Chapter 266 Rouge from the Western Regions
Su Nuobai listened to the two people bickering all the way.
I had just sat down and had not had time to greet Uncle Jia and the others when a woman sat down opposite me.
But it frightened everyone around and made them cry out: "Ghost!"
"Stop shouting, this is a human, not a ghost." Su Nuobai and the others covered their ears and looked at the group of people shouting blindly.
"Ah! It's not a ghost!" Grandpa Jia felt like his heart was about to stop.
"I'm sorry, young lady! It's really your appearance..." He didn't know how to describe it.
Chen Xianyuan also knew that she looked like a ghost now. Except for her increasingly radiant face, she was becoming thinner and thinner.
"Master Su, I would like you to help me see what's wrong with me."
Su Nuobai saw that there was a sinister aura on her, and this sinister aura had been with her for a long time. Now her face looked dead.
"When did this happen to you?"
Chen Xianyuan: "I don't know either. I wasn't like this at the beginning."
"Don't you remember?" Su Nuobai asked.
Chen Xianyuan nodded: "Yeah, when I noticed it, it seemed to have become like this."
"But I...I..." She couldn't continue.
"And what?" Su Nuobai looked at her and asked.
"I was putting on makeup in front of the mirror, and what I saw in the mirror was a skeleton." Chen Xianyuan couldn't help but tremble when she said this.
Su Nuobai: "Did you receive a box of rouge from the Western Regions before? The color was very beautiful. You liked it at first sight and used it every day."
"And the more I use it, the better my skin becomes. I look radiant."
"Yes, I received a box of rouge from the Western Regions before. I heard that it is very popular and hard to buy. I only managed to buy such a box through the help of others."
"I always use them sparingly after buying them, for fear that I won't be able to buy more after using them up." Chen Xianyuan said, still feeling a little regretful that she didn't buy a few more boxes.
Su Nuobai knew what she was thinking by looking at her expression, and suddenly he was speechless: "It's a good thing you used it sparingly, otherwise you wouldn't be sitting across from me now, but lying in a coffin, sleeping in the ground forever."
"Ah! No way!" Chen Xianyuan looked incredulous.
"Do you know what this thing is made of? You should know that you can apply it on your face. I can only say, girl, you are this!" Su Nuobai said and gave a thumbs up.
Everyone around immediately became interested and looked at her: "Master Su, what on earth is this?"
"This rouge is made from grave soil mixed with the blood of a deceased woman. Just one use will give you a smooth and rosy complexion."
"Use it a few times, and I guarantee you'll be as radiant as this girl, but you'll also become thinner."
"Do you know why?"
Chen Xianyuan's face was as pale as it could be: "Master Su, what am I talking about?"
"You've become the nourishment for these dead souls. They suck your energy every night. Do you think you can still gain weight?"
"When your energy and spirit are completely gone, you will be dead and can lie down on the board." Su Nuobai looked at her and said.
"I, can I still be saved?" Chen Xianyuan was scared now.
"You are still alive, which means there is still hope. The friend I recommended it to you before may not be able to be saved." Su Nuobai raised his hand and drew a talisman in front of her.
With a gentle push of her palm, the talisman entered her body.
The people around only heard a woman's shrill scream, which was creepy.
Chen Xianyuan's body trembled slightly: "Master Su, am I okay now?"
"Buy a protective amulet and wear it close to your body. Get more sun exposure during this period. Don't put anything of unknown origin on your body in the future." Su Nuobai warned.
"Miss, Miss, Miss Ganxu is gone." The little maid ran over hurriedly.
Chen Xianyuan almost fell to the ground. She turned to look at Su Nuobai: "Su, Master Su, she is the girl who introduced me to buy rouge."
"It's too late, let's go back!" Su Nuobai shook his head slightly.
"Thank you, Master Su." Chen Xianyuan and her maid quickly took out all the money they had and handed it to Su Nuobai.
Mo Bao reached out to take the money and handed her a talisman.
A man who looked like a housekeeper hurriedly walked up to Su Nuobai and sat down: "Master Su, could you please go to my master's house and take a look?"
"What's the matter?" Su Nuobai looked at him and had a general idea of what was going on.
Butler Li hesitated for a moment before speaking, "I don't know what happened. After our house was renovated, the old man inexplicably hanged himself under the beam."
"My master almost hanged himself in the same spot yesterday. Luckily, a servant who was up at night saw him and saved him."
"Why didn't your master come and invite us himself, but let you come by yourself?" Su Nuobai smiled faintly.
"The old lady and the mistress are afraid that something will happen to the master again, so they dare not leave his side. They really have no other choice, so they asked me to ask you to go and take a look." Butler Li answered truthfully.
"Let me ask you, has your family's head ever done anything harmful to the world?" Su Nuobai looked at him and asked.
Butler Li hesitated and didn't know how to answer.
"Even if you don't answer, I know that your old man raped a girl three years ago. The girl couldn't bear the humiliation and jumped into the river."
"You're afraid her family will come and make trouble, so the bad guy filed a complaint first, saying that she seduced your old man and threatened to commit suicide because she didn't get the money."
"In the end, he drowned in the river. The fake play became real, and he also beat up the father who depended on him for survival and came to seek justice. Am I right?" Su Nuobai looked at him.
Butler Li's face turned pale and blue: "Master Su, our old master was confused for a moment, but our master is really a good person."
"Forget it, I'll go with you." Su Nuobai stood up and prepared to go with him to take a look.
"Master Su, are you coming back?" asked Brother Zhou.
"Come, I still need a fortune telling today!" Su Nuobai said as he got on the Li family's carriage.
The Li family was a landlord with a lot of fertile land, most of which was rented out to nearby farmers.
"Master Su, we're here." Butler Li got out of the car and introduced.
Su Nuobai looked around the house and saw that it had indeed been tampered with. "Let's go and see your master."
Butler Li quickly led his men into a courtyard: "Madam, Master, Madam. Master Su is here."
Two haggard-looking ladies came out of the room. When they saw her, they hurried forward to greet her, "Master Su."
Su Nuobai looked at the two people's faces, didn't say much why, and followed them into the house.
Mr. Li is now lying on the bed, with a very obvious mark on his neck.
"Master Su, please take a seat." Old Madam Li asked her to sit on the stool.
Su Nuobai sat on the stool: "I just want to ask one question, do you know what the old man did in the past?"
