However, these sorts of matters can’t be reasoned out. No matter how much you advise, in the end, it can only be understood by the party involved themselves.

Zhuang Qingning sighed in her heart, but didn’t show it. Instead, she nodded her head and smiled, “Then, I’m looking forward to tasting Uncle Zhang’s cooking.”

“Speaking of cooking, didn’t I mention before that I wanted to have a tofu feast? Uncle Zhang, why don’t you think about how to prepare the tofu feast, what dishes to include? When the time comes, let us try some new dishes?”

“No problem, leave it to me.” Zhang Yongchang boldly patted his chest, “Over the next few days, I’ll come up with a list, try out each dish, and when they taste just right, I’ll prepare a whole table of it and invite you all to come and taste.”

“You promised, I’ll be looking forward to it. Uncle Zhang, you better not forget.”

“How could I laze around and forget about this? I promise.”

Zhang Yongchang laughed heartily.

It was a hearty laughter, and it was clear it came straight from the heart.

Hearing Zhang Yongchang’s laughter, Lian Rong, who was gutting the carp, felt a little relieved.

Seeing that inviting Miss Zhuang over to speak with Zhang Yongchang really wasn’t a mistake, with her frequent visits here, Zhang Yongchang’s mood should gradually improve.

Lian Rong kept smiling as he cleaned the fish and put away all the tofu and prepared everything else. Once all the preparations were complete, he called Zhang Yongchang to the kitchen.

The stewed carp with tofu, made with fermented bean curd, was fragrant and rich, tasted excellent, while the Eight Treasure Lucky Bag was tender and tasty, solving one’s cravings with its refreshing aftertaste. As for the hot and sour soup, it was irresistible, savory and appetizing. The hand-pulled noodles were the best, satisfyingly chewy. By the time you finish a bowl, you would want another.

Zhuang Qingning enjoyed a very delicious and abundant lunch here. She chatted with Zhang Yongchang for a while, figured that Zhuang Sifu should have already arrived at the shop, she then bid farewell and headed for the tofu shop.

Zhang Yongchang and Lian Rong saw Zhuang Qingning off, reminding her to come and chat frequently. They watched her walk away before returning to their chores.

At this time, the sun had slightly tilted to the west, the noon heat gradually dissipating. Especially with the west wind blowing, wafting a faint coolness, it was very refreshing.

However, at this time, Du Yingwei didn’t feel refreshed, he felt cold.

He felt ice-cold all over.

He thought that when Chu Jinnian came, he would just need to make a show of things and then he would be able to send this young novice away. But to his surprise, Chu Jinnian was silent in his actions, never leaving the house, and in just over a month, he had thoroughly investigated all of his affairs.

His corrupt practices, bribery, as well as his plot to frame the previous Magistrate Xia, were all crystal clear, backed by undeniable evidence.

It turned out that; he was underestimating this young master.

Du Yingwei’s gaze was cold and dangerous, staring at Chu Jinnian as if he had been poisoned, he was dying to take a big bite out of him.

“Magistrate Du.” Chu Jinnian, from his high pedestal, sensed his glare and glanced at him, his voice chilled: “Is there anything left you wish to say in this court?”

Is there anything left to say?

Of course, there was a lot left!

“Master Chu.” Du Yingwei gave a cold huff: “At this point, it doesn’t matter what I say, what matters is what some people will say.”

Especially those in power.
