Quick Wear: The soft cannon fodder turns into a heartthrob and seduce

The woman who came out of the inner room of the rouge shop had a pretty and charming appearance with gentle features, but her eyes and brows had a sharp edge.

She was slender and stood very straight.

When the shopkeeper saw the boss arrive, he hurriedly and respectfully went to greet him.

"Boss Luo, the problematic batch of goods that just arrived has been taken back by them."

The woman referred to as "Boss Luo" remained indifferent.

"Okay, make sure you check carefully and don't make any mistakes."

"Yes."

Everyone else glanced over secretly.

No one expected that the owner of this shop would be such a young girl.

"Miss, watch your step."

Fen Yu whispered a reminder to Mu Zhou to be careful of the steps at the door.

The sound drew a glance from Boss Luo, and Mu Zhou also happened to look over.

Their eyes met briefly in mid-air.

Mu Zhou casually looked away, but the woman glanced at her a few more times before slowly furrowing her brows.

Just then, a loud, boisterous voice came running in:

"Zhou'er?"

Mu Zhou turned around, looked at the lively woman who had skipped in, and smiled:

"Chun Ling."

Wang Chunling was one of Mu Zhou's few close friends.

She was flamboyant and spoke without thinking, often offending people without realizing it. As a result, although her father was the Minister of the Court of Judicial Review, many daughters of prominent families did not like to associate with her.

The original owner was tolerant and had a mild temper. Even when Wang Chunling said something unpleasant, she wouldn't argue with her. Because of her kind nature, love of standing up for the weak, and strong sense of justice, the original owner admired her character, and that's how their relationship grew closer.

Mu Zhou had invited her out for tea today, and the location was nearby. Wang Chunling went out early and saw Mu Zhou's carriage outside the rouge shop, so she simply went in.

Why didn't you ask me to come with you when you went shopping?

As soon as Wang Chunling arrived, she began to "question" Mu Zhou, who smiled shyly and remained silent.

The rain was pouring down as he said:

“Miss Wang, this shop belongs to General Qin. My young lady just ran out of lip rouge, so she thought she would like to come and take a look.”

Fen Yu didn't hold back her words, so Luo Mengyao and the shopkeeper overheard them.

The two men had different expressions.

The shopkeeper quickly looked at Boss Luo on the side.

He had personally witnessed General Qin's respect and care for this Boss Luo.

This is definitely not an ordinary relationship.

Presumably, it will be taken into the household in the future.

If General Qin is able to inherit the throne from a different surname in the future, this Boss Luo will inevitably become a concubine.

Therefore, he usually held Boss Luo in extremely high esteem.

But the eldest daughter of the Mu family in front of us is the undisputed matriarch of the family.

It goes without saying how good General Qin was to Miss Mu; he was so good to her that he didn't even care about military merits.

Moreover, he was well-informed and had already heard from people in the General's Mansion that General Qin would be going to the Mu family to propose marriage tomorrow.

So his eyes darted around, and he quickly went to Mu Zhou and bowed respectfully:

"Greetings to Miss Mu. I am Lin Yi, the shopkeeper of this shop."

Mu Zhou was clearly not used to being treated with such respect, so he only said in a soft voice:

"I'm just taking a look around. If Brother Qin isn't here, I'll be leaving now."

Chunling pulled her back:

"Hey, why are you leaving? You're already here, why not take a look around?"

Chunling excitedly pulled Muzhou to sit down and looked at the lip rouge they presented.

Luo Mengyao's originally calm expression turned somewhat gloomy.

She knew Mu Zhou.

She had been told everything about Qin Yansi, and she had even secretly met this Miss Mu out of curiosity.

She's beautiful, but lacks any class or charm.

It's so good that once you see it, you don't want to look at it again.

Although she was a wealthy young lady, her carriage was extremely simple, even less luxurious than hers.

She actually felt a little sorry for this young lady.

After that, she lost interest and never paid any special attention to it again.

Although they were both in the capital, the two had never officially met.

Today, she suddenly showed up at the door, acting like the lady of the house, which made Luo Mengyao feel inexplicably uncomfortable.

She thought it was probably because the rouge shop was her life's work, and she didn't want others to touch it.

However, the thought that she was her shield, that she was safe because of her, and that Lord Qin could take revenge without any worries, made her discomfort disappear.

Never mind, I'll just consider it as making it up to her.

A smile appeared on Luo Mengyao's cool face. She took out a piece of rouge from the treasury and walked gracefully forward.

“Miss Mu, this rouge comes from the Western Regions. It is made from the finest cochineal insects and has an extremely rare color. It is very suitable for you.”

She appeared calm and confident, her back ramrod straight, not bending down even slightly.

Such fine rouge must be something Miss Mu has never seen before.

She awaited her joy.

But Mu Zhou simply said:

"Thanks, keep it."

Mu Zhou spoke gently, but didn't even glance at her.

He treated her as just an ordinary shop assistant in the cosmetics shop.

Luo Mengyao's smile froze slightly, then she gave an indifferent twitch at the corner of her mouth.

A moment later, a steady footstep sounded outside the door.

Wang Chunling excitedly shook Mu Zhou's hand, winking at her teasingly:

"General Qin has arrived."

Mu Zhou looked over, and her cheeks instantly flushed slightly.

Qin Yansi strode in and immediately saw Luo Mengyao standing in front of the cabinet. Just as he was about to go over, he suddenly noticed that Mu Zhou was also there.

He paused, his expression slightly changing:

"Why are you here?"

Mu Zhou moved slowly to stand in front of him and whispered:

"Brother Qin, I've come out to buy some fabrics and other items."

She has always done this.

She would personally sew insoles, waist supports, and other personal items for Qin Yansi when he went to war.

Thinking of this, Qin Yansi's expression improved slightly.

He glanced at Luo Mengyao, who was staring straight at him, and subtly moved a little further away from Mu Zhou, saying:

"Then how did you get here?"

Wang Chunling covered her mouth with her handkerchief and laughed:

"Isn't it because I want to see our Qin more often..."

"Chun Ling!"

Mu Zhou was extremely embarrassed and tried to stop her by tugging at her sleeve. In his haste, he couldn't help but cough again.

The innkeeper, being very perceptive, brought over a cup of tea, and Mu Zhou felt a little better after drinking it.

Wang Chunling patted her back and said nonchalantly:

"General Qin is about to go on a campaign. If you want to see him more often, there's nothing wrong with saying so. Everyone in the capital knows that..."

"All right!"

Seeing that Mu Zhou didn't like it, Chun Ling pouted and stopped talking.

Mu Zhou lowered his head and said to Qin Yansi:

"Brother Qin must have something to do here, so I'll be going now."

Wang Chunling pulled her along:

"Don't go! What would a mighty and valiant General Qin be doing in this little shop? If you ask me, he must have seen your carriage parked at the door and that's why he came in!"

Qin Yansi instinctively wanted to retort, but seeing Mu Zhou's affectionate gaze, he was speechless for a moment.

By the time you realize what's happening and try to refute it, you've already missed the best opportunity, and speaking up at that point would seem too deliberate.

He could only remain silent, taking it as tacit agreement.

Upon seeing this, everyone wore expressions of "I knew it!"

Wang Chunling looked at her best friend, whose face was flushed with embarrassment, and couldn't help but laugh.

On the other side, Luo Mengyao's expression was unfriendly, but she didn't reveal too much.

She understood that in public, Lord Qin would always show some consideration for Miss Mu.

When the maidservant beside Mu Zhou came to settle the bill, she accepted it without thinking much about it.

She's the owner here, in charge of the shop, and the payment has been settled; there's nothing wrong with that.
