"Mr. Xu, could you please help me put on my makeup?" the woman asked expectantly, her eyes revealing a hint of eagerness to try.

She was secretly thinking: today she must dress up carefully, make her husband crazy, and then pull him into her boudoir. It would be best if she could get pregnant after spending a good night together, so that she can consolidate her position.

After all, she had been married for half a year, but her belly was still not moving. Her mother-in-law had long been dissatisfied with this and often complained about it. If the young and beautiful concubine got pregnant first, she was afraid that her mother-in-law would deprive her of the power to manage household affairs.

"Of course, but you need to pay twenty taels of silver first." Xu Dong's family replied slowly.

"Okay." Although the price was high, the woman readily agreed and paid twenty taels of silver. Because in her opinion, this investment was definitely worth it. As long as she could successfully conceive, everything would be worth it. It was not much for her, so the woman readily took out the silver and gave it to Xu Yahan.

Xu Yahan took the silver with a smile and carefully put it in her arms. Counting this income, she earned a total of one hundred taels of silver today! She couldn't help but feel secretly happy.

In fact, for businessmen, women's money is often the easiest to earn. After all, which woman in the world doesn't love beauty? This is especially true for the ladies of wealthy families. For them, a few dozen taels of silver is nothing. What really matters is whether they can get the love and favor of their husbands.

At this moment, Xu Yahan was extremely busy. Time passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye, another stick of incense had passed.

The woman gently picked up an exquisite bronze mirror and looked at her face carefully. There was a hint of anticipation and excitement in her eyes, as if she was waiting for a miracle to happen.

When she saw herself in the mirror, she couldn't help but smile with satisfaction. Her skin became more delicate and smooth, like white jade; her eyebrows were carefully trimmed and looked particularly stylish; her lips were painted with bright lipstick, exuding charming charm.

The woman said softly, "Thank you, Mr. Xu." Her voice was full of gratitude.

"You're welcome. We just get what we need. You spend the money and I do the work."

Use people's money to eliminate disasters for others.

"Actually, you can learn makeup techniques by yourself. Once you learn it, spend some time at home every day, and you don't have to come to me every time. If I receive a lot of people, you may have to wait for a whole day."

After Xu Yahan said this, both ladies were moved.

I learned how to do it myself. Every morning when I wake up, I put on beautiful makeup. When my husband sees it, am I still afraid that he won't love me?

"Mr. Xu, I want to study, but I wonder how much the tuition is?" The woman knew that there was no free lunch in the world, and everything required a corresponding price.

"Five hundred taels per person," Xu Yahan gestured with her hand.

"Five hundred taels? Is that too much?" the woman asked.

"Think of it this way. If you spend five hundred taels to learn how to put on makeup and appear beautifully in front of your husband every day, you can keep your husband's body and heart. Do you still think five hundred taels is expensive?"

After hearing this, the woman couldn't help but hesitate. After all, five hundred taels is not a small amount.

After some careful consideration, the woman finally spoke: "Master Xu, your proposal is indeed very tempting. But these five hundred taels of silver... are not a small amount, and it is difficult for me to come up with it at the moment. Can you allow me to consider it and give you an answer tomorrow?"

After saying these words, the woman looked at the other person with expectant and pleading eyes, hoping that she could understand her difficulties and agree to her request.

"Okay." Xu Yahan said softly.

Another woman echoed, "I will have to wait until tomorrow to give you an answer. When I get home tonight, I'll whisper in my husband's ear. Maybe he'll be happy and give me five hundred taels of silver."

"Okay." Xu Yahan nodded to show her understanding.

At this time, the woman stood up and said goodbye, "Master Xu, I will go home first."

"Have a good time. Chuntao, go and see the two couples off." Xu Yahan ordered.

"Yes, Miss Xu." Chun Tao responded, and said to the two women, "Madams, please follow me."

"Well, thank you." The two women responded in unison.

After the two women left, Xu Yahan turned her attention to Xiao Qingze.

You know, this was the first time Xiao Qingze had waited for someone else. Finally, he couldn't help but ask, "Boss Xu, have you dealt with everything?"

"It's already been handled. What do you want to talk to me about?" Xu Yahan replied calmly. After all, for this man who had only had a one-night stand, although she was attracted to him physically, she was not attracted to him emotionally. So her tone when talking to him was naturally very cold. She was not polite.

This was the first time in Xiao Qingze's life that he was treated so coldly by a woman, which made him feel very surprised and unhappy.

After all, with his noble and respected status, there are countless women who dream of marrying into a wealthy family and becoming his wife!

At this moment, Xiao Qing couldn't help but think to herself: The woman in front of him named Xu Yahan doesn't know her true identity yet, but if she knew the truth, she would surely be eager to enter the palace to compete for the title of imperial concubine!

So, with a bit of curiosity and tentativeness, Xiao Qing asked: "So, are you willing to enter the palace?"

Before he finished his words, the tea that Xu Yahan had just drunk suddenly spurted out and splashed all over Xiao Qingze's face.

She opened her eyes wide and asked in astonishment, "Why should I enter the palace?"

Xiao Qing frowned and asked in confusion: "Don't all women in the world try their best to enter the palace and become the emperor's concubine?"

Xu Yahan sneered and responded righteously: "Don't talk nonsense! That is just the choice of other women, not my personal wish. To tell you the truth, I have no intention of entering the palace at all."

Facing Xu Yahan's firm and decisive answer, Xiao Qing became more and more confused. He really couldn't understand why this seemingly elegant woman had no desire for palace life. So he continued to ask: "What is the reason that makes you so disgusted with entering the palace?"

“Once you enter the palace, it’s as deep as the sea, and you’ll be separated from the worldly world by high walls. Although the palace seems magnificent, prosperous and bustling, the intrigues and deceptions inside are beyond the endurance of ordinary people. So, the palace is definitely not a good place!” It was the first time that Xiao Qingze heard someone comment on the palace in this way, and he couldn’t help but feel very curious.

"Oh? From what you said, it seems that you have quite a lot of insights into the affairs of the palace. I wonder where you got this from?" He deliberately asked, wanting to hear more of the other party's opinions.

Xu Yahan's heart moved, and she felt that this question was a little sensitive, so she became more cautious and did not answer easily: "Why are you so curious? Who are you?" She looked at Xiao Qingze sharply, trying to find some clues from his expression and words.

Xiao Qing's mind raced, and he decided not to reveal his true identity for the time being, so he made up an excuse and said, "I'm just an ordinary guard." He spoke so seriously that no one could spot any flaws.

In fact, he did this just to take the opportunity to trick Xu Yahan into talking.
