Time Travel: The Noble Family

Yueyao smiled and said, "Don’t worry, I know what I’m doing." She would do easy tasks, but she definitely wouldn’t agree to anything difficult.

Although Xiang Wei thought Yuehuan was peculiar, she never rejected good things: "Young lady, actually I’ve always had a dream. I just always felt the time wasn’t right, but now I think it is."

Hearing this, Yueyao had a strange expression on her face.

Noticing Yueyao’s expression, Xiang Wei unhappily said, "What’s that look? You have dreams, but I’m not allowed to have any? Previously, because of my poor health, I knew I didn’t have long to live, so I had no plans for the future. But now, it’s different. My illness is nearly cured, and that fat doctor said in about a month or so and a year of recuperation, I would be completely well. Once I’m healthy, I can’t stay cooped up in the inner house every day, how boring that would be."

Yueyao laughed and said, "What’s your dream?"

Xiang Wei shared her dream: "When I was younger, I couldn’t often have pastries. At that time, I thought that when I grew up, I would open a pastry shop so I could have pastries every day."

Yueyao understood what Xiang Wei meant about the timing being right this time; this woman clearly had her eyes set on the pastry recipes Yuehuan had sent.

Yueyao always knew that Xiang Wei couldn’t be restrained. Even if she didn’t open a pastry shop, she’d do something else. Rather than letting Xiang Wei do things she didn’t know about, it was better to open a pastry shop: "I’ll write to Yuehuan to ask; if she agrees, you can use these pastry recipes." Making them at home for her family was certainly fine, but selling them required Yuehuan’s consent, since she was the rightful owner.

Seeing Yueyao write the letter, Xiang Wei said, "Miss, let me deliver the letter!" She wanted to discuss things with Yuehuan in person. She believed Lian Yuehuan surely had other rare pastry recipes.

Yueyao did not object.

Yuehuan was very surprised to hear that Xiang Wei had come over. She had long known that Xiang Wei’s identity wasn’t simple, so there had to be something significant about this visit.

Xiang Wei didn’t beat around the bush and directly told Yuehuan her intention: "The Fourth Miss can name a price." Xiang Wei hadn’t planned to take Yuehuan’s things for free, and even if she wanted to, Yueyao wouldn’t agree.

Yuehuan was a bit surprised.

Xiang Wei gauged Yuehuan’s intentions: "I’m sure the Fourth Miss knows my master’s temperament; she isn’t cut out for business. However, she doesn’t object to me doing business."

Yuehuan also wanted to open a pastry shop but hadn’t expected Xiang Wei to have such a keen insight, also wanting to open a dessert shop.

Yuehuan thought of many things and clarified that she wouldn’t sell the recipes: "I’d like to be a shareholder. If you agree, I can provide you with more new-style pastries in the future." Rather than killing the hen to get the eggs, it was better to let the hen lay eggs, so she could have eggs every day.

Xiang Wei understood Yuehuan’s idea and straightforwardly said, "Alright, but I can only give you a 30% share, no more. Also, in the future, you can provide suggestions for the shop, but the decision-making power is mine." She would certainly accept good suggestions, but having someone meddle with her shop was definitely out of the question. It was her shop, and she was in charge.

Yuehuan nodded. When Xiang Wei mentioned signing a contract, Yuehuan shook her head and said, "No need for a contract, I trust Third Sister." Yuehuan had her reasons for not signing a contract. The Qian Family had tied itself to the Fourth Prince, and the risk in the fight for the throne was too high. Moreover, seeing Yueyao’s attitude, this Fourth Prince likely wasn’t the final victor, so she needed to secure more protection for herself and her child.

Having Yueyao as an ally also provided her with more security for the future.

Xiang Wei gave Yuehuan a meaningful look. When she returned to the An Mansion, she asked Yueyao, "Miss, did you say something to Lian Yuehuan?" Xiang Wei always knew that Lian Yuehuan was a smart person; refusing a contract couldn’t just be because of trust in her master, so Lian Yuehuan must have her own plans.

Listening to Xiang Wei, Yueyao laughed and said, "Since she said that, you should just go along with it. If the shop makes money, she won’t miss her share of the dividends."

Xiang Wei was a little ruffled: "My shop is definitely going to make money." Having all kinds of pastries to eat was a priority, but the shop definitely needed to make money, not a loss.

Yueyao had never seen Xiang Wei so serious about anything: "I won’t get involved in this matter. If you need me for anything, just let me know." Doing business depends on talent. If she tried her hand at business, it would definitely result in a loss.
