If one house didn't have red and blue flowers, it could be considered a coincidence, but every house they visited today had the same result.
It's not even just the red and blue flowers. All the shops have the same answer for anything Sang Luan needs to make lip balm.
Yupo opened her lips slightly and wanted to say something, but Sang Luan gave her a look and Yupo had to shut up silently.
Soon, the two of them slowly walked out of the shop.
Sang Luan looked at the long street ahead and let out a long sigh.
People were coming and going around, shouting one after another.
Yupo glanced at Sang Luan casually. Seeing that Sang Luan seemed to be in a bad mood, she couldn't help but hold Sang Luan's arm, her face full of worry, "Miss, are you okay?"
Sang Luan waved her hand and looked straight ahead, "It's okay, let's go back first."
She turned sideways and slightly raised her head to glance at the shop behind her, a strange light flashing in her deep eyes.
Yupo couldn't help but ask, "Miss, if we can't buy the raw materials, what will you do with the remaining lip balm?"
Sang Luan: "Let's go back and take a look at the situation. If it works today, we'll continue the production as normal. If not, we'll return double the money they paid."
It was obvious that someone was deliberately preventing her from buying the red and blue flowers.
Soon, Sang Luan brought the jade amber back to the Prime Minister's Mansion.
Liu Wenxian was still in the front hall, looking relaxed and contented.
Sang Luan raised her eyelids slightly, and when she looked closely, she could see a faint smile on Liu Wenxian's lips.
Seeing this scene, the thought in my mind was instantly confirmed.
Sang Luan just nodded slightly to Liu Wenxian and went straight back to Furong Garden.
Only after Sang Luan disappeared from view did Liu Wenxian stretch her neck to look in the direction Sang Luan had left.
"Did she not arrive or didn't buy it?" Liu Wenxian asked in a puzzled tone.
Jin Rui followed her gaze and replied respectfully, "They probably didn't buy anything. Both of them came back empty-handed."
Liu Wenxian frowned slightly and murmured softly, "Then why doesn't she look sad at all?"
She paused, then continued to ask Jin Rui beside her, "Are you sure you have completed everything I just told you to do?"
Jin Rui hummed lightly, "Madam, I have indeed arranged everything."
After he finished speaking, Liu Wenxian felt much more at ease.
Liu Wenxian slowly straightened her body, then leisurely picked up the teacup on the table beside her, tilted her head back and took a sip, then slowly put it down. "I don't know how she convinced the emperor, but in a few days, she will know that women should do what women should do."
"In a few years, she'll come back and thank me."
Jin Rui lowered her head and answered word by word, "Yes, I think the young lady will understand your painstaking efforts, Madam."
Liu Wenxian was very satisfied after hearing this, and the smile on her face became even wider.
"Thank you for what?"
Suddenly, a majestic voice sounded in my ears.
Liu Wenxian's expression paused, and when she turned sideways, she saw the old lady standing not far away, looking at her coldly.
Seeing this, she stood up instantly and asked, "Mother, why are you here?"
The old lady glanced around calmly, and finally her eyes fell on Jin Rui who was standing beside her.
She pointed at Jin Rui and said, "Come on, tell me."
Jin Rui was startled and subconsciously glanced at Liu Wenxian.
"Bang……"
The old lady immediately slammed her cane to the ground and shouted angrily, "What are you looking at her for? What? I can't control you anymore?"
Liu Wenxian hurriedly stepped forward and said slowly, "Mother, please be careful. Why get angry with a servant?"
He glared at Jin Rui sideways and said in feigned anger, "Although you have been following me all the time, you should answer whatever mother asks you. Just answer truthfully. I am not a petty person."
Jin Rui's heart was trembling. She folded her hands together and placed them flat in front of her body. She lowered her head and replied "yes".
After one stick of incense.
The old lady's aura became more serious, her face became even colder, and her eyes were fixed on Liu Wenxian.
"Is she right?"
Before things were successful, Jin Rui naturally couldn't tell everything Liu Wenxian had instructed her to do, so she only picked out the key points.
For example, the lady may have a sudden urge to want a lot of flowers and put them in the garden for viewing, but she knows nothing else.
Liu Wenxian's eyelids twitched. "Yes, Xian'er really just acted on a whim, that's why..."
The old lady said "oh" with a long drawl at the end of the tone, and her expression softened a little. "So that's how it is."
Liu Wenxian secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Although she had been married into the Feng family for more than ten years, she still felt a little nervous every time she saw the old lady.
The Feng family itself has produced talented people. Before leaving the court, Feng Shinian was one of the most important figures in the court and was recognized as a popular figure in front of the late emperor.
At that time, there were countless women who wanted to marry into the Feng family.
At that time, everyone thought that Feng Shinian would definitely marry a daughter of equal status, even the late emperor thought so.
But in the end, no one expected that the woman who married into the Feng family was a powerless village woman.
All this is just because Feng Shinian likes it.
When she first married into the Feng family, there was some gossip.
Gradually, she no longer heard those unpleasant words.
Instead, he became the object of flattery by the noble ladies of Shengjing.
If she had not come from a poor family, she would have been able to learn the skills and jokes of the rich ladies in Beijing.
Unfortunately she is not.
Therefore, she knows how important rules are.
Her identity is still a thorn in the old lady's heart.
Liu Wenxian lowered her eyes, and when she looked up again, a smile slowly appeared at the corner of her mouth.
She opened her red lips slightly, "Mother, it's just..."
“Kneel down!”
The old lady slammed the table, staring straight ahead with a serious expression.
As soon as he finished speaking, the maids serving around him all knelt on the ground and lowered their heads deeply.
Each breath became subconsciously lighter.
Jin Rui was startled and couldn't help but say, "Old Madam, Madam..."
The old lady just glanced at Jin Rui casually, and Liu Wenxian immediately grabbed Jin Rui's arm, applying a little force.
Jin Rui shut up obediently and took a step back.
Liu Wenxian smoothed the hem of her clothes behind her with one hand, pulled up one side of her clothes with the other hand, and then knelt down silently.
Her back was straight and her eyelids were drooping.
There was a sudden pain in her knee, and Liu Wenxian couldn't help but frown.
The old lady looked at her steadily and said, "Do you know why I made you kneel as punishment?"
Liu Wenxian shook her head.
The old lady would go to the Buddhist temple to meditate from time to time, and would not punish her as long as she did not do anything too excessive.
The old lady lowered her eyes and glanced at Liu Wenxian meaningfully. Then, she pointed at Jin Rui beside her and said, "I'll give you one more chance. What on earth have you done?"
