Madam Song was still in a daze when Xiaoxiao smiled and said to her, “Mother, how do you know that we won’t be able to earn more in the future since we can earn two taels in just two months? As long as we work hard, we can even earn back 200 taels or 2,000 taels for you, let alone 20 taels.”

She blinked playfully. “At that time, my brothers and 1 will buy a few maid servants for you and Father. You just have to plant flowers at home, play the zither, and be a rich and idle person. Father will be a big landlord, the kind who owns the best quality land.”

Madam Song only thought that her daughter was comforting her. She wanted to smile, but she couldn’t. She couldn’t hide the worry on her face. “How are we going to tell the manager of the Fragrance Restaurant about the recipe and the Ruyi Clothing Shop…”

The business was definitely gone, but what she cared about the most was that she had broken her promise. She felt guilty.

Xiaoxiao poured a glass of water for her parents. “Don’t worry, 1’11 go to the county tomorrow. Shopkeeper Xu and Shopkeeper Liu are very good people. This isn’t our fault. They won’t take their anger out on us.”

Madam Song and Ning Fengnian were still worried. “We have to do this personally to show our sincerity.”

The next day, as expected, their entire family set off. Ning Erlang was no longer in the mood to set up a stall. The family arrived at Fragrance Restaurant with heavy hearts, only to see the shopkeeper inviting them in amiably. He poured tea and served snacks. Not only did he not criticize them, but he also comforted them first.

“I’m ashamed. I just found out that the Heavenly Fragrance Restaurant actually went to cause trouble for you and implicated you. It’s my fault.”

Everyone from the Ning Family, who were mentally prepared to be scolded, was stunned on the spot. T-t-this was different from what they thought.

From an angle that no one could see, Xiaoxiao nodded gratefully at Shopkeeper Xu. She knew that if her parents did not come personally, the two of them would not be at ease even if she explained it to them herself. She might as well take this opportunity to let them come out for a walk.

Not only was Shopkeeper Xu not angry or scolding them, but he also personally went to invite Shopkeeper Liu when he found out that they were planning to go to the Ruyi Clothing Shop in the afternoon.

Just as they were about to apologize after calming their nervousness, they heard the beautiful and imposing Shopkeeper Liu smile and said, “1 happened to go out yesterday. 1 just heard that the manager went to the Ning Family. You shouldn’t be blamed for this. I didn’t tell you in advance and frightened you.”

Ning Fengnian and Madam Song looked at the two shopkeepers in surprise, then at their children, as if to say: Are the two shopkeepers who do business with our family so friendly?

Compared to his “family members” in the old residence, Ning Fengnian had mixed feelings.

Shopkeeper Xu invited the Ning Family to stay for a sumptuous lunch. Shopkeeper Liu also expressed that the compensation was a pure misunderstanding. She immediately tore the 1OU and returned the two taels of silver that she had just taken yesterday.

How could Madam Song accept it? She said that she had leaked the designs because she did not keep it a secret well. She had to take responsibility. Shopkeeper Liu’s persuasion was fruitless. She glanced at Xiaoxiao, who was watching the show, and suddenly clapped her hands and thought of a good idea.

“How about this? Coincidentally, 1 still have urgent embroidery work to do next, but the embroidery ladies in the cloth shop are all busy. If Sister-in-law is free, why don’t you take this order? 1’11 use the two taels of silver as a deposit for the materials. When Sister-in-law completes the embroidery work, 1’11 return the reward and deposit.”

Madam Song still felt that she had taken advantage of her. Shopkeeper Liu looked at Xiaoxiao and said faintly, “Sister-in-law, don’t worry. If you do that embroidery well and earn back the profits for our Ruyi Clothing Shop, it will definitely be enough to offset the small losses caused by that little tiger.”

Xiaoxiao:… Good lord, the pressure is on her now.

Shopkeeper Liu said disdainfully, “A fake is just a fake after all. They can only feel inferior in front of the high-quality products of our Ruyi Clothing Shop. Sister-in-law, don’t worry. Soon, those clowns won’t be able to jump around anymore..”
