Chapter 9

Wan Su spoke with gusto, and the old lady, who was quite interested at first, felt a little distressed when she heard it.

This is what kind of hardships one has to go through to eat these things.

The old lady looked at this girl with a smile on her face lovingly, she was so optimistic and kind, and she never complained half a bit in such a difficult life.

But the more so, the inadvertently revealed traces of past life made the old lady feel distressed.

The old lady took her hand, looking at the ten fingers that were much rougher than those of her peers, a burst of warmth flooded into her eyes.

"Mother Lin, I remember that in the warehouse, is there still the rose essence bestowed by the Empress Dowager?"

"Returning to the old lady, the Empress Dowager rewarded two bottles of the rose essence, because it is too expensive. So you let the slaves keep it safe! The slaves will go get it now."

"Rose Essence!" Li Shi was shocked, she had heard of the name before.

The rumored rose essence was extracted from 49 kinds of precious plants by the Queen of Persia herself.Due to the long growth cycle of some plants, only ten bottles can be produced every ten years.

It is said that rose essence has the effect of eternal youth. The queen of Persia is now over 30 years old, but her skin is still as firm as a young woman in her [-]s. It is all thanks to this rose essence.

The old lady took two glass bottles inlaid with golden patterns from Mama Lin's hand. The unique rose red color of rose essence looks particularly alluring against the luxurious glass bottles.

"When I was young, I used to give handkerchiefs to the Queen Mother. Last year, on my birthday, the Queen Mother gave it to me. But I am already old, and it is difficult to restore youth even if I use the best things on my face. Instead of throwing away everything , it is better to give it to someone who is really useful.”

"Mother, you have to think twice! The rose essence was given to you by the empress dowager. If you give it away at will, if the empress dowager finds out, it may not be appropriate!"

Li Shi pretended to be calm and let herself say these words. What kind of jokes are you making? How can such a precious thing be given to that lowly girl Liang Wansu, even a village girl from the countryside.

Such a precious thing can only be used by a stunning beauty like his daughter Yunxi, and there is no way to snatch it from her daughter.

While speaking, Mrs. Li winked at Liang Xiu.

Although Liang Xiu also felt that Wan Su had suffered a lot in these years, he also felt that it would be a pity to give Wan Su what the Queen Mother rewarded him.

"Mother, what Madam said is that we can dispose of royal rewards at will."

The old lady was originally dissatisfied because she felt that Li Shi had treated Wan Su harshly all these years, and she was even more dissatisfied at being blocked by the husband and wife together.

"Since the empress dowager gave me a reward, then I will deal with this thing, so why are you here, telling me what to do?"

The old lady was out of breath, and she started to cough at the end of her talk, and Mother Lin rushed forward to massage her back.

Seeing this, Wan Su quickly knelt down.

"Grandmother, don't be angry, and you must take care of your health. What my father and wife said is that the rose essence is a treasure bestowed by the royal family. How can a granddaughter use it if she is still young! As the saying goes, an old man is like a treasure, such a treasure It really needs you, the baby in our family, to match it."

Wan Su spoke in a soft voice, with a bit of a little daughter's coquettish tone in her gentleness, which made the old lady who had a serious face couldn't help being amused by her.

"You girl, you are glib."

Saying that, the old lady fondly pointed her forehead with her finger.

Wan Su smirked, with the naive look of a little girl on her face.

"Grandmother, my granddaughter knows that you love me so much, that's why you gave me this rose dew. My granddaughter knows how good you are, but there are more than one ways to love me!"

"Oh? What do you mean?"

"When my granddaughter was in the countryside, she was always served by a maid named Caixiang. She could cook more dim sum than her granddaughter, but she never saw her after returning home. If grandma felt sorry for me, she would call Caixiang Call me back again!"

"Oh? The maid by your side! Isn't that the one who should continue to serve you? Hasn't she gone to your residence now? What's going on?"

The old lady looked at Mrs. Li suspiciously.

Hearing Caixiang's name, Mrs. Li felt a "thump" in her heart.

Because of yesterday's incident, she knew that Caixiang held a lot of weight in this girl's heart, so she made up her mind that no matter what, she could not return Caixiang to Wansu.

She thought that Wan Su was eager to save people, so she would go to beg her that night, and she had already figured out how to humiliate Wan Su to vent her anger for herself.

Unexpectedly, she didn't come after waiting all night. Early this morning, she thought that she would take the old lady's path and come to save the country.

If it hadn't been for the fact that the old madam was stopped by her when she gave Wansu Meiguilu, it would be possible for her to find a reason not to send Caixiang back.

But now that she has stopped the old lady from giving Wan Su rose dew, if she stops Wan Su from asking for a girl, it will be too mean.

The countless tricks she had prepared were all won back by Wan Su's one-two-hundred-two-thousand-jin method, and Li Shi just felt aggrieved by holding it in her heart.

Even though she was used to being hypocritical on weekdays, she couldn't help but pursed her lips and pretended to be calm now.

After a while, she took a deep breath, and reluctantly said: "Returning to mother, that girl Caixiang will come back sooner or later with Su. She thought that something bad happened to Wan Su after being kidnapped by a traitor. Therefore, those who are stubborn have to be buried with Wan Su." I saw that she was agitated, and I was afraid that something would happen. So I asked Mama Liu to send her to another hospital outside, trying to calm her down. If Su Ping'an comes back tonight, the girl will be fine. It's just Mama Liu went out today to buy things for me, and I don’t know when she came back. So, I will arrange for Mama Liu to pick her up tomorrow morning."

"Well! Well, you can look at the arrangement, but this girl is very affectionate, so don't make her wait too long." The old lady said that there was no deep meaning.

Wan Su felt grateful and got up solemnly to thank her. Only then did she realize that the old lady knew everything.
