Chapter 475: Best for Scar Removal

"This bottle is called Jade Face Cream, a holy product for scar removal. No matter how severe the scar is, the skin can be restored to its original state if it is used in time. I heard that this thing is from the vassal state and is only used by the royal family. This bottle was stolen and sold by a palace maid, and there is only one bottle left. The caravan boss also bought it back as a rare item."

Su Nuan listened to Sheng Huai's words carefully and frowned unconsciously.

Sheng Huai's heart skipped a beat when he saw this.

When the caravan leader took this medicine back, he was not thinking about using it to beautify people's skin. He wanted to make full use of its efficacy and sell it to disfigured girls from wealthy families to make a fortune.

When this thing came into Sheng Huai's hands, he only thought about giving it to his benefactor to repay him for helping him find the heirloom. He didn't think at all that the effect of this thing seemed to be cursing people to get hurt, which was a bit unlucky.

He thought Su Nuan was disgusted, so he quickly explained: "This thing can not only remove scars, but also be good for beauty. I heard that the queen of Fanli Kingdom has been using it all year round. A woman in her thirties still looks like a girl."

Su Nuan frowned, of course, not because Sheng Huai gave him a bottle of scar removal ointment. She just suddenly remembered something, so she looked up and asked Sheng Huai, "When your people bought this jade cream, did they find out who made this ointment?"

Sheng Huai didn't expect to be asked this question. He thought about it for a long time but couldn't come up with an answer. He could only reply nervously: "My Lady Concubine, I don't know."

What the Fanli royal family is using is convincing enough, so who would care who mixed it?

Su Nuan didn't dwell on this question. She smiled at Sheng Huai and said, "It doesn't matter if you don't know. It doesn't affect my love for the things you gave me. I'll accept them all."

Hearing her say this, Sheng Huai let out a breath.

Given the atmosphere just now, he thought that he should not have come to give this gift today, but when he saw the concubine's beautiful smile, he felt it was worth it.

"How is your shop doing lately? Is business good?"

"Thanks to you, business has been good since the reopening, and it's no problem for you to support me."

After the disaster, Sheng Huai was the only one left in the Sheng family. It is a sad thing to talk about.

Su Nuan sighed a little.

Then Sheng Huai continued, "Actually, I came here today to ask the Concubine for something."

In fact, Su Nuan had her own purpose in the Jade Buddha incident. It was just a matter of convenience for her to seek justice for Sheng Huai. Now that someone brought something to thank her, she accepted it. She felt very embarrassed. When she heard that Sheng Huai wanted to ask her for something, she didn't think much about it and said casually, "What is it? Tell me?"

"I heard that the Concubine has business in the Imperial City. I want to follow you and do work for you."

"Do something for me?"

"I don't have much talent, but I do have some experience in business. If Madam Concubine trusts me, you can let me run a shop. I guarantee that I can make more money for you."

"You're going to run my shop, but what about your own shop?"

Running a shop well is not something that can be done just by talking; it requires the shop owner to devote himself wholeheartedly. For example, Shopkeeper Chen closed his own small shop after taking over Duobao Pavilion.

For example, Su Qingmo has been extremely busy since he took over Piaoxiang Tea House. If Su Nuan had not set up her base in Piaoxiang Tea House, she would hardly see Su Qingmo.

It would be difficult for Sheng Huai to manage his own shop while running it for himself, so Su Nuan asked this question.

Sheng Huai pursed his lips and replied, "I want to give the shop to the concubine."

"You give me the shop, and then you become the shopkeeper and make money for me?"

Su Nuan couldn't believe her ears.

Sheng Huai nodded heavily.

"It's just a small favor for me to get the jade Buddha back for you. You don't have to take it too seriously. You gave me so many things today, so we're even now. You don't have to give me the shop. I'm not that greedy."

Su Nuan looked at Sheng Huai and said with a smile.

Sheng Huai is a talented person. Just because he does not show any fear when standing in front of the emperor and empress, he is considered a top figure in Su Nuan's eyes. It would be a good thing if he really surrenders to her. As for the Sheng family's shop, Su Nuan really has never thought of taking it for herself.

Her words made Sheng Huai's eyes more determined, "My Lady Concubine, it's not that you are greedy, it's that I really want to do something for you."

Su Nuan didn't say anything, but stared at Sheng Huai with her big eyes, which made the latter feel uneasy.

Who would give away their ancestral property for no reason? There must be a reason.

But Sheng Huai refused to say anything, and Su Nuan didn't force him to ask. After staring at him for a while, she smiled faintly and said, "You can keep the shop yourself. If you really want to work for me, go back and have a good New Year. I will arrange a job for you after the New Year."

Sheng Huai hesitated and wanted to say something, but in the end he held back and left with regret.

Su Nuan called Liefeng and asked him to follow Sheng Huai quietly to see what happened in his shop.

As dinner time approached, smoke rose from the kitchen and servants were busy carrying food boxes and delivering meals to various places.

As soon as Su Nuan stepped into Duiyueju, the servant brought the food over.

The lunch box was opened and the food was still steaming.

Kang Dahong has become much more sensible since he was taught a lesson by Mu Yunting last time. Although there are only four dishes delivered to Duiyueju for each meal, they are all carefully prepared and suit Su Nuan's taste.

Today, Su Nuan had no appetite for the delicious dishes.

This was not really a happy day.

She happily went to verify that Mu Yunting was not in a hurry to marry Xun Zheng, but unexpectedly learned that the reason why Mu Yunting and Xun Zheng set their wedding date so far away was just because that day was auspicious for Xun Zheng.

When Su Nuan thought of this, she felt her stomach churning and couldn't help but vomit some acid.

After vomiting, I wanted to rinse my mouth with tea, but when I picked up the teapot, it was empty.

Chunliu and others are still in the other courtyard. Now she doesn’t even have anyone to serve her. It makes her sad just thinking about it.

Su Nuan endured the discomfort and got up to boil some hot water for herself.

After a simple wash, I went to bed without eating.

While she was dazed, someone pushed the door open and came in, cleaning up the food on the table. Su Nuan knew that this was Mu Yunting's maid Qinghe, who occasionally came back to help with the work these days.

Su Nuan never took the initiative to look for Qinghe, and Qinghe would not stay in Duiyueju forever. Su Nuan knew that Qinghe had always worked under Luzhu, so she didn't have any requirements for her.

But not today, she is not feeling well and needs someone to take care of her.

"Qinghe, go get two charcoal basins."

Su Nuan said weakly while wrapped in a quilt. She didn’t know if it was because she hadn’t eaten, but she felt getting colder and colder.

Qinghe stopped and went out without saying a word. When she came back, she was holding a charcoal basin in her hand. She put the charcoal basin beside the bed, then turned around and went out to get another one.

Su Nuan finally felt warm, found a comfortable position and fell into a deep sleep.
