Favoring concubines and ignoring wives? The mistress of the marquisate remarried a powerful official

Mother Shen, who was beside Wu Junrou, was an old lady who had accompanied Fang to her marriage several decades ago. Now she was a capable person by Wu Junrou's side. Not long after, she came up with a good idea for Wu Junrou.

Mother Shen placed the rouge she had found on the table, looked at Wu Junrou and said, "Madam, look, this is a good thing."

Wu Junrou picked up the rouge box on the table and opened it. She saw that it was full of bright rouge, and there was nothing strange about it. Wu Junrou looked at the rouge and asked in surprise, "What kind of rouge did mom find? Is there any other use for it?"

Seeing this, Mother Shen stepped forward and explained, "Madam, you don't know, my husband is a well-connected person, and he went to find good stuff for you. This rouge looks the same as normal rouge, and it even smells better. This is because it is mixed with a herb called Five Elements Grass. This Five Elements Grass is the most taboo thing for pregnant women. If anyone eats it, I'm afraid they will miscarry soon. Now this rouge is mixed with 100% Five Elements Grass. If a pregnant woman doesn't know this, and applies this rouge on her lips every day, and it goes into her stomach with food, I'm afraid it won't be long before the fetus is safe."

Seeing the box of rouge in front of her, Wu Junrou also laughed out loud and said to Mother Shen, "After all, none of the servants around me are as capable as you. You have never let me down. If such a good thing is given to Song Wanning, it will not be easy to find out if something happens to her."

Wu Junrou closed the rouge box in her hand, and heard Mother Shen echoing, "Madam, although the item has been found, there are still some details to consider in how to deliver it to the dresser in the Prime Minister's Mansion so that she can use it with peace of mind. All I can do is help you find the item, but the rest of the ideas are not something I can interfere with."

"I understand what you said." Wu Junrou looked indifferent, and just looked at Mother Shen and said slowly, "I heard that the one in the Prime Minister's Mansion is a close friend of her sister-in-law, and her sister-in-law is a simple person. In this case, why not start with her and get rid of her with a borrowed knife."

After hearing what Wu Junrou said, Mother Shen immediately praised, "Madam is really far-sighted. Now that we have such a medicine, why not give a portion to Yuan Xian's courtyard so that she can be completely infertile and relieve Madam of her worries."

"No matter how capable Yuan Xian is, she is still a concubine of low birth and can't make any waves. I have asked people to put other drugs in her food a long time ago. I am afraid that she will never be able to have a child in this life." Wu Junrou looked at Mother Shen and continued, "Now the Prime Minister's Mansion is more important than the family. Who would have known that this second-married woman would be pregnant in such a short time? If she really gave birth to a legitimate son, it would be a real disaster. If Yi Chen had not been cunning since he was a child, and knew how to take advantage of the family property at a young age, how could all that wealth be in the Prime Minister's Mansion? The wealth of the Prime Minister's Mansion is now probably surpassing that of the Yan family, the richest family in Beijing. Such overwhelming wealth is not something that the couple can afford. We have done so much for Yi Chen over the years. Even if we have no merits, we have worked hard. Who knew that he would be so conscienceless and say that he would split the family. Over the years, he has not cared about the affairs of our mansion at all."

Mother Shen also sighed at the side, "Who knew that the Prime Minister was such a difficult child to raise. If I had known, I would have taken advantage of his childhood... But he is so lucky that no matter how many ways Madam tried, she still couldn't get him."

"It's too late to say anything now. Don't mention his childhood. Don't let anyone with ulterior motives hear it and let the Prime Minister's Office know anything." Wu Junrou coughed, "After all, just finish what you have to do now, and don't worry about the rest."

As Wu Junrou spoke, she held the rouge box in her hand and played with it, saying softly, "I heard before that Madam Lu of the Lu family has always liked rouge and powder. For this kind of rouge, it would be better to first find Madam Xu's handkerchief and ask Madam Liu to give it to Madam Lu, and then pass it to Lu Zijun."

Seeing that Wu Junrou had so many twists and turns in her mind, Mother Shen immediately said, "Madam, you are far-sighted. In this case, I will help you to pack a carriage to visit Madam Xu at the Xu Mansion."

"Go."

Wu Junrou's plan was cautious. After hearing Wu Junrou's plan, Madam Xu spared no effort to deceive Madam Liu, saying that she would give her a chance to please Madam Lu. She also secretly suggested that she go when Lu Zijun was around, and maybe she could take the opportunity to please Song Wanning of the Prime Minister's Mansion.

The Liu family now needs to please the Lu family, because Mrs. Liu's husband is now working under Mr. Lu, so naturally he has to do his best. Mrs. Xu gave her this good thing, and Mrs. Liu couldn't help but go to the Lu Mansion to visit Mrs. Lu.

However, the color of this rouge was a little too bright, and Mrs. Lu could not use it herself, so she gave it to Lu Zijun who came to visit her.

Lu Zijun looked at the rouge box and was quite surprised. "How can the rouge in the usual rouge shop have such bright colors? It looks beautiful."

Madam Liu, who was standing by, explained, "It's not easy to get a small box like this. I heard there are dozens of ingredients in it. It looks even better when applied on the lips. Miss Zijun's skin is whiter than snow. I'm afraid if she applies it on her lips, she will look better than Xi Shi and Diao Chan."

"I am just an ordinary person, and I am not fair-skinned. I am afraid that if I put on such bright rouge, I will look even more vulgar." Lu Zijun looked at the rouge in her hand with regret. "It's a pity to waste such a good thing. It looks so rare."

Madam Liu saw this and tried to comfort herself awkwardly, "If Miss Zijun can't apply such beautiful rouge, who else in the world can use such rouge?"

Madam Liu's words actually enlightened Lu Zijun. She laughed out loud and said, "There is someone in this world who would look good with this rouge. Wan Ning from the Prime Minister's Mansion has skin as white as cream and a face as beautiful as a flower. If she puts this on, she would be like a fairy from heaven. I think this kind of rouge is perfect for her."

Madam Liu and Madam Lu also laughed after hearing this. Madam Lu looked at Lu Zijun and said dotingly, "You have always been on good terms with her, and you are her sister-in-law. Since you said that she looks good in it, just give it to her."
