Chapter 67: The Origin of the Birthmark

A touch of disgust flashed in Xu Jinian's eyes.

"Does this place really have the whitening cream you said?" After seeing this environment, Xu Jinian wondered if Tao Ruyi had been deceived.

"I've inquired, there is only this Zhu Ji rouge shop in Qinghe Town, it shouldn't be wrong." Tao Ruyi whispered a defense.

The two stepped into the store, and the shopkeeper immediately cheered up and stepped forward to greet them.

Shen Qiushui, who was originally going to enter the backyard, stopped because he turned his head to look at the two of them.

For some reason, she always felt that the man at the door was a little familiar, but she couldn't remember who the other party was.

After a pause, the woman at the doorway pointed towards her.

"You are a big man who knows what rouge gouache, and I asked her to introduce it to me." Tao Ruyi stretched out his slender jade hand and pointed at Shen Qiushui.

Shen Qiushui was wearing a coarse cloth dress, and there were a few mufflers around his waist.

Obviously, she recognized Shen Qiushui as a subordinate in the store.

Shen Qiushui didn't mind, and glanced at the shopkeeper.

The shopkeeper understands in two seconds, and immediately gets out of the way.

Shen Qiushui stepped forward and showed a smile: "The girl is here to buy whitening cream?" ”

"Hmm." Tao Ruyi glanced at Shen Qiushui's eyes, "Do you have any other good things in your shop besides whitening cream?" Bring them all to me and see. ”

Tao Ruyi said softly, if you listen carefully, you can hear the disdain in her tone.

Shen Qiushui frowned, but didn't say anything, but asked the shopkeeper to go to the backyard to bring another box of whitening cream.

Seeing that Tao Ruyi was not interested in looking at other items, Shen Qiushui did not speak again, but stood in place and waited quietly for the arrival of the shopkeeper.

During this period, Shen Qiushui looked at the man beside Tao Ruyi quietly.

Why did she think this man looked familiar? Could it be someone who knew him from the beginning?

But the memory she inherited did not contain the existence of this person.

The masculinity in front of him was extraordinary, dressed in cyan satin and wearing a jade crown, looking at her with alienation in his eyes.

It's not like knowing the original body.

Shen Qiushui only thought that this inexplicable familiarity was her own illusion, and she lowered her eyes and didn't think much about it.

When the shopkeeper came back, she raised her eyes again, but she met the man's gaze.

Yu Guang also noticed the dissatisfaction of the eyes around the man for her.

"This is whitening cream, I wonder how many boxes this young lady wants to buy?" Shen Qiushui staggered his gaze from the man, and instead sold the whitening cream to Tao Ruyi.

Seeing the whitening cream in his heart, Tao Ruyi stepped forward with lotus steps, picked for a while, and took four boxes to settle the bill.

In the past, Xu Jinian had to rush to pay, but now the other party has not moved.

Tao Ruyi showed an aggrieved look and looked up at him, but he didn't get a reaction, but saw that the other party was staring at Shen Qiushui.

The man next to her stared at a slut woman all the time, where was she still in the mood to buy things, and at the moment she just wanted Shen Qiushui to get out of the way.

Forget about being ugly and ugly, and scratching your head and making a gesture to attract people.

Tao Ruyi scolded viciously in his heart.

She squeezed the whitening cream box in her hand so hard that her knuckles turned white.

Angrily went to pay the money, Tao Ruyi came to Xu Jinian's side.

"Xu Gongzi, I've bought it, let's go." Tao Ruyi suppressed the displeasure in his heart, and his voice was gentle and gentle, mixed with a little bit of dissatisfaction.

"Ah, sorry, I was distracted." Xu Jinian came back to his senses, stroked his forehead, and said with a little apology in his tone. Thinking that he had promised to accompany the other party to go shopping, he said again: "Don't you want to see it again?" ”

Tao Ruyi shook his head slightly.

Where does she dare to stay any longer, if she stays any longer, someone will be hooked away.

Xu Jinian was keenly aware that Tao Ruyi was unhappy, but he didn't know the reason, so he could only follow her.

Out of the shop, Tao Ruyi moved closer to Xu Jinian, slipped under his feet, and instantly crashed into the other party's arms.

Xu Jinian's hand was quick to hug Tao Ruyi.

"Yes, I'm sorry, I accidentally ......" Tao Ruyi hurriedly pushed the other party away and ran away, tears welled up, and tears like pearls clearly crossed the corners of his eyes.

The beauty cried, Xu Jinian was distressed, and grabbed Tao Ruyi's wrist.

Tao Ruyi tried hard to break away from Xu Jinian's hands, but her strength was so small that even the other party's hand couldn't shake.

"Miss Tao, what's wrong with you, if there is something Xu didn't do well, please tell me directly."

"Xu Gongzi has been staring at the woman who is just now, but has he taken a fancy to her?" Tao Ruyi cried, and at this time, he still spoke gently and gently.

Xu Jinian didn't understand what the other party meant for a while, and subconsciously replied: "What nonsense are you talking about?" ”

As soon as the words were spoken, they immediately came back to their senses.

"Miss Tao is jealous?"

As soon as these words came out, Tao Ruyi immediately stopped struggling, a touch of shame floated across his face with tears, and he bit his lower lip tightly.

Seeing her appearance, Xu Jinian knew that he had guessed correctly.

"How could I look at her, I just thought that the birthmark on the woman's face was a little strange, and I looked at it a few more times." Xu Jinian explained, where Tao Ruyi couldn't see, his hanging eyes flashed.

His explanation is half-truthful.

Staring at the birthmark is not what he says, but knowing the source of the birthmark.

No, this shouldn't be called a birthmark, but a poisonous spot, which as far as he knew, was only found in the Imperial City.

This poison needs to be introduced when the woman is pregnant, and the poison is continuously injected for a month, so that the child becomes stillborn in the womb without being detected, and after birth, the body will produce poisonous spots and be ugly.

To his surprise, someone could survive the poison spots.

Novelty, really novelty.

Shen Qiushui was just an episode for Xu Jinian, although he was curious, he didn't have the idea of investigating Shen Qiushui's background.

In the rouge shop, Shen Qiushui looked at the back of the two leaving, his brows furrowed slightly.

She didn't like the man's gaze, that look, as if she were some kind of freak.

Shen Qiu subconsciously touched the birthmark on the corner of his forehead, and couldn't help but have doubts in his heart:

Is it really that ugly?

Shen Qiushui shook her head, suppressed the unhappiness in her heart, and thought that when she got home, she would take a good look at it with the bronze mirror, and the bronze mirror would be pressed to the bottom of the box when she took it home.

Zhu Zi'an walked in from outside the door.

is still the golden appearance, and the small gold abacus pinned to his waist is his most distinctive symbol.

If it weren't for the bright yellow color that could only be worn by the emperor, Zhu Zi'an was afraid that he would wear gold.

"Guess who I saw?" Zhu Zi'an walked into the store, and the first thing he saw was Shen Qiushui.

Shen Qiushui shook his head.

"It's really strange that the son of the prime minister's family would appear in our town, and he would be accompanied by a woman."

Zhu Zi'an sighed.

Somehow, Shen Qiushui's mind came up with the figure of a man who had just left.
