Chapter 1028 - 1025: Watching the Drama

In Yuzhou City, the only newly opened rouge shop was known by every family, but they hesitated to try its products due to the unknown efficacy of their appearance and the novel usage as skincare instead of makeup. Even though the sales staff selected at the Mei Mian Rouge Shop had fair skin, the noble ladies and young misses of influential families still didn’t trust the products.

However, the maidservants sometimes spent silver to buy some for trial, the results were there, but not as straightforward as on Ye Muyu’s face.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Initially, the ladies and young misses of various residences were hesitant to buy and try it. After all, in the residences of these large families, the most beautiful woman wasn’t necessarily the lady of the house.

Whether it was to please their masters or simply to enhance their beauty, they were slightly tempted.

“Not bad.” Ye Muyu nodded.

“Third Miss, if you are interested, why not accompany me to the boat to discuss in detail? I have brought some samples with me, which you could try personally,” Ye Muyu said sincerely.

Bing Nuan, ultimately swayed by her desire for beauty over her elder’s warnings, hurriedly followed Ye Muyu onto the boat, leaving Lin Mianmian behind.

Lin Mianmian stood dumbfounded at the side of the boat, grinding her teeth. She had never expected that Ye Muyu would lure Bing Nuan away with just a few words!

That was the person she had originally invited to discredit Ye Muyu!

“Young Miss, the ladies from behind are coming,” Cuizhu reminded.

Lin Mianmian’s face turned ashen, and she was about to board the boat, when suddenly a sweet laugh rang out: “My oh my, who do we have here if not Lin Mianmian? Oh no, it’s Aunt Lin instead.”

Hearing the voice she detested most, Lin Mianmian turned with a stony face to see a Maiden in Pink, more attractively dressed than herself, descend from a carriage.

“Yan Yujie!” Lin Mianmian glared at her.

“Aunt Lin, don’t you always claim to be of a noble status? Why then are you serving as another’s concubine? If it were a Prince’s concubine it might be excusable, but to think you’ve become a concubine to a sesame official from a farming family who just passed the imperial examination,” Yan Yujie taunted mercilessly.

“You should be bowing to me now,” Yan Yujie chastised unabashedly.

Lin Mianmian gritted her teeth, “Aren’t you also born to a concubine? By that logic, do you consider your own mother inferior as well?”

“I was raised by a legitimate mother, naturally, I am not like you, a child raised by a concubine who runs off to become someone else’s concubine willingly.”

On the boat, Ye Muyu and Bing Nuan heard the quarrel below and turned back.

Ye Muyu instructed Su Mei, “Su Mei, ask Aunt Lin to come up. Let’s board the boat and catch up as old friends.”

Bing Nuan almost laughed out loud when she heard her casually refer to their arguing as catching up.

Su Mei hurried down to convey the message.

Lin Mianmian was furious but truly did not want to deal with Yan Yujie, who loved comparing herself to others. She was there to watch Ye Muyu’s drama, not to create her own!

Lin Mianmian lowered her voice and warned, “Just you wait until my father returns; you’ll see what happens to you.”

She dropped this warning and then turned to board the boat.

Yan Yujie stomped her foot, “If you’re so capable, why don’t you stay? You think only you have a father?”

“Lady, that one up there is Madam Chu,” her maidservant pointed out Ye Muyu.

Yan Yujie touched her chin, “She’s not bad-looking. Seems like Lin Mianmian seeking favor isn’t so easy after all. I heard it was the Lin Family who saved Lord Chu, and that’s why he agreed to take in Lin Mianmian, right?”

“Let’s go, it’s time to watch the drama unfold.”
