It's time to take care of my own business, Xiao Yuehan thought, and took Li'er and Zi Sangyu to ask for leave and came to "Mingyue Restaurant."

When she went to "Ming Yue Restaurant" again, she felt like she was back home. The familiar feeling came over her and made her feel warm.

Shopkeeper Jiang greeted her with a smile: "Princess, let's go check out your shop."

Xiao Yuehan looked at him in surprise: "What? So fast? Already done?"

Shopkeeper Jiang smiled and said, "It wasn't a big deal. We just cleaned it and painted it. We'll do the rest after the princess gives her instructions."

Several people came to the utility room under the restaurant. When Xiao Yuehan entered, he saw a completely different scene from last time.

She was pleasantly surprised by the neat and tidy appearance, and said happily, "You have cleaned it up, it is much better than I expected. Thank you, Shopkeeper Jiang."

Seeing that she was very happy, Shopkeeper Jiang said, "We have made some preliminary arrangements while we have time, but I don't know how the princess will decorate it. I don't know if the princess likes the color of the paint.

If you need any furniture, the princess will tell us to prepare it."

Xiao Yuehan was very happy. She turned around and looked around the room. In a window lattice, she saw a figure. She recognized him as the guard from the palace.

Her heart felt warm and the corners of her mouth rose slightly, although she felt that she no longer needed such protection.

But deep down, only she knew how much she longed to be protected by him.

Whenever Zi Sangyu did something that touched her heart, she would feel like a little woman curled up in his arms. That was a feeling of security and happiness.

Coming back to her senses, she pointed at various places in the room, gesturing and instructing Manager Jiang about them.

Shopkeeper Jiang nodded, interrupted, and gestured. Before long, the two reached a consensus.

Xiao Yuehan sat in her favorite private room, which faced the street. There were people coming and going on the street, some in a hurry, and some strolling leisurely.

On the street corner, a group of people gathered to watch the folk artists performing with guns and sticks. People cheered, held their breath, and applauded.

It adds a lot of vitality to this place.

Fragrant tea and desserts were served as usual, but Xiao Yuehan found that there was an incense burner on the small table today. Wisps of smoke curled up, and the fragrance diffused in the air, making people feel relaxed and happy.

"What kind of fragrance is this?" Xiao Yuehan used his hand to lift the smoke in the air and brought it to his nostrils.

"We asked the owner of the pharmacy to prepare some herbs that can repel mosquitoes, wake up the brain, and invigorate the spirit. They have a fragrant and sweet smell.

After just a few days of use, customers have responded well.”

Shopkeeper Jiang looked at Xiao Yuehan and said, "I wonder if the princess likes this taste."

Xiao Yuehan gently inhaled the aroma of the fragrance again, carefully experiencing it and said:

"This incense should contain borneol and cloves. Remove these two and add orchid and sandalwood. This way the smell will be warmer and softer."

Shopkeeper Jiang was quite surprised. He didn't know the princess had this ability and he kept praising her.

Xiao Yuehan thought that the sachet he made for the empress dowager was exactly the same as the incense made by Shopkeeper Jiang.

Why not try it out in restaurants and hamburger shops first? If there is a market for it, you can expand it later.

As for opening an aromatherapy shop, that will come later. I have to open the hamburger shop first, and the drugstore. I will do these two first.

She thought of something and asked Shopkeeper Jiang, "Last time I came here, I saw a locked room on the second floor. Is it a warehouse?

But Princess Huayang is here, so I can’t ask you.”

Shopkeeper Jiang pointed inside with his left hand and asked, "Is this the room?"

"Correct."

Shopkeeper Jiang took out the key from his waist and opened the door.

This is a neatly decorated room with many items on display.

The window facing the street was open, and in the middle was a large round table with many exquisite porcelains on it.

The two walls facing each other are tall cabinets with staggered frames of different sizes.

Jade, copper and silver wares were placed in each compartment, and four carved sandalwood boxes were placed under the windows.

Xiao Yuehan saw that the box was not locked, so he opened it and saw neatly folded women's clothes.

She opened the second box and saw clothes as well, but when she looked closely, she realized they were children's clothes.

She picked it up and shook it open, and what appeared before her was actually a doll's dress that showed signs of having been worn.

She pointed at the things in the room and asked Shopkeeper Jiang in confusion: "Why are these things here? Whose things are they?"

Shopkeeper Jiang stroked an exquisitely crafted jade horse and said, "These things belong to the eldest lady."

"My mother?"

"Yes." Shopkeeper Jiang wiped the spotless ornaments with the silk handkerchief in his hand.

"Why are my mother's things here?"

“This is the restaurant that the eldest lady’s family brought as a dowry. She was unhappy in the Xiao Mansion, so she often came to the restaurant.

Later, the master passed away and the restaurant was managed by the eldest daughter.

Luckily, your father doesn't care much about her, and she also regards this place as her home. These things were bought by the eldest lady at that time."

As he spoke, he pointed at the doll's clothes in Xiao Yuehan's hand and said, "Here, this is your dress."

Xiao Yuehan was surprised and opened the dress in her hands again to look at it carefully.

What a beautiful little dress, made of satin floral fabric, with delicate and beautiful piping, buttons arranged in a butterfly shape, and ribbons dotted in between.

The workmanship is excellent, beautiful and noble, which shows how much my mother loves me.

She continued to look through the box, looking for little dresses, little capes, little satin hats, little shoes.

They were clothes from when she was a baby to when she was about five years old. She knew that her mother had collected her clothes while she was growing up.

In an instant, she was in tears, and she couldn't help but think of the original owner, who had spent her childhood under the protection of her mother and had the best days of her life.

The mother disappeared, and with a stepmother and a stepfather, the original owner's life naturally fell into decline.

Turning further down, there are some brand new clothes and dresses that were worn around ten years old.

There were so many piles and piles of clothes. Her mother loved her so much that she prepared clothes for her at different ages when she was growing up. She couldn't help but shed tears again.

Li'er had already cried like a tearful person.

She handed the scarf to Xiao Yuehan, and they were both sad for a while.

Xiao Yuehan looked at the exquisite and valuable ornaments and said to Shopkeeper Jiang, "The ornaments that Su Chengshun took away cannot be recovered, can we use my mother's ornaments for the time being?

After all, the Mingyue Restaurant is positioned as a high-end restaurant. Look at these high-end private rooms on the second floor. They seem to have lost their souls without any decorations.”

Shopkeeper Jiang continued to wipe the fine products with a silk handkerchief.

He said reluctantly: "I have had this thought before, but I really can't bear to give away the lady's beloved things.

The young lady will come back one day. I hope that when I see her again, she can return the jade intact without losing anything. I am looking forward to that day."
