The widow becomes a fairy, and the time-traveling girl counterattacks and becomes the queen

After leaving the county government office, Wang Xinyao went to the largest bank in Nanhu County. She exchanged all her silver notes for silver. After all, the denominations of silver notes were too large and inconvenient to use. Furthermore, she was from the 21st century and seemed to prefer things like gold and silver.

After leaving the bank, Wang Xinyao reached a deserted spot and quietly summoned her mind to store all the silver from the carriage into her ring. Within the ring, the silver piled up into a small mountain, a full 15,580 taels. This was the culmination of months of hard work.

Thinking back to when she first arrived in this ancient world, she was penniless and so desperate she couldn't even take out a single copper coin. Now, looking at the silver, a strong sense of security came over her. It felt so good to have money around. Unfortunately, this money was still far from enough...

Following the address Zhao Yue'er had given her, Wang Xinyao successfully found the rouge shop she had gifted her. It was called Furong Pavilion. The shop was spacious and beautifully decorated, completely different from what Fang Juren had casually said about a man who couldn't manage a woman's business. Wang Xinyao accepted the couple's kindness.

It was almost lunchtime, and there were no customers in the shop. Seeing Wang Xinyao come in, the shopkeeper immediately came forward to greet her.

The person approaching slowly appeared to be around 30 years old, with a beautiful face, delicate features, and a graceful beauty. Zhao Yue'er revealed that this woman's name was Wen Xiuxiu, and she had a tragic fate. Some years ago, her husband tragically died on the battlefield, leaving her to depend on her two young sons. In such a time, survival was difficult without a strong male supporter in the family. While wandering around with her two sons, she was fortunately rescued by Zhao Yue'er and her husband, who offered her life as a slave to ensure the safety of her two sons.

When Zhao Yue'er planned to take them back to the capital, she was pregnant. This place was far away from the capital, and the long journey would affect the fetus. Therefore, Zhao Yue'er and her husband decided to stay in their ancestral home in Ping'an Town for the time being, and wait until the child was born and the situation stabilized before returning to the capital.

So, Zhao Yue'er settled Wen Xiuxiu in the rouge shop in Nanhu County and let her take charge of the business. Seeing that Wen Xiuxiu had gotten used to the life there and thinking that Wang Xinyao was also a kind person, she even gave her indenture contract to Wang Xinyao!

"Sir, I wonder if you need to buy anything when visiting our shop?" A crisp and pleasant greeting was heard, and Wen Xiuxiu came forward to greet him warmly.

"Are you the shopkeeper Wen Xiuxiu? I am Wang Xinyao from Xiejia Village!" Wang Xinyao smiled brightly. After that, she took out a house deed and five indentures from her arms and handed them to Wen Xiuxiu for her to look at.

"Hello, Master! We've been waiting for you to finally arrive!" Wen Xiuxiu smiled broadly upon hearing this and bowed deeply to Wang Xinyao. After the ceremony, she quickly turned around and shouted to the fourth girl who was sweeping the floor not far away, "Xiaoqing, Xiaolan, and you two, come here quickly! Our Master is here!"

The four girls heard the shouts and hurriedly dropped their rags and trotted over to Wang Xinyao. Each of them lowered their heads, their expressions nervous and reserved. They first bowed respectfully to Wang Xinyao, saying, "Greetings, Master!" Then they stood quietly by, not daring to breathe.

After all, the new boss has arrived, and the most important thing is that the indentures of themselves and others are now in the hands of this new boss. Thinking of this, the girls couldn't help feeling a little uneasy.

Wang Xinyao glanced at the four graceful young ladies before her, thinking to herself, "Look at their names! They're much nicer than our own Dahua, Erhua, and Xiaohua. And look at their looks! Each one is so pretty and charming. It seems Zhao Yue'er really has a firm grasp on the reputation of this rouge shop, and she's not ambiguous at all!"

"Don't be nervous, I just stopped by to take a look." Wang Xinyao said as she deftly pulled out five small bags from the large bag. Each bag was filled with fragrant chestnuts.

"This is my gift to you. Please try it." Wang Xinyao handed the bag in her hand to the little girls in front of her one by one.

"Chestnut?" Xiaolan widened his eyes in disbelief, and Xiaoqing and the others also looked shocked.

You know, chestnuts are a priceless commodity in this place! Children from poor families like them wouldn't even dare to think about it. For a moment, several people looked at each other, not knowing what to do.

After a while, Xiaoqing finally came to her senses first and quickly bowed to Wang Xinyao again, saying, "Thank you, Master!"

Seeing this, the others followed suit and said in unison: "Thank you, boss!"

Wen Xiuxiu stood in the crowd, her eyes slightly red. Her heart was filled with emotion and joy, for she knew her young son's mouth would water with envy whenever he saw other children eating chestnuts, but he was sensible enough to resist that craving. Now, with these chestnuts, she could finally fulfill his wish.

At this moment, everyone's eyes were filled with deep gratitude. Wang Xinyao, watching this scene, was also filled with emotion. She had never imagined that just a few small bags of chestnuts could so easily win the hearts of these kind and simple girls!

Perhaps, for these people who live a hard life, a little care and warmth is more precious than any gold, silver or treasure.

"No need to thank me. I'll bring you some more when I have the chance." Wang Xinyao added, "Xiao Lan, Xiao Qing, you guys go ahead and get busy. Finish your business as soon as possible and go back to rest early! Shopkeeper Wen, please give me a brief introduction to the rouge shop!"

Wen Xiuxiu nodded slightly and began to introduce the Rouge Shop's current products to Wang Xinyao. She then said, "Our Rouge Shop has always had a good reputation. Although we have many customers every day, our profits are not high. The main reason is that the shop lacks some novel items, especially those with ingenious designs and unique formulas. It is difficult to attract more customers. Because of this, it is very difficult for the Rouge Shop to move to the next level!"

Wang Xinyao nodded slightly as she listened, and said thoughtfully, "I understand. What you're saying is, we don't have our own unique high-end products. If we can launch some unique new products of high quality, it will surely attract more customers and also improve the quality of our store, right?"

"That's right, Boss, that's what I meant!" Wen Xiuxiu nodded respectfully. She didn't expect that she had only said a few words casually, but such a young boss could immediately grasp the key to the problem.

Wang Xinyao calmly glanced around the shop, her gaze finally resting on the shelves displaying raw materials. A plan already dawned on her mind: "Shopkeeper Wen, I have an idea. Why not try using some unique ingredients to make rouge, like flower petals, precious herbs, and so on? This way, we can give the rouge different effects and an intoxicating fragrance."

Wang Xinyao continued, "We can carefully design the packaging so that customers can experience the beauty and ritual of using the rouge. I'll take care of the packaging. Furthermore, we can also research and develop basic skincare products. I can handle the product development. You only need to collect the flowers and ingredients needed for beauty treatments."

Wen Xiuxiu's eyes lit up. "The boss's idea is brilliant! Basic care can better highlight a person's natural beauty. If the quality of the product can be improved, our Furong Pavilion will definitely be able to reach a higher level."

Wen Xiuxiu's knowledge is really extraordinary. No wonder Zhao Yue'er was willing to take the three of them back to the capital when she saved her. It seems that Zhao Yue'er really gave her a treasure.

At this time, Wen Xiuxiu had already taken out the account book and a bag of silver from the counter and handed them to Wang Xinyao, saying, "Boss, Madam Fang said that this shop has been yours since last month, but you have never taken it over. Here are the account books and last month's profits!"

Wang Xinyao took the account book and the silver bag. In just one month, the total profit was two hundred and twenty taels. While this wasn't a huge amount, it was still a considerable income. It felt really good to just sit back and wait for the money to come in. It seemed like she needed to put more effort into running this shop.

As the sky grew darker, Wang Xinyao said goodbye to Wen Xiuxiu and the other four people, then drove her carriage and galloped towards home.

When the carriage sped along near a pavilion, Wang Xinyao saw five men in black walking back and forth in the pavilion. With her eyesight now, even in the pitch-black night, she could see very far like an eagle!

Wang Xinyao recognized the five men in black at a glance. They were the same villains who were galloping on the street more than a month ago and caused Zhao Yue'er to give birth prematurely.

So, she slowed the carriage, retrieved her phone from the space, and began recording the men in black. She needed evidence for everything; this was a habit she'd developed as a 21st-century police officer; she wouldn't let go of even the slightest clue.

At this time, the men in black also noticed Wang Xinyao driving the carriage slowly approaching!

Looking at the several men in black gradually approaching her, Wang Xinyao did not panic. She calmly recorded the video with her mobile phone while calmly using stillness to control movement.
