"Sister-in-law, wait here for for a mont," Xiaoxiao thought it best to let her sister-in-law see her makeup transformation; after all, she would have to present herself well before eting others in the future, and the family should get used to it first.
"Eh? Third sister-in-law," the second brother’s wife looked bewildered as she watched the third sister-in-law leave and then co back.
After washing her face, Xiaoxiao sat at the table, took out the bronze mirror, and began combing her hair over and over with a comb.
The second brother’s wife was truly getting anxious, "Third sister-in-law, it’s an ergency, why are you still so leisurely and unconcerned?"
"Haha, it’s nothing, actually, the person Yang Ming was carrying last night was , that’s why I’m not in a hurry."
"Pfft!"
Upon hearing this, the second brother’s wife laughed out loud, clearly not believing a word.
"Third sister-in-law, you’re covering for the third brother! Everyone says the woman he carried was beautiful, definitely not a scholar’s wife."
"Are you saying I’m not pretty, sister-in-law?"
"You know whether you’re pretty or not, don’t need to say it."
"..." Did her sister-in-law have to be so blunt? Okay, she admitted she was not good-looking, her sister-in-law was right.
"I knew you wouldn’t believe , that’s why I asked you to wait."
"Wait for what?" the second brother’s wife was puzzled.
"Wait for do hairstyle and makeup."
As she spoke, Xiaoxiao took out the rouge and face powder as well as the hair accessories given to her by Mudan.
"Third sister-in-law, when did you get all these things? They must’ve been expensive," she exclaid upon seeing the items.
"Oh, just got them yesterday, a new friend gave them to ."
"..." Third sister-in-law sure is impressive, befriending powerful people who give away such valuable gifts so casually.
Xiaoxiao then started fiddling with her makeup in front of her sister-in-law, letting her witness the transformation bit by bit until the sister-in-law was so shocked she couldn’t speak, "Third sister-in-law, you..."
With her makeup done, Xiaoxiao smiled and gave her sister-in-law a look, "Do you believe now? Yang Ming really did carry last night."
"Third sister-in-law, you look so beautiful, I almost didn’t recognize you."
Looking at her reflection in the mirror, Xiaoxiao felt even more confident. They say a person’s looks are 30% natural and 70% grooming, and that really seed true. She had thought herself to be quite good at dressing up before, but now realized that her confidence had been blind.
"Not hiding anything from you, I went to find Yang Ming looking like this yesterday. He didn’t recognize and ran off scared. It took calling him several tis before he was willing to co out of the Academy."
"Did third brother really do that?"
"Yes, that’s why I trust him so much, he wouldn’t go after other won behind my back. Relax, relax."
Now the second brother’s wife really believed her and burst out laughing, "I was wondering why the third brother was so busy this early in the morning. Turns out it was you, third sister-in-law, you’ve beco so pretty!"
"..." How big of a misunderstanding can this be? She refused to believe that her sister-in-law thought she and Yang Ming were "up to sothing." As if she and her second brother didn’t have any thoughts of their own.
With a mischievous smile in her eyes, she teased, "Sister-in-law, don’t always talk about . What were you and second brother up to this morning? Don’t act like I don’t know."
The second brother’s wife blushed at these words and hurriedly said, "Third sister-in-law, I’ve got things to do, I’ll go first."
Then she rushed out the door.
"Sister-in-law, don’t go, let’s share tips," Xiaoxiao laughed heartily after the sister-in-law left, sure from her reaction that she and the second brother had indeed been "busy."
When it ca to gossiping about others, the sister-in-law could do so without turning a hair, but when it was her turn, she was so shy, which was really amusing. Xiaoxiao now knew how to tease her sister-in-law!
