Chapter 416

Transmigrator Meets Reincarnator

Chapter 416: Not Stupid (1)

The profits from Guilin Restaurant were helping with the burden of Countess Jing’an’s medicine expenses now and the matriarch had handed the deed for the restaurant over to Chu Lian back then. If she were to take it back and put it into the public accounts now, it wouldn’t be appropriate.

Matriarch He thought of how Chu Lian was still in the north and sighed, “Xiangyun, what should I do?”

Senior Servant Liu frowned. It took a short while for her to reply, “How about putting two months of Guilin Restaurant’s profits into the public funds for now? When Third Young Madam returns from the north, Matriarch can return Guilin Restaurant to her. How does that sound?”

Matriarch He’s lit up and she nodded immediately, “Let’s do that.”

The matriarch’s private assets weren’t infinite either. Their whole family wasn’t good at business. She had used her private funds to make up for shortfalls here and there and she still had to leave enough for He Erlang’s wedding. There really wasn’t much left.

As for Miss Ying’s matter, although her daughter hadn’t lived up to her expectations when she was younger, that was still a child she had carried for ten months in her womb. Now that her daughter had left her husband’s family and had no other support in the world, along with her newly come-of-age daughter, she had to stretch her funds to account for Miss Ying as well now that she was coming back.

Children would always be a debt for their parents. As rational as Matriarch He was normally, when it came to her own daughter, she just couldn’t make her usual clear-headed decisions.

“Muxiang, come with me to Guilin Restaurant later,” Senior Servant Liu instructed.

Muxiang had been doing needlework in the corner. She seemed a little dazed and she didn’t respond for quite some time.

Senior Servant Liu shot a glance at the girl when she didn’t get a reply. Upon noticing her odd behavior, she found it weird and asked, “Muxiang, what’s wrong? Are you feeling unwell?”

It was only then that Muxiang returned to her senses. She shook her head and replied respectfully, “Matriarch,, don’t talk about that anymore. No matter how much Guilin Restaurant has earned last month, it has nothing to do with our Third Young Madam.”

The senior servants exchanged bewildered looks before they spoke up, “Why not? It was Third Young Madam who single-handedly made Guilin Restaurant what it is. Although she borrowed the restaurant that the matriarch gifted to her, the deed is still under Third Young Madam’s name!”
