The other ladies felt itchy when they thought about the taste of the longevity cake.
After they returned home, they privately asked the cook and the nanny, but unfortunately, the nanny didn't even know what longevity cake was, let alone how to make it.
I don’t know where Chen Wei got the pastries from, they are so exquisite and beautiful. I heard that you can make wishes and pray for blessings with them.
Miss Zi Yi continued with a sour feeling in her heart: "Miss Shen is naturally different. She has many tricks, and is doted on by Marquis Xie. I really don't know what is so good about her that she deserves such love from the Marquis."
"She made so many jokes in the capital before, but Lord Xie didn't seem to dislike her. Now he's making some longevity cakes again."
"A good and decent girl doesn't stay at home, but comes out to embarrass herself."
Miss Ziyi's words resonated with everyone present.
Everyone's face was not very happy, and they said with envy and awkwardness: "I heard that it was a country girl brought back from the border, and she bewitched Lord Xie."
"I don't know how she did it, or what methods she used. Why don't we have this blessing?"
"Yes, in terms of status, we are superior to her. In terms of knowledge, we are three times better than her. In terms of etiquette and women's virtues, she...she...I really don't understand."
"How is Miss Shen better than us? Why did she get such a good fortune?"
The other sisters nodded in agreement.
They were of noble birth, so naturally they looked down on country girls like Chen Wei.
But they have to admit that they actually envy Chen Wei in their hearts, and even hope to become a lucky person like Chen Wei.
Everyone in the capital knows how good Xie Yuchuan is to Chen Wei.
He wished he could pick the moon from the sky and give it to Chen Wei. Who wouldn't want such an infatuated man?
In this era of blind marriages, it is rare for a couple to live in harmony, let alone the utmost love and affection, which basically only exists in fantasy.
Moreover, the man who dotes on his wife is a powerful and wealthy marquis.
This made them feel that God was blind. How could he pair two people with such different identities and statuses together?
Why don’t I have this blessing?
at the same time.
In another mansion.
The young lady from a wealthy family, dressed in gold brocade, sighed silently after hearing the information reported by the maid: "If that's the case, then forget it."
"The longevity cake I tasted at the Marquis' Mansion yesterday was indeed delicious and special. Even the maids at home couldn't make it, so only Miss Shen had the recipe."
"I originally wanted you to buy some secretly."
"But now, I'm the target of public criticism. If those sisters find out, they will definitely gossip about me. I can't get involved with someone like Miss Shen."
"Forget it. I don't want to think about it anymore."
Miss Gaomen could only suppress her inner desire. No matter how special and delicious the longevity cake was, she only dared to buy it secretly. She would give up the idea if there was any risk of being gossiped about.
After all, all the noble families in the capital have tacitly agreed to stay away from women like Chen Wei who are always in the spotlight.
So far——
The young ladies from various mansions were all waiting and watching, and none of them dared to be the first to take action, let alone send their servants to buy it openly.
When this news reached the Prime Minister's Mansion.
When Miss Lu learned that the longevity cake shop was opening, she put on the curtain without saying a word and prepared to go to the East Street shop.
The maid followed Miss Lu closely and advised worriedly: "Miss, no, no, Madam asked you not to get too close to Miss Shen yesterday."
"You are an unmarried woman after all. If you go out often, it will be bad for your reputation."
"What's more, something like that happened in the Marquis' Mansion yesterday. I also heard that the divorced Concubine Zhao is in the shop right now. If you go there, you will definitely be subject to gossip."
Miss Lu paused.
Turn your head,
Looking at the anxious maid, he said seriously: "Bad reputation? If it weren't for Miss Shen who saved me several times, what reputation would I have now?"
"Yesterday at the Marquis' Mansion, I was concerned about the Prime Minister's reputation and didn't dare to stand up and admit it."
“It was Miss Zhao and Miss Shen. They helped me.”
"If it weren't for this, I, your daughter, would have no face to face the world. Please stop talking. I must go today. Even if mother blames me, I don't care."
Ms. Lu knows the importance of opening a business.
Now, all the officials and nobles in the capital must be waiting to see Chen Wei make a fool of himself.
Others can laugh at it, or treat it as a joke, but she can't!
If she still stayed in the Prime Minister's residence, pretending to know nothing and avoiding him, would she still be a human being? Wouldn't she be ungrateful?
“Da da da…”
Not long after.
The prime minister's carriage arrived outside Chen Wei's shop.
Miss Lu didn't even need to lift the car curtain to see. Just by hearing the shouting outside, she knew how many people had gathered in the store to watch.
