I just want to live a good life

Chapter 419 Belongs to the Xun Family

Manager Ding has been very busy these days. Not only is he busy preparing for the New Year, he is also busy buying things that Concubine Xia wants. Things like shop deeds are easy to get as long as you have silver, but night-shining pearls as big as eggs are hard to find.

I'm afraid there isn't such a big night-shining pearl even in the imperial palace.

If he couldn't buy it on the black market, he planned to go to Concubine Xia to see if he could exchange it for something.

The things he had bought recently were quite expensive, and he felt bad about spending them, but His Royal Highness the Crown Prince didn't even blink an eye. He happily put away the house deeds, land deeds, and pearl strings, waiting to put them all in front of Concubine Xia during the New Year to make her happy.

Manager Ding is going to deliver New Year's money to various shops today. Originally, he doesn't have to do this job personally, but he still has some things to tell those people, so it would not be appropriate to let others go.

Juxianglou was doing a booming business at noon, and when Manager Ding arrived he was so surprised that he couldn't close his mouth.

"Oh, Manager Ding, you are here. Please come in."

Manager Cao personally welcomed Manager Ding into the upper room.

"Why are there so many people today?"

"It's the new cook you sent over. Her cooking skills are even better than the cook at Tianxianglou. It only took a few days for her to attract so many customers."

"A new cook?"

Steward Ding frowned slightly, "Has the person sent by Concubine Xia not been driven away yet?"

"Even after I chased her away, she refused to leave and became even more enthusiastic. The main reason is that she has the support of the Concubine. I really have no choice. If I chase her away again, I will leave first."

"What do you mean?" Manager Ding asked in surprise.

"A few days ago, the Concubine came and said that from now on, everyone in Juxiang Tower will listen to Madam Wang, and those who don't will get out."

Manager Ding kept sucking his teeth. This was really a troublesome matter. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had handed these troublesome shops over to Concubine Xia to manage, but he didn't want anyone to know the origins of these shops. It was really hard for him as the person in charge.

"If you want to stay, then stay. Tell the people below to keep their mouths shut and not to tell anything, especially what happened before His Highness bought the shop. You must not mention it to the princess."

"The villain understands."

Manager Ding and Shopkeeper Cao were talking in the house, and Ye Xiaobai was hiding outside and heard everything.

He had been keeping an eye on Manager Ding for several days, and today he finally waited for him to go out, and he actually got quite a lot.

Soon Su Nuan learned about the conversation between Manager Ding and Manager Cao.

"What happened before the shop was taken over? What could that be?"

Su Nuan muttered to herself for a few words, then asked Ye Xiaobai to find Song Qi and ask Song Qi to investigate the past of Juxianglou.

She originally thought that Song Qi might be able to find out the result of such a small matter in half a day, but after waiting for three days in a row, she finally received news from Song Qi on the morning of the fourth day. It was just one sentence: the shop belonged to the Xun family eight years ago.

This sentence was enough for Su Nuan.

She asked Song Qi to check all the shops she managed.

In fact, even if she didn't check, her guess would be the same as Juxianglou.

Although she had already made the worst plan, and even thought that Mu Yunting was teasing her with a few shops, she did not expect the result to be like this.

It's hard to describe how this feels, but it's terrible.

She really wanted to ask Mu Yunting what he thought about handing these shops over to her.

Do you want to make the shop prosperous with your own hands?

No, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has a lot of capable people under him. Just the caravan doing tea business needs capable people to manage it. If he wants to make these shops' business better, he doesn't need me at all.

Suddenly Su Nuan remembered the duck legs of Babao Duck, and then an idea popped into her mind. The duck legs were what Xun Zheng liked to eat, and Mu Yunting subconsciously treated herself as Xun Zheng, so could it be that this was the reason why he handed the shop over to her?

As soon as this idea came out, Su Nuan agreed with it deeply.

I felt sick as if I had eaten a fly.

It's ridiculous that he is still determined to make these shops famous, but in the end he will still be making wedding dresses for others. After the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess get married, Mu Yunting will definitely take back the shops and return them to Xun Zheng.

Good heart plug.

Su Nuan didn't eat for a whole day because of this matter.

It was really new that Concubine Xia didn't eat. In the past, no matter how big the matter was, it couldn't stop Concubine Xia from eating. So this day, the people in Duiyueju were very anxious.

If Su Nuan hadn't stopped her, Chun Liu would have gone to ask Doctor Yao for help.

Speaking of Imperial Physician Yao, Su Nuan immediately thought of Xinyi. She wondered how her third brother’s relationship with her was going.

It's not happy living in the Prince's Mansion anyway, so I might as well move to the other courtyard to be with my third brother and Xinyi, rather than being bored here.

Su Nuan packed a few clothes, said goodbye to Ye Xiaobai and left.

By the time His Royal Highness the Crown Prince heard about this, Su Nuanren had already arrived at the villa.
