Chapter 219 The Origin of Peach Blossom Dessert

Seeing the little maid hesitating, Madam Cai asked impatiently, "Doesn't the shopkeeper know our Zheng family?"

The maid's face was slapped by Xu Zaohua, and it hurt. She looked at Xu Zaohua and then at Aunt Cai timidly, and stammered, "I recognize you."

Aunt Cai sneered.

If you recognize it, please serve the hazelnut pastry to me quickly.

"Good job, Shopkeeper Feng."

Since he knows the Zheng family, it seems that the shopkeeper of Sushiyuan has also been taken over by Taohua Dessert.

Okay, Manager Feng, you were so miserable when you were kicked out of the Meng family. If it weren’t for the master’s cousin Ma Ming who gave him a way out, he would have fallen into the mud long ago.

Thinking of this, Madam Cai wanted to point at Manager Feng's nose and scold him for being ungrateful.

She didn't even think about what Manager Feng, as the shopkeeper of Ma Ming, had done to the Zheng family.

The little maid opened her mouth, wanting to tell Madam Cai that the owner of Peach Blossom Desserts was Butler He, not Butler Feng.

But now she was caught between the young mistress and the senior nanny, and she didn't dare to speak rashly.

Xu Zaohua glanced at Nanny Cai.

Although she and Taohua Dessert are irreconcilable, the little maid's cold reception from Taohua Dessert was a slap in the face of Madam Cai.

She felt a surge of satisfaction in her heart.

Xu Zaohua started to mock Madam Cai, saying, "Madam, didn't you say that there are no shops in Pingchuan County that don't pay the Zheng family's bills? But Taohua Dessert doesn't pay the bills. As the saying goes, a strong dragon cannot defeat a local snake. The Zheng family's reputation is useless in Yanguan Town. Madam, you have stayed in the Zheng family's backyard for a long time and think that the whole world belongs to the Zheng family. I am young, but I would like to advise Madam not to make promises casually in the future. It doesn't matter if you lose face, but it will be bad if you lose face for the Zheng family."

After hearing this, Madam Cai wanted to refute, but for a moment she didn't know how to start.

He just glared at the little maidservant fiercely.

I hated Manager Feng even more.

At the same time, he wondered what the origin of Taohua Dessert was and why it didn't buy into the Zheng family's business.

Then she wanted to calm down. She couldn't rush into the shop for a confrontation. She had to find out where the Peach Blossom Dessert came from first.

This shop was able to take over Sushiyuan, which shows that its background is not ordinary.

Thinking about how Xu Zaohua had just asked her if she knew who owned Taohua Dessert, Xu Zaohua must have known, which was why she asked this question.

"Madam, Madam..."

"Young Madam, I would like to ask you where this peach blossom dessert came from. How dare you be so arrogant and ignore our Zheng family?"

Matron Cai interrupted the little maid hastily, saying that she was so tactless and deserved to be slapped by the young mistress.

There was a smile on Xu Zaohua's lips.

Matron Cai became more and more arrogant and domineering, even when asking her for advice on Xu Zaohua's problems, she acted condescendingly.

Xu Zaohua didn't intend to make a fuss about it with Madam Cai.

Because she wanted to see Aunt Cai and Peach Blossom Dessert fighting each other.

Whoever loses, she considers it revenge; whoever loses, she is happy.

Xu Zaohua curled her lips, deliberately showing disdain, and said, "Mammy, you are joking. What is the origin of this peach blossom dessert? The owner of the shop is from the same village as my mother's family. She used to be very poor in the village. It was only after her son passed the imperial examination that she started to sell cakes in the town. I don't know what good luck she had that she opened a shop a few months ago."

The owner of this shop and Xu Zaohua are both from Qinghe Bay, so he definitely doesn't have any background.

Country people are narrow-minded and think it is great if a child scholar appears in their family.

Her master is a juren who has a say with the prefect. If they bring up her master's name, wouldn't that be enough to crush them?

Aunt Cai became more excited.

"I'm going to meet Shopkeeper Feng. I want to ask if he knows the Zheng family. It would be best if I could meet the owner of Peach Blossom Dessert as well. I want to ask if her son still wants to take the exam to become a scholar."

The little maid was extremely anxious and wanted to say something, but was glared at by Xu Zaohua.

Xu Zaohua continued to add fuel to the fire and said, "Oh, by the way, Madam Cai, I suddenly thought of something. I'm afraid the owner of this shop is an old acquaintance of our Zheng family. Maybe Madam Cai has seen him too."

Nanny Cai looked at Xu Zaohua.

Since you are an old acquaintance, why don’t you tell me who you are?

Nanny Cai couldn't think of anyone in Qinghe Bay who was familiar with the Zheng family except the Xu family.

Even if the daughter of the Xu family married into the Zheng family, if Xu Zaohua had not been pregnant, I'm afraid even the Xu family would still be strangers to her.

Seeing that Aunt Cai couldn't remember Tong Huaqiong, Xu Zaohua smiled and reminded her, "Aunt Cai, do you still remember Widow Tong from Qinghe Bay?"

Nanny Cai thought for a long time, frowned, and an expression of astonishment filled her face.

Is this Peach Blossom Dessert opened by that unreasonable widow Tong?

How can this be.

"Madam, don't disbelieve me. You will know if you ask around. I passed by Widow Tong's house this morning and she seemed unhappy. The reason I talked to Gu Jingzhe was to check out Widow Tong's shop. Since I married into the Zheng family, Widow Tong is my enemy."

Xu Zaohua took the opportunity to dispel the doubts that Aunt Cai had about her and Gu Jingzhe.

"So when Xiao Que said that Taohua Dessert didn't recognize the Zheng family, it wasn't because our Zheng family wasn't famous enough, it was because Taohua Dessert didn't take us seriously at all. I heard from my husband that Widow Tong went to the Zheng family to break off the engagement and made a scene. My husband was deeply humiliated. If it weren't for Widow Tong's scene, maybe my husband's illness would have been cured."

Xu Zaohua took the opportunity to remind Aunt Cai that Tong Huaqiong brought the shame of broken engagement to the Zheng family.

Provoked by Gu Taohua, Madam Cai got off the carriage without caring about anything.

Last time at the Zheng family, no one was mentally prepared for Widow Tong's pestering, which led to them being at a disadvantage.

This time, she would definitely not let Widow Tong be proud.

The store won't be smashed for her.

"Mammy, the owner of Peach Blossom Dessert is Butler He."

The little maidservant finally couldn't help shouting out. She was afraid that if she didn't tell about Butler He, if the Young Madam became embarrassed, she would be the first to suffer.

Her face couldn't withstand a second slap.

What's more, the young mistress is pregnant. If anything happens to her that is provoked by housekeeper He, the master and the mistress will be the first to beat her to death.

Aunt Cai stopped and asked in confusion, "What shopkeeper is He?"

Xu Zaohua's eyes widened. She felt guilty when she heard Butler He. She couldn't help but raise her voice and asked, "What do you mean Butler He?"

The little maid gritted her teeth and said, "Madam, Madam, Butler He is the owner of this shop."

Aunt Cai blurted out: "Are you sure you didn't see it wrong?"

The little maid felt very aggrieved. Which servant in the Zheng family didn't recognize Butler He?

How could she be wrong?

Butler He even talked to her and could call out her name accurately. Butler He told her that if Madam Zheng wanted to eat hazelnut pastry, she would have to pay for it. He was the shopkeeper of Peach Blossom Desserts, not the owner. If he were the owner, he would give it to her for free.

Butler He had fallen to the point of being the manager of a pastry shop in Yanguan Town.

Aunt Cai snorted.

She and Butler He, one is a senior figure in the inner house who came with the lady's dowry, and the other is the chief butler of the Zheng family. It is inevitable that there will be friction between the two of them.

When Madam Cai heard that Butler He was the owner of Peach Blossom Desserts, she became even angrier.

How could He Chao not know that Xiao Que was a maid in the Zheng family? How could he treat his old employer like this?

Kicking someone when they are down is Aunt Cai’s spiritual principle in dealing with her opponents.

Aunt Cai became excited and wanted to humiliate He Chao in person.
