Shocking! The entire court was drooling with envy because of me.

These words left Gu Qionghua completely stunned.

She had always thought it was her fault, so she felt guilty and tried her best to please him.

But her mother said she did nothing wrong.

Even though she did nothing wrong, her mother still resented her.

Her mother didn't love her.

My mother only loves my older sister.

Gu Qionghua received this cruel answer.

Her expectation of her mother's love could never be fulfilled.

At that moment, Gu Qionghua's heart was completely shattered.

Tears almost completely blurred my vision.

She cannot see her mother.

"I wish I had been the one who died young back then!"

Gu Qionghua could no longer control herself; she no longer wanted to be in the same space as the Princess.

He turned around and rushed out the door.

A moment of silence fell over the scene.

Even the diners dared not speak.

Those eating quietly, those queuing quietly.

He would sneak a peek every now and then.

Everyone has a gossipy nature, and this kind of scene is not uncommon.

Shen Qing hadn't expected the relationship between the mother and daughter to be like this.

After all that, it turns out the princess wanted her to go to her residence and cook for a dead person.

The dead person sounds like Gu Qionghua's sister.

The relationship is complicated, so complicated...

"Madam Shen, please excuse my rudeness. Let's continue our previous conversation. I'd like to..."

Shen Qing was very direct: "Sorry."

It might seem a bit heartless, but she felt she couldn't agree to it.

While the eldest princess's plight was certainly pitiful, emotionally, she felt even more sorry for Gu Qionghua.

Perhaps it's because she was the first to meet Gu Qionghua.

"This palace..." The eldest princess wanted to say more.

Shen Qing shook her head: "I will not agree to any conditions."

When a person dies, they are reduced to ashes. The rituals and commemorations are merely ways for the living to comfort themselves.

The eldest princess has been dwelling on the past for too long.

But she had no right to advise the eldest princess.

She couldn't offer any advice to a mother who had lost her child.

Don't persuade others to be kind to others without suffering.

There is no solution to this problem.

Upon hearing this, the eldest princess was utterly distraught.

She had just heard Gu Qionghua say that this Lady Shen was not afraid of power and possessed superb martial arts skills.

There was no way to force her to enter the princess's residence.

She staggered out, her mind filled with thoughts of how to persuade Shen Qing to willingly enter the manor and cook a delicious meal for her Zhaohua.

"Oh, that girl is so pitiful."

"This mother isn't worried at all. Such a beautiful girl, just running off like that, what if something happens to her..."

"Having already lost one child, why can't we cherish the other? Sigh..."

A few whispers drifted over, reaching right into the princess's ears.

The eldest princess gave a bitter smile.

What could possibly happen to her? The royal princess always has bodyguards by her side.

These people know nothing. Gu Qionghua already has everything, yet she is still not satisfied.

Zhaohua, poor Zhaohua...

As the princess's figure receded into the distance, the diners discussed for a while before returning to their fervent enjoyment of the food.

Eating melons is not as good as eating delicious food, especially since this is Lady Shen's delicious food.

That was just a minor incident, and Zhiwei Restaurant has returned to its previous bustling state.

"It smells so good! The Super Supreme Pizza smells amazing!"

"I would call him the God of Pizza!!"

"Madam Shen is the most beautiful woman in the whole world!"

"..."

Shen Qing focused on making the pizzas, and everything in the restaurant was in good order.

Just then, a familiar voice rang out:

"One Super Supreme!"

The visitor was Xiao Yu, Xiao Mo's older brother, who has now become a regular customer of Zhiwei Restaurant.

Shen Qing chuckled softly, "So, you've come to see your sister again?"

"This is the last time. I'm going to bring my little sister back to the manor. I've taken care of everything at home." Xiao Yu said smugly.

He used to be concerned about filial piety and dared not do anything to his parents.

This time, for the sake of his younger sister, he has completely seized power from the Xiao family, and now he is in charge of the Xiao family.

My little sister can continue to be a pampered young lady at home.

"You're quick, congratulations!" Shen Qing said with a smile as she handed over the pizza.

"Of course! If we don't hurry, my little sister will be tricked away by that poor boy who's gathering herbs!"

Xiao Yu took the pizza, looking like he'd narrowly escaped danger.

To be honest, he really looked down on Chen Jie, that poor kid.

His younger sister is just not destined to endure hardship!

Besides pizza, Xiao Yu bought some other food and sat at the table in the center of the restaurant, eating slowly.

He wanted to wait until the restaurant was less busy before he could reunite with his younger sister.

After all, while others were questioning each other, many people were just watching the drama unfold.

He can't let people gossip about him.

Xiao Yu ate with great relish.

Xiao Mo naturally saw her older brother, and looked at him several times before looking away.

Although the beauty pageant was over, she still didn't want to go back to the Xiao family.

She enjoys her current fulfilling and free life.

Soon, all the food was sold out.

The customers in the restaurant gradually left, leaving only Xiao Yu.

He could no longer contain his joy, and only when he saw that no one was around did he rush to Xiao Mo.

"Little sister, don't suffer in the restaurant anymore. Come home with me, brother. I can protect you now!!"

Xiao Mo: "???"

When did my brother recognize her?

Xiao Mo looked completely bewildered.

"Your brother recognized you on your first day at the restaurant, but he refrained from acknowledging you to put your mind at ease," Shen Qing explained, noticing Xiao Mo's question.

Xiao Yu: "Little sister, don't think I won't recognize you just because you cut your hair and made yourself look ugly. I'm your brother, you know. Even if you turned to ashes, I would still recognize you."

"Look at you, working so hard at the restaurant must be exhausting. Come home with your brother."

Xiao Mo suddenly realized, but her gaze was very firm: "I'm not going back. Working at the restaurant is fine."

"Don't be afraid, I've already taken care of your parents. Now the Xiao family mansion is ours, brother and sister's domain. You can do whatever you want, no one will stop you."

"Really?" Xiao Mo's eyes lit up. "I can do whatever I want? I won't be restricted in my freedom anymore?"

"Of course."

"However, you should marry that poor boy. He's too poor to give you happiness. You know, spending a poor man's money is like murder and arson. You'll definitely suffer in the end."

Xiao Yu quickly added that he couldn't let his sister marry a poor boy.

"If you really like him..." His tone became strained, "If you really like him, then you can let him come into the household as a son-in-law. That way, the initiative will be in our hands."
