The maidservant beside Madam Wang came to the reception room and said, "Young master, young lady, Miss Liu, lunch is ready. Master and Madam invite you."

Wang Zhilan stood up, took Liu Siyue's hand, and said, "Let's go eat."

Today's meal was very lavish, a whole table full. To Liu Siyue's surprise, their family actually used a rotating dining table. Master Xie is really something, his business has already expanded to the prefectural city.

"Brother Wang, where did you buy this table?"

"It's located in the prefectural city and is run by people from Lingshui County. These tables are quite rare and excellent. All the big restaurants in the prefectural city use these tables. They're very convenient. If you want something, just turn the turntable and you can get the food you want to eat right in front of you. You don't need anyone else to serve you the food."

"Big brother, you don't know this, do you? This table came from Sister Liu's workshop."

"What? You make furniture too?"

Liu Siyue smiled slightly, "Yes, can't I make furniture, Brother Wang?"

"Yes, you are amazing! I'm just so surprised. How can a girl like you have so many wonderful ideas? You come up with one idea after another."

"Brother, are you looking down on us women?" Wang Zhilan glanced at her brother. "Does it mean that only men can do this, but we women can't? If it weren't for the many restrictions imposed on us women in this era, what we women have accomplished is no less than what you men have achieved."

Wang Qing'an looked at his younger sister with a smile, "Wow, it's really rare to hear such words from your sister. It seems that April has had a significant impact on Zhilan."

Look, since Zhi'er met you, her personality has changed. She's become more diligent, wiser, and her words have more depth.

"Brother Wang, you're wrong. Sister Wang wasn't influenced by me. She's just naturally smart. She was just too caught up in it before to realize it. Once she figured it out, she can do everything smoothly and skillfully."

The family sat together, and Wang Qing'an and Pei Wanyu invited everyone to eat. The meal was enjoyed by all. Liu Siyue expressed her gratitude to the Wang family, saying, "I'm sorry to have troubled you here. Thank you, Uncle and Aunt, Brother Wang, Sister-in-law, and Sister Wang, for taking care of Ruxue."

"You're being too polite. Ruxue is a very well-behaved child. She's obedient, smart, and hardworking. She'll definitely be a successful businesswoman in the future."

"Rest assured, here, I guarantee that Miss Ruxue will not suffer any injustice."

The meal was a great success, and afterwards, Madam Wang took Liu Siyue's hand and led her to another flower hall. Accompanying them were only the female members of the family: Wang Zhilan, Liu Ruxue, Liu Siyue, and Pei Wanyu.

Madam Wang smiled and said, "I like April more and more. It's not right for you to stay single forever. You should find a suitable person to marry. It will be good for you and your child."

"Auntie, I don't want to get married yet. I just want to earn more money, raise my child, and make my family happy."

"April, don't rush to refuse. Even if you get married, it won't affect your ability to make money!"

My nephew is a handsome and loyal man. He has never remarried since his wife died in childbirth. He is my sister's only son, and his marriage has been a source of great worry for my sister.

When I visited your village last time, I felt you two were a good match the moment I saw you. My sister's family also runs a business, which is spread throughout Dasheng Dynasty, and they are quite wealthy.

If you like doing business, you can do it after you get married. Your younger sister is getting older, so you can take charge of the household as soon as you marry in, just like Wanyu.

My sister has a good temperament and will definitely make a good mother-in-law; she would never mistreat you.

Liu Siyue found it amusing. Do older people all like to play matchmaker? Her own life is still far from settled, and she's already being set up. She doesn't even know if the person is bald or pockmarked, but he's a handsome and talented man.

Wang Zhilan carefully observed Liu Siyue's expression, afraid that she was already unhappy and angry, which would make everyone unhappy. Her mother had mentioned it before, but she directly rejected it. Unexpectedly, she didn't even consult her today and took it upon herself to tell Siyue. If Siyue got angry and thought it was her idea, and they became estranged again, what should she do? She cared a lot about Siyue as her sister.

Liu Siyue's face was expressionless, her expression indifferent, revealing neither joy nor anger.

Then Madam Wang continued, "Since you've come all this way to the prefectural city in April, let's seize the day and I'll call my nephew over so you can meet him."

I mentioned you to him before, and he was quite pleased. He also loves children and will definitely treat your daughter as his own, spoiling her like a princess.

She couldn't handle Madam Wang's enthusiasm and didn't want to embarrass her in public, so she looked at Wang Zhilan, who nodded to her, indicating that she should agree.

Liu Siyue nodded in agreement, and Madam Wang was overjoyed. "Good, good, I'll send someone to invite my sister and nephew over right away. The two families live not far apart."

Wang Zhilan stood up. "Mother, sister-in-law, please sit down first. I'll be right back."

Liu Siyue quickly stood up. "Auntie, sister-in-law, please excuse me. I need to use the restroom. Sister Wang, please wait for me."

From the beginning of the conversation, Pei Wanyu could tell that Liu Siyue did not want to get married at this time, but only reluctantly agreed because of her elders. She hoped that if her aunt and cousin came and rejected her after the matchmaking, they would not cause any trouble and damage her relationship with Siyue.

Liu Siyue followed Wang Zhilan to her courtyard. "Sister Liu, just listen to what my mother says, don't feel burdened. My cousin isn't a bad person, but he lacks a manly spirit and is a bit effeminate. I don't like that type."

Just take a look. If you like one, keep it for yourself. If you don't, just refuse. Don't worry about my mother's feelings or drag things out. If my cousin takes a liking to you and you keep pestering him, it'll be troublesome.

If any disagreements arise, you can't afford to become distant with me.

"Sister Wang, what are you thinking? Do you think I'm the kind of person who can't distinguish right from wrong and makes baseless accusations?"

"Actually, my mother brought this up when we visited your house last time, but I refused. I didn't expect her to remember it."

"It's natural for elders to worry about the younger generation. My mother used to bring up the topic of my marriage, but I always brushed it off. To be precise, I have no plans to get married right now, and whether I will in the future is anyone's guess."

"Okay, whatever decision you make, I will support you."

If you ever run out of money, just come to your sister, and she'll give you some.

"Okay, then I won't be polite."

Sister Wang, if things get unstable in the prefectural city, you should hurry back to the county town. If that doesn't work, come to my house, okay?

"I understand. I'm content with what you said, sister. I just don't know if this year's college entrance exam will go smoothly."

Liu Siyue didn't say much else, but Wang Zhilan told her about the situation of her shops in the prefectural city. Liu Siyue listened and nodded, "Sister Wang is getting more and more amazing. You've opened two pastry shops in the prefectural city. You're moving very quickly."

"There are so many people in the city, and even more wealthy people. One shop simply can't keep up with the demand. So I opened another shop on another street. Ruxue is really capable, so I entrusted the new shop to her and assigned two people to assist her. This girl has a lot of drive. She works from dawn till dusk every day. According to our plan, she finished five or six days ahead of schedule. She did a great job."

Later, she went to our restaurant to learn how to manage it from the manager. The manager spoke highly of her; indeed, Ruxue really has a knack for business.
