After the grand opening of Apricot Forest Hall, the concerned Doctor Luo hurried over, "You shouldn't say that, but those cosmetics are indeed very good."

"How so? Has Brother Hongzhang also used them?" Hua Yunfan teased.

"Our Mengmeng is the most filial. Whenever there is any good thing, she will give a share to us and Hongtao's family first." Doctor Luo said with a face full of pride and satisfaction, "When the cosmetics came out, Mengchen sent a set to her aunt, and there were also those suitable for men's use, saying men also need to take care of their skin.

After we used them, there was not a hint of greasiness, but rather a very comfortable feeling. Now we are persisting in using them every day."

Xiao Hongtao nodded with a smile, affirming that it was indeed the case.

Nangong Yelin laughed, "No wonder you both look several years younger and particularly spirited."

"You are truly fortunate." The officers at Huguo Protectorate Mansion both envied and sighed.

Ms. Yang also often sent various novelty items or different pills to their mansion, and the lady always praised Ms. Yang for her learned and reasonable nature, wanting to recognize Ms. Yang as her goddaughter. He was very supportive too, but after listening to Hongzhang's discouraging words, he could only give up the idea, fearing that his lady would be very upset after knowing.

Even if Ms. Yang was not their goddaughter, the Huguo Protectorate Mansion would still protect her. Whoever dared to bully her would be making an enemy of the Huguo Protectorate Mansion.

Doctor Luo said proudly, "Of course!"

Seeing this, Nangong Yelin and the others envied and were jealous but helpless. After many years of acquaintance, they knew Hongzhang's nature was uninhibited and carefree, and it was rare for them to hold it against him.

Xiao Hongtao was all smiles and said nothing, but the pride in his eyes was undeniable.

Meanwhile, Bei Mingchuan and several county magistrates agreed with laughter.

However, Bei Mingchuan's smile seemed a bit forced. He really did not expect his daughter to create such a big mess for him and did not know how the Prince would deal with him afterward, especially his daughter?

As noon approached, the number of guests gradually diminished, but everyone left with their arms full. Conversely, the goods in each shop had decreased by almost half.

Yang Mengchen instructed the sales staff to take turns going to the cafeteria for lunch. The remaining staff promptly restocked and organized the goods, and only then did she lead the honored guests to the exclusive private rooms in the grand hotel.

Hiding in the crowd, enjoying themselves, were Long Jingxi and Min Luozhan, who quickly returned with Wu Tong.

As for Bei Mingchuan and his family members, Yang Mengchen arranged for them to dine in the neighboring private rooms, as, to her, they were strangers.

After receiving instructions from his sister, Yang Chenghong had entertained those foreign merchants well. Leaving Chen Siyuan and Shen Yuhao as representatives to socialize, he then headed back to the private room.

The array of dishes was soon served.

Even though they were hungry, the nine siblings still ate gracefully, showing their good upbringing. Aside from the Luo family and Xiao Hongtao, the others secretly admired them.

Yang Mengchen's face was as calm as still water, her heart filled with myriad emotions.

In her previous life, her husband's family was a literary family, with numerous, particularly strict rules. Her mother-in-law, being from a literary family herself, naturally looked down on her, a woman from a rural background, and was adamantly against their relationship.

Back then, Fang Chenxu had already taught her the etiquette of high society, but during her first visit to meet her in-laws, her mother-in-law found fault with her on all counts, making life difficult for her. If it weren't for her deep affection for her husband, she would have wanted to leave at once.

Later, she attended the top etiquette class to intensify her training for half a year, with all the hardships one can imagine, but fortunately, the effects were significant. People who knew her said she had changed completely, with impeccable behavior in every aspect.

Despite this, her mother-in-law still criticized her, saying that good breeding was something intrinsic, and she was incapable of learning it in a lifetime.

After marrying her husband, her mother-in-law criticized her daily for doing this wrong or that poorly. Even her husband reprimanded his mother for nitpicking. However, each time her husband stood up for her, it only made his mother more severe. After several occurrences, her husband stopped intervening but instead cherished her even more.
