When Madam Wei saw them, she immediately stepped forward, holding Su Huaiyue with one hand and Wei Che with the other, and said distressedly, "You are finally back. You must have suffered a lot during your time in Chenzhou, right?"
Su Huaiyue and Wei Che smiled at each other, and hurried to comfort Madam Wei, saying that everything was going smoothly and she had not suffered much.
The Wei family members gathered around them at once, their eyes full of curiosity and concern, and asked about their experiences in Chenzhou.
Su Huaiyue and Wei Che vividly recounted what they saw and heard in Chenzhou, as well as how they organized rescue operations and helped the victims rebuild their homes.
The Wei family listened intently and nodded in praise, especially Mrs. Wei, whose face was full of pride and honor. She praised Su Huaiyue and Wei Che for their courage and wisdom, and said they were the pride of the Wei family.
At this moment, Wei Ersao suddenly covered her mouth and chuckled, jokingly saying: "Look, the eldest sister-in-law and Wei Che standing there are really pleasing to the eyes, like a couple made in heaven!"
As soon as these words were spoken, the entire hall fell silent and the atmosphere became somewhat subtle.
Mrs. Wei Er also realized that her words were unintentional but the listeners took them seriously, and she regretted it so much that she wanted to slap herself.
How can a sister-in-law and a brother-in-law be a good match? She just spoke without thinking and didn't mean it.
On the other hand, Wei Che and Su Huaiyue both felt a little uncomfortable because of these words.
Madam Wei's smile froze on her face. She knew that Su Huaiyue and Wei Che had shouldered all the burdens of their three thousand mile exile from the capital.
However, she could turn a blind eye to it, but how could the ethical principles allow the two of them to overstep the line!
Wei Che was the first to come to his senses. He stood up in a panic and stammered, "I... I still have to help Lord Jing with some matters at the resettlement site. I'll be leaving first."
After saying this, he hurriedly left the hall as if escaping. Seeing this, everyone also dispersed tacitly.
Su Huaiyue sat there in a daze, with an indescribable ripple in her heart.
Wei Li appeared out of nowhere, "Mother, what are you thinking about? What did Second Aunt mean just now?"
Wei Zhi said with a mature look, "They were talking about mother and uncle. What they meant was that if they helped each other, our Wei family would prosper."
Su Huaiyue was amused by Wei Zhi's appearance and scratched his nose. "You know a lot. You were asleep, so why are you up?"
When she and Wei Che came back just now, they heard the housekeeper say that the two little ones were already fast asleep, so they did not disturb them.
Wei Li's grape-shaped eyes rolled around, "Mom, I dreamed that you came back from Chenzhou, so I woke up immediately. I didn't expect you to really come back!"
Immediately afterwards, Su Huaiyue was pulled by the two little ones to tell a story.
The next morning, Su Huaiyue got up early, packed up, and prepared to go to the beauty shop.
Wei Ersao and Wei Yunrou had just gotten up. Seeing her about to go out, they followed her and said, "Sister-in-law, are you going to the beauty shop? We'll go with you."
Su Huaiyue did not refuse and asked the housekeeper to bring the carriage over.
On the way, Wei Ersao spoke several times, feeling a little embarrassed.
Su Huaiyue also noticed her hesitancy, so she asked, "What's wrong, second sister-in-law? If you have something to say, just say it."
Mrs. Wei looked at Su Huaiyue with an apologetic look on her face, "I really didn't mean to say that in front of the old lady last night. I just thought of it subconsciously."
Thinking about what happened last night, Su Huaiyue was still frightened. Although she and Wei Che kept their distance, everyone must have noticed something was wrong.
What's more, Madam Wei is such a shrewd person that she didn't expose the truth only because she had contributed so much to the Wei family.
If one day her existence harms the interests of the Wei family, I am afraid they will not tolerate her.
"It's okay, you don't have to worry too much."
Compared to before, Wei Ersao's attitude towards her has changed drastically. At least she knows her mistake and knows how to apologize, which is a good thing, so Su Huaiyue doesn't care about it.
The three of them came to the beauty shop and watched the craftsmen doing the final finishing work. The decoration inside was almost complete.
During the time Su Huaiyue was away from Youzhou, Wei Yunrou had always been the one supervising the work. She said to Su Huaiyue with considerable pride, "Sister-in-law, look, I had them put up a small sign here. Furthermore, many of the maids who were training at our house came frequently to ask when work would start. They couldn't wait."
"Gather them together and have them come to the beauty shop in three days to prepare for the opening. We also need to train them again."
Su Huaiyue looked at the craftsman and said, "Master, how many days will it take to finish?"
"That's about it for today. These places are a little loose, so I'll nail them down for you to prevent people from lying on them and shaking."
Su Huaiyue looked around and found that the shop was almost ready and there were enough people.
Next up are her products.
Sister-in-law Wei Er seemed to notice something and said, "Sister-in-law, there is only so much of this beauty cream. It is quite complicated to make. You are definitely not able to handle it alone. I was thinking, if you don't mind, can I help you too?"
Seeing that Su Huaiyue didn't say anything, Wei Ersao became a little nervous. "Sister-in-law, I, I don't want to steal your recipe. I really just want to help."
Su Huaiyue chuckled, "Don't worry, I was planning to tell you this recipe, but I can't figure it out by myself, so it's just right that you two are together, and we can help each other."
"Let's do it tonight. After we go back, we'll call my third and fourth sister-in-law together. Anyone who wants to learn can follow me and learn. This way, I'll have time to research new recipes."
Of course, there can't be just one kind of beauty cream, so Su Huaiyue decided to teach them all for long-term planning.
After preparing the things needed in the shop, dusk had already fallen quietly.
The three of them hurried back to the Wei family.
Su Huaiyue was so concerned about teaching the formula of the beauty cream that she completely ignored her tiredness and started preparing as soon as she stepped into the house.
She sent someone to summon Wei San's wife and Wei Si's wife to the spacious and bright hall.
For a moment, the four of them sat together, each of them with curiosity and anticipation in their eyes, and a look of longing on their faces.
Sister-in-law Wei San was the first to be unable to suppress her curiosity. She leaned forward slightly and asked anxiously, "Sister-in-law, everyone says this beauty cream is amazing. Can we learn how to use it?"
Su Huaiyue raised the corners of her mouth, revealing a gentle smile, and patiently explained: "Third sister-in-law, we are all children of aristocratic families, so it's not impossible for us to learn such simple things."
Wei Si's sister-in-law also hurried forward and asked, "Sister-in-law, are these herbs difficult to find? Will it be very troublesome for us to make them later?"
