My whole family sucked my blood; after being reborn, the little cook went on a killing spree.

Su Wanning looked inside.

The candlelight was dim, and one could only vaguely see Feng Shi lying on the bed, with a woman applying medicine to him while crying.

"Say something! The Li family can't just attack us whenever they want. They don't value our lives at all! Have you even asked them what their right is to hit you?"

Su Wanning agreed with this statement.

Wasn't she wronged and tortured to death in her past life?

It seems that the person who met with the maid was indeed "Feng Shi's man," which explains why Feng Shi beat her up.

The Third Madam truly lived up to her reputation as someone who had managed the estate for so many years; she did a very clean job.

"Alright! It's all because the Third Madam made a mistake and then dumped it on me."

"So you're just going to accept it like that?"

"What else can I do? Do you think I can fight against the Li family?"

Feng Shi's voice was irritated. "If Lin Jiabao hadn't betrayed me, I wouldn't have gotten beaten up and lost my job. Once I recover, I'll definitely kill that little bastard!"

Su Wan Ning made this trip hoping to make these two fight like dogs, but judging from the situation, she doesn't need to do anything anymore.

Regarding the ham incident, the patriarch did not expose Xu Lingxi. On the surface, he comforted Lin Mao, but in reality, he hinted that he had noticed the abnormality from Lin Jiabao.

In Feng Shi's eyes, it was Lin Jiabao threatening him, demanding money, and then trying to use him to curry favor with the Li family!

Su Wan Ning tiptoed out again.

She no longer needed to worry about the two men, so she went straight back to her shop and slept soundly through the night.

Mu Xun, Meng Lingshu, and Li Xuzhi all agreed to resume the medicinal meals at noon starting today.

She spent the whole morning making three different hot pots with congee bases, and also prepared tea, medicine, and dinner for the three of them. When Old Zhao arrived, she discussed the three people's different situations with him in detail.

Old Zhao liked the food she made, but when it came to medicinal cuisine, he still carefully pointed out many flaws.

Su Wan Ning carefully wrote everything down, and received a lot of praise from Old Zhao.

Before long, Mu Xun arrived with his entire family, as well as Meng Lingshu and Li Xuzhi.

Li Xuzhi rarely left the manor, let alone ate in the same hall with so many people. Even when he was alone at a table, he always had a smile on his face, which made him look awkward no matter how you looked at him.

Until Su Wan Ning brought his medicinal congee hot pot to the table.

Li Xuzhi's forced smile finally seemed a little more genuine.

Su Wan Ning was too lazy to pay attention to him. It was better if he was unhappy. In the end, he shouldn't come again. Anyway, that was her rule. Well, at least that was the rule for him!

After Meng Lingshu finished eating and drinking, she pulled her aside and talked for a while.

Following Su Wan Ning's method, they first collected the old dried goods from the people's homes. These goods couldn't be sold for a good price, and they were barely edible even for themselves. When they heard that it was the county magistrate's wife who wanted to collect them, and that it was to fill the stomachs of those refugees as a good deed, they were all very enthusiastic.

It's a win-win situation that also earns you a good reputation. Who wouldn't want to do it?

Many wealthy families, upon hearing this, naturally didn't want to be left behind by those "foolish people," and each household donated some money.

With the rice and dried vegetables in hand, Meng Lingshu added some medicinal herbs to clear heat and moisturize dryness, and cooked them together into a brown rice and dried vegetable porridge.

To be honest, this porridge doesn't taste very good.

But if you can fill your stomach, who cares about how good the food is? So those who continued to cause trouble were easily identified, and upon investigation, it turned out that they were all extraordinary people, some of whom were even carrying knives!

"If it weren't for you this time, I don't know what would have happened."

Meng Lingshu looked shaken. "Madam Su, our master has already reported this matter. He has done a good job in pacifying the refugees, and there will be a reward later. However, public matters are public matters, and private matters are private matters. If you have anything to say in the future, feel free to tell me."

"To be honest, Madam, there is something I haven't been able to take care of yet."

Su Wanning isn't a saint; of course she'll seize any opportunity that comes her way.

"you say."

Meng Lingshu was very happy; she liked Su Niangzi's generous and open manner.

"My parents died early, and I don't have many relatives left. After leaving the palace and returning home, I thought of opening a medicinal cuisine shop."

Su Wan Ning looked at Su Tang and said, "I have already submitted my release document to the yamen, but I will have to wait until the shop opens before I can register my household. I would like to ask you to take care of me when the time comes. Firstly, so that I can register my household smoothly, and secondly, since Su Tang is a homeless child, I would like to have her as my younger sister and register her in my household."

She went to the yamen (government office) as soon as she returned to Qingshan County that day.

A considerable amount of money was given, but the procedures for establishing a female household registration were indeed numerous. The person in question had to own property and have a "stable income," which was difficult to judge. Basically, whatever they said was acceptable.

Not only that, but more than five households from the village must also be witnesses to qualify.

Having the qualifications wasn't the end of the process; all the documents had to be submitted for review at each level. If any official felt something was amiss, then another solution had to be found.

Su Wanning is not afraid of trouble; she always takes steady steps and eventually succeeds.

But now that we have this connection with the magistrate's wife, we definitely have to make use of it.

"What's so difficult about that? I've seen your skills firsthand. There's no need to wait until the opening; I'll get everything sorted out for you tomorrow, and so will this little girl."

Meng Lingshu beckoned Su Tang over, inquired about the situation in detail, and then made a decision: "There are many refugees now, so it would be a good thing to be able to register her in your household."

Meng Lingshu accepted the mission and left with Mu Xun's family.

Li Xuzhi had been waiting for a long time and was already impatient. "You must go to the estate to make it for me tomorrow at noon."

"no."

Su Wanning refused without hesitation.

Looking at Li Xuzhi with disdain, she said, "The Third Young Master is in poor health and should go out more. Otherwise, staying cooped up all the time will only make him more prone to overthinking."

For example, he wants her, a perfectly good young woman, to be his dog!

"!"

Li Xuzhi left in anger.

Old Zhao jumped out, looking at Li Xuzhi's retreating figure with some confusion, "Who is this guy?"

"The third young master of the third branch of the Li family is delicate and precious, and insists on eating medicinal cuisine."

Su Wanning then recounted how Li Xuzhi had deliberately tricked her last time, almost causing her to make the wrong medicinal cuisine. "Luckily, I was quick-witted and saw through his scheme!"

"That's not right, he doesn't seem sick to me."

Old Zhao had carefully examined all three sets of medicinal diets, so he needed to observe each person's condition closely in order to guide the little girl to change the prescriptions as needed.

But looking at this young master Li, he didn't think he was sick.

Su Wan Ning's heart tightened. Old Zhao's medical skills were definitely not the problem, but Li Xuzhi's problem was much bigger!

Just as I was about to ask more questions, the back door was suddenly banged on.

Li's wailing rang out.

"Wan Ning! Open the door! Save your uncle!"
