Chapter 185 Cannot Be Delayed
They exuded a faint scent of herbs, "This is the beauty care powder and beauty care cream that I’ve refined from ancient recipes and personally concocted. With continuous use over the years, it can restore skin to a snowy whiteness and softness, and those pesky fine lines will quietly fade away. Madam, you are in the prime of your life, a little care will only make you more radiant."
"Of course, if the Old Lady is interested, this beauty care technique is equally applicable to you, allowing the years to leave more grace than traces on you."
There was a hint of humor in Su Yu’s words, which made the Old Lady cover her mouth and chuckle, her eyes twinkling with a few playful glints.
"My old bones, the flower-like beauty of yesteryear has long since faded with time, and now I only wish for good health. Leave those youthful trifles to girls in the prime of their youth like Qingshu."
"You are too modest, Old Lady. It is only sickness that has dimmed your luster, but having not seen you in over twenty days, you look vibrant and healthy, seeming almost a decade younger. Although my beauty care cream has its marvels, your ability to recover is truly admirable. This cream is made from the leaves of persimmons harvested in early autumn, carefully prepared. Applying it gently to the face before sleep every night, I believe it won’t be long until you become the most dazzling among your peers."
Young Master Tutor’s wife gently echoed on the side, her words full of love and respect for her mother, "Mom, you are naturally beautiful, and the years of illness have caused you undue hardship, but looking at you now, you truly seem much younger. You may as well try the generosity of Doctor Su, and I assure you, your grace will remain as it was."
The Old Lady was surrounded by the warmth of the room, her heart nearly brimming with joy as she agreed repeatedly, her eyes sparkling with new expectancy for life.
"Yes, yes, yes, all you say is true. I am willing to try, to follow your arrangements."
After all, the desire for beauty is inherent in all, even an Old Lady who has experienced the world, and who, despite having teetered on the brink of life and death, no longer pursues the external as fervently. Yet faced with an opportunity to enhance her charm, the joy and anticipation is irrepressible.
