She wouldn't let an outsider like herself disrupt the harmonious atmosphere she'd just established, so she smiled and said, "I know you ladies have important matters to attend to, and I certainly wouldn't dare to delay your time. Now, let me introduce these rouges."
After saying that, he immediately laid out various rouges and began to describe their colors and scents.
His explanation was logical and well-founded, which made the ladies eager to try it out.
These past few days, she, Xiaoqiao'er, and Xiaoyue'er have been studying all aspects of these rouges, so naturally they can talk about them casually.
She spoke very well, and after the ladies looked at it, they each chose several different colors and styles.
Even Madam Yu, who had just looked rather unwell, couldn't help but join the group.
The basket they brought, which was full, was almost empty.
Princess Changting didn't mind either; after all the ladies had made their choices, she took all the remaining ones as well.
Then he asked Chunyu, who was by his side, to fetch the silver.
The atmosphere returned to its previous harmonious state.
Jiang Changting waited a while, then smiled and said, "Now that the ladies have received their rouge, why don't you go back and try it out to see if it's as good as the shopkeeper said?"
"If not, I can still come over and get the employer to compensate me at the original price."
This was her signal to send them away, and the concubines were all extremely intelligent women. Hearing her say this, how could they not understand?
He immediately stood up, smiling, and said, "Changting is right. Before the master leaves, I have to give it a try. If it's not as good as he says, then I'll make trouble for him!"
After saying that, he immediately turned and left.
When the others saw this, they smiled and said goodbye and left.
After everyone had left, Jiang Changting turned to look at Wei Wei and said thoughtfully, "Aren't you worried?"
Wei Wei smiled and replied, "I have great confidence in my family's rouge, and I did not say anything false just now."
"So, I'm not worried at all."
Seeing her confident demeanor, Jiang Changting smiled.
He asked her to sit down again: "There's no one else here, and I'm not the kind of person who likes to put on airs."
"Please have a seat; all guests are welcome."
Wei Wei stopped being coy and thanked her, saying, "Then thank you very much, Princess."
After saying that, he sat down on a nearby stool.
Seeing that she was seated, Jiang Changting spoke: "When I went to the rouge shop a few days ago, I felt that you were a little different."
Although he didn't say anything, he was extremely concerned about the situation here.
"Now that I see, you really are the owner of the rouge shop. Why didn't you come up and say anything then?"
Jiang Changting asked directly, and Wei Wei replied, "The princess and all the young ladies are very capable people. At that time, it wasn't that I was unwilling to step forward, but rather that I hesitated."
Hearing her answer, Jiang Changting couldn't help but laugh: "But the boss doesn't seem to be as afraid of us as he says."
Wei Wei shook her head: "What I'm afraid of is someone else entirely."
Her expression was sincere: "Princess Changting is a kind-hearted person, but some people wish they could destroy anyone or anything she dislikes immediately. They don't care about anyone's feelings or situation, and always think that they are unique in the world."
"People like that should be frightening and kept at a distance."
She had no reservations when it came to Jiang Changhe.
This made Jiang Changting raise an eyebrow: "You've got some nerve, talking about my sister in front of me is one thing, but to be so rude to her is quite another. Aren't you afraid I'll hold you accountable?"
"You should know that although we are at odds with each other on the outside, if outsiders want to provoke us, we will of course stand united against them."
Jiang Changting's words made a lot of sense, but her attitude when she said them was so lazy that it didn't seem like she cared much.
When Wei Wei saw that there was no anger in her eyes, and even a hint of a smile, she felt relieved.
I know I didn't make the wrong bet.
She said this to test Jiang Changting's reaction; if she were to be scolded, she would accept it.
Now, instead of scolding her, her face even softened a bit.
There must be a deep-seated hatred between these two sisters that they keep hidden from outsiders.
Otherwise, given Jiang Changting's character, how could he possibly show such an expression?
Thinking of this, she lowered her head even further: "If Princess Changting can tell me these things so frankly, then even if I am scolded, I will not feel resentful."
Princess Changting sighed: "You don't need to test me anymore. I really won't do anything to you."
A dark glint flashed in her eyes, and her voice became a little hoarse: "That girl Changhe is not only willful and capricious, but also suffocating."
"Although I am easygoing, I really can't stand her bad temper."
At this point, she reached up and rubbed her temples, then suddenly looked up at her: "Judging from your tone, you knew her before?"
Wei Wei nodded: "I've had the privilege of witnessing Princess Changhe's outbursts of madness a few times."
These words made Jiang Changting burst out laughing, but he still reminded her, "You can't say these things outside of Liuli Pavilion."
"Otherwise, if someone hears this, your life will be in danger."
Wei Wei replied very tactfully, "Thank you for your concern, Princess Changting. I understand."
Just as Jiang Changting was about to ask her where she had seen Jiang Changhe, hurried footsteps came from outside.
"Young Miss, the Prince is looking for you."
Standing at the door was another head maidservant beside her, whose expression was not good at all.
It seems that the Prince of Ming's visit to Princess Changting made her very resistant.
Wei Wei turned to look at Jiang Changting.
But to his surprise, Jiang Changting looked even worse.
No, it's not that it's ugly, but rather a disgust that arises from the depths of my heart.
A deep-seated loathing, which cannot be suppressed no matter how hard one tries.
She stopped talking.
Jiang Changting had no intention of continuing the conversation.
She looked at Chunyu, who had been waiting beside her, and her voice became a little hoarse: "Chunyu, deliver today's payment to the master, and then safely escort them out of the mansion."
Having said that, he walked out.
Her appearance was so out of sorts that it made Wei Wei feel uneasy.
Jiang Changting's behavior has gone far beyond what a daughter would do to dislike her father; it's really abnormal.
What secrets lie within the Ming Prince's Mansion?
