At the end of the day, the sales of the rouge shop far exceeded expectations. Qinghe returned home in the evening and told her parents about the store's sales.

"This is truly an unprecedented grand occasion!" Qin said with emotion.

"Yes, if we continue like this, our business will become more and more prosperous!" Shangguan Jing said with a smile.

"Yeah, I didn't expect it to be so popular today. The Chinese New Year is coming soon, and we have to prepare some more goods. We can't stop making soap bars."

"Okay, don't worry. We can make more than a thousand pieces a day now. After the Chinese New Year, Dad will organize people to go out and sell the soaps, and try to sell them all over the country as soon as possible."

"Then I'll have to trouble you from now on, Dad."

Thinking of Fourth Uncle, Qing He said, "How is Fourth Uncle today? Did he get up and move around?"

Qin replied, "Your fourth uncle is much better today. He got up and moved around for a while and he seems to be in good spirits."

Shangguan Jing said:

“Speaking of your fourth uncle, there is one more thing.

The young lady Sheng who your fourth uncle saved earlier made chicken soup herself today and brought a lot of gifts to visit your fourth uncle."

Qing He was surprised and said, "Oh? It seems that Miss Sheng is a person who knows how to repay kindness."

Qin continued, "That's right. Miss Sheng is very pretty and well-mannered. She looks like a good match for your fourth uncle."

Qing He covered her mouth and laughed, "Mom, you are thinking too far ahead."

Qin said, "Qinghe, mother didn't think much about it. When Miss Sheng was talking to your fourth uncle today, they exchanged glances and their faces blushed for a long time. Do you think they have a crush on each other?"

Qing He raised an eyebrow and jokingly said, "Really? Mom, you can see all this?"

Shangguan Jing also laughed: "Madam, you have observed carefully. If this is true, it is a good thing. A few days ago, you said you wanted to arrange a marriage for your fourth uncle. I didn't expect that it would be so soon!"

Qin smiled and said, "I think it's probably right. It depends on how it develops later."

Qinghe said:

"Then let's wait and see. Maybe soon, there will be a wedding at home. I'll go and find out what Fourth Uncle has to say."

Qinghe came to her fourth uncle's yard, where he was sitting at the table reading a book.

"Fourth Uncle, let me see how your wound is recovering." Qinghe said.

Fourth Uncle put down the book and said with a smile, "Thank you He'er. How is the business at the Rouge Shop today?"

As Qing He inspected the store, he said, "With your niece's help, the store's business is of course very good."

"Uncle Four knew that you could do it."

"Today, I did as you said and moved around in the yard for a while. Uncle Si felt that I might be getting better soon. After taking the medicine you gave me, Uncle Si felt that his wound had scabbed over and was a little itchy."

Qing He said, "Yes, Fourth Uncle, your wound is healing well and will be healed in a few days."

Fourth uncle nodded, "That's good."

Qing He rolled his eyes and said casually, "Fourth Uncle, Miss Sheng came to see you today. I see that she cares about you very much."

Fourth Uncle's face turned slightly red. "Don't talk nonsense. He just came to thank me for saving his life."

Qing He pursed her lips and smiled, "Fourth Uncle, I'm not talking nonsense. When I see you and Miss Sheng standing together, you are really a perfect match."

Fourth uncle coughed lightly, "He'er, stop teasing me. Miss Sheng's father is the Minister of Industry, and I'm just a peasant. How can I be worthy of their daughter?"

Qing He pulled Fourth Uncle's arm and said coquettishly:

"Uncle, I'm not teasing you.

Fourth uncle, I really think Miss Sheng is great, what do you think of her?"

Fourth uncle hesitated for a moment and said, "Miss Sheng is indeed a good girl, but... I'm afraid I'm not worthy of her."

Qing He said quickly:

"Fourth Uncle, what are you talking about? You are kind and brave, treat others sincerely, and are willing to sacrifice yourself for others. How can you not be worthy of me?"

Fourth uncle sighed, "I don't have any official position now, I'm afraid of wronging others."

Qing He comforted him, “Fourth Uncle, as long as you and Miss Sheng really like each other, these are not a problem.

The emperor said that after the new year, you and your father will manage the farming together.

Food is the most important thing for people. I believe that if you make achievements, the emperor will value you and you will have a bright future.

And I don’t think Miss Sheng is the kind of person who values ​​fame and fortune.”

Fourth Uncle was silent for a moment, then said, "He'er, let me think about it again."

Qing He knew that Fourth Uncle was somewhat relieved, and said with a smile:

"Okay, Fourth Uncle, take your time to think about it, but don't miss this good marriage." After saying that, she left Fourth Uncle's yard.

A few days later, when it was time for Mrs. Sheng's follow-up examination, Baili Ye and Qinghe arrived at the Sheng Mansion.

The two arrived at the Sheng Mansion, and Lord Sheng and Miss Sheng greeted them at the door.

"Your humble servant greets Princess An Ning and Prince Chen."

"Your humble servant greets Princess An Ning and Prince Chen."

Qing He smiled and said, "Master Sheng, Miss Sheng, there is no need to be polite. Today I am here to review Madam Sheng's return to the mansion."

"Princess, thank you for your hard work." Lord Sheng said.

Qing He smiled slightly and said, "You are too polite. How is Madam Sheng these days?"

Shanda people replied:

"My wife has been in good condition these days. I would like to thank the princess for saving my life. If it weren't for your help, our family would have been torn apart." As he spoke, his voice trembled slightly, and there were even tears in the corners of his eyes.

"I'm very happy to be able to help you." Qinghe said, and then she and Baili Ye entered the mansion together under the guidance of Lord Sheng and Miss Sheng.

Everyone came to Madam Sheng's room and saw Madam Sheng sitting on the bed, covered with a brocade quilt embroidered with exquisite patterns.

Her face was full of excitement and anticipation, and her eyes were looking at the door eagerly.

Seeing Qinghe coming in, Mrs. Sheng was so excited that she was about to stand up and kneel down to express her gratitude. Qinghe quickly stepped forward and stretched out her hands to gently stop her.

"Mrs. Sheng, there's no need to be so polite. Let me check on you and see how you are recovering."

Qinghe said as she gently helped Madam Sheng sit down.

Her fingers were slender and warm. They covered Mrs. Sheng's pulse and turned on the space medical system at the same time. Soon, Qinghe showed a satisfied look.

Qinghe also carefully asked about Mrs. Sheng's diet and sleep, asking every question in detail and with concern, and got satisfactory answers.

Qing He said to the others:

"Mrs. Sheng is recovering very well. As long as she continues to follow the previous recuperation methods, she will be fully recovered within a month." Qinghe said, with a hint of relief in her voice.

Madam Sheng said gratefully: "Thank you, Princess. This is all thanks to your miraculous healing skills."

Qing He smiled modestly and said, "Madam, you are too kind. This is my responsibility. I am also very pleased to see that you have recovered so well."

Qinghe smiled modestly and was about to say something else, but she saw Miss Sheng standing beside her, with a look of shyness and expectation on her face.

Qing He understood what he meant and said:

"Miss Sheng, have the scratches you had that day healed? How is Master Sheng's injury?"

Miss Sheng replied softly, "Thank you for your concern, my brother and I have recovered from our injuries. It was thanks to the Fourth Master who risked his life to save us that day. I am very grateful."

Qing He smiled slightly and said, "My fourth uncle has always been a chivalrous man. He will definitely not stand idly by when encountering danger."

After hearing this, Madam Sheng asked with concern, "I wonder how the Fourth Master's injury is now?"

Qing He replied, "Madam, don't worry. Fourth Uncle's injury is not serious. He will recover after some rest."

Mrs. Sheng nodded gently, with a hint of relief in her eyes.

"Someday, I will bring my daughter and son to thank you for saving my life."

Qing He continued:

“Madam Sheng, my fourth uncle does good things without asking for anything in return.

Fourth Uncle often mentioned that he felt honored to have saved Miss Sheng and Master Sheng that day. "

Miss Sheng blushed slightly and lowered her head in silence.

Mrs. Sheng saw this and seemed to have some thoughts in her mind.

"My life has been full of misfortunes. I have always been in poor health, and Xuan'er has delayed getting married in order to take care of me.

After finally waiting for the wedding, her grandmother passed away. The other party did not want to wait until the mourning period was over and proposed to cancel the engagement.

That would be fine, but I didn’t expect that Aunt Cui would not only murder me but also take Xuan’er and Cheng’er’s lives in order to gain power.”

Madam Sheng wiped her tears as she spoke, realizing that she had lost her composure and quickly apologized:

"My Lord, I am sorry to tell you these upsetting things."

Qing He was moved when he heard this:

"I didn't expect that Madam's illness was caused by Aunt Cui. It's true that since ancient times, there has always been fighting in the harem."

Madam Sheng sighed lightly and continued:

"That Concubine Cui is extremely vicious. She used all means to marry the master, and after she got married, she wanted to replace me.

When I was pregnant, she deliberately created many problems in front of me to disturb my mind, causing me to have a miscarriage.

At this point, Madam Sheng's eyes were filled with pain and resentment, and her voice trembled slightly:

"She still refused to give up, and got some slow-acting poison from somewhere, and secretly put it in my food and drink, hoping to slowly torture me and let me die without anyone noticing.

If it weren't for you, Princess, reminding my husband, I'm afraid Aunt Cui would have gotten what she wanted soon.

Princess, you are the lucky star of our family!"

"That day, when I heard about the matter between Miss Sheng and Master Sheng, I felt that something was wrong, so I reminded Master Sheng. I didn't expect that I guessed it right."

“This is all because of the princess’ wisdom.

You don’t know, but what’s even more terrifying about this woman is that this time she actually hired a killer to take Xuan’er and Cheng’er’s lives.

If the Fourth Master hadn’t passed by and helped, I’m afraid my two children would have met with an accident long ago.

She is so cruel and merciless that she doesn't care about other people's lives for the position of mistress."

Qing He held Madam Sheng's hand tightly and comforted her:

"Madam, please don't be too sad. Now that Aunt Cui's evil deeds have been exposed, I believe she will definitely receive the punishment she deserves."

Madam Sheng nodded, with a hint of determination in her eyes:

"Thank goodness, this evil woman's plot failed. My husband has handed her and her accomplices over to the authorities.

I just feel pity for my unborn child and the suffering my children and I have endured over the years."

Miss Sheng stepped forward and comforted her: "Mother, please don't be sad anymore."

Qing He comforted her, "Madam, you have been through a lot, but you will surely have a happy ending in the future. I believe that after these twists and turns, the Sheng family will return to its former peace and tranquility."

Madam Sheng nodded slightly and said with emotion:

"Now things are finally back on track, but what worries me most is Xuan'er's marriage.

After going through so many twists and turns, Xuan'er's reputation has been affected to some extent, and I don't know if she can find a satisfactory marriage in the future."

Qing He comforted:

"Madam, don't worry too much. Miss Sheng is well-educated, gentle and virtuous. This experience has further demonstrated her tenacity. She will definitely find a good match."

Madam Sheng sighed softly:

"I hope so. But this delay has lasted for several years. Now Xuan'er is already eighteen years old. It may not be easy for her to find a suitable husband."

Miss Sheng shyly stopped her mother and said:

"Mother, please don't say any more. Marriage cannot be forced. I believe that there will always be my own destiny."

Qing He also echoed:

“Miss Sheng is absolutely right, Madam, just relax, when the time comes, everything will work out.

Madam, you might as well pay more attention to families with good character and clean family traditions.

Fate is something that comes when it is said. I believe that a good fate will come to you soon, Miss Sheng."

A glimmer of hope flashed in Madam Sheng's eyes:

"With your good words, if Xuan'er can find a good home, I can finally put my worries to rest."

Qing He smiled gently and said, "Madam, to be honest, my parents are also looking for a girl for my fourth uncle."

Madam Sheng was slightly startled, then said, "The Fourth Master is a hero who saves a beautiful girl. I think he is also a man of good character and will definitely find a good match."

Qing He continued, "My fourth uncle is an upright and generous person, but he has never found a marriage partner. My parents are very worried about this."

Miss Sheng unconsciously looked up at Qinghe, then quickly lowered her head.

Qing He continued, "I just don't know what Fourth Uncle is thinking. He doesn't really care about the matchmaking arranged by our parents."

Madam Sheng said, "This marriage still depends on fate. The Fourth Master may have his own standards in mind."

Qing He nodded and said, "Madam, what you said makes sense. I saw that after Fourth Uncle saved Miss Sheng and Young Master Sheng that day, and after Miss Sheng came to thank him, Fourth Uncle mentioned them from time to time. It seems that he cares about them very much."

After hearing this, Mrs. Sheng looked at her daughter thoughtfully, and Miss Sheng's face instantly turned red again.

Madam Sheng's heart moved, and she smiled and said, "I guess this is the fate between the Fourth Master and my Sheng family."

Qing He smiled and replied:

"Of course. To be honest, my fourth uncle has always had a good relationship with my parents. He was brought up by my parents when he was young. He is sincere and responsible.

I think I have a good relationship with Miss Sheng, what do you think, Madam?"

Madam Sheng hesitated for a moment and said:

“The Fourth Master is the lifesaver of my two children, so his character is naturally noble.

It’s just that Prince Jing’s family is too high-class, so he is destined to have more than just one wife.

To be honest with you, Princess, after what happened, I just want Xuan'er to find someone who truly loves her, even if he is not from a high-class family, as long as they can be together for the rest of their lives."
