Chapter 10 — The night I left, even the stones in the garden were taken with me

Tuy Yen Chi also launched many new lipstick colors and combination gift boxes. At the same time, the membership regime applies. There are more and more regular customers. Sales doubled. For food stores and grocery stores. We also adjusted our business methods. Little profit but lots of sales. Reputation is getting better and better. We also opened two new stores. A shop selling spices. A ward clerk. Aromatherapy shop specializes in selling all kinds of incense, fragrant extracts and fragrant sachets. All formulas are researched by ourselves. The scent is very special. Just opened and it was warmly received by everyone. The ward library outside sells books. Also accepts printing and publishing. I give the writer some unique stories. Then print it into a book. Selling very well. In just a few short months. Our wealth has doubled. Profits are also many times higher than before. In the capital, a rumor gradually spread. That there was a female merchant named To. Especially good at business. In just a short time, we opened several stores in succession. And every store's business is thriving. No one knows. That To Dong family. It was To Uyen, who was once laughed at as the "sufferer" of the Marquis's palace. I don't care either. Just focus on doing your business. I'm reading a book in the mansion. Thanh Hoa ran in. In his hand he held a card.

"Miss, the palace sent a card!"

"In the palace?"

I was momentarily stunned. Then he reached out his hand to receive the card. It's an invitation from the Queen, inviting me to attend the flower viewing party in the palace.

"Why did the Queen invite me?" I have some doubts.

"I heard that the Queen used our Tuy Yen Chi lipstick and felt extremely satisfied. I also heard that the Dong family is very good at business, so I wanted to invite someone to the palace to chat." Thanh Hoa said excitedly. "Miss, this is a great honor!"

I nodded. May be respected by the Queen. For my business. That's a very good thing. At the flower viewing party. Surely you will meet many acquaintances. Including Tham Nghien and Lieu Nhu Mi. But it's okay. Now I am the daughter of the To family. Is a successful businesswoman. She is no longer the old lady To Dai who only knew how to rely on the Marquis palace anymore.

"Go get ready." I put the card down. "Choose an appropriate outfit and jewelry."

The day of the flower viewing party. I wear a set of light lotus-colored pants. Not much jewelry. But every dish is exquisite. Elegant makeup. Gentle yet leisurely temperament. Ride a horse-drawn carriage to enter the palace. When arriving at Ngu Hoa Vien. There have been many people who have come before. Most of them are relatives of mandarins and matrons. Groups of three or five people gathered to chat. I just walked in. Has attracted many eyes. One is because a lot of people don't know me. Curious to know who I am. Second, because my temperament is too outstanding. Standing in the middle of the crowd. Particularly eye-catching. Someone recognized me.

"Isn't that... the former great lady of the Vinh Ninh Marquis palace?"

"That's right, it's To Uyen! I heard that she had already separated, but she still came to the palace banquet?"

"What qualifications does she have to come? A woman who has separated..."

"I heard that her business is very big now, even the Queen takes care of it very much important."

The chatter was neither loud nor small. Just enough to reach my ears. My face remains unchanged. Just leisurely step straight forward. Previously in Hau palace. Such talk. I've heard too much. Haven't cared for a long time. Just walked a few steps. Met Lieu Nhu Mi. She was wearing a crimson outfit. His head is filled with jade brooches. Dress splendidly. He was holding Tham Nghien's arm, chatting with the ladies. Just saw me. Lieu Nhu Mi's face immediately changed. She didn't expect it. I appeared again at the palace banquet. Tham Nghien also saw me. The eyes are extremely complicated. Haven't seen each other for several months. To Uyen is becoming more and more beautiful. The atmosphere is also getting better and better than before. Standing in the middle of the crowd. Like a lotus flower quietly blooming. Again, dazzlingly bright. Lieu Nhu Mi saw Tham Nghien looking intently at me. I was even more angry inside. She took a step forward. Standing in front of Tham Nghien, he smiled and opened his mouth, but his voice carried some sarcasm.

"Is your sister coming too? Truly a rare guest. I thought after my sister separated, I wouldn't have the face to see anyone anymore."
