Meng Zhaojun knew her mother was writing a letter to the Madam in the new county.
She knew who produced the skincare perfume used by Ye Shiqi; the skincare perfume made by others using the same method certainly did not have the same efficacy as Ye Shiqi's.
She knew this, yet she couldn't tell her mother. At home, they had a workshop for producing rouge, and they relied on selling the rouge made there.
All the household expenses, as well as the money for the gifts bought by the noble ladies and Ladies, relied on the earnings from this business.
As for her brother's educational expenses, her father's salary was not substantial, and he still had to please his superiors.
The pressure on her mother was huge. Meng Zhaojun, albeit reluctantly, had to support her. Her own expenses were not low either; she spent considerable effort on clothing and jewelry, as well as on gifts for visiting, to get acquainted with more nobility's Ladies and Young Masters.
