Kill the sadistic male protagonist and become the emperor

Ren Baozhi stifled a laugh: "You are absolutely right."

The man quickly corrected himself: "Pooh, pooh, no, a man can't be as good as a pig! Oh, that's not right either, a man can be as good as a pig? Can a pig be as good as a man?"

Seeing that the man was scratching his head and no longer bothering her, Ren Baozhi took the opportunity to slip away and came to Chen Lanyue.

Chen Lanyue and Shopkeeper Zhang were very familiar with each other and were chatting at the moment.

The shopkeeper was well-maintained and had exquisite makeup, and she had become the living signboard of Yuyan Shop.

Chen Lanyue said, "Shopkeeper Zhang, I heard you have a new batch of hand cream."

"Oh, Chen Erniang is always well-informed!" Shopkeeper Zhang smiled and took Chen Lanyue by the hand to see the new hand cream.

When the two arrived at the shelf area, Shopkeeper Zhang's expression suddenly became solemn. He stared at Chen Lanyue's hand without saying a word.

Chen Lanyue's heart tightened, and she quickly asked, "Manager Zhang, what's going on?"

"Mrs. Chen Erniang," Shopkeeper Zhang lifted up Chen Lanyue's hand, "Your hand..."

"What's wrong with my hand?"

"Mrs. Chen Er, I, the shopkeeper, will be frank with you. Please don't mind it." Shopkeeper Zhang carefully considered his words and observed Chen Lanyue's expression cautiously.

"But say no defense."

Shopkeeper Zhang placed Chen Lanyue's hand in front of her eyes and gently stroked her knuckles with his fingers. "Look, my lady, although you are a beauty like a fairy, there are many fine lines on your knuckles, which really affects your beauty."

Chen Lanyue carefully examined her ten fingers and was horrified: "There are fine lines on all ten of them!"

Shopkeeper Zhang sighed softly, "Hands are a woman's second face, so they must not be taken lightly."

"I heard that Master Long will be attending a banquet at Chen Erniang's house tomorrow. My lady is as beautiful as a fairy, but you must not let these rough hands ruin her beauty."

"What should I do?" Chen Lanyue was shocked and anxious.

When Ren Baozhi heard this, she couldn't help laughing out loud.

If Chen Lanyue could spend even just one tenth of the time she spends on beauty and use it on her brain, she wouldn't be so stupid.

Such unfounded capitalist rhetoric could easily fool her.

Ren Baozhi feigned surprise and said, "Shopkeeper Zhang said that hands are a woman's second face, and I heard someone in your shop say that eyebrows are a woman's second face. Does that mean that any part of the body that needs to be made more beautiful can become a woman's second face?"

She touched her neck: "Oh, my second face."

He touched his arm again: "Oh, my second face."

Then he looked up at Shopkeeper Zhang with an innocent look in his eyes: "Shopkeeper Zhang, why do I have faces all over my body?"

After hearing what Ren Baozhi said, Chen Lanyue got goose bumps all over her body and she couldn't help but touch her arm.

At this time, Ren Baozhi peeked out from behind and asked softly, "Are you touching your second face?"

Chen Lanyue was so frightened that she shivered and quickly distanced herself from Ren Baozhi: "Stop... stop talking nonsense!"

She swallowed, calmed down and said, "Oh, I think you just don't want me to be beautiful! I must capture Young Master Long, humph!"

"No, are you serious?" Ren Baozhi looked at Chen Lanyue as if she were an idiot, her face full of disbelief.

Shopkeeper Zhang secretly glared at Ren Baozhi, then gently held Chen Lanyue's hand and soothed her, "Don't panic, Chen Erniang, and don't listen to other people's nonsense. Our shop just got a batch of hand cream today. This hand cream uses almond oil as a base, and it's blended with honey and pearl powder..."

After Shopkeeper Zhang finished introducing the ingredients and effects of the product eloquently, he took a box of hand cream from the shelf.

The hand cream was packaged in a gorgeous lacquer box, and the fragrance filled the air as soon as the lid was opened.

Shopkeeper Zhang took some hand cream and carefully applied it on the back of Chen Lanyue's hand.

She first pressed gently to allow the cream to come into close contact with the skin; then, using delicate circular motions, she slowly moved it along the contours of the back of her hand; finally, she gently rubbed it with her fingertips to ensure that every inch of skin was nourished.

"This hand cream, as long as you keep using it, will definitely restore your hands to their former smoothness and delicateness. You have to know that there are no ugly women in this world, only lazy women."

Chen Lanyue nodded, agreeing deeply.

"Just think about it, when Young Master Long is writing a poem, while Chen Erniang is beside him, adding fragrance to the fragrance with her red sleeves. Her hands are not only white and tender, but also emit a faint sweet fragrance. As a man, can Young Master Long control himself?"

Chen Lanyue's ears flushed red as she listened to the scene described by Zhang, the shopkeeper. "How much is this box?"

Shopkeeper Zhang made a two-digit gesture and said, "Two strings of cash for a box."

Ren Baozhi quickly converted it in her mind. One string of coins was equal to 1 copper coins, and one cent could buy three eggs. This small bottle of hand ointment was actually worth 1000 eggs!

Seeing the victim preparing to pay the bill, Ren Baozhi couldn't help but speak up, interrupting their outrageous conversation again.

She tried to hold it back, but couldn't hold it back any longer and choked Chen Lanyue: "Yue'er, although your fingers are wrinkled, your brain is smooth."

Before Chen Lanyue could understand what she meant, Ren Baozhi turned to Shopkeeper Zhang and said, "Shopkeeper Zhang, since you said this hand cream is so effective, your hands must be completely wrinkle-free. Could you please let us take a look?"

She deliberately emphasized the four words "a fine line".

"I want to see if there is anyone in this world whose knuckles are smooth and without fine lines?" Ren Baozhi looked at Manager Zhang and motioned her to stretch out her hand.

Shopkeeper Zhang choked. Seeing that this woman dared to teach Chen Erniang a lesson, he was hesitant to confront her.

While she was thinking about it, Chen Lanyue had already pulled her hand over. Manager Zhang was horrified and wanted to withdraw his hand, but he couldn't break free.

Chen Lanyue carefully examined each of Shopkeeper Zhang's fingers and asked suspiciously, "Shopkeeper Zhang, don't your hands have wrinkles too? Why isn't this hand cream working?"

Shopkeeper Zhang smiled awkwardly, "The oil seller combs her hair with water, and this hand cream is so expensive that I certainly can't bear to use it myself. Only a lady of your stature is worthy of this fine hand cream."

Ren Baozhi looked at Chen Lanyue and felt a faint sense of excitement. She walked up to her and whispered in her ear, "Sister, come with me. I have a secret about Young Master Long to tell you."

Chen Lanyue's eyes lit up: "Tell me quickly!"

Ren Baozhi pulled her to a deserted corner and said, "What Shopkeeper Zhang said just now about the beauty of the red sleeves was all a lie."

"Impossible, absolutely impossible. I think what Manager Zhang said makes perfect sense."

Ren Baozhi deftly bent her fingers. "Look, sister, if your hands are wrinkle-free, you can't bend them, you can't grasp or hold anything. What's the difference between you and a cripple? How can you be a beautiful lady, accompanying Young Master Long?"

Chen Lanyue also imitated Ren Baozhi's behavior, bent her fingers, and felt that what Ren Baozhi said seemed to make some sense.

"Think about it again. Shopkeeper Zhang just said that Young Master Long would lose control. Do you think Young Master Long is such a hasty person?"

Chen Lanyue firmly denied: "Young Master Long is so elegant and graceful, how could he be such a person!"

"That's right! If the scent of this hand cream attracts Long Gongnan's attention, he won't be able to control himself. Given his personality, he might even feel annoyed by my sister for disturbing his thoughts, and thus annoy her!"

"What should I do?"

"Not only will this hand cream turn my sister into a cripple, it will also annoy Young Master Long. It's really not worth it!"

"Yes! I will definitely not buy this hand cream! I will go to find the shopkeeper Zhang to seek justice!" Chen Lanyue said as she was about to go to the shopkeeper Zhang angrily.

Ren Baozhi stopped her in time: "Sister, we won't buy it. Why are you getting yourself into trouble?"
