Indeed, you have to be ruthless to do business.
Once their essential oil soap is released, the Han family will surely sell like hotcakes!
However, that's because the Han family head has a business mind; he can sell soap worth one tael of silver for ten taels of silver. There's nothing more to say about that.
Gu Lili had already earned quite a bit of money from just one or two taels of silver.
Looking at so many soaps, Madam Lin seemed to have thought of something, and covered her mouth, exclaiming, "Could it be that these soaps were made by the County Princess?"
After she entered Gu Lili's house, she noticed that villagers were working in the house opposite the main room.
Furthermore, since Han Mingyue was at Gu Lili's house, she made this assumption.
Gu Lili glanced at the door and nodded shyly, "That's right."
Madam Lin's appreciation for Gu Lili grew even stronger.
In fact, Gu Lili's reputation had already spread throughout the capital.
So many daughters of officials were taught music, chess, calligraphy, and painting from a young age.
However, no one else was personally bestowed the title of County Princess by the Emperor like Gu Lili.
And this happened within just a few months.
In their eyes, Gu Lili was an extraordinary woman in this world.
Which woman in the mansion didn't envy Gu Lili?
The most pragmatic village head was met with ridicule and sarcasm from everyone, who felt that Gu Lili's situation was merely a matter of chance.
It wasn't until Gu Lili was granted the title of County Princess that these people realized that Gu Lili must have extraordinary talents that ordinary people lacked.
That's why he was repeatedly awarded titles.
Therefore, it's not surprising at all that Gu Lili can make soap.
"Lili is truly exceptionally intelligent!" Madam Lin couldn't help but exclaim.
Lord Lin nodded in agreement.
Mrs. Lin readily accepted Gu Lili's gift and prepared to leave with her father and daughter.
"Mother, I still have homework to do. You and Father go back first. After school tonight, I'll accompany you for a walk on the beach," Lin Xiyao said.
Upon hearing this, Madam Lin's face darkened.
"We'll discuss your class later. Come back with me first; I have something to ask you!" Madam Lin's tone left no room for argument.
Looking at the expression on Madam Lin's face, Lin Xiyao knew that Madam Lin must be angry with her.
But she really didn't know what she had done to upset her mother.
Lin Xiyao quickly looked to Lord Lin for help, and Lord Lin knew that Madam Lin was angry.
But for some reason, he could only shake his head helplessly, indicating that he didn't know.
When Madam Lin is angry, Lin Xiyao usually has to go along with her, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable.
"Han Mingyue, could you ask the teacher for half a day off for me? Just say my mother is back, and I'll go tomorrow," Lin Xiyao said loudly to Han Mingyue, who was talking to Gu Yanyu and Li Qimu under the eaves.
Han Mingyue nodded in agreement.
Madam Corinne's face grew increasingly gloomy.
After saying goodbye to Gu Lili, he took the father and daughter and got into the carriage and left.
Gu Lili glanced at Han Mingyue, then at the departing carriage.
He began to worry about his friend.
The carriage was eerily quiet.
It was supposed to be a day for family reunion, but the air inside the train carriage was freezing cold.
The sight made Lin Xiyao shiver in the sweltering summer heat.
The last time my mother was this angry was when I was nine years old, when I went to the ancestral hall to steal food and accidentally broke my grandfather's ancestral tablet.
That time, my mother was extremely angry.
She was severely punished, and they almost sent her to see her grandfather.
But this time, she was a little confused.
Why was Mrs. Lin angry?
Just then, the carriage stopped.
"Get out of the car!" Madam Lin said coldly.
Lin Xiyao and Lord Lin rushed forward to help Madam Lin, but Madam Lin pushed them away.
After shaking off their hands, he jumped off the carriage.
Lord Lin and Lin Xiyao exchanged a glance. Although they didn't know why, they were sure they were in big trouble.
"What are you dawdling for! You two get back inside!"
Just as the two were stunned, Madam Lin's cold voice came from outside the carriage.
The father and daughter hurriedly jumped off the carriage and followed behind Madam Lin.
"Cuizhu, you stay at the door and guard it. Don't let anyone near!"
After giving her instructions, Madam Lin led the way into the front hall.
The Lin father and daughter sighed and followed them inside.
As soon as the two went inside, Cuizhu sensibly closed the door behind her.
At this moment, Madam Lin was filled with anger, but she didn't know how to question the father and daughter.
Lin Xiyao is old enough to be beaten and scolded.
If the words are spoken too harshly, it will surely hurt Lin Xiyao's self-esteem.
The room was eerily quiet; neither the father nor the daughter dared to sit down without Madam Lin's permission.
She stood there cautiously, even adjusting her breathing.
Try not to make any noise so as not to attract Mrs. Lin's attention.
Mrs. Lin sat for a long time before looking up and seeing the two people standing there. She couldn't help but sigh deeply.
"Why are you standing there? Sit down," Madam Lin said weakly.
At this moment, she felt helpless and even a little sad.
Ever since Lin Xiyao was born, she knew that sooner or later, Lin Xiyao would get married.
This is something I cannot stop.
However, as a mother, she naturally wanted to find a good husband for her.
I don't care about great wealth or status; I just hope that Lin Xiyao can spend the rest of her life peacefully and happily in her husband's family.
However, the Han family was clearly not like that.
Madam Lin only saw that her daughter had feelings for Han Mingyue, but she didn't know what Han Mingyue was like.
Perhaps it's more about how far their relationship has progressed.
Is it still possible to stop it?
The father and daughter stood there nervously for a long time, but unexpectedly, Madam Lin gently asked them to sit down.
For a moment, I couldn't make up my mind. What was wrong with Madam Lin?
Lin Xiyao was never one to hold back, so rather than suffer like a frog being slowly boiled in water, she decided to go all in.
Just ask your mother why she's acting so strangely today.
"Mother, I can see you're not very happy. What's wrong? Tell me, and I'll help you out," Lin Xiaoyao asked cautiously.
Lord Lin secretly gave Lin Xiyao a thumbs up.
He nodded to Madam Lin and said, "Yes, Madam, if you tell us, my daughter and I will certainly share your burdens. It hurts me to see you so unhappy."
Mrs. Lin looked at the two of them and couldn't help but sigh again.
"Yaoyao, let me ask you, why did you suddenly go to school for no reason?" Madam Lin planned to probe indirectly.
As Madam Lin finished speaking, Lin Xiyao's face became somewhat unnatural, and she pursed her lips slightly.
Seeing Lin Xiyao's expression, his guess was pretty much right.
Madam Lin could even guess that Lin Xiyao was about to lie.
