The system favors me so much, I get eight meals a day while escaping from famine

Of course, a gangster like Brother Hu didn't dare to offend Shopkeeper Tian. He could only curse him in his heart, but his expression was extremely flattering. "Shopkeeper, that damn girl also asked you to send a few strong fighters next time, otherwise it won't be enough for her to practice."

Shopkeeper Tian was infuriated by the arrogant words. "What a great Jiang family! I must teach them a lesson and let them know who they should mess with and who they can't mess with!"

Brother Hu smiled flatteringly, "Of course, who is Shopkeeper Tian? He is the shopkeeper of the largest restaurant in Beijing. It is not easy to deal with such a family."

Shopkeeper Tian also looked down on hooligans like Brother Hu. He took out a piece of silver from his sleeve and threw it on the ground, "Take it and drink. Don't let anyone else know what I asked you to do, otherwise... you know my methods."

Brother Hu picked up the silver and nodded repeatedly, "This matter is known only to heaven and earth, you and me, and will never be known to anyone else."

Shopkeeper Tian turned around and left before he could finish.

Brother Hu weighed the silver and left happily.

It was less than ten o'clock when Jiang Qingyi and her friends returned home. Mrs. Jiang knew something was wrong from the looks of her son and daughter-in-law. She whispered to the old man next to her, "Old man, the eldest brother and his family came back so early. I'm afraid something must have happened."

After she finished speaking, she put down her needlework and walked over to Wang and asked quietly, "Eldest Wife, what happened? Why did you come back so early today?"

Jiang Dashan quickly put down his things and said, "Mom, she's scared. Let her go back and rest first. I'll talk to you."

Old Mrs. Jiang nodded. Although she didn't know what happened, she still comforted him, "Old Master's wife, go back to your room and rest first. We can talk about anything later. As long as you are okay, it's good."

Wang didn't react much. She forced a smile at the old lady and went back to the house.

Chen was braver, but she also looked scared, so Old Lady Jiang asked them to go back and rest.

Afterwards, Jiang Dashan and the two elders explained what happened today, including the incident where Jiang Qingyi chased away the thugs.

After listening to this, Old Lady Jiang took Jiang Qingyi to check on her, and only felt relieved after confirming that she was fine.

Jiang Qingyi stood at the door of the main house with her hands folded in front of her chest. "Today's incident was most likely caused by Shopkeeper Tian from Zhenxiu Pavilion. Unfortunately, we have no evidence, so we can only give those hooligans a good beating."

Old man Jiang sighed with a sad face, "These days I have also inquired about Zhenxiu Pavilion, the second largest restaurant in Beijing. I heard that the person behind it is a royal relative. How can we fight against such a person..."

Jiang Dashan was also very excited. "Are we really going to let them do this? They can do such a thing even if we don't sell them the formula! If it weren't for Xiaowu, we wouldn't know if we could come back safely."

Old Mrs. Jiang couldn't help shaking her hands when she heard this. "Let's stop doing business. Is that ok..."

Jiang Qingyi spoke up to break Mrs. Jiang's fantasy, "Grandma, even if we don't do this business, do you think that Shopkeeper Tian will let us go? Since he has set his eyes on our family's recipe, he will definitely find ways to get it. He has someone behind him, so he probably won't care about our family's life or death!"

Seeing that his wife was frightened by these words, Old Man Jiang reached out and stroked her back, "Xiao Wu, you have an idea, tell me how to deal with this matter."

Jiang Qingyi pondered for a while, "Let's not do this business for the time being, unless we find a bigger backer than the one behind Shopkeeper Tian."

Old man Jiang waved his hand, "Then we can only stop doing business for now. Boss, go look for a place these two days. We will buy a few acres of land outside the city. We can plant crops directly after the spring. Our family still has to continue to live, right?"

Jiang Dashan was very unwilling, but he had to listen to Old Man Jiang. After all, what Xiaowu said was right. They had no power and could not even defeat the official manager of Zhenxiu Pavilion, let alone the people behind them.

Zhao Jing, who had been secretly paying attention to the Jiang family, soon learned about this matter. He once again went to the palace to see the second prince.

"See Your Highness."

Sikong Zhuxuan raised his head from behind the desk and asked, "What's the matter?"

"The Jiang family seems to be in some trouble."

Sikong Zhuxuan said calmly, "I helped you solve the problem when you encountered it. Do you still need to ask me?"

Zhao Jing explained the whole story with a hesitant look on his face, and finally said, "The person behind this Zhenxiu Pavilion is the cousin-in-law of the eldest prince's uncle. Look at this..."

Sikong Zhuxuan seemed to have not heard the point clearly, and instead asked, "What do you think of the stewed food business that the Jiang family is doing? When can you get it for me to taste?"

Zhao Jing was full of black lines on his head, and emphasized, "Your Highness, the Jiang family doesn't seem to plan to continue this business. I think the Jiang family seems to be planning to buy land."

Sikong Zhuxuan put down the book in his hand and said, "The dog around my brother is too arrogant."

Zhao Jing asked curiously, "Your Highness, do you have a solution?"

"Don't I have a small farm of more than 60 acres of land outside the city?"

"Have!"

"Go and make some arrangements to sell the farm to the Jiang family."

"I don't understand why Your Highness wants to do this. Although the farm is not big, the harvest every year is also good."

"Why are you asking so many questions? Just do what I tell you to do."

"I obey your command. Does Your Highness have any other instructions?"

"No, you go back."

……

A few days later, the small farm of more than 60 acres that originally belonged to the second prince was transferred to Jiang Qingyi's name, and Jiang Qingyi only spent 900 taels of silver.

Everyone in the capital is a shrewd person, especially since this matter is related to the prince.

After Tian Hongye learned about this, cold sweat broke out on his forehead in the middle of winter. The Jiang family was actually related to the second prince. If the second prince knew what he had done before, the master behind him would definitely not offend the prince for him. What should he do?

Tian Hongye still believed that the Jiang family didn't know what he had done and had no intention of going to their house to apologize.

On the other hand, the emperor was also concerned about the movements of his son's private property, so he called the second prince to the imperial study.

After learning that Jiang Qingyi had saved the Second Prince's life twice, cured the Queen Mother, and even provided a solution to the troublesome plague, he became furious when he heard about what had happened to the Jiang family.

The emperor slammed the table and said, "I can't believe that someone would do such an outrageous thing right under my nose!"

"Father, please don't be angry. I think the shopkeeper just likes the recipe too much, but the method he uses is a bit radical."

"Why did Zhu Xuan give the manor under your name to the Jiang family?"

"The man behind the Treasure Pavilion is the cousin's husband of my brother's uncle. This has something to do with my brother. I am only trying to compensate the Jiang family. The Jiang family doesn't know why I am doing this, but it won't hurt the royal family's reputation."

There was no expression on the emperor's face, he waved his hand and let the second prince leave.

After that, the emperor summoned the eldest prince again, found a reason to scold him, and reminded him to manage his subordinates well.
