After Dressing Up As a Little Fulang

Xiao Cui pursed her lips. She knew it was a good thing. She was a little shaken at first, but after hearing what An Yun said, she finally nodded.

Seeing her acceptance, An Yun directly pushed the ice cream cake in front of her.

However, Xiao Cui did not eat it immediately. Instead, she first brought out the medicine for An Yun, then poured a bowl of cold boiled water, and finally took out the candied fruit and placed it in front of An Yun.

This was the procedure Xiao Cui followed to serve An Yun his medicine. Even after Lu He arrived, she was still the one who served him medicine.

Seeing her actions, An Yun’s smile grew wider.

After An Yun thanked her, he picked up the medicine and drank it.

Noticing that he had finished the medicine in one gulp, Xiao Cui picked up the cake and ate it in small bites, savoring the taste with every mouthful.

Sure enough, as soon as it entered her mouth, the wonderful taste spread all at once, making her eyes narrow in pleasure.

By the time Xiao Cui finished the cake, An Yun had already finished eating the candied fruits.

Out of the corner of her eye, she noticed that he was looking at her. Xiao Cui quickly wiped her mouth and then looked at An Yun, saying, “By the way, fulang, I have something else to tell you.”

An Yun understood and asked Lu He to guard outside while he and Xiao Cui talked inside.

Lu He didn’t say much. She took the small basket for her embroidery work and sat at the door.

Lu He did some sewing, occasionally looking up at the birds in the sky and the string of bells under the eaves, then lowered her head to her work, completely ignoring what was happening inside.

An Yun looked at Xiao Cui and asked, “How about it? Is the selling good?”

With a smile on her face, Xiao Cui nodded vigorously, then took off the purse from her waist and poured the money in front of An Yun. “Fulang, this is the money I’ve collected over the past few days. They want more lip balm.”

After the first batch of lip balm was sold, the pretty maids used it. After using it for a few days, they noticed the difference and ordered some more from Xiao Cui.

Naturally, their actions couldn’t be hidden from others, and soon others placed orders as well. Xiao Cui ended up with a lot of orders all at once.

An Yun listened to Xiao Cui’s words and calculated that even if he sold all the remaining lip balm, he would still have twenty boxes left.

It seemed he would have to continue making lip balm.

This time, An Yun was determined to avoid past mistakes. He recalled the old doctor’s advice about not losing sight of the bigger picture due to small gains. Like last time, he had overworked himself, which led to serious illness and additional expenses.

Xiao Cui didn’t quite understand why An Yun had to make lip balm to sell, considering he had the best of everything in the mansion. She felt it was unnecessary. However, every time she saw the way An Yun’s eyes lit up when he talked about it, she felt that her words of dissuasion were futile.

Xiao Cui felt that if An Yun was willing, she could help him with everything so he wouldn’t have to worry so much.

This time too, Xiao Cui saw An Yun’s eagerness after hearing what she said, and she knew he was tempted.

Xiao Cui hesitated for a moment, then firmly told An Yun what she had thought about before coming there. “Fulang, when you made lip balm last time, I already learned the technique. This time, let me handle the lip balm, and you just watch from the side. Your body can’t stand the torment!”

As Xiao Cui said this, she stared straight at An Yun, her tone was particularly firm.

An Yun was a little touched. He felt that Xiao Cui had helped him a lot, but he didn’t expect her to be so considerate now.

However, An Yun still shook his head, and despite Xiao Cui’s disappointed and nervous expression, continued, “Don’t worry, I won’t let you do it alone, but this time I won’t be as reckless as last time. I want you to do it with Lu He, and I’ll follow along.”

Xiao Cui’s face showed some hesitation. She didn’t want to share An Yun’s attention with Lu He. However, thinking of An Yun’s health, she looked at him and said firmly, “I’ll listen to the fulang.”

An Yun laughed, then looked at her and said, “In that case, you will have to work hard tomorrow and continue to get some flowers for us.”

Zang Ya finished dinner, rested for a while, and then went to the martial arts training ground to practice for another hour.

After Zang Ya returned to his residence and took another bath, he heard Qing Yue come back to report that the two guards he had sent out were back.

Zang Ya nodded upon hearing this and, regardless of his half-dried hair, met the two guards directly in the study.

The guard first saluted Zang Ya, then reported, “Sir, what that man said is true. We also retrieved the qinseng. We went to the medicine hall to have it examined, and they confirmed it is genuine.”

Zang Ya nodded and signaled to Qing Yue to take the box from their hands.

He then thought of something else and asked Qing Yue to go to his box, take out three thousand taels of money, and hand it to the two guards.

“Give this money to that person and tell him that if he comes across such good luck in the future, he should inform me.”

The guard took the money, saluted Zang Ya again, and then left.

After the guards left, Zang Ya turned to Qing Yue and instructed, “Send this to the pharmacy and have the doctor prepare it. Then find an opportunity to give it to that little shuanger.”

Qing Yue was not surprised by this. She sighed slightly in her heart and followed the order. “Yes.”

Not far away, in the outer room, Wen Xuan, who was listening to the conversation through the thin gauze curtain, clenched her fists in jealousy as she heard Zang Ya’s instructions. Her beautiful face showed a look of resentment.

‘Why? What is so special about that little shuanger? Why is he being treated so favorably by the young master?’
