Seeing Zheng Liang's confused gaze, Yang Ning looked up at him and asked, "Do you want to know?"
He nodded, his eyes still fixed on her with curiosity.
Yang Ning chuckled before patting his head as if he were a puppy and explained gently, "Do you remember when Madam Guo came to the palace for the tea party, and I gave return gifts to all the ladies?"
Zheng Liang nodded, still unsure of the connection between those gifts and the documents in Yang Ning's hands that she was reading intently.
"Those makeup and skincare items weren't purchased from anywhere or imported from other kingdoms. I crafted them using local produce. That day, I distributed them not only to Madam Guo but also to other ladies as a gesture of gratitude and sincerity as well. I wanted them to try the sample of the products in disguise for the gifts. It was a win-win situation!" she explained.
