Bai Jing's previous financial resources naturally have been cut off quite a bit.
If this happened in the past, Bai Jing would certainly take the initiative to attack, find an excuse to accuse Lin Yuan's vegetables and tofu of some imagined fault, and get rid of them directly.
But now it's different. Since the disgraceful incident at Dong Tian, Bai Jing's behavior in the imperial kitchen is no longer as arrogant as before.
It's not that he has learned restraint. Rather, the people in the imperial kitchen no longer fear him, even his apprentice, Liang Liqin, has distanced himself from his master.
The person backing Bai Jing is the Second Prince Zhao Hongsheng, which is an unspoken but widely known secret.
However, it's said that after the Dong Tian incident, the Second Prince not only didn't support him but instead scolded him harshly, calling him a lazy good-for-nothing who can't even cook properly despite being an Imperial Chef.
