As soon as she said this, the old woman’s tears immediately began to fall pitifully: "That set of rouge and lipstick costs at least one hundred taels of silver. Even if I scrimp and save for decades, I can’t save up that much silver! Isn’t this forcing me to jump into the lake!" 𝒻𝑟𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝑛𝘰𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝘤𝘰𝘮

Lin Shuang rolled her eyes inwardly, thinking, with you selling fake goods and ruining the beauty of so many innocent girls, jumping into the lake would be letting you off easy!

She quietly gave Zhao Hongyan a look, and the honest and loyal Brother Daniu immediately sprang into action.

"Madam, since Bright Moon Tower won’t exchange the color for you and wants you to buy a new one, why not sell the wrong one to someone else? This way, you could at least get back some of the silver!"

The old woman took the opportunity to wipe her tears, unable to resist curling her lips secretly; this naïve boy indeed took the bait. She said all this to lure them in!

Even though the old woman tried to cover her smile, Lin Shuang, being clever, saw right through her.

She nodded quietly, "Madam, what kind did you buy? Can I take a look?"

The old woman eagerly nodded, joyfully taking out a small cloth bundle from her bosom. Before opening it, she cautiously glanced around to ensure no one was passing by, then carefully revealed three or four layers of brocade cloth to show the rouge and lipstick inside.

As soon as Lin Shuang saw the rouge and lipstick, her eyes lit up.

Indeed, they were fakes!

And they were very realistic fakes!

If she hadn’t contacted the boss of Bright Moon Tower before setting out today and thoroughly examined the genuine products, she might have been deceived by these counterfeits!

Lowering her eyes slightly to hide her anger, Lin Shuang excitedly exclaimed, "Ah! Isn’t this the set of rouge and lipstick I just saw? This lipstick is especially sweet and fragrant, tasting just like a banana!"

"Yes, yes, exactly this one!"

The old woman, with a flattering smile, sneered inwardly. Only this ugly and stupid bumpkin would think to eat lipstick!

"Girl, I approached you with a ’just-giving-it-a-try’ attitude, and since this rouge is to your liking, please have mercy and buy this set from me, pitying this poor old woman!"

Finally, she said it!

Hua Hua immediately jumped in, eager and looking at Brother Daniu: "Brother Daniu, why don’t we just take it?"

Brother Daniu rubbed his purse, hesitated for a moment, and then looked at the old woman: "You must have seen that I only have sixty taels of silver left. However, we need to hire a carriage back to the countryside, so I can only give you fifty taels at most. If you agree, I’ll help you out of kindness. If you think it’s too little, find another buyer!"

Another buyer? How likely is it to find buyers as foolish as you two?

The old woman scoffed internally. She had been waiting at Bright Moon Tower for three days to find such a gullible pair, eavesdropping on their whispers in the alley before daring to appear and sell her fake goods.

She wasn’t sure how many more days it would take to find the next target!

"Fifty taels it is!"

Though a bit pained, the old woman stuffed the goods into Hua Hua’s hands: "My old friends helped me cobble together some silver before, and taking out my own coffin savings should be enough to buy a new set of rouge for the young lady."

With the freshly acquired rouge, Hua Hua beamed with delight.

Brother Daniu also handed over the silver to the old woman without hesitation. While receiving the silver, the old woman couldn’t help but sigh: "Oh, who can I blame but myself for doing such a foolish thing! Once I finish this task, I’ll tell the old lady I’m going back to the countryside to take care of my grandchildren! It’ll save me from doing this thankless job!"

The old woman rambled on and even offered blessing words to the soon-to-be-married couple.

"Girl, though you’re, uh, not much to look at, you’re blessed with good fortune to find a man who loves you! Cherish him!"

"Young man, well, you’re really putting up with a lot! Alas, what a pity!"

After saying this, the old woman left the alley with her silver, soon disappearing from sight.
