Chapter 56 First Look
Chapter 56 First Look
In the capital city, in a dilapidated little house.
Upon hearing his daughter Shangguan Zhihua's words, Shangguan Chengfeng was immediately enraged and cursed, "Shangguan Zisu, I will never forgive you in this life! If I ever find you, I will grind you to dust and make sure you die without a burial place! You damned wretch, you actually sabotaged my rightful title of Marquis!"
Shangguan Zhihua: "That's right, this shameless wretch is utterly despicable! I won't be able to quell my hatred until I grind her to dust!"
If Shangguan Chengfeng had successfully inherited the Marquis's title, she would now be the legitimate daughter of the Marquis's household, much closer to Xiao Fan, and qualified to compete for the position of concubine. Unlike now, where Xiao Fan doesn't even bother to glance at her, and even if she offered herself up as a concubine, he might not care.
Shangguan Zisu, how cruel you are! If you don't want to marry Xiao Fan, you can just give him to me! We're cousins, not complete strangers.
Cao (Zisu's aunt) was so angry that her eyes were bloodshot and she gritted her teeth: "If I ever see that wretched girl, I will kick her to death! My status as a Marquis's wife has been ruined by that wretched girl. I will never let her live!"
Not only that, that slut Yu, and her newborn bastard child, must also be eradicated!
Shangguan Zhihua: "Father, send someone to find Shangguan Zisu and see where she is. This scourge must be eliminated as soon as possible, otherwise our family will never have a peaceful life!"
Shangguan Chengfeng: "Okay, I understand." Even without his daughter's reminder, he knew that Shangguan Zisu and her two daughters couldn't be allowed to live. Keeping this family around would definitely be a disaster for them.
Now, he's the biggest laughingstock in the capital. Not only has he lost his official position, but his old friends avoid him altogether. He's penniless, friendless, and his young, beautiful concubine has eloped. This kind of life is truly miserable enough, all because of that little bitch Zisu!
Shangguan Mufeng, you short-lived devil, you died without giving me what I wanted. You left me with such a scourge as Shangguan Zisu, causing me so much suffering. I curse you to go to the eighteenth level of hell and never be able to rise again!
Zisu used to be timid, cowardly, foolish, and dull. Shangguan Chengfeng firmly believed that it must have been Shangguan Mufeng who appeared to Zisu in a dream, giving her many pointers. Otherwise, how could she have suddenly become so bold, so wise, and so fierce?!
Shangguan Chengfeng was completely baffled, so he could only vent his anger on Shangguan Mufeng. Only in this way could he feel a little better and have a reason to scold Shangguan Mufeng in order to relieve his inner distress and fear.
That day, Zisu received a letter from Jiang Shichang. Jiang Shichang told Zisu that Shangguan Chengfeng had hired over a dozen thugs to search for Zisu's family. Furthermore, Shili Xiang restaurant had many new dishes, which were almost identical to those Zisu had given to Hao Ri Zi Restaurant. Apart from the different names, the ingredients and spices were nearly the same.
Zisu pondered for a moment, then picked up her pen to reply, reminding Jiang Shichang: "The new dishes from Shili Xiang must have been given to Xiao Fan by Shangguan Zhihua. As for the new dishes I gave you, you should launch them as soon as possible. Otherwise, it wouldn't be good if Shili Xiang beat you to it!"
