Chapter 558: Chapter 560: The Hesitant Woman_1

The Old Madame Zhi pondered for a while, "That could work, but the products from Zhi Meitang are quite expensive, and the Yamen always puts a cap on prices for such events. We have tried to participate before but were never successful. I suspect that will be the case this year, too. Nonetheless, rest assured, those who can afford to take part in the pageant are generally well-off, so they should come to buy even without additional publicity on our part."

Nan Feng replied, "True, but if we became the designated supplier, we would gain significant exposure. It would serve as tremendous publicity."

Old Madame Zhi then said, laughing, "Alright then, you should be the one to decide that!"

...

After leaving Old Madame Zhi’s room, Nan Feng was preparing to take Xiaolun back to Spikenard Square when they were stopped on their way by someone in one of the flower galleries of Zhi Mansion, "Miss Nan!"

Nan Feng turned around and saw a woman in her thirties standing beneath an osmanthus tree. She was dressed elegantly, but she seemed timid, as though she lacked a certain force or aura of her own.

Xiaolun called out first, "Mother?"

Then she ran up to Chen Family.

Nan Feng then nodded at her.

The lady of the Chen Family embraced Xiaolun and then moved in front of Nan Feng, "Miss Nan, may I have a private conversation with you?"

"Of course," Nan Feng knew that what Xiaolun’s mother would talk about wouldn’t be concerning whether Xiaolun was doing well with her, it should be related to Zhi Meitang.

"Xiaolun, you go play with your brother for a while. Once I’m done talking with Sister Nan, I’ll call you," Chen said.

Enthralled by the prospect of seeing her brother, whom she hadn’t met in ages due to her being at Nan Feng’s for her studies, Xiaolun happily ran off.

At a stone table adjacent to the flower gallery, Chen and Nan Feng sat facing each other.

Chen seemed hesitant to speak up, she stuttered several times without uttering a word.

Nan Feng then took the initiative, "Madam, do you want to ask something about Zhi Meitang?"

"Indeed," Chen looked at Nan Feng. "I know that Zhi Meitang was handed over to you directly by Grandma, but you..."

"But I am an outsider!"

Seeing Chen’s hesitations, Nan Feng spoke on her behalf, "I am just an outsider, and the second lady is worried that I might take Zhi Meitang for myself, right?"

Chen blushed.

Nan Feng smiled, "The second wife shouldn’t feel shameful discussing these issues. Actually, when the Old Madame brought Xiaolun to me, I knew her intentions. Zhi Meitang is just temporarily under my management. When Xiaolun is ready, it would unquestionably be hers. Do not worry, I am not a greedy person. The profits from the past two years are more than enough for me, I am very content."

Upon hearing Nan Feng’s words, a flicker of unexpected joy crossed Chen’s face, "Is... is that really how you intended it, Miss Nan?"

Nan Feng nodded slightly, "Therefore, during these two years, you’re better off reminding Xiaolun constantly to focus on studying, instead of instructing her how to guard against me taking over Zhi Meitang. At this age, children easily pick up bad habits, whatever you instill in her is what she will learn. Don’t make her believe that everyone in this world is a bad person. After all, she will be spending time with me."

Chen’s face flushed deeply, "I will most definitely not teach Xiaolun that way. Actually, it is grandma who has been responsible for Xiaolun all these years, not me. Xiaolun’s temperament is just like her great grandmother."

As Nan Feng was speaking with Chen, a man rushed hurriedly from the flower gallery. Despite the urgency in his stride, he looked worn-out.
