My whole family sucked my blood; after being reborn, the little cook went on a killing spree.

Su Wan Ning didn't want to explain anything right now. Seeing Xu Ling Xi winking at her, she could only give him a look to indicate that everything was fine.

The group didn't stay at the Li family's house for long.

The Crown Prince didn't come for the Third Madam, but to visit the Ancestor. The two exchanged a few words.

Su Wanning went to the mourning hall to offer incense, and then the group said goodbye and returned to their shop.

"This has exhausted me."

The sixth prince rushed back to the capital from Qingshan County, traveling through the night. He finally managed to rest for a day, but the crown prince dragged him back again.

In other words, the Crown Prince was in poor health and dared not travel too fast, but it was still much faster than usual by carriage.

Su Wan Ning closed her shop today to go to the Li family's house, and even saw Su Tang off. She led the two of them in through the back door. "You two rest first, I'll go buy some groceries."

"it is good."

The crown prince looked dejected as he surveyed the small courtyard.

It's clean and tidy, lush and green, and much cooler than outside, making it quite comfortable.

Su Wan Ning didn't buy any big fish or meat dishes, only a chicken and a bunch of green vegetables.

"That's it? You're giving this to us?"

The sixth prince, though full of anticipation, sounded extremely disappointed.

"You two must be tired from your journey, so you should both eat something light and simple."

Su Wanning removed the skin and bones from the chicken, and then used the chicken bones to make soup.

Start by simmering chicken broth, then begin kneading and letting the dough rest. While the dough is resting, add the chicken to the pot.

The chicken should be placed in a pot of cold water with only a few slices of ginger, and simmered until cooked through.

Once the chicken is cooked, remove all the fat and tendons. Shred the chicken thigh meat into slightly larger strips and the chicken breast meat into thin strips along the grain. Set aside for later use.

By this time, the dough had risen properly.

Divide the dough into small balls and stretch them into thin noodles, each one as thin as a hair.

Once the chicken broth has a rich aroma, strain it into a small earthenware pot and add the thin noodles.

Thin noodles don't need to be cooked for too long. When they are about 70-80% done, you can add the blanched bok choy and shredded chicken.

Boil over high heat for a few moments, then immediately remove from heat and serve with only a small amount of salt and sesame oil.

The sixth prince, who had just complained that chicken and vegetables were too simple, was now swallowing hard and couldn't wait to bring the noodles to the courtyard.

The prince, who had been waiting in the courtyard, was also tempted by the aroma.

To his surprise, his stomach, which hadn't reacted for a long time, suddenly twitched a few times... Was it because of the aroma? Really? Was he hungry?

When the noodles are served, only a few drops of sesame oil float on top of the chicken soup, their unique aroma making the soup even more fragrant.

The ingredients in the bowl were divided into three distinct parts.

The vibrant green bok choy, the snow-white, silky noodles, and the pale yellow shredded chicken were all neatly and cleanly coiled in the same direction, making for a truly pleasing sight.

The crown prince couldn't help but swallow.

It has both color and aroma!

He picked up his chopsticks and first took a piece of thin noodles.

The noodles were cooked to perfection; although they looked thin, not a single one broke when touched with chopsticks.

Upon tasting, the first aroma is the simple fragrance of noodles.

But once you start chewing, you realize that because the noodles are very thin, each strand is soaked in chicken soup, and your mouth is filled with the aroma of chicken soup. Because the soup is very clear, all the chicken oil has been skimmed off, so it's not greasy at all!

Upon closer inspection, there's also a subtle, refreshing taste of green vegetables.

The prince felt completely comfortable.

Before she could even swallow the noodles in her mouth, she picked up a few more pieces of green vegetables and put them in her mouth.

The sixth prince, who had just returned, was completely stunned.

Is this still the same anorexic prince? No, how come he's eating so heartily?

The sixth prince quickly sat down and stuffed his mouth full of meat, noodles, and vegetables with his chopsticks.

The crispness of the vegetables, the freshness and elasticity of the meat, and the smoothness of the noodles create layers of flavor that spread and overflow from the lips and teeth. The delicious and comfortable sensation quickly rises to the top of the head and then spreads to every part of the body.

To be able to make such simple ingredients so delicious, Su Niangzi is simply a genius!

The Sixth Prince was even angrier at Lin Yuwei. If it weren't for her causing trouble inside, his elder brother wouldn't have suffered so much. When they got back, he would definitely settle the score with her.

The two of them completely abandoned any semblance of princely decorum, wolfing down their food before realizing that Su Wan Ning had somehow sat down opposite them, watching them with a smile.

Crown Prince: "..."

The Sixth Prince: "..."

The prince's ears were burning, but fortunately the secret guards he had sent out returned at that moment.

The man in black knelt down and bowed. "We have found Lin Yuwei's family, and the thugs have confessed that Lin Jiabao ordered them."

The Lin family of three was found in Feng Shi's cellar.

Courtyards in the county town all followed certain rules, and no one expected that Feng Shi would secretly dig a cellar in his home.

He was beaten at the Li family's house and lost such a good job, so he hated Lin Mao and his son.

After capturing Lin Mao and Li Shi, they hid them in the cellar. Later, when Lin Jiabao returned, he sent someone to deliver a message, luring the people there, and locked them up as well.

It is said that when the family of three was found, they were in a particularly terrible state.

Lin Mao was already covered in wounds, all of which were festering. It's likely that Feng Shi was afraid of killing him off too easily, so he kept torturing Li Shi.

But Li also had a head injury, and now she couldn't even speak properly.

Although Lin Jiabao was arrested for the shortest time, Feng Shi hated him the most. He was beaten so badly that there wasn't a single unscathed piece of flesh on his body, and the ground was still wet with several basins of salt water next to him.

At that time, many guards rushed in. Lin Jiabao was still breathing, so they thought they were saving him. But he was locked up again. It was like falling from heaven to hell. He went crazy and shouted, "My sister is the Crown Princess. Who dares to touch me?"

This sentence is quite remarkable.

Adding to Lin Yuwei's actions in the palace, this family dared to plot against the Crown Prince, and their crimes are truly heinous.

"They will surely be severely punished. Lady Su can come back to the capital with me. With your skills, you are qualified to be the head chef of the Crown Prince's palace."

The crown prince wanted to take the person back immediately.

But Lady Su is now a law-abiding citizen, not a palace maid, so he can only entice her with bribes.

"Thank you for your kindness, Your Highness."

Su Wanning shook her head. The Lin family's revenge had been avenged, so whether she returned to Kyoto or not didn't matter anymore.

But in her previous life, the Li family tortured and killed her, and she still hadn't found out who it was. Moreover, the shop had just opened, so she still had to stay in Qingshan County.

Unable to persuade her, the crown prince simply decided not to go back.

The Sixth Prince had no choice but to escort the Lin family back himself to deal with them, and he also had to inform the Empress and the others about the Crown Prince staying in Qingshan County to recuperate.

From then on, a large Buddha statue appeared in Su Wanning's shop.

However, he dared not reveal his identity as the crown prince, so he disguised himself as a shop assistant, attracting many young women and wives in the city to come and see.

Since we're here, we can't leave empty-handed.

The shop's business has reached new heights.

Xu Lingxi bought all the courtyards next door, renovated them, and turned them into a large restaurant. Every day, he would follow Su Wanning to research food recipes, and then buy the recipes and give Su Wanning 50% of the profits every month.

Su Wanning already enjoyed doing these things, and with free money coming in, she was happy to cooperate with her.

The old matriarch would occasionally come to the shop in person and teach her many secret recipes from the imperial court.

Sigh, I have no choice but to learn it, this whole thing is a mess.

As for Li Xuzhi, the patriarch discovered that he had set fire to the Feng family's courtyard and found a secret room in his house filled with silver, as well as a bed made of silver!

The old matriarch nearly fainted from anger, finally realizing that the parasite in the Li family all these years was this sickly-looking grandson.

They beat Li Xuzhi half to death and left him to fend for himself in the woodshed.

Su Wan Ning also remembered that the strange fragrance she smelled on Li Xuzhi was the smell of silver... Li Xuzhi sleeps in piles of silver every day, no wonder he held a grudge against her for puncturing the ham!

Fortunately, it's all over now.

As for the silver that Li Xuzhi had saved, it was confiscated by the ancestor. Half of it was confiscated and the other half was used as shares to support Xu Lingxi and Su Wanning's restaurant.

With such a large sum of money, the two of them immediately doubled the size of the restaurant.

Su Wan Ning continued her research on medicinal cuisine and interviews, while Xu Ling Xi chose to embark on a journey to all parts of Rongguo. Whenever she encountered a suitable shop, she would buy it, turning half into Wan Tang Restaurant and the other half into a restaurant.

Before parting, Xu Lingxi finally confessed that she was not from this world.

To be precise, she had a recurring dream since childhood in which she lived in another world—a beautiful and advanced world. As she grew older, she spent more and more time in that world, and gradually she came to believe that it was her true home, and that this place was merely a place where her soul had "traveled" due to instability.

Until, in her dream, she was hit by a car while saving a kitten, she never dreamed about that world again.

Su Wan Ning was astonished. No wonder Xu Lingxi always had some novel terms and knew so many strange and unusual dishes.

But what about the book she saw in the Imperial Study?

That fire burned everything to the ground.

The crown prince had also investigated, but found nothing.

Su Wan Ning gave up. She had avenged her great grudge, and now she had a shop, money, and time. She was already very satisfied!

As for the Crown Prince always looking at her with starry eyes, she pretended not to see it.

Who told him to marry Lin Yuwei in his past life?

Until one day, the Crown Prince had a long dream. When he woke up, his eyes were red and swollen. "I didn't! Wan Ning, in my past life I only pretended to marry her to find out everything, but when I found you again, you were already..."

His voice choked with emotion, "It's all my fault, I was too late. Later, I tore the Lin family to pieces!"

"……oh."

Su Wan Ning shrugged and left; she was more interested in the new products in the shop!

The Crown Prince? Hmph, not forgiving him yet!
