My restaurant connects to the demon realm, and I've become incredibly wealthy!

Chapter 108 Aunt Panning

Pan Ning touched his face; his smooth skin was gone, replaced by many wrinkles from the passage of time.

"Being a little older is fine, as long as I can still live, thank you, young lady."

She is now as light as when she was young, only her face looks a bit older.

She can live for another ten years, that's enough.

"Madam, there's no need to thank me. It was the Prince who gave me the consultation fee," Bai Hu Yaoyao said truthfully.

She wouldn't have come if it weren't for her senior sister's desire for the 10,000 taels of gold for the consultation fee!

Pan Ning looked at Bai Hu Yaoyao with affection. This girl really had a personality and spoke her mind directly. She was a good match for his son.

I just don't know if her silly son likes this girl.

She needs to thoroughly investigate her son's background.

The more she looked at this girl, the more she liked her.

"Miss, what's your name?" Pan Ning felt that the girl looked familiar.

It gave her a familiar feeling, especially those eyes.

"White Fox Yaoyao." White Fox Yaoyao took out a bottle of pills from her pocket.

“Madam, you must take this pill every day. When you run out, have the Prince come to me for more. This pill can prevent your body from aging too quickly.”

Aging too quickly is equivalent to a decline in bodily functions. Since lifespan is already short, it is easy to become sickly.

With this elixir to nourish her, her body will feel better.

"Okay! Thank you, Miss Yaoyao."

"May I ask who the young lady's mother is?"

Pan Ning finally remembered why the girl's eyes looked familiar.

Her eyes were exactly the same as her close friend, Sister Xu's.

Sister Xu has a lost daughter. If she were still alive, she would be about this age.

That girl's name was also Yaoyao.

"My mother's surname is Xu, and her given name is Yuan."

Xu Yuan is her mother's real name.

Pan Ning excitedly grabbed her hand, "Is your mother really named Xu Yuan?"

Sister Xu's daughter, she is Sister Xu's daughter!
Years ago, when Sister Xu was still alive, she sent her a letter asking her to help her find her daughter in the Northwest.

The place where Sister Xu lost her daughter was in this northwest region, and she searched for many years without finding her.

After Sister Xu passed away, she felt very guilty because she couldn't help Sister Xu in any way.

Now that she can see her daughter, she has no regrets in her life.

Bai Hu Yaoyao nodded. "Does Madam know my mother?"

Pan Ning nodded repeatedly, tears welling in her eyes. "Of course I know her! Your mother and I grew up together, she's my only close friend in this life. I even held you when you were born."

"It's such a pity that your mother, such a good person, died young, marrying such a scoundrel! Now that you're finally back, do you even think about going back to the Marquis's mansion?"

She didn't want the child to go back to the Marquis's mansion; that mansion was a place that devoured people without spitting out their bones.

It would be better for her to stay in the Zhenbei Prince's Mansion, where no one would dare to bully her.

She was engaged to Li'er back then!
Yao Yao was betrothed to her mother when she was just born. I wonder if Yao Yao knows about this?

"Are you... Aunt Pan Ning?" Bai Hu Yaoyao asked tentatively.

In the message Shengshi sent her, there was a close friend of her mother, a woman from the reclusive Pangu clan.

This Aunt Pan Ning is quite capable; she once followed the Prince of Zhenbei in battle, proving herself to be a woman who is just as capable as any man.

The two were a loving couple, and the Prince of Zhenbei only had her as his wife throughout his life.

It turned out that the beautiful woman in front of me was Aunt Pan Ning.

"You actually know me?" Pan Ning was somewhat surprised.

"It was a message my older brother gave me a while ago. I only reunited with him a few months ago," Bai Hu Yaoyao explained. After learning her identity, Bai Hu Yaoyao felt a sense of closeness to her.

She had never met her mother in this life, nor in her previous life, but she felt a motherly closeness to this kind and amiable Aunt Pan Ning.

Pan Ning patted her hand affectionately, "It's not surprising that your older brother gave you the news. Your older brother is a good person, but he has been sickly these past few years. I have also been unwell these past few years and have been unable to return to the capital, so I don't know what your older brother is like now."

"How is he doing lately? I heard that your second brother is no better than your father."

Since her husband died, she had lost all will to live, her health deteriorated day by day, and she was unable to return to Kyoto.

Naturally, no one knew how Sheng Shi was doing.

If Li'er hadn't been still a child, she would have passed away ten years ago along with her husband.

Now that Sister Xu's child has been found, she would have no regrets even if she only had ten years left to live.

"My eldest brother's health is much better now; I've healed him. As for my second brother and the Marquis's mansion, I have no intention of acknowledging them or returning to the mansion."

In Kyoto, if you throw a brick down there, you can hit a whole group of powerful and wealthy people.

That place was a hotbed of trouble and a melting pot of iniquity; she didn't want to go back.

She lives a carefree life in the northwest, far from Kyoto.

"Good! It's good that you've come to your senses! There's nothing to miss about that Marquis's mansion. Come visit the Prince of Zhenbei's mansion more often when you have time, and see this old woman."

Pan Ning liked the child more and more the more he looked at him.

If she could visit the Prince's residence more often, she might be able to develop feelings for Li'er, and then she would have a daughter-in-law.

"Aunt Pan Ning, you're not old at all."

Now that he knows about Aunt Pan Ning's relationship with his mother, he will definitely not let her die so soon.

I'll ask Dong Lijue when I get back if there's any way to extend her life by another ten years.

"Alright, alright! I'm not old! I'm not old! Yao Yao knows how to talk." Pan Ning was amused and laughed heartily.

My body, which had been sick for decades, suddenly felt much better.

Quan Lihen was outside the door when he heard laughter coming from inside the room, and he found it unbelievable.

My mother has never smiled so happily since my father passed away.

This girl really has a knack for making her mother happy.

It seems he should spend more time with this girl in the future and have her keep his mother company.

The door opened, and Bai Hu Yaoyao's smile faded. "Your Highness may go in to see the Madam now. If you have any further questions, please come to me. Send the consultation fee to the affordable grain store; someone will collect it. Farewell!"

"Thank you, young lady." Quan Lihen personally saw her out.

After watching the carriage drive away, he returned to his mother's room.

The moment he saw his mother's face, even a grown man couldn't help but shed tears.

"Mother...? How come you've aged so much?" Quan Lihen held his mother's hand tightly, unwilling to let go.

"Why are you crying? I'm lucky to be alive! Being old is fine! Nobody stays young forever!" Pan Ning looked at his son with amusement.

How old are you? You're still crying all the time.

“Mother! You’re not old. No matter what you look like, you’ll always be the most beautiful woman on the entire continent,” Quan Lihen comforted his mother.

"Good, good, good! Mother is not old at all! Li'er, do you know that Yaoyao is actually your Aunt Xu's lost daughter?"

"You didn't know, did you? She's still engaged to you."

"You're much older than that girl, so you'd better treat her well!" Pan Ning couldn't stop smiling at the thought of having a daughter-in-law.

After recovering from her illness, she met Sister Xu's daughter, making it the happiest day of her life in many years.

"what?"

Quan Lihen was completely bewildered.

That concludes today's update.
