Luo Shuiyao nodded gently and said, "I always trust Sister Yue Niang's work, but you've been busy these days. After this is over, I will definitely grant you a few days off so that you can rest and recuperate."
Zhuangzi listened, scratched his head with a silly smile, and replied, "Miss, please don't say that. This is much easier than being on the battlefield. Besides, life is getting more and more promising now. Everyone in the escort agency has work to do, and everyone is very motivated. We are looking forward to you leading us to a better life."
Luo Shuiyao laughed, "Then I will try to make sure everyone lives a good life as soon as possible."
Then, as if remembering something, she continued, "How's that going with the matter I suggested a few days ago where Yang Wei would look for the retired families living in hardship near Kyoto?"
Zhuangzi thought for a moment before answering, "Brother Wei hasn't mentioned this. But I've seen him busy on this matter these past few days, so I guess there will be a result soon."
Luo Shuiyao nodded slightly. "There's no rush for this. You have another important thing to do right now. Go to Yang Wei and ask him to send a few good fighters to accompany you. We'll stay at the farm outside the city for a while. You guys should follow me from a distance and don't let others know that you and I are together."
Zhuangzi frowned and asked worriedly, "Miss, is there something dangerous?"
Luo Shuiyao shook her head slightly. "It's not that dangerous, but there are some people who need to be dealt with. After all, there's a thief who steals for a thousand days, but there's no such thing as a thief on guard for a thousand days. Let's lure the snake out of its hole today and strike it where it's weakest."
Although Zhuangzi didn't understand, he thought that the young lady must have her own plans when she said that, so he didn't want to ask more questions.
Luo Shuiyao turned her gaze to Dujuan, who stepped forward and bowed slightly.
Luo Shuiyao looked at her and said, "Dujuan, take Tangbao and Tangdou with you and go find Sister Yue Niang now. Ask her to find some skilled cooks. You two should work together to consolidate the recipes you've learned these past few days. This will be a good opportunity to make some food for them to taste. If there's anything that needs improvement, there's still time."
As she spoke, she picked up a booklet from the side and handed it to Du Juan. "This booklet lists some of the ingredients needed for cooking, as well as the stove and other related information. Ask Sister Yue Niang to find someone to prepare them now. The booklet also lists some jars and bowls for food, and those things need to be decided on early. Give the booklet to Sister Yue Niang, and she will naturally understand."
"Yes, Miss, I will definitely take care of this matter." Dujuan stepped forward and took it with both hands, saying.
After arranging these things, Luo Shuiyao dressed neatly and headed towards Minghua Hall. In recent days, she would visit the Marquis whenever she was free. The Marquis's health had improved a lot in the past few days, her headache had not recurred, and her mood had also improved a lot.
…………
In Minghua Hall, the Marquis's wife has been bedridden these days. She rarely gets up today and is fiddling with flowers and plants in the yard.
Nanny Sang hurried in from the outer courtyard, saying as she walked, "Madam, Miss Luo is here to see you."
When the Marquis's wife heard this, she put down the small pot she was using to water the flowers and said with a smile, "Please invite my cousin in."
Then he ordered the maid beside him: "Go and prepare some tea and snacks."
Luo Shuiyao sat quietly, and the maid skillfully added tea to her cup. Not long after, she heard hurried footsteps.
She turned her head and saw the marquis's wife walking towards her with a smile on her face. When she saw her, she quickened her pace.
Seeing this, Luo Shuiyao quickly stood up and went to greet her, saying worriedly, "Aunt, you're not fully recovered yet, so please be careful."
As he spoke, he stretched out his hand, as if to support the Marquis's wife, with just the right amount of concern on his face, appearing sincere and measured.
The Marquis's wife saw the fine lines at the corners of her eyes deepened because of her smile. She reached out and grabbed Luo Shuiyao's hand, patting it gently. She said, "Why don't you take a good rest, kid, and run to me? It will take a long time to walk back and forth. Be careful not to tire yourself out."
There was a hint of anger in his tone, but more of it was full of love and concern.
Luo Shuiyao just smiled and didn't answer. Some things sounded forced if they were said too much, so she pretended to be embarrassed and lowered her head, pursing her lips slightly. A faint blush crept onto her cheeks. Her expression was a bit shy and well-behaved, which only made the Marquis's smile even brighter.
"You are such a beautiful child. I wonder who will be so lucky to marry you in the future."
As she spoke, she pulled Luo Shuiyao into the house, a hint of subtle teasing in her voice. "But don't worry, your aunt will help you screen and find you a good man with a wealthy family and a handsome demeanor. He won't let others treat you unfairly."
Luo Shuiyao still pretended to be shy and lowered her eyebrows, but there was no smile in her eyes. She had always wanted to move out, but in this capital, there were so many powerful people, and it was so difficult for her, a beautiful orphan with no power, to gain a foothold here.
Now I can only follow her idea. When my career has improved and stabilized, I will buy a house in the capital and bring my aunt, cousin and sister to live with me. Only then can I tell the Marquis' Mansion about moving out.
Otherwise, the Marquis' Mansion would be worried about her safety and would definitely not allow her to leave alone. If she forced her way out, it would destroy the harmonious relationship she had worked so hard to maintain, which would go against her original intention of wanting to cling to the thigh.
If she wants to become bigger and stronger in the business world, she must have a strong backer. Otherwise, no matter how brilliant her ideas are or how many money-making ideas she has, she will not be able to avoid the fate of being slaughtered like a fat sheep by the powerful in Kyoto.
No matter what the Marquis's wife thinks, her kindness to her is not fake, and the Marquis's Mansion is very kind to her.
If you want to be a qualified businessman, a good reputation is the best publicity for a businessman, and she must never be an ungrateful person in the eyes of others.
Luo Shuiyao thought a lot in her mind, but could only sigh secretly. Although she had many ideas now, she could only put them into action when the time was right.
The Marquis's wife pulled them both to sit next to each other at the table.
Luo Shuiyao looked up and took a closer look at her expression. She saw that her face was rosy and her spirits had improved a lot. Perhaps it was because she had been resting quietly in bed for the past few days, but she seemed to be emitting a unique kind of vitality.
Luo Shuiyao breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Aunt is in good health, which makes me feel relieved. You have always been in poor health. You must not be angry or catch a cold on a daily basis. Otherwise, the disease will come and go like a thread, and the disease will come back like a mountain. Your body can't bear such a great suffering."
As she spoke, she gently held the Marquis's hand, with a hint of worry in her tone.
