Chapter 390 Self-Doubt



Upon hearing Qiu Fengqin's words, Zhao Qingyan burst out laughing, while a young lady next to her simultaneously cried out in pain.

Zhao Qingyan smiled because she remembered the girl's delicate appearance, while the girl next to her who was crying out in pain was being pinched by Mu Wan'er.

Who would have thought that, just as Zhou Qingfang was enjoying the excitement, Mu Wan'er, who was holding her arm, pinched her.

"Wan'er, why are you pinching me? Did Qingfang offend you in some way?"

Although Zhou Qingfang was only the daughter of the Minister of Works, she was a daughter born to an old man and was therefore quite favored.

Normally, let alone being pinched, even just getting a finger poked would make me cry for half a day.

At this moment, Mu Wan'er pinched her so hard that tears streamed down her face.

Realizing she had lost her composure, Mu Wan'er now felt like strangling Zhou Qingfang.

I only remembered it after hearing Qiu Fengqin's words that the person who embarrassed me that day was actually the owner of Huicui Pavilion.

Now that the young master has arrived, what if he recognizes me? Where will I put my face then?

I was actually trying to avoid mentioning the young master of the Hui Cui Pavilion.

Well, now that brat has yelled like that, everyone has noticed her.

No matter how much hatred she felt, Mu Wan'er couldn't possibly show it. After carefully adjusting her expression,

"Qingfang, I'm so sorry. My leg suddenly cramped up and was in a lot of pain, so I accidentally used too much force with my hands."

Sister, are you alright?

My younger sister is always delicate, and I don't know if she's bruised. My older sister has some good ointment at home, so I'll have someone send it to her later.

"Qingfang must know her sister, right?"

Zhou Qingfang can still feel the pain.

He pulled his arm away from Mu Wan'er's grasp.

"I have plasters at home, so I won't trouble Wan'er."

"Alright, I'm not really in the mood today, so I'll head back now. Wan'er, go play with the other young ladies."

She wiped away her tears and left.

Mu Wan'er was left standing there, bewildered and incredibly embarrassed.

Zhao Qingyan now recognized that Mu Wan'er was the one who threw the handkerchief.

He gave Qiu Fengqin a meaningful smile.

He thought to himself, "This girl is sly and mischievous; I like her."

So, she took out a lip rouge from her bag.

"This is a lip balm that Huicuige recently formulated. After applying it, the lip color will not be too striking, and it will also be moisturizing."

"Miss Qiu, if you don't mind, please accept it."

Qiu Fengqin never expected that just by coming over and saying a few words, such good things would happen.

"I'm so sorry. I haven't even given my sister a gift yet."

Zhao Qingyan's delicate hand

“Miss Qiu usually has everything she wants, so the fact that she accepted this shows that she trusts our Huicui Pavilion. I’m overjoyed.”

The girls who had been surrounding them were no longer calm.

What a great deal! You can get free stuff just by saying a few words. It's not exactly a great deal, but the stuff looks really good.

Putting everything else aside, just looking at the makeup on the young mistress's face, you can tell that what she has in her hands must be of high quality.

Of course, Zhao Qingyan would never tell them that the things she used were all high-tech products from the future.

Besides, I didn't do anything today except apply sunscreen and a little lip balm. That's what you call being naturally beautiful.

But the ladies don't know that they only think Zhao Qingyan's face is beautiful because she applies good products.

They swarmed around them, introducing themselves.

Then praise which dishes at Huicui Pavilion are delicious, which entertainment is the most fun, and so on.

Zhao Qingyan was overjoyed to hear this, and naturally, she gave away everything that was in her bag.

In the end, only an empty bag remained, containing nothing but a few handkerchiefs.

Zhao Qingyan was amazed by the girls' craziness, and at the same time, she gently massaged the muscles in her cheeks a few times. Smiling is tiring, you know.

My facial muscles are almost stiff.

Those who got Zhao Qingyan's things were overjoyed, while those who didn't could only stand by and watch enviously.

Everyone was extremely jealous when they saw the small mirror that was given to Zhang Jing.

These noble ladies all knew how precious glass mirrors were.

Such a priceless item was given away so easily by this young master.

They all regretted it in their hearts, thinking that they shouldn't have been so wasteful.

Zhao Qingyan was well aware of the thoughts of the young ladies.

"Ladies, the Huicui Pavilion will be opening its cosmetics shop, bag shop, and dress shop on the 20th of this month. We welcome you to visit us."

All the ladies who attend this Hundred Flowers Banquet today will receive a souvenir from our shop.

On opening day, all items will be 20% off…

Zhao Qingyan never forgets to do a promotional campaign.

Originally a merchant's daughter, she shouldn't have had much status among these noble ladies, but Zhao Qingyan's offerings were all of high quality, and the Huicui Pavilion's name was quite prestigious.

These days, anyone who hasn't listened to storytelling, eaten at Huicui Pavilion, played billiards, or played mahjong there is embarrassed to say they've seen the world.

Zhao Han's brainwashing ability is that strong.

After Zhao Qingyan promoted it like this, basically everyone who liked her and wanted to buy things from her...

Hurry up and say your names.

If Zhao Qingyan hadn't had such a good memory, she probably would have forgotten what the person's name was as soon as she turned around.

The vast majority of the noble ladies were discussing makeup techniques and clothing combinations with Zhao Qingyan.

Only Mu Wan'er stood to the side, clenching her fists, her hands already sticky.

She never knew how the legitimate daughter of the Grand Tutor's family could be outshone by a merchant's daughter.

He was so angry he could have gritted his teeth. If it weren't for the fact that today was the Hundred Flowers Banquet, he probably would have lost control and stormed off.

Looking at Zhao Qingyan's pretty face, she wished she could scratch it raw with her claws to vent her anger.

The young men in the corridor felt as if they had experienced their first failure in life.

Especially the self-proclaimed dashing young masters and noblemen of various families,

In the past, she was the object of desire for many noble ladies, but today she's completely ignored.

Has her charm diminished?

This plunged many sons of noble families, who were usually self-important, into deep self-doubt.

The noble ladies formed a circle, chattering excitedly about topics the men couldn't understand.

She became even more trapped in self-doubt.

Those with clear minds looked at their fine clothes, glanced at their companions standing beside them, and then leaned out of the corridor to see their reflection in the lake below.

No problem, you're still as handsome and dashing as ever.

It's just that the timing of my departure today might have been wrong, or the way I went out might have been wrong, so it didn't have the effect I had in mind.

The Fifth Prince, the Eighth Prince, and the Ninth Prince have come today to choose a consort. They had planned to find an opportunity to chat with the young lady they had already chosen, but this is how it turned out.
