After she finished speaking, she walked away and continued to look at the man downstairs. Seeing him smiling as he walked towards the woman in the middle, she felt a surge of displeasure. "Hmph, what kind of teacher is he? He's just a vixen."

Liu Huan, who had been called a vixen, met the eyes of the person upstairs, and Sun Xiaoju quickly looked away.

Liu Huan asked Guan Chang, who had already sat down, "Brother-in-law, who was that person just now?"

"You mean that waiter? She's Sun Xiaohua's cousin. Only four people came that day. Sun Xiaohua said her cousin is a very responsible person and that she could take care of her. I saw that she was a good worker, so I agreed."

Liu Huan understood, "If any of these people are not serious or make frequent mistakes, then let's just fire them to avoid spoiling the whole pot of soup."

Guan Chang nodded. "I know. Shall we go back after we finish eating?"

Liu Huan cleared her throat. "Let's sit for a while longer."

She'll definitely run into Stone if she goes back now; it seems she's forgotten how to get along with Stone.

Guan Chang thought she wanted to check on the shop's condition for the evening, so he said, "Okay, let's go together after we finish work."

This suited Liu Huan perfectly. However, two more guests arrived shortly afterward, and they gave up their seats. Even so, Liu Huan didn't leave and went to the kitchen.

This caused widespread panic; everyone was afraid of Liu Huan and felt that he was more stern.

The shop was busy until 7:15 PM.

Because Liu Huan and Guan Changzai were present, the shopkeeper gathered everyone together.

Liu Huan summarized what happened in the afternoon.

"Walking carefully is the most basic thing, and people upstairs should not come downstairs to wander around, especially when there are many people."

"When you're not busy, wouldn't it be better to sit on the bench outside and rest? Just imagine if you accidentally spilled something scalding hot on someone important, who would be responsible?"

Each floor has benches specifically for the waiters, so they can sit down and rest whenever they're not busy.

After saying that, she stared at Sun Xiaoju for a few seconds, "If there is a next time, you don't need to go through me and Guan Dongjia. The shopkeeper will just settle the bill and leave and compensate the customer for all losses."

"Don't take up any more of your time, go back and rest."

After everyone dispersed, the old woman who had been guarding outside came in; she was hired by the restaurant specifically to clean.

Everyone watched Liu Huan and Guan Chang get into the carriage before leaving.

Fearing it would be unsafe for them to go too far back, the restaurant rented dormitories behind the restaurant, separating men and women.

However, very few people stayed there; only a few waiters, the Sun Xiaohua sisters, and a few cleaning ladies rested there.

After returning home, Sun Xiaoju kept complaining to Sun Xiaohua, "I don't think Master Liu is any good. Even the Guan family didn't say anything, but she came to lecture us."

Sun Xiaohua regretted bringing Sun Xiaoju in.

She said seriously, "She is also the owner here; she has a share in this restaurant."

Sun Xiaoju didn't care. "So what? Even Guan Dong's family didn't say anything to me. She even said a few words to me after the meeting. I think she's just jealous of me."

Sun Xiaohua felt like she had heard the biggest joke in the world. "You say people are jealous of you? Where do you get the nerve?"

Sun Xiaoju snorted, "You don't know, do you? This Master Liu used to be a maid. Although she served the princess, it's a fact that she was a maid."

"Based on this alone, I am more noble than her, and I don't think I'm any less attractive."

Seeing that she was getting more and more outrageous, Sun Xiaohua immediately interrupted her: "Stop, what you're saying is getting more and more absurd. Since that's what you think, then tomorrow I'll tell the shopkeeper that you're not suitable to work here, and you should go back as soon as possible."

Sun Xiaoju glared at her fiercely, "You dare? If you dare to go, I'll have my mother sell your brother. Humph, don't think you can escape my family's control just because you've entered Chunhui Tower to work."

"Now that I'm in here, you'd better behave yourself, or your brother will be the one to suffer."

After saying that, she took off her work clothes and put on her own skirt, then threw the work clothes on the stool and said, "It's so ugly, I really don't understand why I would wear such an ugly skirt."

Sun Xiaohua ignored her, washed up, and went to bed.

Sun Xiaoju changed her clothes, applied lip rouge, closed the door, and went out.

Sun Xiaohua was already used to it and knew that when she went out, she was just chatting with the man next door and wouldn't do anything out of line.

She was almost asleep when Sun Xiaoju pushed open the door and came in, disdainfully tossing a beaded hairpin onto the table, saying, "Who cares about a broken beaded hairpin?"

After she finished talking, she washed up and went to bed. By the time she was done, the old woman next door who had finished cleaning had also returned.

She complained from her bed, "What bad luck to live with a bunch of old women."

Tomorrow it will be their turn to serve on the first floor. The first floor is no easier than the second or third floor, so she needs to make the most of her time to get some sleep.

Ignoring the madness, Sun Xiaoju quickly drifted off to sleep.

Liu Huan followed Guan Chang back home and sneaked into her room.

Seeing the pear blossom hairpin on the table, her face turned bright red. Qiu Rong brought hot water to help her wash up. After washing up, she lay on the bed, tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep.

Guan Chang entered the room, and Su Wan was still awake, waiting for him.

Seeing him come in, she asked, "Why are you and Huanhuan so late?"

Guan Chang was puzzled when he talked about this, "I also wanted to come back sooner, but Huanhuan kept saying to wait a little longer, so I came back late."

Su Wan seemed to have thought of something, and looked at him with wide eyes.

Guan Chang was startled by her gaze and hurriedly explained, "Huanhuan and I are nothing, don't misunderstand."

Su Wan slapped his arm. "What nonsense are you talking about? What I want to say is that she and Shi Tou have been acting strangely since they came back from the Wang family this morning."

"It seems like she's deliberately avoiding him, and..." she continued in a low voice, "Shitou is telling Xiaoyi to call Huanhuan aunt."

After saying that, she hissed as if she had discovered something terrible, "Could it be that Shi Tou said he liked Huan Huan, but Huan Huan didn't want to?"

Guan Chang observed the two of them and felt that Liu Huan didn't seem to dislike Su Yi.

Perhaps he hadn't quite grasped it yet; when he came back after washing up, Su Wan was still thinking about it when he suddenly picked her up.

"My lady, the night is too short. Let them worry about it. Let's get down to business."

Su Wan punched his shoulder lightly, "You're always so unserious."

Just as the two were getting intimate, there was a knock on the door: "Third Madam, Young Master Huai is having a nightmare and keeps crying. He's begging you to comfort him."

Guan Huai is their second son, and he is only one year old.

"Oh, wait a moment while I change."

Guan Changjian was ready to act, but his son interrupted him, causing his face to darken. He turned to the side, panting heavily.

Su Wan quickly composed herself, got out of bed, drew the curtains, opened the door, and took her youngest son.

"You can go down now. Let him sleep next to us tonight."
