Chapter 399: Pouring Water on Her Head (4)_1
"Who says? It’s definitely that one." Xia Zheng started speaking but stopped midway, "You’ll understand once you take over." Having broadly grasped the state of the various branches of Fuman Building, although not in great detail, it was certainly better than being completely in the dark. Moreover, many details were clearly not clear to Xia Zheng either; it seemed she could only understand fully after meeting with the Shopkeepers of the branches.
The day to meet with each Shopkeeper was set for noon, two days later. That day, Lin Yuan had Lin Yi drive the carriage to town early. She needed to swing by the tofu workshop first and then go check on Rice Flower Fragrance.
Loudmouth had agreed to help out at Rice Flower Fragrance. She hadn’t had the chance to inform the people at the shop yet—it was the perfect time to stop by and let them know.
Hearing that her older sister was going to town to inspect the shops, Lin Wei quickly got up. She had run out of embroidery silk, and it was the perfect opportunity to accompany her sister and pick some new silk at Mo Sanniang’s fabric shop.
Having not seen Lan Hua for several days since their last encounter, Lin Yuan thought about who could be so loose-lipped, constantly spouting nonsense in the shop. Thus, she didn’t have Shopkeeper Zhou announce her arrival when she entered.
Pretending to browse, Lin Wei went off on her own while Lin Yuan slipped into the back courtyard alone. Just as she reached the kitchen doorway, she heard a buzz of chatter from inside, clearly from the same person.
