Chapter 527: Chapter 530: Owner Xuan San_1

Yin Mansion.

Yin Yinyue was scrutinizing Xiang Bao Zhai’s account books by the lamplight, her headache magnified by the steadily declining business turnover.

The only way to save Xiang Bao Zhai now was the facial mask powder.

As far as she knew, many Madams and young ladies were inquiring about it, and if Xiang Bao Zhai could take the lead, why worry about future business?

In these times, women hardly ever stepped beyond their thresholds, and becoming beautiful was their lifelong pursuit; they would certainly buy it even if the price went up to ten tales per box from merely one or two tales.

However, Autumn Water had been searching for days and still hadn’t found the vendor of the mask powder.

There was also no reply from Xuan Qing’s side regarding the request for goods, and her father was pressing her more urgently to disburse some silver.

Thinking of these troubles, Yin Yinyue picked up her teacup.

"The tea is cold, and it’s not good for a woman to drink it,"

a deep and magnetic male voice resonated in the room.

Heeding his words, Yin Yinyue set down the teacup and asked coldly, "What are you doing here?"

Her eyes remained fixed on the account books, masking the irritation simmering within her.

In front of this man, she would not show the slightest bit of weakness, for he had only ever mocked her.

If she had known what he was like, she would never have saved him in the first place!

"Could it be that my face is not pleasing to your eyes?" the man leaned in close to Yin Yinyue.

Although a bit older and his status not presentable, many women still cried to marry him just for his looks.

Why didn’t it work on her?

He sighed. Whether she had any taste at all remained a mystery.

Yin Yinyue looked up briefly. Annoying as he was, his face was undeniably captivating.

With every glance came a different amazement.

He looked like a young scholar with delicate features, especially his smiling phoenix eyes.

Nobody would guess that this face belonged to the Third Master of Xuan Eagle Mountain Village, Xuan Qing.

But not many had seen his true face, for he favored wearing a silver mask.

Yin Yinyue quickly composed herself and said indifferently, "Since you have seen it, Master Xuan San, please leave if there’s nothing else."

She lowered her eyes back to the books, clearly signaling she was busy.

"Without any child, to whom do you plan to leave your hard-earned family business? Miss Yin, you may be willing to give selflessly, but the Yin Family won’t reciprocate your dedication."

Xuan Qing raised his eyebrows, his tone asking for a punch.

He was not part of the Yin Family, yet he was well informed about everything happening there.

Yin Yinyue took a deep breath. Based on experience, the more she entertained him, the more relentless Xuan Qing would be.

Using his folding fan, Xuan Qing lifted her chin, examining her closely.

He said with regret, "Look at this face, truly a fading beauty. Try this; it might still be salvageable."

"What is this?"

Yin Yinyue dodged his fan and leaned back, as if to keep some distance from the gift.

Knowing Xuan Qing’s character, could he offer anything worthwhile?

Xuan Qing’s face darkened instantly. He was a bandit, indeed, but never had he done anything detrimental to Yin Yinyue.

In fact, he had assisted with many matters that she couldn’t handle directly.

Considering how she had always been cold towards him, he came to terms with her attitude.

Xuan Qing unwrapped the outer layer to reveal an exquisite box.

"This was hard to come by, facial mask powder. I heard your people were searching like headless flies, so I brought it to you."

Yin Yinyue picked up the rosewood box and indeed found the mark of "Duo Meifang."
