Chapter 623: An Ordinary Young Lady

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation   Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Lan Ruobing looked around and said, “Let’s go back.”

Meanwhile, Yue Huachen gathered plenty of information from the Cool Breeze Gang for Lan Ruobing.

The princess had even sent someone to watch over Yue Huachen, although the latter had hidden his identity and background well. He could not let others discover he was from the deceased royal’s mansion.

Although he had gotten captured and blinded by poison once, he did not reveal he was a member of the deceased royal’s mansion.

Su Binglan twitched in her sleep when she dreamed of this scene. Those were her memories as Lan Ruobing; she remembered them when she woke up the following morning.

Usually, Su Binglan would get off the bed immediately after waking up, but she lay still this time.

Luo Jin’an looked at her worriedly and asked, “What’s wrong?”

He felt something must be on his wife’s mind as she looked conflicted.

Meanwhile, Su Binglan felt guilty after considering what Yue Huachen had experienced. If she had not arranged for him to join the Cool Breeze Gang, he would not have experienced those horrible things.

Su Binglan wrapped her arms around herself and said, “l want to meet Huachen as soon as possible to cure his eyes. I want to see what’s going on with him. Perhaps I won’t blame myself so much if I cure him.”

Luo Jin’an frowned and gently patted his wife’s back, trying to comfort her.

Then he said, “All right, I made arrangements last night. He’ll be here soon.”

He did not ask Su Binglan before making the arrangement because he would support her no matter what she wanted to do.

Su Binglan nodded. “Okay.”

Although she had grown accustomed to handling matters independently, she felt it was nice to have Luo Jin’an beside her whenever she felt down. Even a simple hug from him would give her strength.

Su Binglan collected herself and went to wash up. After breakfast, the family discussed going to town for New Year’s shopping. Even though the family had many things at home, they still liked shopping because it was fun.

The Su family’s financial situation was not good in the past, but they still looked forward to shopping for New Year’s goods in town. However, the family was reluctant to overbuy.

Whenever they saw something they liked, they would hesitate and not buy it. The family also limited themselves to buying two cheap things at most. If the family wanted pork, they would buy one pound to eat on New Year’s Day. Since their conditions had improved, they became more willing to buy more things for the New Year.

Su Binglan could not suppress her smile when she saw her family’s excited expressions, especially Su Xuexuan and Su Xuehai, who were on school vacation.

The two little ones were excited to go shopping in town. Since the family had a carriage, they took it to town. It was only in the middle of the morning when they reached town.

Many people were there, even on the west side of town, where it used to be remote. However, it was almost as lively as the east side since it had developed more.

Many people came and went on the streets. Since the shops would be closed during the New Year celebrations, the vendors stayed open for another day. The whole street was lively, with people walking around. Some even set up stalls near the town’s entrance.

The Su family strolled around town and bought the stuff they needed. Afterward, they went to Drunken Cloud Restaurant for lunch.

When Mr. Wang heard that Su Binglan and her family had arrived, he excitedly ran out to personally receive them. “l didn’t expect you to come here for a meal, Miss Su! It’s Drunken Cloud’s honor to serve you and your family.”

Su Binglan was a significant celebrity in Tenghe Town—everyone knew her name. Mr. Wang never forgot how Tenghe town was and knew it could never compare to the current one.

‘It’s all thanks to Miss Su. I thought she was an ordinary young lady when I first met her. However, she quickly brought about massive changes to the villages and Tenghe Town.’

Mr. Wang was genuinely grateful to Su Binglan because she provided Drunken Cloud with its signature dishes, improved its business exponentially, and saved many people after the earthquake.

Mr. Wang and his family might have died if she had not predicted and warned everyone about the earthquake.

Everyone was fine, thanks to Miss Su. I still have a lingering fear whenever I think about the earthquake, not to mention the war a while ago.’

Mr. Wang heard from others that Su Binglan had gone to help in the war. She had provided the soldiers with medicinal herbs, sweaters, food, and other things.

‘Miss Su played many roles the commoners might not know about, but I was well-informed.’

Mr. Wang treated the Su family well and brought them upstairs to the best private room. The room was spacious and bright. It was also near a window, so the family could eat while enjoying the scenery.

Since the entire family had interacted with various merchants, they gathered vast knowledge and were not restrained when they dined at Drunken Cloud. The family would feel anxious in such a luxurious place if it were the past. To be exact, they would not even consider or dare to eat at a place like Drunken Cloud.

In the past, the family felt they could not afford to eat at roadside stalls that sold buns, let alone Drunken Cloud.

Thus, Shen Qiuhua and the rest felt emotional as they sat in Drunken Cloud’s best private room, especially when Mr. Wang treated them with such politeness.

He handed a menu to Su Binglan and asked, “What would you like to eat, Miss Su?”

The restaurant did not have menus in the past. They only made some after Su Binglan suggested it to them. Nonetheless, everyone felt it was more convenient to refer to a menu when ordering.

The waiters could also feel more relaxed as they did not have to recite their food options to customers every time. The waiters also had to memorize each dish’s price and not mix them up.

The customers enjoyed the convenience of having a menu as they could see the food options and prices at a glance. The menus saved time and effort, and the customers could quickly make their orders after glancing at the menu.

Su Binglan was impressed when she read through the menu. She looked at it and considered opening a restaurant at the border after New Year.

Mr. Wang looked at Su Binglan and waited instead of urging her to order.

Meanwhile, the waiters outside the private room discussed things excitedly.

“Miss Su came here for a meal!”

“Yeah, 1 saw her just now.. She looks so angelic!”
