"Of course I have a way, and I'm 100% confident I can help Miss Su get rid of her underarm odor!" Rong Sheng said confidently.
Su Wenlan was overjoyed. Ever since she developed armpit odor, she had been afraid to go out, fearing that she would be laughed at. Before going out, she would wash her body thoroughly and apply pungent sesame oil. Otherwise, she would not dare to go out, and she dared not stay out for too long.
She consulted many doctors, but they were all useless and couldn't get rid of the underarm odor at all.
She originally lived in the capital. Because her family was a merchant family, a very wealthy one, many people were willing to befriend them, even powerful and influential people. But ever since she developed armpit odor, those people have distanced themselves from her and often speak ill of her behind her back.
That's why my brother took me out of the capital to relax and hopefully find a doctor to help me get rid of my armpit odor. But along the way, he still couldn't get rid of it.
"May I ask your name, young lady?" Su Wenlan asked, suppressing her excitement.
"Rong Sheng, you are fifteen years old!"
"Fifteen? Then you're a year younger than me. I'm already sixteen this year. I'm Su Wenlan!" Su Wenlan asked, "Sister Rong Sheng, if you can really help me get rid of my armpit odor, I'll pay any price!" Their family has no shortage of money; even if it's ten thousand taels, they'll do it!
Rong Sheng smiled, "Sister Su, you're too kind. Although my family isn't as well-off as yours, we're well-fed and clothed, so we don't need you to pay. But..."
“Rong Sheng, just say what you want to say. I’ll agree to whatever you ask!” Su Wenlan said.
Rong Sheng said gratefully, "Sister Su, don't worry, I won't make any excessive demands. I originally didn't plan to make any demands, but then I thought... my third brother is called Rong Mu. He's outside right now, discussing the purchase of Xiaoxiang Pavilion with Sister Su's brother. But our family doesn't have much money. Your brother said that Xiaoxiang Pavilion costs seven hundred taels of silver, and the most expensive one is two thousand taels of silver. We really can't afford that much money. I hope Miss Su's brother can give us a discount."
Su Wenlan smiled knowingly: "Miss Rong Sheng, your request is quite unique. I thought you wanted me to give you Xiaoxiang Pavilion, but it turns out it's such a small request. Well then, I'll go talk to my brother right away. If you can cure my armpit odor, Miss Rong Sheng, the price is negotiable. If you can't, then I can't help you much!"
"Thank you, Miss Su. We don't have high demands, just a lower price would be fine!" Rong Sheng said happily.
They are easily satisfied, not greedy, and would never use gratitude to blackmail others.
So Rong Sheng added, "If Miss Su's brother is willing to give me a discount, then I will help Miss Su remove the dark spots on her face!"
"What?" Su Wenlan exclaimed in surprise, "You can also remove the dark spots on my face?"
She's had dark spots on her face since she was a child, and she's tried many methods to remove them without success. But as she grew up, she started wearing makeup, and with the help of rouge and powder, the dark spots weren't a big problem. It was just that she had body odor.
“Of course!” Rong Sheng said confidently.
Su Wenlan felt that today was the best day she had had in recent years. It would be even better if the big problem that had been bothering her for many years could be solved immediately, but Su Wenlan knew that this was not something that could be solved in a short time.
After tidying up briefly and applying sesame oil to her armpits, Su Wenlan followed Rong Sheng out of the outhouse and arrived at the dining table where Rong Mu and the others were.
When Su Wenxian saw Su Wenlan and Rong Sheng come out of the outhouse together, his expression changed slightly, but he didn't say anything.
After Su Wenlan greeted Rong Mu and the others, she pulled Su Wenxian aside and whispered to each other. Watching their expressions change from happy to angry to depressed, Rong Mu was completely confused: "Shengbao, why are you with Miss Su?"
What are they talking about?
Rong Sheng gave Rong Mu a reassuring look and said, "Third Brother, don't worry, you've got Xiaoxiang Pavilion in the bag!"
"Why?" Rong Mu didn't understand why Sheng Bao could say such a thing so confidently all of a sudden.
Rong Sheng pointed at Su Wenlan: "Because of Miss Su! Alright, as for why, I won't tell you. You should think about the price Xiaoxiang Pavilion is willing to pay. You can discuss it with Su Wenxian later!"
Upon hearing this, Rong Mu agreed, and began to think about it seriously, occasionally exchanging ideas with Rong Sheng and the others.
However, Rong Sheng's attention was on Su Wenlan. She watched as Su Wenlan's complexion gradually worsened and her expression became complicated. But as Su Wenlan's complexion improved and she even showed a satisfied smile, Rong Sheng knew that things were settled.
As expected, Su Wenlan pulled Su Wenxian to their side and said, "Miss Rong Sheng, my sister just mentioned that you could help her with something. May I ask you, are you a doctor?"
“Exactly!” Rong Sheng replied readily.
"Do you know that no doctor can cure my sister's illness? Are you sure you can?"
"I swear a solemn oath that if I cannot cure Miss Su's illness, I am willing to be beaten to death outside!" Rong Sheng said with conviction.
Su Wenxian choked. He had wanted to make Rong Sheng back down and let him experience the pleasure of 'crushing' Gu Beiyi, but Rong Sheng was so confident and self-assured that his mischievousness vanished instantly.
“Since you’ve sworn a solemn oath, I’ll give you that chance! The day my sister recovers will be the day Xiaoxiang Pavilion changes hands!” Su Wenxian agreed, but her gaze fell on Rong Mu: “Third Young Master Rong, based on my interactions with you, I think you’re still a bit lacking in business acumen.”
Although this Xiaoxiang Pavilion is not as good as the others, it is still my life's work, and I don't want to see it ruined so soon after you take over. Therefore, while my sister is receiving treatment, you will stay at the Xiaoxiang Pavilion to work, and I will also give you some pointers!
Upon hearing this, Rong Mu's pupils contracted, and then a surge of joy rushed from his feet to his head: "Young Master Su, is what you're saying true?"
A gentleman's word is as good as his bond!
"That's great!" What Rong Mu lacks most is experience and methods. If Young Master Su is willing to teach him, then he won't be afraid of losses!
Even if there are losses, they won't be too severe.
“Well…” Rong Mu thought for a moment, “Then I’ll come over first thing tomorrow morning, and I’ll go home and tell my parents!”
Instead of giving a formal explanation, he told his parents that he needed to earn money to support Shengbao and save up for his wedding. He would temporarily fool his parents, and once he took over Xiaoxiang Pavilion, he would tell them the truth.
Su Wenxian nodded: "Okay!"
So Gu Beiyi became an invisible man, accomplishing nothing. He gave Su Wenxian a cold look, which made Su Wenxian's feet go cold, and she wished she could run away.
There's no way around it, Gu Beiyi is just too terrifying!!
