Gu Chaoyan nodded. She thought for a while and decided to have a discussion with Mr. Zhao. Maybe he had a better answer.
She found a seat and sat down, then she recounted the situation of Mrs. Duke North to Mr. Zhao.
Mr. Zhao was silent for a long while, then he said, “Unless there are drugs that can manipulate people’s behaviors, otherwise there is no such a thing that could control someone’s mind. If her past memories are way too miserable, then we could just erase the memories in her head… that might be a good idea.”
Hearing what Mr. Zhao said, Gu Chaoyan seemed to have some inspiration.
If the old memories were erased, then she would not dwell on the past memory at all.
That was a great idea!
“Do you have any drugs for this?” Gu Chaoyan asked earnestly.
“I need some time for that.” Zhao Yiqiu responded. “I don’t normally make that drug any more, but if it is for Mrs. Duke North, then I will make it for the last time for her sake.”
“Thank you, Mr. Zhao,” Gu Chaoyan said sincerely.
Zhao Yiqiu was not showing any emotions on his face.
Fearing that Mr. Zhao would be disturbed from his work, Gu Chaoyan decided to go back to her own place.
She had just gotten up when she was reminded of one thing. She said, “Mr. Zhao, please be careful around the King.”
Zhao Yiqiu nodded. He showed no expression.
Gu Chaoyan said nothing more. Mr. Zhao should have some ideas of his own. Then she returned to her own courtyard.
On the way home, Gu Chaoyan ran into Manager Song. Only then did she remember what was happening.
She had asked her staff at the Yellow Crane to go home early, so Manager Song must be here to deliver the booklet.
“Elder Miss!” Manager Song was in a very good mood, as he bowed to Gu Chaoyan.
“Manager Song, it is windy outside, let’s talk inside,” Gu Chaoyan said as she asked Manager Song to head towards the hall. There were fireplaces in the hall, so it was warm there.
Manager Song placed the thick booklets on the table and said with a smile, “Please take a look at them, Lady Chaoyan. Yellow Crane is a new restaurant, but the business is doing great. We have earned a profit of 500,000 yuan, and we will make more next year, I believe.”
Gu Chaoyan leafed through the booklets.
The booklets were very thick and the documented numbers were very complicated.
Gu Chaoyan had thought about teaching them documenting the materials in figures, but since tax of the court was involved, and the simple booklets were not approved, her opinions would not be accepted. So she had to drop it. She was going to distribute a simple method of calculation when she had a better opportunity.
Gu Chaoyan had a brief look at the booklets before dropping it. “I will read them later.”
“Manager Song, when you are done with the Yellow Crane errands, move to the mansion. We have a vacant room next to Xiu Jie’s, and when you are here, the time will be bustling!” Gu Chaoyan said.
Manager Song had no family, and he would be feeling very lonely guarding Yellow Crane alone.
Manager Song was startled, then he felt tears in his eyes as he nodded.

At Duke North’s Mansion.
The Tribe Chief of the Zheng Family was there with Zheng Yunfan.
Mrs. Duke North was still asleep, so it was Zheng Chenyi who was receiving them.
Zheng Chenyi had no expression on his face.
The Tribe Chief was with Zheng Yunfan, and he did not think that they were here for anything good.
During the past few years, Tribe Chief must have been bought out by the Eldest Brother of the Zheng Family!
