t.i.tle: The Dreamer in the Spring Boudoir

Chapter: 021 out of 513 - This is an amazing business opportunity (2)

Nie Sangyu was let out of the confinement courtyard. Qian Lianxue received the marquis's favor. Both of these women very happy, but the women in the other courtyards weren't pleased.

Mu Shuqing had thought that Nie Sangyu finally wouldn't be able to change her fortune. But as is turned out, she had the ability to get Honored Concubine Xue to say words in her favor and let her be released from the confinement courtyard!

Mu Shuqing felt very annoyed. She had thought that after Nie Sangyu was punished by the household's rules, she would do something even more outrageous in her hysteria. Unexpectedly, with Qian Lianxue's help, she was able to take advantage of the marquis's compa.s.sionate heart to reverse her fortune!

When the marquis had only been staying over at Qiangwei Courtyard, everyone had felt that the situation was very balanced. So, she was even more annoyed by Honored Concubine Xue suddenly receiving the marquis's favor for the past few days.

Who wouldn't feel jealous that one of them had received this type of favor? Although the madam didn't fuss about this, she would definitely feel secretly upset about this. They had only been married for half a month before the marquis left her courtyard.

Mu Shuiqing had visited Qiangwei Courtyard several times to implicitly and explicitly speak badly of Honored Concubine Xue. But, Wen Wan was the slightest bit moved by her words. She only said that it was time for the marquis to spread his seed. It was only right that he favored more than one person.

With such a magnanimous madam, there was nothing else she could say. Mu Shuiqing could only sulk by herself. Later, she went to see what method Qian Lianxue had used to attract the marquis.

The other honored concubine, Qi Siling, also couldn't just sit still and do nothing. After she went to Xuesong Courtyard twice, she discovered Qian Lianxue's secret.

”Younger sister, you face has become much more beautiful.” Qi Siling sweetly said. ”The marquis can't be blamed for becoming captivated by younger sister.”

Qian Lianxue's face turned slightly red. She quietly laughed and said, ”It's all thanks to Sangyu. My face only looked this good after using this cold cream that she had brought.”

Surprised, Qi Siling asked, ”Cold cream?”

Qian Lianxue reservedly smiled, then she changed the topic, ”Older sister, are you prepared for Old Madame coming back? She'll be returning soon. Madam has just entered the household and doesn't know Old Madame's temperament. Many things will still need to be arranged by older sister.”

Seeing the she wasn't willing to continue speaking about the cold cream, Qi Siling didn't ask any further questions. After they had exchanged a round of small talk, on the way out, Qi Siling ordered her personal servant girl, ”Go and ask Nie Sangyu. What's the cold cream?”

Songlan nodded and quickly ran to the courtyard on the eastern side.

However, Ji Man had already antic.i.p.ated that they would go looking for her after finding out about the cold cream. So, she had gone to Qiangwei Courtyard early in the morning with a container of cold cream.

When giving things away, you couldn't just give things to everyone that you saw. Cold cream was an item that could captivate women. She wasn't Shancai Tongzi. If she were going to give the cold cream to other people, it would to useful people. For example, people like Qian Lianxue and Wen Wan.
