Su Qingyue gazed at the ever-changing evening glow outside the window, hoping her third brother would not change.

The accounts, after all, needed to be settled, just waiting for third brother now.

…

The three shops that Su Qingyue opened were originally doing exceptionally well, and business boomed even more after the revelation that Xiao Yuchuan was the legitimate son of a first-class family.

Xiao Yuchuan was especially busy today because some of the dry goods and meat suppliers, long-term partners of the New Moon Restaurant, stopped providing their products due to debts at home.

He was in charge of procurement and was preparing to find another stable supplier.

There were plenty of merchants volunteering their services, but he couldn’t just rely on the samples they brought; there was no guarantee about the quality of the bulk goods.

So, he went to see for himself.

Additionally, he needed to check the accounts today, which took up the whole day after all the busy work.

After the sun had set, Xiao Yuchuan finally signed the procurement agreement with the merchants.

In this period, the accounts of the three shops had been settled as well, indeed making a substantial amount of silver taels. Contingent on this trend, he would soon transition from a rich merchant to a magnate. Even without depending on a powerful first-class family, he and his wife were on the path to becoming the wealthiest in the country.

He had not walked far from the main gate of the shop when Shen Yun, supported by her maid Minxiang, hurried toward him, “Chuan’er!”

Seeing the typically composed Shen Yun so flustered, Xiao Yuchuan raised an eyebrow and asked, “Lady Xiao, what’s the matter?”

Shen Yun glanced around at the busy crowds, “This is not a place to talk. Come, follow me back to the Mansion, I have something to tell you.”

“I haven’t seen my wife for almost a day.” Xiao Yuchuan walked towards the Mansion, “Unless it’s something very urgent, let’s discuss it tomorrow.”

And give him a chance to see that despicable woman Su Qingyue? Shen Yun hurriedly said, “Chuan’er, it’s a matter of great urgency.”

“An urgent matter, huh.” Xiao Yuchuan thought for a moment, “If it’s that urgent, you don’t need to tell me. I’m just a village man, unexposed to the ways of the world. Besides, the affairs of the Xiao Family don’t seem to have much to do with me.”

The Xiao Chonghuan couple had only asked him to return to the capital city, but had said nothing about how to deal with the marriage contract with the Gongsun Family.

He had thought it over; going to the capital city like this would definitely not sit well with his wife.

He absolutely could not allow his wife to suffer.

Once you take someone’s money, it’s hard to avoid being led by the nose.

The businesses in the shops were so good, and there were so many fixed properties–the forty three-story buildings with courtyards, operating three big shops, and collecting rent. He and his wife were indeed rich now.

He could live well without going to the capital city. At worst, he would just work hard to learn how to concoct poisons. Whoever tried to snatch his wife, he would simply poison them dead.

Seeing her son like this, Shen Yun was displeased inside, but her face remained amiable, “Your Father and Mother have been swindled out of one hundred and fifteen thousand taels. Aren’t you going to inquire at all?”

“That’s peculiar indeed.” Xiao Yuchuan’s interest rose a bit, “Aren’t first-class families all-powerful? Who would dare to swindle your money?”

“It’s a long story…”

“Make a long story short.” He was in a hurry to see his wife and had no time to dawdle.

As soon he entered the Mansion, he bellowed out loud, “Wife, wife, where are you? Your husband, whom you’ve been pining for, is back!”

“Replying to the son-in-law, the young Lady is in the Qin Garden rest room.” A servant sweeping in the yard answered.

“Did my wife mention missing me?”

“No.”

“Is it ‘no’ because she didn’t, or because she missed me but didn’t tell you?”

“…” The servant felt that for a married couple, there was really no need for such clinginess. Being a servant, though, one had to flatter, “I believe the young Lady truly missed the son-in-law, it’s just that I am of low status and she didn’t mention it to me.”
