Becoming a widow for the sake of good fortune? The short-lived prince lived a hundred years

Qian Xing's face changed drastically.

He had long believed that a country girl with little knowledge must be stupid and easy to fool, but now it seems that this is not the case at all!

Why did she know his true purpose?

Ruining Princess An's reputation, making everyone think that Princess An abuses her power to bully others, is vicious and rude, has a cruel mind, does not treat the people as human beings, forces people into desperation, and has no mercy!

He had clearly done it before. Princess An had a bad reputation before, and now that this was happening, so many people were speaking up for him, and many people were already scolding her. He just needed to find a chance to leave and report to the Weiyuan Marquis's residence. That person would reward him with money and a job!

But why could she stun so many people with just a few words and a look?

Also, where is the person assigned by the Weiyuan Marquis's housekeeper? He was just defending him, but how come he disappeared as soon as he realized something was wrong?

"I don't know what the princess is talking about!"

"Of course you know," Yan Xining glanced at him calmly, "You've been treated as a chess piece, and then abandoned, and you still don't know it. How stupid!"

Qian Xing's face turned pale. Chess piece? Abandoned piece?

After all, he had been a master chef for so long, so he understood after a little thought.

He was the one who stepped forward, and no one from Weiyuan Marquis' Mansion showed up. Wouldn't he have to take all the blame then?

Thinking about it, he calmed down a little. Princess An had no evidence of the money she said she had embezzled, right? She probably didn't have any evidence, right?

He took a quick glance and saw that Princess An looked calm and confident.

He suddenly became uncertain and didn't dare to gamble!

He hurriedly shouted, "Princess, I was wrong. I will return the money I secretly stole! I, I was deceived!"

Yan Xining glanced around, shook his head and smiled: "Oh, it's too late to say this now, the government has already sent people!"

Sure enough, a runner in black clothes stepped out from the crowd and asked, "Who reported this to the authorities?"

The driver, who quietly went to report to the authorities, said, "This man embezzled a large sum of gold and silver while working for the shop owned by my princess. Today, when the princess was traveling, he deliberately blocked the road and took advantage of the ignorant onlookers! Now my princess wants to recover the gold and silver he embezzled!"

Those runners in black robes were shocked. There was actually a princess involved?

They saw the emblem of Prince An's carriage and hurried over to salute: "Greetings, Princess!"

"waived!"

The leading runner in black robes turned to the crowd and said, "You are quite courageous. Not only do you not show respect to the princess, but you also dare to speak disobediently. Do you all want to go to the government office?"

The onlookers knew they had been cheated as soon as Qian Xing shouted that he would return it. They only joined in the fight out of pity for Qian Xing and almost hit the princess with something.

Fortunately, I haven't done anything yet, otherwise, the consequences would be unimaginable.

The onlookers knelt on the ground.

Yan Xining glanced at those who knelt down guiltily. "It's good to have good intentions and do good deeds, but you also need to be more careful and not let others take advantage of your kindness! Disperse!"

Seeing that she had no intention of pursuing the matter, those people breathed a sigh of relief, and at the same time, they felt a surge of gratitude and shame in their hearts, and they hurried away one by one.

The yamen runners took Qian Xing away.

Yan Xining continued to tour Guanxiang Garden and Jinrui Hall.

New people, new atmosphere. After replacing them with the people I chose, the whole shop has a different spirit from top to bottom!

She is very satisfied!

This dowry shop could use some thought.

The new products launched by Huarongju will ensure booming business for at least one year.

Qian Xing, who was arrogant and cunning, was fired from Jinruitang, but the other four were still useful. She hired a master chef and drew the patterns herself, asking the master chefs to make them. The new styles are bound to cause a new wave of popularity.

The one with the worst business right now is Guanxiangyuan.

With strong competitors but no outstanding signature dim sum of its own, the business was neither hot nor cold and could only barely break even.

When she has free time, she will research some new pastries and also find a great pastry chef!

The palace's carriage passed through the streets and alleys. Yan Xining was thinking while looking at the scenery outside the carriage.

The streets of this capital city were a completely different dimension from those of my previous life. The style, architecture, and layout were all different. But they were just as prosperous and bustling, with bustling crowds of people and numerous shops. Some sections of the road even had rows of vendors setting up stalls, selling a wide variety of goods.

Among those walking around, you can occasionally see some scholars wearing scholar's clothes and square scarves on their heads.

Yan Xining calculated the days and suddenly realized, no wonder there were so many scholars. It seemed like the Spring Examination would be next month. Wouldn't it be even more lively if candidates from all over the country gathered in the capital to participate in the Spring Examination, which was held every three years?

A smile appeared on her lips. The location of Meishanlou was right outside Gongyuan Street!

After buying the restaurant from Chu Fanglin at a 70% discount, business in the area was extremely bad due to the haunting incident. The inn next door to the restaurant was the most affected. The owner had no customers for more than a year, and the occasional customer would be scared away, so he was eager to sell the property.

Yan Xining waved her hand and simply bought it together. She renovated it together with the restaurant. She had someone connect the middle part early on, and Meishanlou became a large hotel that integrated a restaurant and an inn.

Now the repairs are almost complete and it can be opened for business. Also, the name will be changed to Zhuangyuan Building!

After returning to the palace, she went straight back to Qingwuyuan and began to make plans for the opening of the restaurant.

Looking at the completed plan, it seems that we are still short of manpower.

Well, let’s borrow some from our partners.

She did what she said, put away the plan and went to Qiyunyuan.

Chu Jinxun was flipping through a book in his hand. When he saw her come in, he immediately smiled brightly: "Did you have fun outing today?"

"good!"

"Is something wrong?"

"Well, I need to borrow a few people from you!"

"Yes, you can call on anyone in the palace!"

Yan Xining walked over and took his pulse naturally. There was nothing abnormal in his pulse, so she massaged his shoulders and back.

Seeing that she didn't speak, Chu Jinxun turned his head and looked gentle: "Why? Don't you want to borrow someone?"

Yan Xining smiled and said, "Forget it, I thought about it and it's not appropriate. I'll handle it myself!" She can use the identity of Princess An to buy dowry.

But from the time she bought Zhuangyuanlou to the time it opened, she had no intention of using this identity.

Chu Jinxun's status was special, and many people were watching him. If she continued to openly conduct business as Princess An, even if they were partners, it would affect him. There were already enough people who were concerned about his life, so it was better not to cause him any more trouble.

Besides, if she wants to make a fortune quietly, it’s not appropriate for too many people to know her identity.

She should continue to use Mr. Ning's identity to recruit people to do things!

But it was strange. Usually, she always planned everything before she acted. Why did she come to Chu Jinxun today without even thinking it through? This made her rub her brows. Why was she so impulsive all of a sudden? This was not like her at all!

Chu Jinxun was anxious: "We agreed to trust each other, don't you trust me?"

"No!" Yan Xining laughed. "I'm thinking that we shouldn't get too deeply involved. If I rely on you for things that I can solve on my own, I'll develop a dependence mentality, or get used to this dependence. That would be a terrible thing!"

"Why is it so scary? You rely on me, isn't that what you should do?"
