Liu Song was furious: "How despicable! You came to steal the recipe like this, and yet you still claim to be the number one restaurant in the capital."After being exposed, the five people began to quibble.
"We used to work as waiters at Fufeng Restaurant, but we were fired. Now that life is difficult, we naturally have to find new jobs."
"Hey, mate?" Yan Funing smiled. "This style is the style used by the chef at Fufeng Restaurant."
The man threw away the dish rag in his hand and said, "Since you have discovered us, so what? We are officially recruited as workers. At worst, we will quit and not ask for the wages for the past few days. What can you do to us?"
After saying that, he took the lead and walked away.
The remaining few people threw the rags on the ground and left.
Liu Chengwen and Li Xinheng tried to stop them but were stopped by Yan Funing.
"Sister, do you have any ideas?" Liu Chengwen walked back and lowered his voice.
"This kind of tricks are common in the restaurant circle in Beijing. What we need to do now is to take care of our own people first." Yan Funing frowned.
After watching them go away, Li Xinheng returned to the courtyard and said, "Miss, can't we report to the police?"
"There is a powerful force behind Fufeng Restaurant. I have to find out first." Yan Funing pondered and said, "I am afraid that the good business in the past month is just superficial."
Xiang Yang said: "It can't be just appearance, I'm busy every day, I can't see anything."
"We'll be able to find out the clues at noon." Yan Funing calmed down.
By lunch time, as expected, the number of customers dropped significantly.
After the meal, Liu Song calculated the turnover and showed it to Yan Funing.
"My dear, the customer flow has returned to the level it was a month ago, and is slightly higher than a month ago."
"More than a month ago, mainly because most of the shops on East Third Street are now open." Yan Funing analyzed, "The sudden doubling of business must be a scam."
"It turns out that Fufeng Restaurant has been causing trouble in the past month, and their target is our restaurant's menu."
Yan Funing speculated: "I'm afraid they not only want the recipes, but also want Chengwenlou to close down."
Liu Song asked anxiously, "Daughter, what should we do about this?"
"Uncle, leave this matter to me. Chengwen Building can continue business as usual."
If what happened at noon was an accident, to be on the safe side, Yan Funing stayed in Chengwen Building until the evening.
"The passenger flow in the evening has also decreased." Liu Song said.
"It doesn't matter if it decreases. We don't care about fake business." Yan Funing said, "Just return to the previous customer flow."
Liu Song was anxious: "I'm afraid Fufeng Restaurant has more tricks up its sleeve."
"Don't worry, uncle. I'll go back first and I'll definitely be able to handle this matter properly."
"Be careful on the road, girl."
"it is good."
When Yan Funing returned to the Duke's Mansion, Yan Bojian had just returned from the military camp.
"Third brother."
She called out, stopped to wait for him for a moment, and the brother and sister walked towards Nanyuan in unison.
"Sister, is there anything on your mind?" Yan Bojian asked after entering the wall of Nanyuan.
"The restaurant is in some trouble. Third brother, I asked you to help find the boss behind the Fufeng Restaurant. Did you find him?"
If the truth is uncovered, it will not only solve the restaurant's troubles, but also help Xiao Ajian get revenge.
"There are some clues." Yan Bojian said, "Late last night, the town police reported that the ostensible owners of Fufeng Restaurant were not actually the real owners. After a roundabout investigation, we finally found some clues."
"What are the details?" Yan Funing asked.
Yan Bojian lowered his voice and said, "He is from the royal family."
"No wonder." Yan Funing frowned.
"What trouble is the restaurant in?"
"Poaching and stealing recipes will make Chengwenlou's business impossible." After a slight pause, she continued, "I want to know the real owner of Fufeng Restaurant as soon as possible."
"Okay." Yan Bojian agreed, "It will be easier to investigate now that we have some clues. Give me a few days and I will give you news before the end of the month." "Thank you, Third Brother!"
"You're welcome what?"
Yan Bojian was in a very good mood.
You have to know that even though his sister already has a prime minister as her husband, she still comes to him for help. Does it mean that he, the third brother, is more capable and more important than Fu Ciyi in his sister's heart?
Absolutely!

Two days later, the fever on Doctor Wen's body had completely subsided.
She had been at the Fu family for three days but had never seen Fu's mother.
Especially in the early morning, Fu Nanyao and Fu Beimo sent people to the back house one after another, asking her to leave the Fu family quickly.
If she couldn't get Mrs. Fu's permission to stay in the mansion today, the brother and sister would probably kick her out.
Thinking of this, she plucked up the courage to look for him.
When Li Ma saw her coming to the inner courtyard, she stopped her and said, "You look much better now, but did you go back and tell me?"
"I wanted to come and thank my wife in person." As she spoke, the doctor fell to her knees. "I am homeless now. He beat and scolded me that day and threw me a divorce letter."
Madam Li was surprised when she heard this: "You've been divorced?"
The doctor nodded and said, "Please be kind and take me in, Madam!"
"Where are your family members?"
"There is no one left at my mother's house." The doctor kowtowed with tears in her eyes, "Please help me tell you, Madam, that my kindness in saving me is as great as a mountain. I am willing to stay by your side and work like a slave!"
"He is a miserable man."
Nanny Li's heart softened and she hurried over to Wan Niang.
"Madam, the woman has been divorced by her husband and there is no one in her family. What do you think?"
"Bring her here and I'll ask her." Wan Niang said.
Doctor Wen, who was kneeling at the gate of the courtyard, peeked into the room to see what was happening. Although she couldn't hear clearly, she seemed to have hope of staying.
Suddenly she noticed Nanny Li coming over, and she hurriedly continued to kowtow.
"Don't kowtow, your forehead is swollen." Li Ma said, "My wife wants you to come over."
"Thank you, mama!"
The doctor heard this and stood up, followed Nanny Li respectfully into the courtyard and into the house.
When she came to Wan Niang, she knelt down again and cried about her tragic situation of being beaten and divorced and kicked out of the house on a rainy night.
"My parents' family lives in another place, and there is no one there any longer. Now that I've been divorced, I really have nowhere to go. Madam, please be kind and let me stay!"
Wan Niang said gently, "Hurry up and get up. I need to discuss keeping you here with my son and daughter-in-law."
"Thank you, Madam!" Doctor Wen stared at Wan Niang's eyes, slowly stood up, and asked, "Madam, can't you see?"
"I'm sorry to make you laugh, but I'm really blind."
"Ma'am, don't say that. If he wasn't born blind, it's very likely that he can be cured."
"What you said is the same as what my daughter-in-law said."
"Young Madam knows medicine?" The female doctor was really surprised.
She lived in the Prince's mansion and usually didn't go out, and she had never heard the Prince say that Madam Fu was a doctor.
Wan Niang nodded: "Indeed."
"To be honest, I know a little bit about medicine, but my level is not very good. But I am the best at taking care of people."
After hearing what the female doctor said, he thought that he had to take action as soon as possible.
Fu Ciyi and his wife were not at the Fu family these two days, which was a good opportunity for her to take action.
At the very least, no matter how the siblings drove her away, with Mother Fu's help, she could still stay in the Fu family for a few more days.
Li Ma Ma smiled and said, "It would be great if there was a young man who knew medicine and I could take care of Madam together." (End of this chapter)
