Mu Qingge didn't know about this until she died in her previous life. She couldn't help but widen her eyes in disbelief.

"Mother has never mentioned it to me before."

Shen Weilan smiled, but her eyes were cold. "Yes, I never told you. Not only you, but your father doesn't know either."

"But your father doubted it, and tested it over and over again."

"After all, hundreds of years ago, the Foster Group relied on its incense-making skills to win both money and power. It even became the target of many influential officials."

"After all, incense has a wide range of uses."

"Your father also wanted to take advantage of the incense to get rid of others. He tried every means to make me admit that I can make perfume and use my ability to help him."

"This is also the real reason why your father didn't like me all these years but still put me in this position. But his mind is not pure, I won't help him, I will simply pretend that I can't."

Shen Weilan sighed. "A man's wealth is his own ruin, so the books I showed you didn't wake you up."

Mu Qingge returned to her room from Shen Weilan, but she still felt a little incredible.

She took out the storybooks that she usually read.

On the surface, the scripts were all normal scripts, but each of them contained several spice recipes.

The formula, the name of the spices, and even the usage and method were all hidden in the story.

If one didn't look carefully, it would be extremely difficult to notice.

According to her mother, it was because Mu Changyun had been secretly testing her to see if she knew about the Ye's spice formula. He had also secretly searched the things she had brought to the Mu family several times, and even the books of Mu Qingge. She had no choice but to use this method.

Mu Qingge was so surprised that she only took out a bottle of face powder from her sleeve.

This was given to her by her mother. She had never used this kind of face powder before. However, after smelling the fragrance of the face powder, she said the formula of several kinds of face powder. Although it was not complete, only one or two relatively rare medicinal materials were missing.

It was at that time that she suddenly remembered that her mother seemed to occasionally use this method to let her recognize the formula.

She used to think that it was just a game her mother played with her when she was bored, but she didn't expect that her mother had been secretly teaching her.

"Miss." Lv Zhu came out of the bathroom. "The hot water is ready. Are you going to take a bath now?"

As Lv Zhu spoke, her eyes fell on the bottle of face powder in the hands of Mu Qingge. "What is this?"

Mu Qingge smiled and said, "It's face powder."

"Hasn't my mother just given birth to a baby? My brother is too young for my mother to use face powder. Among the gifts my father sent to my mother before, there is this bottle of face powder. I just saw it and thought it smelled good, so I asked my mother for it."

Mu Qingge looked at Lv Zhu and said, "I heard from my mother that this kind of face powder is very precious. It costs a few taels of gold. The fragrance is also refreshing. I want to keep it. I will use it when there is something important."

After that, Mu Qingge pretended to put the face powder in the trousseau casually, then stood up and walked towards the bathroom. "I'm going to take a shower."

Mu Qingge did not like to be served when she was bathing, so Lv Zhu did not follow her in.

After Mu Qingge entered the bathroom, she did not immediately undress. She stood there for a while and calculated the time. Then she walked to the bathtub and ruffled some water.

After making some noise, Mu Qingge took off her shoes and quietly walked to the door to take a look.

As expected, she saw Lv Zhu carefully taking out the white jade bottle from her trousseau, pouring some face powder on her embroidered handkerchief, and then hiding it in her sleeve.

Mu Qingge smiled and turned to take a shower.

Probably because too many things happened during the day, Mu Qingge didn't sleep well at night. When she suddenly woke up in the middle of the night, she heard a soft voice coming from the side room next door.

After a while, Mu Qingge heard the sound of Lv Zhu carefully closing the door and leaving.

Did she... go to see her real master?

Mu Qingge gritted her teeth secretly. Lv Zhu was very skilled. This kind of thing must have happened more than once or twice.

It was so foolish that she hadn't even noticed it once before.

However, if Lv Zhu went to see Aunt Liu and Mu Yanjing, they would be heavily guarded. If she followed , she would inevitably alert them. It was better to wait and see.

After more than an hour, there was a noise outside the door, and Lv Zhu came back.

Only then did Mu Qingge fall asleep again.

Early the next morning, as expected, Mu Qingge smelled the face powder she brought back last night on Lv Zhu who came to serve her.

Mu Qingge didn't say a word. After dressing up, she went to the main room to have breakfast with Shen Weilan.

Waiting for Fu Rong and Lv Zhu to go out together to serve the meal, Mu Qingge only lowered her voice and asked, "Have you arranged everything I told mother yesterday?"

Shen Weilan nodded. "Everything has been arranged. They will take action today. I even wrote a letter to an official who used to be a friend of the Shen family to help. Don't worry."

"When your father returns to the mansion, there should be some movement."

After saying that, Shen Weilan looked at Mu Qingge and asked, "What's wrong? Did something happen? Why are you in such a hurry?"

Mu Qingge nodded and lowered her voice, "I found that Lv Zhu was probably bribed by Aunt Liu and her daughter. Yesterday in the Princess's Mansion, Lv Zhu said that she would go to get my clothes and didn't come back."

"And last night, when I woke up in the middle of the night, I heard that Lv Zhu quietly left Ningqi Courtyard and didn't come back until more than an hour later."

Mu Qingge said coldly, "After those two incidents yesterday with Mu Yanjing and her mother, I'm afraid that they hate me. I think they will definitely use Lv Zhu to deal with me."

Shen Weilan turned pale. "What do you need me to do?"

Mu Qingge smiled and shook her head. "It doesn't matter. I have my own plans, and I'm already taking action."

After she finished speaking, she saw Lv Zhu coming in with porridge, and she stopped talking.

In the morning, Mu Qingge stayed in the room with Shen Weilan and her newborn brother.

After lunch, Mu Qingge sent Lv Zhu away with the excuse of taking a nap, and then walked around the room carefully.

Not long after she rested, she was woken up by the noisy voice of Lv Zhu. "Miss, something happened."

Mu Qingge thought that Mu Changyun had returned to the mansion, so she got up and was about to go to the front yard to watch the show. However, she heard Lv Zhu say, "Aunt Liu and Second Miss are here to find Madam. They said that Aunt Liu lost something valuable and wanted to search the mansion."
