Ugly girl only wants to farm

Xu Chaoyan smiled warmly and handed over a few more sachets.

"If you don't mind, young lady, take a look at these sachets. They each have different effects."

Qiao Yue looked disgusted and pulled out a handkerchief to cover her mouth, mumbling, "What kind of cheap perfume is this? It smells awful. Take it away from my eyes."

Xu Chaoyan took the sachet and gently shook it twice a short distance away, releasing a delicate fragrance that spread around them.

Cailian was about to scold her, but after smelling the delicate fragrance, she suddenly relaxed her brows and hummed a few times.

"Miss, this tastes really good. The aroma is subtle and not overpowering, which is perfect for this season. Why don't you give it a try?"

Qiao Yue looked on with a skeptical expression: "Don't try to fool me. You know I'm really averse to overly strong fragrances."

Qiao Yue strongly disliked those strong fragrances. Previously, the second young lady of the Tongpan family always wore heavy makeup and smelled so strongly of perfume that it made Qiao Yue sneeze uncontrollably. Therefore, she was very resistant to these fragrances of unknown origin.

Cailian picked up a sachet, sniffed it vigorously, and said with certainty, "Miss, what I said is true. This sachet has a delicate fragrance that is perfect for you. The embroidery is also very exquisite."

Xu Chaoyan chimed in, "Miss, why don't you take a few home and try them? These sachets are effective at repelling mosquitoes. Just hang them by your bedside."

When it came to mosquito repellent, Qiao Yue became somewhat troubled, and her hands couldn't help but scratch her arm; she had been bitten by mosquitoes several times yesterday.

During the day, the bites from those tiny mosquitoes are painful and itchy, and a welt quickly appears. That's why she doesn't usually like to go out.

She then took the sachet from the maid and looked at Xu Chaoyan: "Is what you said true? Is this sachet really that magical? You can't fool me. I'm the kind of person who always seeks revenge."

Seeing that there were several red spots on her hands, Xu Chaoyan quickly took some floral water from the side and dripped it on her hands.

"Miss, you can try my newly made floral water. It's refreshing, relieves itching, and is also very effective for mosquito bites."

After hesitating for a long time, Qiao Yue couldn't help but reach out and try it.

About fifteen minutes later, Cailian cheered happily from the side: "Miss, look, this floral water really works! It doesn't itch at all anymore."

Although the floral water did work, Qiao Yue didn't want to admit it at all. She raised an eyebrow and asked Xu Chaoyan one last time, "You are Meng Xiucai's sister."

Then, somewhat puzzled, she turned to Cailian and asked, "Didn't you find out that she only has one younger sister? How come there's another one?"

Cailian also looked surprised: "When I asked around, they said that she only had one younger sister who hadn't reached marriageable age yet."

Then she thought for a moment: "I guess they just moved here not long ago and the people around them are not familiar with them? It's my fault for not finding out more clearly."

Xu Chaoyan was taken aback by her seemingly random question.

Seeing that she was stunned and didn't say anything, Cailian thought to herself that this scholar Meng was as handsome as a gentle breeze and a bright moon, but his younger sister looked rather shabby.

Qiao Yue forced out what she thought was a proper smile.

She was also a little puzzled. The scholar Meng was quite handsome, but his younger sister was only average-looking. The little girl was rather pretty, but her skin was a bit dark, and the acne scars on her face affected her appearance.

She shook her head with a regretful expression, wondering if she should send them some beauty and skincare recipes to try next time.

Seeing that Xu Chaoyan remained silent, she instructed her maid to take out some silver and hand it over: "Pack up all these different scented sachets for me. The family will need them. It's remarkable that you're working outside at such a young age to support your brother's education."

Xu Chaoyan then realized that this person also considered her Meng Jiuhe's sister. She didn't say anything to explain; after all, they were all sisters. Before, when Meng Jiuhe bullied her badly, he forced her to call him "brother" before he would let her go. Aren't they all sisters anyway?

Why do you look so dazed, girl?

Cailian directly stuffed the silver into her hand.

"Keep the change. Consider the rest as a reward from my young lady for you two to buy snacks. Hurry up and thank her."

Xu Chaoyan wasn't wearing a traditional married woman's hairstyle; due to the hot weather, she simply tied her hair into a simple bun for convenience. She probably caused the two to misunderstand.

"Little sister, little sister, what are you standing there for? Hurry up and wrap up that sachet for our honored guest, and remember to wrap it up carefully."

Before leaving, Xu Chaoyan slipped two or three bottles of floral water into Qiao Yue's hands.

"Thank you for not minding the things at my stall. Consider these bottles of floral water a thank you gift. A few drops on the floor while bathing will cool you down and relieve itching. It can also prevent prickly heat. You can also sprinkle some on your sleeves or the hem of your skirt to keep mosquitoes away."

Qiao Yue saw that this girl was quite accommodating, and smiled slightly. Although Meng Jiuhe was a bit difficult to approach, his younger sister was easy to talk to. However, her money-grubbing attitude was indeed a bit of an eyesore compared to Meng Jiuhe. But it was indeed not easy for the two young girls to be out in public to support their older brother's studies.

Qiao Yue happily packed her things, and even lifted her sleeve to sniff it several times. The light fragrance was indeed quite suitable for her, and she looked very cheerful.

"The second young lady always likes to compete with me for everything. I heard that she went to a summer resort in the suburbs a few days ago to escape the heat. She was bitten by mosquitoes and her body is covered in red bumps. She's been too embarrassed to come out and see anyone these past few days. Why don't we prepare a gift and go see her tomorrow?"

When Cailian heard her say this, she knew that her mistress probably wanted to go and show off.

She hadn't gotten revenge for stealing her fabric last time, and coincidentally, the second young lady was covered in red bumps from being bitten. The young lady figured she was going to go watch the spectacle.

The second young lady has naturally delicate skin; even a slight mosquito bite will leave a red bump.

She used to dislike going out in the summer, but this time she heard that the prefect's son was going to a summer resort outside the city, so she begged her mother to take her there too. But the resort was far away from her.

On their way there, their carriage broke down, and they spent the night outdoors, getting bitten by mosquitoes all over their bodies.

Enraged, the man returned home the next day and has been hiding in his residence ever since. Qiao Yue revealed a cunning look in her eyes. Isn't this the perfect opportunity for revenge?

Cailian looked at her with some concern: "Miss, isn't this a bit inappropriate? What if the Second Miss gets angry and starts arguing with you?"

Qiao Yue raised her sleeve again and gently sniffed the delicate scent, looking completely unconcerned: "Am I afraid of her? I just wanted to show off my new sachet and this fragrance."

After saying that, she revealed a gloating expression: "I just want to see her make a fool of herself, and I especially want to see her face covered in red bumps, since she used to bully me all the time."

When Meng Jiuhe returned from outside, Meng Jiuxia quickly checked and saw that her sister-in-law wasn't there. She ran over in a few steps, looking anxious, "Big brother, big brother!"

Meng Jiuhe was completely puzzled: "What's wrong? Are you in such a hurry to welcome me back?"

Meng Jiuxia rolled her eyes at him and looked at him with disappointment: "You've only been here a short time, and you've already gotten yourself into another romantic mess, haven't you? Wasn't Zhang Qiao'er's lesson enough?"

I'm so frustrated. Another work of mine has been approved for review. If it gets taken down again, it'll be a million words long. Do they really have to take down both of my rated works? All my hard work of a million words over several months has gone down the drain. I'm in a terrible mood. This account might even be ruined.
