They buy these products from almost every restaurant that has opened. They first put them in other shops to familiarize people with the process, and then send them to the new shop to start working directly, emphasizing a seamless transition.

When people get busy, they don't even remember the time.

Du Mingxian also received letters from Ling Silang, mostly about An'an, and his letters expressing his longing for her. She forgot that he was going to participate in the autumn imperial examination this year.

While she was still thinking about how she had forgotten something very important... she received the news that Ling Silang had passed the imperial examination.

She didn't want to keep the shop open anymore, so she packed her things and prepared to leave.

Little Zhou ran over to tell Du Mingxian about the new shop, only to find that Du Mingxian had already packed her bags. "You're all packed? Let's leave the day after tomorrow, tomorrow..."

"Second sister-in-law," Du Mingxian interrupted her, "Second sister-in-law, Silang has passed the imperial examination. We've been so busy these days that I completely forgot about it. I must go back right now."

"Ah? Si Lang passed the imperial examination?" Little Zhou was taken aback at first, then jumped up happily. "That's wonderful! That's great! Let's go home then."

"Second sister-in-law, what will happen to the new shop if you leave? You and your second brother should open this shop first, and then come back. I'm going back now."

Little Zhou grabbed Du Mingxian, who was about to leave, and said, "No, we can't do without you. We can't do without you."

Du Mingxian stared at her intently, "Second sister-in-law, you can definitely do it. We've opened so many branches, and this is the only one left. You can definitely do it."

"I can't do it, I can't do it."

"Second sister-in-law, you still have your second brother, don't worry. If all else fails... I'll leave Chunfeng to you. If you don't understand anything or can't make up your mind, just ask her."

Xiao Zhou felt that as soon as Du Mingxian left, she would be completely at a loss. "I'll go back with you. You can let Chunfeng stay here and keep an eye on the shop."

"No, that won't do. You're the head chef, and the kitchen needs your help. Don't say things like that, my dear sister-in-law. I'm just accompanying you around these shops; you're the one who takes care of so many things."

"No, no, I feel at ease as long as you're here, and I don't feel at ease when you're not."

Du Mingxian was also very troubled by Xiao Zhou's childlike state. "Second sister-in-law, I'll go back and make some preparations first. You hurry up and get the shop in the back open, then go home. We'll go to the capital together and pull off a big heist."

"The capital? Are we all going to the capital?"

"Yes, whoever in the family wants to go to the capital can go, and everyone can go together."

"Alright then, let's go to the capital."

"Second sister-in-law, after we go to the capital, I will have many things to do. I can accompany you, but I may not be there for you when you encounter problems. So you must learn to stand on your own first, starting with this shop."

"Okay, don't worry, I can do it. I definitely want to go to the capital with you."

"Okay, it's settled then. I'm going home now."

Du Mingxian left as soon as she finished speaking. When Xiao Zhoushi realized what had happened, she hurriedly chased after her, but Du Mingxian was nowhere to be seen. She was extremely upset and kept muttering to herself.

"Mingxian, I can't live without you, I can't do it."

Du Mingxian hurried back home, and finally arrived six days later. Ling Silang had just passed the imperial examination, and she missed the banquet hosted by the Ling family.

She and her men entered the village at night. Just as they got close, Qiu Shu appeared and hurriedly stepped aside when she saw Du Mingxian.

Du Mingxian quietly pushed open the door and entered the room, and Ling Silang's aggrieved voice came from inside, "You still know that you have a husband and children."

"Husband." Du Mingxian was really too busy. Although there were many things that didn't require her to manage, she was the one who decided on the location of each branch restaurant, and sometimes she even had to rush over to check on them.

Every place she visited was a different experience, and it's no wonder she enjoyed it.

Ling Silang had already walked to her side, feeling incredibly wronged. "I'm finally back."

"I am back."

"Enter the space."

After entering the space, Du Mingxian wanted to explain why she came back. She had prepared various explanations along the way, but... the situation was not quite what she expected.

Ling Silang gave her no chance at all, and pounced on her. They tormented her all night long. She was already exhausted from traveling day and night, and then she was tormented again on her way back. In the end, she just fell asleep from exhaustion.

Only then did he let himself go.

When Du Mingxian woke up, it was already four o'clock in the afternoon. Ling Silang was sitting next to her, just watching her.

"This...it's this late, and we're still in the spatial realm, this...this..."

How am I going to face my family after I leave? How am I going to explain this to them?

Ling Silang knew what she was anxious about, so he quickly came out to comfort her, "Don't worry, Qiu Shu knows you came back last night, he will arrange everything. Besides, you just got back, it's okay if we get up a little late."

Du Mingxian angrily punched him twice in the chest, "What kind of talk is this? Listen to what you're saying!"

"Speak like a human being." Ling Silang grabbed her hand that was pounding her chest, kissed it, and said, "I won't hold it against you for forgetting about my participation in the autumn examination."

"This is the second time already. I knew you would definitely win, so I didn't take it to heart at all."

It's a bit of a shame that I wasn't by your side when you first passed the imperial examination, and I'm not here again this time.

"That's a terrible excuse."

Du Mingxian rolled her eyes at him and reached for her clothes. Ling Silang quickly and obsequiously handed her the clothes, intending to help her put them on.

Du Mingxian pushed him away directly, "Alright, you can go out now. By the way, where's An'an?"

"Ever since I passed the imperial examination, this child has stopped sleeping with me and started sleeping with his mother."

Du Mingxian understood. Ling Silang must have been waiting for her to return after passing the imperial examination, so he had made arrangements for the children. No wonder he noticed her as soon as she entered the room last night.

How could someone without martial arts skills have such keen perception, turning out the person hadn't slept at all?

"Then you should go out first." Du Mingxian sent the person out of the space, then got up, and without putting on any clothes, quickly went in to take a shower to relieve the fatigue and soreness all over her body.

After tidying up and coming out of the space, the room was already filled with the aroma of food, and Ling Silang was standing guard at the table.

"Come and eat."

Du Mingxian saw that the table was full of her favorite dishes, so she went over and sat down. Without saying a word, she started eating. She was so hungry.

Only after they had finished eating did Ling Silang ask her, "Are you still leaving?"

"Let's go."

Ling Silang felt incredibly wronged. "You really forgot that you already have a husband and a child. My child and I both need you."

Du Mingxian turned around and looked at him strangely, "You...you're not planning to go to the capital to participate in the imperial examination?"

"what?"

"I'm coming back to pack my things. We'll go to the capital together so you can prepare for the imperial examinations. You're not planning on going, are you?"

"Go! Go! Go."
