Rebirth of a Concubine's Daughter

"How could this be?"

"Miss, what happened?"

Seeing Shen Nanyan's serious expression, Nanny Yuan couldn't help but become nervous.

"Madam Yuan, have Uncle Yi harness the carriage. Caifu, give me some simple clothes. Has Wei Ze arrived?"

"Wei Ze is already waiting outside the door."

Shen Nanyan quickly packed up and was about to go out. Caifu followed closely behind her, but was unexpectedly stopped by Shen Nanyan.

"How can you go out without me, young lady? What if..."

"It's in the yard. I have Wei Ze, so nothing will happen."

"But Wei Ze is a man after all. If there is anything inconvenient for you, my lady, I..."

Before Caifu could finish her words, Shen Nanyan had already left the yard. When Caifu chased out, she saw the backs of Shen Nanyan and Wei Ze walking farther and farther away. Looking at their hurried steps, she was afraid that something big had happened.

When the carriage arrived at Kelaixuan, the restaurant, which was usually bustling with people, was now closed. Uncle Yi went forward and knocked on the door, but it was Manager Qi who came to open the door himself.

"Boss, you're here. Come in quickly. Master Su and the eldest son are waiting for you inside."

After Shen Nanyan entered, there were not only Su Zhaoyu and Su Xinyuan in the room, but also a fat and big-eared man sitting there.

"Yan'er, why are you here? Didn't you read my letter?"

Su Xinyuan was the first to come forward.

"I came here just to see it, what's going on?"

Su Xinyuan looked back at the man and pulled Shen Nanyan aside.

"It's all my fault. I didn't hide the deeds from my own people when I stored them before. Today, Mr. Zhang came to my house, and I found out that Xinrong stole the deeds to several shops when he left. Now he's here to take over the shops."

"That's good news."

"You...what did you say? Our shop was sold by Xinrong. How can this be good news? Are you crazy?"

"Think about it, since Second Brother has sold the shop, it means he has money on him now, so we don't have to worry about him freezing or starving. And another important piece of news is that he's still alive. Isn't that a good thing?"

Su Xinyuan was really about to laugh out loud because of Shen Nanyue. How could her train of thought be so strange?

"But the shop is gone. We worked so hard to run it, and now it's gone. Aren't you angry and sad?"

"Big brother, we had nothing before, but now all this is what we earn. If there are gains and losses in business, just treat it as a loss. Second brother is much more important than these. Besides, how do you know that this shop will definitely be gone?"

"This……"

"Don't worry, let's go."

The two returned to the hall. At this moment, the shopkeeper and a group of waiters and cooks were standing by. They were very concerned about who would eventually take over the shop. After working in the shop for so long, they were very satisfied with the wages they had received so far. What's more, the owner was very nice and they could take rare things home during the holidays. But if the owner changed now, the result would be different.

As soon as Shen Nanyan walked in, the fat Mr. Zhang stood up and looked at Shen Nanyan with his eyes as big as soybeans. Su Xinyuan hurriedly stepped forward to block Shen Nanyan.

"I wonder who this young lady is..."

Shen Nanyan pulled Su Xin's arm and stepped forward.

"Mr. Zhang, right?"

"Exactly, exactly. I wonder which family the young lady is from. She is so pretty. Is she married?"

"May I ask how many of our shops Mr. Zhang owns?"

"So you are the young lady of the Su family. I have indeed acquired a few shops, but they are nothing. If Miss Su is willing to marry into my Zhang Mansion, these shops will be given to her as a betrothal gift."

"Shut up right there! How can you dream of having the daughter of my Su family?"

Su Zhaoyu suddenly became angry. He was already furious because of Su Xinrong's matter, and his face turned pale after hearing what Zhang Yuanwai said.

"Don't be angry, don't be angry. Everything can be negotiated. If your daughter doesn't marry me, I will marry someone else. Let's negotiate. In addition to your original shop, I will give you ten more and a hundred thousand taels of silver. How about it?"

"Get out, get out of here!"

"Dad, take care of yourself. Mr. Zhang, please leave. Even if we don't want the shop anymore, we won't let my sister enter your Zhang family's door."

"Young people really don't understand anything. Do you think anyone can enter the Zhang family's gates? I'm lucky to be in love with your sister. Besides, your sister hasn't expressed her feelings yet, and you and your son are getting anxious. Miss Su, what do you think?"

Mr. Zhang turned around and looked at Shen Nanyan with a lustful look in his eyes, but Shen Nanyan was not angry and turned around and sat down.

"Mr. Zhang should know that the most prosperous shops in Shangjing City right now are all owned by our Su family, right?"

"So what? I've taken over this shop, and I'll be the one making money from now on."

"Then you should also know that the Su family's shop is always different from other shops. Even if you take over the shop, you can't make the same taste. This money is not something you can earn just by wanting to."

"It's not that difficult. I want all of you cooks. It's just silver. I have plenty of it."

"Mr. Zhang can ask if they can still make the same dishes now that the restaurant has changed owners."

Mr. Zhang turned to look at the group of cooks and waiters, and they all shook their heads and waved their hands.

All the ingredients in the shop, except for the green leafy vegetables that existed in this world, were provided by Wu You. These chefs hardly knew what they were and just fried them according to a record, so without these things, they couldn't make anything.

"You're chefs, why...how come you can't make the dishes you cook every day?"

No one could answer his doubts, but he still didn't believe it and even thought Shen Nanyue was deceiving him.

"No problem, at worst I can just change the cook. I have money, and there's nothing I can't do."

"Mr. Zhang, since you also paid for the shop, I can buy it back for three times the price, and you won't suffer any loss. What do you think?"

"Of course, but I want to add one more thing: you must come to my house and become my concubine."

Shen Nanyan stood up and walked towards Su Zhaoyu.

"It doesn't matter if we don't want this shop. Since Mr. Zhang likes it, we have to bear the pain and let it go. Let's go."

What's important is not the shop, but whether it can retain people. Since Mr. Zhang is unwilling, Shen Nanyue will not force him. At worst, she can buy another shop and treat it as opening a new store. Anyway, she is not short of money.

"When the time comes, don't be jealous of my wealth and cry and beg me to sell the shop to you."

Shen Nanyan didn't even raise her eyelids. When she walked to the door, Shopkeeper Qi followed her out.

"Boss, then we..."

"Shopkeeper Qi, take your men to Baiweizhai and let Shopkeeper Tang make arrangements for you. Don't worry about wages or anything like that. It will be the same as before.

"Thank you, Master. Thank you very much, Master."

"If anyone wants to stay, I'll give them triple the wages, triple!"

No matter how Mr. Zhang shouted, no one turned back. They all followed Manager Qi out of the door, and the huge store became empty in an instant.
