Chapter 278 - 277: The Movements of Madam Yin
Madam Yin envisioned herself engaged in the same business as her daughter, such harmony, such affinity, which, of course, brought nothing but comfort.
"Aiyo, wife of the heir apparent," Nanny Huang exaggerated her laughter, "here in the capital, you can’t open the same type of business as the young miss. You must open something bigger, better, and more prosperous."
Madam Yin sat up straight, wiped her cheeks and the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief, and said, "Indeed, I should open a large Pastry House. When Ah Yan comes back, I’ll hand over the business to her. Our Ah Yan is so clever, she will certainly make the business well-known throughout the capital."
No sooner had she spoken than she changed her mind, "No, with so many shopkeepers and assistants in our household, I should open a Pastry House in both the east and west of the city to match Ah Yan’s great ideas."
Nanny Huang smiled in agreement, "Absolutely. You need to manage the business well, then the young miss will be happy."
With a clear goal in mind, Madam Yin, shaking off her prolonged dejection, briskly ordered, "Nanny, go arrange the carriage and horses. Tomorrow at dawn, we shall go to the temple to offer the first incense, and give a generous donation. Then command the shopkeepers and stewards from the nearby estates to come to the Duke’s Mansion in the morning."

Maternal Aunt Liu, who managed the affairs of the Inner Residence of Duke An’s Mansion, naturally knew that Lian Gui had returned. She also kept a continuous watch over the Duchess’s courtyard, although she couldn’t show up openly like Madam Yin and had to inquire in secret.
