Chapter 18 (2/2)
”I erased it when I removed the make-up”
(Ahh, I should've just said 'yes yes' at the right time…)
Maomao was already too late to notice that she made a mistake in her reply
”What you said is strange There's a contradiction”
”No There is no such thing”
Make-up isn't just used to ed women specially used make-up to make themselves look unattractive
The thing made up of dried clay and mixed with dye, Maomao applied around her nose every day She skillfully obscured the tattooed freckles byit into spots What she did was by no means unintentional; it was that no one noticed it
A woman with freckles and spots, a face that doesn't particularly stand out
That hy she was called a plain-looking woman
To say it another way, if she didn't have the freckles and spots, her face would just be said as uncharacteristic, in other words, an average, neat face
Even with a little bit of rouge, she can change the at Maomao can look completely different
Jishi+n clutched his head at Maoh he somehow couldn't understand
”Why do you do that kind ofto it?”
”Yes It is so I won't be taken into the back of the alleyways”
The prostitution quarter, being what it is, had those who hungered for wouys don't havethem
Of course, she would want to be excused from that
The flabbergasted Jishi+n, for some reason, timidly asked her
”Have you ever been taken?””
”They tried”
So he could understand what she said, she glared at him with a half-opened eye
”Instead I have been kidnapped by human traffickers”
It was better for the woood looks At that tio out to harvest medicinal herbs, for the dyes of her faded tattoo, accidentally forgetting her make-up
”I'h”
”It's fine There isn'tso someone to reduce the number of mouths to feed It's all the same”
The foral Even a kidnapper couldn't be punished if the person they bought didn't know about that distinction
Right now, the reason to her using this sort ofher ability to write Although it now no longer mattered, her sudden no
”Ahh I'm sorry”
(He's unusually meek)
As he was looking up, he stuck quickly so on her head
”That hurts”
”Does it, have this”
He wasn't s his usual saccharine sloo
When she touched her head, she felt soh she wasn't wearing anything
”Well then, I'll see you at the assembly place”
Jishi+n turned his back and left the gazebo just like that
Stuck in her hair was a man's silver kanzashi+
”Ahh, how nice”
Maoive it to Infa who looked like she really wanted it, but the other two had the same expressions so she had no choice but to draw in her hands
Honnyan made a wry smile
”Aw, he broke the promise so quickly”
Consort Gyokuyou looked peevish
She took the kanzashi+ from Maomao's hand and neatly fastened it in her tied-up hair
”It looks like you're not just my maid now”
For good or evil, Maoed from the talk of the upper echelons of the Imperial Court
She didn't know about the significance it represented
