The two old ladies comforted each other, saying that the restaurant had a large customer base and all of the food must have been sold, otherwise it would have been stored in the ice cellar.
But why is there no news from Xie Wanyun? She hasn't returned to the Marquis' Mansion yet? They can't lose that money; it's all their earnings that they've distributed. If it goes down the drain, wouldn't all their hard work be in vain?
That day, Wei couldn't help herself and dragged Wei Mingyue to Chenlou. The waiters, who didn't recognize her, enthusiastically found her a private room. She sat down, ordered two dishes, and asked, "Are your cheese snacks good here? Bring me two plates."
The waiter was stunned and shook his head. "Madam, Chenlou doesn't have any cheese snacks. Our steamed buns and pastries are pretty good. Would you like a couple?"
Wei's mouth dropped open. It was unbelievable! Didn't Xie Wanyun say she wanted to sell dim sum at the restaurant?! She couldn't help but raise her voice.
"How could there be none? Your boss personally bought the cheese and put it in the restaurant to make snacks!"
"Madam, you must be mistaken. There really isn't any. If you want to eat dim sum, you should go to a dim sum shop. This is a restaurant, a place to eat." The waiter touched his head, puzzled.
Wei stared at Wei Mingyue with a piercing gaze, "Didn't you say that Chenlou had a lot of cheese?"
"Well, that's... I heard about it." Wei Mingyue lowered her head guiltily. She hadn't even come to see it, she just asked someone to ask the waiter here, and the waiter confirmed that it was there, so she told Wei the same thing.
"You even lied to your aunt?" Wei felt disheartened. She had watched this niece grow up. Since her family was poor and she had no daughter, she treated her as her own daughter. Unexpectedly, Wei Mingyue did not think so. She just used her and treated her as an ATM.
He had no mood to eat at the moment, so he went from shop to shop looking for Xie Wanyun.
But the Xie family had so many shops. When she arrived at one, the owner said she was in another. She rushed to the next, but the owner said the boss had just left. After rushing to five or six shops like this, she was so tired that she sat in the corner, panting.
The Qin family originally had several carriages, but since Xie Wanyun cut down on expenses, there was only one left. Early this morning, Qin Su'an took Liu Yun'er out in it.
Wei had hired a carriage to visit Chenlou, which dropped her off before leaving. The distance was not too far, and carriages were hard to find, so she had no choice but to walk. The weather was hot, and she was wearing so many clothes that her sweat soaked through her undergarments, which clung to her skin and made her feel cold.
Wei Mingyue accompanied her, already impatient, and inevitably made a face, which made Wei Shi even more upset. But if she didn't find Xie Wanyun today, she really couldn't rest assured! That was several thousand taels of silver!
It wasn't until they entered the seventh shop that they finally found Xie Wanyun. She was sitting quietly at the counter, looking at the account book! Wei, not bothering with politeness, strode over, pulled her aside, and asked how the cheese business was going.
Xie Wanyun put down the account book in his hand, his face ashamed, shook his head and said nothing.
Wei's heart, which had been hanging in the balance for so long, finally slammed down on her feet. She couldn't even speak clearly, and stammered, "Tell me, what's going on?"
Yuzhui, who was standing by, stepped forward and pulled away her hand that was clutching Xie Wanyun's sleeve, saying, "Madam, what are you doing? You're just holding onto my wife in public. Aren't you afraid of being laughed at?"
Wei cursed in a shrill voice, "Get out of my way! I'm talking to your master, do you have the right to interrupt me, a servant?"
Yu Zhui said calmly, "Madam, you know I'm a servant. A servant's duty is to take good care of the master. If anyone does something bad to Madam, I will naturally speak out."
Wei was so angry that she almost fainted. This damn girl didn't even take her seriously!
Xie Wanyun quietly looked at Wei's increasingly pale face, and suddenly sighed and said, "Madam, I'm so sorry."
Wei's vision went dark, and she fell. Then she vaguely heard Xie Wanyun's clear voice.
"Someone come quickly and bring a chair for the madam."
Her thousands of taels of silver were just wasted like that?
