"The young lady hasn't come out yet?" Yinghe asked Dujuan with some concern.
Du Juan shook her head and said, "The young lady has been in the room for an hour, and it's getting dark..."
"Dujuan, go call the young lady out, it's time for dinner!"
"I cooked the little lady's favorite dish, the Eight Treasure Gourd Duck!"
Du Juan nodded and went to call Tang Chuyao for dinner.
After knocking on the door and hearing the lady's voice, Dujuan walked in.
A strong herbal aroma wafted into the air, and Tang Chuyao was carefully pouring some medicinal powder into a small porcelain bottle.
Behind her were rows of shelves, which were already filled with various small porcelain bottles and boxes.
Each small porcelain bottle has a corresponding label. Although Du Juan can't read, she always thinks that Miss's handwriting is very beautiful.
"Miss, it's time for dinner. My mother cooked your favorite eight-treasure duck!"
Tang Chuyao had just finished filling the medicine powder, put the stopper in place, picked up a pen, wrote a few words, and then pasted it on the small porcelain bottle.
He put it on the shelf behind him, then picked up a few boxes and handed one to Du Juan, "Du Juan, this is the beauty cream I developed, please help me try it."
"Okay, miss." Du Juan took it happily. The miss gave her a moisturizer a few days ago. After trying it, she felt that the effect was particularly good. Her face was often dry and flaky, but after using the moisturizer given by the miss, it no longer flaked and itched!
Tang Chuyao took Dujuan out of the room, locked the door, and then returned to her own room. Yinghe had already prepared dinner and Senior Sister Xiaoyu had already started drinking soup.
Tang Chuyao looked at the sky outside the window and said to Yinghe, "Aunt Yinghe, you don't have to wait for me for dinner later, you can eat first!"
Yinghe hesitated for a moment, and then Tang Chuyao stuffed a few boxes of things into her mouth. "These are hand protectors. Don't Aunt Yinghe's hands often peel and crack? These should help alleviate the problem."
"Thank you very much, young lady!" Yinghe took it with a smile.
She raised her hand and threw a small porcelain bottle to Xiaoyu, "Sister, this is a whitening cream. You are often exposed to the sun. Using this can not only whiten your skin, but also make you less afraid of the sun!"
Xiaoyu nodded and took it with a smile.
Ying He felt somewhat relieved and somewhat distressed for Tang Chuyao, "Young Miss, please don't work so hard in the future!"
Tang Chuyao sat down, took a sip of the soup bowl, took a bite of the pancake, and said vaguely, "Aunt, don't worry. I'm an adult. I know my own body!"
Yinghe didn't say anything else. She looked at Tang Chuyao eating with a doting look on her face. She must be hungry because she didn't eat her lunch properly!
After dinner, Tang Chuyao was holding a book in her hand, and Du Juan was chattering beside her, telling her the gossip she had heard that day.
"Miss, you didn't see how miserable Aunt Mei was today!"
"I heard that Aunt Lan from the new mansion has been with the master for many years, and the second young master is already 18 years old!"
Tang Chuyao didn't care about what happened in Tang Youze's backyard, but was a little surprised. This meant that Tang Youze had been keeping a mistress outside six years ago!
Is it such a coincidence?
Six years ago, her grandmother sent her a letter, telling her that if she encountered any problems in the future, she could go to No. 3 Furong Lane, Xuanwu Street to find a woman named Xu Rulan.
I lost my memory because I fell on my head, and I don’t remember this at all!
I just remembered it when Dujuan mentioned it today.
"Where did father raise Aunt Lan?" Tang Chuyao raised her head and asked.
Du Juan thought for a moment and recalled, "It seems to be No. 3 on Xuanwu Street."
Tang Chuyao understood clearly, it was indeed her grandmother's person!
But six years have passed since the incident and she has not contacted Aunt Lan, nor does she know what Aunt Lan's current situation is.
"Miss, Aunt Lan is here." Yinghe came in and said.
Tang Chuyao raised her eyebrows. Speak of the devil!
I saw a woman in a pink dress walking in. The hem of her dress was embroidered with delicate orchid patterns, which made her look even more beautiful.
Her satin-like black hair was tied up with a small jade hairpin in it, sparkling with a warm luster.
There was a faint slap mark and several scratches on her face.
She has a graceful figure, light steps, and her every move reveals her gentleness and kindness.
Tang Chuyao looked at Aunt Lan calmly, and Aunt Lan was also observing Tang Chuyao quietly.
She was wearing a plain white long dress with elegant floral embroidery on the hem and a light purple ribbon tied around her waist, which added a touch of elegance.
She sat there quietly, holding a book in her hands, like a peaceful painting.
Her true face cannot be seen clearly because of the veil, but her eyes are clear and bright!
Xu Rulan's eyes suddenly became moist. They looked so alike!
Especially the eyebrows and eyes, Miss 놌 is exactly the same!
"My humble servant greets the young lady!" Xu Rulan knelt down towards Tang Chuyao.
Tang Chuyao looked surprised, "Auntie Lan, why do you call me that?"
Xu Rulan raised her eyes and looked at Tang Chuyao, her eyes were full of sadness, as if she was recalling something.
"Young lady, your mother saved my life!"
"When my hometown was hit by famine, Miss Qiao passed by and saved me. Miss Qiao did not ask for anything in return, but I wanted to repay Miss Qiao for saving my life."
"A few years later, I was sold to the capital city of Wudinghou Mansion as a maid. Wudinghou was not only a corrupt official, but also a lecher!"
"I couldn't stand his harassment any more, and was about to be caught when I tried to escape, but was saved by an old lady from the General's Mansion."
Xu Rulan paused for a moment, wiped the tears from her face and continued, "Maybe it was God's arrangement that made this servant meet the young lady!"
"The old man helped me redeem myself from the Wuding Marquis's Mansion, but the General's Mansion will soon be heading to the northern border, so they can't arrange a place for me to go..."
"Yes, Miss. She gave me a sum of money and let me buy a house in the capital so that I could have a place to stay..."
"I have always been concerned about the young lady. When the young lady left, I was deeply saddened. Is Tang Youze the young lady's beloved man?"
"I secretly observed Tang Youze and found that he often interacted with the Liao people."
Great Liao?
The Liao Dynasty and the Qi Dynasty are evenly matched. Although the two countries have reached a consensus on peace, once the power is unbalanced, war will soon break out!
Last time, Tang Chuyao didn't remember any connection between the Liao Dynasty and Tang Youze...
