Wu Junrou looked at Song Wanning with surprise, but she smiled faintly and said, "Wanning, you are now in your prime, and this kind of rouge is most suitable for you. Look at me, I am half buried in the ground, how can I care about so many things. As long as this family is well, I think it is more important than anything else. Besides, this rouge is such a rare thing, you should cherish it. It would be a waste to give it to me for nothing."
Wu Junrou said this, and there was nothing wrong with her words. Song Wanning looked at Wu Junrou and responded calmly, "Aunt is right, it was me who was not thoughtful enough. My niece and his wife originally thought that since it was a rare good thing, they would bring it over for Aunt to see. Let's all see this rare thing."
Wu Junrou felt something was amiss when Song Wanning came this time. After all, Song Wanning usually never came to visit someone unless she had something important to ask for help, so how could she come to her for help?
Before Wu Junrou had time to think carefully, she was about to say something when she saw her daughter-in-law Qi Shu coming out from the other end of the room. When she saw Song Wanning, she came up to her and laughed out loud, "Madam Prime Minister, how did you find the time to come to our mansion today? I guess we haven't seen each other for a long time."
Song Wanning smiled faintly upon hearing this, and said slowly, "It's nothing else. I just got a box of beautifully colored rouge. It's a rare find, so I brought it here to show my knowledgeable aunt."
Qi Shu usually likes rouge and powder. After hearing what Song Wanning said, she naturally came to take a look. She looked at the box of rouge in Song Wanning's hand and said in surprise, "I thought it would be very rare, but looking at the color of the rouge in the box of rouge in the Prime Minister's wife's hand, it is really rare. I have never seen such a color before."
"That's right. I got this little box with great difficulty." Song Wanning looked up at Qi Shu and smiled faintly, "I think my dear sister-in-law will like this thing too. This color is rare now. If you are interested, you might as well try painting it. If you like it, I will give it to you directly."
Wu Junrou interrupted immediately after hearing this, "Wan Ning, you originally got this rouge from your sister-in-law. If you give it to Qi Shu now, I'm afraid your sister-in-law will be unhappy when she finds out. It's more important that you keep this good thing for yourself."
After hearing this, Song Wanning smiled and agreed, "Aunt, my sister-in-law and I are very close, and we are relatives. If my sister-in-law knew about this, she wouldn't be angry. Such a good rouge, such a rare color, wouldn't it be a waste if I used it all by myself?"
Seeing this, Wu Junrou's smile faded. She looked at Qi Shu beside her and said slowly, "She already has a lot of rouge on a daily basis, so she doesn't need a box of rouge."
Qi Shu usually loved to put on makeup. Seeing Song Wanning bring such a nice box of rouge, how could she not be tempted? She immediately stepped forward and said, "If that's the case, I'd also like to try such a rare color. The colors sold outside don't look as beautiful as this one. My sister-in-law is really generous to be willing to share such a good thing with me."
Seeing this, Song Wanning immediately laughed and said, "Sister-in-law, what are you talking about? Such a good thing should naturally be enjoyed by us together. Sister-in-law, come and sit down. Today, I will apply it on your lips and try it out. I'm afraid that if my brother at home sees this color, he won't even be able to walk."
Seeing this, Qi Shu immediately stepped forward and looked at Song Wanning and said, "Since my sister-in-law said so, I must give it a try."
Qi Shu's words made Wu Junrou anxious. After all, this rouge contained something that was not conducive to women's fertility. If Qi Shu used it like this, it would affect the family's offspring in the future.
Wu Junrou immediately spoke up and slowly said to Qi Shu, "I've always been kind to you, but now you're being so rude. If this gets out, won't people laugh at us for having no manners in the Yin Mansion?"
Qi Shu's expression changed upon seeing this. Knowing that Wu Junrou was truly angry, she could only stand up awkwardly and said to Song Wanning, "Sister-in-law, I suddenly remembered that I still have a lot of things to do in the yard. If I accompany you here to have fun, I won't be able to finish the things in the yard. In that case, I won't accompany you. I'll go back to the yard first and finish what I need to do. If I have time, I'll come and talk to you again."
Seeing this, Song Wanning already had an idea in her mind, but she still had a faint smile on her face. She slowly said, "Since my sister-in-law is busy now, I won't disturb you. I have a lot of things waiting for me to do in the Prime Minister's Mansion. I can go there now and everything will be fine."
Qi Shu smiled awkwardly and went back to her own yard.
Seeing this, Wu Junrou, who was standing by, also tried to smooth things over for herself, saying, "Wan Ning, your sister-in-law has always been unruly. Now that I saw her being so unruly, I reprimanded her a few times. It has nothing to do with you. Please don't take it to heart."
Seeing this, Song Wanning only smiled faintly and said, "Aunt is right. I, your niece-in-law, won't take it to heart. In this family, it has always been your aunt who has worked hard. Wanning knows this. Now, I'm afraid that this rouge can only be enjoyed by me. If I get a better one in the future, I will give it to my sister-in-law."
Wu Junrou nodded and sent Song Wanning out the door.
As soon as Song Wanning left the Prime Minister's Mansion, her expression changed. Wu Junrou's attitude now made Song Wanning understand the whole story. Now she was afraid that Wu Junrou was the instigator of this rouge. If it weren't for her, how could Madam Xu have thought so carefully and not have received the news so quickly.
Song Wanning's expression grew colder. She looked at Cai Que beside her and said, "I'm afraid there are quite a few traitors among the servants in my family. You and your men should be careful. If you find anything amiss, just tell me. I will definitely kick out all those treacherous servants in the future. If all else fails, I'll sell most of them and buy some new ones to cultivate my own trusted confidants so that I don't have to eat half-cooked rice."
Caique responded from the side, lowering her head and saying, "Madam is right. I will arrange for this matter when I return."
