Chapter 307 - 306: Going Back Together is the Same
Madam Yin suddenly found it amusing. She had been quietly going over her account books in her own room, not bothering anyone, when Ye Hongyang came to cause trouble, followed by being summoned here to listen to nauseating words, and that’s it?
If there truly was nothing wrong, she wouldn’t mind enduring it once more, having tolerated so much over the years. But what if Ye Hongyang decided to use those several recipes to buy into the business again? Was she expected to endure it a few more times?
Madam Yin stood up, and just as she was about to perform a curtsey and leave, it was as if she suddenly remembered something and asked, "I have something I’m uncertain about and would like to ask my father and mother for guidance, so I can have a clear mind."
The Duchess looked at Duke An. Duke An sighed inwardly; it seemed they couldn’t keep fobbing her off.
"Speak," the Duchess said.
Madam Yin cast a faint glance at Ye Hongyang and said, "Father and mother know that for many years, the Crown Prince has only come to my courtyard to scold me because of Ah Yan, and has never truly sat down with me for a moment. After Ah Yan left, I barely get to see the Crown Prince.
But just now, the Crown Prince actually came to my room, not only did he sit for a moment, he also brought out two pieces of paper with recipes for pastries on them, offering to help me out. He said it was a recipe for a dairy pastry from the imperial palace and wanted to use the recipe to take a forty percent share in the Pastry House I manage. I was shocked and didn’t know what to do. Therefore, I wanted to ask father and mother for advice on what I should do?"
The mention of the dairy pastry recipe immediately reminded Duke An of the two booklets and letters that Lian Gui had brought back, which recorded not just a few dairy pastry recipes, but even included methods for making cheese curds and butter.
