Chapter 343: Madam Zeng shows goodwill
Xu Zhichun: "There are four scents in total: rose, jasmine, lavender, and orange blossom. I think they all smell good. I don't know if Madam Qin likes them."
"so much!"
The ladies were so envious.
Madam Qin was even more delighted and nodded quickly, "I like it, of course I don't like it! After all, it's Madam Shanci who can buy such a good thing. We may not be able to find it if we want it normally."
"yes!"
"That's true."
"As expected of Madam Shanci, I really envy Madam Qin."
"Who wouldn't envy this? There are so many."
So many floral essential oils, sounds so desirable.
For a moment, everyone's eyes lit up as they looked at the bottles of essential oils.
The ladies and young ladies thought to themselves that they would find a chance to ask Madam Shanci privately later if there was such a good thing. If there was, they would ask her to help get a bottle for themselves. Even if it wasn't as big as Madam Qin's, it would be fine.
I don't ask for it for nothing, just give me some money.
I will make sure that Madam Shanci will not suffer any loss.
Madam Qin quickly told someone to put it away carefully, "Be careful not to bump into anything."
The maid quickly responded, cautiously.
When the maid tried to take the small porcelain bottle from Qin Xiuhe's hand, Qin Xiuhe subconsciously clenched her fist. The maid became even more timid and gritted her teeth and used more strength to take the small porcelain bottle. Qin Xiuhe glared at her unhappily.
Qin Xiuhe was almost depressed to death.
Her original intention was to embarrass Xu Zhichun, but she didn't expect that she could come up with so many floral essential oils, which made her stand out.
This is floral essential oil, who doesn’t want it?
"Madam Xu, you really can't judge a person by his appearance," Qin Xiuhe said with a sour laugh. "I wonder if Madam Xu has any extra essential oils. Thanks to my sister-in-law, if Madam Xu still has some, how about giving me two bottles? Madam Xu, it's not for nothing. I'll pay for it."
The other ladies all looked at Xu Zhichun at once, eager to try it out. If Xu Zhichun said there was one, they would want it too.
It was impossible for Xu Zhichun to steal the limelight from Mrs. Qin in such an occasion and make Mrs. Qin's birthday party a mess.
Moreover, she also realized that essential oils were even rarer than she had expected. Giving four bottles to Mrs. Qin was already a very generous gift. If she could just casually give out more, it would arouse too much suspicion.
Xu Zhichun smiled and shook his head: "I'm really sorry, there are no extra ones."
Qin Xiuhe felt that she was being targeted.
"Mrs. Xu sold four bottles at once. I thought she must have some left, but there's none left? Can't she even get two bottles?"
"This is all I have. Madam Qin deserves it, so I'm giving it to her. Is there anything unreasonable about this? I do have two bottles, but they are for my own use. Aunt Qin is very powerful, so you should find another way to buy them from somewhere else."
Qin Xiuhe: “.”
Mrs. Qin quickly smiled and said, "Let's go enjoy the peonies. They are in excellent bloom, and if you miss the blooming season, you won't be able to see them anymore!"
"Yes, yes, let's go see the peonies!"
Everyone laughed, and they were afraid that Qin Xiuhe would say something she shouldn't say, so they all stood up and laughed and agreed.
Mrs. Qin personally invited Xu Zhichun and stayed with him, and everyone went out together.
Qin Xiuhe fell behind the crowd, gritted her teeth, thought about it, and finally followed.
Everyone else is going, why shouldn't she go?
Didn't my sister-in-law get four bottles of essential oil? I'll ask her to give half to me later.
The Qin Family Garden was large, beautiful, and exquisite. Everyone admired the peonies, praised them highly, and took a walk in the garden.
Xu Zhichun entertained guests for a while and took a break with Nanny Qin Qing and Muxiang. Everyone was tactful and didn't come forward.
Madam Zeng Dashao finally waited until there was no one around Xu Zhichun. After hesitating for a moment, she still went forward to greet him.
She was afraid that she would not have the chance to talk alone for a while.
"Mrs. Xu!"
Xu Zhichun suddenly became alert, nodded slightly, and said politely, "Mrs. Zeng."
Madam Zeng smiled bitterly to herself. It was right for Madam Xu to be wary of her.
He was very polite as he didn't frown and sneer at her to drive her away.
"The Zeng family has wronged Madam Xu and Xiaoyan, and I don't dare to shamelessly ask Madam Xu for forgiveness. I just want to tell Madam Xu that as long as I am in charge, the Zeng family will never do anything to hurt Madam Xu and Xiaoyan again, and I will definitely work hard to keep the headship."
"It doesn't matter if Madam Xu doesn't believe it now. Just watch."
After saying this, Madam Zeng bowed and took her leave.
Xu Zhichun was still a little confused.
Nanny Qin Qing smiled and said, "The Zeng family has someone who understands. If this young lady can continue to be the head of the family, then the Zeng family will not be extinct."
Xu Zhichun: "Mammy is right."
However, it wasn't Madam Zeng who had the final say on whether to be the head of the household or not; it was Master Zeng who had the final say. So, it would depend on her ability to keep Madam Zeng in check.
Nanny Qin Qing continued, "Mrs. Zeng has a pair of children. Even for the sake of the children, she naturally knows what is best to do."
Xu Zhichun understood, no wonder.
Zeng Mingzhu's life was completely over. Madam Zeng had been claiming to be "recuperating," and if Madam Zeng Da Shao had the ability, she could have allowed her to continue to be so. If she could keep her distance from the Zeng family, that would be fine.
The Qin family held a banquet at noon. After everyone had eaten, Mrs. Qin invited everyone to watch a play together.
On Mrs. Qin's birthday, there will be three consecutive days of performances. Accommodation will be arranged for all relatives and friends, both near and far. Except for a few who cannot leave their homes and go back that night, most of them plan to stay for two or three days to have fun before leaving.
Xu Zhichun didn't want to join in the fun, so he planned to watch the show for half a day and go back after dinner.
She didn't expect that she would be ambushed in just half a day.
Fortunately, she has always been cautious, especially in situations where there are many people around.
Before coming here today, she repeatedly told Nanny Qin Qing and Muxiang to be alert and vigilant as well.
As soon as Xu Zhichun came out of the bathroom, she was attacked from behind and knocked unconscious. When she realized what was happening, it was too late and she fainted.
Two strong maids carried her stealthily and hurriedly towards a secluded place, but they didn't expect that all this was seen by Muxiang.
Muxiang is diligent and attentive. He knows that he comes from a humble background and is young, and that there is so much he needs to learn. If he does not work hard, what will happen if his wife has other useful people around her in the future?
So she put her full attention into learning anything Xu Zhichun and Nanny Qin Qing instructed her to do.
Xu Zhichun said that they should be careful and alert today, so she was careful and alert the whole time, staring at her wife openly and secretly, fearing that her wife would be harmed by someone.
She didn't care whether it was the Qin family, with whom the Madam was on good terms, or some other family. The Madam had already told her to be careful and alert, so there must be someone who wanted to harm the Madam - anyway, it couldn't be her or Nanny Qin Qing. They were just two servants, so why would they harm them?
