Chapter 7, spit it out quickly

Good child! As she watched her daughter shove the dirty noodles into her mouth, Luo Huaixiu screamed in fright and rushed over without a second thought. What she made was definitely fine, but who knows if someone else had tampered with it

Listening to the conversation between the old woman and their shopkeeper at this moment, it seems they are acquainted with the shopkeeper, which surely indicates that they have come here intentionally to cause trouble

Madam Xue suddenly stopped in her tracks, her expression composed, yet a surge of anger flickered in her old eyes. "She is merely a woman discarded by our Xue family, just someone who has survived by sheer luck. What is there to regard her with special attention?"

The guests before me are quite arrogant, or rather, they are utterly unreasonable. The specialty of this restaurant is clearly different from others, and the signature dishes are clearly stated. However, as soon as the dishes are served, these guests begin to make trouble before even picking up their chopsticks. A staff member kindly attempts to explain to them, only to be scolded and forced to kneel and apologize.

On the third day of the reopening of 'Du Wei Restaurant', Luo Huaixiu was busy in the kitchen when the waiter, Da Gu, rushed in in a panic, saying, "Manager, something big has happened!"

Good child, it's all right now, it's all right now, we have finally driven away the annoying person. Come, accompany your mother to tidy up, we should close early and rest early today. " Luo Huaixiu pulled her daughter's hand and headed straight for the kitchen, muttering, "I have been busy all day, I am exhausted.

At noon, when the restaurant was at its busiest, not a single person in the packed hall was eating. Everyone was gathered in a circle, engaged in various discussions, and even people outside were continuously pushing their way into the restaurant, eager to see what had transpired in this incident.

She could still go about her days calmly without seeing anyone from the Xue family, after all, that was something this body had experienced and had nothing to do with her. However, after they met, she realized she had overestimated her own mindset and could not truly remain indifferent.

When she encountered her, Luo Huaixiu had no intention of avoiding her. This restaurant belonged to her, so why should she make room for others? Moreover, her original self had already been divorced by her son Xue Chaoqi. It is not to mention that she is not the original self; even if she were, she no longer had any ties to the Xue family.

The restaurant is operating as usual, and business remains booming

Luo Huaixiu's heart trembled for a moment, mainly because there has been a continuous stream of both major and minor events lately

Luo Huaixiu let out a cold smile, and just as she was about to speak, Luo Mei, who had been silent beside her, suddenly crouched down and picked up the bowl of cold noodles that had been knocked over on the ground. She raised her head and scanned the crowd with a blank expression, then suddenly said coldly, "Someone is deliberately framing our Duwei Restaurant. Now that a person has died, we do not wish to say much, as saying more will not be of any use. With so many people present today, I only want to ask everyone to help us witness that Duwei Restaurant is innocent. Now I will eat the remaining noodles."

Madam Xue gradually regained her composure, holding herself upright and glaring at her with her old, piercing eyes, exuding an air of authority without anger. "Luo Huaixiu, is this tavern owned by you?"

Luo Huaixiu smiled and nodded, "Indeed, I am not talented, and can only rely on doing some small business to make a living"

Regarding the man's lamentations, the captain remained relatively calm. After the coroner finished examining the corpse, he exchanged a glance and asked, "What do you think? Did you find anything?"

It is uncertain whether the adversaries of the other party still exist. If they, the master and servant, were to leave just like that, what would happen if someone came seeking revenge? The mother and daughter could handle some petty individuals without much trouble, but what if they encountered a desperate criminal? Therefore, the fact that the master and servant did not leave actually brought her a sense of relief.

Facing the astonished and disgusted gaze of Madam Xue, Geng, Luo Huaixiu shrugged her shoulders, indicating her composure

In the eyes of others, they are simply thick-skinned, clinging to stay here and enjoy free food and lodging, even Luo Mei finds it quite puzzling, as her own mother is not such a generous person

"It's nothing." Luo Huaixiu quickly regained her composure and began to complain to her daughter as usual, "My dear, you know that we are borrowing someone else's body here. That old woman is merely someone I knew in my previous life. Let me tell you, that old woman has a strong background and a venomous heart. In the future, when you see her, keep your distance and don't engage in too much conversation with such a person... I'm telling you, this isn't out of fear of her, but simply to prevent such people from affecting our mood."

The coroner sighed, first glancing at the head of the captors, then at the onlookers, and finally turned to Luo Huaixiu, "Manager Luo, this person indeed died from poisoning"

Looking at a bowl of cold noodles that had been knocked over on the ground, Luo Huaixiu waved to a nearby attendant and then pointed to the table, calmly instructing, "Shitou, clear all of this away and also clean the floor. Do not let these things tarnish the noble eyes of our guests"

Luo Meiteng used one hand to push her away, swallowing the noodles in her mouth before continuing to pick up the noodles on the ground and putting them into her mouth

Madam Xue let out a cold snort, her proud gaze revealing a hint of sharpness. "To deal with such a woman, there is no need for great effort. Once we return to the inn, I will find someone to go to her restaurant, and with just a little trick, we can make her unable to stand her ground here!"

The yamen received a report and immediately dispatched the constable and the coroner. At this moment, another man was kneeling on the ground, tugging at the constable's pant leg and pointing at Luo Huaixiu while crying out, "My lord, you must take responsibility for the common people... My elder brother died after eating their food, I witnessed it with my own eyes... This woman is the cook from this tavern, it must be her who poisoned and killed my elder brother..."

Luo Huaixiu's entire face was tense, cold, and hard; if it weren't for the many people present, she would have loved to take a knife and slay the person who was slandering her!

Since the appearance of Mo Bai, they have not hidden anymore, and the master and servant continue to stay in the Du Wei Restaurant

"Mother, who is she?" Luo Mei walked over, standing beside her with a blank expression, feeling quite perplexed by the excitement reflected in her eyes

Madam Xue maintained her composure, casting a cold and piercing glare at Luo Huaixiu, before turning away with an air of arrogance, "Leave!"

There is no way, who made her have those memories? Moreover, thinking about the fact that her daughter's body still carries the blood of the Xue family, her heart is like a turbulent wave, with an unnamed anger surging up. She admits that she cannot stand that old woman's arrogant and pretentious demeanor.

As she finished speaking, she raised her hand, and the bearers following behind hurriedly brought the sedan chair to her side, while two maidservants carefully assisted her into the chair

If she had not seen it with her own eyes, she would have found it hard to believe that Luo Huaixiu had changed so much... Not only has she started a business here, but she is also doing it quite impressively. What impresses her the most is Luo's current demeanor, which is simply like that of a different person compared to her former self

Luo Huaixiu cast a sidelong glance at her, "This place is mine. What, am I not allowed to speak? Don't think that being a good dog for your master by biting others makes you special; there are plenty of better dogs than you. If you want to compete, I can immediately have a few brought out to bite you!"

In fact, Luo Huaixiu has been quite meticulous in her calculations. Although she did not witness the events that occurred in her restaurant a few days ago, she still felt a sense of fear based on the extent of the damage to the establishment. She could not ascertain the details of who was fighting and killing, but she was only concerned that such incidents might continue to occur

Shopkeeper, just now two guests came to our restaurant, and one of them died after taking just two bites... The person who came with him insists that our cold noodles are poisonous and that they killed his friend

With a forced smile on her face, she spoke first, "I never expected to encounter the esteemed 'Madam of Zhao State' here. Oh my, I wonder what kind of wind has blown today to bring you, esteemed lady, to my restaurant."

Madam Xue suddenly shouted coldly, "Jing Feng, step back!"

Good child—quickly spit it out— Luo Huaixiu was so agitated that she was almost going crazy. Seeing her daughter still eating, she suddenly lost control and hugged her tightly.

Without saying another word, she hurriedly ran towards the lobby

After instructing the attendant, Luo Huaixiu pointed to the door outside and said with a cold smile, "Madam of Zhao State, please, our establishment is small and cannot accommodate a great figure like you. I kindly ask you to dine elsewhere."

What?! Luo Huaixiu almost jumped up

"Crimson on the Crane's Crown"

What happened to Ohtani again

Madam Xue narrowed her eyes slightly, glancing around, her haughty gaze revealing her disdain for this place

In the midst of a crowd, a man lies flat on the ground, with white foam flowing from the corners of his mouth, his eyes bulging, and his deathly appearance is somewhat frightening

When they walked out of the 'Unique Flavor Restaurant', the group remained silent. However, after they had distanced themselves from the 'Unique Flavor Restaurant', the old woman following Madam Xue could no longer hold back and cautiously asked, "Madam, I never expected that Luo Huaixiu would actually come here after being divorced. Look at her now, she doesn't even regard you highly, which shows how much she has changed. It truly makes one see her in a different light."

Oh. Luo Mei responded lightly, her face as expressionless as ever, yet a hint of complexity flashed in her eyes

It is a pity that today's Luo Huaixiu is no longer the daughter-in-law who could be scolded and beaten at will

In the restaurant, Luo Huaixiu stared at the entrance, unable to calm her mind no matter what.

The old woman lowered her head, her demeanor extremely respectful and cautious, yet the words she spoke carried a hint of reluctance, "Madam, it is not that I am flattering her; I merely feel that she does not regard you highly enough."

In her memory, this old woman had always harbored extreme disdain and dissatisfaction towards her original self, especially after learning that her daughter-in-law was pregnant yet still had her period. She firmly insisted that the child in her daughter-in-law's womb was a 'dog fetus,' referring to the unborn child as a 'reincarnation of an evil spirit'.

Upon hearing this, the fellow quickly stepped forward to tidy things up

She truly did not expect that Luo Huaixiu would be here. Judging by the scale of this restaurant, it is quite impressive. This woman is indeed someone not to be underestimated

Let them stay for now; we will see how things go after observing for a while. In any case, the situation has already unfolded, and even if she wants to regret it, there is no remedy for regret.

This old lady, apart from her high seniority in the Xue family, also holds the title of the National Lady, which is said to have been conferred by the late emperor as "Lady Zhao of the State." Therefore, it is only natural that she carries herself with an air of authority and presence

Upon hearing this, Madam Xue's expression changed slightly. The old woman beside her immediately straightened her back and angrily rebuked her, "How dare you! Do you have the audacity to be so unreasonable?"

The old woman immediately lowered her head and said, "Yes, my lady."

The old woman widened her eyes, her face changing color, "You!"

Luo Huaixiu asked coldly, word by word, "What poison is it?"
