342, Xuan Mu’s First Meeting (4 Updates)
But this big brother of his was clever his whole life, but foolish for a moment.
“No matter the reason, if he didn’t complete the task, he must be punished!” Yuanbao said firmly.
Li Hengyi didn’t say much, “Travel overnight, to the Frontier!”
He feared the Great General wouldn’t last until the medicine pill was delivered.
“…”
Li Hengyi felt miserable.
Very miserable.
If there were no hope, it would be one thing, but it happened that the life of the Great General was now in his hands; the antidote was in his hands.
Li Hengyi clenched his fist and hit the small table.
Fengping County
Kechanglai
Xie Zhinuan was sitting on the bed, having completed her breathing exercises, and let out a deep breath; she could feel her Inner Strength had become much stronger, though she didn’t know by how much.
She listened intently and could hear the haggling voices of women shopping on the street up ahead.
If she withdrew her focus, the surroundings became quiet, just like having ears that caught the wind.
She thought, she should study medicine more diligently.

After breakfast, Xie Zhinuan went to the new shop with Xie Rong.Upon learning that Xie Zhinuan was the new owner, all the staff didn’t want to leave, since Kechanglai was doing great business, and it was said that the bonus for Kechanglai’s staff alone was two taels, not to mention the salary.
Moreover, the owner was extremely beautiful, gentle in temperament, and generous; they all envied her a lot, and now that she had become their owner, they were filled with anticipation.
Seeing Xie Zhinuan coming over, everyone got so excited their hearts reached their throats.
The new owner is really beautiful.
Extremely beautiful.
“…”
Looking at them, Xie Zhinuan asked gently with a smile, “Do you plan to leave or stay?”
“Stay, I’ll stay!”
“I’m staying too!”
One after another, they all wanted to stay. Xie Zhinuan’s smile grew warmer, “If you wish to stay, I certainly welcome you. But there’s one thing I must make clear: I may have a good disposition, but I detest those who betray trust the most. If you decide to stay, don’t engage in treachery, because being thrown out would be the least of your worries-reporting to the officials and ending up in jail are things I am capable of doing!”
“I’m laying out the ugly truth today, so you can’t blame me for being heartless in the future,” Xie Zhinuan’s voice was soft, yet it struck everyone’s heart like a heavy hammer.
There were seven clerks, three head chefs, four old women who washed dishes and vegetables, and a shopkeeper.
Xie Zhinuan inspected the restaurant, “My first requirement is to take everything out to the backyard and wash it down. Clean every corner of this house and kitchen thoroughly!”
“Is the owner planning to open a restaurant here?” someone couldn’t help but ask.
“…”
Xie Zhinuan had originally planned to sell noodles, but seeing the expectant, eager look in the eyes of the three head chefs, she said, “I had intended to sell noodles, but seeing your enthusiasm, it would be a waste not to maximize your talents. Let’s run a restaurant here!”
The place could fit a dozen or so tables upstairs and downstairs, but how good the three head chefs’ cooking skills were, she didn’t know.
Everyone was overjoyed.
“But before that, you all need to clean up this place first, then I’ll arrange the other things!”
Although Li Hengyi was not in Fengping County, he had left behind many writings; she could pick one to frame and that would be enough.
Xie Zhinuan sat for a moment, then returned to Kechanglai, just in time to see Wang Shaoyu speaking with someone. She only saw the person’s back-tall and lean, yet standing upright with an elegant bearing.
Wang Shaoyu looked back at Xie Zhinuan and smiled warmly, “You’re back!”
“Wang Shaoyu has a guest, why not invite him inside!” Xie Zhinuan said with a light smile.
Upon hearing this, Xuan Mu turned around to look.
“…”
Upon seeing Xie Zhinuan for the first time, his eyes reddened, and he stepped forward excitedly, “Nuannuan…”
