Little Youran happily said to Lu Ning, "Thank you, Uncle Lu."
Jiang Youchen felt he might have to start getting used to his sister's amazing antics, so he could only bow and say, "Thank you, Uncle Lu."
Lu Ning couldn't help but reach out and pat his shoulder, "You're a good kid."
Jiang Youchen looked utterly bewildered: ???
He didn't do anything.
Could it be that my sister has once again made me take the blame for something?
Xiao Youran winked at him and smiled sweetly, "Yes, brother is a good boy!"
Pointing to his own nose, he praised, "I'm a good child too!"
"Hahaha—they're all good kids!" Lu Ning laughed and returned to the inn.
Jiang Youchen: ...
Sister, could you come up with a different ending? Don't always end with you bragging...
The shopkeeper inside, who felt a chill all over his body, stared wide-eyed at Su Shi, who had almost fully recovered.
This is the frail woman who was diagnosed with incurable appendicitis by two doctors.
The waiter overheard this yesterday at the door. Wasn't this woman already in the later stages of her illness, in so much pain that she couldn't even get out of bed?
How come she was able to walk away on her own as if nothing had happened after just one night?
The soldier was very enthusiastic, helping to carry the luggage and leading Old Feng to the back door of the inn. He then brought out the carriage, and Su Shi, along with her son and daughter, got into the carriage.
During this brief respite, Shen Zhangyu, who had been hiding outside, approached Jiang Youchen, asked about their next stop at an inn, and then left.
The soldier sat on the edge of the carriage and pointed out the way to the Fuyue Inn. He then personally gave the innkeeper a few more instructions, settled the mother and her two children in, and then bid them farewell and left.
Little Youran slept soundly in her mother's arms at the new Fuyue Inn until the afternoon, when she was gently woken up by Zhao Mama's call.
It turned out that it was time for Su to take her medicine.
She obediently got up, and while Zhao's mother was helping her mother get up, she secretly added the antibiotic to the spoon again, scooped up a spoonful, blew on it, and put it into her mother's mouth.
The speed was so fast that neither Zhao's mother nor Su noticed anything unusual.
Even if Su tasted a slightly unusual bitterness on her tongue, she quickly forgot about it after the bitter medicine was fed to her.
Seeing that her mother looked much better than the previous two days, Xiao Youran smiled contentedly.
Jiang Youchen then pushed open the door and entered.
When Xiao Youran saw the plate of fried dough sticks in his hand, he happily shoved the medicine bowl into Zhao Mama's hands, climbed off the bed, dragged his shoes and ran to the table, grabbed the fried dough sticks and stuffed them into his mouth.
It was indeed crispy, fragrant, fluffy, soft, and delicious!
"Mmm, it's been improved, it's delicious!" She looked at her brother with a smile, "Is Octopus Bro here again?"
Jiang Youchen nodded, "He's quick and efficient. He modified the fried dough sticks and delivered them over, while my brother said he'd already found an old restaurant that he was looking to sell, not far from our Fulai Inn."
He glanced at his mother, then asked in a low voice, "He asked if we wanted to go and see him together?"
Xiao Youran exclaimed in surprise, "So fast?"
After finishing the last sip of her medicine, Madam Su heard the brother and sister whispering to each other and asked with a smile, "What are you talking about?"
Little Youran, holding the fried dough stick, ran to her mother's bedside. After thinking for a moment, she put the fried dough stick behind her back. "Mom, this food is too spicy, you can't eat it now."
Zhao's mother wanted to laugh, "How old is your daughter? How does she know about things that cause internal heat? Do you even know what 'internal heat' means?"
Xiao Youran raised her head. "Of course I know. Anyway, it's deep-fried, so Mother can't eat it."
She thought for a moment, then stuffed the fried dough stick into Zhao's mother's mouth. "Zhao's mother, you eat! You have to try it, it's delicious."
Zhao's mother was both amused and exasperated. She quickly took the half-eaten fried dough stick out of her mouth, tasted it carefully, and said, "It tastes really good."
Xiao Youran hugged Su Shi and said seriously, "Mother, you must take your medicine obediently and get well soon so you can eat delicious food."
Madam Su pinched her little nose. "Little Ranran, don't change the subject. Your mother heard everything you were talking about, what restaurant?"
Upon hearing this, Jiang Youchen's face immediately stiffened, and she had an ominous premonition that she was about to be blamed again.
Little You looked at her mother expectantly, nodded vigorously, then pointed in her brother's direction and said innocently, "Yes, brother is going to invest money to open a restaurant with someone, to make delicious food to sell..."
Jiang Youchen, who still didn't know how to explain to her mother where the two thousand taels of silver had gone: ...
I knew it would be like this.
Sister, you're making me take the blame again. Can you give me a hint before you do that, so I can be mentally prepared?
You were the one who agreed to open a restaurant together, and you were the one who stole all those silver notes and gave them to Shen Zhangyu!
He originally only intended to give him a one-hundred-tael silver note!
Zhao's mother was taken aback. "Young master, is what Miss said true?"
"It's true, the contract was signed this morning." Jiang Youchen stepped forward, feeling utterly hopeless, but still managed to salvage the situation. She explained, "But this is my sister..."
It was my sister who agreed!
Madam Su was also quite surprised and interrupted him, "According to what Lord Lu said this morning, we will not stay here for long. Chen'er, you want to do business with someone, do you mean you want to stay in the capital?"
Zhao's mother: ...
So you're used to your spendthrift daughter and son spending money recklessly? The young master is only seven years old. When he goes into business with someone, shouldn't your first reaction be: Has he been cheated? How much money was he cheated out of?
Where do you get the confidence to think that he will stay in the capital and start a business with partners and make it a great success?
Jiang Youchen was completely bewildered.
Can he say that he was only responsible for paying and signing, and had no other concept of anything else?
Even my sister said that the restaurant was handed over to Shen Zhangyu and her brother and sister-in-law to manage entirely.
Why did he choose to stay in the capital?
He weakly tried to explain again, "It was my sister who said..."
"Stop bringing up your sister. She's only four years old, what does she know?" Madam Su interrupted him, asking sternly, "Just tell me, how do you plan to run this restaurant business? Do you want to stay in the capital and not go to Taizhou with us?"
"I..." Jiang Youchen gave up struggling. Oh well, let it be.
Anyway, he's used to taking the blame.
Xiao Youran stepped in to help her brother out, "Mother, of course my brother will come with us, he won't stay in the capital. Uncle and Second Uncle's businesses are all over the Great Zhou, do they expect them to live in different places?"
Su was taken aback for a moment, then laughed, "That's right, our little Ranran is the smartest."
"Yes, I'm smart!"
Jiang Youchen: ...
