Chapter 65: The Servant Arrives at the Door

  Xue Lengyu's heart felt warm and fuzzy upon hearing these words, a strong wave of emotion surged in her chest, and the corners of her eyes were slightly red. She just wanted to let go of everything and believe in the sincerity of this man in front of her. From then on, she nestled into his arms, letting him shield her from the wind and rain, no longer wanting to suffer even a little bit.

  On impulse, Xue Lengyu almost couldn't help but raise her hands to cover the rough yet gentle hands on her cheeks.

  Luckily, it was just a momentary impulse. Xue Lengyu's age, although not having experienced the ups and downs of life, but as a 21st-century girl, she is no longer as simple as a blank sheet of paper. Having seen many stories where promises are like playful words, how can she easily open her heart?

  Xue Lengyu's heart only hesitated for a moment, and reason suppressed the impulse. In the past, Xue Lengyu had entered the wealthy family with sweet words of marriage, but now she changed her face as quickly as turning pages, and with just one divorce paper, all the glory and wealth would disappear like smoke. All the love and affection were like charity.

  Other people's things will always be other people's things.

  That night in the palace, Shu Li's scene of pushing himself into Li Mu's room still lingered in pain. Even if he believed that the man in front of him was true at this moment, who knew how much weight this emotion occupied in his heart.

  Even if he was willing to devote his life to himself, Li Mu's single gesture could put his own life at stake, so how could he take care of himself at that time.

  Xue Lengyu's heart was tangled for a while, and finally she lightly clenched her fist by her side, lowered her face and said softly: "Don't do this, it's not good to be seen by others."

  Shu Li could see the entanglement in Xue Leng Yu's heart, although he didn't know what she was thinking, but it was clear that after several struggles, Xue Leng Yu still hadn't accepted him. This was within his expectations, yet his heart couldn't help but feel a little dim. His face wouldn't show any expression, and he withdrew his hand, saying: "I was too abrupt."

  Xue Lengyu gently shook her head, indicating that she didn't blame him.

  It was a bit awkward, and Shu Li coughed lightly: "Well, I'll go back to the Wang Fu then. You should also get some rest early, I'll pick two quick-witted servants to come and serve you."

  What's the point of saying serving, it's just hiring a part-time worker, with my current status, can I even say the word serving?

  Xue Lengyu smiled wryly in his heart, but said: "Good. I'll be leaving for the Wang Manor in a few days, and I'll come find you. If you're free, please also come visit my home often."

  It was hard to part, but eventually had to say goodbye. Xue Lengyu saw Shu Li off at the door, watching him ride his horse into the distance until he disappeared from sight, before closing the door and walking back inside. In her heart, she wasn't without a hint of reluctance, but reason deeply knew that even if their feelings were as deep as the ocean, without her own space, how could she bear it?

  Went to visit Xue's parents, they were both in a deep sleep. Their breathing was steady and their expressions calm. I felt relieved. Returned to my own room, spread out the paper, picked up the brush.

  It's a good idea to think about it. Since I've already decided to start with the queen, this product, where should I start?

  Xue Lengyu dared to say that he would transform Wang Fei back into a young beauty, and that was something he had the confidence and capital to do.

  In the 21st century, Ning Keke is an eighteen-year-old girl who loves beauty. She and her dormitory girls are all at the age of loving to dress up. Usually, they have nothing to do, their favorite thing is to get together to study the eighteen ways of weight loss, play with cosmetics. Students don't have much money, so they surfed the internet for various methods and DIY themselves.

  After a long time, I dare to confidently claim that I am a master of it. And those self-made beauty products are all proven safe and effective under the testimony of my own face.

  Xue Lengyu thought and wrote, her idea was to start with the simplest face mask. Firstly, the materials are simple and the effect is obvious. Secondly, this is a commonly used skincare product that can be used every other day. The more times it's used, the more it consumes, naturally, the more it sells.

  Xue Lengyu narrowed her eyes, with a sly merchant-like expression. If these cosmetics could sell well, she would be able to win over the wives and daughters of most of the wealthy families in the city, then after earning money and paying off debts, she would have enough money to consider renting a bustling place and transforming it into an ultra-modern five-star women's beauty salon...

  Xue Lengyu thought and thought, getting more and more excited, as if she could see herself standing on that bustling street, with a group of subordinates behind her, respectfully shouting "Boss" in unison. And that so-called number one rich man, Mu Rong Haoxuan, could only stand aside with a flattering smile, humbly asking for the opportunity to cooperate with her.

  Lost in thought, Xue Lengyu had forgotten that he was holding a brush in his hand, and out of habit, he twirled it around and put it in his mouth to bite on. But the taste was unbearably bitter. He suddenly came back to his senses. Hurriedly using his palm to wipe it off, but there were also faint ink marks on his hand.

  Xue Lengyu walked out of the room with a gloomy expression, wanting to find someone to rinse her mouth. As soon as she went out, she scooped water from the water tank and wiped it clean. Just then, there were hurried footsteps outside the door, followed by a gentle knock on the door.

  Xue Lengyu hastily put down the water scoop, wiped her hands again to make sure they were clean, and then slightly tidied up her somewhat damp hair before going to open the door.

  Xue Lengyu opened the door, slightly stunned for a moment. Standing at the entrance were two young people, a boy and a girl. They looked like they were only eighteen or nineteen years old, not particularly beautiful, but rather clean and neat in appearance, wearing ordinary clothes.

  The man saw Xue Lengyu come to open the door and said: "Excuse me, are you Miss Xue Lengyu?"

  Xue Lengyu nodded: "Was it Shu Li who called you here?"

  Xue Lengyu, however, did not know that this one sentence would establish her position in the hearts of these two people.

  In this strictly hierarchical society, it is impossible for the people to call out the names of officials or superiors so casually. However, Xue Lengyu called out Shu Li's name without any hesitation, and did so in a completely natural and calm manner, which suggests that they must have an extraordinary relationship with each other from an outsider's perspective.

  The young man's face was solemn, and he bowed his head with the girl beside him: "I am Xiao An (Xiao Tao), at your service, Miss Xue."

  Xue Leng's face stiffened, and he really couldn't take such courtesy. He hastily said, "No need for so much etiquette, please get up quickly."

  Xiao An immediately stood up, her hands crossed in front of her, and said respectfully: "It is Shu Daren's order that Nu Cai and I, Xiao Tao, have come to serve Miss Xue. If there is anything you need, please instruct us."

  Xue Lengyu was in the Wang Fu, and she had to do so towards others. Now that she is in her own home, how can she accept someone calling themselves a slave? She knew that this was the rule of the Wang Fu, and secondly, these two people were brought by Shu Li, they must have guessed that she and Shu Li had a close relationship, so they didn't dare to be rude.

  Xue Lengyu led the two into the courtyard, thought for a moment, and said: "Xiao Tao, Xiao An, you are both members of the Shu Li faction who have come to my house to help. My family also has its own rules, I want to tell you something."

  "Yes." Xiao An and Xiao Tao stood side by side, listening carefully to Xue Leng Yu's words.

  Xue Lengyu said: "I don't know what Shu Li told you, but the situation here is that my father was injured, my mother's health is not good, and I'm not good at household chores due to personal reasons. So now there's no one in the house to take care of food and other miscellaneous things, so I thought of asking you to come over and help out. The monthly salary will be given according to the rules of the mansion. What do you think?"

  Xiao An and Xiao Tao said in unison: "Your humble servants are willing."

  Xue Lengyu rubbed his forehead and sighed: "It's not like in the mansion, you don't have to call me 'slave' all the time. Just call me when we talk."

  They both said in unison: "Your humble servants dare not."
