“Yes! Father, eldest brother is right. He hasn’t had a chance to harm that girl yet, but third brother has already started. So you must discipline third brother properly and not let him do anything to offend people. Otherwise, our whole family will be disgraced, and we won’t even have any patients coming to Sheng Bao for treatment!” Rong Sheng added fuel to the fire.

Rong Dong'an nodded: "Sheng Bao is right!"

Ronghua sighed helplessly, "...Shengbao..."

Rong Mu looked at Rong Sheng pitifully: "Sheng Bao, how could you do this? Third Brother really has nothing to do with Miss Su Wenlan. We were just discussing the business of Xiaoxiang Pavilion, and then we accidentally touched hands. There's nothing wrong with that."

Is that really the case? No!

When he finished work, Xiaoxiang Pavilion had already tidied up and was preparing to close and go home to rest. However, Rong Mu forgot that he hadn't sold a set of rouge and face powder. Business at Xiaoxiang Pavilion was so good today that he simply didn't have time to go out and sell the set of rouge and face powder that Rong Sheng had given him.

However, Rong Sheng had already given him the things she had asked him to give to Miss Su Wenlan, and he had carefully explained them to her as Rong Sheng had instructed. Su Wenlan was very happy and trusted Rong Sheng very much, so when he received the medicine and other things that Rong Sheng had prepared for her, he went back to try them out.

I didn't see Miss Su Wenlan all day until I finished work.

“Young Master Rong Mu, are you going home? Could you please wait a moment? I have a few words I would like to ask you to pass on to Miss Rong Sheng.” Miss Su Wenlan said very politely and gently, “Miss Rong Sheng is too busy, I’m sorry to bother her.”

“Miss Su, you’re too kind. If there’s anything you need, I can help you pass it on to Sheng Bao,” Rong Mu said.

Su Wenlan said, "It's like this, I took the medicine that Miss Rong Sheng prepared for me as instructed. I know the effect won't be great at first, but it will get better slowly! What I wanted to say was, could the medicine that Miss Rong Sheng prescribed be used on other girls with the same freckles on their faces? If so, I'll take that girl to the clinic to see Miss Rong Sheng and ask her to prescribe another dose of the medicine! I'm willing to pay any price!"

"So that's how it is! Don't worry, Miss Su, I will definitely pass on the message! I'll tell you first thing tomorrow morning, whether it's feasible or not, I'll let you know," Rong Mu said honestly.

Su Wenlan smiled and said, "Then thank you very much, Young Master Rong Mu."

Rong Mu added, "Actually, Miss Su, you don't need to go there yourself for such a small matter. You can just have your maid tell me. It's not safe for a young lady to be traveling alone in the middle of the night!"

Su Wenlan's face stiffened, but Rong Mu did not notice the panic in her eyes. She pretended to be calm and said, "I... I just came to take a look at Xiaoxiang Pavilion, but I'm too late, and Xiaoxiang Pavilion has already closed!"

"I see!" Rong Mu said, "In that case, I'll head home now!"

Su Wenlan frowned, her gaze immediately falling on the box in Rong Mu's hand. "What are you holding?"

"N-nothing..." Rong Mu stammered. For some reason, he didn't want Su Wenlan to discover the rouge and powder in his hand.

One reason is the dark spots on Su Wenlan's face; this set of rouge and powder might irritate her if she sees them.

The second reason was that he didn't want her to see it, even though the rouge and powder set was made by Sheng Bao. He didn't want Miss Su Wenlan to misunderstand that he bought it for another girl or to sell it for money.

"Is it inconvenient to say?" A hint of hurt appeared in Su Wenlan's eyes, but Rong Mu, being oblivious, didn't notice. Instead, he slowly said, "This... is indeed a bit inconvenient."

"Since that's the case, then I won't say anything more." Su Wenlan's tone suddenly became heavy, as if she had suffered a great injustice.

Even if Rong Mu was thick-skinned, he could tell from Su Wenlan's tone that something was wrong, and he looked at her with concern: "Miss Su, what's wrong?"

Su Wenlan sighed inwardly, feeling helpless. How could she have fallen for such a jerk? He hadn't even noticed her feelings. But if she made it clear beforehand, wouldn't that make her seem worthless, like she was clinging to him? People would gossip about her then.

But if it's not made clear, who knows when Rong Mu, this clueless young man, will realize his own feelings.

In truth, Su Wenlan herself couldn't explain what was so good about Rong Mu. But he had caught her eye and captured her heart, making her think about him uncontrollably every day and want to see him.

But if she didn't seize the opportunity, her parents would arrange a marriage for her once she returned to the capital. Before, because of her body odor and dark spots on her face, her parents wouldn't have made things difficult for her, and most people wouldn't have wanted to marry her, fearing they'd make a laughingstock of her. But now that her body odor was gone and her dark spots were being treated, how could her parents possibly be as indulgent as before when she went back?!

"Nothing? If Young Master Rong Mu wants to cheer me up, just tell me what you're holding?" Su Wenlan said in a low voice, looking very tired.

Rong Mu hesitated for a moment, then took out the box and slowly opened it: "Actually, this is rouge and face powder that my sister Shengbao made herself, and she gave it to me this morning! Miss Su should know that my brother and I have our eyes on Xiaoxiang Pavilion, and that Miss Su's brother is interested in selling Xiaoxiang Pavilion, but because I really have no money and don't know how to run it, he patiently taught me! Miss Su played a very big role in this. If it weren't for Miss Su, Young Master Su would never have compromised, because it would be too much of a loss for Young Master Su!"

Sheng Bao wanted me to raise enough money to buy Xiaoxiang Pavilion as soon as possible, so she took the time to make a set of rouge and face powder for me to sell! But Xiaoxiang Pavilion is doing so well today that I don't have time to sell the rouge and face powder at all! Just now... just now Miss Su wanted to see this box, but I didn't agree, not because I didn't want to show you the rouge and face powder.

Rather, I find it inconvenient because... because of you, Miss Su... so please don't be angry or sad, Miss Su!

Su Wenlan: "..." After all that, it turned out to be a set of rouge and face powder? And it was made by Miss Rong Sheng herself.

That's true. His face was covered in dark spots, and that bastard Rong Mu definitely didn't want to upset him, so he kept them hidden and refused to show them.

"Rouge and face powder made by Miss Rong Sheng herself?"

"right!"

"How about this, give me the rouge and powder, and I'll help you sell them!" If it weren't for the fact that she was taking the medicine Rong Sheng had prepared for her and applying the ointment Rong Sheng had given her, she would definitely have kept them for herself.
