After entering the book, the cold prince begs for favor

Lu Yun was a little angry. What was wrong with this servant of the Cao family? He delivered the wrong gift to her sister-in-law yesterday, and today he soiled her clothes. He was too useless.

"Sister-in-law, are you burned?"

Lu Miao also looked at the water stain on her waist with worried eyes: "Summer clothes are thin, it will be bad if they get burned."

Yuan Wanru shook her head and comforted them: "Don't worry, the tea is warm, I'm fine."

However, light blue is not resistant to stains, and the obvious tea stains spread across her clothes, which was uncomfortable and inappropriate.

Hearing that she wasn't burned, Cao Lanzhi breathed a sigh of relief and pointed at the matcha stain: "Fortunately, it's okay. It's just that my clothes have to be changed since they're wet."

Cao Lanxin felt even more guilty. "It's all my fault for being so useless. I've offended my cousin's wife. If you don't mind, I have a new dress I haven't put on yet. How about I go into the inner room and change into it?"

"Yesterday at Tinglan Waterside Pavilion, my cousin's wife left us and we haven't tasted the fragrance yet. My cousin's wife must not leave so early."

The latter sentence was said jokingly and casually, and the atmosphere immediately eased.

Liang Yusong and others also tried to persuade her to stay. They all advised her to go to the inner room to change clothes and did not let her go back to Lingshuiju.

Although everyone in the house is related, Lu Yun felt that she and Yuan Wanru were both from the eldest wife's family, and their relationship was closer than others. She also didn't want Yuan Wanru to leave early, so she joined the ranks of those who tried to persuade her.

Yuan Wanru smiled without saying anything. She had already made up her mind. After they had finished talking, she went into the inner room.

Cao Lanxin took out a newly cut dress and left. Only Yuan Wanru and Liu Yan were left in the room.

The master and servant smiled at each other, changed their clothes as if nothing had happened, and after about a quarter of an hour, they left the inner room.

Liang Yusong was the first to see Yuan Wanru, who had changed into clean clothes.

Cao Lanxin and Yuan Wanru are about the same height, but Yuan Wanru is a little fuller than Cao Lanxin. Her clothes are slightly tighter on the back, which makes her slender waist look even more slender and her breasts look even more undulating.

Liang Yusong's breasts were also slightly flat. She looked at Yuan Wanru's raised waves calmly, with complex emotions flashing in her eyes.

The Cao sisters obviously didn't notice this. They looked at each other, knowing the excitement in each other's eyes. Cao Lanxin picked up the teacup and took a sip. The tea she chose today was good and the fragrance was wonderful.

Yuan Wanru sat down again, and Cao Lanxin began to introduce the origin of this incense.

"My father bought this recipe at a high price. My great-aunt has been having trouble sleeping at night lately, so I asked someone to make incense according to the recipe. My great-aunt said she sleeps much better at night now."

Yuan Wanru had no expertise in incense making, but she was all too familiar with the fact that spices were essentially medicinal herbs. She took a deep breath, carefully savoring the aroma. The air was filled with a bitter, spicy, and sweet scent—the scent of styrax.

There is also a mellow and long feeling, which is sandalwood.

After analyzing it layer by layer, she already knew what kind of aromatic medicines were in it, but she had no idea about the ratio of the various herbs.

It turned out that the Cao family bought it at a high price. This incense must be good for calming the mind.

Lu Yun sniffed it several times and found it very pleasant. She asked excitedly, "Cousin, does this fragrance have a name?"

"Yes, it has an interesting name, 'Dreamless'."

Liang Yusong murmured it again and nodded slightly: "A Night Without Dreams, it is indeed appropriate, a good name."

Lu Rong is the most pragmatic person. She wants to get anything good.

She smiled flatteringly at Cao Lanxin: "Cousin, my aunt hasn't been sleeping well recently, and I'm worried. I wonder if you can give me some?"

Cao Lanxin was impatient in her heart. She was indeed a concubine's daughter, who would cling to him as soon as she saw any benefit.

Although she didn't care about this, the people of the Cao family were always good at calculating and had clear purposes in everything they did. It would be of little use to be on good terms with Lu Rong. What help could a concubine's daughter from the second house give her?

Cao Lanzhi saw her reluctance, so she said with embarrassment, "You don't know, although Third Sister has the recipe, making incense is not easy."

"There are more than twenty kinds of medicinal herbs in the prescription, and there are several unusual aromatic herbs that can't be bought outside."

"For example, the storax and frankincense were bought by my family from merchants in the Western Regions. They are in short supply and worth a fortune."

“Even the medicinal herbs available on the market, such as spices like sandalwood, are very expensive.”

"Cousin Rong, a small box of Wumeng incense costs over a thousand taels of silver. My third sister gave most of it to my great-aunt for her sleep, and she only kept a small amount."

"My third sister came to the capital and she's not used to the climate there. She can't sleep well at night. This is exactly what she needs."

"There wasn't much Wumengxiang made this time, and I didn't get any. If Aunt Qu needs it, I'll have to wait until next time."

Lu Rong bit her lip, feeling extremely embarrassed.

There is nothing extra about it, it's just a deception to her and a way to look down on her.

Don't think she doesn't know. This incense was made the day before yesterday. The Cao sisters gave it to Old Madam Lu, Wang Min and Zhou Fang, and even Liang Yusong received a small box.

How come when it comes to her, there is nothing at all!

You cheap bastard, you act like you're rich every day, but now you're crying poor!

She stood up suddenly and said coldly, "I feel a little unwell. I'll go back first."

After saying that, he turned around and left, and the atmosphere became extremely awkward for a moment.

Yuan Wanru drank a belly full of tea and was impatient to stay here.

Whatever others wanted to do has been done, so she should be able to leave.

"It's getting late. I should go pay my respects to my mother. Thank you, cousin, for your hospitality today."

Cao Lanxin was turned away by Lu Rong, whom she looked down upon. She looked very unhappy and had no intention of getting along with Yuan Wanru.

She said casually, "In that case, I won't keep my cousin's wife."

Unexpectedly, Liang Yusong also stood up: "I haven't had time to pay my respects to Aunt Lu these past two days. I want to go with Miss Yuan. Is that possible?"

Yuan Wanru looked at her. Liang Yusong smiled naturally, with an unclear mist in her eyes.

She nodded neatly: "Why not? Let's go now."

-

The two walked out of Rongshou Hall, crossed the long corridor, passed the moon-shaped gate, and headed towards Wangchun Hall.

"Sister Yuan, I misunderstood you last time and never had the chance to apologize to you."

Liang Yusong spoke very sincerely, with a nervous look in her eyes, as if she was afraid that Yuan Wanru would blame her.

Yuan Wanru glanced at her briefly, smiling without showing her teeth: "You are too suspicious. You are also a victim. How can I blame you?"

"Besides, the old lady also gave me a mutton-fat jade bracelet about what happened that day, but I had forgotten about it a long time ago."

She deliberately handed the jade bracelet on her wrist to Liang Yusong. Liang Yusong thought of her sharp tongue and her smile became a little stiff: "That's good."

"I'm staying at the Marquis' Mansion, and I've taken a shine to Sister Yuan since we met. I just hope we can become close friends. I wonder if Sister Yuan is willing?"

"A gentleman is respectful and makes no mistakes, and treats others with courtesy and politeness. All within the four seas are brothers."

"Miss Liang treats me sincerely, and I will treat you sincerely as well. Why worry about not being able to become close friends and relatives? Do you think I'm right?"

Liang Yusong read a lot of books, but she couldn't read them as fluently as Yuan Wanru. Whenever this happened, she always felt ashamed of herself.

How can it be?

She is a noble lady of the Duke's Mansion, and Yuan Wanru is just a floating duckweed without a father or mother. They should not be compared.

Moreover, there seemed to be a deep meaning in her words. Could it be that Yuan Wanru had become suspicious of her?

Before we knew it, we arrived at Wangchun Hall.

Standing outside the main door waiting was Xuan Qing. Yuan Wanru was stunned for a moment.

What a coincidence, Lu Jiangnian is here too.

As expected, the fate between the male and female protagonists is beyond words.
