Traveling to ancient times to sweep the catering industry

"Miss, I have something to tell you."

He rushed in. Cheng Wenwen rarely saw her so anxious, so she sent everyone else out and left only the two of them in the room.

"Mother He, what's the hurry?"

He quickly told Cheng Wenwen what she had just seen.

"Miss, Wu Li is obviously in love with the general. I can see it clearly."

Cheng Wenwen frowned slightly.

He continued, "Miss, you have to be careful of Wu Li. I heard that she has been following the general since she was a teenager. She is the person with the longest seniority in the palace. The general also thinks highly of her. If she really has that kind of intention, I'm afraid she will not be a good person in the future."

"Moreover, I suspect that the leak of our secret recipe this time was probably done by her."

He analyzed everything with Cheng Wenwen one by one, and Cheng Wenwen naturally knew the reason behind it. It was obvious that Wu Li regarded her as the object of jealousy.

"Miss, since we can't find any evidence, why don't we set up a trap and report what Wu Li did to the general!"

"No need. We just got here and we don't know what the general thinks of Wu Li."

Wu Li had been with him for so many years, how could he not know what Wu Li was thinking? That was why she came here, and she was definitely not as good as Wu Li who had been with him for so many years.

Moreover, Cheng Wenwen felt that there was no need to ask a man to judge matters between women, as he was the culprit in the first place. If he was asked to judge, no matter who he helped, the other party would feel dissatisfied.

Besides, Wu Li has followed Qi Shuo since she was a teenager. In this era, a woman's youth is so precious. Qi Shuo has not given her a status for so many years. Instead, she has taken the position she has always dreamed of as soon as she arrived. She would obviously be jealous.

Cheng Wenwen could understand her to some extent.

I understand it, but what she did was indeed not very kind, and bad people will be struck by lightning.

But this matter is definitely not about seeking justice from Qi Shuo. After all, the jealousy and hatred between women are mostly caused by the man's philandering. Who would be willing to share a man with others?

So, Cheng Wenwen would never be with Qi Shuo, because once she became one of his three wives and four concubines, such things would happen more and more in the future, and her heart would become twisted because of jealousy.

She doesn't want to live like this!

"Go call Wu Li over. You don't need to tell the general about this. Just give her a warning."

He frowned and said, "Miss, you are too soft-hearted! I'm afraid Wu Li is not a good person!"

"We'll give her a beating this time. If she messes with us again next time, we won't be easy to bully."

Cheng Wenwen is willing to give Wu Li this chance, but only once. If she offends her again next time, she will not let her go easily.

He quickly called Wu Li over.

When Wu Li came here, she felt a little strange. Cheng basically never called her, so why did she call her here today?

Could it be about the wedding?

Thinking that she was about to get married to the general, she felt unhappy.

When Wu Li entered the house, she saw the girl leaning against the room, playing a kind of checkers she had never seen before. What she did and what she thought were all new and strange.

"Miss Cheng, what is it that you asked me to come for?"

Cheng Wenwen turned around and looked at Wu Li, smiling and asked, "Manager Wu, how old are you this year?"

Wu Li was old but still unmarried, so many people in the mansion laughed at her behind her back and called her an old maid. Age had always been Wu Li's sore point. When asked about it by the young and beautiful Cheng, she felt a little embarrassed and annoyed, thinking that she was deliberately humiliating her.

However, this person's status was there, so she couldn't get angry. She could only answer calmly: "I'm twenty-five this year."

"Oh……"

Twenty-five, in the eyes of a modern person like Cheng Wenwen, is actually not that big.

"I heard that you have followed the general since you were a teenager. This shows your loyalty to the general." Cheng Wenwen was the first to praise her.

Wu Li frowned slightly, not knowing what Cheng was going to say. She could only wait quietly.

Cheng Wenwen asked her again: "Do you have someone you like? If so, I will ask the general to arrange a marriage for you."

Wu Li raised her head suddenly and looked into Cheng's smiling eyes, and suddenly felt a little flustered.

"What's wrong? Manager Wu? Is it there or not?"

"No! No!" Wu Li replied quickly.

"Since there is none, forget it. I think it would be better for you to help the general deal with the affairs of the mansion. It would be good for you to stay in the mansion forever, but I am afraid it will delay your marriage."

Cheng Wenwen then said, "You have been with the general for such a long time, I believe you have a deep affection for him. If possible, it would be great if the general could marry you. You would also have a proper status and be in charge of things. I just don't know if you are willing to do that?"

When Wu Li heard Cheng Wenwen say this, she was shocked, but after being shocked, she also felt a little happy, and after the joy, she felt doubt.

Could Cheng be so kind?

Then she looked at He who was standing beside her. There was only disgust in her eyes when she looked at her, and she felt that this matter was not that simple.

"The relationship between the general and I is not what Miss Cheng thinks. Miss Cheng, please don't mention this matter anymore."

Cheng Wenwen was just asking, she was too lazy to waste her energy to help.

Then she got down to business, "I have enough staff here. Send me these two maids. I don't need them recently. Take them down and arrange new positions for them!"

Xiaolan and Xiaodie outside the door were very flustered when they heard this. Is Miss Cheng going to drive them away?

Wu Li also frowned and asked, "But they made Miss Cheng unhappy?"

"No, it's just that I'm used to using people close to me, and I trust their abilities, so I don't need anyone else to serve me."

trust?

Wu Li understood instantly.

This is suspicious.

But so what? Cheng Shi didn't report it to the general, so he didn't find any evidence. It was obvious that he was just trying to scare him.

Wu Li nodded and agreed: "Yes, I will take them down now."

When Wu Li was about to leave, Cheng Wenwen said to her, "Manager Wu, I like peace and quiet. I don't like to be bothered by messy things. I can't control other things in the courtyard, but I hope that my courtyard can be quiet. Do you understand?"

Of course Wu Li understood the implication of her words. It was simply telling her to stop!

But why is Cheng pretending to be noble? Doesn't she like intrigues? Isn't it because she is competing for the general's favor, causing the general to always have her eyes on her these days? She is just pretending to be noble. If the general doesn't like her and likes someone else one day, let's see if she can still be as indifferent as she is today. She will still try every means to win the general's favor like herself.

With this thought in mind, Wu Li turned around and went downstairs.

Xiaolan and Xiaodie hesitated and wanted to plead for mercy, but Wu Li in front of them scolded them, "Hurry up and leave!"

Xiaolan and Xiaodie had no choice but to follow.

"Manager Wu, are we really not going to Miss Cheng's place?"

"We finally got promoted to a certain level of personal maid, and now we're gone just like that?"

Xiaolan and Xiaodie obviously didn't want to leave.

Wu Li snorted: "They've chased you away, are you still going to stay here?"

"But why? Aren't we doing everything well? Miss Cheng never said anything wrong with us."

Wu Li felt that these two people were very stupid, and the worst thing about them was that they were their own people.

But she was not afraid of Cheng's suspicion when she did this. After all, every time she asked Xiaolan and Xiaodie to steal the secret recipe, she asked them to tell her orally.

Even if the matter is reported to the general, he won't be able to find out anything unless he investigates people outside.
