Chu Beiyu felt mixed emotions when he was praised. The emperor had already issued an order on Ximen Ao's matter, and he was just a marquis, so what could he do?

Ye Qingluo's temperament is uncontrollable, otherwise I could think of other ways.

But when Chu Beiyu saw his mother's melancholy look, he couldn't bear it.

That's the only way to do it...

Time passed quickly and it was the third day. Ye Qingluo brought Cuizhu to Wangyue Restaurant.

As soon as they got off the carriage, they saw Caiyue waiting there.

"Meet my lady."

Caiyue stepped forward quickly and saluted Ye Qingluo.

"How's the account book going?"

"If the restaurant is short of staff, you can always tell me."

"Enough, enough!"

Caiyue quickly replied, "As for the account book, I have already sorted it out and am waiting for your review, Madam."

Seeing Caiyue so confident, Ye Qingluo showed more appreciation on his face.

But when I entered the restaurant, I found it was deserted and there were very few customers eating there.

She had not seen this before. The waiters were dozing off on the table. Someone shouted, "The lady is here!"

Everyone present stood up and looked at Ye Qingluo with nervous eyes.

Ye Qingluo watched this scene and did not say anything. Instead, he followed Caiyue inside to check the account book.

"How come this restaurant can't even afford a hundred taels?"

When seeing the last number, Ye Qingluo was shocked. It shouldn't be like this.

Cuizhu, who was following beside him, was also puzzled. "Yes, I heard that the restaurant had been doing well. How come there is only one hundred taels left?"

One hundred taels might be a rare amount for an ordinary citizen, but it is far from enough to maintain the normal operation of a restaurant.

"I have asked the people in the restaurant about this matter. They said that Ximen Ao has been living on the money he stole from the people for years, and if anyone disobeys, they will send someone to beat them up."

"And the reason why the restaurant can survive is because of this method, and..." Caiyue became more and more angry as she spoke, "Ximen Ao also opened a casino in the restaurant to get to know some officials. It can be said that he has done all kinds of evil!"

"The Emperor sentenced him to immediate execution. He deserves death!"

Caiyue said angrily that if she could, she would like to kill this bastard with her own hands!

Ye Qingluo's heart sank. Putting aside the issue of Ximen Ao, the chances of reopening this restaurant were not optimistic.

One hundred taels is probably not enough to pay the monthly wages of those guys.

"Madam, how should we deal with this matter now?" Caiyue looked at Ye Qingluo and asked for her opinion.

"I heard from the waiter at the restaurant yesterday that this place might be closed soon..."

“Why is it closed?”

Ye Qingluo asked, although there were many problems ahead of her, retreating without fighting has never been her style.

"We can't keep the people in these restaurants. Give out the remaining 100 taels and recruit a new group of people. As for this restaurant, I hope it won't be good..." Ye Qingluo thought for a while and asked Caiyue, "If I hand this place over to you to manage, do you have the confidence that you can do it?"

Caiyue was shocked and forgot how to react.

"Madam, you mean to let me become... this..." Caiyue lowered her head, "I'm afraid I can't manage it well."

"Miss Caiyue, since the Madam said so, she must trust you." Cuizhu agreed. Having been with the Madam for so long, she naturally understood her master's temperament.

Madam has her own considerations for every decision she makes.

"Caiyue, I don't want to say the same thing again. If you want to stay, whether it's the restaurant now or in the future, it will be full of difficulties."

"If you want to leave, you can decide now. I don't like to force things."

Ye Qingluo directly put two choices in front of Caiyue.

"I...I do!"

"Madam, Caiyue, as long as you don't despise me, I am willing to be your slave and follow you and do things for you in the future."

"You are who you are, there is no need to change anything."

"I don't lack these." Ye Qingluo replied, "Think about what happened just now carefully, and tell me when you have made up your mind."

"I am willing!"

After Ye Qingluo's words, Caiyue seemed to have gained great confidence.

"Okay, from today on you are the new owner of this Wangyue Restaurant."

"You just need to manage the restaurant well. If there is any difficult problem, send someone to tell me."

"As long as it is right and reasonable, I will never let you suffer any injustice."

Caiyue was already moved to tears after hearing these words, and changed "Wangyue" to "Wangyue"...

How lucky she must be to meet a master like the lady!

Caiyue then used the remaining silver to dismiss the remaining people according to Ye Qingluo's instructions.

These guys had previously been forced to take the silver and leave under the pressure of Ximen Ao and a few days ago.

The waiter looked at the silver in front of him but was hesitant to make a decision.

"Miss Caiyue, can you talk to the Madam and ask her to let me stay?"

"I'm used to this kind of life, and I've stayed in the restaurant the longest. If I leave, I'm afraid..."

Caiyue listened to what this man said and suddenly thought of herself. If she didn't have a wife, her fate would be even more tragic.

"Wait a minute, I'll go ask the lady."

Caiyue agreed, but saw Ye Qingluo coming out with Cuizhu.

"Madam, can this person..."

"What's your name?" Ye Qingluo asked.

The man quickly ran forward and said, "Madam, my name is Adong."

"If you want to stay, just stay here. Caiyue, you can handle these small matters by yourself in the future."

Ye Qingluo said that since she chose to delegate power, she still had the most basic trust.

"Yes!"

"Caiyue, the first problem you are facing right now is how to get the silver?"

The one hundred taels have already been paid out, and the restaurant must think of other ways to maintain its operations.

Since Caiyue has taken on the responsibility of being the shopkeeper, even if she comes forward to resolve today's issue, there will still be other problems.

Besides, she can't always appear first.

While enjoying rights, we must also shoulder responsibilities.

"Ma'am, I'll think about it."

"Well, the restaurant will be closed for the time being. Tell me when you have made up your mind."

Ye Qingluo didn't want to rush things, so he should give the other party some time to adapt.

On the way back, Cuizhu seemed to be hesitant to speak.

"lady……"

"Just say what you want to say. Why are you hesitating like Caiyue?"

"Madam, you previously gave Huichuntang to Li Er, and now the restaurant has been given to Miss Caiyue. If the previous incident happens again..."

Cuizhu felt that this was inappropriate and said quickly,

"Of course Li Er and Miss Caiyue are both very good people, but if time goes on, people's hearts are unpredictable. If they develop other thoughts, wouldn't it be difficult to take it back?"
