She nodded almost imperceptibly, her eyes, neither large nor small, held an unreadable sorrow. She opened her mouth as if to speak but hesitated. Qin Yuechan asked curiously, "If you have something to say, just say it. We've been together for so long, what is there to hide?"

Upon hearing this, Qing'er seemed to have made a decision before speaking, "I think it's not good for Master to be like this."

Qin Yuechan frowned, puzzled, and asked, "What's wrong? Explain yourself."

"Qing'er said you can't be angry." She observed her master's expression uncertainly.

Having received her mistress's assurance, she lowered her head and said, "The Emperor treats you so well, yet you have affairs with so many men behind his back. Qing'er feels that your treatment of the Emperor is unfair and also somewhat disregards... etiquette and morality."

The Emperor, of course, refers to Qin Muhan. Actually, these words were somewhat disrespectful. If an ordinary woman heard them, she would have been furious and had the girl beaten to death. However, the two had spent so much time together and had unknowingly become close friends who could talk about anything. Therefore, Qing'er's words were only for her own good.

Seeing that she had knelt down abruptly after speaking, Qin Yuechan sighed deeply, reached out and helped her up. Her delicate face showed no blame, but her eyes were full of calm.

"You know about my affair with the Regent and the Emperor at the Xuanwu Kingdom's villa." His calm tone carried patience. During the days and nights the three of them spent together, only Qing'er served them. He had assumed that Qing'er had accepted this shocking affair back then, but he never expected that she would finally reveal it here.

Looking at Qing'er's face, which was once numb and indifferent but now indistinguishable from that of a normal woman, he continued, "Actually, Qin Muhan was the last one to appear. Before that, my six senior brothers and I had always been like this. Do you understand?" He didn't say it so clearly, but he believed she would understand.

This shocking thing is completely contrary to the morals of the time, and it is an absolute extreme. Polygamy is perfectly normal, and a man having only one wife is only seen in poor peasant families. But polyandry completely breaks the balance of the world. This woman is simply extremely lewd!

However, none of this mattered to Qin Yuechan. When the seven people first got together, she may have felt disgusted by the moral principles she had been taught since childhood. But after experiencing their sincerity, she felt indifferent and even a little happy and ashamed.

She was ashamed to admit that she was just an ordinary woman, yet she had six of the most outstanding and powerful men in the world by her side. If anyone felt wronged, weren't those six men, with their dragon-like bearing and phoenix-like elegance, even more wronged? They could have any woman they wanted; with just a snap of their fingers, hordes of women would rush to their beds. But they didn't have any of those women.

Even the most domineering and arrogant Zhong Zhichen, who had a courtyard full of beautiful women but didn't even glance at them, how could she not be moved by such a deep love from the bottom of her heart?

After a long while, Qing'er didn't ask any further questions, but she saw an absolute determination in her master's eyes, a determination that no one, no matter how strong the social norms, could separate them.

The next morning, Qin Yuechan dressed up early, carrying silver notes, and went out with her fourth senior brother who was waiting in front of the door. When they were almost at the gate of the Prince's Mansion, they ran into Zhong Zhichen who was coming towards them.

From her thoughtful encouragement to play cards last night, it was clear she was no longer angry about that matter. As if ignoring Situ Ze standing to the side, Zhong Zhichen greeted her in a good mood, his long, narrow eyes filled with a tenderness unlike anything he'd ever shown before. "Where are you going? Do you want me to come with you?"

Qin Yuechan shook her head with a smile, "Your Highness is busy with many affairs of state, so it's best not to trouble you with such trivial matters." With that, she took Situ Ze's hand and ran out the door, leaving behind his straight back under the majestic gates of the Regent's Palace.

The two laughed and joked, and soon arrived at Zuixianlou. Since Huo Zhengqi had agreed to transfer the business, he closed the door and stopped doing business. The two entered through the back door and saw the Huo family father and daughter who had been waiting for a long time.

Huo Zhengqi, his face full of wrinkles but with a respectful smile, instructed his daughter to pour tea for the two of them.

Huo Xiang responded gently, lightly pulling at her wide sleeves to reveal her right arm, delicate as a white lotus root. Her fair hand, with veins almost visible, picked up the purple clay teapot and poured tea with a smile. The tassels hanging from the hairpin in her hair swayed slightly, making her pretty face look like jade.

After pouring two cups of tea, she looked up and met a probing gaze. She blinked her unusually bright eyes and asked, "Why is Miss Qin looking at Xiang'er like that?"

Her smile deepened, and she parted her lips slightly to say, "Miss Huo is truly a beauty. Whoever marries her in the future will surely be blessed."

Huo Xiang was taken aback by what she heard, but then quickly smiled. Her gaze, however, was shyly fixed on Situ Ze's handsome face, and everyone present probably understood the feelings behind it.

Huo Zhengqi coughed lightly, his brows furrowed as he looked at his daughter with a warning in his eyes.

However, the youngest daughter, who had been aroused by lust, was bound to lose control when she met the man she loved most. Seeing her father glaring at her, her little face filled with tears of grievance. "Father, why do you glare at me like that? I only glanced at Young Master Situ. It's not like I'll lose a piece of my flesh. Besides, men can have three wives and four concubines..." Before she finished speaking, her meaning was quite clear.

Qin Yuechan's smile never changed, and even seemed to be getting bigger, but her hand under the table was twisting the man's thigh hard. How many innocent girls would those flirtatious eyes ruin?

"You unfilial daughter! What nonsense are you spouting!" Huo Zhengqi felt utterly humiliated. His daughter was no unreasonable girl, but how could she say such things in front of her savior! Especially since she was a young, unmarried woman!

Seeing him scolding his daughter with a fierce expression, Qin Yuechan smiled generously and said, "Mr. Huo, there's no need to be angry. It's perfectly normal for a daughter to have some thoughts as she grows up."

When Huo Xiang heard her say this, she assumed that she had heard what she had just said and that she had generously agreed to become the concubine of Young Master Situ. Her bright eyes lit up with joy, and she stood up to bow in gratitude to the "mistress" for taking her in.

If Qin Yuechan's words were somewhat misleading, then Situ Ze's words were a direct attempt to humiliate her, a knife plunged into her heart. Coupled with his disgusted expression, wouldn't that young lady be utterly devastated?

Huo Xiang stared wide-eyed in disbelief, her deeply wounded gaze pitiful, making one want to offer her comfort. However, apart from her elderly father, the only people present were probably just onlookers.

Unsurprisingly, she burst into tears, covered her face with a handkerchief, and ran out of the room.

After the little incident, Huo Zhengqi apologized profusely, making Qin Yuechan feel a little embarrassed. Then they began to discuss the restaurant.

She was about to take the silver notes when Huo Zhengqi took out the restaurant's land deed and pushed it in front of them, saying, "Keep the land deed safe. As for the money to take over the restaurant, someone paid for it this morning."

Qin Yuechan and Situ Ze exchanged a glance, then asked in surprise, "What kind of young master is he? Did he leave his name?"

Huo Zhengqi shook his head and tried to recall the man's appearance from his memory, but they couldn't remember who it was. Since someone had already given her the money, Qin Yuechan had no choice but to return it when she saw the man.

In addition, she added another 50% silver and handed it to Huo Zhengqi, but he refused it firmly. He had been doing business all his life and had his own principles. Moreover, the person in front of him was the benefactor who had saved him and his daughter. How could he accept this money?

She explained with a smile, "Your restaurant was built in a hurry, so the price is a bit below market value. You deserve the extra money, so please don't refuse it."

Huo Zhengqi wanted to refuse again, but then she said, "This money is not only for buying the restaurant, but also for your betrothal."

Now it was his turn to be puzzled. "Miss Qin, I don't understand what you mean."

Qin Yuechan's beautiful face was adorned with a gentle smile, and her voice was clear and bright: "My husband and I are from the White Tiger Kingdom doing business. We are afraid we won't be able to take care of the restaurant often, especially since it's our first time in the restaurant industry and we don't know much about it. And since you founded Zuixianlou, it would be like abandoning a child you've raised if you were to leave. So, Yuechan came up with a solution that would be perfect for both of us: you can continue to be the manager here, and I can rest assured that the restaurant won't lose money."

These words brought tears to Huo Zhengqi's eyes, who was over fifty years old. He had built Zuixianlou with his own hands when he was young. It held all his youth and all his memories of his deceased wife. How could it be turned away so easily without any emotion?

Even so, there are still some factors that he cannot accept.

Qin Yuechan noticed his expression change from excitement to frowning, so she spoke up before he could, saying, "Master Huo, there's no need to worry about Duan Xiufeng coming back for revenge. My husband heard that someone has reported this bully to the Prefect of the Capital, so he probably won't be able to do evil anymore."

After admiring his wife's actions for a while, Situ Ze, the husband who was mentioned, smiled in his captivating peach blossom eyes. His wife said that Duan Xiufeng should not do evil, so let him completely lose the possibility of doing evil. He looked up and said, "Don't worry, Master Huo."

In short, without any unnecessary embellishment, it makes people unable to help but believe it.

After giving Manager Huo a few instructions, Qin Yuechan drew a blueprint of the entire layout of the rooms in Zuixianlou before the two of them left together.

Walking down the street, she habitually took his arm. This unintentional gesture made Situ Ze very happy. The fragrance emanating from her filled his heart with sweetness.

Qin Yuechan, however, had no time to pay attention to that. Her eyes darted around the surrounding shops as she asked, "What do you think would be a good name for the restaurant?"

She racked her brains for names of modern five-star hotels, which sounded grand but were not suitable for ancient restaurants. After much thought, she had no choice but to ask the prince beside her for help.
