Her elder sister steals her husband? She marries the God of War and is pampered beyond measure!

What would be a suitable price for Chapter 49?



What would be a suitable price for Chapter 49?

Su Mowan left satisfied.

When Feng Yue entered, he saw his master deep in thought.

"Master, what are your orders?"

Murong Jing then raised his head, a hint of doubt appearing on his handsome and otherworldly face.

"Has Shen Muyue caused any trouble lately?"

Feng Yue nodded.

It goes without saying who he was going to cause trouble for; he understood his master's unspoken message perfectly, and immediately revealed all the trouble Shen Muyue had caused.

Upon hearing this, Murong Jing's expression darkened.

"Have Butler Luo keep a close eye on things. Entrusting it to Shen Muyue is just a matter of appearances; don't let her make a mess of the substance as well."

Feng Yue lowered his head: "Yes."

Su Mowan returned to Huangfeng Garden and immediately asked Yinshuang to personally transfer a chef from the main kitchen.

Yinshuang, along with several maids, cleaned up the small kitchen in the west courtyard that had never been used before, and then had someone fetch some fresh vegetables from the kitchen.

Qinghe stood to the side watching Su Mowan roll up her sleeves and said worriedly, "Consort Su, why don't we let the cook do it?"

Su Mowan deftly rolled up her sleeves and instructed the new cook: "Aunt Li, you just need to wash these vegetables, and then you don't need to worry about them anymore."

Aunt Li was initially reluctant to be assigned to the small kitchen, but seeing Su Mowan's approachable demeanor, her frustration lessened considerably. She smiled, agreed, and rolled up her sleeves.

Su Mowan doesn't know how to make any fancy dishes, only some simple home-style dishes. Even so, when the dishes were placed on the table, Qinghe and Yinshuang were still stunned.

Regardless of the taste, its presentation is excellent.

Su Mowan invited the others to sit down together.

Qinghe and Yinshuang were used to it, so the newcomer, Aunt Li, immediately glared at them and declined repeatedly. Only after seeing Qinghe and Yinshuang sit down gracefully did she cautiously follow suit.

I thoroughly enjoyed the meal.

Su Mowan patted her belly and said smugly to the three of them, "How was my cooking? Not bad, right?"

Qinghe nodded immediately, her big eyes narrowing into slits with joy.

"Delicious! No wonder Consort Su wanted to cook for herself; it turns out she looked down on what the main kitchen made!"

Hearing this, Aunt Li gave an awkward laugh: "Consort Su's cooking is excellent; the dishes made in the main kitchen simply can't compare!"

That's an exaggeration; it's just flattery.

Just then, a maid knocked on the door.

"Reporting to Consort Su, Granny Wei has arrived!"

Aunt Li couldn't sit still any longer and jumped up immediately. Qinghe and Yinshuang slowly put down their bowls, and Su Mowan gestured for Yinshuang to go open the door.

When Granny Wei came in, she was all smiles again.

Upon seeing the leftovers on the table, her expression froze. She opened her mouth, then said, "Consort Su has already eaten? The Prince said he would invite you to join us for dinner. It seems you've been too late!"

Qinghe knew that Granny Wei had already guessed that they had eaten with Consort Su, so she immediately said somewhat guiltily, "Granny Wei, you're late. Consort Su's cooking is excellent!"

Granny Wei glared at her.

"How could we let Consort Su cook herself?!"

Su Mowan chuckled and said, "Qinghe, really, how can you expect Wei Mama to feel good about what you've said?"

Then she turned to Granny Wei and said, "Granny Wei, next time you come, I'll cook another meal."

Granny Wei chuckled quickly.

"No, no! How can we let Consort Su do it?"

“In that case,” Su Mowan smiled like a fox and instructed Qinghe, “Go and bring the steamed egg custard from the kitchen. You don’t need to bring Wei Mama’s portion.”

Granny Wei: "..."

Qinghe chuckled and turned to leave.

Granny Wei immediately called out, "Qinghe! Bring mine too! I can't let down Consort Su's kindness!"

The white porcelain pot contained a pale yellow egg custard. When Wei Mama saw it, her mouth watered. After taking a bite, she praised it repeatedly.

Before leaving, he asked for another cup of wine.

If Su Mowan knew what Granny Wei was going to do with it, she probably wouldn't have given it to her.

It got completely dark.

Qinghe and Yinshuang followed Su Mowan to Fenghua Palace.

Upon arriving outside Fenghua Palace, Su Mowan told Qinghe to rest early, as she had to get up early the next day to distribute handkerchiefs at the jewelry shop.

Su Mowan made her way to Murong Jing's bedroom.

In a good mood, she pushed open the door and went inside. Murong Jing, wearing only a white undergarment, was already in bed.

Just as she was about to say something, she turned her head and saw the white porcelain cup on the table, and Su Mowan stopped in her tracks.

Seeing her staring at the porcelain bowl, Murong Jing cleared his throat, his expression somewhat unnatural.

"I have tried it, and the taste is just so-so."

"..."

Su Mowan pretended not to hear.

She went over and took a look, then secretly pursed her lips; there was clearly only a little bit of residue left at the bottom of the bowl.

Turning around and laughing, Su Mowan said, "It's just something I made on the spot, of course it can't compare to a chef's skill. If Your Highness likes it, you can have the chef make it next time."

Murong Jing hesitated for a moment, then said coldly, "Although the cooking skills aren't great, it's still acceptable to eat it occasionally."

Su Mowan: "..."

She stood there, not responding to him at all.

Murong Jing suddenly felt irritated and blurted out, "What? You're not happy? Shen Muyue has sent pastries to Fenghua Palace at least ten times, and you've only sent this one thing so far. You should learn from this!"

"..."

Su Mowan stared at him.

Suddenly, I realized that Murong Jing's awkwardness of saying one thing and meaning another was really... deadly.

Thinking of this, she suddenly had a mischievous thought.

She then smiled at Murong Jing and said, "Of course I'm willing, but as Your Highness just said, the taste is just so-so, so I won't embarrass myself by offering it."

"Knowing you're making a fool of yourself, why did you have Granny Wei deliver it? Since you've already made a fool of yourself once, I don't mind if you make a few more."

As Murong Jing spoke, he gave her a rather disdainful look.

Then he turned his face away and refused to communicate with her anymore.

Su Mowan could only smile and grit her teeth.

Granny Wei, very good!

Early the next morning.

Su Mowan was busy with her inspection again, but she didn't go to the jewelry shop.

She went to the clothing store first, where Manager Liu greeted her with a beaming smile, welcoming her in like a goddess.

Although the designs made by the embroiderer differed slightly from her drawings, the effect was similar. Due to the high price, the buyers were all young ladies from wealthy and noble families.

Shopkeeper Liu reported with a smile that more than ten sets had been sold recently, and the store was out of stock, with some people even placing pre-orders.

Su Mowan smiled and nodded.

After thinking for a moment, she said to Manager Liu, "Manager Liu, divide the embroiderers into two groups. One group will continue to use the current material, while the other group will switch to a better material. The cost should be about twice that of the current material."

You can tell from the sound that this is yet another new idea.

Manager Liu quickly agreed, then asked, "What would be a suitable price?"
