Chapter 552 - 0328 The dowry is the entire Flower Moon Building (two-in-one)
Zhu Pingniang saw Xu Chang’an’s face full of helplessness, so she didn’t give him much time to speak and directly shoved a box of wrapped rouge into his arms, saying at the same time,
"It’s just ordinary rouge, do you think I would deceive you? You’ll get used to it. Haven’t you noticed that the girls here don’t sell them themselves but always keep them at home?"
"Zhu..."
"Say that again?!" Zhu Pingniang’s voice suddenly rose a few notches, glaring at Xu Chang’an, "Even if it’s a gift from me, you won’t accept it this way?"
As Zhu Pingniang finished speaking, she suddenly remembered something, her eyes narrowing.
She suddenly seemed less hurried, speaking in a calm tone, "Ah, the cultivation technique you wanted also requires something to aid its use... Thinking about it this way, nothing is more suitable than the Red Lotus."
"Kid, I haven’t chosen the cultivation technique yet." Zhu Pingniang laughed, holding up a finger, "When the time comes, I’ll tell you that this crimson Red Lotus is more suitable for cultivation, and you decide whether... to use it or not."
Xu Chang’an: "..."
He had nothing to say.
Xu Chang’an glanced down at the storage pouch on his waist.
Indeed, practicing this cultivation technique does need an item to distinguish the cultivation of the Yin Yang Dao from everyday married life.
But he originally chose those nice clothes, so how did it suddenly escalate to administering rouge to Miss Yun?
Yet he had no way to refuse, because as long as Zhu Pingniang said that the Red Lotus was more suitable, no matter how much doubt he had in his heart, he only had this one option to trust.
Xu Chang’an sighed softly, holding the rouge box, and looked up calmly, saying, "You’re just giving me a proper reason."
"Proper reason?" Zhu Pingniang tilted her head, tricked for a moment by Xu Chang’an’s serious tone, but quickly her cheeks flushed: "Pah, I thought what you said, a proper reason to bully Miss Yun, right... you’re married to her, what’s the big deal."
"You’re right." Xu Chang’an found himself without a choice, with a sense of helplessness and a faint smile under the straw hat.
"Men... sigh." Zhu Pingniang hugged Miss Lu’s waist, pointing at Xu Chang’an’s face and said, "Look at that, this is a stinky man, like whoever you want but don’t like... mm..."
Miss Lu tightly covered Zhu Pingniang’s mouth, turned back, and gently said to Xu Chang’an, "Young Master, the ingredients for today have been instructed to be sent over by the maid, Sister always causes trouble like this, sorry for the inconvenience."
Xu Chang’an shook his head, understanding Miss Lu’s meaning, he wisely cupped his hands to Zhu Pingniang in farewell, then turned and left.
It was only after his figure completely disappeared that Miss Lu released Zhu Pingniang’s hand.
"You dead girl, just let him go like that? I hadn’t finished talking yet." Zhu Pingniang covered the red mark on her face, discontentedly prodding Miss Lu.
"Sister, with you embarrassing me like that, if the young master hadn’t left, who knows what would happen." Miss Lu, full of disdain, took out a handkerchief from her bosom and gently cleaned the moisture left on her hands by Zhu Pingniang’s breath.
After drying her fingers, Miss Lu carefully put away the handkerchief, then pointed at Zhu Pingniang’s face, "Besides, when did you say you brought me to the young master to stuff a box of red rouge into his arms, what are you doing?"
"Giving is giving, so what." Zhu Pingniang shrugged.
"Yes, I like the young master, you like him too." Miss Lu said incredulously, "But you rushing to send medicine to the young master, acting like you want to lower the young master’s standards... what’s that about?"
In her eyes, Zhu Pingniang was a downright bad woman at this moment.
Miss Lu couldn’t comprehend Zhu Pingniang’s claim of promoting the relationship between Xu Chang’an and Yun Qian, she just felt that Zhu Pingniang must have some ulterior motive, deliberately guiding Xu Chang’an from a gentleman to a lecher, with ulterior motives.
As for what she thought that motive was...
Naturally, it was that once Xu Chang’an became fickle... he would take concubines.
"You really still have Qingluo on your mind, I just knew ever since Qingluo went to the Immortal Sect, you’ve been restless at night thinking about her name."
"Get lost, I’m worrying about her Immortal Talent, what do you know." Zhu Pingniang watched as Miss Lu exposed her, angrily stomping her foot.
"In any case, don’t meddle in my schemes, just maintain your own flirtatious image, what are you poking around for." Zhu Pingniang said, pointing at the now completely petrified braided girl behind the counter, sighing, "Alright, you’ve spilled all our beans, how do you plan to explain this?"
Miss Lu recalled her earlier hurried words to Xu Chang’an, her mouth twitching slightly.
"..." The braided girl selling rouge was stunned.
What had she just heard.
Qingluo?
Sister Liu’s name?
The man just now... was actually Young Master Xu?
Ah.
The girl’s face changed dramatically.
What had she just said to the young master... the young master too, why dress so strangely, if he had just revealed his identity sooner, why would she not believe him...
Since entering the city, Liu Qingluo had always taken care of her, even redeeming her freedom, opening a shop was with Liu Qingluo’s help...
Now it’s a mess, later when Sister Liu learns that she doubted Young Master Xu, how could she explain it?
The braided girl thought, suddenly her entire body shook violently, her fingers couldn’t help but clutch the counter tightly, her knuckles turning white.
Because she quickly realized one thing, if that man earlier was Young Master Xu from the Immortal Sect, then the wife he bought the rouge for must be that Miss Yun?
