The cooking color is delicious, general, don't bite me

Chapter 99

"Why can't I be here?" Meng Fuling asked with a raised eyebrow.

"I don't mean anything else." Hong Zhu shook her head hastily and said, her clothes were soaked in cold sweat, she tried her best to pretend to be calm.

"It's so late, what are you doing out there? To meet your lover? Or to make extra money?" Meng Fuling said with a smile, as if chatting with Hongzhu.

"Yes, it's because I'm a little tight lately, so I, I just came out for a while." Hong Zhu wanted to ask what the extra money meant, but soon understood, and hurriedly nodded in agreement.

Meng Fuling sneered and said, "Hongzhu, Hongzhu, you really have a thick skin. In order to avoid my investigation, you have the nerve to admit that you have started a business again."

"What do you mean? Although I'm working in a restaurant, there's no rule that I can't come out and do other things." Hongzhu was very guilty, and she still bit the bullet and looked directly at Meng Fuling.

"Hongzhu, let me ask you, do you feel unwell? Vomiting as often as you do now?" Meng Fuling didn't answer, but instead asked this seemingly irrelevant question.

Hongzhu hesitated for a moment, but still nodded. She has lost her appetite recently and often vomits.

This symptom is very similar to being pregnant, but she knows it is impossible, because every brothel woman often takes child-preventing drugs, and as time goes by, it will be difficult to conceive.

And she was very eager to have a child of her own. That time, Luo Yunhao hugged the little winter melon in front of her, knowing that the child was not Luo Yunhao's, she even thought of adopting the child.

"Because I let someone poison your food." Meng Fuling looked very natural when she said this.

The corners of the gourd's eyes behind her twitched a few times, and she thought to herself that this woman's ability to fool people has grown. She just saw Hongzhu vomit, and she became poisoned.

Hongzhu was terrified when she heard this, and took several steps back in disbelief, "How is that possible?"

"How is it impossible? Otherwise, do you really think that I can let you stay in the restaurant at ease?" Meng Fuling curled her lips and said with a slightly smug expression.

Hongzhu was stopped by the question, and froze for a long time before saying: "I thought shopkeeper Lu needed my body, so I was left behind. I didn't expect you to poison me with shopkeeper Lu on your back. It's really despicable!"

Puchi!Meng Fuling burst into laughter, she vaguely guessed that shopkeeper Lu was forced by Hongzhu to keep Hongzhu, but it turned out that Steward Lu lost his virginity again, and Hongzhu took it as a handle.

If Steward Lu was here, he would be vomiting blood with anger, after all he didn't say a word in front of her and Hulu, obviously he didn't want them to know, but now Hongzhu said it easily.

When Hulu heard Hong Zhu say that Steward Lu needed her body, his face darkened, and he moved to Meng Fuling's side, and said in a low voice, "He's not a womanizer."

Meng Fuling ignored the gourd, and stared at Hongzhu coldly, "You still refuse to tell the truth? I saw you come out of the Fortune Restaurant with my own eyes."

"I, my guest this time just happened to be drinking at the Fortune Restaurant." Hong Zhu said immediately without slow reaction.

Meng Fuling admired Hong Zhu's thick skin, and she was able to talk about the skin business so smoothly.

"Gong Lie, help me take her back!" This is not a place to extract a confession, Meng Fuling yelled, she knew Gong Lie could hear it.

Sure enough, Gong Lie quickly came out from the shadows and took Hong Zhu away as soon as he came.

Hulu hugged Meng Fuling's slender waist, "Are we going back too?"

Meng Fuling leaned her head on his shoulder and yawned, "Yes, I'm back."

Hulu shook his head, "You can let Gong Lie catch her, there is no need to come in person."

"Seeing that I came in person, Hongzhu might think that her every move is under my control." Meng Fuling disagreed.

Moreover, she found that Hongzhu is a very easy-going person. She really doesn't know how the person behind the scenes would send such an idiot as Hongzhu?

She deliberately lured Hongzhu to show her feet, not wanting to come and get the stolen goods when Hongzhu did something unfavorable to the restaurant, and then lead out the so-called person behind the scenes.

Meng Fuling felt that if she did this, she would not know the other party's plan, and would be unable to guard against it. If she was not careful, she would stumble.

She didn't want to take this risk, if she was not wrong, that person would definitely ask Hong Zhu to do something, so she had to know in advance and fight against the general.

******
Locked in the cellar, Hongzhu insisted that she was also in the skin business and had no other intentions, so she kept crying and begging Meng Fuling to give her the antidote.

The cellar was too damp and cold, and she kept vomiting again, and she couldn't bear it after being closed for several hours.

"It was Zhu Laifu who forced me. When I first came to Qishan County, I met him by accident. He knew that Su Xin and I were friends, and Su Xin was on good terms with you. He let me sneak into your restaurant through Su Xin. Steal your cookbook."

Hong Zhu picked Yun Suxin out, but she dared not confess her no matter what, and turned this matter into a conflict between two restaurants competing for business.

Meng Fuling originally thought that Hongzhu was unwell and guilty, and if she pressed her, she would tell the whole story, but she didn't expect Hongzhu's mouth to be so tight.

Naturally, it was impossible for her to believe Hongzhu's words. She wanted to expose Hongzhu so quickly, and she wanted to use Hongzhu instead, but now it seems impossible.

After thinking about it, Meng Fuling decided to use the punishment, and said to Mrs. Qiao and Lan Xiang, "Take off her clothes!"

"Don't, don't!" Hongzhu knew that Meng Fuling was going to torture her, her face turned pale with shock.

However, she was unwell, and her strength was no match for Mrs. Qiao and Lan Xiang, so she was quickly stripped down to only a pair of underwear and a bellyband.

During the process of undressing, a medicine bottle fell out of Hongzhu's body, and Mrs. Qiao presented the medicine bottle to Meng Fuling, "Miss."

Meng Fuling took the medicine bottle, and before she had time to open it, Mrs. Qiao came up to her and whispered something in her ear.

"Are you serious?" Meng Fuling frowned after hearing this.

"I think it looks like I can't be wrong!" Mrs. Qiao looked at Hongzhu's slightly raised abdomen and said to the dirt on the ground.

Luo Yunhao knew medical skills, Meng Fuling thought it would be better to let him take a look, so she asked Mrs. Qiao to call him.

"Meng Fuling, what, what do you want to do?" Hongzhu said in horror, she thought that Mrs. Qiao was going to get the instruments of torture.

Meng Fuling smiled and didn't answer, until Luo Yunhao came, and when he saw the red bead, he yelled, "Fuling, what do you mean? Why did you get a woman to dirty my eyes?"

"Stop pretending to be serious, she's not naked." Meng Fuling really couldn't stand Luo Yunhao like this, and was a little speechless.

"Then why don't you let the gourd come to see it? I'm still a child." Luo Yunhao muttered, and after getting Meng Fuling's cold stare, he reluctantly went up to help Hongzhu feel the pulse.

Before coming in, Mrs. Qiao had already told Luo Yunhao that she would only nod to Meng Fuling as a confirmation.

"What's wrong with me?" Meng Fuling and the others looked wrong, which made Hongzhu even more panicked.

Meng Fuling ignored Hong Zhu and handed the medicine bottle to Luo Yunhao.

After checking the medicine inside, his face changed in shock, and he whispered to Meng Fuling what medicine it was.

After hearing this, Meng Fuling's expression also changed. She had already guessed the other party's purpose, and she was glad that she had exposed Hong Zhu in advance, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous.

"You were indeed poisoned. The poison entered your heart and lungs, and your whole body festered to death. After death, your body turned into a puddle of pus." Meng Fuling thought for a while, walked in front of Hong Zhu, and said seriously.

"It was you who poisoned me! You have such a vicious heart!" Hong Zhu stared at Meng Fuling with hatred in her eyes.

But Meng Fuling was unmoved, shook her head and said, "I didn't poison you."

"You clearly said that you poisoned me!" Now, Hongzhu was confused by Meng Fuling, why would she say that she poisoned me, and then say no?
"That was to scare you. Just now Aunt Qiao found out that you might be pregnant. Now that she has checked her pulse, she realizes that you are really poisoned." Meng Fuling said truthfully, but she wondered in her heart if the child belonged to Steward Lu?
Luo Yunhao's eyes widened, and she understood. At the beginning, Meng Fuling lied to Hongzhu that she had been poisoned, but now that she knew that Hongzhu was pregnant, she immediately changed her words and said that the poison in Hongzhu's body was not caused by her.

With twists and turns, Luo Yunhao really didn't understand what kind of tricks Meng Fuling was going to play, Hong Zhu was obviously not poisoned.

"You, you mean I'm pregnant? And I was really poisoned? But you didn't inflict the poison, so who—" Hongzhu couldn't hide her joy when she heard that she was pregnant. Birth, no wonder she keeps throwing up.

She was about to ask if it wasn't Meng Fuling who did the poison, but she choked up in the middle of the sentence because she suddenly thought of Yun Suxin.

Meng Fuling did not miss any of Hongzhu's expressions, and found that when Hongzhu found out that she was pregnant, there was a clear look of joy in Hongzhu's eyes.

When mentioning the person who poisoned, Hong Zhu's expression froze, as if she was a little stunned, there should be someone to suspect.

In this way, Meng Fuling was confident, "I said I poisoned your food, did you really take it seriously? Didn't you come to my restaurant with a purpose, didn't you just be careful?"

Hong Zhu nodded in a daze, and when she came to her senses, she was led away by the nose by Meng Fuling. While regretting, she also felt that Meng Fuling's words made sense. She was really careful in everything in the restaurant, and it was unlikely that she would be poisoned.

On the other hand, Yun Suxin was unprepared and drank tea a few times.

"Can this poison be cured? Will it harm the child in my stomach?" Hong Zhu asked nervously.

She resented Yun Suxin, and couldn't help recalling that Yun Suxin often beat and scolded her, and even poisoned her.If Meng Fuling hadn't told her, wouldn't she and the child in her womb have died together?
Meng Fuling glanced at Luo Yunhao, and said with a smile: "Since he has found out what poison you have been poisoned, he can naturally develop an antidote, as long as you obey my orders."

*******
Tianyuan Restaurant has special dishes every day, but the special dishes are different every day, and many diners who are greedy for cheap will order one.

Today, the restaurant launched a colorful lotus root soup, and more diners ordered it.

Meng Fuling came to the restaurant early, and now, she was checking the account books for the past few days, unexpectedly, Steward Lu hurried over.

"Ma'am, it's bad!" Steward Lu was sweating profusely.

"What happened?" Meng Fuling pretended to be surprised.

Butler Lu said anxiously: "A customer had red spots on his face after eating lotus root soup, and kept vomiting blood."
