Just as everyone was murmuring their admiration, a young girl, with a smile, slowly walked to the center of the stage, holding a plate. Her way of walking was very particular, with straight legs and delicate feet, her steps seemed to be on a straight line.

Someone softly said, "She walks like a cat, so pretty," and others couldn’t help but echo in agreement. Indeed, the young girl’s steps were like those of a cat, lazy and cute, looking so beautiful!

The men’s eyes were all on the girl’s gait and face, while the women’s eyes were all on the girl’s legs and feet, wondering how she walked and how a little twist of her hips might make it look even better.

Even Tang Ruyan couldn’t help but take a few more glances, her feet involuntarily moved.

The young girl walked to the front of the stage, stood in the most graceful position, and then gently extended the tray forward, smiling, "Fresh milk and japonica rice porridge, a bowl before sleep to keep you vigorous and make your complexion glow."

After saying that, the young girl turned a beautiful circle on the spot, then stepped back to her original position with cat-like steps.

"Oh, so this is called fresh milk and japonica rice porridge!"

Finally, everyone’s attention was drawn back to the tray in the young girl’s hands, and they remembered that they should be focusing on the Health Preserving Medicinal cuisine.

As the first young girl walked back to her halfway point, the second girl came out with a smile, still with the same gait, the same smile, and the same elegance and delicacy, only this time, the dish on the tray was different.

The young girl said with a smile, "Rose pork trotter, regulates qi, unblocks meridians, and dissolves blood stasis."

Immediately after, more than a dozen girls came forward one by one, each roughly introducing the medicinal cuisine recipe and its effects in their hands.

"Donkey-hide gelatin and glutinous rice porridge, nourishes the yin and supplements the void, moisturizes the lungs and secures the fetus."

"Four things black fungus soup, nourishes and activates blood, regular consumption makes the complexion rosy and skin delicate."

"Angelica duck soup, nourishes the liver and kidneys, enriches the blood and regulates menstruation."

...

A total of twelve Health Preserving Medicinal cuisines, leaving everyone dumbfounded. The men stopped looking at the young girls, and the women stopped studying their walking, as everyone was now captivated by the trays in the girls’ hands and the unheard-of dish names.

Only after the last girl announced the dish name did these twelve girls stand in a row and walk forward in unison, then they formed a V-shape on the stage and looked at everyone with smiles brimming on their faces.

Shopkeeper Wu took the stage in a timely manner and once again promoted the Health Preserving Medicinal cuisine of Fragrant Full Building. It wasn’t until his speech ended that everyone started chattering excitedly, and some impatient people had already entered the shop to claim the best seats.

Watching the crowd rush into the entrance of Fragrant Full Building, Zhao Hongsheng’s face grew even more sullen.

Feeling the unwelcoming chill emanating from him, Tang Qing couldn’t help shivering and very consciously stood up from the chair and quietly retreated to one side.

Before he could call his daughter over, Zhao Hongsheng began to speak in a low voice, "Didn’t you say your strategy was absolutely effective?

Did you not say that even if they cleared their name, their business couldn’t recover anytime soon?

Didn’t you say that by taking advantage of their downtime, a slight trick would completely crush them? Huh? Why are you silent now?"

Zhao Hongsheng’s questions followed one after another, his voice growing louder and his tone more aggressive, causing Tang Ruyan to shiver and collapse to the ground with weakness in her legs, "Your Highness, please forgive me, your servant didn’t consider all aspects thoroughly and disrupted your Highness’s plans.

Please forgive me and give your servant a chance to redeem herself through meritorious deeds. "

"Redeem yourself through meritorious deeds?" Zhao Hongsheng sneered coldly, "What do you plan to do to redeem yourself? Find another foolish woman to poison her husband?"

Tang Ruyan turned a shade paler, her fingertips digging deeply into her palm, pinching hard to force herself to stay calm, "Your Highness, please forgive me, I was negligent with Luomeiyan’s case.

I thought bribing Luomeiyan’s martial brother’s neighbor would settle everything, but unexpectedly, it still failed in the end. "

"So." Zhao Hongsheng’s face was frosty, and his voice as cold as ice piercing into the bones, "Next time, don’t show mercy where it doesn’t belong. If someone shouldn’t exist, they should be made to disappear forever."

Tang Ruyan’s neck stiffened; was he suggesting that she should have killed Luomeiyan’s martial brother?

"Sir Tang says you are a ’Zhuge’ in the boudoir, but in my opinion..."

Although he didn’t finish his sentence, the contempt and disdain in Zhao Hongsheng’s tone were blatantly obvious.

Tang Ruyan’s body swayed slightly, and she suddenly remembered the night he said he wanted to marry her as his concubine; looking back now, it seemed that at the time, he was probably just probing.
