441 The Food Is Not Edible
Seeing that Su Yanyu was in a difficult spot, his lackeys naturally had to speak up for him. They had done this kind of thing countless times in the past.
However, after the lackey finished speaking this time, not only did he not get a good look from Su Yanyu, but he was even slapped by him. “What nonsense are you talking about? Miss Liu is magnanimous. Why would she have something against me?”
Su Yanyu couldn’t smile because he patronized the Suzhai Pavilion a lot. Although the vegetarian food here was more expensive than meat and even more expensive than the imperial feast, he still liked to dine here.
Hearing Liu Sanniang say that he would lose more than he could gain, he wanted to cry.
Recalling how Miao Yin slowly transformed into a terrifying monster, Su Yanyu immediately became nervous. “Miss Liu, help me. I don’t want to become like Miao Yin…”
He was afraid of death and becoming a monster.
Before Liu Sanniang could speak, the Daoist nun who brought Liu Sanniang to see Hui Zhen came over.
Her expression was cold. “Miss Liu, I don’t know how we offended you, but why are you defaming us like this? Suzhai Pavilion only provides vegetarian food. Why do you say that the food is not edible?”
Suzhai Pavilion had always been a quiet place. The conversation between Su Yanyu and Liu Sanniang could be heard by everyone in the surrounding rooms. If word got out, it would be a big disgrace to Suzhai Pavilion.
After the Daoist nun finished speaking, she said gently to Su Yanyu, “Lord Su, don’t worry. We will definitely not serve people with unclean and stale ingredients. These vegetarian dishes have all been blessed by our master. They carry the cleanest spiritual energy.”
Su Yanyu waved his hand coldly. “Shut up. I only believe Miss Liu.”
The lackeys following Su Yanyu were also stunned, but they were used to it. Su Yanyu had always been unpredictable. This was his style.
The Daoist nun said lightly, “Your Lordship, you are a frequent customer of Suzhai Pavilion. If you’re worried about the ingredients, I can take you there to take a look. You should know the benefits of eating vegetarian food here.”
Spiritual energy could nourish one’s body.
Su Yanyu scoffed at the Daoist nun. “Before Miao Yin became a monster, she was also a famous goddess in the capital. Legend has it that she could revive the dead and save lives. But what happened in the end?”
Many people did not know about these things. After all, it would cause unrest if word got out that someone could bring the dead back to life. However, Su Yanyu was very curious about it. After the prayer meeting, he asked around relentlessly and found out that people who were cured by Miao Yin had to pay a price.
The price was someone’s life. What was Miao Yin? She was a monster, a disgusting and rotten thing. However, before Liu Sanniang exposed her, she was a goddess, a being not to be profaned.
After seeing her turn into a monster with his own eyes, Su Yanyu felt disgusted whenever he recalled that scene.
Suzhai Pavilion only served vegetarian food, but when the food was filled with spiritual energy. It made one feel rejuvenated and happy. It was a comfortable feeling.
But who knew what the food was really made of.
Su Yanyu shivered and his expression turned even uglier.
The Daoist nun frowned. Su Yanyu had a high status in the capital. If he said anything negative about Suzhai Pavilion, it would cause them to lose a lot of customers immediately.
The Daoist nun looked at Liu Sanniang coldly and said to Su Yanyu, “Your Lordship, please wait a moment. Master Hui Zhen happens to be here. This matter is very important. Miss Liu, please don’t leave.”
The Daoist nun looked at Liu Sanniang and turned to walk quickly into the corridor.
As a matter of fact, she hoped that Liu Sanniang would leave. If she did, it would be easier to deal with this matter. She could just say that Liu Sanniang deliberately defamed Suzhai Pavilion.
Su Yanyu looked at Liu Sanniang. “Miss Liu, are you really going to wait for Master Hui Zhen here? Master Hui Zhen… is quite capable.”
Liu Sanniang nodded. “Yes, I will wait.”
No matter who or what it was, nothing and no one was invulnerable. It was the same with Hui Zhen.
Eliminating the evil source also required certain opportunities. These opportunities might be found through anyone and even an insignificant matter could become a trigger.
There was an opportunity through Su Yanyu.
Since Liu Sanniang said she would wait, Su Yanyu would not leave either.
The man behind Su Yanyu lowered his voice. “Your Lordship, are we really not leaving?”
Su Yanyu looked at Liu Sanniang and lowered his voice as well. “I’m not leaving. I still want to wait for Miss Liu to save me. She is the most unique psychic I’ve ever seen. Her words can’t be wrong.”
Su Yanyu had mixed feelings. He hoped Liu Sanniang was wrong. He was a foodie, but he had never thought that there would be such a price that came with being a foodie.
What happened to the villagers of River Village had taught him something very different. After he returned to the capital, he became far more well-behaved because he was afraid of karma.
Now, Su Yanyu hated Suzhai Pavilion to the core. He felt extremely uneasy. He had eaten so much at this place recently. What had he lost and what would be the price he had to pay?
He wasn’t going to leave. He wanted to ask Liu Sanniang for help.
Hui Zhen came out very quickly with a gloomy face. She pursed her lips, and the expression on her face was terrifying. “Miss Liu, you say the food in Suzhai Pavilion is not edible. If there’s a problem, please show me the evidence.”
Su Yanyu was taken aback by Hui Zhen who looked like a furious old witch.
Liu Sanniang looked at Hui Zhen. “The food looks clean, but it’s actually rotten and laden with sin. When one swallows it down, how can one not be affected?”
Every word Liu Sanniang uttered made Su Yanyu panic and want to cry.
Hui Zhen’s expression was cold. “Miss Liu, it seems like you are determined to defame Suzhai Pavilion, but your empty words are nothing. If Miss Liu can’t prove it, then I can only see you in the court today. The capital is not a place where you can throw accusations at whoever you like.”
Hui Zhen narrowed her eyes. Liu Sanniang couldn’t possibly have hard evidence against her. Even if she could not kill Liu Sanniang today, she could at least humiliate her.
