The cruel little princess

Liu Jianye slapped his thigh excitedly and said excitedly, "The county lady's idea is really brilliant! We were originally worried about the shop, but now that His Royal Highness Prince Jin has invested in the shop, not only can we solve the shop problem, but we can also use his name as a protective umbrella! This way, even if the business is good in the future, we don't have to worry about those ignorant people interfering! This is great! In this case, the county lady and the prince will each take 40% of the shares, and Liu will only take 20%! Everyone is happy!"

In reality, Liu Jianye had another plan in mind. He knew that His Royal Highness Prince Jin held a special status and was bound to achieve great things in the future. On this path to kingship, both money and manpower were essential. Ever since reaching a cooperation agreement with His Royal Highness Prince Jin at the border, Liu Jianye had been determined to follow him and become his financial backer. Now, he simply found the right opportunity to legitimately provide financial support to his master.

As for the sign, they unanimously decided to use "Zui Hong Yan," Shen You You's cosmetics brand! The name immediately reminded them of the high-quality, acclaimed creams and creams created by the same artist! They believed "Zui Hong Yan" would surely attract many customers and bring in substantial profits for the store.

The two of them made detailed plans for recruitment and training arrangements.

Liu Jianye said that he would find someone to send here as soon as possible for Shen Youyou to train and screen, and then discuss the shop renovation with His Royal Highness Prince Jin.

Shen Youyou only made two requests:

First, all of them should be made into private rooms with specially customized massage beds. The privacy must be good and well-made.

Second, the decor inside the private room must be elegant, grand, and fresh. It can't be too simple or plain, or people won't want to come back for a second visit. It must be eye-catching, the kind that makes people fall in love at first sight and fall in love again.

Upon hearing this, Liu Jianye expressed immense pressure! But at the same time, he also felt it was a very challenging task. The more challenging something is, the more he enjoys trying it! It's like starting to climb a mountain; only when you reach the top can you appreciate the most beautiful scenery!

After everything was settled, Liu Jianye was about to get up and say goodbye. "County Lady Ruian, since we have already agreed on everything, I will go back and start preparing. I can't wait to open this shop tomorrow!" He said excitedly.

Shen Youyou also stood up, trying to persuade the family to stay for lunch before leaving, but Liu Jianye politely declined. "Originally, the County Lady invited me, and I should have been respectful and obeyed. However, I secretly thought that I would have plenty of opportunities to invite you to dinner in the future. Right now, I just want to go home and implement everything we discussed this time. Please forgive me for my disrespect!"

Mrs. Liu also agreed with Liu Jianye, saying that she would definitely visit again next time and would definitely try the food at the Shen Mansion.

Having said that, Shen Youyou could only let them go back to their own home for dinner. She smiled and nodded, indicating that they were not polite and expressed her anticipation for their next visit.

Liu Jianye and his wife bowed gratefully to Shen Youyou and said goodbye, then hurried away. Shen Youyou sat back in her chair, watching them walk away, secretly plotting her next move.

The order for the herbal medicine shop has been placed, and the carpenter has been discussed. All that is left is to ask the carpenter to work hard to open the herbal medicine shop as soon as possible. During this period, she also needs to prepare all the medicinal materials that are often needed in large quantities. One pharmacy alone is not enough, and she has to go to several pharmacies in the afternoon. She was just busy talking to Liu Jianye about the beauty salon and forgot to tell him about the medicinal materials. Thinking of this, Shen Youyou wrote another letter, stating that she needed a large amount of medicinal materials recently, and asked him to help get them. She also entrusted An Er to deliver them to Liu Jianye.

After doing all this, Shen Youyou felt as if a pressure in her heart had dissipated, her shoulders relaxed, and she just wanted to take a good nap. She directly told Chuntao not to wake her for lunch. Chuntao saw that her young lady had been busy all the time and was now too tired to even eat lunch. She felt distressed, so she quietly went to the small kitchen and cooked it herself, carefully stewing a bowl of white fungus and lotus seed soup for her young lady, so that she could nourish her body when she woke up.

Time flies, and ten days have passed in the blink of an eye. The third day of the eleventh lunar month is the tenth day that Zeng Bo has been steaming with medicine. During this time, Zeng Bo witnessed with his own eyes that the young lady was so busy that she didn't even have time to enjoy lunch. Although he didn't know whether the shop run by the young lady would be profitable in the future, seeing the young lady's enthusiasm and positivity, Zeng Bo secretly made up his mind: if the shop business is not good in the future, he is willing to secretly use his wages to ask someone to buy it, just to make the young lady happy. Although he didn't want to cause trouble for the young lady anymore, he remembered the young lady's instructions at the beginning, and didn't want the young lady to continue to worry about her hands. Zeng Bo finally chose to tell her when the young lady was not too busy: "Miss, I have been fumigating and soaking with the medicine you prescribed for me before for ten days. Do I need to continue fumigating?"

Shen Youyou carefully observed Zeng Bo's hand. The originally tense veins had relaxed, which meant that the operation could be performed now.

"Uncle Zeng, are you free now? If there are important matters that need to be handled, you'd better hand them over first. I will reconnect your tendons in half an hour. You should rest more after the operation and avoid overexerting or using your hand strength. It will take at least ten days to half a month to recuperate, and then I will check again based on your recovery condition." Shen Youyou patiently explained to Uncle Zeng and reminded him of the precautions.

"Okay, miss, please wait a moment. I'll go find Lao Li first. We need him to pay more attention to our new house bestowed by the emperor. It is expected to be completed and ready for occupancy in more than a month. This matter is of vital importance and no mistakes are allowed." Uncle Zeng said seriously.

"No problem, Uncle Zeng, go take care of your business first. I still need to make some preparations. I'll meet you in the front yard in about half an hour." Shen Youyou estimated the time. She still needed to prepare the necessary items for the operating room, such as sterilization, preparing surgical tools and needles, boiling water, and candles. All of this needed to be prepared in advance. After giving her instructions to Uncle Zeng, Shen Youyou went to the front yard to find someone to clean up the operating room.

Zeng Bo went to discuss the renovation of the new courtyard with Lao Li, asking him to run around more in the next few days and keep a close eye on it to make sure nothing went wrong.

When Zeng Bo finished his work and came to the front yard, he saw Shen Youyou had already washed her hands and was waiting for him. "Miss, what should I do?" Zeng Bo didn't know what he needed to do next, so he asked Shen Youyou directly.

"Uncle Zeng, this is Ma Fei San. Drink it first, and then lie down on the operating table." Shen Youyou raised her hand and pointed to a bowl of medicine on the table, indicating that he should drink it first. Uncle Zeng did as she said, drank the Ma Fei San, and then lay down neatly on the table that had been padded and joined together by two high tables. Shen Youyou gestured to the uncles and aunts holding candles around to stand in the designated positions according to her instructions until no shadows could be seen. Before asking Chuntao to move in, Shen Youyou asked Liu Jianye to find a microscope magnifying glass specially made for glass workers. She slowly adjusted the angle herself, and then Shen Youyou dipped a cotton ball in strong liquor and wiped it on Uncle Zeng's arm, "Uncle Zeng, do you feel it here?"

Zeng Bo felt it carefully and said, "Miss, I don't feel anything."

Shen Youyou pricked Uncle Zeng's arm with a silver acupuncture needle. "Uncle Zeng, I pricked you with a silver needle. Do you feel it?"

Zeng Bo felt it carefully again and said, "Miss, I still don't feel anything."

Shen Youyou knew that the Ma Fei Powder had taken effect, so she instructed Zeng Bo, "You can close your eyes and rest for a while. I'll have them fix your hand. You can't move your hand while I'm operating. If you move your hand, not only will all the previous work be wasted, but it would also be bad if you injure somewhere else."

Uncle Zeng quickly replied, "Don't worry, young lady! If you tell me to go east, I won't go west. If you tell me to beat a dog, I won't chase a chicken! I, Old Zeng, promise to do whatever you tell me to do!"
