Siheyuan, I became a commercial tycoon in the culinary world

That night, the moonlight shone through the cracks in the courtyard, but failed to dispel He Yuzhu's boredom.

After a busy day, he was already a little uneasy because of various trivial matters.

Suddenly, he slapped his head and remembered that he forgot to lock the door of the cellar. There were some precious ingredients and items stored in the cellar. If someone accidentally broke into it or it was robbed, it would be troublesome.

So, He Yuzhu hurriedly put down the work in his hands and walked hurriedly towards the cellar.

When he approached the entrance of the cellar, he heard a faint rustling sound. He Yuzhu was puzzled and slowed down his pace. He approached quietly, trying to figure out where the strange sound came from.

A familiar female voice sounded, full of helplessness and resentment: "Old Yi, what should I do? Jia Zhang is getting more and more mean to me now, and I can't live like this anymore..."

The voice belonged to none other than Qin Huairu.

He Yuzhu was shocked. Why was Qin Huairu here? And from her tone, it seemed that she was talking to someone about her predicament.

Then, Yi Zhonghai's voice came, full of concern and comfort: "I know you have suffered these days. Be patient for a while, and then I will think of a solution."

There was a special kind of warmth in Yi Zhonghai's words, which made He Yuzhu even more confused.

Qin Huairu let out a long sigh, and that sigh seemed to be filled with endless sorrow and fatigue.

Then, she asked softly, "Old Yi, I have something to discuss with you. Jia Zhang always feels that Xiao Dang is not their Jia family's flesh and blood. Sooner or later, our affairs will be exposed..."

When He Yuzhu heard this, he felt his head buzzing, as if struck by thunder. He never thought that there was such a secret between Qin Huairu and Yi Zhonghai.

Yi Zhonghai's voice came again. He chuckled, with a firm tone in his voice: "Don't worry, I know what to do. I won't let you and Xiaodang suffer...." Qin Huairu nodded gently, and seemed to feel a little relieved.

He Yuzhu stood there, his heart in turmoil.

He never expected that Yi Zhonghai and Qin Huairu had been hooking up with each other for a long time.

Poor Jia Dongxu always thought that his master was kind to his family in order to provide for his retirement, but he didn't know that he had already been given a green hat, and he was completely unaware.

In this way, the death of Jia Dongxu in the original work is also closely related to Yi Zhonghai.

In this way, the death of Jia Dongxu in the original work is also closely related to Yi Zhonghai.

He Yuzhu's heart was like a huge rock thrown into it, causing a storm. He stood there, with a myriad of thoughts in his mind, constantly recalling the various plots in the original work and the conversation he had just overheard.

Jia Dongxu, the man who had been working hard silently in the courtyard, was so pathetic.

However, he had been deceived by his master for many years and had always respected Yi Zhonghai, regarding him as a benefactor and elder, but he did not know that he had already fallen into a huge conspiracy.

He trusted Yi Zhonghai wholeheartedly, thinking that his master's kindness to his family was only out of consideration for his retirement, but he never imagined that behind that seemingly kind intention, there lay such an unbearable truth.

And in the end, he actually died at the hands of Yi Zhonghai. What a sad ending!

He Yuzhu couldn't help but feel deeply sad for Jia Dongxu, for his ignorance and simplicity, and for the tragedy of his fate.

However, He Yuzhu quickly calmed down.

He thought to himself, although this matter was shocking, how much did it have to do with him?

In this courtyard, he was just trying hard to survive, dealing with all kinds of open and covert struggles and calculations.

He looked at these people like beasts, who would do anything for their own benefit, and couldn't help feeling disgusted.

But at the same time, he also understood that there was no need for him to get involved in this mess. It would be best if these beasts calculated their own plans and fought each other to the point of mutual destruction.

By then, they will have no time to take care of other things, and I might be able to profit from it and reap the benefits. Why not do it?

The corners of He Yuzhu's mouth rose slightly, revealing a sly smile.

He decided to remain silent and watch the farce that was about to take place in the courtyard with cold eyes, waiting for the most favorable opportunity to come.

However, just as He Yuzhu was about to turn around and leave, the faint voices of conversation floated into his ears again.

The voice came from Yi Zhonghai and Qin Huairu, and it seemed to carry a mysterious aura that made He Yuzhu stop involuntarily.

"Don't worry, I will definitely do what I promised you. When the time comes, just stay in the Jia family safely and don't worry about other things."

Yi Zhonghai's voice was low and firm, as if he was making a solemn promise.

Then, he added a few more words, his tone full of concern, "Also, I will definitely do what I promised you, and I won't let you down."

When Qin Huairu heard this, a hint of joy flashed across her face. She hurriedly said, "Okay, Lao Yi, I believe you." Her voice was full of expectation and dependence.

He Yuzhu couldn't help but feel a strong curiosity in his heart. What exactly did Yi Zhonghai promise Qin Huairu?

He pricked up his ears, hoping to hear more clues, but he saw that the two men stopped talking, and instead heard the sound of footsteps approaching.

He Yuzhu knew that they had finished talking and was ready to leave.

He quickly hid in the darkness, holding his breath, not daring to make a sound. At this moment, he seemed to have become an invisible observer, nervously waiting for the next development.

All I could hear was a clang, the sound of a wooden board being pushed. In the quiet night, the sound was particularly clear.

Then, Qin Huairu was heard complaining coquettishly: "My hands are so sore..." There was a hint of fatigue and coquettishness in her voice.

Yi Zhonghai comforted her lovingly: "Don't worry, it will be fine soon..." His voice was surprisingly gentle.

Hearing this, He Yuzhu suddenly realized that Yi Zhonghai was actually massaging Qin Huairu's hands.

This discovery made him feel a complex emotion, including surprise and confusion.

He quickly moved forward a few steps, carefully avoiding the gazes of Yi Zhonghai and Qin Huairu, and continued to squat there and eavesdrop.

"Ouch... it hurts..." Qin Huairu suddenly cried out in pain, and then her body tilted and fell to the ground.

This sudden change made He Yuzhu's heart suddenly rise.

He almost rushed over to expose the couple, but he finally held back.

"Be careful!" Yi Zhonghai was quick to reach out and support Qin Huairu, and without hesitation, he picked Qin Huairu up by the waist. That gesture was full of care and love.

"Are you okay?" Yi Zhonghai asked with concern. His voice was low and magnetic. It was the first time that He Yuzhu saw another side of Yi Zhonghai.

"No, it's okay, let's go quickly! Don't let Sha Zhu find out that we are dating in his cellar..." Qin Huairu was a little nervous, with a slight tremor in her voice.

Her face was full of worry, as if she was afraid that the secret would be discovered.

"He won't find out. He doesn't even know I can unlock the door..." Yi Zhonghai answered in a low voice, his tone full of confidence.
