Chapter 1362 - 195, Hatred Penetrates to the Bone (second update)_2
Following the voice, he indeed saw a young maid of about ten years old. Despite her age, she possessed an extraordinary demeanor, even steadier than the young ladies he had encountered.
Though it wasn’t mealtime yet, Dong Tian’s business was always booming. At this moment, the hall wasn’t solely occupied by Lu Chong, so Lin Yuan didn’t notice that she was being watched and went straight to the third floor to inspect the Glaze in Dream Kingdom.
"Interesting."
Lu Chong smiled and expressed some interest in the cooking competition that Cheng Haoxuan had mentioned.
In Capital City, the rumors about the Chen family spread far and wide, eventually even reaching Lady Jiang, who had not left her residence for a long time. And like Chen Leyao, she too attributed the blame to Lin Yuan.
However, luckily, Chen Leyao was sensible. After this incident, she, who had always seen herself as the legitimate daughter and carried herself with superiority, seemed to have matured overnight.
As Lady Jiang was clamoring to go to Lin Mansion to settle scores with Lin Yuan, Chen Leyao coldly held her back, "Mother, have you not come to your senses yet? This matter wasn’t caused by Lin Yuan. Think about it, although the rumor spreader deliberately erased Lin Wei and Ruochu’s involvement, it was excessively deliberate. If your daughter guesses correctly, the real mastermind behind this should be the Wu Family."
The Wu Family!
Lady Jiang finally came to a realization. Yes, ever since the price war that day, Lady Du hadn’t shown herself. Logically, after taking on the business of two thousand taels of silver from Lin Yuan, she should have come to flaunt it to her. But this time Lady Du hadn’t come, there must be something fishy.
"It must be that Lady Du!" Lady Jiang cursed angrily, "Daughter, thankfully we have you, otherwise, Mother would have definitely been tricked by the Wu Family again."
