Su Liuyue's heart couldn't help but feel slightly warmed.

God knows how grateful she is that after coming into this world, she has met a family who cares for her so selflessly.

She said softly: "Uncle, didn't you say that you believe in His Highness's character and he will definitely not let anything happen to me?

Besides, I am not the kind of woman who can be bullied by others without any power."

Although, she was somewhat surprised when she heard Xue Chengyi say that Zhou Yunke had joined forces with his group to sing a different tune from the emperor in such a high-profile manner.

But she felt that Zhou Yunke was not hiding it from her on purpose. They had only been married for a few days, and so many things had happened in these few short days. It was normal that he did not have time to tell her many things.

Seeing Xue Chengyi's frown still unfurled, Su Liuyue couldn't help but smile, "Uncle, I actually trust His Highness more than you do. Although I've been married to him for less than half a month, I've been working for him for several months before that.

Long before I recognized him as my husband, I had already recognized that he was a trustworthy person.

During this period of time, I have to inconvenience my uncle and cousin."

Xue Chengyi's frown finally relaxed a little, and he raised the corner of his mouth slightly, pretending to be nonchalant and said: "What are you talking about being wronged or not? My uncle has been in the officialdom for decades, what kind of storms and rains has he not seen?

You and His Highness must be more careful during this period of time!"

Next, Yun, who had also realized that something was not right during this period, pulled Su Liuyue aside and gave her detailed instructions for a long time. She also stuffed a lot of her recently made clothes, cakes and other things into Su Liuyue's pockets before she watched her leave without hiding her worry.

Su Liuyue then went to Man Yifang and Jingzhao Prefecture as usual.

Man Yifang's situation was still the same as before. Xue Lingwan, who was busy there, saw her and immediately jumped up excitedly. She took her hand and said, "Cousin, before your wedding, you said you would develop new products for Man Yifang. Even now, I haven't even seen the shadow of the new products! Seeing that our other two branches are about to open, when will our new products come out?"

Su Liuyue looked at her with amusement, tapped her nose and said, "Look at you, you've become more and more like a debt collector lately. Every time you see me, you keep talking about new products. Aren't our mochi and crispy cakes still selling well?"

This is a fact. After all, these two kinds of pastries have only been launched for more than half a year, and people’s novelty for them is still not over.

Also, because these two kinds of pastries are not so easy to imitate, and Manager Yuan did a good job of keeping secrets, so far no competitor has emerged to compete with them.

To sum it up in one sentence - masters are always lonely.

Xue Lingwan looked unwilling, "Although this is the case, the number of repeat customers has decreased recently compared to the beginning. We only have these two kinds of cakes, and no matter how delicious they are, people will get tired of them. Although other cake shops can't make cakes that taste similar to ours, they are always trying to come up with new products! They come out several times a month, and there are always one or two cakes that can attract our customers.

Besides, no matter how delicious mochi and crispy cakes are, there will always be people who don’t like them. I still want to win over those people!”

This girl's ambition is growing.

Su Liuyue looked at her with amusement and said, "Alright, alright, isn't it easy to make new products? I have been delaying the production of new products. At first, I was thinking of waiting for the new store to open so that we could use it as a gimmick to make our new store a hit.

But now... maybe we need to slow down a bit."

Xue Lingwan immediately smelled something unusual, stood up straight and asked, "What are you waiting for? Do we need to wait a while before making new products, or do we need to wait a while before opening our new store?"

"Everything needs to be slowed down." Su Liuyue smiled faintly and said, "Recently, Xinjing and even the whole Daqing may not be peaceful. It is not a good time to open a new store now.

After all, we are not relying on those two new stores to make money for the time being, so it won’t be a big problem to wait for a few more months.

I don't have time to tell you the details of the situation, so go back and ask your uncle."

Xue Lingwan's face immediately fell, but she also knew that her cousin was not someone who would make decisions lightly.

Thinking of the recent undercurrents between the old and new dynasties in Xinjing City, Xue Lingwan frowned slightly and said uneasily: "So, how long do we have to wait? Although we don't need to make money from new stores now, we have already bought the stores, and it is also burning money if we don't open them.

Besides, I'm thinking about defeating Qifengju and Qiulixuan this year, so that Man Yifang can be among the top five pastry shops in Xinjing!"

When did this girl set such an ambitious goal?
Su Liuyue raised her eyebrows slightly and said with a smile, "Don't worry, it will take one or two months at the fastest, or half a year at the slowest. I won't let you wait too long."

The current situation cannot be deadlocked for too long.

After a pause, she said, “Besides, when I asked Manager Yuan to build a pastry workshop outside the city, I told him that I had a way to make money faster and easier.

When I have free time, I will focus my attention back on Man Yifang.

By then, let alone being in the top five in Xinjing, it won’t be impossible for us to become the top bakery in Daqing!”

Xue Lingwan's eyes suddenly became so bright that they seemed to blind people.

She quickly walked around behind Su Liuyue, patted her shoulders attentively, and said, "Cousin, you can do your work and take your time. I will take good care of Man Yifang for you!"

After leaving Man Yifang, Su Liuyue went to Jingzhao Prefecture.

Jingzhao Prefecture was also implicated in this turmoil. The first to be affected was Lu Shaoyin, because the Lu family he belonged to was also a fairly large family in the previous dynasty. This time he was also on the emperor's key investigation list and was directly suspended from his post.

When Su Liuyue arrived at Jingzhao Prefecture, she happened to see Lu Shaoyin, who had changed out of his official uniform, walking out with a dejected look on his face. Upon seeing Su Liuyue, he hurriedly stepped forward and saluted, saying, "Your humble servant greets the queen..."

"No need to be so polite, I just came to see if Jingzhao Prefecture needs any help."

Su Liuyue quickly helped him up, looked at the wooden box containing some of his miscellaneous items held by the servant behind him, and said softly: "Lu Shaoyin can just take this opportunity to give himself a holiday."

Lu Shaoyin smiled bitterly and said, "Indeed, since... the establishment of the new dynasty, I don't think I have had a good rest. Even on the days of ten-day rest, I often have to come back to work.

It was not until Yang Shaoyin arrived that my work became a little easier..."

When Daqing was first established, Jingzhao Prefecture was short-handed for a time because of the large-scale purge of personnel during the transition from the old dynasty to the new dynasty. Otherwise, Zhou Yunke would not have set up a trap and tricked her in to investigate the case for him.

Although she helped Lu Shaoyin share some of the work in investigating the case, Jingzhao Prefecture had to do more than just investigating the case.

Before Yang Shaoyin arrived, as Lu Shaoyin himself said, he stayed in Jingzhao Prefecture from dawn to dusk almost every day to handle official business. Many times, he didn't even have time to eat. (End of this chapter)
