I fulfilled the female supporting role's wish and I succeeded

The next day, the welfare home was bustling with activity.

Several gentlemen and masters arrived one after another, and the children watched curiously.

An old man stroked his beard and said to the children with a smile, "From today on, I will teach you how to read and write."

A carpenter showed the tools in his hand and warmly invited the children, "Children who want to learn carpentry, come to me."

An embroiderer took out colorful silk threads and gently said to the girls, "Children who want to learn embroidery, follow me."

The children were very excited and chose to learn the skills they were interested in.

As night falls, the lights are on.

When Lin Qinshuang returned to the mansion, the housekeeper immediately came to greet her.

"Ma'am," the housekeeper respectfully handed over an account book, "this is a detailed breakdown of the welfare home's expenses this month."

Lin Qinshuang took the account book and casually flipped through a few pages.

The account book is densely packed with records of various expenses, from the children's food, clothing, housing and transportation to the wages of teachers and masters, no matter how big or small.

Lin Qinshuang closed the account book and placed it gently on the table.

She raised her eyes to look at the housekeeper and said gently, "Housekeeper, don't worry about the money."

"Children are poor creatures, and we should do our best to take care of them."

The housekeeper looked embarrassed. "Madam is kind, but the expenses of this orphanage are increasing..."

Lin Qinshuang smiled slightly, "I know."

Her eyes were determined. "I will find ways to increase revenue and reduce expenditure to ensure the normal operation of the welfare home."

"Just take good care of the children and leave the rest to me."

The butler was moved and bowed deeply, "I obey your command."

Late at night, when everyone was asleep, Lin Qinshuang was sitting alone in the study.

Outside the window, the moonlight is like water, quietly sprinkling on the earth.

Lin Qinshuang held an exquisite jade hairpin in her hand, turning it gently.

She stared at the lily, her thoughts drifting away.

Although she had the Lin family's inheritance and the princess's salary, it was still a considerable expense to maintain the welfare home's operation in the long term.

She had to find a way to make money to ensure her children's future.

"What should I do?" Lin Qinshuang whispered to herself, frowning.

It was late at night and the study was silent, with only the occasional rustling of pages breaking the silence.

The moonlight shines through the window lattice, casting mottled light and shadows on the ground, like an ink painting.

Lin Qinshuang's slender fingers stroked the jade hairpin in her hand, and the cool touch made her thoughts clearer.

Suddenly, a faint fragrance entered her nostrils. It was the incense burning in the study.

The fragrance lifted her spirits, and an idea flashed through her mind: making incense!

The noble ladies in Bianjing were almost obsessed with spices. If she could develop unique perfumes and skin care products, she would definitely be able to open up sales.

Her eyes lit up, as if she had grabbed a life-saving straw.

Yes, she could use the knowledge she had accumulated in her past life, combined with the spices of this era, to create a unique product.

Thinking of this, a fire ignited in Lin Qinshuang's heart, dispelling her previous anxiety and confusion.

She stood up and walked to the desk, spread out the rice paper, and began to record her thoughts.

She wants to develop perfumes with different scents, such as fresh floral scents, rich woody scents, mysterious oriental scents, etc.

In addition to perfumes, she also develops various skin care products, such as whitening, moisturizing, anti-wrinkle, etc.

She wanted to drive the noble ladies in Bianjing crazy and make them willingly pay money.

The next morning, Lin Qinshuang got up early, washed and dressed, and then asked the maid to invite Zhou Xuenniang.

Zhou Xuenniang was Lin Qinshuang's maidservant and one of the people she trusted the most.

"Xue Niang," Lin Qinshuang dismissed her attendants and said solemnly, "I have an important task for you."

Zhou Xueniang bowed her head respectfully, "Madam, please give your instructions."

Lin Qinshuang told Zhou Xuenniang her plan in detail and took out the design drawings she had drawn.

"I want you to change the name of my spice shop to Yuyantang, specializing in selling perfumes, ointments, and skin care products."

Zhou Xuenniang looked at the exquisite bottles and jars on the drawings, as well as the various novel product names, her heart filled with curiosity and anticipation.

"Madam, can these things really be sold?"

Lin Qinshuang smiled confidently, "Of course, the noble ladies in Bianjing love these novelties the most."

"Just follow my instructions and don't worry about anything else."

Zhou Xuenniang took the order and left, immediately beginning to arrange the renovation of Yuyan Hall.

She recruited experienced craftsmen and built a magnificent shop according to Lin Qinshuang's design drawings.

She also hired professional perfumers and perfume makers to carefully develop various products according to the recipes provided by Lin Qinshuang.

After several months of preparation, Yuyan Hall finally opened.

On the opening day, the store was crowded with people and it was very lively.

Various aromas filled the air, attracting the attention of countless passers-by.

As soon as Yuyantang's products were launched on the market, they were enthusiastically sought after by the noble ladies in Bianjing.

Some products are even worth a fortune and have become a symbol of identity and status.

Lin Qinshuang's Yuyantang business was booming, bringing her a steady stream of wealth.

Just when Lin Qinshuang was busy with the business of Yuyan Hall, news came from the Earl's Mansion that Wei Shuyi was about to give birth.

When Lin Qinshuang heard the news, she was shocked. She almost forgot about the Sheng family.

"I understand. I'll go over after I wash up." Lin Qinshuang said to the maid who came to report the news.

She felt a little guilty. She had been busy with the welfare home and Yuyan Hall during this period and paid too little attention to the affairs of the Sheng family.

She hurriedly washed and dressed, and rushed to the Earl's mansion with her maid and gifts.

When she arrived at the Earl's Mansion, Wei Shuyi had not yet given birth.

Lin Qinshuang came to Wei Shuyi's room and saw Madam Wang Ruofu pacing back and forth anxiously.

"Madam, have you told the master?" Lin Qinshuang asked with concern, "What did the midwife say?"

Wang Ruofu seemed to have found her backbone when she saw Lin Qinshuang, and she quickly said, "When Wei Xiaoniang started the attack, I went to report it to the master, but the master happened to be out today and hasn't returned yet."

"The midwife said this is the first child, so it will take some time. Sister Shuang'er, don't worry."

Lin Qinshuang nodded, held Wang Ruofu's hand, and comforted her, "Don't worry, Madam. Everything will go well."

Although she was a little worried, she tried to remain calm, hoping to give Wang Ruofu some comfort.

The room was filled with a faint smell of blood, mixed with the bitterness of medicinal herbs, which made people feel depressed and uneasy.

Lin Qinshuang sat quietly by the side, waiting for the birth of the child.

As time passed, Wei Shuyi's moans became louder and louder, making people feel distressed.
