The next morning all the supplies were loaded in the shop , uncle Luo had some relatives who were good at advertising and marketing , so Sian hired them .
The shop got many people's attention, first it was because of it unique way of arrangements and many things were available there , second it was because it was a shop of governor's daughter now everyone wanted to see how Sian handle it.
Food section, accessories section, daily needs section, pots section were arranged now . Sian wants to add Clothes section, cosmetic section, accessories section with different designs that she will draw but her budget was still tight for that.
Sian was very good in drawing and all , in her world there were different kind of accessories, games , clothes, bags , shoes etc , she wanted to add these things too but not now . She will do that all after she earns more money to arrange their materials.
For now all of her savings was used , like for supplies, employees , furnitures , decoration and daily needs. She had her food in the restaurant many times too. Now all money she had left was two tales .
Her kitchen storage only had rice , some pulses and species. Sian only ate fried vegetables and rice for few day as she renovated her house in an inn.
Every room were arranged properly with a bed or two , table , chair, lamp , some decorations and cupboard for the clothes. There was a large bathing area and all.
Her shop was handled by uncle Luo and his two trusted relatives. Sian hired two employees for her Inn, she also worked their at night and in the morning she work at her shops , like inspecting everything, calculating the budget and all. In the inn, she will host the guest sometimes, serve them food or answer their problem .

Two months has passed away just like this , now was the time for the male lead , female lead and the supporting characters to enter.
Sian had opened her inn two months ago, many people came for the stay, as the inn had a comfortable aura , the room were simple but attractive which attracted many people most of them were rich people who came to the village for some business, some of them were cultivatior and some were governors or nobles.
Sian made quite some money after that.
As for the cultivator , they mostly lives in the mountains or in a very distant place from the village and capital. Many of the cultivator come here to solve mysterious cases of Monster , spirit and ghost that have made their way here out of underworld , here.
The male and female lead also come here to do that. The incident that happened in the fu family spreaded more and many cases like this happened in many houses , many of them had the same similarities, either they were extremely rich or extremely poor .
Sian also had a fear about this now , first she was a daughter of governor and second she is making quite some money now but it's not like she is getting it all for herself.
She have to give money to employees, suppliers , she hired an chief in the inn for the customer food service as she is not very good at making food. Uncle Luo introduced his wife to her when they reopened the shop. As promised Sian visited their house as uncle Luo's wife made them food.
She is called aunty Lu by everyone in the village, so Sian called her that too. Sian liked her cooking very much and suggested her to work for her as a chef for her inn. Aunty Lu who had nothing to do recently, agreed quickly, now Sian didn't have to be worried about going to restaurant anymore, as while aunty Lu cooked the food she was always present there during the lunch and dinner time . Sian also hired some helping hands for aunty Lu to help her out.
Everything was going smoothly now all Sian had to do was to wait for the main and supporting leads to arrive and serve them . And then she will live her life peacefully after that but there was one thing that she forgot ,which she didn't listen from her sister properly, that the original character of Yi Sian was going to die in a fight, in between the plot were the leads had to fight with villain's subordinates. As ,Yi Sian , the original character was kinda slow to react she couldn't escape the fighting area quickly, the villain's subordinate catch her with other villagers and stabbed her to death .
Sian who doesn't have the slightest ideas about this was now drawing sketches of necklaces , bracelets and earrings for her next business theme.
The designs were quite beautiful and simple, the material needed to make them was available here too. They were the type of design that her sister and mother would wear the most, they had flashy ones too but she didn't like this slightest cause to her simple but stylish is what she thinks is best. Though if the customer likes flashy one she will make that too after all, the customer are her top priority in profiting this business.
"Hmm hmm hmm ~ and they are done!" Sian hold her sketches in front of her as she admired them , "Now all I need to do is get the materials and find a jeweller ."
To Sian and many people , market is a place perfect place for this , first she'll buy the material and then she will look for a jeweller.
Sian quickly tidy herself up, pack her small pocket bag and headed out to the market.
.
.
.
.
Market was as crowded as usual, it was evening now many people were hurriedly shopping now, cause these days the night in the village is considered dangerous because of mysterious kidnapping of peoples in their own house .
People were rushing everywhere, many stumbled upon each other, laughters and shouting can be heard , they shopkeeper quickly sold their material to the customer without any waiting.
One by one Sian did her shopping quickly , from the look of the weather she could tell that it was going to rain soon so she covered her material as much as she can. The material she brought were artificial and not the real gems , as she was not that rich to actually get them unless she discovers a mine or something .
.
.
.
The cloud lighting can be heard now , as water droplets started falling one by one . Everyone panicked as they took a shelter, the shopkeeper took their things inside and closed the shop, many people rushed back their home and Sian stuff her bag in her clothes as she run in the direction of her house.
In this rainy and thundery on one will want to get full wet so did Sian, as she ran in the direction she saw a man with a big straw hat , walking slowly as he gets wet in the rain, he was slender and little bit smaller than Sian as he walked the opposite direction of her .
Sian , as she ran , stumbled upon him as her little bit of jewellery material fell out . She quickly crouch down as she picked them up in the crowded and rainy road.
The man whose face was hiden with a big straw hat , crouch down as he picked up the material with her.
Sian full face was also covered with her bangs, as they were wet and sticky it became hard to recognise her face in one look.
The man handed her the stones , "thank you" Sian thanked him , in which he nodded.
"You should quickly get a shelter too sir , otherwise you will get sick like this , ok then bye" She quickly covered her bag again as she ran back home.
The slender man watched her walk away as he turn back he spotted one of the shiny stone that was left behind, he slowly picked that up and stuffed it inside his sleeves Pocket as he , again started walking slowly in the rain .
.
.
.
.
.
.
"Huff-Huff, finally!!~" Sian quickly get inside her house as she headed to her bed room . Before changing her clothes, she quickly check her material, relief, that it was not damaged . " Phew , good thing they are not damaged just wet, gotta warm them quickly."
Sian quickly place the shiny stone in a big cotton ball before she spread it , and let them soak the water. After that, she quickly head to her bathroom for a hot bath.
.
.
.
.
It was raining heavily, no one was in her inn now , all the employees were not there either. Sian close her house doors, as she sat by the window of her room. It was night now ,one can see lighting clearly in the dark sky .
Sian drinks hot tomato soup as she enjoyed the rain , many may like to enjoy rain that is pouring slowly but Sian liked any type of rain whether it's stormy one or light one . Through she cannot sit the whole time by the window in this stormy weather as the rain gets inside the room . Sian quickly finished her soups and stood up to close the window.
As she was about to close them she spotted some people outside her Gate . Her house and inn were connected together as she didn't change the previous settings of her room and only took 5 extra room . Other half of the house of was made into the inn which previously was her father's and concubines room. The only things that seperated her place and the inn was the small lawn in between them. Sian could vividly see the people outside he gate from her window.
Sian quickly grabbed her umbrella and went toward the gate , before opening it she took inquiry of them.
"Ahem, who is this ? , if you are looking for the stay in the inn , they are closed today " Sian asked them .
One of the man said , " Miss we traveled from a very distant place, other inn's are packed with no room after inquiring, this was the only inn that's we didn't check. Even if it's closed can you let us stay , we won't take too much place and we will won't bother you either."
"That's okay but there's no other employee here and the cook is not here too , are you okay with that? " Sian quickly guess that it might be the lead characters but they could also be those kidnapper or monsters .
"We are okay with that miss , we can take care of ourselves, we just need a place to stay in a shelter in this stormy night."
"Okay then can you introduce yourself, a name is ok too, i am caution with stranger as I am .... living alone." Sian expose them that she lived alone despite it's not a good idea but still she needed to check that .
"Miss , my name is Cheng Li, and I am a cultivator that travelled here to solve the cases happening in this area."
After hearing his name Sian quickly moved toward the gate as she opened them, how could she not, this person was no ordinary man . He was Cheng Li the main protagonist of the story, he was strong and kind, always standing for justice. His cultivation level was more then 100 LV. With him the female lead, Xi mie , was just a few levels below , her ability was healing, she was the kindest one of their sect, both beautiful and righteous as she lead her junior together. With them were side characters and support leads , who were also above 50 LV , with their juniors below 40 lv following them like baby chicks.
This was where her main plot started after all, let them in , serve them and let the plot continue before they make their way to their next destination.
Very easy and simple, that's what Sian thought at least but what she didn't know that it was not that easy at all because the people who will stay in her inn were not just the good lead after all .
To be continued....
