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

The soup in the bowl was milky white and clear.

The fish meat is also snow-white, and melts in your mouth.

The yam was stewed until it was very soft and tender, and the texture was very good.

The crown prince still frowned; he could taste a very faint fishy smell, and he felt a little nauseous.

He didn't say anything, but everyone knew what was going on.

The Sixth Prince looked at Lin Yuwei and said, "Chef Lin, your cooking skills still need improvement. The perch and yam in the palace are top-quality ingredients, yet you've cooked them like this..."

"No, no, these two ingredients are incompatible. They are only used together in medicinal cuisine because they can strengthen the spleen and stomach."

Lin Yuwei refused to admit that there was anything wrong with her actions.

This time, she followed Su Wan Ning's medicinal diet recipe exactly! At most, there might be slight differences in dosage and cooking time, but it's impossible to detect many problems.

Even if there's a problem, it's Su Wan Ning's recipe that's faulty!

But the Sixth Prince sneered, "Oh? Do you know that I just tasted a dish of yam stewed with crucian carp the other day? It clearly used the most common yam and crucian carp that every household in the country has, yet it made a dish ten times better than yours!"

"How is that possible!"

Lin Yuwei felt a chill run through her body.

This sixth prince loves to travel around. Where did he go the other day?

"Alright, you can go now."

The sixth prince did not answer her, but simply waved his hand.

Lin Yuwei left in a daze and hurriedly returned to her residence.

Before long, a note was intercepted by the Sixth Prince's men.

[Quickly kill!]

"Fine! You want to kill me to cover your tracks!"

The sixth prince slammed his fist on the table. "Brother, what do you intend to do about this?"

"You guessed right. I had someone check Su's records of leaving the palace, and it says it was a favor from the Empress."

And the date above is the very day he praised the mountain delicacy soup.

In other words, as soon as he showed interest, someone started plotting to replace the real cook with a fake one. Once they gained his trust, it would be easy for them to do whatever they wanted.

Unfortunately, Lin Yuwei's cooking was really bad.

Even now, he can barely eat a little bit. So, what is the person behind this, remaining inactive, plotting?

Even the crown prince couldn't understand this.

"You can stay here and rest for a day. I still need to look up some more things."

"it is good."

The sixth prince fell asleep immediately.

The Crown Prince recalled an old incident when he was very young and his mother always forced him to eat.

Later, he hid in the library, where he met a young palace maid. The maid didn't recognize his identity, but she did recognize his food box and stared at it longingly.

He made up a random excuse and gave her the food box.

As they ate, the palace maid realized she didn't have a good appetite, so she brought him some roasted beans that she had made herself.

She said she could only pick up beans that others didn't want, secretly roast them, and sprinkle them with salt.

It's crunchy and delicious.

That was the best thing he had ever eaten.

But later, for some unknown reason, a fire broke out in the library.

He never saw that little palace maid again.

That day, when he drank the mountain delicacy soup, he had a strange feeling of familiarity, but when he called someone over to take a look, he felt something was wrong; the little palace maid was not Lin Yuwei.

Since it's highly likely that Lin Yuwei replaced Chef Su in making the mountain delicacy soup, could she be that little palace maid?

In Qingshan County, Wantang Restaurant was packed with customers again.

Everyone had long been used to it, checking the sign at the entrance of Wan Tang's kitchen every day.

The sign usually lists the tea bags and seasonal snacks available for sale tomorrow, but today it says "Closed tomorrow."

Many people are not happy about it.

"Why?! It's only been open for a few days and it's already closing down?"

"Yes, is doing business really that casual?"

After all, there are very few shops that offer such affordable prices and delicious food!

Most importantly, whenever the restaurant is open, it will provide two large buckets of water for everyone to drink for free, both in the morning and afternoon.

Sometimes it's ice-cold well water, sometimes it's mung bean drink or plum drink. The weather is so hot and dry, who would want it to close down if they could have free water?

"Our shop closes one day every four days in order to find better seasonal ingredients and make more delicious food for everyone."

Su Wanning personally explained, "However, every time we close for the day, we replenish the water from the previous day when we reopen. The requirements are still the same as before: no proxy collection is allowed, no multiple collections are allowed, and it's first-come, first-served."

After these words were spoken, everyone fell silent.

He was afraid that he had said something wrong and displeased Madam Su, and that she would stop distributing water to everyone in the future, which would make him a sinner!

He quickly apologized and thanked them, then ran away in a flash.

Just as Su Wan Ning was about to close the shop, she caught a glimpse of a piece of clothing flashing by in the corner.

She pretended not to see it, closed and locked the door, and went back to the backyard. "Tangtang, you and Sister Lingxi go back to the manor tonight."

"I don't want to!"

For the first time, Su Tang didn't want to listen.

Her eyes were a little red. "I want to stay with you in the shop!"

"It's actually inconvenient for you to be here, you know? I have to think about you all the time."

Su Wanning patted her little head and said, "You have to trust your sister. Your sister is very strong and powerful."

"Sister Lingxi!"

Su Tang looked at Xu Lingxi for help.

Xu Lingxi shrugged, giving a helpless look. "Don't worry, I'll keep the Xuancao too."

As a result, Su Tang was forced to leave with Xu Lingxi.

The shop suddenly became empty and quiet.

Su Wan Ning was alone and didn't feel like eating dinner, so she leisurely lay on a recliner in the yard.

She watched the sky gradually darken, listening intently to the sounds outside.

The neighbors are all asleep, so shouldn't Feng Shi make his move now?

After Lin Jiabao "disappeared," Feng Shi searched for several days without success. After discovering that Lin Mao and his wife were at Jiang Tao'er's house, he went to their house, beat them up, and took them back.

Jiang Tao'er thanked him profusely and even said a lot of bad things about herself to Feng Shi.

Feng Shi hated Lin Mao's family, and of course he hated himself too, so he plotted to set fire to the shop tonight.

Unfortunately, the children found out about all of this and told him in advance.

Su Wan Ning then let Su Tang leave first. She needed to see if Feng Shi was coming in person tonight or if he had hired someone else. It would be fine if he came alone, but she didn't want Su Tang to take the risk as well.

"This is it. You climb in first and see if the woman is asleep."

Su Wanning quietly got up and hid.

Soon, a burly man in black jumped onto the wall, scanned the courtyard, and said, "Nobody's here, come quick!"

As he spoke, he jumped down and was met with a smiling face.
