Falling in Love Online with an Ancient General

Chapter 210

Early the next morning, Feng Qingyi went out to buy breakfast and also purchased some cookies while she was out.

In the dining room, Feng Qingci picked up a steamed bun and soy milk from the table.

"Why did you buy so many cookies?" he asked.

Feng Qingyi, munching on a fried dough stick, replied, "To sell them, of course!"

"It's not a holiday or anything. I doubt they'll sell," Feng Qingci remarked.

Feng Qingyi glared at him. "Mind your own business!"

"By the way, where's that guy? I haven't seen him," Feng Qingci inquired about Qin Yuchuan.

Feng Qingyi responded, "Where else would he be? He went home, of course."

"When did he leave? So early?" Feng Qingci asked.

Feng Qingyi explained, "He has work to do. He's very busy. He can't just stay here all day every day."

"We're all working people, except for you who's the most free. I'm leaving after breakfast too. You stay here and watch the house."

After breakfast, Feng Qingyi went to the Tea House.

The Tea House officially opened for business. There weren't many customers in the morning, so Feng Qingyi decided to teach the cook how to make cookies.

Although there was no electricity or ovens in ancient times, making things was still possible, just more troublesome and limited in quantity.

Fortunately, the Tea House wasn't busy in the morning, so everyone came to help. They divided the tasks, and the final result was quite satisfactory.

"Everyone, try some. How's the taste?" Feng Qingyi offered a plate for everyone to sample.

"The taste is good."

"I think it's a bit bland, not as sweet as yesterday's."

"Too sweet would be cloying. This is just right."

"..."

The cook responsible for making pastries at the Tea House was named Xuzhou. It was his first time trying to make cookies, and he was very interested in this method of preparation.

"Miss, besides these cookies, do you know how to make other pastries?" he asked.

"Boss, we're a Tea House. We mainly sell tea. Now everyone's focused on the pastries, which has turned things upside down. It might not be good for us in the long run," Li Yi shared his thoughts.

Feng Qingyi felt that both had valid points. "We can't let them leave empty-handed since they've come."

"We used the free cookies to attract customers yesterday. Let's focus on promoting them for a while. It's a way to draw people in. Later, we can shift our focus to promoting various teas. It's the same principle."

Li Yi roughly understood Feng Qingyi's meaning. "Then I'll have the waiters package them up."

"Alright, let's do that for now," Feng Qingyi nodded.

With Li Yi and others managing the Tea House, Feng Qingyi had nothing else to do, so she left with Xu Linghe.

"Qingyi, I have some good news for you. Shangguan Yi has been confined to his house by his father. He probably won't be able to come out for ten days to half a month."

Feng Qingyi asked, "Why was he confined?"

Xu Linghe explained, "I heard that yesterday he encountered his former fiancée on the street and publicly humiliated her."

"The current husband of his ex-fiancée went to his mansion last night. Apparently, they got into a big fight, and Shangguan Yi's father was so angry that he confined him."

Feng Qingyi curiously asked, "Do you know why his former fiancée broke off the engagement?"

Xu Linghe replied, "His ex-fiancée is Miss Meng. Shangguan Yi comes from a merchant family, so he was already marrying above his station. But he spent his days carousing and even harassed Miss Meng's maid."

"Later, Miss Meng discovered his scandalous affair with the maid and had someone break off the engagement. Shortly after, she married Young Master Zhou, who was from a family of equal status."

"Young Master Zhou had liked Miss Meng since childhood. After marrying her, he doted on her extremely. They had a child soon after and are living quite well now."

"Shangguan Yi, for some reason, went to provoke her again and even slandered her, accusing her of seducing him. When Young Master Zhou found out, he almost broke Shangguan Yi's legs."

"In the end, Shangguan Yi's father had to go and apologize, and only then was the matter settled. The outrageous things he's done are endless."

Feng Qingyi had previously thought he was just a playboy who neglected his duties. She didn't expect him to be so disgusting.

In this era, women valued their reputation more than their lives.

For him to slander a married woman like that... If Young Master Zhou hadn't trusted Miss Meng, it could have been a completely different story.

"That's too much!" Feng Qingyi exclaimed.

Xu Linghe continued, "And that's not all. He looks down on all the noble ladies in Shengjing, criticizing them as soon as he meets them. Now, no young lady is willing to attend any banquet where he's present."

"The fact that he's still alive is thanks to his father being the richest man. Otherwise, he would have died countless times by now."
