As for Yong Xingchen, he had already gotten up to attend the morning court session when it was just dawn. As long as one is an official, one has to get up at four or five o'clock. Except for their days off, they never sleep in.
After tidying herself up, Tang Baozhu hurriedly went to the main room. She had been having some unpleasantness these past two days because of the pressure to have a baby, so she didn't want to give her mother-in-law an excuse to lash out at her.
She took small, quick steps, but she walked with the feeling of flying, and the maids following behind could hardly keep up.
Tang Baozhu was most satisfied with her excellent physique. With the top-tier wood-type superpower circulating in her body all day long, it would be strange if her body wasn't healthy.
When Tang Baozhu arrived at the main house, the nanny who served Yong's mother was already waiting outside. With a stern face, she respectfully bowed to her and then said in a cold voice, "The Marquis told the young mistress that she doesn't need to come to pay her respects to her anymore. The young mistress can rest a little longer and let her sleep a little longer."
Tang Baozhu didn't expect that she would be stopped so directly. Although it was a good thing that she didn't have to pay her respects, at the same time, she would not be able to see her son.
As expected, old ginger is spicier. After all, she had been fighting in the inner quarters for decades. As the final victorious Lady Hou, how could she not vent her anger?
However, Tang Baozhu wouldn't get angry. As long as the Lady Hou made her feel bad, she would deal with her son and then let him come and argue with her, his mother.
As for not being able to see his son, there's no need to worry. Once Yong Xingchen returns from work in the evening, he can simply go to the main room and take the boy away.
She can forget about ever seeing her son or grandson again.
She would never confront the Lady of the Marquis directly. Regardless of whether she was in the right or not, if word got out, it would be the daughter-in-law who was in the wrong. In ancient times, filial piety was extremely important, and she would never allow her reputation to be tarnished in any way.
Tang Baozhu bowed in the direction of the main gate, her gesture perfectly executed. After finishing, she said to the nanny standing guard beside her, "Since Mother-in-law is still resting, I, as her daughter-in-law, cannot disturb her sleep. Now that the ceremony is over, I will head back. Nanny, you must take good care of Mother-in-law. If she is feeling unwell, please call the family physician immediately. Do not delay seeking medical attention."
She uttered some hurtful words with a smile. I imagine that when this old woman relays what she said to the Lady of the Marquis, the Lady of the Marquis will be furious. Will she think that the old woman has cursed her?
Just thinking about it makes me feel good.
Then he turned around and left the main house with Xia Ju and Xia Zhu, heading towards his own residence in the second courtyard.
Before leaving, I didn't forget to scan inside with my divine sense. The old woman who said she was resting was sitting in the main room in a grand chair, holding a cup of tea and drinking it.
As for her son, he was sleeping soundly on his side, seemingly carefree.
As long as my son is alright, that's all that matters. I'll bring him back as soon as everything is done.
After returning to the main house, I ate some breakfast. After all, I had only had two pieces of pastry in the rush earlier, so now it was time to have breakfast.
The chef in the manor did not disappoint me as always. A bowl of porridge, a steamed bun, a dumpling, and some side dishes made for a very satisfying breakfast.
No one can interfere with her cooking, not even her nominal in-laws.
After finishing his meal, he quickly ordered the servants to remove the leftovers from the table, washed up, and went straight to his study.
Since I've already decided to make rouge and face powder, I should at least write out a few recipes, the kind that can be made with common herbs but have exceptionally good effects.
After writing and writing, I felt that my stuff was too good. If the eunuch in charge of purchasing things for the ladies in the palace discovered my good stuff, he would definitely buy it. If any lady thought it was good and wanted to get involved, then it would definitely be impossible to protect it.
She wrote down all the recipes, but ultimately rejected them all. In the end, she simply decided to create a face cream that could improve skin and whiten it.
That way it won't be too conspicuous, and the product is indeed useful. Besides, it's just a face cream, so I don't think anyone would be interested in it.
Those more noble than the Marquis's mansion wouldn't even consider a face cream, and those even less prestigious wouldn't dare to set their sights on it.
After thinking it through, I wrote out a face cream recipe. As long as you use it continuously for a week, you will see that it is indeed effective. Once it is effective, you will definitely continue to use it, and the effect will definitely get better and better in the future. What a great advertisement!
The other recipes she wrote down were simply stuffed into her spatial storage. Just because they couldn't be used in this world doesn't mean they couldn't be used in other worlds. If she ever became empress again, who would dare to covet her things?
After writing down the prescription, Tang Baozhu went straight back to her bedroom. When no one was paying attention, she took out a robot and a puppet from her spatial storage. She felt more at ease knowing that the two of them were working together.
He took out two invisibility talismans from his spatial storage and stuck them directly on them, allowing them to leave through the window.
They also remembered to give them the face cream recipe; they can just have him take it to the shop later.
However, we should wait a while until we are sure that the shop and all the scary indentures are in our hands before sending the robots and puppets to work in the shop.
The divine sense kept watching them until it was certain that they had left the Marquis's residence, at which point it withdrew its divine sense.
Today is almost time to collect dividends again. I think when Yong Xingchen comes back this evening, he should bring back this month's earnings, which will be a huge windfall. It's so great!
After finishing everything, I felt a bit idle. Since I was planning to ask Yong Xingchen to bring the child back in the afternoon, I decided to take advantage of the time to clean up the room next door.
Once our son returns, we can move in directly. Could you please bring the child back with you?
Tang Baozhu had no doubt about Yong Xingchen. Parents can never go against their children's wishes. As long as Yong Xingchen wanted to bring the child back, the two of them couldn't stop him.
All she needed to do was control Yong Xingchen; she didn't need to do anything else. She could just sit back and enjoy the fruits of her labor.
"Xia Ju, Xia Zhu, hurry up and tidy up the room next door. I need it. Don't forget to make up all the beds and other things."
"Yes, we'll go right away."
What Tang Baozhu was most satisfied with about her two maids was that they never asked too many questions about the things she gave them, but instead would carry out her requests very quickly.
