Chapter 439 - 439: Who’s the Owner of Full Moon Pavilion?

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Qian Qing looked at Yu Xiaoxiao and said expressionlessly, “Commandery Princess, I don’t think you’re qualified to ask about the Eldest Princess’ whereabouts.”

Although Qian Qing was dressed like a maidservant, even a blind person could see that her aura and temperament easily suppressed those of Yu Xiaoxiao. Qian Qing’s expression was aloof, and even without makeup, she looked beautiful.

In comparison, Yu Xiaoxiao looked tacky with her heavy makeup.

Many people, who were attracted by the commotion, began to lower their heads and whisper among each other.

“This must be the Commandery Princess from the King of Zhenbei’s Residence.

Why is she so petty? She can’t even compare to a maidservant.”

“Hush! Keep your voice down! She’s not just the Commandery Princess of the

King of Zhenbei’s Residence. Her cousin is the Eldest Princess, and she’s the Crown Prince’s future side consort. If she hears you, she might chop your head off!”

“That’s right, that’s right. Let’s not talk about it anymore…”

Yu Xiaoxiao was so angry that she almost lost control of her temper. However, she knew she could not lose her composure in front of so many people so she forced herself to calm down. After that, she strode over to Qian Qing and said threateningly, “Your name is… Qian Qing, right? I have a very good relationship with the Eldest Princess. I came here because I want to spend time with her. If you dare to ruin our relationship, I have ten thousand ways to make you wish you were dead.”

“Oh, is the Commandery Princess threatening me?” Qian Qing asked, looking unaffected. Her voice was neither loud nor soft, but everyone heard her clearly.

Sensing the strange looks from the crowd, Yu Xiaoxiao gnashed her teeth. She narrowed her eyes as she said, “I’ve always been reasonable. How could I threaten you?”

After that, Yu Xiaoxiao continued to say arrogantly, “However, our Shang family’s Full Moon Pavilion can’t accommodate dirty maids. Earlier when I went upstairs, I heard that the auspicious plate in our restaurant had gone missing. You were upstairs, right? You must have stolen it.”

Yu Xiaoxiao turned to face the crowd and said, “Everyone, this lowly person is my cousin’s maidservant. Originally, I didn’t want to make a scene. After all, she’s my cousin’s maidservant. It’s better to deal with the matter privately. However, unexpectedly, this maidservant didn’t know the rules and tried to stop me from meeting my cousin. My cousin and I are like biological sisters.

She’s clearly trying to drive a wedge between us…”

Yu Xiaoxiao paused for a beat and continued to say, “Hence, I can’t allow her to cause trouble. I have to reveal her true colors. As everyone knows, the food in Full Moon Pavilion is not only delicious, but everything in Full Pavilion is

meticulously chosen. The painting, the decorations, and the jade plates are all

priceless…”

“The auspicious plate I mentioned earlier was the favorite of the previous dynasty’s empress dowager. It’s been passed down for nearly a thousand years, and its value can no longer be measured. For this reason, this lowly maid became greedy and stole it.”

Everyone’s interest was immediately piqued, and they looked around immediately.

“In fact, I’ve heard before that the Full Moon Pavilion was very generous when it came to its decorations. Look at the calligraphy painting over there. That’s Master Deng Yu’s final work!”

“There’s also that screen. It’s the best masterpiece of the craftsman, Master Xiao!”

“However, I didn’t expect them to keep a thousand-year-old treasure here…’

Someone asked, “Compared to all those things, aren’t you more shocked that Full Moon Pavilion is owned by the Shang family?” fre ewebno vel.com

Everyone quickly nodded.

‘Indeed, this is the most shocking thing. After all, everyone’s been wondering about the owner of Full Moon Pavilion for a long time now…’

Full Moon Pavilion was one of the most profitable restaurants in the capital. Its business was very good every day. Even Qingyou Tower, a drinking parlor that was a favorite of drinkers, could not compare to it.

For the longest time, the owner of Full Moon Pavilion was a mystery.

A few years ago, people had seen the head of the Shang family frequently visit the Full Moon Pavilion, and the staff members were also extremely polite to him. For this reason, many people guessed that the owner of Full Moon Pavilion was the Shang family.

However, not long after that, someone refuted this, saying that the Shang family was a family without any foundation. How could the Shang family own such a successful business?

The person with the highest status in the Shang family was just the legitimate daughter who married Second Master Yu, the brother of the King of Zhenbei. It could be seen that the Shang family was not very capable.

However, since Yu Xiaoxiao had spoken, not many people doubted her. After all, she had said it in front of everyone. It seemed like all of them had underestimated the Shang family.

In the private room.

Yu Yunxi could clearly hear the conversations outside. She raised an eyebrow and asked, “Meng Xia, is this place really owned by the Shang family?”

Yu Yunxi instantly lost her appetite at this moment. No matter how delicious the food was, since it was from people she found annoying, she completely lost interest.

Meng Xia hurriedly explained, “No, no, Eldest Princess, don’t misunderstand. I was about to tell you about this earlier. Full Moon Pavilion doesn’t belong to the Shang family.”

“Huh?”

Yu Yunxi looked at Meng Xia, puzzled.

“In fact, the Full Moon Pavilion is a gift from the King of Zhenbei to your mother. Back then, Princess Changing complained that there was nothing she liked to eat in the capital. For that reason, the King of Zhenbei found many chefs with excellent culinary skills among the c commoners to cook for your mother. Later, before he left the capital to fight in a war, he opened up this restaurant for your mother,” Meng Xia said, “After the restaurant opened, it attracted a lot of customers, and its business was very good. Alas, the good times didn’t last long, and something happened to your mother. The Emperor Emeritus was not in the mind to care about this place so the King of Zhenbei asked the second branch of the Yu family to manage the restaurant on his behalf until your mother’s return.”

‘So that’s how it was… In fact, Father loved Mother a lot, right?’ 𝑓𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘸𝘦𝒷𝑛𝘰𝑣𝘦𝘭.𝑐𝘰𝘮

Yu Yunxi clutched her chest, filled with mixed feelings.

‘Mother hid her identity for so many years and was unwilling to look for Father or return to Xichu. It was because she was afraid the Xiao family’s matter would implicate him…. They were clearly so in love, but they were separated.’

“What happened after that? How did this restaurant fall into the Shang family’s hands?” Yu Yunxi asked.

Meng Xia was furious when she heard these words. She said indignantly,

“Many people coveted this restaurant! As soon as the King of Zhenbei left, the Empress’ faction already had designs on it. They promised to make Yu Xiaoxiao a Commandery Princess and the Crown Prince’s side consort, using it as bait to make the people from the second branch give up on the restaurant.”

“However, the King of Zhenbei has always been unpredictable. The Empress was afraid of offending him. As such, she told the second branch to hand over the management of the restaurant to the Shang family. In short, this restaurant is now the Crown Prince’s property. If the King of Zhenbei really pursues this matter, they can easily push the blame on the Shang family.”

Yu Yunxi scoffed and said mockingly, “That does sound like something Empress Qin and the Crown Prince would do..”
