It was exactly because of that grudge that Miss Yuan had pestered Second Madam until she agreed to let her attend the restaurant’s opening together with the other young ladies of their family.
Madam Rong had been intending to come along as well, but an unexpected incident in their estate had held her back. As the lady-in-charge of the Ying Estate, she had to attend to the matter. Madam Rong had personally escorted the three ladies to the estate’s entrance and instructed the eldest amongst them, Miss Su, to take care of her younger sisters before sending off their carriage.
The three sisters had arrived late. It was already 12pm by now. The manservants and maidservants in charge of welcoming the guests had already returned to the restaurant by now. Chu Lian had also thought that House Ying wouldn’t be sending any representatives by this hour.
Without any escort at all, House Ying’s carriage went straight to Guilin Restaurant’s main entrance.
Before they got off the carriage, one of the retainers outside leaned in close to the carriage and reported at a low volume, “Misses, Guilin Restaurant’s entrance has been blocked.”
The disdain on Miss Yuan’s face was wiped clean. She lifted the curtains and looked towards Guilin Restaurant’s plain-looking entrance.
The entrance of Guilin Restaurant was swarming with people. There was even a long queue outside, filling the already narrow alley.
How could this be possible! How could a restaurant in such a desolate area have this many customers?!
Miss Su also found it strange. She instructed the retainer to ask around Guilin Restaurant’s main entrance.
In a moment’s time, that retainer returned.
He carried a doubtful and baffled expression as he reported, “Replying to Fifth Miss, all these people are here to eat at Guilin Restaurant.”
“What!” Miss Yuan couldn’t hold back her shout. Her sudden fuss over something so trivial earned her a glare from Miss Su.
Miss Su paused a while in thought before taking out two fine invitations from her sleeve and passing them to the retainer. “Give these two invitations to Guilin Restaurant’s manager. Tell him that we’re here to meet Honoured Lady Jinyi.”
The retainer acknowledged the order and left.
Not too long later, the retainer led Manager Qin and a wise-looking senior servant over to the carriage.
Manager Qin personally ordered someone to bring House Ying’s carriage over to the rear entrance. Once they entered the inner court meant for female guests, Senior Servant Zhong took over and led them to a small court within.
Senior Servant Zhong instructed the maidservants standing by in the courtyard to attend to House Ying’s ladies and invited them to sit down. After doing so, she then stood by the side and respectfully said, “Misses, please wait a moment. Our Third Young Madam will be arriving shortly.”
Miss Fu cast a measuring gaze over Senior Servant Zhong. Her eyes flickered, but she didn’t speak in the end.
Miss Su thanked Senior Servant Zhong.
