Shocking! The entire court was drooling with envy because of me.

"This cat seems to have been beaten up like this. Its injuries are severe. I've already bandaged its leg, but there's nothing more I can do. I can only leave it to fate."

The doctor looked regretful and handed the kitten back to Shen Qing.

That's a euphemistic way of putting it, but it's practically a death sentence for the kitten.

Shen Qing carefully held the kitten, whose meows grew weaker and weaker, and whose small body trembled uncontrollably.

System, was the kitten also obtained through a lucky buff?

Shen Qing couldn't help but ask himself.

【......no】

Upon receiving the system's reply, Shen Qingxin felt a chill run down her spine.

If the kitten is a result of a lucky buff, then it will definitely survive.

But if not, then it really depends on fate.

Shen Qing felt a pang of sadness; this kitten reminded her of the kitten she had kept in modern times.

Her kitten is named Tuanzi, and it's also a big orange cat, but even fatter than this cat.

She was an orphan with no family, and the dumplings were her family.

Now, she has been transported to another world by accident, and she has no idea how Tuanzi is doing.

Shen Qing stroked the kitten's fur, but still couldn't help asking the system:

How can I save it?

Could you give it my good luck buff so it can live?

Since the doctor said it was all a matter of luck and fate, she decided to give all her good luck to it.

As long as it can live.

The system remained silent for a long time before finally speaking:

[Host, are you sure you want to transfer all the remaining good luck buffs to a cat?]

Sure.

Shen Qing did not hesitate at all.

Money is just an external thing; only life is the most precious thing, and a cat's life is just as precious.

[Transferring... Transfer successful.]

The moment the system notification ended, the kitten's meows seemed to grow louder, and its breathing became less weak.

Shen Qing felt a huge weight lifted off her shoulders upon sensing the kitten's condition.

"Little kitty, why don't you come with me from now on? Let's work together to make this restaurant, which is about to open, a huge success. What do you say?"

She walked along, holding the kitten, and said this.

The doctor just told me that this kitten was beaten like this. I guess it's either an ownerless cat or its owner doesn't like it.

Rather than that, I'd rather stay with her.

"If you don't say anything, I'll take that as a yes."

"Let me give you a name, how about Tuanzi?"

"Dumplings~"

"Meow~" the kitten responded softly in Shen Qing's arms.

Shen Qing gently stroked the kitten's back: "If you meow, I'll take that as your agreement."

"I hope that the dumpling in the other world can also meet a new family..."

......

At this moment, Yan Wenli looked miserable in the Yan residence. He couldn't understand why the Grand Secretary would condescend to come to his house.

Moreover, he specifically requested to see Lady Shen.

Madam Shen either goes out to set up her stall every day, or she disappears without a trace.

"Please wait a little longer, Lord Pei. Lady Shen should be back soon."

Pei Yuan said calmly, "Mm."

There were no unnecessary words, yet the sense of oppression was immense.

Yan Wenli was speechless. "Hmm, hmm, hmm, I don't know what he's doing all this 'hmm' all day."

A higher rank can have an absolute advantage. If his official position were higher than Pei Yuan's, he would definitely make Pei Yuan change his habit of only saying "um".

I don't know what they're pretending for.

It's awkward when no one talks, okay?

Glug glug—

goo—

Suddenly, a strange sound rang out.

Yan Wenli frowned, looked left and right, and finally fixed his gaze on Pei Yuan's stomach.

...The anorexic prime minister's stomach rumbled.

Shouldn't he take the initiative to ask?

But the Grand Secretary is anorexic. What if he gets angry when questioned?

Yan Wenli suddenly became conflicted.

Glug glug—

Another sound.

A quick glance revealed that Pei Yuan was expressionless, serious, and completely unashamed.

It was as if the rumbling wasn't coming from my own stomach.

"Lord Pei, we don't know when Madam Shen will be back. Otherwise, I'll send someone to get you some food." Yan Wenli asked through gritted teeth.

Pei Yuan wasn't embarrassed, so what was he afraid of?

Anyway, since Madam Shen is at home, she is now his trump card, and he is not afraid of Pei Yuan at all!

"Need not."

"I only eat snail rice noodles."

In a concise and to-the-point manner, Pei Yuan's tone carried a clear hint of anticipation when he mentioned the three words "snail rice noodles."

Yan Wenli's lips twitched.

"You don't know Madam Shen's rules, do you? No matter how delicious something is, if Madam Shen decides not to sell it, then it's really not for sale."

"You won't be able to get snail rice noodles."

"It's like I'll never be able to eat spicy snacks again!"

Speaking of which, he really misses spicy strips. Spicy strips seem to be different from other foods; he thinks about them and wants to eat them every few days.

"Shut up." Pei Yuan's voice was laced with anger.

The phrase "can't eat snail rice noodles" is practically the most vicious curse.

He didn't believe it.

If you spend enough money, is there anything in this world you can't eat?

Yan Wenli immediately shut his mouth.

Well, he was still a little scared; he was used to being in the imperial court...

"She's back! She's back! Madam Shen is back!!" Suddenly, an eager voice came from outside the door.

The next moment, Pei Yuan stood up from his chair, his eyes full of anticipation.

Luosifen (river snail rice noodles), his Luosifen!

Upon seeing this, Yan Wenli quickly said, "Quickly, quickly, invite Madam Shen to the main hall!!"

"Please have a seat, Madam Shen will be here shortly."

Before long, Shen Qingcai stepped into the main hall with a puzzled look on his face.

She had intended to wipe the dirt off Tuanzi, but as soon as she returned, the servants hurriedly dragged her here.

"What happened?"

Before Yan Wenli could even speak, Pei Yuan jumped up and walked over to Shen Qing in a few steps.

"Madam Shen, I came here specifically to see you."

"Could you sell me a bowl of your snail rice noodles every day? I'll pay whatever it costs."

Upon hearing this, Shen Qing exclaimed, "Good heavens, so it's a customer who's come looking for us!"

She waved her hand and said, "I'm not selling anymore. I won't be selling snail rice noodles anymore. I'm sorry."

"Is it because you don't have enough money? No matter how much money you need, just ask and I'll give it to you." Pei Yuan frowned.

"It's not about money. I'm not selling snail rice noodles anymore, and I'm going back to Ping'an County soon."

Shen Qing said calmly that everything in the capital was now over and she should go back to complete her tasks at the restaurant.

Moreover, Ping'an County is practically her home, and she feels comfortable staying there.

"What? Back to Ping'an County??" Yan Wenli, standing next to him, widened his eyes and couldn't help but shout.

He could hardly believe his ears.

Pei Yuan frowned even more: "How much silver do you need to continue selling snail rice noodles in the capital? If it's really not possible, bring your whole family to the capital and settle down here. I'll pay for it. Feel free to make any requests you have!"
