After becoming rich overnight, I handed over the system.

Chapter 267 Restaurant

Hearing so many things she had never known before only made Wang Erya feel even more sad.

She originally planned to make the move today, but then she heard that her parents were coming tomorrow, so she decided to wait a little longer.

She walked outside, ignoring the teasing between Sanya and the prince inside, but she didn't miss the jealous look in Liuxu's eyes from outside.

It seems it really isn't that she taught poorly; some people are just born this way.

Wang Erya gradually walked out of the palace and headed towards the capital.

Stepping from the quiet palace into the bustling market, the red crepe lanterns in front of the shops were already lit up early.

Colorful banners embroidered with gold thread hung from the archways on both sides of the long street, fluttering in the wind.

The sweet, powdery scent of mutton soup mingled with the rich aroma of the pipa music, slowly dissipating with the sound of the pipa.

The candlelight shining through the carved lattice windows stained half of the Imperial River yellow. Suddenly, a silver flute rose from the painted boat, startling the bronze bells and wind horses crouching on the eaves.

A yamen runner in black boots, carrying a bag of molten iron and a fire stick, strolled across the Rainbow Bridge. The old boatman at the bow of the awning boat below the bridge tapped his long pole, and the boat full of lotus lanterns swayed gently, carrying the wishes of children and grandchildren as it floated toward the water gate.

Wang Erya listened to the sounds of the wind, water, and people as she walked to the front of her restaurant.

As a businesswoman, how could the capital city not have her shops?

I remember that the first shop I opened when I first came to the capital was a cosmetics shop. Wang Erya, who came from another world, knew that women's money was especially easy to earn.

Thanks to her prophetic abilities, her cosmetics shop quickly opened.

The lipsticks in various colors, the eyebrow pencils of different thicknesses, and the loose powder as delicate as snow became an instant hit in the capital city upon their release.

She was so full of vigor back then, and soon she opened her second and third shops.

But why did she end up with only this one restaurant?

Oh, it was her prince who said that since she was already a princess, it would be better to leave these material possessions to someone else.

So she gave her cosmetics shop to Sanya, her jewelry shop to her parents, her tailor shop to other family members, and in the end, she couldn't bear to part with any of it, so she only kept a restaurant.

Because she was still thinking about the many dishes she hadn't brought out yet, she wanted people in the world to taste something different.

Perhaps it was those familiar flavors that made her so reluctant to leave her original world.

Wang Erya stood in front of the restaurant, looking at the familiar signboard, her heart filled with mixed emotions.

She took a deep breath and was about to step into the restaurant.

"Second Master, you've arrived!"

Wang Erya looked at the man in front of her who was being addressed as "Second Master" by the waiter, and was somewhat surprised.

Isn't this her second cousin from her uncle's family?

Wang Erya's parents only had three daughters, and her grandparents never liked their family. Before Wang Erya transmigrated, the second wife's family always had a low status.

Grandparents wanted their eldest brother's second son to be adopted into their family, but their eldest brother's wife kept disagreeing.

After Wang Erya arrived, she naturally followed the procedure and forcefully forced her parents to separate the family property.

Her grandparents always disliked her because of this, and even after she made money in business, their attitude towards her remained the same until she became a princess, at which point their attitude towards her softened.

Wang Erya did give the spiritual spring water to her parents, but although their health improved, they just couldn't have children.

It seems that this second cousin was adopted by their family after all?

"Second Master, this is the Princess Consort's shop. You have no right to check the accounts!"

Wang Erya recognized him as Manager Liu from her restaurant.

"Manager Liu, even if this restaurant used to belong to Wang Erya, it doesn't anymore! After Wang Erya died, the restaurant was given to her parents. Now that I've been adopted, the restaurant is mine!" Wang Erya's cousin said smugly.

"You..." Manager Liu had no way to express his bitterness. These days, this second master would order a huge table of food every time he came to the restaurant, and then put it on the tab.

Now they're even going to audit the accounts directly. Sigh, how could the Princess Consort have passed away so young?

Helpless, Manager Liu handed the ledger to his second cousin.

Unexpectedly, after flipping through the documents, this second master started looking for information about Manager Liu.

"Manager Liu, how come this huge restaurant only earns one hundred taels of silver a day? Did you embezzle it?"

"Second Master, you must speak with a clear conscience! I work diligently every day and have never taken a single penny from the restaurant!" Manager Liu argued vehemently.

"Hmph, who knows! From now on, you can quit being the manager. Our restaurant doesn't need you anymore!"

"Second Master, I am the manager hired by the Princess Consort, you can't fire me!"

"That girl's dead, and I can't touch you! Get out of here, you're fired! Men, throw him out!"

The restaurant staff didn't move, unsure whether to listen to the other party.

"What? You don't want to work here anymore!"

After the second cousin said this, the restaurant staff had no choice but to push and shove Manager Liu out of the restaurant.

"Second Master, you can't do this! I promised the Princess I would watch the restaurant for her!" Manager Liu stepped forward and pleaded with his second cousin.

But he was shoved to the ground with a slap. "The person is dead, who's afraid of her now! Besides, I'm now rightfully taking over the restaurant!"

Right and legitimate?

Yes, at first her aunt was unhappy about her son being adopted, but later, when Wang Erya started making money and her second branch of the family prospered, her aunt was happy. Now it was the second branch's turn to be unhappy.

Her parents still wanted a biological son, and Wang Sanya and the others also felt that having a brother would be better. Only Wang Erya had received a modern education and believed that men and women were equal, and that it didn't matter whether she had a son or not, as long as she could earn money.

However, seeing that her parents were willing, and since she could afford to support them, she simply let them go.

It seems that after her parents' wishes were not fulfilled, they turned their attention to her second cousin and successfully adopted him.

The second cousin ignored Manager Liu, who had fallen to the ground, and turned back to the restaurant.

Manager Liu slumped to the ground, utterly dejected. "I promised the Princess I would look after the restaurant for her!"

Wang Erya recalled the time when she met Manager Liu. At that time, she was excited about opening a restaurant and had started interviewing candidates for the position of manager.

Among those who came, everyone thought that since she was a woman, she would definitely not succeed, and everyone looked down on her.

Only Manager Liu didn't look down on her. Even when she talked about her plans, Manager Liu didn't think there was anything out of the ordinary. He always praised Wang Erya for being so amazing and having so many good ideas!

The restaurant grew little by little under their management. Even after she became a princess and could not come to the restaurant often, Manager Liu patted his chest and promised to take good care of the restaurant for her!

Wang Erya didn't say anything, quietly entered the restaurant, and found the place where the silver was hidden.

Without hesitation, she took all the silver inside, followed the distraught Manager Liu, stuffed a stack of silver notes into his hand, and then returned to the Prince's Mansion.
