After transmigrating, I became a stepmother.

Madam Hua understood immediately. She said, "It seems you and the young master have a good relationship!"

"Yes, Yu-ge'er is very cute, and he's very close to me!" Lin Hao's eyes lit up when she talked about the little boy, showing how much she really liked him.

Mrs. Hua thought this was good too; she wouldn't have to be under too much pressure or suffer the pain of childbirth at such a young age. Many girls experience difficult childbirth because they are too young.

"That is not bad."

"Yes!"

"Then I won't stay any longer!" Having said everything she wanted to say, Madam Hua took her leave.

"Okay, take care!"

"Fu Cui, make a copy of this recipe and send it to the steward. Tell him that all future meals should be prepared according to this recipe," Lin Hao instructed.

“Yes,” Fu Cui replied.

Seeing Lin Hao return, Gu Liunian immediately went to greet her, his voice tinged with urgency. "What did Madam Hua say?"

Ever since Lin Hao was called away by Madam Hua, he had been feeling uneasy, fearing that his health was not good, which was why he wanted to tell Lin Hao in secret.

"It's nothing, just some private things between girls." Lin Hao didn't want to talk about these things with her at this time, but she did plan to confront Gu Liunian.

Seeing that her expression was normal and she didn't seem to be in any trouble, Gu Liunian was relieved for the time being!

Lin Hao then turned to the old lady and explained, "Yesterday, the master said that he wanted to go to the academy to study. I thought that studying is already very tiring, and with the daily commute, his body might not be able to take it in the long run!"

Hearing this, Gu Liunian didn't react much, but the old lady kept nodding.

"That's the truth!"

Lin Hao took the opportunity to explain the background of this Mrs. Hua.

"Therefore, I thought that since we're free now, we should lay a good foundation for our health in advance, so that we won't be too weak during the exam. This Madam Hua's husband is a doctor at Huichuntang in the north of the city. In addition, Madam Hua herself has studied medicine since childhood, is proficient in pharmacology, and is very good at making medicinal cuisine. Inviting her will help us avoid some detours."

"Yes, that makes sense. It's always good to be prepared! You've thought of everything!" The old lady looked at Lin Hao with great satisfaction.

Even Gu Liunian didn't expect her to think of these things. He had thought she hadn't thought much about it because she looked tired and hadn't said much. He never expected her to be thinking so deeply!

"I hope Mother won't blame me for making this decision on my own!" Lin Hao said with a smile to the old lady.

"You little devil, you know I won't refuse, yet you still ask that question. Are you asking for a beating?" The old lady feigned anger and even raised her hand in a threatening gesture.

"Oh dear, it's because my daughter-in-law acted first and informed me later, so I'm feeling uneasy! Besides, the deed is done, but I haven't even asked for the reward yet," Lin Hao said playfully.

"Look at them, they've come to ask me for a reward!" the old lady said to everyone with a smile.

Gu Liunian smiled but remained silent.

Yun Fei smiled and replied, "Madam, you see, Madam was clearly making medicinal food for Master, but she didn't forget to give you a portion. It's clear she cares about you! Shouldn't you reward her?"

"Oh, look at you! What kind of spell have you cast on my maid? She's all speaking up for you!"

? ”

"Oh dear, I can't accept that title. This is called 'the eyes of the people are discerning!' I can't let myself work for nothing!"

"Alright, alright, this is not a reward. Yunfei, quickly bring me my Crimson Gold and Ruyi Hairpin and send this person who is asking for a reward away."

Yun Fei smiled and agreed, then went to the inner room to fetch the hairpin. A short while later, she came out carrying a box, which she presented to Lin Hao.

"Take a look, do you like it?" the old lady asked Lin Hao.

Lin Hao looked at the hairpin in the box and marveled at the craftsman's ingenuity. She had thought that gold hairpins would be heavy, but this hairpin was not like that at all. It had a silver base and was decorated with the two immortals of harmony and union carved in gold. The carving was exquisite and lifelike.

"This is so beautiful!" Lin Hao couldn't help but exclaim.

"It seems you like it, so I'll give it to you!" The old lady was delighted to see her staring at her so intently.

"Isn't this too expensive? Asking for a reward was just a joke," Lin Hao said, a little embarrassed.

"I'm not joking. You deserve to be rewarded for your thoughtfulness, especially since you've done such a meticulous job." The old lady disagreed with her words. As long as Lin Hao was focused on the Gu family, she wouldn't feel bad about giving her anything.

"Since it's your mother's gift, you should accept it!" Gu Liunian, who had been quiet all along, also urged her to accept it.

Lin looked at the two of them and said happily, "Then I'll accept it! Today was definitely worth the trip, I've made a profit!"

Her playful remark made everyone laugh again.

"Mother, if there is nothing else, I will take my leave." Gu Liunian said, he still needed to hurry up and review his studies. Although he had a good foundation, he had not focused on his studies for many years and was afraid of missing something.

"It's alright, it's alright, you go ahead!" The old lady naturally wouldn't delay his studies, and quickly waved her hand.

"I'm leaving!" Gu Liunian said to Lin Hao.

"it is good."

Hearing Lin Hao's reply, Gu Liunian hurried away.

The old lady couldn't help but smile as she looked at her son. This son of hers probably doesn't even know what she's thinking!

Then I saw Lin Hao looking at the hairpin with a happy expression. Well, this is another one who hasn't figured it out yet.

Forget it, she's not going to care anymore. Let the young couple deal with it on their own!

"Alright, I've done everything here, so don't linger here." The old lady's eyes ached from looking at them like this, and she told them to leave.

"Ah, then the daughter-in-law should take her leave now!"

Lin Hao left happily. The old lady looked at her delighted expression and said to Yun Fei beside her, "She's easily satisfied. It's just a hairpin, and she's overjoyed!"

"Grandma, you must be secretly delighted!" Yun Fei said with a smile.

"Haha, you're right, of course I'm happy. People like this are much better than those who are full of ulterior motives!" The old lady said directly without any hesitation.

“That’s right! We servants really like this kind of master; it reduces our worries and fears!” Yun Fei sighed in agreement.

"No wonder you're siding with her. So you like that kind of mistress? I'll give you to her tomorrow!" the old lady said, feigning anger.

"That won't do! I still prefer to be by your side! No matter how good other places are, I don't need to go there!" Yunfei pounded the old lady's shoulder, refusing to listen.

"You're so good at talking!" the old lady chuckled.

"These are my heartfelt words!"

Lin Hao had no idea that the old lady and her servant had such a conversation after she left. She was still very happy to receive this reward today.

It wasn't that this thing was valuable, but rather that the craftsmanship was so good that it changed her old view of gold as vulgar, and she actually found herself quite fond of it.

Seeing her so happy, Fu Cui and Liu Dan were also happy.

Fu Cui smiled and said, "Madam is so happy to receive the old lady's reward today!"

"Of course!" Lin Hao replied cheerfully.

"I suppose the old lady gave it to you because of the symbolic meaning of the Two Immortals of Harmony."
