Yin Zheng hosted a banquet at the Nine Regions Gourmet Gathering, attempting to persuade the envoys from Jinchuan and Daichuan to sign a contract and implement a new currency. The two envoys were initially reluctant to discuss this matter, but after hearing Yin Zheng’s words, they suddenly understood the benefits and promised to report the matter to their respective lords. After the talks, Yin Zheng specially kept the two colleagues to carefully savor the lavish dishes.

Li Wei prepared the restaurant’s signature dishes and personally delivered them to the room. Yin Zheng introduced Li Wei to his colleagues, mentioning that she was also a co-owner of the restaurant. Li Wei felt a bit embarrassed and was about to leave, but Yin Zheng held her hand and gestured for her to sit.

Yin Zheng continued to explain that the previous Renbin Banquet was managed behind the scenes by Li Wei and that today’s Nine Regions Gourmet Gathering was an extension of that banquet. The colleagues were surprised and raised their glasses to toast Li Wei. Li Wei was very thoughtful, specially preparing dishes from their hometowns. Over the meal, everyone talked very harmoniously. Meanwhile, the tenth young master cried and complained to Yin Song.

Yin Song was angry, worried that the sixth young master would eventually step on him. Unexpectedly, Hao Jia came over to persuade Yin Song to calm down. Whether from anger or drunkenness, Yin Song took his frustration out on Hao Jia and harshly pushed her to the ground. Zhao Fangru saw the situation was bad and quickly intervened to stop him, so Hao Jia was not seriously harmed.

Hao Jia was finally able to go out but had to do as Yin Song instructed and go to the restaurant to gather information. Hao Jia sincerely regarded everyone as friends and openly revealed the reason for her visit. The sisters didn’t mind and let Hao Jia freely taste the food. Hao Jia couldn’t help but have tears well up in her eyes. At that moment, she truly understood what genuine affection was.

Before, she thought it was enough to rely on a man to live, but now she realized how ridiculous those thoughts had been. Li Wei accidentally noticed the scars on Hao Jia’s hand and worried about her situation at Yin Song’s residence. The sisters were outraged and stood up to confront Yin Song. Hao Jia hurriedly stopped them, unwilling to put her sisters at risk. Everyone sat down to discuss and decided to help Hao Jia escape.

But no one expected Hao Jia to be pregnant. Upon learning of Hao Jia’s pregnancy, Yin Song’s face showed great joy. But his happiness was not because he had a love child with Hao Jia; rather, he was hoping Hao Jia would bear him a legitimate eldest son. Hao Jia was very clear about this. However, she never expected Yin Song to plan that once the child was born, he would hand the child over to another concubine to raise.

Hao Jia’s heart grew even colder, as if falling into a frozen wasteland, the chill pressing from her heart all the way down her spine. To sabotage the girls’ business, Yin An even opened a rival shop across the street and tried to poach staff from the Gourmet Gathering. Fortunately, the girls had prepared for this and did not let him succeed. Haitang couldn’t help but ask Yin An where his blind confidence came from.

Yin An was furious, gritting his teeth and storming out. Thus, the couple quarreled over the price of dishes, with Yin An finally winning by offering a 30% price. Yuan Ying was unfazed upon hearing this, having already thought of a countermeasure. To attract customers, the girls planned to start with the dishes and designed many new dishes. Many diners came by reputation, and the Gourmet Gathering quickly became packed and lively.

Yin An was annoyed and went outside to argue with the girls. At that moment, Yue Heng, the Marquis of Wanxiang from the Household Registration Office, suddenly visited and announced that the Gourmet Gathering would be under his control from now on. The girls were displeased and confused but had no immediate solution. After announcing the new arrangements to the girls, Yue Heng did not idle but went to mediate between the third young master and Haitang.

Yue Heng pulled the third young master aside and talked about how to get along with his wife and how to manage the restaurant. The third young master listened, dazed. After Yue Heng left, he finally came to his senses, realizing how annoying he had been before.
