The peasant girl has a private space, and her husband is handsome.

Before Su Qianqian transmigrated, she also had yellow skin, large pores, and oily skin.

Back then, I especially envied people with fair and delicate skin.

After traveling through time, his wish came true.

Her current beautiful skin is the result of being nourished little by little by the Lingquan spring water.

Her fair, glowing face was a living advertisement as soon as she stood in the room.

Zhou was forced to apologize by Old Madam Xuanyuan, and she was very unhappy.

The matriarch of one of the five great families actually had to apologize to an unknown girl!

Seeing the old lady being helped to the outhouse, she asked directly, "Miss Su, this medicinal powder you have is quite good. Tell me, how much do you want to sell the formula for? Is one hundred taels enough?"

Each of the five great families has its own monopolistic business.

Every woman loves beauty, so Zhou knew that if she got her hands on this whitening and blemish-removing formula, she would definitely make a fortune.

This business might just take the Xuanyuan family's wealth to the next level.

If the young girl were from one of the five great families, Zhou would still have some reservations, but the young girl in front of him was just a commoner from a poor family with no family to rely on.

So what if they bully us? There's no need to worry about retaliation from their families.

Su Qianqian was speechless. The Zhou family was really ruthless. They wanted to buy out the formula as soon as they opened their mouths, and the price they offered was like they were giving money to a beggar.

Wanting such a miraculous formula for a hundred taels of silver is no different from outright robbery; indeed, money can move people's hearts.

"I will not sell the formula. I originally wanted to help Miss San completely cure her face, but now I'm giving up."

Su Qianqian refused outright. She dared to enter the Xuanyuan family alone, so naturally she wasn't afraid of them.

Zhou sneered and gave a wink to the servants in the room. Immediately, four tall and strong servants blocked Su Qianqian's path.

"Tsk tsk, Miss Su, you are still too young and unaware of the wickedness of people's hearts. You have stepped into the gates of my Xuanyuan family tonight, but it won't be so easy for you to leave unscathed."

Xuanyuan Jing was worried that Su Qianqian would be bullied, so he quickly stood in front of her.

"Mother, Miss Su helped Third Sister heal her face; she is a benefactor of our Xuanyuan family. Treating a benefactor like this will bring divine retribution."

Zhou laughed even louder: "Haha, divine retribution? I'm not afraid. Since ancient times, good people don't live long, while evil people live for thousands of years. I'm the evil person who can live for a thousand years."

From a young age, her parents repeatedly warned her not to ruin her life.

But she continued down the path of self-destruction with increasing ease, eventually becoming the matriarch of one of the five great families.

Madam Zhou angrily rebuked the servants, "What are you waiting for? Get up here now!"

Xuanyuan Mirror was pulled aside and held down by two rough-looking old women.

Several male servants rushed into the house, wielding iron bars, and swung them at Su Qianqian with force, almost touching her.

Xuanyuan Jing wanted to help, but the old woman controlled her, so she could only close her eyes and dare not look.

The servants thought the young girl in front of them would be easy to deal with, but Su Qianqian snatched the iron rod from one of them and swept it out, knocking them all to the ground.

The action was so fast that even the servants of the Xuanyuan Mansion didn't have time to react.

One of the servants was struck on the knee by an iron rod, and felt as if his leg was completely broken, letting out a scream of "Ah—".

After all four servants fell, Su Qianqian simply bent the iron rod in her hand with a flick of her wrist and threw it in front of Zhou Shi.

"So? Do you still want my secret recipe now?"

Mrs. Zhou was very surprised, and her smile froze on her face.

The imperial court forbids aristocratic families from carrying knives, so this iron rod is a common weapon of the Xuanyuan family. The entire Xuanyuan family has thousands of martial artists, but none of them can bend this iron rod.

The little girl in front of me looked quite delicate, but I never expected her to bend the iron rod with a simple flick of her wrist. What a terrifying creature she is! I really underestimated this girl.

What to do now? I feel like I'm in a bind.

When Old Madam Xuanyuan was helped in, she noticed that the atmosphere was somewhat awkward.

She only went to the outhouse, so why did things get so tense inside?

"What happened? What's going on?"

Su Qianqian pointed to the bent iron rod on the ground and said, "You'll have to ask your good daughter-in-law about that. I kindly treated Xuan Yuan Yue's face, but she insisted on buying my formula and offered an exorbitant price of one hundred taels of silver."

Madam Xuanyuan stared blankly at the bent iron rod on the ground, which had been bent into a U-shape.

Even the most skilled martial artist in the Xuanyuan Manor did not possess such strength.

What did this little girl eat to grow up like that? Her strength is so great, is this what they call superhuman strength?

This little girl is simply a darling of the heavens.

Madam Xuanyuan felt a headache coming on. She pinched her brow and looked at Zhou, the one who started it all.

What infuriates me most is this brainless daughter-in-law. She didn't even assess the other party's strength before daring to cause trouble for that young girl, and in the end, she only brought trouble upon herself.

What a useless piece of trash. Anyone with a brain wouldn't do something so stupid.

It was precisely because she feared that Xuanyuan Jing would be raised by Zhou Shi to be petty and narrow-minded that she took Xuanyuan Jing into her own care and raised him.

"Zhou, you go and kneel down in the courtyard. You're not allowed to get up until dawn tomorrow."

Filial piety is of paramount importance. Although Zhou had complaints, she still obediently knelt down in the courtyard in front of so many people.

She rarely kneels, and as soon as she did, she felt overwhelmed.

The stone ground is still quite cool in spring, and it will get even cooler at night.

Zhou's fingernails dug deep into her palms, drawing blood. This old hag was truly ruthless, making her kneel all night.

Zhou cursed silently in her heart, hoping that the old lady would pass away soon, so that she could be the one in charge of the entire Xuanyuan family.

Madam Xuanyuan was shrewd and knew that Xuanyuan Yue's face still needed Miss Su's medicinal powder to treat it.

For the Xuanyuan family at present, the marriage alliance with the Murong family is the most important thing, and the most important thing is that Yueya can marry into the Murong family safely.

Madam Xuanyuan lowered her noble head. "Miss Su, I apologize. I apologize to you personally. It is all my fault for not disciplining my daughter-in-law, Zhou, properly. Please forgive her."

The old lady of the Xuanyuan family had someone bring over a silver note worth five thousand taels.

"Here's a silver note to you, to help you calm your nerves. Miss Su, please feel free to make any other requests. Our Xuanyuan family will do our best to fulfill them. We only hope that Miss Su can continue to treat Yue'er's face."

Su Qianqian had been waiting for these words; it seemed that tonight's bet was settled.

It was getting late, so Su Qianqian got straight to the point.

"To be honest, His Majesty invited me and the five great families to a banquet mainly to discuss the donation of silver. My request is that the Xuanyuan family attend the palace banquet and donate 80,000 taels of silver in exchange for me treating Xuanyuan Yue's face."

The old lady smiled. Buying Yue'er's face for 80,000 taels was a very worthwhile deal.

If she were an ordinary family's daughter, her face certainly wouldn't be worth this much money.

But the legitimate daughter of the Xuanyuan family is worth more than that.

Right now, Yue is extremely important to the Xuanyuan family. She is a bargaining chip used to form a marriage alliance with the Murong family. Let alone 80,000 taels, even 100,000 or 200,000 taels would be worth it.

This sum of money is just a drop in the ocean for the Xuanyuan family.

Madam Xuanyuan readily agreed: "Alright, I'll grant Miss Su's request. It's just a meal, isn't it? Although I've already eaten, Jing'er hasn't. I'll take Jing'er to the palace for a good meal."

Knowing that Jingya also wanted this whitening and blemish-removing powder, Madam Xuanyuan brought Jingya along, hoping that Jingya and Miss Su could get along well so that Jingya could also get what she wanted.

A win-win situation, how wonderful!

With these words from Old Madam Xuanyuan, Su Qianqian felt relieved.

She took out two small white porcelain jars and gave one to each of Xuanyuan Yue and Xuanyuan Jing.

He also divided the spiritual spring water from the water bag into two small bottles and gave them to the two of them.

"This liquid isn't ordinary water; it's a specially formulated essence. You must use this essence to mix the medicinal powder to maximize its effectiveness. The method of use is very simple: apply it to your face for the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, then wash it off."

This action earned the old lady of the Xuanyuan family a thousand thumbs up.

Unexpectedly, Miss Su was so clever that she knew what Jing was thinking and sent her a gift as well.

This little girl is truly exceptionally intelligent!

Xuanyuan Jing carefully carried the powder and essence back to his room and told the maid to watch over them. "These are such expensive things, please take good care of them and don't lose them. I'll use them after I come back from the palace banquet."

Wow, how lucky! My third sister only used this powder once and her skin became much fairer.

Her skin was fairly smooth, just not fair enough.

With this powder, will she also have fair skin like Miss Su?

I'm so excited just thinking about it.

Knowing that Miss Su was in a hurry, Xuanyuan Jing quickly ran to the waiting room after instructing the maid.
