Allure of a Country Maiden
Chapter 583 - 581

Chapter 583: Chapter 581

Xiao Fuzi came to the Marquis Shengping’s Mansion. Xiao’er was somewhat surprised when she heard late from the maid that Xiao Fuzi was looking for her.

She had just parted ways with Shangguan Xuanyi, how could he have sent someone over so quickly? Nevertheless, Xiao’er said:

"Let him in."

Xiao Fuzi walked in and saluted Xiao’er.

Xiao’er had someone serve tea to Xiao Fuzi and offered him a seat, then asked: "Xiao Fuzi, what brings you here at this hour? Is there something going on?"

Xiao Fuzi, who dared not sit, replied: "Thank you for offering me a seat, miss, but I must hurry back to report. Do you have any men’s skincare products here?"

So that’s it. She thought Shangguan Xuanyi had wanted to see her.

"Xiao Fuzi, did you already use up the skincare products I gave you before?" Xiao’er glanced at Xiao Fuzi’s skin. It had indeed improved a lot. But wouldn’t Xiao Fuzi become more feminine if he continued using them?

"No, my master sent me to buy a set of men’s skincare products. But the beauty salon does not allow men, so I came here to request a set from you, miss."

What? Brother Shangguan had Xiao Fuzi buy men’s skincare products? They were just together; why didn’t he ask her for them? The ones she would have given him definitely would be better than the ones available outside!

Xiao’er recalled that when the men’s skincare products first came out, she had wanted to give a set to Di Shaowei, the second prince, and others. But they all said that real men didn’t need such things, that only women used them! They absolutely wouldn’t use these products.

But what was Brother Shangguan thinking now? That he wanted to use them again?

Xiao’er remembered that during the meal just now, something seemed odd about Shangguan Xuanyi. What kind of shock had he suffered to suddenly want to use the skincare products that only women used?

What had she said to him? She had said that he would look old if he kept frowning and afterwards mentioned something about an old cow eating young grass, causing him to spit out his tea!

Xiao’er began to understand! Shangguan Xuanyi must have been worried about aging too quickly and becoming the old cow eating young grass, which caused him to lose his appetite!

However, Shangguan Xuanyi really should take care of himself. Xiao’er believed that a woman should live delicate and refined, even at eighty years old. If Shangguan Xuanyi didn’t take care of himself... Xiao’er didn’t want to be seen walking in the streets with an old man in her future, then being asked: Is this your father?

The thought sent chills down her spine!

But since Shangguan Xuanyi dared to secretly buy skincare products without telling her, she had to teach him a lesson! She wouldn’t laugh at him!

In the modern world, many men used skincare products and perfume, and even took the time to create a handsome hairstyle every morning.

Having an appropriate dress-up and make-up is a sign of respect towards others. This wasn’t something only women should do!

Without hesitation, Xiao’er asked Xiao Fuzi to wait. She had to go into the space and fetch a set of skincare products for Shangguan Xuanyi. She also rewarded Xiao Fuzi with a set. Of course, the set for Xiao Fuzi was different from the one for Shangguan Xuanyi.

Xiao’er, holding back a laugh, explained the usage of each item in every bottle in detail.

They covered skincare from head to toe!

She could imagine how Shangguan Xuanyi’s face would stiffen when he heard Xiao Fuzi explaining the usage of each item one by one.

Xiao Fuzi left happily, carrying the two sets of skincare products.

Seeing Xiao Fuzi leaving happily, Xiao’er, feeling a bit guilty, didn’t remind him not to tell Shangguan Xuanyi that he had received those skincare products from her.

Even without thinking, she could imagine Shangguan Xuanyi’s expression when he found out that Xiao Fuzi had gotten the skincare products from her.

Xiao Fuzi returned to the Sixth Prince Mansion with the two sets of skincare products.

Shangguan Xuanyi looked at all the bottles and jars and his head began to spin: Deep-cleanse matte control exfoliating face wash, anti-wrinkle cream, dual-action oil control moisturizer, rejuvenating lotion, superior all-in-one men’s eye cream... There was even hand cream, and foot cream too!

Xiao Fuzi explained the usage of every single item one by one, and Shangguan Xuanyi’s face, as Xiao’er had predicted, turned darker and darker.

Why did he feel like he’d been fooled?

"Xiao Fuzi, were your true intentions discovered when you went to the beauty salon to buy this men’s skincare set?"

Xiao Fuzi: "No, men are forbidden in the beauty salon, so I didn’t go there. I went to the Marquis Shengping to ask County Mistress Rui’an for it!"

Before Xiao Fuzi finished speaking, Shangguan Xuanyi had a bad feeling. Upon hearing the entirety of Xiao Fuzi’s words, Shangguan Xuanyi was so angry that his face turned green!

That was it, that girl must have been teasing him on purpose!

"Why didn’t you tell me that men are not allowed in the beauty salon!" Shangguan Xuanyi said through gritted teeth.

If he knew men were forbidden in the beauty salon, he would have made this sucker disguise as a woman. No, he should have made this eunuch disguise as a woman to buy them for him!

Normally, Xiao Fuzi was a clever boy who could do a lot of things perfectly without being ordered to. Why didn’t he know how to cover up this time, when it was about his own face? When buying things that only women used, like skincare products, one should, of course, hide their identity!

Even the maid of the Eastern Jin Dynasty princess knew to veil her face when going to the pharmacy to replenish the medicine, to avoid drawing attention. How could his servant be so foolish!

He was too embarrassed to face that girl now!

Shangguan Xuanyi looked at the pile of women’s stuff on the table, feeling overwhelmed. Should he use them? Or should he not?

Xiao Fuzi felt wronged: wasn’t all this because the master was too fierce just now and had scared him!

"Master..."

"Get out!" Shangguan Xuanyi glared at Xiao Fuzi.

Xiao Fuzi, scared, didn’t dare say another word and ran off.

Looking at the pile of items on the table, Shangguan Xuanyi thought of that girl explaining to Xiao Fuzi the usage of each item. The girl must have been laughing in her heart at that time!

Shangguan Xuanyi wanted to throw them all out, but how could he throw away something that girl had given him as a gift! So, he put everything away in a box, out of sight, out of mind!

He would wait for Doctor Luo to come by, and ask him about any food that could slow down aging!

Doctor Luo finally arrived at the Sixth Prince Mansion when it was getting dark.

"What business does the Sixth Prince have with me?"

Shangguan Xuanyi felt embarrassed again. Wouldn’t it be... for a man to ask the imperial doctor for ways to stay young forever?

Seeing Shangguan Xuanyi’s hesitant face, Doctor Luo secretly guessed: Could it be that the Sixth Prince had some hidden ailment?

Doctor Luo discretely glanced at Shangguan Xuanyi’s ’little brother’. This indeed seemed like a difficult-to-disclose indisposition. Since the Sixth Prince was embarrassed to speak, he’d break the ice!

"Does the Sixth Prince wish to ask me about any treatments concerning virility?"

Hearing this, Shangguan Xuanyi was so angry he was lost for words! He felt like kicking Doctor Luo out with one foot. What virility! His virility was just fine!

Seeing Shangguan Xuanyi being speechless, Doctor Luo was even more certain his guess was correct.

"Sixth Prince, let me take your pulse first." Doctor Luo reached out, intending to take Shangguan Xuanyi’s pulse.
