Tang Baozhu saw their anxious expressions and realized they were making a big fuss. "I'm not feeling unwell, I'm just tired from shopping. I'll rest more when we get back. Don't make a fuss, it's nothing. You're all making a big deal out of it."
Hearing that everything was alright, the two maids breathed a sigh of relief. If anything had happened, the young master would never have let them off the hook.
"Then Madam, please go and eat. After you finish eating, we'll head back as soon as possible. We can't let you miss your rest."
Tang Baozhu followed two maids directly to Ruyi Tower, a three-story restaurant. It was lunchtime, and the place was bustling with people.
Even the waiters were exceptionally hospitable, and no customer was neglected despite the booming business.
There were no private rooms left in the restaurant, so he took two maids and went directly to a table behind a screen. There was no one to disturb him here, and no one could see him eating, so he didn't complain and chose this spot.
The food was served quite quickly, which means there are quite a few chefs there. We ordered three dishes, and the portions were very generous; Tang Baozhu couldn't finish them all.
“I’ve finished eating. If you two don’t mind, why don’t you eat what you haven’t finished? I just picked up food from one side when I was picking up food, and the other side was untouched.”
Xia Ju and Xia Zhu were quite happy to have a share, not expecting it, and they no longer felt disgusted, especially since the food given to them was something the madam hadn't touched.
"We thank you for your generous gift, Madam."
Tang Baozhu had gotten used to it; after so many ancient worlds, she never felt embarrassed about offering them her leftovers.
For those who serve, it is considered respectable to give them food that their master has not finished eating, and there is no question of disdain.
After finishing the meal, she immediately asked the waiter to settle the bill. The meal cost more than 80 taels of silver, and Tang Baozhu felt pain in her heart, liver, spleen, and lungs.
She really didn't expect that just three dishes would be so expensive. She decided that she would never eat out again, because she was really worried that she couldn't afford it.
They quickly paid the money, had two maids carry the things they bought that morning, and then headed home.
Tang Baozhu felt that the consumption level in this small world seemed to be much higher than that in the small worlds she had experienced before.
After returning home, I washed up and dismissed the two maids. I was tired from shopping all morning and decided to take a good rest.
Lying in bed, pondering his expenses for the day, he discovered he only had a little over 100 taels of silver left, which was terrifying.
I don’t think I bought anything very expensive, but I’ve already spent more than 300 taels of silver. It’s terrifying. I wonder how ordinary people live.
She took out the box where the original owner kept her private stash of money, which the young master had given her little by little since she first became his concubine.
Aside from spending a lot of money when she first became rich, she didn't spend much after that and kept saving it.
She counted it and found she had over 2,000 taels of silver. After two years as a mistress, it was quite impressive that she had managed to save this much.
After all, the young master gave the most money at the beginning, but unfortunately it was all spent by the original owner or sent back to her family.
Later, the young master reduced the allowance a bit, but it was still several hundred taels a month, which was quite good.
He put the remaining 100-odd taels of silver into the box. Apart from the 100-tael silver note, the rest were 20-odd taels of loose silver, which he threw into the box.
I feel like I don't have enough personal savings. I'll just focus on collecting the young master's private stash from now on.
With nothing else to do, I lay down on the bed. It had been a long time since I'd gone shopping for so long, and I was so exhausted that I fell asleep quickly.
Tang Baozhu slept for two hours, which is equivalent to four hours. She felt that she could sleep too much. If she continued to sleep, she was worried that she would not be able to sleep at night, so she quickly got out of bed.
It was already sunset, and the weather wasn't hot, so I took the opportunity to go for a stroll in the yard.
This is a three-courtyard house. Tang Baozhu lives in the main house in the second courtyard. The first courtyard is reserved for entertaining guests. Although the young master has never brought guests here, preparations have been made in advance.
The third courtyard contains the servants' quarters, which aren't particularly interesting to see.
There is a small garden between the first and second courtyards. Although the flowers and plants there are not particularly rare, many of them are in bloom and look quite pretty.
It wasn't a particularly exquisite little garden, but it had its own charm, and at least Tang Baozhu found it quite pleasant.
After strolling around the garden for a while, she remembered that the young master would be coming soon. Not forgetting that she was going to drug him, she quickly told two maids to prepare food so that they could eat when the young master returned.
Drugging the young master was something Tang Baozhu had planned last night. She would give him a contraceptive to see if the young master's wife, who wasn't pregnant, would still have the courage to harm her own child.
If you're so wicked, then don't be a mother.
As darkness fell, Tang Baozhu sat in the main room, thinking that the young master should be back soon. She could only wait at the door of the main room, relying on the original owner's memories.
These are things the original owner was used to doing, and she can't change them too much all at once. However, now that she is pregnant, she thinks the young master shouldn't be able to bear seeing her waiting outside any longer, so she can just go with the flow.
She saw the young master returning from afar and quickly pretended to look at him with anticipation. "Young master must be tired after a long day. Go and wash up first. The kitchen has already prepared the meal. After you have washed up, you can start eating."
Yong Xingchen looked at the woman standing at the gate waiting for him, her eyes filled with anticipation. When she saw him, her eyes seemed to light up, making his heart melt.
He quickly went over, took Baozhu's hand, and only breathed a sigh of relief after making sure her hand wasn't too cold.
As long as you don't get cold, it's fine. "You don't need to wait for me outside anymore. You're two people now. If you catch a cold, you'll get sick. Be good and wait for me inside."
Tang Baozhu looked at the young master with a shy expression, "I was just eager to see you as soon as possible, so I couldn't wait to greet you outside. I hope you won't be angry."
