LOVE AND BETRAYAL
THE RAVAGES OF MADAM CHOU

The Impereal Restaurant grew bigger and expanded rapidly once Fan Jianying again settled in the capital.

Fan Jainying still maintains several mainstay restaurant menus and only provides a limited amount on certain – days only.

He and the chef Amingpun increasingly meet. Although both have the same business but do not make the relationship the two become far because the menu presented by the two is quite different.

Although there are several similar menus, but the menu is not a mainstay for the restaurant.

Even the two had collaborated, combining the two mainstay menus in the two large restaurants into a new menu that eventually became the mainstay of the two restaurants.

Savory for Impereal Restaurant and Sweet for chef Aming's restaurant. Two different things but everyone's favorite.

Seeing the success of his daughter-in-law's granddaughter made Matriarch Bai feel very proud.

He did not expect at that age Fan Jianying could manage finances very well.

From here slowly Matriarch Bai began to entrust most of her personal assets to be managed by her granddaughter-in-law.

Although Madam Chou was not happy but she also could not protest because all these assets belonged to private matriarch Bai, not the assets of the Bai family.

All that Madam Chou could do was grow even more envious of Fan Jianying's success in managing everything.

“ Mistress...ini..”, said waiter Yu after successfully finding a drug that allegedly used to make a woman's fertility disturbed.

And if the drug is given in large quantities, the possibility of the uterus becoming dry and difficult to have offspring can occur.

“ Call healer Shilin and madam Chou here right now !!...”, matriarch Bai's orders are firm.

Madam Chou did not have any premonition when she was called to face her grandmother until the Shilin healer in the main room made her feel bad.

Shilin Physician immediately frowned quite in time to smell the aroma coming out of the medicine in his hand.

“ It's a kind of medicine to prevent pregnancy. But if consumed continuously in high doses the possibility of the uterus becoming dry and difficult to have offspring is very high. Even if the immune system of the recipient is weak enough it can cause death..”, said physician Shilin explained.

Matriak Bai's body stiffened immediately after listening to Shilin's physician's explanation. Another case with Madam Chou who is currently pale.

Madam Chou looked extremely agitated and started to play both of her hands which felt extremely cold.

He had no idea that what he was doing would be known to Matriarch Bai. Though all the plans that he has prepared have been very neat and well organized.

“ If I may know, you get this dangerous drug from where. Because to my knowledge, this drug is not sold freely in the market, and can only be obtained in the dark market only because it is very step and expensive price.. ”, said healer Shilin with a curious face.

As Matriarch Bai had expected, the medicine was indeed not common since she had only seen such a one the first time.

“ Chou...you can explain where you can get the drug from..”, asked Matriak Bai directly on target.

Getting such a question Madam Chou looked very nervous. This made Shilin healer begin to harbor suspicion.

“ I do not understand what grandma is talking about?..”, asked madam Chou flutter, but she as much as possible to install a quiet wajh.

“ Senior servant Yu found this medicine in your residence. Because you are no longer likely to have children because there is a problem in your uterus. Then, who will you give this medicine to ?...”, said matriarch Bai in a high tone of voice.

Hearing the words of the grandmother who seemed to corner him, Madam Chou also twisted his brain to be able to get out of this problem.

“ Looks like there is someone who intends to trap me grandma.... ”, said madam Chou with a face made as sad as possible.

“ Who wants to frame you ?...”, matriarch Bai asked full of questions.

“ I don't know for sure who wants to frame me. Only, sister-in-law a few days ago visited my residence. Could it be... ”, said madam Chou with a sad face.

Madam Chou deliberately hung up her sentence so that everyone started to think according to her goal.

Seeing matriarch Bai speechless while thinking, madam Chou felt if he could turn things around by slandering Fan Jianying.

“ I didn't expect if sister would do this to me. I was very good with my sister. But why did he do this cruel thing to me...”, said madam Chou while shedding tears.

Seeing that everyone was beginning to pay attention to the charade he was playing, through the look in his eyes Madam Chou's personal servant arrived - just came forward and started talking.

“ Mistress, you are patient. Perhaps the third young madam did this by mistake, so you beg to forgive her..”, said madam Chou's servant kneeling before her master.

At first glance, one might think that the personal servant was as if defending Fan Jianying. But the word – the word he spoke was very clearly implied if all this was Fan Jianying's cunning deed to trap Madam Chou.

The Shilin Physician who saw the Madam Chou charade could no longer hold back his laughter. Of course, the actions of the man invited the attention of everyone.

“ I do not know if the first young madam loved the third young madam Bai so much as to be able to send a hitman to take his life.”, said Shilin healer full of emphasis.

Everyone's mouths opened wide with both eyes bulging, shocked by Shilin's healer's words.

“ What do you say Shilin healer ? I really do not understand...”, said madam Chou pretend to be stupid.

Chou's madam tongue instantly became moody, cold sweat started pouring profusely from his body when he saw Matriarch Bai staring at him sharply demanding an answer.

“ Grandma...look, healer Shilin is very close to sister. He even slandered me vilely like that...”, said madam Chou dropping her body onto the floor sobbing.

He continued to cry tears until he made the hearts of all his servants grieve and tried to calm him down.

“ What are you talking about ?!!...”, shouted matriarch Bai while staring intently at the Shilin healer.

Although she was quite angry when she found out that her first daughter-in-law's granddaughter wanted to make Fan jainying unable to have children.

But he also couldn't just let the original outsider accuse without proof to Madam Chou like that.

" Don't talk if there's no evidence!!!..", cried matriarch Bai full of anger.

Madam Chou who saw that Matriarch Bai was defending her back sobbed and her tears came rushing out.

" I dare to speak it certainly has evidence" said Physician Shilin calmly.

“ Nomura, still in a private holding cell inside the palace. He was now in a state of great concern about not living and not dying.", Physician Shilin still spoke casually.

“ Imprisoned palace !!!...bullshit !!!...what are you to brag that far to slander me !!!..”, said madam Chou with emotion.

" If Matriarch Bai and madam Chou want to visit him, I can ask for permission to His Majesty the Emperor right now...” , said healer Shilin with a triumphant smile.

" Emperor...what does this have to do with emperor Huang?....", asked matriarch Bai riled.

“ Emperor Huang strongly protects the third young madam. Even on the way to the Weixi mountains, His Majesty ordered his shadow bodyguards to make sure the third young madam arrived safely at the Huwanwei Pavilion. And, it was the shadow bodyguards who arrested Nomura and foiled the murder.. ”, Shilin healer explained.

Chou's madam body instantly went limp when she heard the explanation from the Shilin physician. Not only Madam Chou, matriarch Bai immediately collapsed and sat down lethargic in her seat hearing the fact.

“ You should thank the third young madam for asking Your Majesty not to prolong this matter. Otherwise, what Ming family can still stand upright until now.”, said physician Shilin full of emphasis.

Madam Chou could no longer be sober and could only cry regretting her actions. Otherwise, he was very confident that the Ming great family would be affected by his actions.

Madam Chou was seen prostrating at the feet of matriarch Bai, but was immediately kicked violently by the old woman.

He had not expected at all that Madam Chou would act recklessly and ruthlessly like that to Fan Jianying.

At first, this matter of pregnancy-delaying medicine alone had already enraged Matriarch Bai.

Especially now, he heard the fact that his first granddaughter-in-law wanted to kill Fan Jianying made the blood in Matriarch Bai's body boil even more.

“ Brackets her in the prayer room for three months and fasts all day for self-introspection and revoke her power as the hostess of the Bai family.”, matriarch Bai's orders are firm.

Being locked in a prayer room was not a problem for Madam Chou, but being deprived of her power as the hostess of the Bai family was the hardest thing to do.

“ Grandma..please forgive me grandma...I am not guilty..this shame because of the rotten girl...”, madam Chou kept shouting while being dragged to the prayer room.

Matriarch Bai could only massage her forehead firmly as she felt her head ache.

The Shilin Physician who saw the health condition of Matriarch Bai immediately decreased immediately examined her and gave her a tranquilizing pill as well as told her to rest.

“ You should rest longer so that your body condition can recover soon...”, said healer Shilin while prescribing medicine for the elder Bai.

“ Why Fan’er hid this big problem from me. And why didn't you say anything to me either..”, Matriarch Bai said in tears.

“ Third young madam just didn't want to make everyone worry about her, so she asked me to keep it a secret..”, Shilin healer explained.

“ But this is already out of bounds !!...”, shouted Matriarch Bai full of anger.

“ Does Cheung know about this problem ?...”, matriarch Bai asked in a glance.

The Shilin Physician just shook his head slowly. That made Matriarch Bai feel even more guilty.

“ How should I make up for all this mess...”, said matriarch Bai weakly.

“ Third young madam expects nothing. All he wanted was some peace and joy within the Bai family. That's what the third young madam said to emperor Huang when asking forgiveness for the first young madam.”, the physician Shilinpun revealed everything, without anything else he covered from matriarch Bai.

“ She is indeed a good girl. Always attach greater importance to others than to himself.”, matriarch Bai said in tears.

Hira who convinced everyone immediately reported everything to Fan Jianying who was relaxing in the gazebo of her residential garden.

“ Sister is too implusive and careless. It is good that he has already received punishment..”, Fan Jianying said casually.

This was just a small punishment that Fan Jianying gave. But if his brother-in-law is still disturbing his life then don't blame him if he will be crueler again.

" What you did, that's what you reaped.", that's Fan Jianying's principle.
