“”Any handsome men here who wish to woo and cherish her? This is the perfect opportunity to swoop in while she is vulnerable. Now’s the time to make your move.” Su Qingyue said this, and everyone laughed.

“I didn’t expect the wife of the Xiao Family to have such a sense of humor. I heard Old Scholar Huang taught you how to read. People who are literate are different, they speak more eloquently,” Ding Er looked at Su Qingyue. “Even if you are a bit ugly… I asked Chuan last time if he dared to kiss those chapped lips of yours…”

“You actually asked Chuan that?”

“Yes. Wife of the Xiao Family, has Chuan kissed you? Does he dare to?” Ding Er was quite curious.

Everyone craned their necks, waiting for her answer.

Seeing that none of them had any interest in her medicinal mud toothpaste, and instead were engrossed in the gossip, Su Qingyue, who had initially confidently denied being a fraud, began to spin her lies. “Aunt Qi Wang said my mouth stinks, Ding Er says my mouth stinks. Ji Shanzao’s older brother, Shi Cai, was repelled by the odor of my mouth. This is an undeniable truth! I was this horrible, this disgusting, but that wasn’t now, it was before. But, look now…”

She held up her slender index finger, making a circular gesture around the crowd, “Everyone’s standing so close to me. Did anyone notice my bad breath? Has anyone been repelled half a meter or even half a step now?”

She spread her hands out, “No, right? That proves that my mouth was once foul enough to make people almost faint, but now it is absolutely odor-free.”

“Really…” People nearby started sniffing curiously. A few said, “The wife of the Xiao Family really doesn’t smell bad anymore.”

Li Cai also sniffed her at close range, “Not only does it not stink, it even seems to have a faint fragrance…”

“Oh dear, Li Cai, don’t stand so close to other people’s wives. Anyone who doesn’t know better will think that you’ve got your sights set on her.” Ding Er teased.

Li Cai retorted, “Nonsense! I would never fancy someone with Su Qingyue’s looks.”

“Don’t worry, Li family’s second son.” Su Qingyue knew that he was the younger brother of the man who’d admitted to liking her, Li Gui, so naturally, she knew his name, “I’m not interested in you either.”

“Is that so? Playing hard to get, are we? The woman that the men of Li family would marry will be at least ten times prettier than you,” Li Cai proclaimed confidently, oblivious to the fact that his brother was already planning to spend fifty taels to marry Qingyue.

Su Qingyue wouldn’t reveal that Li Gui had professed his liking for her. And no matter how much he said his future wife would be ten times prettier, his brother was smitten with her despite her supposed ugliness. “Who your wife will be doesn’t concern me. The reason my breath doesn’t stink anymore is because of a unique prescription I found in the medical books Old Scholar Huang left me. It said that it could keep one’s teeth clean and, with long-term use, make them white. But the ingredients for this prescription aren’t cheap. Many of you know that my second brother recently had a couple of good hunts, and a significant portion of the earnings were spent on this jar of medicine. This jar of medicinal mud weighs several taels!”

Blatantly lying with eyes wide open, her expression didn’t change. As long as they didn’t know where she had actually spent her money, hyping the value of this worthless medicinal mud as a luxury item was just a marketing tactic.

“Such an expensive medicine…and it’s black…” Everyone came closer again to observe the medicine in the jar.

With a grin, Su Qingyue revealed her teeth. “Come on, take a look at my teeth. Aren’t they much cleaner and whiter than they used to be? It’s still far from being very white, but that’s because I’ve only used this medicinal mud toothpaste for a few days..”
