Chapter 62 Panic
Yu Zhe was transferred back to the capital and was promoted from a seventh-rank county magistrate to a fourth-rank Vice Minister of the Court of Judicial Review, causing a sensation in the capital.
Upon hearing this, Shangguan Chengfeng was stunned, then flew into a rage.
Back then, he went to great lengths to get Yu Zhe to Yi County. He originally thought Yu Zhe would die on the way, or die in Yi County. At the very least, he would stay in Yi County for ten or eight years, with no chance of advancement in his life.
Who would have thought that this kid would have such incredible luck? In just two years, he's been transferred back to the capital! Being transferred back to the capital wouldn't normally be a big deal; according to the proper procedures, it would at most mean a promotion of one rank, from a seventh-rank official to a lower seventh-rank official. Who would have thought it would be a full fourth-rank official?!
The Vice Minister of the Court of Judicial Review—that's a very good official position, in charge of handling criminal cases. Who knows, this kid might target someone from the Shangguan family in the future; that's a huge potential problem!
When Shangguan Chengfeng returned home and told his wife, Cao Shi, she was terrified. From then on, she lived in constant fear.
After all, Shangguan Chengfeng was now just an ordinary citizen, the kind who was shunned and disliked by his relatives and friends. Cao herself didn't have many friends either; it was all because she hadn't known how to behave in public before.
Now, if Yu Zhe wanted revenge, it would be incredibly easy. Crushing Shangguan Chengfeng would be as simple as crushing an ant.
Shangguan Zhihua was also terrified. Proud and proud, she didn't want to end up with her family destroyed and unable to even live the life of an ordinary person.
No! I must hold onto Xiao Fan tightly. Even if I can't become a concubine, I can at least become a secondary consort! As long as I have a title, once I give birth to healthy children for Xiao Fan, I'll have a place in the Prince's mansion. In the future, I can rise in status through my children and even become the Crown Prince's wife!
But how can I make Xiao Fan treat me differently?
That's right! Wine! She can make wine!
But it's only early April, and grapes won't be ripe until at least early June. Oh dear, two more months to go! How am I going to get through this?
Zisu was unaware that Shangguan Zhihua had already set her sights on wine. However, even if she did know, there was nothing she could do. She truly knew nothing about how wine was produced.
Three months later, she finally learned about the wine from Jiang Shichang's letter, and also learned that it was Shangguan Zhihua's doing. After reading the letter, she smiled and dismissed it, appearing nonchalant.
Very well, let's give Shangguan Zhihua a taste of sweetness. Otherwise, how can she climb up to Xiao Fan? If she doesn't climb up to Xiao Fan, how can she experience the pain of falling from the clouds into the mud?
Shangguan Zhihua, in my past life you colluded with Qian Fengqin, causing my demise. In this life, I will absolutely not let you have an easy time! Dream on if you want to live a happy life with Xiao Fan!
To counter wine, Zisu developed yellow wine, which is essentially glutinous rice wine. She also suggested to Jiang Shichang, "Uncle Jiang, besides yellow wine, the restaurant could also offer fruit juice. I believe that with yellow wine and fruit juice, we can, to some extent, suppress the popularity of wine!"
Jiang Shichang pondered for a moment, then laughed heartily, "Zisu girl, you are truly my lucky star and the savior of Good Days Restaurant! Your suggestion is excellent, let's do it this way!"
The secret recipe for the yellow wine was decided by the eldest princess, who gave Zisu ten thousand taels of silver!
