My best friends both transmigrated into a book and married powerful officials; she left me and I lef

If one household didn't have red and blue flowers, it could be considered a coincidence, but every household they visited today had the same result.

It's not just safflower; all the shops give the same answer for anything Sangluan needs to make lip rouge.

Yu Po's lips parted slightly, as if she wanted to say something more, but Sang Luan gave her a look, and Yu Po had no choice but to shut her mouth silently.

Immediately, the two of them slowly left the shop.

Sang Luan looked at the long street ahead and let out a long sigh.

People came and went, and shouts rang out one after another.

Yu Po glanced at Sang Luan unintentionally and noticed that Sang Luan seemed to be in a bad mood. She took Sang Luan's arm and asked with a worried expression, "Miss, are you alright?"

Sang Luan waved her hand, looking straight ahead, "It's alright, let's go back first."

She turned to the side, tilted her head slightly, and glanced at the shop behind her, a strange light flashing in her deep eyes.

Yu Po couldn't help but ask, "Miss, if we can't buy the raw materials, what will we do with the rest of your lip rouge?"

Sang Luan: "Go back and check the situation again. If it can be done today, then proceed with production as normal. If not, then return double the amount of money to them."

The situation is quite clear: someone is deliberately preventing her from buying safflower.

Soon, Sang Luan returned to the Grand Secretary's residence with Yu Po.

Liu Wenxian remained in the front hall, looking completely at ease.

Sang Luan slightly raised her eyelids and looked closely, and she could see a faint smile on Liu Wenxian's lips.

Upon seeing this scene, the idea in my mind was instantly confirmed.

Sang Luan nodded slightly to Liu Wenxian and then went straight back to Furong Garden.

Only after Sang Luan's figure disappeared from sight did Liu Wenxian crane her neck to look in the direction Sang Luan had left.

"Did she not arrive or did she not buy it?" Liu Wenxian asked, her tone full of doubt.

Jin Rui followed her gaze and respectfully replied, "They probably didn't buy anything; both of them came back empty-handed."

Liu Wenxian frowned slightly and murmured, "Then why does she not seem sad at all?"

She paused, then continued to ask Jin Rui, who was standing beside her, "Are you sure you've done everything I asked you to do?"

Jin Rui gave a soft "hmm," and replied, "Yes, Madam, I have indeed made all the arrangements."

After she finished speaking, Liu Wenxian felt much more at ease.

Liu Wenxian slowly straightened up, then leisurely picked up the teacup on the table beside her, tilted her head back and took a sip, then slowly put it down. "Although I don't know how she persuaded the Emperor, in a few days she will know that women should do what women should do."

“In a few years, she will come back to thank me.”

Jin Rui lowered her head and answered, word by word, "Yes, I think the young mistress will understand your good intentions, madam."

Liu Wenxian was very pleased to hear this, and her smile widened.

"Thank you for what?"

Suddenly, a majestic voice rang out beside my ear.

Liu Wenxian paused, then turned to the side and saw the old lady standing not far away, looking at her coldly.

Upon seeing this, she immediately stood up. "Mother, what brings you here?"

The old lady subtly glanced around, her gaze finally settling on Jinrui standing to the side.

She pointed at Jinrui, "Come on, you tell us."

Jin Rui was startled and subconsciously glanced at Liu Wenxian.

"boom……"

The old lady slammed her cane to the ground and shouted angrily, "What are you looking at her for? What? Can't I order you around?"

Liu Wenxian quickly stepped forward and said gently, "Mother, please be careful. Why get angry with a servant?"

She then turned and glared at Jin Rui, feigning anger, and said, "Although you've always been with me, just answer whatever Mother asks you. Just answer truthfully. I'm not a petty person."

Jin Rui's heart was trembling. She clasped her hands together in front of her, lowered her head, and responded with a "yes."

After a stick of incense.

The old lady's aura became even more serious, her face grew even colder, and her eyes were fixed on Liu Wenxian.

"Is she right?"

Before things were successful, Jin Rui naturally couldn't tell her everything Liu Wenxian had instructed her to do, so she deliberately only mentioned the key points.

For example, the lady might suddenly have a whim to want many flowers to display in the garden, but she knew nothing else about them.

Liu Wenxian's eyelids twitched. "Yes, it was just a whim, that's why..."

The old lady gave a long, drawn-out "Oh," and her expression softened somewhat. "I see."

Liu Wenxian secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Although she had been married into the Feng family for more than ten years, she still felt a little scared every time she saw the old lady.

The Feng family has always produced capable people. Before leaving the court, Feng Shinian was one of the most prominent figures in the court and a well-known favorite of the late emperor.

At that time, there were countless women who wanted to marry into the Feng family.

At the time, everyone thought that Feng Shinian would marry a woman from a family of equal social standing, and even the late emperor thought so.

But in the end, no one expected that the woman who married into the Feng family was a powerless village woman.

All of this was solely due to Feng Shinian's liking.

When she first married into the Feng family, there were some gossips.

Gradually, she stopped hearing those unpleasant words.

Instead, she became the object of flattery among the noblewomen of Shengjing.

If she hadn't come from a poor family, she could have learned the skills and wit of the wealthy young ladies in the capital.

Too bad she isn't.

Therefore, she knew how important rules were.

Her identity remains a thorn in the old lady's side to this day.

Liu Wenxian lowered her eyes, and when she looked up again, a smile slowly crept onto her lips.

She parted her lips slightly, "Mother, it's just..."

"Your Majesty!"

The old lady slammed her hand on the table, staring straight ahead with a serious expression.

As soon as he finished speaking, the maids serving around him knelt down in unison, bowing their heads deeply.

Each person's breathing became much lighter unconsciously.

Jin Rui was startled and couldn't help but exclaim, "Madam, Madam, she..."

The old lady glanced at Jin Rui casually, and Liu Wenxian immediately grabbed Jin Rui's arm, applying a little force to her.

Jin Rui obediently shut her mouth and then consciously took a step back.

Liu Wenxian smoothed the hem of her dress behind her with one hand and pulled one side of the dress up with the other. Then, she silently knelt down.

She stood ramrod straight, her eyelids drooping.

A sharp pain shot through her knee, and Liu Wenxian couldn't help but frown.

The old lady stared at her intently and said, "Do you know why I made you kneel as punishment?"

Liu Wenxian shook her head.

The old lady would go to the Buddhist hall to calm her mind from time to time, and as long as she didn't do anything too outrageous, the old lady wouldn't punish her.

The old lady lowered her eyes and gave Liu Wenxian a meaningful look. Then, she pointed at Jin Rui beside her and said, "I'll give you one more chance. What exactly did you do?"
