Chapter 349 Shower Gel
"Others might not even use it, and I don't even know what this stuff is. It sounds really strange." Jiang Mi always felt that the name of the shower gel was odd.
The system said: "It's good that you don't know; it would be strange if you did. Anyway, I've already taught you the method. It's up to you whether you want a peaceful life or something bigger."
Jiang Mi is definitely aiming for something big: shower gel. It sounds so novel. I wonder what it is. Maybe those wealthy people would prefer to use it.
"Okay, I will complete the mission."
The system reminded her: "Don't forget, you're bound to the 'Good Woman System.' You must always be a good woman and not ruin your reputation. Treat others well too."
Jiang Mi felt helpless. She had never taken this to heart. She would treat others the way they treated her. She didn't care about being a good woman.
After she finished talking to the system and arrived home, her whole family was waiting for her to come back. They didn't know what the situation was like in the palace, and their hearts were pounding with anxiety as they waited for Jiang Mi to return. Finally, they were able to welcome her back.
"Honey, my precious daughter, are you alright?" Mother Jiang hugged Jiang Mi tightly. She was terrified. They were just from the countryside and didn't know much about the local customs. She was afraid that Jiang Mi might say something wrong or do something to offend the Empress Dowager, which would have unimaginable consequences.
Back home, Jiang Mi felt much more relaxed. She always felt uncomfortable outside and had to follow the rules everywhere, which was really tiring.
"I'm fine. The Empress Dowager is a very kind person. She is very gentle and takes good care of me. She has also given me many gifts."
Before leaving, the Empress had someone bring Jiang Mi a lot of snacks, which were things that couldn't be found outside. She also rewarded Jiang Mi with a jade bracelet, which matched her jade hairpin perfectly.
"What are these? Are they a gift from the Empress Dowager?" Jiang's mother and the others looked at the things behind Jiang Mi with curiosity, so Jiang Mi had someone open the box of pastries.
"These are all palace snacks, they must be delicious, you should try them."
Jiang's mother was reluctant to eat it. She asked Jiang Mi, "Honey, why aren't you eating? You usually love snacks the most, and these are your favorite foods."
Jiang's mother wasn't very interested in these things anymore: "I've already eaten in the palace, these are just for you to try."
Hearing Jiang Mi say this, Jiang's mother and the others began to eat. After eating a few, Jiang's mother put them away and said, "This is good. I'll study it and see if I can learn to make it. Then we can make it ourselves whenever we want to eat it."
Su Yindi still wanted to eat, but when she heard what her mother said, she was somewhat dissatisfied. She guessed that her mother wanted to save these for Jiang Mi, but she stopped eating, not wanting to upset everyone.
"Mom, let's study it together. Anyway, we're just staying at home with nothing to do, so why not learn to do something? If I can make it delicious, maybe I can go out and start a business." Liang Lan also became interested. She also thought the pastry was very delicious. If she could learn how to make it, maybe she could go out and start a business.
Su Yindi couldn't help but laugh: "Oh my, you? Forget it. Do you think just anyone can do business? To do business, you need the skills and brains of Honey. I don't know if you have the skills, but you definitely don't have the brains."
Hearing Su Yindi mock her like that, Liang Lan felt very upset. She hadn't even done anything yet, and she was already being looked down upon like that. Although she knew she was no match for Jiang Mi, in every way, she wasn't as bad as Su Yindi made her out to be.
Jiang Mi quickly said, "That's not necessarily true. You can start with a small business and take it one step at a time. There's no such thing as getting fat overnight, and there's no such thing as instant success. Second sister-in-law, if you want to do it, then do it. I support you."
Liang Lan smiled at her; she was naturally grateful to have someone comfort and support her.
"I'd better finish making the desserts first; it's too early to talk about these things now."
Su Yindi actually wanted to make a lot of money. She had thought about working with Jiang Mi to earn money before. Putting aside everything else, with her relationship, she could easily earn a lot of money. However, she didn't want to show her face in public. She was a lady now, after all. What would it look like if she showed her face in public all day? It would be a laughing stock if people found out.
"Second sister-in-law, you're a person of status now. It's not good for you to do something like this. What if someone recognizes you as my second brother's wife? How embarrassing would that be for him? You don't want him to lose face, do you?"
Liang Lan's face turned pale instantly. She pursed her lips and remained silent, clearly unhappy.
Hearing this from the side, Jiang Xuan said gently, "Thank you for thinking of me, sister-in-law. I don't care about these things. As long as your second sister-in-law is happy, that's all that matters. She can do whatever she wants without worrying about so many things. Look at Honey, she's never restrained, and you're the same."
Su Yindi sighed: "It's easy for you to say. There's no such thing as a free lunch. You men are so carefree and don't care, but we women should always think about you, right?"
Liang Lan remained silent, clearly shaken. Jiang Mi, standing beside her, advised, "Third Sister-in-law, you're overthinking things. We should support whatever family members do. It's not like we're breaking any laws. Who says an official's wife can't do business? There's no such logic, and the country's regulations don't say that. You're just worrying unnecessarily. You're living your own life, not for others to see. Aren't you tired of living like this?"
Su Yindi could never win an argument with Jiang Mi, and said unhappily, "I'm not just thinking about myself, I'm doing it for everyone. If people spread bad rumors about Second Sister-in-law like this, it won't be good for her, it won't be good for Second Brother, and it won't be good for our Jiang family. I'm not wrong."
"Alright, alright, stop arguing. Is it really necessary to make such a fuss over such a small thing? We don't have that many rules in our family. You can do whatever you want." Jiang Cheng, who hadn't said a word for a while, suddenly opened his mouth, startling everyone.
Hearing Jiang Cheng say this, Liang Lan thanked him, saying, "Thank you for your support, Father."
Jiang Cheng simply waved his hand and went into his room. He was extremely bored these days, with nothing to do. If it weren't for his youngest daughter being there, he would have left long ago.
