The peasant girl has a private space, and her husband is handsome.

When Prime Minister Feng heard from his subordinates that the wine cup that Madam Lin had obtained from the plum garden contained a green paste, it reminded him of the elm seed steamed buns that he longed for, and his mouth watered.

How delicious those elm seed steamed buns are! Eating them makes you feel like you can forget all your troubles and feel as happy as if you're sitting on a cloud.

Unfortunately, the season for elm seeds is over, and we'll have to wait until next year to eat elm seed steamed buns again.

Prime Minister Feng strongly suspected that the small wine cups held by Madam Lin and Madam Sun contained delicious food.

Madam Lin and Madam Sun must have been just as bewitched by the delicious food made by Miss Su as he was.

Prime Minister Feng recently heard a rumor that when Miss Su went to Gu'an County to inspect Rongyang Hall, the leaves she touched were picked and eaten by Lord Xue of the Ministry of Rites.

These people have all gone mad; they want to snatch and eat anything related to Miss Su.

Minister Lin of the Ministry of Revenue was a confidant of Prime Minister Feng, so it didn't take Prime Minister Feng much effort to get the small wine cup that Madam Lin had obtained.

He'll bring some back to taste first. If it tastes as delicious as elm seed steamed buns, he'll try to get more so he can eat to his heart's content.

Prime Minister Feng said to his attendants, "Hurry up and find Lord Lin, and tell him to send what Madam Lin got from the Plum Garden to the Prime Minister's residence."

Meanwhile, Madam Sun returned to the Sun residence with her precious little wine cup, surprising all the servants in the Sun household.

Madam Sun came from a high-ranking family and was usually arrogant and looked down on everything.

So the servants never expected that Madam Sun would treasure an ordinary-looking celadon wine cup, holding it in her hands and not letting anyone touch it.

The maids and servants wanted to speak, but Madam Sun made a "shh" gesture, forbidding anyone to make a sound, as if making a sound would disturb the precious little wine cup.

This made people even more surprised.

Madam Sun was very anxious. As soon as she returned to her room, she immediately told her maid to close the door.

Following Qin's instructions, she evenly applied the green paste from the small wine cup to her face.

After waiting for the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, I wiped the green ointment off my face and washed it clean with water.

Madam Sun took the bronze mirror to the window, took a deep breath, and looked at herself in the mirror.

Wow! After just one use, my skin became much whiter, my spots faded, and my wrinkles became shallower.

Such amazing things exist in this world.

Madam Sun felt that her face was even more beautiful than the azaleas blooming outside the window.

She couldn't wait to get another tube of the skincare cream!

Use it a few more times and you'll definitely look younger and more beautiful.

Madam Sun was pleased with herself, but it was a pity that Madam Lin's house was quite far from Plum Garden. As soon as she returned to the gate of the Lin residence, her small wine cup was taken away by Lord Lin, who had rushed back to the mansion.

Lord Lin also instructed Madam Lin not to go to the Plum Garden again.

After Lord Lin finished speaking, he hurriedly sent the small wine cup to the Prime Minister's residence.

Prime Minister Feng was very angry and once again instructed Lord Lin to keep his family in check and not to fawn over Miss Su's mother anymore.

After Lord Lin left, Prime Minister Feng looked at the beautiful emerald green in the wine cup, feeling that it was even more beautiful than the color of elm seed steamed buns.

He couldn't resist the temptation and poured it directly into his mouth.

The first bite has a strong medicinal taste, which is nowhere near as delicious as elm seed steamed buns.

I have no idea what Madam Lin and Madam Sun were thinking. They brought so many gifts to Plum Garden, only to receive such unpalatable food in return!

Three days later, Madam Lin, curious about the effects of the skincare cream, went to the Sun residence.

Upon seeing Madam Sun, Madam Lin was quite surprised. She hadn't expected that Madam Sun's skin would change from dull and yellow to fair after using the skincare cream only once.

Although the spots and wrinkles were not completely eliminated, they were significantly improved.

It made Madam Sun look even more beautiful.

This skin cream is truly amazing.

No wonder Miss Su's mother has such fair and tender skin and looks so young; it's all because of this skin care cream.

Mrs. Lin felt particularly regretful.

She had gone to great lengths to send a generous gift in exchange for the skincare cream, only to hear that her husband had given it to Prime Minister Feng.

It's hateful, otherwise her face would have been greatly improved like Madam Sun's.

Madam Sun looked at Madam Lin with a puzzled expression. "Didn't you get the skincare cream from the plum garden just like me? Why does your skin seem to have hardly changed? Does the skincare cream work differently for different people?"

"Don't even mention it. The day I returned to the Lin family mansion from the plum garden, my master snatched my skincare cream and gave it away."

When this matter was brought up, Madam Lin became very angry, wondering why Prime Minister Feng had stolen her skincare cream.

It's truly despicable; preventing women from becoming beautiful is the most vicious thing in the world!

Madam Sun thought that Lord Lin had taken the skin cream and given it to another woman, so she felt very sorry for Madam Lin. "Sister, don't be angry. Let's take some generous gifts and go to Plum Garden again today. Maybe we can get another cup of skin cream."

Mrs. Lin rejected the idea: "Today is not suitable. Let's go tomorrow morning."

Madam Lin thought things through more thoroughly. She felt that if she got the skincare cream again today, it might be snatched away by Prime Minister Feng. Her husband was Prime Minister Feng's confidant and listened to him without question.

Therefore, if she wanted to avoid being robbed a second time, she needed to first investigate the Prime Minister's residence.

Moreover, the master forbids her from going to the plum garden again, but it would be different if the Prime Minister's wife invited her to go to the plum garden together. The master respects Prime Minister Feng so much that he would definitely not let her refuse the Prime Minister's wife.

After leaving the Sun residence, Madam Lin bought two boxes of Mengji's signature pastries on the way and then went to the Prime Minister's residence.

Because Lord Lin was a confidant of Prime Minister Feng, Madam Lin often visited the Prime Minister's residence and had a very close relationship with the Prime Minister's wife.

As soon as Madam Lin saw the Prime Minister's wife's face, she knew that the skincare cream that Prime Minister Feng had taken had not been given to the Prime Minister's wife.

She chatted with the Prime Minister's wife for a while, and specifically mentioned that Prime Minister Feng had taken the skincare cream from her.

He even told the Prime Minister's wife that Lady Sun looked radiant after using the skincare cream, describing its effects as miraculous, which made the Prime Minister's wife very eager to try it herself.

In fact, Madam Lin's main purpose in saying this was to persuade the Prime Minister's wife to go to the Plum Garden the next day, firstly because Lord Lin had forbidden her from going to the Plum Garden again.

Secondly, he was afraid that Prime Minister Feng would steal the skincare cream again. If even the Prime Minister's wife got the skincare cream, Prime Minister Feng probably wouldn't try to steal it from the Lin family again, right?

What woman doesn't love beauty? Sure enough, when the Prime Minister's wife touched her dry and wrinkled skin, she was immediately captivated.

"Madam Lin, are you saying you're going to the Plum Garden tomorrow? What time? May I go with you?"

Madam Lin was overjoyed at achieving her goal. "Of course it's wonderful. It would be my honor to go to the Plum Garden with the Prime Minister's wife. It'll be perfect to have company."
