My Father in Law is Lu Bu Chapter 485

Chapter 485

“I want to buy these for the Lady!” Xiao Cui looked at the cosmetics chosen for her excitedly. There were not many in left in Liu Mang’s possessions.

“Miss. These cosmetics cannot be used randomly.” Liu Mang purposefully warned. “These are all made from plants. To some, their effects may be miraculous. However, it could also be poison to others.” It was the truth that these cosmetic products could actually harm someone’s skin if it was not suitable for them.

Xiao Cui was frightened by his words and quickly covered her mouth.

“That is why if you want to buy these for your Lady, you will need to allow us to see what type of skin she has.” Liu Mang said with the intention of meeting Lady Cai.

“You want to meet the Lady?” Xiao Cui hesitated as she did not know the ident.i.ty of these three individuals. Seeing this, Liu Mang tried to persuade her even more.

“Miss. We already said that we got this from the West. It is not cheap.”

“Are you saying I do not have enough money?” Xiao Cui felt indignant. She called for the driver and to bring her bag of gold over.

“Haha. Do you know what the ingredients of this vanishing cream are?”

“The snow lotus from Tianshan and morning dew.” Xiao Cui replied.

“That’s right. This one small bottle itself uses two snow lotus! I am sure you know the price of just one of those. On top of that, there is also the morning dew.”

A good snow lotus was worth at least a hundred gold each while the smaller ones were at least ten gold each.

“How much is this bottle?”

“I will give you some face and sell it to you cheap. It would be twenty gold.”

“Twenty gold!? You might as well go and rob people!” The driver commented after hearing this figure. Twenty gold might not be too expensive by itself but it was ridiculously overpriced for cosmetics.

“Haha! This twenty gold is just the manufacturing cost. We haven’t included the fact that he have to import this from the West.” Liu Mang lightly replied.

“What about this flower essence?” Xiao Cui asked about the shampoo.

“This is slightly cheaper. The cost is fifteen gold!” Liu Mang then proceeded to tell Xiao Cui the price of everything she chose. The total was a hundred gold. How could Xiao Cui afford it?

Liu Mang looked at her with satisfaction when he saw her biting her lips in hesitation. This was what he wanted. For Lady Cai, this would not be too much. She could probably even afford to throw away a thousand gold. However, all of Xiao Cui’s savings up until now still wouldn’t be able to add up to a hundred gold.

“If you are willing to let us meet Lady Cai, I will give all this to you for free.” Liu Mang said as he pushed out everything Xiao Cui had selected to her.

“Why do you want to see the Lady?” Xiao Cui remained vigilant even though she was attracted by the offer.

“Haha. Didn’t we already explain earlier? We came from the West. Naturally, we are here to do business for a long time. We intend to sell these cosmetics but they are expensive. We are also the only ones with these products.” Liu Mang explained.

Xiao Cui looked at Liu Mang. The cheapest thing he had was ten gold. It was at the price where even some n.o.bles would not be able to afford it.

“That is why we want to meet the Lady. Besides selling these to her, we also want help us advertise this product so that we would be able to sell it.”

“This is…” Xiao Cui was tempted. She has worked for Lady Cai for a long time and knew her well. She knew of Lady Cai’s worries and she knew that these cosmetics from the West could help her.

“We won’t make things difficult for you. Whether Lady Cai is willing to a.s.sist us will be our problem. We just need you to take us to Lady Cai. If you do that, we will give you these.” Liu Mang tried to tempt her with the cosmetics again.

Xiao Cui was no longer able to resist the temptation and finally agreed. “I can bring you in but whether she agrees to meet you or not would depend on her mood. I cannot do anything more.”

“Of course.” Liu Mang nodded.

“Then please get on the carriage.” Xiao Cui nodded. She was not afraid that Liu Mang’s group might be swindlers. If Liu Mang tried anything at Lady Cai’s residence, they would not be able to escape.

“Miss. We have our own carriage.”

“Then just follow us.” Xiao Cui replied and got on her carriage.

“Miss! Please wait. These are for you!” Liu Mang called out to Xiao Cui and gave her the cosmetics.

“You are giving it to me now? Are you not afraid that I would go back on my word?”

“Haha. When your cosmetics run out, you will definitely come and find me!” Liu Mang laughed.

“How unscrupulous!” Xiao Cui laughed back. The two carriage then set out on their journey.
