I started out with seven husbands, and I worked hard to support my family while crying.

As a woman, Xiaoman was naturally tempted when she heard about things that were good for women, and even wanted to buy them all.

She coughed twice, a glint of gold in her eyes, and said slowly.

"What you just described is truly unbelievable. I have never heard of it, let alone seen it!"

"However... if my lady truly possesses such a wondrous item, I may go and take a look at it when the time comes."

"..."

Indeed, women understand women best.

Fang Xiaoxiao thought to herself.

He just said he invited the female warrior to the shop, but the main reason he wanted to know why she saved her was because he wanted to know.

She couldn't possibly believe that a stranger who suddenly appeared and offered help was simply acting out of a sense of justice.

Even a fool wouldn't do something without a profit, let alone a woman with exceptional skills and extraordinary abilities.

Women understand women best; this isn't just a saying.

Fang Xiaoxiao understood this principle very well and was also well aware of the importance of interests.

She said with a smile.

"I wonder when you will be free, my lady. What I just mentioned will probably be released around the 15th of this month, which is next Monday."

As she said this, she made a point of staring into the other person's eyes.

When Xiaoman heard that the date was next week, which happened to be her birthday, she couldn't help but be excited.

Say.

Over the years, she has worked under His Highness the Crown Prince and has earned a considerable amount of gold and silver.

Because I don't usually dress up or like to buy things, I have too much money and nowhere to spend it, which has caused me some trouble.

You have to understand that people like them have absolutely no emotions; they are basically just following orders.

When there's nothing to do, it can get really boring.

Xiaoman also thought about learning from other girls, such as studying music, chess, calligraphy, and painting, and dressing up more beautifully.

Unfortunately, there was no one to teach her, and there were no suitable cosmetics for her.

Most importantly, she dislikes red and pink, and only loves black.

However, most of the rouge and face powders on the market only come in these few colors.

Just now, while Fang Xiaoxiao was introducing lipsticks and foundations, she was drawn to a product line called Dark Night Rose.

That Dark Rose product comes in lipstick and foundation. The description says that the lipstick will make your lips look dark and shiny, and the foundation can cover up blemishes on your face, such as acne scars.

If it's a scar on the face, I don't know if it can be covered up.

Xiaoman thought about it silently for a moment, then said softly.

"Well... I'll go check it out when I have time!"

Very well, they finally agreed.

Fang Xiaoxiao's expression remained unchanged, but she was secretly delighted.

She just made a bet, betting that the female warrior might like dark-style cosmetics.

Now that the heroine has agreed, how could anyone not be happy?

Thinking of this, she quickly said.

"My lady, you must remember to visit my shop! We have plenty of good stuff!"

Xiaoman nodded to indicate that she would, and then said goodbye to her.

Fang Xiaoxiao watched the female knight walk forward until she disappeared into the darkness before turning around and coming to Zhou Wenjian's side.

……

Inside an alley on Changjie Street.

Pei Zuo, dressed in a black night-clothes, blended into the dark alley, except for his bright eyes, which, like stars in the night, left a deep impression.

He toyed with the jet-black dagger in his hand, a strange smile playing on his lips.

Standing in front of him was a woman with a graceful figure, also dressed in night clothes.

The woman bowed and clasped her hands in a respectful gesture.

"Your Highness, the assassin who tried to kill Lady Fang has been killed by me."

"Well done, Xiaoman!"

Pei Zuo said casually.

But a hint of amusement crept into his eyes as he looked at his subordinates.

Xiaoman, who had received praise from His Highness the Crown Prince, couldn't help but feel overjoyed.

She was rescued by the Crown Prince when she was ten years old and trained to be his shadow guard.

At that time, she was just a poor girl. Due to years of famine, her parents had no choice but to sell her to a brokerage firm.

Originally, this was the best way out for her, given her impoverished background.

However, when she went to the pharmacy, the person who bought her was a middle-aged man.

The man was said to be a servant of an extremely twisted person, and he died within ten days.

Especially for women, not only would they die, but they would also be humiliated.

Upon learning of this, she chose to run away in order to save her life.

Just as she was about to be beaten to death by that man in the street, His Highness the Crown Prince appeared, not only saving her but also avenging the dead by confiscating the property and executing the perverted man.

This is the thought.

Xiaoman knew that she was not worthy of His Highness the Crown Prince, and she also understood that being able to serve as His Highness's bodyguard and protect him in this life was already a blessing earned through many lifetimes.

She dared not ask for so much anymore, dared not think about those unrealistic things.

But she didn't want His Highness the Crown Prince to see her ugly face every day.

This face wasn't from injuries sustained while working as a shadow artist, but rather from something she painted on herself after being bought by a perverted man, in order to avoid being humiliated by him.

But she never expected that the perverted man would still choose to humiliate her.

Xiaoman's eyebrows twitched slightly as she tried her best to suppress the thoughts deep in her heart.

Pei Yan seemed to see through her thoughts and said with concern and gentleness.

"Xiaoman, don't worry about so much. A beautiful appearance is a dime a dozen, but a loyal servant is very rare."

"You are one of the people I value most. No matter what you look like, it doesn't matter to me."

"I regard all of you as brothers and sisters. When the great cause is accomplished, you will all be great contributors, and I will never forget you..."

His tone was calm, like a summer breeze, making people feel pleasant and refreshed.

On both sides of the alley, shadowy figures stood side by side, like stone sculptures, their eyes gleaming.

These people were almost all servants whom the Crown Prince had rescued and carefully nurtured.

In truth, he had already been living with the mindset of facing death.

But the Crown Prince's words moved them all, and they felt a longing in their hearts.

If the crown prince is indeed restored to his original status and ascends the throne, they might be able to live like normal people.

They too can marry and have children, establish families and careers, and bring honor to their families...

"Remember, all of you must live well for me, Your Highness. No matter when or where, your lives are more important than anyone else's!"

Pei Yan delivered a timely speech, his sharp eyes scanning the shadows in the room.

He knew that as long as these people lived, ascending the throne would be a certainty.
