"Miss, you have such great skin."
In the bathroom, Sang Yu was lying in the bathtub with her hair tied up high. Her fair and smooth back seemed to be glowing, half of it submerged in the water, covering up half of her beauty. However, the shimmering water light shone on her back, and the hazy heat made her even more stunningly beautiful.
Sang Yu doesn't like to be served when she takes a bath.
But Xiaoqing and Xiaohong were too dedicated and insisted on coming to serve, so Sang Yu simply let them go.
Sang Yu is really tired today.
Jishi Pharmacy has already established a firm foothold in Tiandu, and Sang Yu struck while the iron was hot and opened two more branches, and business is booming.
However, because her previous identity was faked, the nominal owner of the pharmacy is Lin Xiaoxiao, and Xia Mingxuan is the apparent backer of the pharmacy.
In the past few days, Sang Yu also revealed his news to Du Sheng Pavilion.
However, there is a small disagreement in Dusheng Pavilion because she has been away for a few years. When she returns, she will have to deal with the problem first.
Hmm...it's a bit annoying.
Of course, the most annoying one is Yu Zhiheng.
Perhaps, her behavior a few days ago gave Yu Zhiheng confidence, causing Yu Zhiheng to be a little... unscrupulous these days.
Every few days, this guy would sneak into her room and hug her to sleep. Although this did not bother her at all, Yu Zhiheng looked obviously very uncomfortable.
But despite this, he still went there regardless of weather conditions, which made Sang Yu a little distressed.
After all, sometimes, she also... felt a little uncomfortable, but the other party insisted on being a gentleman, which made her a little... helpless.
How could she subtly tell him that she didn't mind?
"My lady, I think your skin color would be particularly stunning if you wore red at the banquet tomorrow."
Sang Yu was thinking when Xiaohong behind her spoke again, interrupting her thoughts.
"banquet?"
"Miss, have you forgotten?" Xiaoqing, who was busy at work, spoke up at this time, "A few days ago, the lady of Yongchang Jue Mansion sent you an invitation, inviting you to her house for a small gathering."
"A small gathering? What's it about?" Sang Yu had really forgotten about this.
"They only said it was a small gathering at the mansion, but didn't specify the reason. However, I inquired and found out that the Yongchang Duke's mansion also hosted a banquet for your good friend, Miss Xia. So I guess that I heard that Miss Xia was discussing marriage with Yongchang Duke's son. So I guess that Lady Yongchang Duke heard that you were Miss Xia's good friend, so she specially asked you to go over and accompany Miss Xia!"
Sang Yu nodded and said, "Dress more plainly tomorrow, don't steal Ming Xuan's limelight."
"Okay." Xiaohong agreed with a smile.
But Sang Yu felt that this matter was not that simple.
If it was just to meet Xia Mingxuan, it should have been done in private. Why would Sang Yu be called over in such a high-profile manner?
I'm afraid the real purpose is not to drink!
Considering the previous assassination attempt on Nie Jialing, the threat to Marquis Yongbo, and the engagement with the Prince Regent, I'm afraid the other party can no longer hold back!
Since they wanted to test her so much, she would play with them.
The next day, Sang Yu got up early. Xiao Qing, who was very skilled in combing her hair, put a gold and jade hairpin in it, and decorated it with a few pearl flowers. As for her face, she only applied a thin layer of powder and put on red lipstick, which made her look very charming.
Xiaohong dressed her in a lake-green dress embroidered with swirling gauze, and a pair of red phoenix-wing satin shoes with the pattern of "cloudy mist and auspicious water waves". Finally, she gave her a palace fan with an ivory handle and a pattern of "gold-woven beauty".
Although Sang Yu has always emphasized keeping a low profile, this incident still amazed the two of them.
"Miss, you are so beautiful!"
Xiaoqing and Xiaohong were stunned. Sangyu thought for a while, and finally worked in front of the mirror for a while. Finally, she put on a lake blue veil, which immediately covered her beautiful face. However, the pair of eyes that were exposed were full of rippling waves, which was enough to make people imagine a lot.
Xiaoqing and Xiaohong were stunned by Sangyu's actions. Sangyu's face was too...
Sang Yu took Xiao Qing and Xiao Hong on the carriage and drove for about half an hour before stopping at Yong Chang Jue's mansion.
As Sang Yu got off the carriage, Xia Mingxuan's voice was heard.
"Xiao Yu." Now that Sang Yu has changed her name, Xia Mingxuan also calls her by her current name.
Xia Mingxuan was a man of rough but delicate qualities. Although she grew up in Qilai County, her family was extremely wealthy, so she had received all the education a legitimate daughter should have.
She also has her own principles in life. Although she has some questions about Sang Yu's affairs, she never asks and will never reveal anything to others. This is why Sang Yu has always been willing to be friends with her.
Sang Yu turned around at the sound and saw Xia Mingxuan stepping out of the carriage behind her. She was dressed in all her finery, with her hair in a high, ruyi bun and a plum blossom hairpin slanted diagonally atop her head. She held a six-pointed gauze fan, wore a smoky purple gown woven with gold brocade, and slipped on a pair of cloud-shaped brocade shoes with a precious flower pattern. She looked completely transformed, a sight to behold.
Moreover, Xia Mingxuan has a particularly majestic appearance. Now dressed like this, she looks even more beautiful and dignified, with a strong aura.
"I heard that Lady Yongchang invited you today. When I first got the news, I was worried that you wouldn't come. Now that I see you, I'm finally relieved." Xia Mingxuan said, holding Sang Yu's hand.
Sang Yu also held her hand and said, "Do you know why Lady Yongchang asked us to come here today?"
"She told me it was just a normal gathering, saying it was for me to meet... because meeting alone wouldn't be good for my reputation, so she invited a few more people to the banquet to protect her reputation. So, it seems this Lady Yongchang is quite cautious. I heard she's quite easy to get along with."
