Han Yiyi mentally prepared herself countless times before turning around to get the chamber pot.
There was no other way. Putting aside whether my small frame could help someone to the toilet, his wound couldn't be moved any further; if it was moved again, it might really never heal.
Han Yi took a deep breath before stepping forward to lift the blanket, but the next moment she quickly pulled it back up, her face turning bright red. How could she forget that she had pulled down this guy's pants earlier?
When Nangong Yuan saw Han Yiyi lift her blanket, but then quickly cover herself with it again, he looked anxious, as if he was about to cry.
"Mother, hurry, Yuan'er can't hold it in any longer..."
Han Yiyi: I really feel like killing someone right now. She let out a deep breath, closed her eyes, threw off the blanket, and shoved the chamber pot directly onto it.
"Mother, move a little to the side, or Yuan'er will pee on your hands..."
Han Yiyi: Another ten thousand curses are galloping over my head, I feel like I can't even hold my hands anymore.
Afterwards, Han Yiyi threw the chamber pot, along with the clothes she had stripped from Nangong Yuan, into the back mountain. Looking down at her hands, she thought about what had just happened and wanted to throw them away too…
There weren't any clothes at home that Nangong Yuan could wear, and they couldn't just leave him naked all the time! So, Han Yiyi, feeling frustrated, redeemed some clothes for him through the system.
However, to make it easier to change his dressing, we simply changed him into a long bathrobe and then put shorts on him before we were done. As for the rest, we'll deal with it after he gets out of bed.
In the Yun Mansion in Kyoto, Yun Xiao looked at the account book in his hand with disbelief on his face and asked the steward beside him.
"Manager Liu, are you sure this is Ping'an Town's account book for this month...?"
The steward, upon hearing his master's question, quickly bowed and replied.
"Young master, this is indeed the account book of Ping'an Town for this month. This old servant also finds it unbelievable, so I have checked it many times and there are no errors..."
Upon hearing Manager Liu's words, Yun Xiao's eyes flickered. He recalled that in Ping'an Town, he had asked Manager Tong to buy a braised meat recipe from a peasant woman. They had used that recipe to almost double the sales of all the restaurants under the Yun family's name.
He looked down at the ledger in his hand again. It was more than double; it was more than ten times the previous amount, and the profit was even higher than that of Yunlai Restaurant in Kyoto.
Yun Xiao put down the ledger in his hand, tapped his fingers rhythmically on the table, and spoke after a moment.
"If I remember correctly, tomorrow is the end-of-month summary..."
"Yes, young master."
"Get ready, starting this month, the manager who ranks first in sales and profits at the restaurant will receive a bonus of two hundred taels..."
The Yun family's businesses can be said to span the entire Beichen region, including tea, cloth, transportation, restaurants, and more. Among them, there are no fewer than twenty restaurants, and Manager Liu is the general manager in charge of the restaurants.
To incentivize the restaurant owners, Yun Xiao established a reward and punishment system: the third-highest monthly sales would be rewarded with ten taels of silver, the second-highest with fifty taels, and the first-highest with one hundred taels. However, if sales were too low and the restaurant ranked last three times in a row, the owner would be dismissed.
As a result, the more prosperous the area, the more popular the manager is and the easier it is to become number one, such as Yunlai Restaurant in Kyoto. However, the smaller the town, the more difficult it is to do business and the easier it is to fall to the bottom, such as Yunlai Restaurant in Ping'an Town. This is one of the reasons why Manager Tong has always wanted to return to Kyoto.
Upon hearing his young master's words, Steward Liu acknowledged and withdrew.
After everyone left, Yun Xiao looked at the account book on the table and muttered to himself, "It seems I need to go to Ping'an Town again." Yun Xiao had a feeling that this trip to Ping'an Town would be quite fruitful.
The three Dongli people who had been in the cave had spent another day searching around the area, but still hadn't found any clues about Nangong Yuan. With the sun about to set, they decided to give up. But just as they were about to go back, one of them suddenly pointed in a certain direction and spoke.
"Boss, look what that is..."
As the group got closer, they saw that the clothes looked like they had been bitten to pieces.
The three men were very familiar with the clothes; they had been chasing the owner of the clothes for months. However, the clothes were now covered in blood and were tattered, as if they had been torn apart by some animal.
One of them picked it up, smelled it, and the next moment, he gagged, his clothes flying far away.
This is the same garment that Han Yiyi threw away along with the chamber pot in the back mountain. It not only has bloodstains on it, but also water that Nangong Yuan left behind. You can imagine how smelly it must have been.
As for why it's here, and torn to shreds, you'll have to ask the wild boar.
The other two frowned slightly when they saw their companion suddenly gagging.
It took the man a while to recover before he started cursing.
"We thought he was some kind of powerful person, but he's just a coward. He was so scared by the attack of a wild beast that he wet himself. He really disgraced the soldiers of Beichen. When our two armies face off in the future, I will definitely tell those cowardly Beichen soldiers about their general's 'heroic deeds'..."
Upon hearing their companion's words, the two understood and both wore sarcastic smiles. It seemed that Nangong Yuan, after being injured, had encountered a wild beast and, while being torn apart by it, had been so terrified he wet himself.
"Alright, we've already wasted enough time on this trip. It's getting late, and it's not safe to travel at night. We'll set off early tomorrow morning..."
The three of them had forgotten that they had just called the other a coward, but now they themselves were too afraid to even walk alone at night.
In the council hall, the managers looked at the person sitting at the head of the table with surprise in their eyes. They wondered why the young master had come in person today, but none of them dared to ask.
Because they knew that although this young master usually had a warm smile, he was actually a meticulous and shrewd person.
Yun Xiao merely glanced at everyone indifferently, showing no intention of speaking. Upon seeing this, Steward Liu understood the purpose of his young master's visit today.
It seemed that he wanted to take this opportunity to teach a lesson to that old fox who liked to act arrogantly on ordinary days. With that thought, Manager Liu looked at one of the shopkeepers.
Sure enough, everyone else kept their heads slightly lowered, not daring to make any unnecessary movements. Only he not only picked up his teacup and took a sip, but also showed little respect on his face. In his eyes, Yun Xiao was just a little kid who hadn't even grown his first hair yet.
When Manager Liu saw Manager Wang like this, he frowned deeply, but thinking about what was about to happen, he held back the words of reprimand he wanted to say.
This man was Manager Wang of the Yunlai Restaurant in Kyoto.
Because this person started doing business with Yun Xiao's grandfather when he was young, and later followed Yun Xiao's father, who is the current head of the Yun family, Yun Yong, he can now be considered an elder of the Yun family.
