"Are you interested in that one called Chang Tai?" After Chang Tai and his group left, White Fox elegantly walked over to Xing Ruyi, casting a slightly jealous glance at her.
"What are you talking about? Brother Chang is a good person; don't spread rumors about him." She stretched out her toe and kicked at White Fox's tail. Surprisingly, it didn't dodge.
"If you have no feelings for him, why are you deliberately stalling for time and sending them enhanced pomelo leaves?" Seeing Xing Ruyi kick again, White Fox nimbly jumped onto the table.
"I was just being kind; it's none of your business." Xing Ruyi shot a glance at White Fox. "That Yu Niang may be beautiful, but her heart is quite malicious. Not only does she covet the Zhang family's wealth and collude with Old Master Zhang, but she also incites her own husband to conspire with her to abuse her mother-in-law to death, then secretly buried her under the old mulberry tree behind the house. When Wang Liu saw his wife having an affair, he was already resentful. Now that his own son and daughter-in-law conspired to kill her, he was even more furious. Therefore, when he died, he attached all that hatred and resentment to the old mulberry tree. Yu Niang's bedroom is right beneath that tree, and over time, it has grown quite a lot of things. Now that the truth is out, White Fox, it shouldn't involve others. Besides, Wang Liu has already returned to the Underworld and reincarnated; the resentment left on that old mulberry tree should be thoroughly cleared away, right? This can be considered as me accumulating good karma for myself. Unlike you, who only has romantic thoughts in that fox brain of yours."
White Fox narrowed its eyes but said nothing, tiptoeing over to Xing Ruyi and gently rubbing its head against her.
"Alright, I am magnanimous enough not to argue with a Stinky Fox like you." With a cold snort, Xing Ruyi turned and went back to the kitchen. White Fox watched her retreating figure, its eyes filled with amusement.
As the days grew warmer, business at Ruyi Workshop improved significantly. If it weren't for that noisy White Fox, Xing Ruyi would truly sigh and say: "The landscape is so beautiful; life in the Tang Dynasty is wonderful."
"This box contains Amber Cloud, which perfectly matches Madam's makeup today. You should take a look."
"Amber Cloud? What a lovely name! Is it also Rouge?" Madam Liu looked at the elegant box, unable to hide her delight.
"This is eye makeup; let me demonstrate for you, Madam." Xing Ruyi opened the box of Amber Cloud and gently dipped her thumb into it before lightly applying it on Madam Liu's eyelids. Once finished, Madam Liu eagerly turned to her companion and asked, "What do you think, Yan Niang?"
"It truly matches the name Amber Cloud; just as Ruyi said, it complements your makeup today very well and even adds a touch of brilliance." Yan Niang lived up to her name—not only was she dressed flamboyantly, but she was also exceptionally beautiful.
"Since even Yan Niang thinks so highly of it, this must be excellent. Ruyi, I want this box of Amber Cloud. Also, get another box; I want to give it to Yan Niang."
"Madam, you are too polite. Such a precious item, Yanniang cannot accept." Yanniang repeatedly declined, but Xing Ruyi merely smiled gently and did not move.
"What do you mean by cannot accept?" Madam Liu pointed towards the counter, "Just this Amber Smoke Cloud. Get another box, and also that Rouge. I will have someone deliver them to Yanniang's residence later."
"If it is Madam's Amber Smoke Cloud, then Fox Demon truly cannot take it." Xing Ruyi shook her head with a faint smile, "Madam's elegance complements the Amber Smoke Cloud, but it may not be suitable for Yanniang."
"Oh, then according to Ruyi, what should Yanniang use?" Madam Liu was not bothered by Xing Ruyi's words; she was just eager to know what Yanniang should use.
Xing Ruyi looked around the display and finally took out a white box with a red Rouge pattern and placed it on the counter: "Transience of Life is but a Dream, Yanniang should use this."
"Transience of Life is but a Dream, Transience of Life is but a Dream." Yanniang repeated the name twice before picking up the box and holding it in her palm, smiling sweetly: "Ruyi's items here are indeed different from others. Just hearing the name of Transience of Life is but a Dream makes it very suitable for me."
With that, she took out a silver coin and placed it on the counter, then turned to Madam Liu: "Madam's kindness is appreciated, but I believe in earning my keep. I prefer to pay for my own things."
"You are still the same as ever. Fine, I won't argue with you." Madam Liu also took out silver and placed it on the counter: "This is for my Amber Smoke Cloud. In the future, if there are new products at Ruyi, don't forget to send someone to inform me. I will come back to buy more."
"Thank you, Madam. If there are new items, Fox Demon will personally deliver them for you to choose." Happily accepting the silver, she led Madam Liu and Yanniang to sit down, "Madam please sit, Yanniang, please sit."
"Ruyi is being polite; let's sit together." Madam Liu humbly gestured.
"Fox Demon would like to chat with both Madam and Yanniang, but look, there are other customers waiting." Xing Ruyi pointed towards the front of the counter, "Please enjoy your tea and snacks first. Once Fox Demon finishes up, I will come back to talk with both of you."
Madam Liu nodded, and Yanniang slightly inclined her head in agreement, signaling for her to continue with her work.
As soon as she got up, she saw a maid from the Liu residence rushing in. Upon finding Madam Liu, she quickly said, "Madam, you should hurry back. The steward from the Zhang residence just came by. It seems that the concubine of the Second Master of the Zhang family is in an emergency and will be sent to the medicine hall shortly. The master is worried that it might be an inconvenient illness, so please return quickly."
"The concubine of the Second Master of the Zhang family, could it be that Miss Hongxing?" Yan Niang furrowed her brows.
"Indeed, she is a fine young lady. Although she is a concubine, she is respectful and courteous, treating others with grace, much better than that first wife. Just a few days ago, she came to see our master for a check-up due to an unstable pregnancy. Now that it's so urgent, could something have happened to the child in her womb?"
"If that's the case, Madam should hurry back," Yan Niang said as she stood up.
"Since there is an urgent matter at home, I won't keep you here any longer. This amber smoke will be delivered to you personally later," said the Fox Demon.
"In that case, I must trouble Ruyi," Madam Liu replied, bowing slightly before hurriedly leaving with the maid.
After Madam Liu left, Yan Niang did not linger either. After exchanging pleasantries, she took her leave with a sense of fleeting dreams.
