Transmigration: The Little Chef Calls The Shots-Chapter 827 - 109 An Yixiang (second update)

Since partnering with the Drunken Immortal Residence, the business of An Family Winehouse had leaped forward by leaps and bounds, standing uniquely distinguished in Yecheng and already catching much attention in the Capital city.

An Yixiang sipped a bit of the newly brewed wine from the winery, tasted it gently, and nodded her head in satisfaction.

"Has he left? That one, um, what was that young master’s name?"

When she asked, the steward who brought the wine bowed respectfully and replied, "Young Master Wuhen has already left. This morning when the servants opened the doors, they only found a letter on the table, and the bedding was already cold; he must have left quite early."

Speaking of the letter, An Yixiang couldn’t help becoming somewhat annoyed. She knocked her wine cup on the table and huffed with disdain, "Hmph! Leaving a letter! What makes him think he’s someone of substance—coming here from the Capital city to Yecheng—I have never heard of any Young Master Wuhen. He actually sees himself as quite the figure, daring to leave me a letter criticizing our winehouse’s wine isn’t good enough! This really infuriates me!"

The steward also held Young Master Wuhen in contempt and sneered, "Family Head, please calm your anger, in my opinion, he’s just a swindler from the Martial World addicted to drink. He must have come after hearing about our An Family Winehouse’s reputation, just looking to scrounge a few drinks. There’s a saying I must remind the Family Head, it’s better to offend a gentleman than a villain. Young Master Wuhen has the look of a shameless rogue. Please don’t stoop to his level, otherwise, if he goes out and speaks nonsense, it could damage the reputation of our An Family Winehouse."

An Yixiang had taken over An Family Winehouse at fifteen, so naturally, she understood these principles. She waved her hand indifferently, "Forget it, as you said, he’s just a charlatan from the Martial World, let him go. However, once you go back, make sure to strengthen our security, we can’t allow this pervert to come and cause trouble in our wine cellar again!"

"Yes, Family Head," the steward bowed and accepted the order, but inside he was extremely annoyed with Young Master Wuhen. He couldn’t believe that the pervert could find the wine cellar, which was such a hidden place.

What was even more infuriating was that he had set up various traps in the wine cellar, yet this fellow managed to drink lavishly without triggering a single one. If it weren’t for a servant with a keen nose who smelled the wine, they wouldn’t have even noticed him!

As the steward cursed Young Master Wuhen inwardly and cautiously withdrew, he was relieved that this time the incident with the young master had preoccupied the Family Head, or else with Wuhen gone, wouldn’t he be the one to blame?

As soon as the steward left, An Yixiang lost interest in dealing with the winehouse’s affairs and got up to go to check on her son in the back house. But before she could move, the gatekeeper reported that Shopkeeper Wu from Fragrant Full Building had arrived for a visit.

An Yixiang’s feet stopped involuntarily. Wasn’t Fragrant Full Building closed? And wasn’t that Shopkeeper Wu locked up in prison on the day her son was poisoned? How had he been released in just one day? And coming for a visit right after getting out—their visit wasn’t simply to pay their respects, were they here to show power against her, An Yixiang?

"Let him in! I have to see what gave Shopkeeper Wu the audacity to stroll the streets so boldly, when food and drink in his own restaurant were poisoned!" An Yixiang’s eyes narrowed as she settled back into her chair, her expression unreadable.

When Lin Yuan and Xia Zheng followed Shopkeeper Wu into the parlor, they couldn’t help but be taken aback by the woman seated there. It wasn’t that An Yixiang was exceptionally beautiful—if it came to looks, she could only be considered slightly above average—but from the way she sat, she exuded an indescribable sense of authority, such that even the worldly Xia Zheng couldn’t help but take special notice of this woman.

Shopkeeper Wu quietly signaled the two with a look, "What do you think, isn’t this woman extraordinary at first glance?"

Suddenly, Lin Yuan remembered what he had told her about this woman’s rise to power, and couldn’t help but sigh. Indeed, women could be more fearsome than men when they became ruthless.

"Master of An Family," Shopkeeper Wu bowed, and although it was still unclear who was to blame for the poisoning, from the current looks of it, they were at a disadvantage. Shopkeeper Wu’s demeanor had become much more mild.

But An Yixiang didn’t afford him a pleasant expression. She scoffed coldly, "Oh, if it isn’t Shopkeeper Wu from the Fragrant Full Building? Out so soon? I wonder, Shopkeeper Wu, did you give Fragrant Full Building to Wang Hong, or did you send your daughter away?"

"You!" Shopkeeper Wu was left speechless and choked by her words, his face turning red with anger.
