Don't be tempted, sir

Chapter 156 Containment

"Girl, girl?"

The maid called a few times, and then clapped her hands before Luo Xi responded: "Sorry, what's wrong?"

"Have you brought the rouge our young lady asked for? She has been absent-minded, so please be careful when you get to the mansion."

"Yes, I brought it. I will pay attention to it when I get home. I'm really sorry for today." Luo Xi apologized with a smile.

Arriving at the Su Mansion, Luo Xi followed the maid with a mask all the way to Miss Su's residence, because the shopkeeper said that this Master Su was a beautiful woman, and there were several concubines in the house, some of whom were brought home by those seen on the road, and some were brought back from prostitution...

The two were close to each other while Miss Su was putting on makeup. Miss Su saw that although her face was covered, her eyes were very special, like a beautiful civet cat.

"Miss Luo?"

Luo Xi turned around to get something and replied: "Well, Miss, where do you want to change it?"

"Miss Luo wears a face scarf, is it because it looks so good?"

"Miss Su is too kind. I am not as good as Miss Hua Rong."

Miss Su took the opportunity to pull down her veil. She was indeed a beauty and a stunning beauty! Luo Xi covered his face in embarrassment and quickly took the veil from her hand and put it on.

Miss Su said unhappily: "Miss Luo, I heard that you never cover your face when you go somewhere else. Why did you come to the Su Mansion today? Are you afraid that my father will take you in by force?" Everyone in Qiannan knows that Master Su is lustful. Being a girl in the Su family is already ostracized, and now even a little makeup slave dares to avoid her like this, which makes Miss Su very unhappy.

Luo Xi said that she had a cold, but it was hard to explain now, and she was kicked out of the Su Mansion without even getting paid. Luo Xi could refuse her share of the money, but the rouge belonged to the shop owner, and it was expensive, so she couldn't afford to pay for it. She had no choice but to knock on the door and shout, "Miss Su, money! You haven't paid me yet! The rouge..."

"What does my daughter owe you?"

A deep voice sounded behind him. Luo Xi felt something was wrong and turned around quickly, lowering his head as low as he could, "I came to your house today to help Miss Su put on makeup. Miss Su asked for a box of rouge and ten taels of silver, but she didn't pay me."

Master Su heard the tender voice under the cotton and linen clothes and couldn't help but bend down to see her face: "Ten taels of silver?"

Luo Xi lowered his head and stepped back: "Yes."

Master Su raised his hand and the servant handed over the money: "Look up, the master will pay you."

Luo Xi timidly stretched out her hand to ask for the money without raising her head, but Master Su grabbed her hand. Luo Xi hurriedly pulled out the silver and dropped it on the ground. She knelt down, picked up the money and left.

Master Su raised his head and signaled to the servant with a meaningful look, rubbing his hands in satisfaction at the softness of his hand.

Luo Xi hurried along the way, and when he arrived at the store, he counted the money in his hand, and found that he only had half of it! Five taels.

Before I could catch my breath, the servant from the Su Mansion came to the door. The shop owner greeted him with a polite smile: "What do you want to bring?"

A strong man stepped forward and said, "Let's look for the masked woman who just entered the store."

The boss turned around to look at Luo Xi at the counter, smiled politely, and raised his hand to stop a few people from leaving: "But what's the matter?"

"Our Master Su wants to invite her for a cup of tea."

Luo Xi huddled in the corner and replied, "Thank you for your kindness, Grandpa Su. I have something important to do, so I won't go."

The shop owner smiled and said, "She is the hairdresser of my shop. She is busy in the shop now. I'm sorry for your apologies."

The sturdy man laughed at Luo Xi behind him and shouted: "Don't be ungrateful, girl!"

Luo Xi stepped back but the shop owner stopped him again. The sturdy men smiled meaningfully and he had to leave.

Luo Xi breathed a sigh of relief. The shop owner came over to comfort her: "Miss Luo, you'd better be careful. This little shop can protect you once, but it won't protect you again."

"I know you want to do business, thank you today, boss."

The boss smiled and went about his business. Luo Xi went upstairs, holding the five taels of silver, feeling depressed.

Awu took the things and went home first. As Song Xiaoyuan and the woman walked into the alley hand in hand, they were blocked by a group of burly men.

Song Xiaoyuan leaned against the wall and pulled the woman behind him and asked calmly, "What is this?"

The sturdy man behind him said, "Boss, this is that woman's mistress."

The sturdy man glanced at Song Xiaoyuan, who was dressed in white and had a scholarly air, and raised his knife and shouted disdainfully: "Hey kid, hand over General Shen's daughter if you know what's best for you, and I'll spare your life!"

Song Xiaoyuan raised his eyebrows: "You are anxious, but... it's not the right time yet."

Gentou was dissatisfied with his attitude towards the boss and pointed his finger forward: "Hey, what do you mean! If I ask you to hand over this woman, you should... Ouch!"

As soon as he got close to the stone, he was hit by it. He bent over and covered his hand in pain. Everyone looked in the direction where the stone was thrown. Ah Wu was playing with the stone in his hand and said mockingly: "If you want to touch me, you have to get past me first!"

The bandit raised his knife and went towards Awu. The woman was a little scared as it was the first time she saw such a situation, and she held Song Xiaoyuan's sleeve tightly.

"Don't be afraid, ma'am." Song Xiaoyuan glanced sideways to protect her behind him. Without showing too much martial arts, he seemed to be struggling to deal with a few bandits blocking the road, and pulled her safely out of the alley and back to Ran'anju.

The tall shrubs in Wentang Forest are evergreen all year round, especially in summer. Perhaps it is the sunlight that penetrates the mist in the air, and the forest is full of pleasing green. In the evening, Shen Yining follows the doctor's advice to take a medicinal bath. The quiet surroundings and the gurgling sound of water are soothing.

It was already very hot in summer after soaking in this medicinal soup. Shen Yining wanted to drink cold water but Xing Yue wouldn't let him and just made the water warmer.

"I want to drink cold water, eat iced watermelon, drink bayberry ice soup, and take a dip in the cold water..."

"No Miss!"

Shen Yining's cheeks flushed in the hot medicinal soup, and it was hard to wipe the sweat off. After soaking, she felt exhausted. Xingyue supported the limp young lady and said with a smile: "Miss, Doctor Liu said that this is what happens when you are too weak. It seems that you need to soak more!"

Shen Yining blushed and said in a soft voice: "Really? But I think it's not bad if I don't soak it."

Xingyue whispered a few words into Shen Yining's ear, and Shen Yining immediately changed his tone: "You still need to soak in the water more, haha..." She hadn't had her period for several months, which was really worrying.

Before he lay weakly on the bed, Xingyue brought another hot medicine. The medicine smelled quite bloody. Shen Yining retched just by smelling it. He waved his hand to refuse: "It's too fishy. Let's just take a medicinal bath. Don't drink it now!"

Xingyue gestured to pinch her nose: "Miss, don't breathe in, just take a breath!"

“Do I really have to drink it?”

"must!"

Shen Yining pinched his nose and tried to hold it in but couldn't bear it when he took a sip. He found it difficult to swallow after holding it in his mouth. Xing Yue cheered him on. He closed his eyes and swallowed it. After drinking it, he gasped uncomfortably: "Water...water!" He felt like a monster drinking blood, which was fishy and bitter.

I fainted on the bed while rinsing my mouth. My eyelids were really too heavy....

After that, Shen Yining couldn't help but take a bath more diligently. She changed from being passive to active, and stayed in the Wen Tanglin medicinal soup on time. She would rather keep it warm than drink the medicine.

Xingyue watched the medicine being boiled. After the medicine was boiled, the blood of a live deer was added to it. Half bowl of the strong medicine and half bowl of the live blood. She didn't dare to tell her young lady at all, as she might faint...
