The Substitute Madam Amazes the World Once More

Chapter 128: Facial Mask

Chen Man shook Mo Zhu’s hand happily and replied happily, “Xiao Zhu, it’s been hard on you to marry Huo Xuan. These are jewelry that Auntie had specially customized for you to wear tonight. Hurry up and see if you like it.”

After a pause, as if she had thought of something, the woman added, “It had been too rushed. I had roughly customized the jewelry according to the dress you had tried on the previous time. If you like them, there’s still a long time. I will make more for you and send it here!”

After Chen Man finished speaking, without batting an eyelid, Mo Zhu’s eyes turned red. Since she was young, she had never felt the concern and love of an elder who is of this age. It would be a lie to say that she was not touched. All along, other than her grandmother whom she had relied on, she did not expect that there would be an elder who truly cared and loved her in this world.

Mo Zhu held back the lump in her throat and nodded. She quietly turned around and calmed herself down. Thinking of the storm in the beauty salon just now, she frowned and said to Chen Man softly, “Auntie, don’t go to such a beauty salon like today in the future. I have a better way for you to maintain your skin!”

Just as she finished speaking, Mo Zhu let go of Chen Man’s hand and walked straight upstairs. There was a series of banging sounds, and in a few minutes, she came downstairs with a few bags and a small bottle.

After sitting back down beside Chen Man, Mo Zhu stuffed the bottle in her hand to Chen Man and said, “Auntie, this is a pill that my good friend had developed to resist aging and nourish our cells. Take one pill a week from now on. I guarantee that you will be a few years younger in just a month!”

Chen Man was surprised and asked in disbelief, “Xiao Zhu, is this really as amazing as you say? Is your friend reliable?”

Mo Zhu smiled faintly and replied to Chen Man with a firm tone, “He’s quite reliable. Auntie, his medical skills are higher than mine. This bottle should be enough for you to take for half a year. When you’re almost done, tell me in time. I’ll send a message to my friend and ask him to refine a few more bottles for me.”

Nodding her head, Chen Man put the small bottle into her handbag in disbelief. Besides the bottle, Mo Zhu had also brought down some small bags. She asked curiously, “What are these, Xiao Zhu?”

Mo Zhu did not speak. She turned around and walked to the washroom and casually chose a small clean bottle. She opened a few small bags in front of Chen Man and took out a spoonful of powder from each of the bags. Before long, the colorful powder was evenly mixed into the bottle by Mo Zhu.

It was only at this moment that Chen Man saw the hidden secrets in the small bags. Although these few small bags looked ordinary from the outside, when she opened it and looked inside, there was actually a thick layer of aluminum blocking the light out.

After pouring a glass of water into the bottle, Mo Zhu stirred the powder in it and explained to Chen Man, “Auntie, in the bag are some herbs that I had carefully selected and ground. If you mix them together according to my technique and dosage just now, you can make a bottle full of mud masks according to the ratio.”

“You can use this facial mask before bed as well. You can use it two to three times a week, and apply it for 15 minutes each time. Together with the pill I gave you just now, the nourishing and skin care effect of these will be simply amazing!”

After saying this, Mo Zhu raised her hand and handed the bottle she had just stirred to Chen Man. She had a smile on her face as if she was waiting for the woman to try it on.

Chen Man nodded at the girl’s words. She took the small can and smelled it. Apart from the faint smell of Chinese medicine, she could not smell anything else.

Although the production process of this facial mask that Mo Zhu called highly effective was very sloppy and the mask did not seem to be very useful, in order not to disappoint the girl, Chen Man still went and put on the facial mask evenly on her face.

Mo Zhu was helping Chen Man to time and she instructed Chen Man to wash her face as soon as 15 minutes had passed.

Following Mo Zhu’s instructions, Chen Man gently bent down and used water from the sink to wash her face. She recalled the gentle feeling of the mask on her face just now and secretly thought that this mask might really be as useful as her daughter-in-law had said!

As she thought about this, Chen Man opened her eyes after washing her face and stared at herself in the mirror in front of the sink.

She was getting old. No matter how expensive the skincare products were and how much effort she had spent to take care of herself, she could not control her gradually darkening skin tone. It could not cure the fine wrinkles on the corners of her eyes and face. Hence, if she wanted to determine whether a product was good or not, she could determine the effect by observing the color of the spots and the extent of the wrinkles on her face.

She did not expect what she saw in the mirror’s reflection and she was really shocked by it. Chen Man stared at her reflection in the mirror in disbelief. More than half of the dimness on her face had lit up. Even the fine lines that had appeared at the corners of her eyes recently had faded quite a bit.

Without bothering to wipe the water droplets off her face, Chen Man ran straight back to the living room in excitement. She hugged Mo Zhu and said with a trembling voice, “Xiao Zhu! I didn’t expect this mask to be as useful as you made it out to be. Not only has my skin tone brightened by more than one degree, the fine lines on my face have even faded!”
