Chapter 73 Before and After
There is no woman who doesn't love beauty. Even someone like Xu Fang, who has been taking care of her husband and children for more than 20 years, still has a desire for beauty deep in her heart.

Especially in the past two days, because of the family variety show, Xu Fang came into contact with Wen Ya for the first time, who was of the same age as herself but looked like a girl in her twenties. Her desire for "beauty" was awakened again and again.

Xu Fang felt a little emotional, it turns out that there is such a possibility in life.

Ji Chenxing and Ji Xueqing were held arm in arm by Wen Ya and walked into the store.

Xu Fang thought about it and followed in. Even if she didn't do any beauty treatments, it would be good to take a look.

Qi Ziyan didn't want Xu Fang to follow him in, but he didn't dare to stop Xu Fang desperately because he was in front of the camera. After hinting to Xu Fang with his eyes to no avail, Qi Ziyan could only follow Xu Fang in.

Because of the Ancient Culture Festival, the beauty salon also bought a lot of cost-effective items from Ji Huaiyu. As a result, the owner and Ji Huaiyu became friends.

Ji Huaiyu had already informed the store, so as soon as Wen Ya arrived, she enjoyed the most sincere service.

Just as the last guest left, the staff had prepared the bed for Wen Ya as soon as she entered the room.

Ji Chenxing didn't lie down quickly, but looked around.

When Ji Chenxing was fighting in other regions in his previous life, he had also heard many rumors about how women should maintain their beauty.

There is a legend that there are some secret recipes for maintenance in Qinlou and Chuguan, which are usually some kind of decoctions. Drinking them on a daily basis can have the effect of beautifying and nourishing the skin.

There are also prescriptions handed down by the ladies in the palace, including medicinal baths, jade creams applied on the face, and motherwort and white fungus soups for daily care.

Ji Chenxing followed the army on the march and went far away. When the army stopped to set up camp, Ji Chenxing could not help, so he just made some tea and watched from the side.

Sometimes Ji Zunxing felt annoyed that she was idle and got angry when he saw her. He would drive her out of the tent, regardless of her life or death, and let her wander around the surrounding cities by herself.

Fortunately, Ji Chenxing was good-looking, eloquent, and kind-hearted. Over the past few days, not only did he not die as Ji Zunxing wished, but he met all kinds of people and found out many interesting things.

It also includes an ancient recipe for removing acne and rejuvenating the skin that works incredibly fast.

Apply the medicinal herbs in the ancient recipe on your face, and all the acne on your face will disappear in just one night.

This recipe cannot guarantee that you will not get acne again in the future, but it is very effective for emergency use.

Unlike in ancient times, there are no herbal prescriptions in today's beauty salons, but instead there are some mechanical facilities.

Wen Ya greeted the familiar beauty teacher, told her some requirements, and then lay down on the recliner.

Ji Xueqing also pulled Ji Chenxing to lie down.

Wen Ya spoke a few words to the beauty salon staff, and the staff pulled Xu Fang, who was watching, to a chair.

Xu Fang was terrified and waved her hands quickly, "I... I'm not doing this. I'm just waiting for them. I don't have any money with me today."

Qi Ziyan also hurried over to stop them, "We are here just to take a look today, don't try to persuade me, I won't spend a penny with you."

The staff was amused by Xu Fang's simplicity and ignored Qi Ziyan. "Sister, just lie here. You don't have to pay. The sister over there has already paid in advance."

Xu Fang turned her head and saw Wen Ya waving at her not far away.

"Sister Xu, please take a seat. I just wanted to ask you to help me cook a few dishes tomorrow. Today, I'll just say thank you and give you a simple cleansing and hydrating treatment. It won't cost a lot of money, so don't worry."

Hearing this, Xu Fang nodded, and with the help of the staff, he lay down on the chair somewhat at a loss, "Okay, okay, thank you sister Yaya."

There were five people in the group, and except Qi Ziyan, the other four women were lying on the recliners.

In order to welcome Wen Ya, the beauty salon put a few more chairs in today. After the four people lay down on them, there was just one empty recliner left.

Qi Ziyan was carrying the dishes, feeling a little awkward. After a pause, he also lay down on the chair.

Wen Ya and the others had already closed their eyes and did not see Qi Ziyan in the distance. In the live broadcast room, the comment section was full of “?”.

[I saw that right, what’s wrong with Qi Ziyan? Why is he lying down?]

[Just now he was the one who stopped Aunt Xu, saying he didn't have money and didn't want to do it, why is he lying down now? ]

[Maybe I heard that the money here has been prepaid]

[I don’t know about other things, but he is always the one who takes advantage of others]

[We still don’t know the composition of Qi Ziyan]

In ancient times, Shen Ruyan had just left the general's mansion.

This time, she did not take the expensive carriage in the general's mansion, but found a corner of the street and got on a very simple vehicle.

Today, her target is Jun Jingrui's Prince's Mansion.

The carriage moved slowly, and Shen Ruyan became a little anxious.

Just yesterday she received a letter from her parents' home saying that two people had died in the family in succession, one a day, as if someone had done it on purpose.

But the problem is that although the Shen family is engaged in business, in order to ensure that Shen Ruyan, the general's wife, can maintain her position securely, the Shen family never dares to do anything excessive, especially not to make enemies.

In this case, if someone attacks the Shen family, it is very likely that this person is Shen Ruyan's enemy.

The reason why the Shen family wrote this letter to Shen Ruyan was that they hoped Shen Ruyan would check for herself to see if she had offended anyone and resolve the matter quickly to avoid damaging the foundation of the Shen family.

Shen Ruyan thought about it and immediately set her sights on Crown Prince Jun Jingrui.

the reason is simple.

Shen Ruyan is the daughter of a merchant and her status is lower than that of daughters of officials. Over the years, Shen Ruyan has made a lot of efforts to be a good general's wife.

She was patient and dormant, just like the Shen family. At least on the surface, she had never made any enemies for herself.

For example, although she hated Ji Chenxing, she had never dared to lay a hand on Ji Chenxing in the past eighteen years, for fear that she would do something unclean and not only hurt Ji Chenxing's foundation, but also leave some evidence behind.

It is precisely for this reason that Ji Chenxing, who is not often at home, has always trusted her very much over the years.

But as vicious as Shen Ruyan was, how could she resist the urge to kill Ji Chenxing when he immediately snatched away her own daughter's lover?
So at the last critical moment before Ji Chenxing's marriage, Shen Ruyan took advantage of Ji Chenxing's trust in her and teamed up with Jun Jingrui to catch Ji Chenxing off guard.

She won.

Unfortunately, after Ji Chenxing died, things turned out to be completely different from what she had expected.

Ji Zunxing was demoted for unknown reasons; Jun Jingrui had originally agreed to be with Ji Xueyao, but for unknown reasons he suddenly withdrew the engagement letter, and it seemed that he had no intention of having any further dealings with the General's Mansion.

This also made Shen Ruyan conclude that Jun Jingrui must be the mastermind behind the massacre of the Shen family.

Although Ji Chenxing is dead, she is not completely dead. She is now in another world, living a complete and happy life with her new family.

Whenever Shen Ruyan thought of this, her teeth ached with anger.

These past few days, Shen Ruyan appeared calm on the surface, but she was paying close attention to the direction of events all the time and was very alert in her heart.

The Prince’s Mansion is almost here.
