Shangguan Yueyin looked at them, choking with gratitude and said, "Thank you so much today. I don't know what I would have done without your help."

"Sister Shangguan, why are you being so polite to us? What are your plans for the future?"

Shangguan Yueyin paused for a moment, then spoke without hesitation: "This place is quiet and suitable for my mother to recuperate. When my mother is better, I plan to do some small business."

"I want to live on my own for once. Although it may be tiring, I feel very happy and relaxed at the moment."

Shen Leyan saw that she didn't seem confused or discouraged at all. Instead, she seemed more energetic than before. She felt relieved and was sincerely happy for her.

"No matter what decision Sister Shangguan makes, I will support you."

"Sister, have you decided what kind of business you want to do?" Shen Leyan asked curiously.

Shangguan Yueyin smiled and said confidently, "When I was still a girl, I was quite interested in embroidery and I was quite proficient in it."

"The banknotes I have saved are more than enough to cover my expenses for the next few months. I'll then go and buy a small shop."

"Selling small items like handkerchiefs and sachets."

"Sister's cooking skills must be very good!" Shen Leyan exclaimed.

"However, the shop rents are quite high, and with the addition of small items like handkerchiefs and sachets, there are many small vendors selling them at the market, so the competition is quite fierce."

"What Le Yan said makes some sense." Shen Lebai listened from the side and gave some opinions at the right time.

"Not only that, the profit margin on these small items is also relatively low. After deducting the rent and costs of the store, the profit may be negligible."

Shangguan Yueyin thought about it and realized that it was true: "But apart from this, I don't seem to have anything else to show for it."

"Sister Shangguan is already very good, but I know nothing about embroidery. When my mother taught me, I felt as if I was not embroidering the cloth, but embroidering myself with the needle."

Shangguan Yueyin laughed repeatedly at her exaggerated tone: "How can it be so exaggerated."

"That's true. This girl is very serious about learning music, chess, calligraphy and painting, but she knows nothing about embroidery."

Shen Leyan's face turned awkward: "I feel like I get dizzy just looking at that thin needle, so I tend to miss the target easily."

"It's okay. You don't necessarily have to learn this. Everyone has their own areas of expertise, and of course there are also things they are not good at."

"You might not be suited to this kind of needlework. I'll embroider a sachet just for you someday."

Shen Leyan was comforted instantly, her eyes sparkling: "Really? Sister Shangguan, you are so kind."

After saying that, he looked at Shen Lebai with a smug look on his face, his eyes full of provocation, as if saying, let you laugh at me just now.

Shen Lebai was so angry at her that he almost got hurt, but he couldn't do anything about it.

Shen Leyan tugged at Shangguan Yueyin's sleeve, motioning her to look at her brother's appearance as a wronged young wife.

The two of them burst into laughter, and Shangguan Yueyin couldn't help but say, "If Master Shen doesn't mind, I'll embroider a sachet for you too."

"Today, I am grateful for Mr. Shen's help. Yueyin has no way to repay you, so please consider it as a small token of my appreciation. I hope you will accept it."

Shen Lebai quickly said: "How could I dislike it!"

"Miss Shangguan, you are too polite. I can't really help you in any way." He scratched his head embarrassedly.

Shangguan Yueyin smiled and said, "If it weren't for you, I'm afraid we would have to stay in the inn today."

"Then it's settled. I'll start embroidering when I'm free. When I'm done, I'll give it to Sister Le Yan and have her pass it on to you."

Unexpectedly, the two refused in unison: "No!"

Shangguan Yueyin looked at the two of them with some confusion.

Shen Lebai glanced at Shen Leyan, and finally explained helplessly: "I mean, Miss Shangguan, don't worry. You are still busy taking care of your aunt's illness. It is important to take care of your own health first. There is no need to worry about the sachet."

After he finished explaining, Shen Leyan said, "Sister Shangguan, I don't want to hand it over. What if he accuses me of embezzling it?"

"When did I..." Shen Lebai received her signal and immediately stopped talking: "How can that be considered slander..."

"You are slandering me, but you should give it to Sister Shangguan yourself."

"My brother comes over often anyway, so you can just give it to him when the time comes."

Shangguan Yueyin knew that the brother and sister usually liked to bicker and joke around, so she didn't find it strange: "Okay."

"But isn't Mr. Shen busy on weekdays?"

Shen Lebai replied nervously: "Not very busy..."

"I don't have any other problems here, so there's no need to bother you running around. You should just take care of your own things first."

"The Emperor has assigned many tasks to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince recently, so we are relatively free and have nothing to do."

Shangguan Yueyin nodded when she heard this: "I'm glad it didn't interfere with your official duties."

"How could that be? It's my honor to help you."

For Shen Lebai, this was finally an opportunity for him to help, something he had been longing for and was extremely happy to do.

His greatest wish is that she can live a happy and happy life, no matter whether she is with him in the end or not.

Shen Leyan also agreed with this point. Regardless of whether Sister Shangguan and Brother can succeed, she hopes that Sister Shangguan will be safe, happy and happy.

"By the way, Sister Shangguan, I've come up with a good idea for opening a store."

"Oh? Come on, tell me."

"I usually like to research beauty products. I thought we could open a women's product store together."

"I'll sell Sister Shangguan's embroidery and other handmade items on the first floor, and my beauty products on the second floor. How about that?"

After hearing this, several people nodded in unison: "That's very good."

Seeing that they thought it was feasible, Shen Leyan continued, "Generally, those who like beauty and skin care products are the daughters of some aristocratic families, or the ladies of wealthy families. This way, we can also raise the price of handmade embroidery."

"In their eyes, the more expensive and valuable something is, the more they want to buy it, and they use it to show off their status and position."

Shen Lebai nodded in agreement: "That's right, the nobles' business is much easier to do."

"So as long as you decorate your store beautifully enough and make your name and sign loud, you won't have to worry about lack of customers."

Shangguan Yueyin smiled and said, "Sister Le Yan is the living signboard of our shop."

"I can also think of ways to add some unique designs to attract more people's attention."

Shen Leyan nodded repeatedly: "Yes, that's the truth. Scarcity makes things valuable. Strengthening unique designs and styles can arouse people's desire to buy."
