Liang Wushuang searched the street for a while but didn't find the person she was looking for. She stopped in front of the rouge shop, stayed for a moment, and walked into the shop.
A female clerk came up to her and greeted her enthusiastically, "What do you want to buy, young lady? We have a lot of new rouge and pearl powder in our shop, which is perfect for drawing the shape of flying clouds."
Liang Wushuang glanced around, her eyes falling on the back of the woman in the plain brocade jacket. She shook her head at the waitress, "I'll just take a look."
The female shopkeeper was still trying rouge on Liu Yaoyu and Yu Fuling. Yu Jiao was bored, so she went to another counter to look at the balms. She smelled the scent from time to time and asked the female clerk, "How long can the fragrance of these balms last?"
The waitress smiled and said, "This balm is made from the freshest peach dew in April. It will give you a sweet fragrance all day long when you apply it on your face."
"Show it to me."
A woman's voice sounded from behind. Yu Jiao subconsciously looked over. The woman smiled faintly at her, took the small box of balm from the waitress, lowered her head and smelled it.
Yu Jiao was stunned for a moment, looking at her pretty and gentle face, she unexpectedly felt a very familiar feeling.
"This balm smells nice." Although Liang Wushuang was praising him, his tone was very light, as if he was not praising the balm.
The waitress smiled and said, "If you like, you can try applying it on the back of your hand. Our balm can make the skin smooth and moisturized. Whether you use it on your hands or face, it can make your skin so soft that it seems you can squeeze water out of it."
Liang Wushuang held the small box of balm in his hand and looked at Yu Jiao with a half-smile, "How can I feel so embarrassed? I think this girl was the first to like me. It's always bad to steal someone else's favor."
Yu Jiao could sense some hidden meaning in her words, but since this was the first time they met, she must have been overthinking it.
"Girl, just buy it if you like it. I'm just asking, not saying I want to buy it." Yu Jiao said.
The female clerk explained, "We still have a lot of this balm in stock in our store. The box in the girl's hand is just put on the counter for customers to try."
There was no embarrassment on Liang Wushuang's face. "It turns out that I misunderstood." She put the small box of balm back on the counter.
"Third sister, what do you like?" Liu Yaoyu had already tried out the rouge and picked out a few and asked the shopkeeper to pack them for her. Seeing Yu Jiao standing in front of the rouge cabinet, she walked closer and said, "Ask the shopkeeper to pack up whatever you like, and Second Sister will buy it for you."
Yu Jiao smiled and shook her head, "I'm just taking a look, have you tried the rouge?"
Liang Wushuang pretended to look at Yanzhi, but in fact he was looking at Yu Jiao and Liu Yaoyu calmly.
The female shopkeeper handed over the packaged rouge. Although Yu Fuling tried it, she was reluctant to spend money on such a luxury item. Liu Yaoyu took the initiative to select a box of rouge that suited her complexion from the several types she had tried and paid for it.
"Your brother and Master Lu are still waiting outside?" Liu Yaoyu realized then that they had stayed in the rouge shop for a long time, and said a little embarrassedly.
Yu Jiao smiled softly, "I asked them to go to the teahouse and wait."
Liu Yaoyu took Yu Jiao and Yu Fuling's hands and walked out of the Rouge Shop, "Let's get out quickly, don't let them wait anxiously."
Liang Wushuang turned around and watched the three people leave. He pondered for a moment and asked the female waiter, "Whose family is the girl in the plain brocade jacket? I heard your shopkeeper call one of the girls Miss Liu Er."
The waitress did not suspect anything and said, "Oh, that girl is the third daughter of Master Liu. Didn't you hear Second Miss Liu calling that girl Third Sister?"
"Which Lord Liu?" Liang Wushuang asked again.
Although the female waiter's face was still enthusiastic, her tone was much colder, "Miss, are you here to buy something, or to inquire about someone?"
Liang Wushuang pointed at the box of peach balm and said, "Pack it up for me."
The waitress smiled and said, "Okay! Miss, do you want to see something else?"
Liang Wushuang asked the maid to take out a silver ingot, "Don't take anything else. No need to change the extra money. It's your reward."
The waitress smiled even more, wrapped the balm in her hands and handed it to the maid beside Liang Wushuang, saying, "The second young lady Liu just now is from the family of Master Liu Cifu, and the other third young lady should be the one that people are talking about. She was brought back from outside by the Liu Mansion. I heard that although the third young lady Liu was raised in the countryside before, after she was brought back, not only everyone in the Liu Mansion doted on her, but even Young Marquis Gu treated her differently!"
She lowered her voice and said to Liang Wushuang, "A few days ago, Young Marquis Gu had a fight with Prince Qin outside the Xinglou Gate because of Miss Liu San. Prince Qin lost one of his hands and feet. Many people who were having a drink and a meal at the Xinglou that day saw it with their own eyes. It is said that the matter was even brought before His Majesty!"
"Don't you have anything to do? Stop criticizing the customers here." The female shopkeeper approached and scolded the female waitress lightly.
The female waitress didn't dare to say anything more and turned away.
The female shopkeeper smiled politely at Liang Wushuang, neither flattering nor cold, and greeted, "Miss, would you like to see more rouge and pearl powder?"
Liang Wushuang shook his head.
After leaving the rouge shop, Liang Wushuang glanced at the teahouse diagonally opposite. As far as she knew, not only Xiao Yantai loved to tease women, but Qin Guang was even worse and had even raped someone's wife.
Young Marquis Gu could be so cruel, could it be that the third daughter of the Liu family was molested and insulted by Qin Guang? But she still dared to go out like this, it shouldn't be like she had lost her innocence.
