Chapter 992: Chapter 990 Borrowing Power Xiao Wu thought for a moment, then felt embarrassed: "Mom, it was my fault, I shouldn’t have——" Lady Huang patted Xiao Wu’s shoulder: "Mom knows! You’re thinking for our Huang Family, and now everyone in the county is watching. If we don’t do it well, many might gossip about us behind our backs! Just remember, Xiao Wu, when the Huang Family faced hardship before, no one lent a hand to help. Now, there’s no need to care about what outsiders say! We just need to have a clear conscience and not worry about others!" Xiao Wu nodded and fell silent. Only then did Lady Huang take his hand, leading him home. In the Song Family Courtyard, after Lady Huang and Xiao Wu ran out, Old Granny Zhang shook her head and sighed: "Lady Huang’s efforts go unnoticed, but Xiao Wu’s heart is sincere." Wang Yongzhu added: "Don’t worry, Mom. With Lady Huang’s character and actions, Xiao Wu will certainly understand! Before, she was worried about revenge, afraid of dragging Xiao Wu and the others. Now that the great vendetta is settled, it’s likely Xiao Wu will have to carry the banner of the Huang Family in the future. He needs to be taught well." Old Granny Zhang thought about Lady Huang’s character and nodded: "That’s true, but it’s hard on her!" Speaking of this, Wang Yongzhu gave Yang Zongbao a few reminders: "Uncle, restrain yourself for these days. Wait until this period is over for those matters. If you have time, why not check out the piece of land I mentioned?" Yang Zongbao nodded. Old Granny Zhang asked casually: "I was going to ask you, daughter, why did you buy that mountain and garden?" Qilidun even bought a mountain, so why buy another one? Is buying mountains addictive? Wang Yongzhu glanced at Song Chongjin and said: "I see the positioning of the newly bought mountain is quite good. When the time comes, we hire someone to choose a day, and pick a good spot on the mountain to move Grandma’s grave there. It’s pleasant with the mountain as a backdrop and flowers accompanying all year round. Isn’t it better than the cold and lonely back of the temple? We can visit the manor on the mountain and keep her company!" Song Chongjin’s eyes glimmered, and he looked at Wang Yongzhu with an indescribable gratitude. He couldn’t help himself, even though there were two elders in the room, he rushed to hold Wang Yongzhu’s hand and murmured: "Yongzhu, thank you..." And only then did Old Granny Zhang react, slapping her thigh: "That’s a great idea! I’ve seen the mountain too, the feng shui is nice, backs against the mountain and by the water, and so many flowers. Granny will surely be comfortable there. When I pass away, bury me next to Granny. I’ll keep her company!" ... Immediately, the slightly embarrassing and heart-thumping atmosphere dissipated. Song Chongjin’s long brewing emotion was scrapped. Wang Yongzhu looked exasperated, thinking: "Dear Mom, why are you joining in?" Meanwhile, Yang Zongbao’s smile flashed in his eyes: "If it’s really a good place, save me a plot too!" ... Well! Wang Yongzhu released Song Chongjin’s hand and said plainly: "I think the place is really nice. Whether it’s for occasional stays now or retirement later, it’s excellent. If you ask me, even if Brother Song enters the Imperial Court as an official, he’ll eventually retire someday. Then we’ll retire and return here for retirement." "By that time, we’ll establish our own branch, not involving the Wang Family or the Song Family..." Before finishing, everyone’s eyes lit up. Old Granny Zhang hesitated a bit, looking at Song Chongjin: "Daughter, I fear it might be difficult. It’s not enough that you think it’s good!" "Mom! We don’t need anyone else’s opinion! It matters that Yongzhu thinks so! Others’ opinions don’t matter. If Yongzhu thinks it’s good, it is! I believe Yongzhu’s proposal is great. We’ll establish our own branch without being inferior to others!" Song Chongjin immediately supported his wife. Old Granny Zhang rolled her eyes, waving dismissively: "Fine, you figure it out yourselves. I won’t be part of this, going for breakfast!" Yang Zongbao smiled as he followed Old Granny Zhang out. Once everyone left, Song Chongjin held Wang Yongzhu’s hand again: "Yongzhu, thank you!" Wang Yongzhu gave Song Chongjin a half-smiling glance, that earthy domineering allure, wondering where he learned it from. She wanted to ask, but seeing Song Chongjin so moved he seemed about to vow again, she decided not to. Due to Wang Yongzhu’s plans, Song Chongjin felt like skipping the Academy and was directly handed over to Yang Zongbao instead. He was unoccupied, still needing to learn from his master. At Imperial Doctor Du’s House, after morning courses, Imperial Doctor Du spoke about the Huang case: "With the Huang family’s issues resolved, cease all dealings with the Huang Family. Understand?" Wang Yongzhu nodded like a chick pecking rice: "No problem, Master! Got it, Master!" Imperial Doctor Du was at a loss for words. Then Wang Yongzhu remembered: "Um, Master, I bought a mountain and garden from the Huang Family. Is that okay?" Imperial Doctor Du squinted: "Why exactly did you buy from the Huang Family?" Wang Yongzhu shared her plans, then awkwardly smiled: "Of course, it’s not solely that. I thought, the garden blooms throughout the year. I happen to have several rouge and powder recipes. Instead of wasting them, why not open a Rouge Shop to earn some pocket money?" Imperial Doctor Du’s interest piqued: "Opening a Rouge Shop? How do you plan on doing that? Collaborate or open it solo?" Wang Yongzhu had already pondered this. Her thought was, if starting a Rouge and Powder Shop, it should be the best. Her plan was to show the recipe to Imperial Doctor Du, have him scrutinize it for any issues, finalize the formula, then introduce it either through Imperial Doctor Du or Ninth Master Lee to Consort De in the palace. Using Consort De’s name to open the Rouge Shop, with profits shared between Imperial Doctor Du, herself, Ninth Master Lee, and Consort De. After hearing her plan, Imperial Doctor Du’s eyes gleamed, mulling over it silently. Wang Yongzhu waited a while, but seeing Imperial Doctor Du giving no clear response, couldn’t help but ask: "Master, do you think there’s anything wrong with my plan?" Imperial Doctor Du suddenly tapped Wang Yongzhu’s head with his book: "When learning medicine, you weren’t this clever about earning money! Seems your heart’s now all about cash!" Though Wang Yongzhu could dodge, she earnestly took the hits, then defended herself: "Look at the way Master speaks! Who avoids money for no reason? I’m not earning dishonest money, why not?" Imperial Doctor Du threw the book onto the table: "If this shop opens, many will see you as a thorn!" Wang Yongzhu shrugged: "Businesses progress with competition! Moreover, I focus on the high-end market, affecting few! More, you’re here, Master, and we’re backed by Consort De in the palace!" Imperial Doctor Du snorted: "You think borrowing a name from the palace is easy?"
