Rong Qingqing was pushed so hard by him that she almost fell. Before she could react, she heard him say this.
"What face powder? I didn't put any on." She frowned, puzzled.
I had just started to find this guy a little more agreeable, but I didn't expect him to immediately revert to his old ways.
Sure enough, a villain is a villain, forever blacklisted.
"Then why does it smell so strong?" Xie Jingrun frowned, looked around, then looked up at her as if remembering something. "Do you have body odor?"
Rong Qingqing: "..."
She raised her arm with a forced smile. "I'm not entirely sure either. Why don't you smell it yourself, Lord Marquis?"
Xie Jingrun's handsome face darkened, and he stared at her as if she were a dead person. A cruel smile curled at the corner of his mouth. "Rong Qingqing, do you want to die?"
Rong Qingqing shuddered, her hair standing on end. She quickly lowered her arm and forced a dry laugh, saying, "I was just joking. I was just trying to lighten the mood. Please don't take it seriously, Lord Marquis."
Seeing that his expression was still displeased, and fearing that he might actually slash at her with his embroidered spring knife if he got angry, she immediately added, "Perhaps it's because the space here is rather cramped, so even a little scent becomes strong and clear, but I assure you, I really didn't put on any perfume." She paused, "It should be my natural body odor, which is all-natural and has no impurities."
Upon hearing this, Xie Jingrun glanced at her and said, "Shameless!" He paused, then added, "Are you sure you don't have body odor?"
Rong Qingqing: "..."
Looking at the man who pushed the door open and walked in, she really wanted to beat him up.
Who is this person? They're so difficult to please!
But she wondered if it was just her imagination, because she also thought the smell was a bit strong. Could she really have body odor?
Thinking of this, she quickly raised her arm and smelled it.
There's nothing there at all; it must be Xie Jingrun's nose that's the problem.
Seeing him go inside, she quickly followed him in.
The interior structure is somewhat like a sealed room, and at this moment, it is filled with many things.
She opened a nearby box and saw that it contained some fine porcelain.
She reached out and touched it; it felt delicate and smooth. If she were to sell it, it would surely fetch a good price.
As she thought about it, her eyes sparkled.
It seems she's about to strike it rich.
But compared to these things, she was more concerned about the thousand taels of gold recorded on the list.
Gold...
At this moment, Xie Jingrun opened a box.
Rong Qingqing looked over and was stunned to see that it was filled with pieces of wood.
Why did Lan put the wood in the box?
"So that's what it is, the fragrance it gives off," Xie Jingrun suddenly said.
"What?" Rong Qingqing walked over and curiously picked up a piece of wood.
Instantly, a wonderful aroma filled the air.
She immediately realized that the fragrance she had smelled outside was coming from this wood.
"Your mother's private property is indeed substantial. Such a large box of agarwood, if sold outside, would provide you with enough to eat and wear for the rest of your life," Xie Jingrun glanced at her and said indifferently.
Upon hearing this, Rong Qingqing dropped the piece of wood in her hand back into the box with a "thud," and stared at him with wide eyes, "Agarwood?"
Xie Jingrun glanced at her and suddenly said, "Rong Qingqing, your reaction is so much like that of a country girl who has never seen the world. Did you grow up in the countryside?"
Rong Qingqing said awkwardly, "You don't have to be so mean. So what if I grew up in the countryside? Have you ever seen a toad?"
"Hmm?" Xie Jingrun narrowed his eyes, his voice carrying a hint of danger.
