"Third Brother, what's wrong?" Rong Sheng looked at Rong Mu with concern. "Did something happen? Why do you seem so distracted?"
Rong Mu shook his head: "Third Brother is fine, nothing happened, and he sold 205 sets of rouge and face powder today! After deducting the money given to Qinxiang Pavilion, we made a pure profit of 20,500 taels of silver! And because Qinxiang Pavilion raised the price of each set of cosmetics to 120 taels of silver, they made a profit of 4,100 taels of silver! How about that?"
Rong Sheng stared at Rong Mu for a moment and said, "Third Brother is really amazing! But I do know roughly how much these cosmetics can sell for."
"But I also gave a set to the girls at Qinxiang Pavilion, because they will be helping us sell cosmetics. So I took the liberty of giving them a set so they can learn too, and in the future, Miss Su Wenlan and I won't have to go to Qinxiang Pavilion all the time!"
Su Wenlan? Upon hearing Su Wenlan's name, Rong Mu's hard-won smile vanished instantly, making Rong Sheng immediately realize that something serious had happened.
So he quickly pressed on, "Third Brother, you'd better tell me the truth! If you don't, I'll start making wild guesses!"
This time, Rong Mu didn't refute. His face was still a little hot, his eyes became unnatural, and a blush appeared on his cheeks. Seeing Rong Mu like this, Rong Sheng's eyes widened: "System, tell me quickly, has Third Brother and Sister Su made further progress?"
System: "No! Your third brother even angered Su Wenlan!"
"How is that possible?"
"You can ask!"
"Third Brother, why is your face red? Tell me quickly, what happened that made you blush and your heart race?" Rong Sheng asked deliberately, "Is it because of Miss Su?"
"Shengbao, don't make wild guesses, nothing of the sort!" After Rong Mu finished speaking, a light suddenly flashed in his mind. He quickly grasped the light, and it was as if he was in a fog and was gradually clearing away the clouds, about to see the sunlight.
Seeing this, Rong Sheng quickly said, "Third Brother, you've fallen for Miss Su Wenlan, haven't you? Your blushing and racing heart mean you've fallen for her!" It was a definite statement!
"I..." Seeing Rong Sheng's reaction, Rong Mu didn't refute her, but instead spoke his mind: "Today I saw that the rouge and powder you made are selling very well, so I want to buy Qinxiang Pavilion and promote it more so that more people know that Qinxiang Pavilion has rouge and powder made by the divine physician Rong Sheng herself, which can be used by people of all ages! And the effects are excellent, for example, Madam Song, etc..."
But when I saw Miss Su Wenlan, this beautiful thought vanished instantly. Miss Su had helped me so much, and what I had done was so immoral. So I changed my approach, thinking it would be more tactful, but it still hurt Miss Su's feelings. Miss Su was angry, very angry!
"What did you say?" Rong Sheng roughly understood what Rong Mu had said.
"I...I genuinely wanted the rouge and face powder to sell like hotcakes, but I felt it was unethical to buy Qinxiang Pavilion, so I suggested collaborating with Miss Su to promote it properly. But Miss Su saw through my scheme, bluntly saying I was trying to kick her away after I'd served my purpose! I...I didn't have that intention at the time; I just hadn't thought it through! Third Brother especially regrets saying that, disappointing and hurting Miss Su. I wanted to apologize, and I did, but Miss Su is still very angry. I was so confused; I didn't know what to do."
So I waited until Qinxiang Pavilion closed before going home. But my legs wouldn't obey me, and I went to the Su family's house. But I didn't go in to look for Miss Su; instead, I came back! Now I know why I was so distraught and heartbroken after Miss Su left! I understand, Shengbao, I truly understand!
Rong Mu was extremely excited, his eyes shining brightly, just like starlight.
"What do you understand?" Rong Sheng asked with a smile.
Rong Mu said, "I understand, I...I...Just as Sheng Bao said, I have fallen in love with Miss Su, I have really fallen in love with Miss Su!"
"Third Brother, are you sure you've fallen for Miss Su? You're not just deceiving yourself?" Rong Sheng said earnestly, "Don't fall for Sister Su out of guilt, because Sister Su doesn't care about your feelings stemming from guilt! If a girl accepts a man, she definitely wants to spend her whole life with him. You need to figure out how long your feelings can last."
After all, liking is liking, and love is love! Only love can bring you happiness! So, Third Brother, to avoid hurting Sister Su, I hope you think this through. Also, don't tell Sister Su until you've clearly understood your own feelings! Besides, you don't know if Sister Su has feelings for you either. What if she doesn't? Then you'll be in unrequited love!
Rong Sheng's words were like a bucket of cold water poured over Rong Mu's head, making him clear-headed and causing him to fall into deep thought.
Rong Sheng still hoped that Rong Mu and Su Wenlan could get together soon, as they were already quite old in ancient times when early marriage and childbirth were common.
Their situation is different from that of Han Chan's sister-in-law, so if they don't get married and have children, it will attract a lot of criticism!
"Furthermore! Sister Su's brother is the richest man in Qingluan Kingdom. Do you think Sister Su's parents and Young Master Su Wenxian will accept you? Or even accept our family becoming their in-laws? You know, the sister of the richest man in Qingluan Kingdom can marry into the royal family! Even if the royal family doesn't like Sister Su, Sister Su's brother is rich, so Sister Su will never have to live a life of being bullied!"
"This..." is indeed a problem, and a serious one at that!
"But right now, Third Brother, you must understand your own heart, and Sister Su's heart! If you two are sure you want to be together, then even if the Su family disagrees or makes things difficult for you, you can face it together, and you will have the motivation to keep moving forward and become better and better!!"
Rong Mu suddenly realized: "Sheng Bao, thank you, Third Brother understands!"
"Third Brother, think it over carefully. Sheng Bao really likes Sister Su!" Rong Sheng smiled, but the smile quickly disappeared: "But Third Brother, have you heated the bathwater? I want to take a bath and go to sleep!"
I'm so tired! Today was incredibly tiring! Although I rested for a while in the system space, I didn't recover any of my energy.
She needs a good night's sleep; there are just too many patients, and she can't keep up.
Rong Mu slapped his forehead and apologized to Rong Sheng repeatedly: "I'm sorry, Sheng Bao, it's all my fault. I forgot. I'll go boil some water right away!"
Seeing Rong Mu fully recovered, Rong Sheng smiled sweetly: "Third brother, keep it up! Bring your wife home soon! Make Mom and Dad happy!"
