Chapter 487: Chapter Four Hundred Eighty Three: Dislike_1

Madame Wang ignored him and continued discussing the making of clothes with her daughter-in-law.

Now that she has regained her young form, she no longer wants to wear the clothes of her elderly self. She’s planning to try some younger designs.

Master Wei stepped forward, examining his wife closely. The more he looked, the more amazed he felt, and a glimmer of hope rose in his heart. He tentatively asked, “Ajin, why have you suddenly turned young again?”

Seeing his wife not answering, he turned to Yingbao, “Commandery Princess, you truly are an immortal, aren’t you?”

A decade ago, rumors spread that his daughter-in-law was an immortal who defeated Jin Country with her divine powers. As a result, the Emperor granted both the Jiang and Wei families nobility.

He had trouble believing the rumors at first, but after witnessing this himself, he’s now fully convinced.

His daughter-in-law has slept for over a decade, and upon waking, his wife has turned youthful again. He’s certain this is his daughter-in-law’s doing.

Seeing his wife looking as though she’s in her prime and himself with a white beard, wrinkles, and failing health, he grows hopeful. His gaze towards his daughter-in-law becomes fervent. “Yingbao, you see your dad’s health has been deteriorating lately…”

Before he could finish, he was met with a glare from his wife, Wang Jin.

Madame Wang frowned, “If you are feeling weak, go to the storeroom and get yourself some tonics. Yingbao just woke up today, why bother her with this?”

At this point, Master Wei no longer dared to upset his wife and sheepishly sat down, thick-skinned, “Madame, I was just speaking casually, I meant nothing by it.”

Madame Wang paid no attention to him and turned to Yingbao, “We have received a new batch of silk at our fabric shop, with all new colours and patterns. Later, I will have some sent to the residence. We can make some more clothes for us and for Seventh Son.”

Before Yingbao could respond, Master Wei hastily interjected, “I will have those sent over immediately, and also some good quality jewelry and beaded flowers.”

Madame Wang was silent.

Yingbao quickly responded, “Father, there’s no need for the jewelry and beaded flowers.” She has several boxes of gold, silver, jade, and jewelry of all kinds in her storage. It’s completely unnecessary to take any from his shop.

Master Wei slapped his thigh, “What are you saying? We’ve just received a batch of new jewelry, all latest styles of this year. Of course we should wear them first. When people see how good they look on us, they will surely buy more.”

Yingbao: …

It appears that her father intends her to promote his products.

Madame Wang gave her husband a glare but didn’t object.

Thus, fabric shop and jewelry shop kept delivering silks and jewelry to madame Wang’s main hall, filling the place.

Yingbao casually picked few pieces and paid no more attention.

Madame Wang selected around a dozen types of fabric and also picked several new pieces of jewelry before instructing the shopkeeper to take the rest back.

Master Wei, grinning from ear to ear, also picked a few pieces and handed them to the seamstresses who came along, instructing them to make clothes as quickly as possible.

After having a meal with her mother-in-law, Yingbao returned to her own princess residence.

Most of her maids married and had children, so Wei Zheng released them and found some younger maids to guard Yingbao’s courtyard.

Magnolia, however, did not want to get married and remained as a first-class maid in the courtyard, supervising the new maids.

“Commandery Princess, would you like to wash up?” asked Magnolia, looking at her mistress. She felt a mix of amazement and joy; she was glad she hadn’t given up on waiting for her mistress’s awakening.

Yingbao nodded. “I need a bath.”

Although she had used a cleaning spell, she still felt uneasy after lying in bed for over a decade, even though the maids had been washing her body every day.

Magnolia quickly told the little maids to prepare hot water, organizing towels and clothes for Yingbao while keeping her updated with the happenings over the past decade.

Young Master has married and is now an assistant in the Zhouhe County Government. Wumei’s parents have never asked about him, likely they have no intention to have him back.

Recently, Wumei accompanied Nuannuan to Beijing for a trip and will not be back until June.

A few years ago, the Emperor arranged a marriage for Jiang Wu with his own daughter. However, as the princess was young, the two have yet to marry.

Hearing this, Yingbao’s eyelid twitched.
