Transmigrator Meets Reincarnator

Chapter 275

"Like Guilin Restaurant?" He Changdi was curious about his wife's thoughts.

When Chu Lian was managing Guilin Restaurant, he didn't participate. Now, he wanted to help his wife.

Chu Lian shook her head.

"What's the point of opening the same restaurant? This time, I'm opening a roast duck restaurant to sell the same roast duck I made in the imperial residence. You've eaten it. What do you think?"

He Sanlang suddenly laughed heartily, "Then the Fourth Prince is going to complain to your husband."

Chu Lian tilted her head in confusion. Realization dawned on her. "Yue Hong Restaurant is Prince Jin's property?"

Yue Hong Restaurant was the most famous restaurant in Shengjing.

Last year, Royal Princess Duanjia had specially brought her there, but she could only laugh at the taste.

"Isn't that better? Prince Jin is rich anyway. It's just a signature dish of Yue Hong Restaurant.

Besides, my restaurant won't only sell one dish of roast duck. "

He Changdi was helpless. "This time, I'll find someone to help you. Don't do everything yourself."

If Chu Lian personally managed the restaurant, it would be tiring, and people would gossip about her.

If she handed it over to someone else, even if they had suspicions, they wouldn't talk about it without any evidence. It would also protect Chu Lian and Matriarch's peace on the surface.

Chu Lian knew that He Changdi was doing this for her own good, so she didn't object. Before the restaurant opened, she'd just visit it a few times in secret.

Chu Lian nodded.

He Sanlang reached out and pulled Chu Lian into his arms. "When Father returns, we'll move out."

Chu Lian's eyes widened when she heard his words. She placed her hand on his chest and asked, "Really?"

She immediately felt that it wasn't possible. Although there were three brothers in Duke Jing 'an's residence, the eldest brother was divorced and had no children. The second brother was stubborn and hadn't married yet. Although she and He Changdi got married last year, they only consummated their marriage not long ago.

There was Matriarch He, who was getting older, and her mother-in-law, who had just recovered.

It didn't make sense for her and He Changdi to separate at this time.

He Changdi had been staring at his wife's face. When he saw the joy on her face when she heard that they were going to move out, he was even more certain of his decision.

Now that Aunt and Young Lady Biao were in the mansion, grandmother became suspicious. There was a saying among the people, "Fragrance far away, stink near."

Now that he was a marquis, a family with two marquises shouldn't be living together. Once his father returned, he could hand the house over to his father. Then, he would have a way to convince his father to let the couple move out.

Second Older Brother couldn't possibly stay single forever. When Father came back, he would make the decision for him. Mother's health was recovering day by day, so there was nothing for him to worry about in Duke Jing 'an's estate.

When the time came, the entire mansion would be managed by his wife, and he wouldn't have to be sandwiched between his grandmother and his wife.

He Changdi stroked the top of her head. "When has your husband ever lied to you?"

Suddenly, Chu Lian was in a good mood. She didn't care how He Changdi would convince her parents-in-law. She just waited to move out with him.

The couple cuddled for a while more before getting up to eat together.

The next day, the person He Changdi had arranged for Chu Lian arrived.

This person was He Changdi's personal guard in the northern army. He was only eighteen years old, and his name was Zhou Wen. He was currently working under He Changdi. Because he was quick-witted and his family had been merchants for generations, he was sent to help Chu Lian manage the shop.

Zhou Wen bowed respectfully to Chu Lian. Because he had been in the northern army for many years, his face was tanned and skinny. When he smiled, his white teeth were revealed, making him look rather silly.

When he opened his mouth, he didn't call her Third Young Madam or Marquis An Yuan. Instead, he said, "Sister-in-law."

Chu Lian's forehead twitched. This brat looked like an idiot. Was He Changdi sure he hadn't misjudged him and sent the most honest person over?

Chu Lian nodded and gestured for him to sit down.

"Do you know why you're here?"

Zhou Wen laughed foolishly and scratched his head in embarrassment. "Big Brother He sent me here to help Sister-in-law earn money."

Chu Lian burst out laughing. This brat was too honest.

But could he really manage the shop with such an idiot?

"I've heard from my brothers that the food here is delicious. I wonder if I can try it today." After saying that, he lowered his head in embarrassment.

Chu Lian finally found some redeeming qualities about this brat that could shamelessly scrounge off a meal.

"After I'm done with everything, you can stay for lunch at noon. I'll have Laiyue take you to the guest courtyard in the front to eat."

Chu Lian wasn't someone who was stingy with a meal.

When she really discussed the shop with Zhou Wen, who looked naive and naive, she was surprised to realize that he wasn't what he looked like.

He was a classic example of a wolf in sheep's clothing. Perhaps it was due to the influence of a small family, but he was very experienced in running a shop and had his own ideas.

If she didn't pay attention, she might be fooled by this brat's appearance.

If she really had to compare, Zhou Wen and Steward Qin weren't that far apart.

After lunch, Laiyue sent the satisfied Zhou Wen off.

Chu Lian sent a letter to Princess Duanjia and told her that she was going to reopen the restaurant. When Princess Duanjia heard that she was going to use roast duck as the main dish, she specially came over to discuss with her and gave her suggestions.

Time passed quickly. He Changdi's long vacation was over. Now, he had to work at the Martial Arts Selection Department every day and attend court in the morning.

In February, the days were short and the nights were long. When He Sanlang went out early in the morning, the sky was still dark.

Two days ago, Chu Lian insisted on waking up with him and eating with him. Then, she sent him to the gate of the courtyard. However, she couldn't sleep well because of this. When it was time to go to Qingyuan Hall to pay her respects, she would be extremely sleepy and sleep again when she came back. It had only been three or four days, but her schedule was already disrupted. She felt dizzy all day long.

He Changdi noticed this. One morning, Chu Lian vaguely felt movement beside her and wanted to get up. However, in the next second, she was pressed under He Sanlang's body …

After a morning exercise, Chu Lian didn't even have the strength to move her fingers. How could she get up to eat with him?

However, this way, she didn't need to wake up early and slept much better.

He Sanlang was like this for several days. After they were done, Chu Lian's back was sore and she couldn't even open her eyes. However, He Sanlang was more energetic than usual.

Later, Chu Lian couldn't take it anymore and obediently went to bed in the morning. Only then did He Sanlang let her go.

Time passed quickly. One day, when Chu Lian accompanied Countess Jing 'an, the Liu matriarch, to Qingyuan Hall to pay her respects, Matriarch He suddenly mentioned something.

Chu Lian and her mother-in-law were instantly stunned.

Countess Jing 'an, the Liu matriarch, said in surprise, "Mother, I'll be the housekeeper?"

Matriarch He sat at the head of the table. Mu Xiang and Pan Nianzhen were massaging her shoulders and legs. She had a relaxed expression as she opened her eyes slightly to look at the Liu matriarch. "You've pretty much recovered now, and you're the daughter-in-law of the head of the household. It's only right that you take charge of the household."
