@Sabrina spellmen well, if you find one, let me know. The only WN I could remember where the imperial family isn't actual garbage and is actually decent folks is Fields of Gold.
@MiyaMira I'm not familiar with her other works, so I can't say.
Anyway, I believe the WN is done. It had been done for quite some time now actually. I just didn't realize that it was over because the ending was so abrupt. MC dies from old age/exhaustion and found herself back in the modern age on a hospital bed. She heard a voice beckoning for her, as the WN ends as she was about to open her eyes. That's it. OMGWTFBBQ.

Yes, when MC opened up their restaurant in the city later, she kept trying to teach the little sister how to cook. Her mind wasn't into it though. The only reason why she asked to be taught management and accounting was so that she could be at the front desk and serve the customers instead. This wasn't really due to laziness, but because WHO like to frequent the restaurant. MC and mother-in-law sometimes find her away from the front desk making long small talk with said "special customer."
She eventually found out that the scholar was crushing on MC and was jealous and somewhat resentful, but it was never to the level where she was harboring malicious thoughts and scheming terrible things. I don't think we have to worry about that? Maybe? From what I've read, scholar Wong was deeply in love with his new wife anyway. Anyway, the little sister voiced her discontent and said something along the line of "what is so good about MC anyway?" blah blah blah, to which her mother told her to know her place. She told her that the good life that they were living right now was due to MC, and without her they would still be living a miserable life back in the village.
About scholar Wong (OK, I know nobody's asking, but humor me). After several failed attempt to court and woo MC, the clock to scholar Wong's bachelordoom finally ran out. His family made had arranged for a marriage with a noble girl, and it wasn't something that he could easily refuse. He went to MC's restaurant telling MC about his situation, hoping that he would get a reaction out of MC. I think he was trying to gauge whether the MC has any feelings no matter how little towards him, and if she did, perhaps he still got a chance. He was utterly crushed by MC's complete perfunctory response. It was implied that after getting married, he pretty much engaged in hedonistic pleasures with his wife and neglected his studies. He really wasn't mentioned much from then onward. The only time he got mentioned was when the writer's doing a story about the little sister.

Don't give up. It is later implied that nothing happened. baoshan got drunk, and the girl made him think that they had sex. I LOLed at this revelation. Didn't this exact trope just happened earlier with Baoshan's sister and the scholar? The girl you're talking about eventually become friends with MC later on.
Anyway, the raws is up to chap 340 now. Apparently MC is the illicit daughter between the "national teacher" (that's what the MTL call him, imperial tutor, perhaps?) and the queen dowager. Dad is a real asshole and despite knowing MC is his lost daughter, continues to use her as a disposable pawn. Mom is also a monster, but yearns for her long missing daughter. Originally thought MC was her daughter since she looks similar to her, but got convinced that she wasn't by the imperial tutor. He doesn't want her alive because he deems her a liability.
The queen dowager had MC taken hostage to serve her out of jealousy because she thinks imperial tutor kept MC because MC reminds him of a younger version of the queen dowager. That wasn't really the case. She was kept alive to keep Baoshan on leash. Queen dowager keeps finding trouble for MC and eventually had her flogged for talking back. Just as the MC lie dying on her bed, and when the queen dowager was pondering to cut MC's arm back to Baoshan just to see how terrible Baoshan's might look, she accidentally saw the birthmark on MC's back. That's when she realized MC is her daughter. Dun dun dun.
Please excuse the grammar. Was typing on a phone.
