Chapter 187: Chapter 57: Framing and Adding Misfortune, Secretly Ruining You

Confronted by so many malicious gazes, An Minxia could no longer hold back. After all, she was the noble daughter of the Duke of An Country, a county master personally conferred by the Noble Princess Consort. When had she ever been treated like this?

"Do not listen to her nonsense. Before my mother purchased that Elixir Pill, she didn’t know at all that it contained an Alcohol Worm."

Upon hearing this, Cui Family was frantic, hastily covering An Minxia’s mouth. But everything was already too late.

An Minxia’s words undoubtedly proved to everyone that the Elixir Pill was indeed given by Cui Family, and Hai Wuliang was merely a scapegoat.

The enraged public all swarmed around, and the guards from An Country Marquis Mansion had to form a human wall. They exerted all their strength to help Cui Family and An Minxia escape from the Immortal Inn.

A Alcohol Battle Conference that began with much fanfare ultimately ended with the Immortal Inn being defeated.

Lan Cai’er was also quick-witted. Seeing Cui Family and An Minxia flee in disarray, she immediately extended an invitation to Hai Wuliang.

Initially, Hai Wuliang was reluctant to agree, but after Ye Lingyue suggested that she could teach him the brewing method for the Rainbow Five Treasures Brew, Hai Wuliang merely pondered for a moment before agreeing to join Drunk Immortal Inn.

After all, having offended Cui Family, he could forget about staying in Immortal Restaurant any longer.

With Hai Wuliang’s addition, Ye Lingyue and Lan Cai’er were invigorated like a tiger growing wings; managing their Drunk Immortal Inn became even more adept.

Drunk Immortal Inn became the biggest winner, at least the Rainbow Five Treasures Brew gained fame in this Alcohol Battle Conference.

Come the next day, Drunk Immortal Inn, which was initially deserted, suddenly saw an influx of customers, keeping Ye Lingyue so busy she was spinning. On the third day, she urgently hired a new batch of handymen.

Among the visitors, each and every one of them specifically demanded the Rainbow Five Treasures Brew, even the taverns that had previous drink orders with Immortal Inn and some official families from Xia Capital started placing orders with Drunk Immortal Inn.

With this group of customers, Drunk Immortal Inn’s business soared, which made Lan Cai’er’s eyes crinkle into slits from smiling.

"Ling Yue, this time we really have you to thank for discovering the Alcohol Worm. Otherwise, if we had lost to Immortal Restaurant, Drunk Immortal Inn would have been finished. But on another note, how did you know there was an Alcohol Worm inside that Elixir Pills? I’ve never heard of such a thing."

"Alcohol Worm, what Alcohol Worm?" Ye Lingyue was playing with Little Wuya, not even lifting her head when Lan Cai’er mentioned it.

She simply placed that so-called "Alcohol Worm" in front of Little Wuya. Seeing the chubby Little Insect, Little Wuya pecked with her mouth and swallowed the "Alcohol Worm" in one gulp.

"Aye, isn’t that..." Lan Cai’er blinked, watching Little Wuya eat merrily.

"What you just mentioned, this is just an ordinary worm that couldn’t be more ordinary, just something I caught on a whim." Ye Lingyue scoffed, she had merely used spiritual power to find a random worm in Hong Meng Heaven. While casually crushing the Elixir Pill, she sneakily inserted it inside, then bluffed a few words, flustering Hai Wuliang and the Cui mother and daughter team.

However, the Alcohol Worm does indeed exist, but that was something Ye Lingyue had chanced upon in a handbook of the Hong Meng Fang Immortal. It’s just that the Alcohol Worm is not a Poisonous Insect, it is a Divine Worm that can instantly turn plain water into fine wine, an invaluable treasure.

Ye Lingyue was telling a lie, but if it weren’t for Cui Family having a guilty conscience, she would not have had the opportunity to act.

Regarding all that talk of guts ripping and cults, it was all just deceit.

Lan Cai’er was left speechless.

It seemed that all of them had been swindled by that girl Ling Yue.

If the Cui Family and An Minxia knew the truth, they would probably be so angry they’d actually suffer from ruptured guts. In fact, the mother and daughter of the Cui Family were indeed greatly weakened by this incident.

Ever since the Alcohol Battle Conference at Immortal Restaurant, the business of Immortal Restaurant plummeted, and what’s worse, Hai Wuliang took a group of brewers from Immortal Restaurant and defected to Drunk Immortal Inn.

This was undoubtedly a fatal blow to Immortal Restaurant.

The brothers from Cui Family’s maternal home also took this chance to create trouble, demanding that Cui restore the money she had misappropriated from Immortal Restaurant over the years, or else they would drag her to court.

To pacify this turmoil, Duke An had no choice but to fill the financial gap for Cui.

But even though the money was replenished, Cui’s status in An Country Marquis Mansion had plummeted. Without the backing of Immortal Restaurant, Cui could no longer contend with Madam.

These days, the eyes of Duke An’s servants when they looked at the Cui mother and daughter were different.

"Mother, when will you let me leave the mansion? Lan Cai’er and that Ye Lingyue have made us suffer so much; I will not let them get away with it." An Minxia had been ordered not to leave An Country Marquis Mansion since that day, and she was seething with anger.

"Minxia, what are you thinking of revenge at a time like this? Let me ask you, what do you know about Ye Lingyue? Why do I hear that she is the second young mistress from Lan Residence, who has recently been conferred the title of Commandery Princess and is deeply favored by the Empress Dowager?" Cui, after a thorough analysis, felt that the trouble with Drunk Immortal Inn all pointed toward that girl called Ye Lingyue as the prime culprit.

A nameless village girl not only brewed a top-grade alcohol like Rainbow Five Treasures but also knew about Alcohol Worms, and what’s more surprising, her capacity for drink was like a bottomless pit.

Think about it, if it weren’t for Ye Lingyue, Immortal Restaurant would never have lost this time. The thought that she, who had slung it out in the business world for so many years, would actually lose to a green girl, made Cui’s heart ache.

And she could not lay a finger on Ye Lingyue directly, given that Ye Lingyue was the newly titled Commandery Princess, openly protected by Prince Feng Heir Qinghai, and in secret, acquainted with the unpredictable Ghost Emperor.

"She’s not any second young mistress from Lan Residence; she’s clearly just a country bumpkin from a small family in Li City. When my daughter first encountered her, Lan Cai’er never said that was her second sister." An Minxia felt a pang of jealousy when remembering how Prince Feng had looked at Ye Lingyue with favor.

"There must be something odd about all this." Cui harbored doubts about Ye Lingyue’s origins but dared not jump to conclusions.

After all, Lady Lan’s maiden name was indeed Ye, and the couple would certainly not rashly acknowledge a stranger as their daughter.

"Mother, why don’t we have someone investigate?" An Minxia suggested.

"You need not worry about these matters; I will have someone look into it. You should focus on the upcoming flower-viewing event hosted by Noble Princess Consort Luo, as standing out there is what you should be concerned about. Our mother-daughter duo’s status in An Country Marquis Mansion has sunk to a low; whether I have a future in my latter years depends entirely on you," Cui advised earnestly.

An Minxia listened without expressing any agreement or disagreement.

As soon as Cui began to suspect Ye Lingyue’s identity, she immediately sent someone to investigate. For the sake of caution, Cui also specially hired two organizations at a high price to investigate Ye Lingyue’s background, but what she never expected was...
