er tightly grasped the tray in her hand. There was no trace of obedience and weakness on her face, only gloom.

Without knocking on the door again, she quietly left Zheng's yard. When she returned to her room, she was already overwhelmed by the sense of crisis.

She just thought that Zheng would not let her leave because of this, but she didn't expect that Jiang Zhitong, who had not expressed much opinion, would speak up, and his attitude was so firm.

Zheng Yan'er was feeling anxious. Jiang Zhitong was the head of the family after all. Having said that, she was afraid that her aunt would find it difficult to keep her. Moreover, her aunt had just said that she would come to persuade her, which clearly meant that she was giving in and agreeing to let her leave.

Damn it! Damn it!

Zheng Yan'er threw the tray and soup bowl heavily onto the table.

Staring at the soup spilled on the table, Zheng Yan'er tried hard to calm herself down.

Jinfeng Tower has just opened, so she absolutely cannot go back at this time. She must find a way to stay.

It was impossible to get Jiang Zhitong's support. The only thing she could do was to ask her aunt to change her mind and help her compete with Jiang Zhitong. But how should she do it?

Zheng Yan'er gritted her teeth and thought quickly. Suddenly, an idea came to her mind...

Although Zheng agreed to let Zheng Yan'er leave, she really didn't know how to start the conversation.

After hesitating for a long time, he finally sent someone to find Zheng Yan'er, but he was told that his cousin had just left the house, so he had to give up for the time being.

By dinner time, Zheng Yan'er had not returned yet. She just sent someone back a message saying that Jinfeng Tower had just opened and there were too many things to do, so she would be home later.

Zheng ordered her servants to look for Zheng Yan'er when she came back, but Zheng Yan'er did not show up until late at night.

Just when Zheng was wondering if Zheng Yan'er was hiding from her, Zheng Yan'er arrived at Zheng's yard early the next morning.

"Aunt, it was already very late when I came back last night. I thought you might be asleep, so I didn't come to disturb you. Is there anything you want to talk to me about?" Zheng Yan'er had a smile on her face, as if she had no idea what Zheng was thinking.

"Yan'er, I..." Zheng looked hesitant.

"By the way, Auntie!" Zheng Yan'er spoke again, "I have something I want to ask you."

Zheng frowned. Could it be something related to the restaurant again?

Seeing that Zheng didn't say anything, Zheng Yan'er continued.

"Sister Sui Ning's coming-of-age ceremony is coming up soon. I was not thoughtful enough about the restaurant matter and I am sorry for her, so I want to carefully choose a gift and give it to her as an apology when she comes of age. Aunt, you have good taste, can you accompany me?"

"So that's what happened." Zheng heaved a sigh of relief. "Yan'er, it's good that you think this way, but..."

"Aunt, I really just want to apologize to Sister Ning, can you please help me?" Zheng Yan'er interrupted Zheng and said in a pleading tone.

Looking at Zheng Yan'er's appearance, Zheng temporarily swallowed the words of persuasion to leave and nodded in agreement.

Well, Yan'er should apologize to Suining. Her coming-of-age ceremony is just around the corner. Even if she needs to go back, there's no need to rush to do it in the next few days.

"Thank you, Auntie. Let's go now!"

Zheng Yan'er smiled and thanked him, and held Zheng's arm affectionately. However, from an angle that Zheng had not noticed, her eyes flashed with calculations...
