The maid pouted, feeling wronged. The Empress was so wealthy; if she had revealed her hand from the beginning, her young mistress wouldn't have been able to donate so much grain.
Now, the young lady has truly lost both her money and her lover.
"Exactly, Miss, how are we going to explain this to the master when we get back?"
The other girl also looked worried.
"It's alright, this wasn't our fault, I'm sure my father will understand."
Mu Yurou said that, but she was really unsure of herself.
"However, I have a feeling that these young ladies from noble families will definitely not let this go so easily! Let's wait and see, maybe there will be an unexpected surprise!"
Mu Yurou waited in her small courtyard in the capital, but unfortunately, after several days, nothing happened outside.
Those young ladies from noble families all hid in their homes, like mute girls.
"That shouldn't be the case!"
Mu Yurou strolled aimlessly down the street with a worried expression.
"Miss, doesn't that person look like Madam Han?"
Mu Yurou was lost in thought when she heard this. She quickly looked up and saw a slender figure enter a shop.
The woman disappeared in the blink of an eye after she went inside.
Mu Yurou looked up at the shop's name, Lingxiu Pavilion, this...
“Miss, I have a feeling it’s her. Don’t you remember when we were in Yancheng, she inquired about buying a shop so her mother could do embroidery?”
Mu Yurou nodded. She had been in the capital for over a month, and she never expected to see Madam Han before she left.
"Let's go in and take a look!"
After the master and servant entered, they looked around the embroidery shop but did not see Han Luoxue.
"Miss, what would you like to buy?"
Hearing the embroiderer's polite question, Mu Yurou smiled slowly: "I would like to ask if the woman who just came in was surnamed Han?"
The embroiderer sized her up. "Miss, who are you?"
"Mrs. Han and I are friends. We met in Yancheng. I just saw a figure that looked a bit like her, so I came to ask about it..."
Mu Yurou spoke politely and courteously.
"May I ask your surname, young lady?" the embroiderer asked again.
"My surname is Mu!"
After a moment, Han Luoxue came out from the inner room. Mu Yurou's pupils shrank. She didn't expect that after more than a month, Madam Han had become even more beautiful!
"Mrs. Han, what a coincidence that we meet here!"
Mu Yurou smiled happily, and Han Luoxue smiled faintly: "Yes, I didn't expect to meet Miss Mu in the capital. What a coincidence!"
"Mrs. Han, does your mother own this shop?" Mu Yurou asked curiously, looking around.
This shop is quite large and in a good location. It will take a lot of money to open an embroidery shop.
"This place... well, it's not really. It's a joint venture between my mother and one of her sisters!"
"That's quite impressive! Mrs. Han, it's fate that we met in the faraway capital. It's destiny that we could meet here. I'll treat you to lunch today..."
Before Mu Yurou could finish speaking, Han Luoxue interrupted her with a smile: "Miss Mu, you always treated me when we were in Yancheng. Now that we're in the capital, I'll treat you!"
What a joke! How could Han Luoxue possibly let Mu Yurou treat her to a meal?
"This..." Mu Yurou was still a little hesitant, after all, she was the one who took the initiative to come to her.
"Miss Mu, please feel free to look around here for a bit. I'll go inside and give some instructions, and we'll go out together in a little while!"
Han Luoxue went into the inner room again, where Sister Zhen was still looking at the patterns.
"Friend?" She looked up and smiled when she saw Han Luoxue come in.
"I guess so! We knew each other before!"
Sister Zhen instantly understood, "That really is her loss!"
She knew Han Luoxue before, but she didn't treat her as a friend. Isn't that her loss?
"Maybe! Do you see any problems with these? If not, we can arrange it here!"
"It will be all right!"
Han Luoxue gave a few more instructions before leaving with the two maids.
Zui Xiang Lou remains the best restaurant in the capital. Mu Yurou's eyes darted around, and the maid beside her was shocked.
Back in Yancheng, I had suspected that Madam Han's identity might be more than just a simple person, but now that I see...
They had been in the capital for over a month and knew that Zuixianglou was expensive and difficult to book a room in.
Not to mention the private rooms upstairs, even the seats in the main hall downstairs need to be booked five or six days in advance.
It's said that it's impossible to get a private room without booking for at least ten days to half a month.
But Madam Han led them directly to the third floor.
"Madam Han, do you know the owner of this restaurant?"
It wasn't until they entered the private room that Mu Yurou asked in a low voice.
"I guess we know each other, I've worked with him before!"
Being able to cooperate with the owner of Zuixianglou? Mu Yurou's opinion of Han Luoxue rose even higher.
"Madam Han, it's been a long time since I've seen your young master and young lady. They must have grown quite a bit by now, haven't they?"
It must be said that Mu Yurou is quite a good conversationalist.
She knows when to say what is most appropriate. In front of a mother, saying good things about her child will never create an awkward silence.
"That's great! The two little ones have grown quite a bit and are eating and sleeping well!" Han Luoxue smiled gently.
"That's great! Do you have a wet nurse at home? Won't the children miss you if you come out like this?" Mu Yurou asked again with a smile.
“There’s a wet nurse, and the child’s grandparents are also looking after her. They care even more than the wet nurse! They’re both so young, all they need is someone to play with them. Besides, they’re with me in the mornings, evenings, and at night!”
Mu Yurou was shocked. At first, she guessed that Han Luoxue was probably the mistress of some high-ranking official in the capital, the kind that couldn't be brought into the open.
And because she was quite favored, her husband sent her to another place to give birth, probably because he was afraid that the first wife in the family would find out.
But now...
It seems she misunderstood from the start. Madam Han wasn't a mistress at all; she was a legitimate wife.
"That's great, they should be very happy, right?"
Suddenly you have both a boy and a girl, something many people would kill for!
"Yes, I'm very happy. I used to be busy with other things, but since we had these two, I haven't cared about anything else. We both focus on taking care of the children!"
Thinking of the Empress Dowager and the late Emperor, Han Luoxue couldn't help but smile.
There was a knock on the door, and soon the waiter came in and set out the food.
It must be said that the food at Zuixianglou is quite good, with excellent color, aroma, and taste.
"Miss Mu, I didn't know you had suddenly come to the capital, otherwise I would definitely have come to pick you up! By the way, do you have any business in the capital?"
Han Luoxue asked casually.
"Actually, it's nothing serious." Mu Yurou said with a bitter expression when talking about the purpose of coming to the capital.
Even her maid couldn't help but say, "Madam Han, you don't know the current Empress..."
