Time Travel: The Noble Family

Ruo Lan couldn’t help but say, "Sister, are you joking?" How could there be such a secret recipe, and it ended up in Yueyao’s hands.

Yueyao pulled a thin booklet from her sleeve and handed it to Ruo Lan: "Cousin-in-law, this is the recipe for the dye. If cousin-in-law doesn’t believe it, you can have someone try it first." As for saying something about finding a reliable person to test it and such, Yueyao didn’t bother saying that—she believed Zhuang Ruo Lan knew well enough.

Ruo Lan was somewhat tempted; she had a cloth shop included in her dowry. But this workshop had been losing money every year, and Madam Bao had specifically added it to her wedding list to save face. She had even considered selling it after a while, but if it really worked, that could change everything...

Zhuang Ruo Lan was a rational person, and she immediately suppressed the excitement in her heart. Zhuang Ruo Lan didn’t take the booklet from Yueyao’s hand right away but instead looked at Yueyao and asked, "Sister, where did you get this secret recipe from?" It was necessary to clarify the source of the item to avoid any trouble.

Yueyao was silent for a moment before saying, "Cousin-in-law, rest assured, this secret recipe wasn’t stolen nor was it taken by force. It comes from a legitimate source, so it won’t cause any trouble." Naturally, Yueyao couldn’t tell Ruo Lan that she knew of this recipe from her previous life through Zhou Shu; in those days, Zhou Shu used this method to produce a fabric that brought him enormous profits. She had found it fascinating and used the method to mix paints for her drawings, so she remembered it distinctly.

Ruo Lan really wanted to roll her eyes. She knew perfectly well that the recipe wasn’t stolen or taken by force, as even if Yueyao wanted to steal or snatch it, she couldn’t have outdone others. She was just trying to probe Yueyao, but seeing Yueyao’s expression, she couldn’t discern anything and asked, "Sister, how confident are you?" If what Yueyao said was true and they had this secret recipe, the money would roll in.

Yueyao shook her head with a smile, "I don’t know, I just remembered it because it was such a novel secret formula. Cousin-in-law, just have someone try it, and you’ll quickly know if it works or not." Trying it wouldn’t cost much.

Ruo Lan had grown up by the Duchess’s side, and when she was seven years old, the Duchess had her learn from the Heir’s Wife how to manage a household. The Heir’s Wife had no daughters and doted on her like one, teaching her meticulously by her side.

Over the years, Zhuang Ruo Lan had become extremely proficient in managing affairs and had a talent for stewardship. If Yueyao’s words were true, she naturally knew this would be an extremely lucrative method and asked, "Sister, if this method really works to produce such fabric, do you understand what that means?"

Yueyao, of course, knew and replied smoothly, "It means we can make a lot of money."
