Chapter 275 - 275 Did You Transplant Her a New Face?

275 Did You Transplant Her a New Face?

“Then I am different from you. Who dares to scold me? I will give him a hard time!” Zhao Chuchu disagreed on this point. “I don’t accept any insults.”

She didn’t need to think about it to know how those scholars would scold Xie Heng.

The literati’s pen was the sharpest knife in the world, killing people quietly and discreetly.

Just have a look at what the Wei Dynasty has become.

If Xie Heng weren’t there to put things right, they would never have had the opportunity to scold Xie Heng in their writings.

They were too full and idle to ride the wave of Xie Heng to get fame.

“Chuchu, I’m different from you. As an official in court, I can’t be as unrestrained and reckless as you are. Of course, I am not saying that you are not good. After all, there are too many considerations in court. I cannot just seek momentary gratification.”

“Well, it’s true. We are in different positions, so naturally, we can’t make the same decisions. But, Da Lang, if someone scolds you again in the future, leave it to me. I’ll avenge you.”

“There is no need to stoop down to their level.”

Xie Heng couldn’t bear to leave her being scolded.

“There is no harm in being scolded, not to mention bringing me any trouble. Responding to them would, however, show them respect.”

Zhao Chuchu laughed lightly. “Indeed, show them respect.”

“Anything would be better than that. Do you think so?”

“Right!”

Zhao Chuchu came back after having dinner at Xie Heng’s place.

Yuan Hui felt strange. Chuchu had been out for most of the day. She must be hiding something from her.

She waited for her to come out of the shower.

“It’s so late. Why aren’t you resting?” Chuchu came out, twisting her hair, and was a little surprised to see Yuan Hui.

Yuan Hui looked at Chuchu, only to see that she was radiant with happiness—as if she had experienced something incredible.

“Chuchu, you went out the day before yesterday and again today, and you were gone for almost half a day. Did you see someone?” Yuan Hui hesitantly asked. “Is Mr. Xie okay in Yuanjiang County?”

Chuchu was happy to hear that. Was Yuan Hui worried that she was cuckolding Xie Heng?

She deliberately pretended not to understand. “What did you say?”

“Mr. Xie treats you so well. Don’t be fooled by those dandies in the capital of Guangqing Province. Chuchu, it would be hard for me to explain to Mr. Xie. He is better than the fops in the city, so don’t be blind!” Yuan Hui was a little nervous.

Although she didn’t know Xie Heng very well, her intuition told her that Xie Heng was not someone she could mess with.

So Yuan Hui didn’t want to be on unfriendly terms with Xie Heng, and even more so since she had invited Zhao Chuchu here, she didn’t want to have a conflict arise between the couple and end up being blamed by Xie Heng.

“Chuchu, don’t do anything stupid.” Yuan Hui held her hand.

Zhao Chuchu. “…”

“Huihui, do you think I look like the kind of person who is blind in the eyes and the heart? Of course, I go out for something that makes me happy, but it has nothing to do with being sorry to Xie Heng. So, don’t have all these random thoughts in your little head!”

“Really?”

“Of course. Why would I lie to you?”

“That’s good. Otherwise, I’ll feel guilty for causing conflict between you and Mr. Xie.”

Yuan Hui breathed a sigh of relief.

Chuchu patted her. “Of course not. In my eyes, no one is better than Xie Heng for the time being.”

“Thankfully, you know that. Although it’s not good to talk about your husband in private, Chuchu, I think he is a man worthy of a lifetime commitment. There may not be a man in this world who loves you more than he.”

“Indeed, there is not.”

Because now she had no father and no mother.

Those related to the original owner by blood wanted to oppress and exploit her to the extreme. Who would protect her as sincerely as Xie Heng did?

“In that case, I won’t bother you. It would help if you rested early. We must get up early tomorrow to dress up for that laborious poetry and literature gathering.”

“Good, sleep early too.”

When Yuan Hui left, Chuchu dried her hair and began to sort out the things in the makeup case again.

Since she wanted to do business in this field, she had to prepare well to win the battle with certainty.

The next day.

Before dawn, Chuchu heard movement in Yuan Hui’s room.

Yuan Hui was up early to get dressed.

Chuchu originally wanted to snooze in bed, but the noise from Yuan Hui was a bit loud, so she had to get up.

After all, she had agreed to do Yuan Hui’s makeup today.

After washing up, she went to Yuan Hui’s room with her makeup case.

Yuan Hui sat sleepily in front of the dressing table, looking slightly off.

At the sight of Chuchu, she yawned. “Chuchu, let’s not go there today. I’m so sleepy!”

“You are already up, so don’t say that you’re not going. Or you wouldn’t have woken up so early, right?” Chuchu laughed.

She took out the cosmetics, put them on the dressing table, and asked the maid to light a few more candles to make the room better lit.

“These are the rouges and powders you’ve been working on these past two days?” Yuan Hui curiously picked up a box of loose powder.

The packaging of these things was very classic, so it wasn’t awkward to take them out.

Yuan Hui and the maids weren’t suspicious. Instead, they couldn’t take their eyes off the delicate packaging.

...

“Yeah, you’ll know when you try it later. It’s even better than the rouge from those old stores.”

“Then you have to hurry up and try it on me.”

Yuan Hui couldn’t wait.

Every girl loved beauty, and so did Yuan Hui.

Yuan Hui was young, white as snow, and beautiful. In fact, she did not even need much makeup. Chuchu just needed to fix the minor flaws on her face and highlight her features so that her makeup would be light and natural and her face would look more exquisite.

It only took Chuchu 15 minutes to finish Yuan Hui’s makeup.

Yuan Hui opened her eyes to see herself in the mirror and was amazed. “Oh my god, is that me?”

Even the maids complimented and envied the skillful hands of Zhao Chuchu.

It was a pity that Chuchu could not do the ancient hairstyle.

Yuan Hui’s hairstyle could only be left to the maid, who specialized in combing her hair.

The maid was also handy. She put Yuan Hui’s hair into a bun that perfectly matched her makeup, making her more like a little fairy coming out of a painting.

...

Yuan Hui couldn’t take her eyes off the mirror. “I always thought I looked pretty good, but today I realized I could look even better. Ooh, you’re too good.”

Chuchu smiled. “It is just a small trick. By the way, aren’t you going to take Chunxiang with you? Where is she?”

“Ms. Chuchu, I am here.” Chunxiang, who was waiting outside the door, hurried in at the sound of her voice.

The pimples on her face had almost healed, but the marks hadn’t faded yet, and it still looked like it was affecting her beauty.

However, under Chuchu’s skillful hands, the pimple marks were covered up so well that they were not visible at all. They were retouched naturally, without the miserably white cast often seen on those noblewomen who put too much powder on their faces.

“Is this Chunxiang, or did you give her a new face?” Yuan Hui was dumbfounded.
