Chapter 42 Leisurely Eatery



In this era where everything is natural, antibiotics have an immediate effect.

Little Youran watched as her mother's health improved day by day.

Jiang Youchen watched as her mother gradually recovered and returned to her usual state of endlessly doting on her younger sister and ignoring her without any limits.

However, seeing his mother's health improving, he could only repeatedly convince himself that he should just let it go and get used to it.

After seven days at the Fuyue Inn, Su's health had fully recovered.

Xiao Youran suggested, "We're leaving the capital tomorrow, how about we go check out the restaurant owned by the Shen brothers?"

Jiang Youchen naturally agreed.

Although they were the major shareholders and had made it clear beforehand that the Shen brothers would be in charge of the restaurant's affairs, he still wanted to see how well the restaurant was prepared.

Just then, Madam Su's health improved somewhat, and the group discussed setting off for Taizhou the next day to find their great-aunt and the others.

It would be good to check out the restaurants before leaving.

So, Zhao's mother gave Su a neat and tidy hairstyle, changed her into an inconspicuous outfit, and then led the mother and her two children toward the newly opened restaurant.

The restaurant was very close by, so Jiang Youchen suggested that they take a walk on the street and let his mother get out and relax.

As soon as the group stepped out of the inn, they saw a group of soldiers escorting several people past them.

The one leading the group was Lu Ning. When Xiao Youran saw him, she waved to him and called out in a clear voice, "Uncle Lu."

Lu Ning, who had been walking straight ahead, heard a familiar soft voice while walking down the street. She looked in the direction of the voice, and a smile immediately appeared on her face. She took a few big steps to stand in front of the group and said, "Little girls, it's you."

He didn't know why, but seeing this little girl made him feel very happy.

When Madam Su saw her approaching, she curtsied to him and said, "Greetings, Lord Lu."

Lu Ning nodded, "Madam is much better now, congratulations."

"I am very grateful for Lord Lu's care. Now that I am fully recovered, I plan to leave the capital for Taizhou tomorrow."

Lu Ning's face showed admiration. "Please take care on your journey, Madam."

He had been helped by the Yun family in his early years, and he felt very guilty about leading troops to raid the Yun family this time. That's why he reminded Zhou about the household registration matter in advance.

To everyone's surprise, the Jingzhao Prefecture, being obsequious to the powerful and condescending to the weak, refused to allow the elderly, weak, women, and children of the Yun family to stay in the outskirts of the capital, and thus they had always been somewhat worried about their lives.

Seeing that the mother and her two children were still heading to Taizhou, I felt even more favorably toward them and was willing to say a few more words to them.

Thinking of the mother and her two children traveling to Taizhou, he offered, "How about I write you a letter of recommendation? There are some post stations along the way where you can stop for rest. What do you think?"

Madam Su was overjoyed and quickly expressed her gratitude, saying, "Thank you, Lord Lu."

Xiao Youran remembered Brother Wang Wu and immediately praised him, saying, "Uncle Lu sent Brother Wang Wu to us last time. He was very impressive. When he upheld justice for us people, he was decisive, efficient, fair and just."

Lu Ning laughed heartily, unable to resist touching her cute little pigtails, "You little girl, do you know what fairness and justice are?"

Xiao Youran said confidently, "He stood on our side without saying a word. Isn't that fair and just?"

Lu Ning laughed even louder, “Our officers and soldiers of the Five Cities Garrison must stand by the side of the people, so naturally they are fair and just.”

Xiao Youran then offered another timely compliment, "He's Uncle Lu's man, which is all thanks to Uncle Lu's excellent guidance."

Lu Ning was in a good mood, thinking that the little dumpling was really cute. "You little girl have such a sweet tongue."

Little Youran then pointed at the group of people being escorted and asked in her childish voice, "Uncle Lu, who are all these people you've arrested?"

Lu Ning glanced at the departing troop of soldiers and said coldly, "That's the family of the innkeeper of the Yuelai Inn where you stayed the other day. In the past few days, we've investigated and found that he dared to harbor fugitives in the inn and is also suspected of poisoning the prince consort of the current princess. His whole family will be exiled three thousand miles away."

Xiao Youran chuckled, "What about Yuelai Inn?"

"With such a major incident, how can the inn continue to operate? It will close down the day you leave!" Lu Ning hurriedly said a few words before taking his leave.

Xiao Youran couldn't help but hiss, opening the little blue book in her mind. Sure enough, she saw the shopkeeper's page, with a line of text at the bottom: "Hiding a fugitive has been exposed, and he is sentenced to exile for three thousand miles."

Below are still two buttons: "Resolved" and "Unresolved".

Xiao You Ran: ……

After thinking for a moment, she clicked the first button.

Then the page disappeared, and the third page that appeared was the sentence she had threatened the old manager of the restaurant a few days ago: "If you dare to hit my brother, your whole family will be in trouble."

She felt a pang of sympathy, wondering what kind of bad luck this unfortunate old man was going through.

Now she has no doubt whatsoever about the functionality of this little accounting notebook.

The Shen family's restaurant is sure to be a great success.

She glanced at her merit points again; they had become 10.

So, was it the octopus guy who contributed the gratitude points?

When we arrived at the restaurant, we saw that the signboard had been changed to "You Ran Restaurant".

Xiao You Ran: ……

This... doesn't seem to be the name of the restaurant they ran in their previous life.

And...did you ask for my opinion before using my name as the name of your restaurant?

The restaurant was clearly not open yet; several doors were ajar, and the paper windows had all been removed, with figures moving around inside.

The group pushed open the door and went inside.

The person busy inside looked up and came running over excitedly; it was Shen Zhangyu.

Shen Zhangyu was clearly pleased to see the Jiang siblings, but upon noticing the beautiful young woman accompanying them, he quickly bowed and said, "This must be Madam Jiang? This humble one greets Madam Jiang."

Madam Su nodded and smiled gently, "We're leaving the capital tomorrow, and Ranran said she wanted to come and visit, so we came. We hope we haven't bothered you?"

Shen Zhangyu was stunned. Was Madam Jiang really this gentle?

Upon hearing this, Shen Zhangfu and Sister-in-law Shen also came over to pay their respects.

Su asked curiously, "Why is your restaurant called 'Leisurely Restaurant'?"

Sister-in-law Shen blushed slightly and looked at Xiao Youran, "We all think that Miss Jiang is our little lucky charm... uh... our benefactor, so we thought of using Miss Jiang's name as the name of our restaurant. We're sure our restaurant will be very successful and our business will be booming."

Upon hearing the praise for Xiao Youran, Madam Su's face immediately blossomed into a radiant smile. "Hehe, you all have such excellent taste! Our Xiao Youran is so elegant and refined! You made the right choice by using her name for the restaurant! This restaurant's business will surely flourish and bring in abundant wealth!"

Jiang Youchen: ...

As expected, she's still the same mother who unconditionally praises her younger sister!
