Chapter 738: Chapter 738 Found it Found it Chapter 738: Chapter 738 Found it Found it “Second Sister, I’ve noticed that you seem much prettier than before.”
In the end, Su Yunjin still didn’t bring up that man’s affair, she held her breath and decided to wait until Gu Ya had conducted a thorough investigation and obtained definitive news before it was too late to speak.
After using the whitening mud that Su Yunjin had given Su Ningxiu, and seeing her skin genuinely improve after a few applications, she began to apply it to her face every day.
Morning and evening, she would slather it on; originally, Su Ningxiu’s facial skin was slightly yellow and somewhat parched, but after using the mud that Su Yunjin provided, not only did her skin become fairer, it was now tender and dewy, as if it could be pinched and water would come out. At the age of sixteen or seventeen, such a complexion was normal.
Before, when the Su family didn’t eat well and all the good stuff was plundered away by their stepmother and uncle’s family, they didn’t get enough nourishment, so the skin on their faces naturally couldn’t look too good.
Now, after Su Yunjin’s changes, her parents learned to fight back; and with the few taels of silver that Su Yunjin had given them before, her elder brother and father were able to earn some money doing odd jobs outside, which contributed to the family’s finances each month. Gradually, the days for Su Yunjin’s family improved significantly.
Su Xiaobao went to school, while Su Ningxiu and Mrs. Shen stayed at home, occasionally doing some embroidery work they could exchange for money at the market, improving their diet.
Their bodies filled out with more flesh. Su Ningxiu not only looked prettier in the face but also gained a fuller figure. The current Su Ningxiu, while not a breathtaking beauty,
was neat and pretty, a true “jade of the family.”
When Su Yunjin said Su Ningxiu had become prettier, Su Ningxiu’s face flushed with delight and happiness. “Little Sister, Second Sister became beautiful because of the mud you gave me.”
If it hadn’t been for the mud her little sister had given her, how could her face have become as fair and moist as it was now? During the day, when Su Ningxiu looked at herself in the copper mirror at home,
she could also feel that she had become prettier. There’s an old saying that a woman dresses for the one who admires her, and now that Su Ningxiu had become more attractive, she felt even more confident in front of that Young Master Wu.
Every time she went to see Young Master Wu, Su Ningxiu made sure she was dressed up beautifully. Seeing Young Master Wu’s astonished and admiring gaze, Su Ningxiu felt a sense of blissful satisfaction.
Dreaming of Young Master Wu, Su Ningxiu wished she could marry him soon, so she could see him every day like her little sister and brother-in-law did, spending every day together with Young Master Wu.
Thinking of Young Master Wu, Su Ningxiu wore an expression of happiness so clear it was beyond words; her bashful yet joyous demeanor was evident, but Mrs. Shen and Su Zhongshi were honest folk,
and they didn’t notice anything amiss. However, Su Yunjin saw through it at a glance, knowing that her Second Sister must be yearning for that Young Master Wu again. Su Yunjin knew that feelings couldn’t be controlled.
To prevent her Second Sister Su Ningxiu from falling deeper and becoming unable to extricate herself in the future, she had to cut her sister’s thoughts off as soon as possible. Otherwise, even if they discovered that Young Master Wu was a fraud,
her Second Sister might still foolishly be willing to be deceived by him.
Su Yunjin glanced out of the shop, wondering if Gu Ya managed to find out anything about the man who liked her Second Sister. Could he come back with news today?
If he could clear things up today,
then she would speak to her Second Sister about it today.
As the saying goes, “Speak of the devil and he shall appear”; just as Su Yunjin was thinking of Gu Ya, he hurriedly walked in from outside, “I found out, I found out! Yunjin, I’ve looked into everything you asked me to investigate.”
