Chapter 220 False Accusation of Peach Blossom Dessert
When Xu Zaohua heard that Butler He was the owner of Taohua Desserts, she panicked.
Her hand unconsciously touched her belly.
She was not sure whether He Chao knew about her borrowing a child.
All she could do was to take preemptive action so that He Chao could never speak or make He Chao lose the trust of his parents-in-law.
She couldn't do the former, but she did the latter easily.
She tricked He Chao into the eldest son's room in the inner house, slandered He Chao for peeping at him taking a bath, and nailed He Chao to the pillar of shame.
After He Chao lost his reputation and left the Zheng family, she still did not dare to relax and sent people to secretly monitor He Chao.
There is always a loophole, and He Chao disappeared from Pingchuan County out of thin air.
No matter how much he planned, he never expected that He Chao would get involved with Widow Tong.
"Madam, you'd better not go." Xu Zaohua softened her voice to Madam Cai.
She was afraid that He Chao would really discover what was going on between her and the servant and tell it to Madam Cai.
He Chao lost the trust of his parents-in-law, but Aunt Cai did not, and the person his mother-in-law trusted the most was Aunt Cai.
Matron Cai had always looked down on her. In addition, Young Master Zheng had been raised by Matron Cai since he was born. Matron Cai treated Xu Zaohua more like a mother-in-law than Madam Zheng did. She secretly criticized Xu Zaohua and always fanned the flames and said bad things about her in front of Madam Zheng.
Ever since the death of Master Zheng, Nanny Cai has become even more unhappy with Xu Zaohua.
He always reminded Mrs. Zheng that it was Xu Zaohua who killed Mr. Zheng.
If she hadn't been pregnant, she would have been bullied by a nanny and had no idea what to do.
If Madam Cai knew about her affair with the servant, she would probably instigate the Zheng family to hang her to be buried alive with the eldest son of the Zheng family.
"Why can't you go? What is the young lady afraid of?"
Nanny Cai looked at Xu Zaohua with a smile.
When Xu Zaohua said that He Chao peeked at her taking a bath, Aunt Cai didn't believe it.
He Chao is not that kind of person.
Otherwise, why is it said that people who understand their competitors can only be their opponents?
Matron Cai guessed that there must be some hidden story behind this, but the master and the mistress were bewildered by the child in Xu Zaohua's belly, and they easily believed what Xu Zaohua said and drove He Chao out.
Nanny Cai was naturally happy that He Chao left the Zheng family, but that didn't mean she was grateful to Xu Zaohua.
She now wanted to go to Taohua Dessert to confront He Chao. It would be best if she could humiliate He Chao while getting some information from him that was unfavorable to Xu Zaohua.
Killing two birds with one stone is really great.
Xu Zaohua was a little flustered, and she forced a smile and said, "Mammy, you know why Butler He was kicked out of the Zheng family. If this matter gets out, I, a widow, don't want to be disgraced. Anyway, I will stay in the Zheng family all my life, but it will damage the reputation of the entire Zheng family and the reputation of my deceased husband."
Xu Zaohua felt a little regretful for instigating Aunt Cai to cause trouble at Taohua Dessert.
If this matter really got out, Xu Zaohua didn't know what impact it would have on Widow Tong, but it could have a life-and-death impact on Xu Zaohua.
Matron Cai didn't take Xu Zaohua seriously at all. She felt that Xu Zaohua should be buried with the eldest young master.
How could Xu Zaohua's few words of reputation stop Madam Cai?
So Aunt Cai turned around and went to Peach Blossom Dessert.
"Hey, isn't that Xu Zaohua's carriage? Is that nanny the nanny from the Zheng family?"
Gu Taohua has been learning from He Chao how to be a good shopkeeper at Taohua Dessert Shop 2 these days. At this moment, she was coming to the town from Qinghe Bay. When she saw the Zheng family's eye-catching carriage and Aunt Cai who got off the carriage, she had a bad feeling.
Xu Zaohua has a lot of bad intentions and is probably going to do something bad to Taohua Dessert and He Chao.
Gu Taohua got off the donkey cart and ran towards Taohua Dessert.
Xu Zaohua couldn't stop Aunt Cai from being angry and anxious. When she saw Gu Taohua's figure, she suddenly had an idea and shouted, "Taohua Dessert is a profiteer. I ate the hazelnut crisps from Taohua Dessert and got an upset stomach."
"Ouch, ouch, my stomach hurts."
Xu Zaohua covered her stomach and screamed in pain.
Since there is no way to stop Madam Cai from confronting He Chao, she might as well muddy the waters.
Let Gu Taohua and Madam Cai deal with it. I'm sure He Chao would not be too embarrassed to come out and see Madam Cai after getting the news in the shop.
That way she would be safe.
Xu Zaohua's voice attracted everyone's attention.
Xu Zaohua was afraid that her story of borrowing sperm would be discovered by Shopkeeper He, and she was so nervous that her face turned pale. Plus, she was covering her slightly protruding belly, which made it hard to suspect that she was acting.
Aunt Cai just had no reason to cause trouble for Taohua Dessert.
Just use the excuse that Xu Zaohua had diarrhea after eating peach blossom dessert.
As for them not buying hazelnut crisps, who saw that?
Will customers believe the clerk’s confession 100%?
If the Peach Blossom Dessert caused a hazelnut crisp diarrhea incident, firstly, the Peach Blossom Dessert business would be affected and Widow Tong would suffer a setback, even if she was avenging her wife and the dead young master. Secondly, He Chao would lose his foothold in Yanguan Town.
He Chao is now involved with Widow Tong, which makes Madam Cai firmly believe that the breakup of the engagement between Widow Tong's granddaughter and the eldest son of the Zheng family was planned by He Chao.
She couldn't help but think of He Chao's advice to the eldest young master that letting a little girl get married would not mean the end of his family line.
Widow Tong must have been instigated by He Chao to come and break up the engagement.
The eldest master is gone, and He Chao is also responsible.
Maybe when Manager Tong's granddaughter went to get married, the eldest master was still alive and well.
Aunt Cai came to the entrance of Taohua Dessert, stood in the queue and said, "My young mistress got an upset stomach after eating the hazelnut crisps from this shop."
Gu Taohua had already rushed to the side of Madam Cai at this time.
She really wanted to slap Aunt Cai to the ground.
But she can't, because she is now the second in command of Taohua Dessert, and in everyone's eyes, Aunt Cai is a customer of Taohua Dessert.
She couldn't be violent with customers.
"Madam, when did you buy the hazelnut cookies from my store?"
Gu Taohua remembered what Tong Huaqiong taught her: don't panic when encountering problems, but face them head-on.
The more you evade, the more you will lose the trust of your customers.
As long as there is no problem with the quality of Taohua desserts, they are not afraid of customer questions.
At this time, a clerk in the shop heard the noise outside and waved at Gu Taohua from the door.
Gu Taohua understood that Xu Zaohua didn't buy the hazelnut cookies at all.
This is a false accusation.
Since it was a false accusation, she had a way to deal with it.
Aunt Cai said calmly, "This morning, I asked your shopkeeper He Chao to come out and talk."
Gu Taohua is in a dilemma. She is not playing by the rules. She is here to cause trouble for Manager He.
She must not push Manager He out. If the nanny revealed the fabricated story that He Chao peeped at Xu Zaohua taking a bath, He Chao would probably not be able to stay in Yanguan Town.
Gu Taohua held back her anger and said, "Madam, I am the second in command of Taohua Desserts. You have something to tell me. Look, the shop has prepared some good tea. Let's go to the shop and talk."
Madam Cai put her hands on her hips and said, "Second Master, what's wrong? I won't talk to you, a girl. Let the owner of your shop come out and talk. If you ask me to talk in the shop, who knows if you will cover your mouth."
Then he looked around and said to the customers in line, "This shop has made my young lady sick. How dare you queue up? The owner of this shop is probably obsessed with money. I don't know what low-quality ingredients he used in the hazelnut pastry."
Almost all the customers queuing up are from Yanguan Town and the surrounding areas.
Naturally, most people didn't believe what Auntie Cai said. After all, Taohua desserts had never had any quality issues since they started as a roadside stall.
After opening the shop, Tong Huaqiong strictly required everyone to pursue quality.
Tong Huaqiong always emphasizes that food is the most important thing for people, and the food we eat must be clean and hygienic.
But no shop can guarantee that there will never be problems. The most important thing is how to solve and resolve the problems when they occur.
Gu Taohua was trained by Tong Huaqiong on many strategies to solve various problems, but she still couldn't withstand the deliberate smear campaign.
As long as one person believes that there is a quality issue with Taohua desserts, word will spread from one to ten, and from ten to a hundred.
This will cause more people to doubt peach blossom desserts.
What is false can also become true.
Especially for imported items, people tend to believe that the rumors are not groundless.
