Capítulo 1036: Chapter 1034: So Many Matters

When Wufu woke up, it was already noon, and her stomach was growling. Opening her eyes, the green canopy of Embroidered Lotus swayed gently.

Turning her head to the side, she saw the window in the room was open, and outside, a cluster of roses was in full bloom, exuding a faint floral scent.

“Miss, you’re awake?” Purple Jade lifted the curtain and saw Wufu sitting on the bed in a daze. She walked over and said, “I was just about to call you. It’s already past noon, and you must have your lunch.”

“Ah Jiu…” Wufu started and then pressed her lips together. Yes, that person had already left, returned to Beiyan.

Originally, it didn’t feel like there was much to miss. Thinking about it now, it’s indeed a bit hard to get used to.

Wufu, feeling listless, said, “Bring some water for washing.”

“Yes.” Purple Jade called a young maid to bring water, and took an ivory comb to brush and knot her hair. Seeing Wufu’s lack of energy, she smiled and said, “I thought the young lady didn’t care.”

“Hmm?”

“When Ninth Master left, you seemed quite carefree. But now, you appear a bit nostalgic.” Purple Jade skillfully braided her hair into a pattern while laughing and talking.

Wufu pointed to her face, “Is this longing?”

“Isn’t it?”

“It shouldn’t be; it’s just a matter of not being used to it. After all, we were always together recently, and now…” Wufu sighed awkwardly, “Habit is truly a frightening thing.”

Purple Jade smiled, “Once the lady is busy, you won’t have time to think about these things. Besides, if you really miss him, there’s always a way to communicate. Didn’t he leave a Courier Hawk?”

Wufu responded with a hum, “You’re right, there’s indeed no time to dwell on those trivial matters.”

Ah Jiu had left, but she still had many things to take care of here — managing the influence in this area, the Silver Mine, and the future expansion and operation of power, which all required considerable effort.

Aside from that, there were also her own troublesome matters.

Wufu furrowed her brows, feeling that the days to come would certainly be overwhelmingly busy.

After washing and having lunch, Wufu held a cup of tea while listening to Purple Jade and Jadeite discuss affairs. In front of her were a piece of paper and a sharply pointed charcoal pencil.

Meanwhile, Purple Jade was holding an account book, reporting to Wufu about what was done at the Cloud Realm.

“According to the lady’s wishes, two estates were purchased, both not large, around a thousand acres, one of which has a small hill. In addition, three shops were bought, one of which has already opened. It’s the cosmetic shop that Jadeite and Ghost Doctor set up, named Zining Pavilion. The shopkeeper is a woman named Fengniang, with one more woman and a young man helping.”

“Why is it called Zining Pavilion?” Wufu found it somewhat strange.

Purple Jade glanced at Jadeite, and Jadeite said, “Miss, it was Ghost Doctor who named it, saying that a woman is truly beautiful when her skin is like congealed fat, so he named it Zining Pavilion. In my opinion, names like Ningxiang Pavilion, Wenfang Zhai, or Zhenli Hall would all be better than this one.”

Wufu uttered an “uh” sound, “This Zining Pavilion is quite unique. Since it’s already open, let’s not change it.” She didn’t mention that she was terrible at naming things.

Jadeite was just saying, naturally, it was up to Wufu to decide.

“Now that Bai Xiaobai has left with Ah Jiu, what about the cosmetic shop?”

“Before the shop opened, I had already thought it was impossible to rely solely on Jadeite and Ghost Doctor to make the cosmetics. So, I purchased a few girls with clean backgrounds to work, all signed with death contracts.” Purple Jade hurriedly added, “The other recipes were also left behind by him, and with Jadeite here, they can be made. However, since it’s just opened, the business can’t compare with already well-known cosmetic shops, so we need to keep working on building the reputation.”

Wufu rubbed her brow and said, “Indeed.” Why are there so many things!
