That day, the second wife came specially to see her two little grandchildren. Coincidentally, her son and daughter-in-law were there today, so she asked tentatively.
"Yaoyao, you've been married into the Xiao family for less than ten years, maybe seven or eight years, but you've always been alone with Chen'er, and she hasn't even brought in any sisters to talk to you. Do you feel bored? Do you feel really bored?"
What does mother-in-law mean by this? Is she asking me to take the initiative to find a concubine for Xiao Beichen?
Xiao Beichen was also shocked why his mother suddenly said that?
"Mom, I've already told you that I will only have one wife, Yaoyao, in this life. All those concubines and maids should stay away from me."
"Mother, do you want your son to take a concubine? No, you want to bring unrest to your son's family! Since ancient times, concubines and the like have always been the root of family troubles. Mother, am I your biological son? Why don't you hope for the best for me?"
The second wife didn't expect her son to react so strongly. She just mentioned it casually and she would never say it again.
"Don't be angry, Chen'er. Mother was just confused for a moment."
"Mother, since your cousin always lives in the mansion, it's easy for outsiders to gossip about her. So, mother wants you to take her in so that she can stay here with me and avoid the gossip, right?"
Xiao Beichen looked as if he knew she was the one causing trouble.
"Then let my cousin go, mother. You can't keep her around forever. Your son won't take her into his room anyway. If you really care about her, help her find a good family to marry in this city."
The Second Madam thought it was feasible, and apologetically took Su Moyan's hand and talked to her for a long time.
"Yaoyao, I was confused just now. Don't take what I said to heart. You can't bear a grudge against me, and you can't be alienated from me."
"How could that be? I know I don't have any bad intentions. Don't worry, I won't take it to heart."
After hearing that her daughter-in-law would not take it to heart, the second wife breathed a sigh of relief and immediately got up and went out to find a matchmaker to introduce a good family to Wu Kexin.
A few days later, Wu Kexin got married reluctantly.
The family returned to its former tranquility. Su Moyan would often accompany her mother-in-law for strolls, and would generously buy any clothes or jewelry she liked.
The days went by like this, and before she knew it, Su Moyan had spent more than ten years here.
Every time she went out for a stroll, the people in the city would turn back and look at her a few more times.
"Wow, the City Lord's wife is so beautiful!"
"Yeah, how come she's getting more and more beautiful over the years? She doesn't look like a woman in her thirties at all."
Some brave ones would even come forward to ask her for her beauty secrets.
"Hello, Madam City Lord. You are so beautiful, and your skin is as fair and tender as a little girl's."
Su Moyan chatted with them with a smile, and said that she looked so young because of the beauty pills she took.
She took the opportunity to spread the news that she was about to open a shop.
"My beauty salon will be opening in a few days. If you want to stay as young as me, remember to patronize my business."
Everyone praised it and asked when the opening date would be, promising to visit.
Su Moyan walked into the beauty shop happily, walked into a room, locked herself inside, and slipped into the space.
"System, come out quickly and help me load the pills."
The system turned into a puppy and appeared in the space.
"Host, I can't help you pack the pills in this state."
Su Moyan glanced at it.
"Can't you change your appearance?"
The system…well, it finally transformed into a little panda.
Reluctantly helping Su Moyan pack the pills.
"Host, this pill is very precious. You have to sell it for a high price. When you make money, remember to buy me a few picture books."
"Don't worry, I'll buy you some history books when the time comes."
"No, I don't want it. I like picture books."
"The best ones are the kind that are about love between a man and a woman, or the kind where they tear each other apart because they can't get what they want, or the kind where enemies meet and become extremely jealous but end up loving each other. I like to read those kinds the most."
Su Moyan's mouth twitched. I think you still like to look at pornographic pictures?
After hearing her thoughts, the system shouted excitedly.
"Host, you really do understand me. Remember to buy it for me when you make money."
Su Moyan was speechless and looked up at the sky, urging it to work faster. Maybe when she was in a better mood, she would buy it a book.
Unexpectedly, there was a recipe for making beauty pills in the space. Su Moyan picked out several smart and clever maids and servants who had signed death contracts from the mansion to learn how to make medicine.
In this way, when the stock of Meiyanfang is sold out, there is no need to take it from the space.
The beauty shop became a hot business as soon as it opened. High-end beauty pills cost three thousand taels per bottle, and there were three pills in each bottle. These were generally sold to the ladies and young ladies of wealthy and powerful families.
A bottle of intermediate beauty pills costs one thousand taels, and there are two pills in one bottle. This is not something ordinary people can afford.
Don't worry, there are also low-level beauty pills. You can buy a bottle of them for only one hundred taels of silver, and there are ten pills in a bottle.
Of course, you can also buy just one. In fact, the effect is the same, just the packaging is different.
Su Moyan happily counted money all day long until her hands cramped. Oh my god, so this is what counting money feels like. It's quite tiring.
"Yao'er, why do you have to watch over it yourself? Just find a trustworthy steward to do it."
"That's fine. I don't want to count money anymore anyway."
Among his three children, the eldest son Xiao Yixiuan is calm and composed, and has been learning how to manage the city affairs from Xiao Beichen.
