Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
The First Prince’s mother was the Imperial Consort. Before Emperor Yan had a new empress, she was the woman with the highest authority in the harem.
Her power was almost equal to that of the Empress.
If the Imperial Consort was willing to help and let Consort Shu fake her death to escape from the palace, it was not completely impossible.
“Yes.” Li Xiao replied.
He thought to himself, “his wife is so smart.”
“As long as she was willing to do that, 1 have no objections.” Lin Xiaoyue said.
Since that person was her husband’s sister and Qing’er’s mother, she could accept her.
“Thank you, Yue’er!” Li Xiao exclaimed.
Lin Xiaoyue smiled. “There’s no need to thank me. Isn’t your sister my sister? However, our residence is far worse than the palace’s. 1 wonder if she will be used to living here.”
“Of course! Before the age of ten, she stayed with father at the border. She is not a delicate woman.”
“A luxurious life is meaningless to her. The Imperial Palace is just a cage to trap her.” Li Xiao sighed.
“In the past, she was trapped in the palace because of the Nangong family. Now that the Nangong family is in trouble and Qing’er and 1 are not in the capital, she definitely does not want to continue staying in the palace.”
Lin Xiaoyue was a little surprised.
Consort Shu was such a person?
“That’s good. Then 1 will definitely welcome her to my home.” Lin Xiaoyue immediately said.
“Don’t call her ‘Consort Shu’, just address her as your sister,” Li Xiao grabbed Lin Xiaoyue’s hand.
“Hmm,” Lin Xiaoyue replied.
“By the way, what’s her name? Why don’t you tell me about her?” She wanted to find out more about her sister-in-law.
Li Xiao chuckled. “Her name is Nangong Wanyue…” Then, he told Lin Xiaoyue all about her.
When Lin Xiaoyue heard her story, she completely accepted her.
It really wasn’t easy for her. She had sacrificed too much for the Nangong family.
In the next few days, Lin Xiaoyue and Zhao Shanshan continued to work on the new shop.
Lin Xiaoyue only let go when Zhao Shanshan could basically take over the tasks.
At the same time, the Liu family’s 20,000 catties of spicy cabbage was finally ready.
The Liu residence’s front yard finally became less busy.
On the other hand, the workshop was very lively because the construction had already started.
Early this morning, Lin Xiaoyue rode the carriage to town with Zhou Shi.
Zhou Shi had not been home for a long time. Now that the spicy cabbage was done, she had nothing to do at the Liu family for the time being. She was going home to rest for a few days.
Lin Xiaoyue went to town to buy a carriage and some meat.
Yes, she was planning to buy another carriage for the family.
In addition, she was preparing to make sausages and bacon.
The spicy cabbage was already done, and she hired someone to cook their meals. There was no need for her and Chen Shi to do that.
She estimated that she would finish cooking the bacon and sausages in the next two days, and then get Zhao Fu to buy some New Year goods.
When they arrived in town, Lin Xiaoyue sent Zhou Shi home before leaving alone.
After leaving the Hei residence, Lin Xiaoyue went straight to the market and bought a carriage.
After that, she rode it to the west market to buy meat.
She loved bacon and sausages, especially sausages. She came to town to buy more.
Lin Xiaoyue first went to Butcher Zhang’s stall, which had a partnership with their eatery.
“Yo, Ms. Lin! Why are you here? Was the meat sent to your shop not enough?” When Butcher Zhang saw Lin Xiaoyue, he quickly welcomed her warmly.
After the opening of the second branch of Liu Shi’s Eatery, they needed more than 60 catties of meat every day. Most of it was pig offal, which was difficult to sell.
She was his big client.
“No, it’s not for the shop.” Lin Xiaoyue smiled and looked at Butcher Zhang. “Shanshan is in charge of the store now. If she’s short of meat, she’ll come to you.”
“Haha, you have good eyes. Ms. Shanshan is really good at managing the shops.”
“You flatter me.” Lin Xiaoyue said politely.
Seeing that Butcher Zhang was going to continue to flatter her, Lin Xiaoyue quickly said, “I came here this time to buy 500 catties of meat to make bacon.”
Butcher Zhang’s eyes lit up when he heard that.
“Great! You’re right to come to me, Zhang Biao! Tomorrow, I will ask Hu Zi to send the meat directly to your house!”
“Thank you.” Lin Xiaoyue replied with a smile.
It saved her the trouble of making another trip.
“No trouble at all.. Do you have any requirements for the meat?”
