The Rebirth of a Daughter: My Lord, I Will Never Be a Concubine

Su Yanhua nodded: "It's me, how did you get hurt like this?"

Liu Li's eyes were filled with complex emotions, and he finally sighed deeply: "It's a long story."

"Then we'll talk about it later."

At this moment, Cui'er also caught up. In order to avoid attracting attention, Su Yanhua asked Cui'er to buy a few bottles of medicine. The two of them helped Liu Li back to the Su Mansion.

Su Yanhua called a doctor to treat Liu Li. Fortunately, it was only a superficial injury without any damage to the bones or muscles. After sending the doctor away, Su Yanhua stayed.

"Say it!"

Liu Li's face looked a little better, but his lips were still pale.

"After saying goodbye to you that day, we came to Lingcheng to stay with my aunt. My aunt treated us very well a few days ago. One day, I felt unwell for no apparent reason. The doctor said I seemed to have a strange disease. My aunt said that only Shengxian Manor in Lingcheng had a cure for it. Suihe ran to Shengxian Manor to save me."

Liu Li's expression turned to hatred. "That day I overheard my aunt's conversation and realized she did it on purpose. She simply gave me a drug that made me confused and weak. She planned this conspiracy because the people in Shengxian Manor were attracted by Leng Suihe's appearance. My aunt was greedy and tricked Suihe into going to Shengxian Manor."

"Then you went to save her, but failed?" Su Yanhua asked.

"Sage Manor is full of martial arts masters. Oh, we were deeply poisoned by drugs at that time, and there was no way we could resist them." Liu Li blamed himself very much: "It's all my fault. I shouldn't have trusted her. If I had, Sui He wouldn't have fallen into the clutches of the devil for saving me."

Su Yanhua frowned and asked, "Are you sure it's Shengxian Manor?"

It's not that Su Yanhua doesn't believe it. Shengxian Manor, like other clothes and jewelry shops in Lingcheng, produces items that women like. The difference is that the rouge and powder produced by Shengxian Manor are not so famous. This is mainly because of the Rouge Zui from the Imperial Palace. It is sought after by most women in Lingcheng and almost monopolizes the rouge and powder market.

Although Shengxian Manor is not well-known, it is the only one that survived under the fame of Yanzhizui, because its target audience is the common people. The women among the common people cannot afford Yanzhizui, so they can only buy some Yanzhi with better character. Shengxian Manor got its name from this.

Su Yanhua, who was loved by the people, could not figure out why Shengxianzhuang wanted to capture a woman?

Is there some unknown conspiracy here?

Liu Li hereby begged Su Yanhua to help save his sister. During his stay in the mansion, he knew that Su Yanhua was the legitimate daughter of the Su family and had great martial arts skills. Now he was alone and had no other choice.

Even without Liu Li's advice, Su Yanhua would save Liu Suihe. She immediately decided to go to Shengxian Manor in person to find out the truth.

The regular customers of Shengxian Manor are generally ordinary people. In order to avoid attracting attention, Su Yanhua took off the silky fabric clothes and put on an ordinary silver silk embroidered flower skirt.

There are a lot of people on the streets these days, and even Shengxian Manor is no exception. Su Yanhua stood outside the door and looked up. She saw three big words: Shengxian Manor stands here, and it cannot be ignored.

The place was full of women picking out rouge and powder. Su Yanhua walked in and started choosing from the shelves. She opened a pot of rouge and looked at it. The color was bright. She touched it and found the texture was very soft.

The only drawback may be that it is not long-lasting enough. She rubbed it with two fingers and the color instantly faded. However, it is undeniable that these colors are very beautiful and make people want to buy them at first sight.

"Which one do you want, girl?"

A woman came over here, who seemed to be from the store. She walked slowly and asked with a smile.

Su Yanhua said calmly, "I've been using your rouge for a long time and I really like it. I wonder how these rouges are made?"

The woman immediately chimed in, "The raw material for our rouge is the red and blue flower. We pick the petals, pound them in a pestle until cooked, then rinse them with water and squeeze out the yellow juice with a cloth bag. We pound them again, then rinse them with millet paste and vinegar, and squeeze out the juice with a cloth bag. We then collect them and dye them red, which is how rouge is made."

Su Yanhua nodded as if she didn't care. "It's quite complicated." She sniffed the rouge and said, "It seems to have a faint fragrance."

"Every rouge in Shengxian Manor has a different scent. I don't know which scent you like. I can help you find it." The woman's face was full of smiles and she was extremely friendly.

"No need, I'm not here to sell rouge." Su Yanhua tried to speak: "My sister said she likes your rouge and wants to buy some. I came to look for her, but I waited for a long time and couldn't see anyone."

Su Yanhua asked sincerely, "She's wearing a pleated blue floral dress, with two buns on her head, and she has a very sweet smile. She should be easy to recognize. Did you see her?"

The woman still had that smiling face, but Su Yanhua did not miss the flash of panic in her eyes.

"There are so many people today that I didn't notice it."

"Oh, that's it. We sisters just arrived in Lingcheng, and she insisted on selling the rouge here. I couldn't stop her, and now she's lost." Su Yanhua pretended to be sad.

"Forget it, I'd better go report to the police!" After saying that, Su Yanhua was about to turn around and leave.

Unexpectedly, the woman grabbed Su Yanhua and smiled kindly. Perhaps she didn't even know that her smile was just a trace of memory and there was no trace of authenticity at all.

"Girl, there are a lot of people here now, how about I send someone to help you look for it?"

Su Yanhua agreed, and the woman called a man over and told him a few things. The man looked at Su Yanhua and then walked away.

Not long after, the man came back quickly and said something to the woman.

The woman came over, her face not smiling so sincerely at this time.

"Miss, the servants went to the backyard to search and found a girl who looked very similar to the one you described. Why don't you go to the backyard and take a look—"

Su Yanhua's eyebrows jumped: "Backyard?"

"The backyard is where rouge and powder are made to order. Those are just samples. Maybe your sister went there!"

Cui'er said that the products in Shengxianzhuang's store are ready-made and sold directly, while the samples are in the back. Generally, people go to the backyard to select samples for private orders!

Su Yanhua followed the servants, walked through the front hall, and lifted the curtain. The backyard was spacious, and a small alley with lush grass and chirping birds led to another house.

Su Yanhua's eyes were full of coldness, and her steps gradually stopped.

"You're not taking the wrong path, are you?"

The servant didn't turn around and answered directly: "Yes, I just saw your sister here."

Su Yanhua glanced at the old wooden door and calmly pointed out, "This house must have been uninhabited for a long time. How could it be used to make rouge and powder?"

After he finished speaking, the servant walking in front paused, still without turning back.

"Miss, you don't know, this is indeed where samples are stored." Before the last word fell, he turned around and threw the powder: "They are just human samples."

He looked at Su Yanhua who slowly fell down with an expressionless face, and said calmly: "I can't let you ruin our good thing!"
