It shouldn't be!

Now that the New Year is over, although the weather is still cold, it is time to drink hot milk tea!

Bai Wanyi hurried to Shuangxi Tea House, but halfway through, he found that the door was closed!

Bai Wanyi checked the time. It was noon, which was usually the busiest time for business. She raised her hand and knocked on the door: "Open the door! Is anyone there? Open the door!"

She knocked several times but no one opened the door, which attracted the owner of the jewelry store next door.

He said to Bai Wanyi, "Mrs. Bai, your shop has been closed for several months."

"What? Closed? Why?" Bai Wanyi was shocked.

The shopkeeper shook his head and said, "I don't know. My shop only opened after the New Year, and I didn't see Shuangxi Tea House open at that time."

Upon hearing this, Bai Wanyi immediately looked towards the Good Luck Dim Sum Shop next door, and sure enough, it was also closed. She immediately rushed to Avril.

This is her purse!

Avril is the shop that earns the most money at the moment. Before the New Year, many people ordered cosmetics from her and agreed to pick them up after the New Year.

She was sent to the Ministry of Industry too suddenly. She has been busy since she got in and has no time to think about these things. Now she is very anxious.

If the goods are not delivered at the agreed time, it will affect the reputation of the store!

Bai Wanyi hurried to Avril and saw the door was also closed. She panicked. If it meant paying her money...

She had a bad feeling in her heart, her money!

Bai Wanyi paused. At this moment, he didn't know whether to go home first to see if his money was still there, or to go see Avril first.

"Madam?" Chu Yun asked when he saw her standing there in a daze.

Bai Wanyi took a deep breath and said, "Let's go to Avril."

It’s better to go and check out the shop first.

However, as expected, the shop was closed, and both the Liuli Shop and the Jinghuayuan Shop were closed.

The glass workshop is outside the city, but if there are still craftsmen in the glass workshop, why would it close?

Bai Wanyi held onto the door frame, completely exhausted.

"This Revlon lip balm is really nice."

"I think perfume smells better."

Several young ladies passed by Bai Wanyi in a group. At a distance that was neither too far nor too close, they happened to smell a very pleasant floral scent, like jasmine covered with dew in the early morning, elegant and pleasant.

Bai Wanyi turned his head and saw the noisy Revlon diagonally across the street. From the familiar font, it was obvious that it was created by the same person as Liuhuaju.

Of course, it is obvious who owns this shop.

"Qin Wan!"

Bai Wanyi's face suddenly twisted. Was it because of her that Avril couldn't open the door?

"Madam, let's go home." Chu Yun called her softly and pulled her to the newly rented carriage. "You just came out of the Ministry of Industry and you have been exhausted for the past few months. Go home and rest for a while before planning the next thing."

When Bai Wanyi came to his senses, he was already standing at the gate of Pingyang Marquis Mansion.

The steward who heard the news hurried over to greet her: "Madam, are you back? Your yard is ready. Come in."

In fact, there are servants in the yard who clean up every day, but who wouldn’t say a word if they could take on the work themselves?

Bai Wanyi looked at the housekeeper, his eyes suddenly becoming sharp: "Where are the people from the milk tea shop? Call them all here. Will the shop remain closed when I'm not here? Haven't I paid them their wages? I didn't know before that the mansion doesn't pay monthly wages, so I need to pay them. Now I know, let them start working!"

The housekeeper was embarrassed: "Madam, they have been arranged to go somewhere else now. If you want these people, you should ask Madam Yu first."

Bai Wanyi was exhausted by the series of events. Suppressing his anger, he said, "Do you know the big and small Wangs? I'm the mistress of this family! I need her consent to transfer someone else."

The housekeeper said, "Madam Yu is now in charge of the household affairs. Those people have responsibilities, and if they are transferred, they need to be replaced. Some positions are not easy to fill. So we still have to find Madam Yu."

"You're all bullying me, right?"

Bai Wan was so angry that his eyes turned red, and he went straight to the main courtyard to settle the score with Wu Ziya.

Chu Yun quickly dissuaded her: "Madam, you just came back, you should go back to your room and rest. Master Ping hasn't seen you for several months. Don't you want to see him? And the Marquis, you have to see the Marquis when you come back, right? Don't you miss him?"

Marquis of Pingyang?

Lu Yan?

Bai Wanyi had been flattered these days, and she felt a little dizzy. She almost forgot about him. She hesitated for a moment and didn't say anything, then she heard the housekeeper say:

"Madam, the Marquis has gone to Shenyang City to provide disaster relief and is not in the capital."

"She's not here. Then let's go find Mrs. Wu." Bai Wanyi turned and walked towards the main courtyard.

Chu Yun frowned as she watched her quickly leaving, and told a passing maid to follow her. She asked the housekeeper about the situation in the mansion over the past few months.

Main courtyard.

The doctor had just left and everyone in the yard was busy. No one noticed Bai Wanyi who had just entered. As soon as she reached the door, she heard voices inside.

Wu Ziya touched her belly with a happy look on her face: "This little thing is only two months old, why do I feel like he can move?"

The nurse smiled and said, "It takes four or five months to feel the fetus moving. Miss, you feel like there are movements now because you think so in your heart. And with a little life in your belly, you will always feel it."

Wu Ziya immediately became worried again: "But I can't eat anything. I want to eat at Qianxianglou, but I can't make a reservation and they don't allow takeout. It's really difficult."

"Then Miss, why don't you try something else?" The wet nurse has been worried about Wu Ziya's meals these days.

Bai Wanyi was listening to the conversation between the two people inside at the door, and was struck by lightning. He worked so hard to gain fame and career for his family, but Lu Yan actually made Wu pregnant!

Bai Wanyi clenched his fists, took a deep breath, calmed himself, and then lifted the curtain and walked in: "I just came out of the Ministry of Industry and heard that my sister is pregnant. It's really a happy event."

Wu Ziya didn't even know Bai Wanyi was coming back. She looked at Bai Wanyi in surprise and quickly stood up and walked over to her, "Sister, you're finally back. Someone, go get Master Ping."

After saying that, Wu Ziya pulled Bai Wanyi to sit beside the couch and asked, "Why didn't you send someone to deliver a message?"

After she finished speaking, she slapped her lips again and said with a smile, "I was negligent. My sister went to the Ministry of Industry to work on confidential matters and couldn't contact home. I should have asked people to check on her more often."

Bai Wanyi didn't know whether what she said was true or not, nor did he care. He just looked at her belly and smiled, "It's okay. During this period of time, not only me, but also other officials and craftsmen in the Ministry of Works have been detained and unable to communicate with their families."
