Back at the restaurant, it was already closed, and Qin Lian was calculating today's income.
Seeing Qin Lian's capable look, Su Liuye felt that the little girl who was forced to cry and beg by her parents in the village can now take charge of her own business. Even if she is not in the store, Qin Lian and Liu Sheng can take charge of the overall situation.
"Aliu, you're back!"
Seeing her coming back, Qin Lian hurriedly greeted her and handed her today's bill to see. After confirming that there was no problem, she went back to rest.
Su Liuye returned to the room. Both children had fallen asleep, but Chu Yan was not in the room. Wu Yun was accompanying Dabao and Erbao.
The Wu Yue sisters are a few years older than Dabao and the others. They spend most of their time in the store, and their relationship has become increasingly close. Erbao has long regarded them as sisters, and calls them along whenever he does anything.
Seeing the children sleeping soundly, Su Liuye gently covered them with quilts and went outside to freshen up.
Just as he was about to go back to his room to rest, there was the movement of a carriage from the back door. Su Liuye looked around in confusion and saw Chu Yan getting off the carriage.
She was not surprised where Chu Yan was going so late. Ye Yunniang, who was wearing green clothes, got out of the carriage and handed the things in her hands to Chu Yan.
"Brother Chu, the weather has been getting cooler recently. The injury you suffered before has not healed yet. I have prepared these ointments in the past few days. Take them back and apply them on the wounds if you feel uncomfortable."
"You were badly burned last time. You need to pay attention to the wound, otherwise it will easily relapse."
"Um."
Chu Yan took the bottle she handed him, his expression still cold.
Just as he was about to turn around and leave, she stopped him again. As if she had made up her mind, Ye Yunniang asked, "When will you return to the capital?"
"Is there a problem?"
"This letter was sent to the Huichun Hall not long ago. I'm afraid I have to go back." Ye Wengyang handed him a letter with a solemn look on his slender eyebrows, "I'm afraid you have received this news a long time ago. Bar?"
Chu Yan took the letter and opened it, his expression quickly became solemn.
Seeing his expression, Ye Yunniang already had the answer in her heart. She looked at the rare quiet restaurant in front of her and said sadly, "Brother Chu, the situation is tense now. I'm afraid you won't be able to stay in Luoxi Town forever. Even if you want to do this, I'm afraid the people in the dark will not agree."
"If you want to go back, come with me. This way you have an excuse, otherwise..." At this point, Ye Yunniang frowned, and the sadness on her face became even more intense.
Chu Yan returned the letter to her, "No, if you have anything to do, go back first."
"But you-"
As she said that, she saw the indifference in Chu Yan's eyes, and her heart suddenly throbbed, fearing that the actor didn't care about her worries at all.
In this case, she has crossed the line.
Ye Yunniang lowered her eyes and couldn't hide her loneliness in her voice, "Brother Chu, you and I have known each other for many years, and I really don't want to see being involved in those things. You know some things better than me, so why keep delaying?"
Chu Yan narrowed his eyes and naturally knew that what Ye Yunniang said was right. The situation in Beijing was tense and he should go back immediately instead of delaying here.
Ye Yunniang's father and grandfather were both famous imperial doctors in the palace. However, due to certain events, the Ye family moved away from the capital, and Ye Yunniang returned to Luoxi Town to take over the Huichun Hall left by her ancestors.
Ye Yunniang had excellent medical skills and was deeply loved by the concubines in the palace when she was still in the capital. She was the only female doctor. Now that the Empress Dowager is seriously ill, someone in the palace is thinking of her.
The person who sent her the letter was a concubine in the palace who was the Empress Dowager's niece, asking her to return to the palace to take care of the Empress Dowager. The letter also hinted that these were the emperor's wishes.
After seeing the letter, Ye Yunniang knew that she could not refuse and had to go back. She also knew that since the Emperor wanted her to go back, it meant that the Empress Dowager's condition was so serious that there was no way to save her. He just wanted her to take care of the Empress Dowager until her last days.
There are so many imperial doctors in the palace who are better than her in medical skills, and no matter what happens, it will not be her turn. But if the Empress Dowager really fails, there will be many things that are not convenient for the imperial doctors to handle. After all, the imperial doctors are all men. She is the only female doctor, so some things naturally have to be handled by her.
She looked at Chu Yan and lowered her eyes, her eyes even more sorrowful.
She knew that Chu Yan must be aware of this, but...
She opened her mouth, but she really didn't want to ask Chu Yan whether it was because of Su Liuye that Chu Yan didn't want to leave Luoxi Town in such a hurry.
She has been in the town for a few years, so she naturally knows what the Liu family is doing in the town. She also knows that Su Liuye is preparing for a new silk and satin shop recently. This is nothing more than provoking the Liu family.
Ye Yunniang has also heard that the Liu family has caused trouble for Su Liuye more than once. In a few days, the silk and satin shop will open for business. How could the Liu family let go of this opportunity?
The Liu family has had a monopoly in Luoxi Town for so long. If Su Liuye really opens the business, wouldn't it be a slap in their face?
These days are particularly important...
Is it because of this reason that Chu Yan doesn't want to leave at this time?
She sighed, knowing that it was useless for her to say more. Chu Yan's decision would not change because of her.
Thinking of this, she felt even more uncomfortable, but she could only hold on and said, "Brother Chu, I will pack my bags and go back in the next few days. If you are free, come over here in the next few days and I will give you the remaining ointment." Give you all."
She went to take care of the Empress Dowager this time, and she didn't know when she would be back. Besides...she didn't know when Chu Yan would handle the matter in Luoxi Town.
"I will let Cheng Hu pass." Chu Yan naturally knew what she was thinking, and naturally he would not allow Ye Yunniang to think too much.
He knew Ye Yunniang's thoughts in the past, but considering that the two had known each other for many years, he did not speak directly. Now that he was married, he should make it clear to Ye Yunniang.
Hearing his words, Ye Yunniang became emotional and said, "Brother Chu, you -" The words reached her lips, and the indifference in Chu Yan's eyes made her unable to speak any more.
Her eyes were red, but she didn't expect Chu Yan to be so heartless and unwilling to even see her one more time.
"good."
She held back the bitterness in her heart and quickly returned to the carriage.
When the coachman saw her getting into the car, he raised his whip and the carriage quickly left.
Seeing this scene, Su Liuye was surprised. Seeing that Chu Yan was coming back, she subconsciously hid aside.
But just as she was hiding, she suddenly remembered that with Chu Yan's skills, he should be able to spot her immediately, and there was no point in hiding.
Just as she was about to come out, she saw Chu Yan standing on the other side of the corridor, looking towards her.
Su Liuye was panicked and immediately pretended to be looking for something and accidentally found him, "Husband, when did you come back?"
