The maid simply smiled and nodded, "That's right, it's been so long since Madam has had such a good night's sleep."
"I called you from outside just now, but you didn't answer. I was worried something had happened to you, but I didn't expect you to still be asleep."
She had thought that a good night's sleep last night was already a rare treat, but to her surprise, the lady actually slept in late, which surprised and delighted her.
Madam Dong also smiled, and her pale complexion, which had been caused by prolonged sleep deprivation, seemed to have improved somewhat.
She simply said, "It's all thanks to the fragrance pills. You can have Feiyan go to Baoxiangfang and buy some more of these 'sorrow-reducing' pills later. I'll use them more often these next few days and see if I can try going out for a walk in a few days."
In recent years, she has rarely gone out because of headaches, fearing that the cold wind will worsen her headaches. If the "Sorrow-Cutting" technique can really cure her headaches, she won't have to stay indoors all day anymore.
The maidservant simply responded.

When Chen Feiyan went to Baoxiangfang, Jiang Yimian was in the cosmetics workshop behind Baoxiangfang.
These past few days at the estate, she's not only been busy making lipsticks, but also improving some face cream recipes. This trip is a good opportunity for the people at Baoxiangfang to try them out.
Because she was worried about things at the estate, she sent Liu'er back first.
Aunt Yun looked at the prescription in her hand with a mixture of surprise, curiosity, and trepidation: "Yimian, why are there so many medicinal herbs in this prescription? Does it have some kind of medicinal effect like Jianchou?"
This was the first time she had ever seen face cream with added medicinal herbs. The recipe had also been greatly modified, leaving her unsure whether the face cream she made could compare to the previous ones.
The effectiveness of the incense pills is still uncertain, and the face cream has also been changed, which makes her a little worried.
Jiang Yimian noticed Aunt Yun's hesitation and reassured her, "Some of the herbs in it can whiten the skin and have skincare benefits. The face cream made with this formula will be much better than before, so you don't need to worry."
If you can't do it, I won't force you.
Yunniang quickly waved her hand and explained, "Yimian, that's not what I meant. I'm just worried that some people might not be able to accept the new face cream, or that it might not be smooth enough."
Facial cream is different from lip balm. You can't really distinguish it by color. You can only tell the quality by how fine it is. She was afraid that if she added too many herbs, the facial cream wouldn't be fine enough. Even if it had a whitening effect, those ladies wouldn't give it a second glance.
Jiang Yimian nodded in understanding and said with a smile, "Don't worry, Aunt Yun. The face cream in my recipe is not in powder form, but in cream form, so it won't have a strong grainy texture."
Aunt Yun was taken aback, then she was relieved. "That's good. I was worried that the herbs wouldn't be suitable to add. I was overthinking it."
She said that Yi Mian was so smart, how could she not have thought of this problem?
She was only curious about what the newly made face cream would look like.
Just then, Ashu suddenly ran in from outside, saying anxiously, "Shopkeeper, Aunt Yun, something bad has happened, Miss Chen is here."
She noticed that the other party seemed a bit angry, and she wondered what had happened. Could it be that Sister Xiaochun's incense pills were not good, and Miss Chen had come to confront them?
Thinking of this, she whispered, "I wonder if there was something wrong with the things I sold to Miss Chen yesterday. She didn't seem very happy."
Hearing this, Aunt Yun was also a little uneasy. Could there really be something wrong with the incense pill? If it didn't work, that would be fine, but if it made Madam Dong's condition worse, that would be a big problem.
She walked out with some unease, and when she looked at Jiang Yimian, she saw that she looked calm and showed no fear whatsoever, which only made her more worried.
The Chen family is the only ones who can still support Baoxiangfang's business. If we offend them, Baoxiangfang will have no choice but to close down.
Thinking this, as soon as she entered the lobby, she hurriedly went to greet her, smiling and saying, "Miss Chen, why did you come so early today? Is something wrong?"
Chen Feiyan nodded with burning eyes and said, "Yes, that fragrant pill."
Aunt Yun's heart skipped a beat. Just as she was about to explain, Chen Feiyan bypassed her, grabbed Jiang Yimian's hand, and excitedly asked, "Manager Jiang, do you still have the incense pills you gave me yesterday?"
She had heard from her mother that her mother slept very well last night because of the fragrant pills; it was the first time she had a good night's sleep since suffering from headaches for several years.
Jiang Yimian nodded.
Chen Feiyan's eyes shone even brighter. She already had big, double-lidded eyes, and now they had an extra sparkle, making her look extremely lively.
She just smiled and said, "The headache-relief product really works. My mother tried it yesterday, and not only did her headaches improve, but her sleep also got better."
I came here this time specifically to buy more.
Although she couldn't fully understand the suffering her mother had endured from headaches over the past few years, she had seen it all and knew that insomnia was a very painful thing.
She felt uncomfortable even on an occasional day, let alone suffering from insomnia every day.
Now that there's a way to make her mother feel better, she's naturally happy.
Upon hearing this, not only Aunt Yun was stunned, but even Ashu was frozen in place, staring blankly as Jiang Yimian took out several more boxes of incense pills from the counter before reacting and asking incredulously, "Miss Chen, you're saying these incense pills can really cure headaches?"
Actually, she didn't believe it until today, because she had never heard of the fragrant pills having any medicinal effect.
In the capital, incense balls were mostly used to scent clothes, remove odors, and leave a pleasant fragrance on the body. Some ladies who enjoyed elegance and cultivating their taste would light incense in their rooms to make themselves feel happy.
This is something that has never been done before in order to ensure the efficacy of the medicine.
Chen Feiyan nodded and said, "How could that be false? My mother has been suffering from headaches for many years, but she only used the incense pills once yesterday and the headaches were relieved."
