Seeing that Wei Ruo had a plan, the wet nurse could only place her worries back into her stomach for now.

Following this, Wei Ruo went to seek Madam Yuan. Upon hearing news that the shop had been vandalized and someone was injured, Madam Yuan offered to help Wei Ruo resolving the matter.

“Leave this all to me. There is no one in Taizhou prefecture I cannot control!” Wei Ruo shook her head, “Madam, I should handle this myself. I must confront and manage these issues personally; I can’t rely on you for everything.

Madam Yuan smiled lightly. Seeing that Wei Ruo had her own thoughts, she didn’t insist further.

“Very well, I’ll assign two of my personal guards to you. They’re my men command excellent martial skills, and they’ll be more convenient than the government office’s guards. Just order them directly when you need something.”

“Thank you, Madam.”

“What’re you being so formal for? You’ve helped me so much, and I’m happy to be able to assist you. Moreover, they were the ones causing trouble in Taizhou prefecture, which naturally entails responsibilities from the magistrate’s office. Not to mention how much my lady friends and I enjoy the marinated delicacies from your shop. It will be a pity if it were to be ruined by those

hoodlums.”

The next day, Wei Ruo and Xiumei, dressed as men, applied some disguises on

their faces.

Wei Ruo put a large, black mole on the upper right corner of her mouth. She was planning to put more hair on it, but Xiumei stopped her.

Xiumei: “Miss, don’t put more, it’s disgusting!”

Wei Ruo: “Disgusting? I find it quite good. Perhaps I could add a birthmark too.”

Wei Ruo knew her facial features were feminine, so without some additional adornments, it would be obvious that she was a girl.

Wei Ruo put the birthmark on her left cheek.

With a mole on the right and a large birthmark on the left, barely anyone could

see her actual face.

Minimized by her youth, the absence of a masculine personality was not at all unusual.

Wei Ruo: “Great, then what should I put on you?”

Xiumei: “A scar, to make it look more fierce.”

Wei Ruo: “Alright, I’ll put one next to your eye, that’ll definitely look ferocious. Playing cheerfully and making fun, they got their disguises ready and then brought the marinated goods they had prepared the night before to Xu’s Marinated Delicacies shop to set up the stall.

Xu’s Marinated Delicacies reopened—while the original shop hadn’t been tidied up yet, a temporary stall was set up in front of it.

Although it was just a small stall, business was still booming.

Many regular customers came over to patronize their business.

Selling for all morning, more than half of the prepared marinated delicacies were sold. They estimated they could sell out completely by the early afternoon.

With a lull at noon, Wei Ruo and Xiumei intended to go inside and grab some

food.

Just as they turned around, several men appeared, blocking the disguised Wei

Ruo and Xiumei’s way.

“You two really have guts, daring to continue your business here!” A tall, thin man started with a sarcastic tone.

Looking at this man and his gang behind him, they resembled hooligans. Wei Ruo looked at the man, not panicked at all, but rather delighted.

They finally showed up; she had been worrying all morning that they wouldn’t come at all!

“Why can’t we continue our business here? Who are you? Are you from the Government Office or somewhere else?” Wei Ruo retorted.

“Didn’t I tell you fools last time? I am a man from Zuixian Residence! Don’t you know what that means when you do business here?” The man puffed.

“What did our business do to obstruct Zuixian Residence?” Wei Ruo asked. “How did you not? Our restaurant is for people to dine in, and you’re selling food right in front of us. Isn’t that considered competition?”

“So what, even if we open a restaurant just like yours, I don’t think the Zuixian Residence has any right to stop us from doing so?” Wei Ruo asked.

“You’re looking for trouble!” The man’s expression became grim, he turned and ordered his men, “Brothers, bring it down for me! Let them know the consequences of messing with Zuixian Residence!

Together with the leader, a total of six men attacked Wei Ruo and Xiumei.

Wei Ruo stepped back, leaving the battlefield to Xiumei.

At the same time, the two guards from Madam Yuan’s party also stepped in. Initially aggressive, the six men were beaten up by Xiumei and the two guards in a few swift moves.

“Who are you? How dare you hit us! We’ve already said we’re from Zuixian Residence! You’re making a mistake! Once our boss hears about this, he won t let you get away with it!”

The tall, thin man was now sprawled on the floor, but he was still yelling.

“Is that so? Why don’t I take you to meet the boss of Zuixian Residence then? I am curious about what kind of influential man he is!

His words immediately changed the man’s complexion to horror: “You, you’re taking me to see the boss of Zuixian Residence? No, I can’t go see him!” Wei Ruo approached, “Why not? Afraid your boss will punish you for failing his mission?”

“I, I…anyhow, I’m not going! Let me go!”

The man tried to crawl up and escape, but Xiumei noticed him, stepped forward, and kicked him back down.

The man groaned in pain.

“What’s your name?” Wei Ruo asked.

“My name is Li Biao and I won’t change it…

“Li Biao, huh? Good, I hope your boss is as brave as you are.” Wei Ruo replied. “You, what are you going to do?” Li Biao had barely finished asking when the two guards dispatched by Madam Yuan came forward, picked him up, and headed towards the Zuixian Residence.

Li Biao panicked: “What are you doing? Let me go! Do you know who I am?”

No matter how much he shouted, Wei Ruo and the others showed no mercy.

It was lunchtime, and Zuixian Residence was crowded with guests.

The appearance of Wei Ruo and her party attracted the attention of many guests.

At the same time, the waiter of the restaurant came out to inquire.

“May I know what’s going on, sirs?”

“Is your boss in the restaurant?” Wei Ruo stepped up to ask.

“Young gentleman, may I know what business you have with our boss?” the waiter asked.

“We caught a few hooligans. They claimed to be instructed by your boss to cause trouble, so I came to speak with your boss about it.” Wei Ruo replied. Upon hearing this, both the waiter and the customers in the restaurant showed expressions of disbelief.

Who was this young man, not very old yet daring.

Did he think that the person capable of establishing a restaurant like Zuixian Residence in Taizhou prefecture would be simple?

Everyone knew the boss of Zuixian Residence had significant backing. Poking his nose into this, wasn’t he afraid of bringing trouble upon himself? Wei Ruo remained calm and composed: “Is your boss in the restaurant now?” The waiter looked troubled. At that moment, the shopkeeper came over and spoke with a smile, “Young gentleman, I’m sorry, but our boss doesn’t meet guests. As for the person you brought with you, our boss doesn’t recognize him either. I think you may have mistaken something..”
