Chapter 137 Departure

What does it feel like when I wake up and find my home is empty?

The bird's nest was not there, the bedding was neat, the room was clean and deserted, and smoke was already flowing in the kitchen. The stove was cold now, which was not right. A Yao was in a palpitations and looked around inside and out of the house. Finally, she found the aunt, and grabbed her and asked, "Auntie, have you seen the bird's nest?"

"Ah, I almost forgot. The bird's nest girl said she left you a letter and put it in your little treasure chest." The old lady patted her head and said.

A Yao ran back to the room, closed the door and headed straight to the bed to open the treasure chest. There was a letter sealed with fire paint lying inside.

She had a bad premonition, and she trembled and took it apart twice before tearing it apart. The words on the letter made her eyes dark:

She, is it abandoned?

A Yao looked at it repeatedly: "I agreed to take care of each other, but she left me and ran away secretly, not allowing contact."

She had thought that when she went to Beijing with Bird's Nest, the two of them worked together to overturn the case and brought Wangyue back. It was all her thoughts that she had stopped her dreams at the first step of reality. Bird's Nest's move hit A Yao, and she also won, successfully leaving A Yao in Nanxun.

What should she do now when she put down the letter decadently?

Should I stay in Nanxun and continue to run her sweet cake shop, live in the house, occasionally take a small banquet, or change direction to Fuhai, catch up with Wangyue, or... continue to go to Beijing, what did I think before, continue to do it, go to Beijing, gain reputation, use food to conquer the powerful, show your connections, and think... to think of a way to reverse the verdict of Wangyue.

But Bird's Nest and Wangyue remained silent, and she actually didn't know much about their cases.

A Yao put away the letter and sighed. She hadn't been to the sweet cake shop for a while and had to go and check it out. She still had ten days to consider.

Kiryu wiped the table, and the water signs in the store were still the same, and the business was bleak. It took a long time for someone to eat the bowl of porridge, which was incomparable to the lively bustle a few months ago.

"Kurizuki, are you the only one in the store?"

"Boss, you're here." Kiryu dropped the rag and poured A Yao a bowl of barley tea, and said bitterly that since something happened to Wangyue, she didn't come to the sweet cake shop. The shopkeeper of Gaojia Restaurant came to promote the bad things in the store. Several helpers were poached by him, and some people found another way out. He was the only one left in the store some time ago. Knowing that A Yao was running around for Wangyue, she didn't bother her much, and she could barely maintain it.

"Sorry." Apart from being sorry, A Yao couldn't say anything else. She has not been a qualified boss since the New Year.

Strangely, not long after A Yao sat down, maybe she saw someone in the store. At 66 Xuxu, a believer from the back door of the Taoist temple came in to beat the nail on the head. Before the two of them could sigh, they started working until half an hour before sunset.

A Yao ordered Kiryu to close the sweet cake shop early. She was calculating the surplus this year and was surprised by the account book. Kiryu also shouldered the responsibility of the shopkeeper. When she was away, he helped the worker. Now the money collected is comparable to the book - and Kiryu did not take his share.

After settled the wages for Kiryu, he seemed to understand A Yao's actions: "Boss, are you... you want to fire me?"

"No, no, no, this is a normal settlement. You haven't received the share you deserve. I'm not angry. I'm not here to act as an agent. No problem, even if you come to tell me that I will let you be fully responsible - at that time, my heart was all over Mr. Wangyue." A Yao quickly explained, and then a thought arose in her heart: "Kurizuru, have you ever thought about opening a store by yourself?"

"Ah? Boss, you're kidding. I don't want money, but I don't have skills. I'll just be a runner-up in my life, so how can I open a shop by myself?" Kiryu scratched his head.

A Yao didn't joke, "If I rent the store to you, you will run it, what do you think?"

She didn't want to sell the store, so this was given to her by Wangyue, but she didn't know if she would come back when she would come back. Instead, she could rent the store out or leave it to others for business. Just like Wangyue and Zuixianlou, she also had an income.

"What should you do if you little boss?"

"I'm going to Beijing. I'm reluctant to sell the sweet cake shop and plan to rent it out and collect some rent."

Kiryu shook his head and refused: "I can't do it. If you want to rent out the sweet cake shop, just find the shop office to handle it. The shop office is next to the yamen.



A Yao, who said this, decided to take root in the capital. As long as she stood high, she would meet bird's nest one day, and she had not realized that she still had the expectation of meeting her old friends.

A Yao handled her affairs and asked the escort agency if she could go out in advance. The answer she got was that she would take the escort to the road for seven days. The Bird's Nest just didn't want to give her a chance, unless she was alone in the capital, but the memory of escaping from Jiangcun a few years ago was deeply imprinted in her mind. When she remembered the fake monk who had lost the temple along the way, she had weak legs and had no courage to go to the capital by herself, and she didn't know how to go.

On the day A Yao set off, Yao Cuishengxiang and Yingniang came to see her farewell.

The river bank is wide, and wild ducks swim out from the reeds.

"The autumn is clear and cool, and I can't say the sad words of Liu Changti. A Yao, take care of yourself, and you will write to me when you arrive in the capital." Ying Niang was reluctant to leave, "Maybe I will come to you when I go to the capital to play."

Yao Cui Shengxiang looked at each other: "A Yao, why don't I write a letter to the young master to tell him?"

A Yao knew what they were worried about: "No need, Pei Shuo hasn't written to me for a long time. I won't bother him when I go to the capital. Bird's nest will go to explore the way first. We plan to make a name for ourselves in the capital. Nanxun is rich, but it is still a little smaller, and it is not enough for us to stretch our strength."

The two of them felt relieved and wished A Yao a good luck.
