“After all, Magu is nowhere to be found now,” Zhou Ying said with a smile.

“Not bad; let’s give it a try.” Gu Chengrui said.

Zhou Ying nodded and then found the servant girl’s information. She didn’t expect that she was one of Mrs. Lu’s personal servant girls who was usually responsible for serving tea and helping to manage the household accounts.

She shook her head and said, “I don’t know if Mrs. Lu is that blind or if this spy is too successful.”

“Perhaps that spy was too successful. Magu never mentioned it, so it seems that they don’t know.”

“That’s true. Looking at her age, she should have been by Mrs. Lu’s side for quite some time.

“Presumably, this was one of the hidden reasons why Mrs. Lu was able to rise to the top.” After Zhou Ying finished speaking, she turned around and got busy.

Once they were done with their work and everyone was almost asleep, Zhou Ying took the Soul Severing Incense and gave it to the spy.

She even deliberately left some incense that had yet to be burned out.

She later threw the corpse of the spy into a dry well in a side courtyard where Magu often stored her victims.

In the end, she took all of Mrs. Lu’s private stash of treasure into her space.

She also returned Xiao Xu’s 2,000 taels of silver.

After Gu Chengrui sent Gu Chenglin off the next morning, Zhou Ying called Zhou Dong over and said, “Brother Zhou Dong, how’s your learning at the teahouse?

“Can you manage a small shop now?”

“Yes, to put it bluntly, I’ve got to be sweet with my words, quick on my feet, and keep the accounts diligently.

“Although I can’t manage a big restaurant, I can manage a small shop.” Zhou Dong nodded.

“Good. Now that the wheat and rice from all over the country are coming in, you can start now if there’s no problem. The shop over there needs to be repaired, too.”

“Let’s start in the new month since there are only a few days left in this month. It’s also to give some time for my manager to look for someone else to take over my position.”

“It’s great that you know how to be considerate of others. Oh, right. Have you thought it through? Are you sure you want to open a snack shop?” Zhou Ying asked.

“Yes, we have the skills for this, and we don’t need much manpower. The two of us can handle it.”

“Alright, it’s fine as long as you’ve made up your mind.”

“Thank you; I’ll see you soon.” Zhou Dong said goodbye, stood up, and left.

Zhou Ying was relieved when she saw that he was much more efficient than before.

After she left, she and Shizhu went to a restaurant.

Niu Fugui, who was instructing someone on the renovation, saw her and immediately stopped what he was doing. “Mistress, do you have any advice for me?”

“I’m just here to check on the progress.”

“Ah, then I’ll continue with my work.” Niu Fugui nodded and went back to work.

Zhou Ying glanced around the shop and saw there was nothing much that was ready. She walked to the wooden materials and checked them out. After confirming they were from high-quality red pine, she left with Shizhu.

She ordered all kinds of tableware, kitchenware, and so on. This time, she ordered some small iron stoves and the usual copperware.

This way, they could sell barbecued meat in winter and even make hot pots, griddle pots, and other dishes.

She spent the money happily.

On the other hand, the Marquis of Ding’an Residence was in an uproar.

When Mrs. Lu woke up and did not see Magu in the morning, she felt a little uneasy.

She wanted to drink some tea, but her usual maidservant was also gone.

Immediately, she became frustrated and asked someone to look for her in the residence.

The old madam soon received the news that her spy was missing. She used the excuse of concern to ask her servants to help look for her, too.

She could no longer remain calm when she found the spy’s corpse in the dry well. This was the deepest nail she had planted in the concubine’s household.

Thinking of this, she immediately went over personally..
