Upon seeing Gu Shouxin and Cai Xiaolian approaching, Gu Xin and Gu Si abandoned the people from the Goddess Kingdom and ran over.
Gu Xin stepped forward and carefully helped Cai Xiaolian: "Mom, why did you come out? Didn't Dad tell you not to come out?"
Gu Shouxin: "Cough cough. Nonsense, Father didn't say that!"
Cai Xiaolian rolled her eyes at Gu Shouxin before saying to Gu Xin, "I just came to see you two little ones, worried that you might be flustered since it's your first time making decisions on your own. But it seems, well, you're doing great!"
Just as Gu Xin was about to say something, a girl from the Goddess Kingdom walked over. She greeted the couple in the manners of the Great Zhou people, and then stared at Cai Xiaolian's face in surprise.
Cai Xiaolian: ...Don't even think about claiming kinship or lying to me. My original father is in Jiangnan.
Gu Xin also found the girl strange and tugged at her, saying, "Miss Murong, why are you staring at my mother like that? Is it because my mother is too beautiful?"
Gu Shouxin felt uncomfortable. "My wife is beautiful, but she's not for you to see." He looked at the girl from the Goddess Kingdom and asked, "Young lady, why are you staring at my wife?"
This young lady named Murong Yuan, according to her own account, is a servant of the tenth princess of the Goddess Kingdom. She came here to buy skincare products and happened to happen to be there when the food street opened.
She apologized, "Lord Gu, Madam Gu, I was rude. I just thought Madam Gu looked very healthy. As far as I know, many women develop spots and acne on their faces during pregnancy. Madam Gu is pregnant, but her skin is like that of a girl in her early twenties, which really surprised me."
Cai Xiaolian laughed and said, "Actually, it's because my products are good. I used my own products to take care of my skin during my pregnancy."
Murong Yuan was startled: "Didn't the seller instruct that pregnant women and girls under the age of thirteen should not use it?"
Gu Xin's eyes darted around, and she said with a smile, "Miss Murong, this was specially made by my family for my mother's condition. It was only prepared in January! It's not sold separately. Moreover, the ingredients are extremely complex and precious. If it were for sale, I doubt there would be many people willing to buy it!"
Murong Yuan exclaimed with delight, "So there are skincare products specifically for pregnant women? Young Master Gu, I'd like to buy some. How much do they cost?"
Gu Xin said somewhat awkwardly, "To be honest, we only made four sets of this product at home, just enough for my mother to use until she gives birth. We didn't plan to do this business."
Murong Yuan grabbed Gu Xin's hand: "Third Young Master, sell me one! I'll pay any price, really."
Gu Xin slowly pried Murong Yuan's hands apart: "Miss Murong, calm down, calm down. Can you tell me who you bought this for? You don't look like you're married, and you certainly don't look like you're pregnant."
Murong Yuan immediately told Gu Xin that she was a servant of the Tenth Princess, but she used to be a servant of Her Majesty the Queen. She was punished by being sent to the Tenth Princess because she made a mistake.
The tenth princess is Her Majesty the Queen's only daughter, ranking tenth among the children. Unfortunately, she is physically weak and unable to inherit the Goddess Kingdom. Her Majesty the Queen has given birth to ten children and is now pregnant with the eleventh, a very important pregnancy!
But their Queen is the one who loves beauty the most. Now that she's pregnant, she's not only gained weight, but also developed acne and blemishes. She wants to buy a set to give to the Queen.
Cai Xiaolian's head throbbed with embarrassment. Ten children! Although the Goddess Kingdom was a matriarchal society, it was still women who gave birth. How could she possibly have time for politics?
