"Li Xiu Zhen, can you do me a favor?"
"Sure, just tell me what you need. We don't need to be formal with each other!"
As they were about to leave, the man told Wang Xiuli to meet him tonight. Can you keep an eye on that? I want to know who that man is!
"Don't worry, I've got this covered!"
Xu Zhuzhen was also quite impatient; without waiting for Yu Songyu to finish speaking, she hurriedly rushed out.
It was getting dark and almost time for bed when Xu Zhuzhen finally came back to find Yu Songyu, panting heavily.
"Xiao Yu, I saw clearly that Wang Xiuli went into Wang Lai's house. I waited at the door for a long time but didn’t see anyone come out!"
"Wang Lai?"
Yu Songyu thought for a moment and finally recalled something about him; his house seemed to be not far from her grandmother's old residence.
After sending Xu Zhuzhen off, Yu Songyu claimed she was too tired and returned to her room to turn off the lights.
She instantly teleported back to the old residence, right in front of Wang Lai's house.
To her surprise, the front door of Wang Lai's house was not locked, allowing her to easily slip in through the window.
Inside the room, she could hear a woman's moans and a man's heavy breathing; it was obvious what they were up to.
Yu Songyu listened for a while and confirmed that the voices belonged to Wang Xiuli and that man. The two seemed very in sync, their sounds making one blush. If she scared them now...
A smirk appeared on Yu Songyu's lips as she picked up a large stone from the yard and threw it hard into the room. There was a loud thud followed by Wang Xiuli's piercing scream.
Satisfied with herself, Yu Songyu dusted off her hands and returned to her space.
There was no rush in dealing with Wang Xiuli; she wanted to take her time. Right now, she was more eager to see Lai Fu and Lai Cai, her two little pups.
When the two little dogs saw Yu Songyu arrive, they wagged their tails excitedly and rushed over, eager for hugs.
Yu Songyu picked one up in each arm and played with them for a while. Seeing that it was still early, she decided to go modern-day shopping for the tools and ingredients needed to make fresh flower cakes.
The sweet rose jam mixed with petals from her space and low-gluten flour released a delightful aroma as she combined them.
The prepared flower filling was evenly divided into small balls weighing about ten grams each.
Yu Songyu then took out some flour and began making the cake skin according to the tutorial on her phone.
Flour, sugar, and lard were mixed together until smooth, and then the dough began to be kneaded. Once the dough was well-kneaded, it was covered with plastic wrap to relax while she prepared the shortening.
She mixed low-gluten flour with lard evenly, divided it into small balls weighing a few grams each, and let them rest for a few minutes. The freshly made flower pastries were placed in the oven, set to upper and lower heat, and baked for a few minutes until done.
Looking at the freshly baked flower pastries, Yu Songyu felt a surge of accomplishment and couldn't resist sneaking one. Fortunately, it didn't ruin the petals; with each bite, not only did it leave a delightful flavor in her mouth, but she could also feel a surge of energy flowing through her body.
Carefully wrapping the flower pastries, she glanced at the time and realized it was already late at night. She forced herself to go back to sleep.
In the village, there was a local bully named Hu Hai, a true troublemaker. His ancestors were Executioners, and he relied on his imposing stature and ruthless style to intimidate others. Almost no one dared to provoke him in the village; even the village chief had to give him some respect.
Despite Hu Hai's rough demeanor, the women in his family were even more formidable. Anyone who foolishly crossed them would find themselves cursed at their doorstep for three days and nights at best; at worst, they would be confronted directly, and it wouldn’t end until someone was bloodied.
Qian Nai Nai and Zhao Lianzhi were gossiping when Yu Songyu overheard part of their conversation. At that time, she thought it was just a joke. Now that she knew Wang Xiuli wanted to plot against her and even intended to use Wang Lai as a pawn for murder, she wondered why she couldn't use their own tactics against them.
If she needed to borrow something, why not borrow something sharp to cut down Wang Xiuli's arrogance?
The next day, Yu Songyu encountered Wang Xiuli along with Xu Zhuzhen.
