Chapter 738 Hidden secrets
Although the girl was pale and thin due to long-term malnutrition and dressed in shabby clothes, there was a hidden air of nobility in her bone structure!
This is definitely not the appearance of an ordinary farming family.

What bothered Tang Wan even more was that a faint yet extremely stubborn aura of decay lingered around Wang Xiaohua's forehead.

Wang Xiaohua felt flustered under Tang Wan's gaze, and quickly lowered her head again, her voice barely audible: "Thank you so much for taking in my brother and me, Xiaohua, Xiaohua is extremely grateful."

Tang Wan remained outwardly calm, but her mind raced with thoughts.

How could Wang Da, an ordinary commoner, have a sister with such a peculiar appearance?
Where does that noble and radiant aura come from? And what is the cause of the graying and erosion on the forehead?

Was it an unusual appearance from birth, or... did he suffer a great calamity?
Thinking of this, Tang Wan recalled the day she looked at Wang Da's face. At that time, she did not see that he had any brothers or sisters alive. Later, he said that he had a younger sister, but she did not think much of it at the time.

He glanced at Wang Da beside him; his face was still the same, so there must be another reason behind it.

Tang Wan suppressed her doubts and said calmly, "Your brother has already sold himself into servitude, so there's no question of him taking you in. As for you, at such a young age, it's only natural that you're following your brother. Now that you're here, feel free to stay."

Wang Da was even more grateful, truly feeling that the host was a rare kind-hearted person, and quickly bowed, saying, "Yes! Yes! Thank you, host!"

Wang Xiaohua then curtsied.

Tang Wan didn't insist on answering her questions. She said she would talk about Wang Da and Wang Xiaohua's matter later and went straight to the main house.

After having a cup of tea and resting for a while, Tang Wan went to the rouge shop alone.

Unexpectedly, as soon as they entered the shop, they encountered Madam Zheng, who had just finished her treatment and was coming downstairs. Accompanying Madam Zheng was the Zheng family's great-aunt, Huang Ying's mother!

Seeing this, Tang Wan quickly stepped forward to greet the two women, smiling and saying, "Greetings, Madam! Greetings, Madam Huang!"

"Good, good, good! It's been so long since I've seen you! And you haven't come to visit this old woman!" Seeing Tang Wan's obvious joy, Old Madam Zheng couldn't help but scold her playfully!

"Didn't we meet today? We're destined to meet!" Tang Wan said to the old lady with a smile.

"You little rascal, you have a sharp tongue!" Old Mrs. Zheng was amused by Tang Wan's words.

Tang Wan led the old lady and Madam Huang to sit down in the back lounge and had Zhu Xi serve them tea.

After sitting down, Tang Wan explained earnestly, "I've been quite busy lately and haven't had time to visit you! How have you been lately?"

"Good, good, everything is good! Since I had the beauty treatment, I feel much younger, and my mood is naturally much better!" Grandma Zheng's mood improved even more when she talked about the beauty treatment.

She genuinely felt that her skin had improved, she looked younger, and even her mood had improved a lot.

Then, Mrs. Zheng pointed to her daughter beside her and said, "She heard me say that the beauty treatment was very effective, so she came here a while ago. Ever since then, she's been thinking about it and comes here every few days!"

"That's wonderful," Tang Wan said with a smile, turning to Madam Huang. "Thank you for your patronage, Madam!"

Madam Huang smiled gently and replied, "Miss Tang is too kind. This is something you should thank us for! The craftsmanship in this shop is excellent. Ying'er always says that you don't come to play with her! She holds onto the toy you gave her last time every day."

Speaking of Huang Ying, Tang Wan indeed liked her, and said with a smile, "I'm glad Ying'er likes it! I'll think of another design later and make her another one!"

"No need, no need, I didn't mean to trouble you again!" Madam Huang quickly declined.

"It's no trouble at all. I was quite busy a while ago, but things are better lately. I'll think about it in a few days, and once I've decided, I'll have my sister make it for me. My cooking skills are really not up to par," Tang Wan explained with a smile.

She wasn't good at needlework, so it wasn't presentable. Since things had come to this point, Madam Huang didn't refuse any further; after all, the two families were close, and it would be pointless to refuse any longer.

However, seeing how much Tang Wan cared about her daughter, Madam Huang couldn't help but say, "Speaking of which, you and Ying'er are truly destined to be together, saving her twice! Our Huang family will always remember this kindness!"

Thinking back on it still terrifies me. Every time was dangerous. If it weren't for the person in front of me, I don't know if I would still be able to see my daughter now.

Seeing Madam Huang's expression, Tang Wan guessed that she was recalling the past, so she quickly said humbly, "Madam, you flatter me. Ying'er is a lucky person and is blessed by heaven. Just as you said, this is also our destiny!"

Grandma Zheng held Tang Wan's hand, looking at her with increasing fondness, and said with a smile, "You are such a capable and kind-hearted child, and so humble. You and your siblings are all good children!"

"It's not as good as you say." Tang Wan said modestly for a moment, then asked, "Has Mu Bai been behaving well while studying under Elder Zheng? Has he caused you two any trouble?"

Madam Zheng's smile widened, and she patted Tang Wan's hand, saying, "You're not causing any trouble at all! He's such a worry-free child!"

Madam Zheng praised, "That child is intelligent and hardworking. The old man often says that he is a rough gem, and with a little polishing, he will surely become a great talent."

Tang Wan was also very happy to hear Old Madam Zheng praising her younger brother, and listened with a smile.

Then, Madam Zheng said, "He's just too quiet. He spends all day reading or writing. My husband is worried that he'll ruin his eyesight, so he asks me to often make some nourishing soup for him."

Hearing that her younger brother was so highly regarded and cared for by the Zheng couple, Tang Wan sincerely bowed and said, "It is Mu Bai's good fortune to receive such careful guidance from Master Zheng and such care from you, Madam. On behalf of my mother and my younger brother, I thank you both!"

"Get up, get up quickly, we're family, no need for formalities." Old Madam Zheng quickly helped her up.

Tang Wan got up and chatted with the two ladies for a while longer. Then, Old Madam Zheng put down her teacup and said, "It's getting late, we should head back now!"

Tang Wan got up and chatted with the two ladies for a while.

Madam Zheng put down her teacup and said, "It's getting late, we should head back."

Tang Wan stood up to see them off, saying, "Please wait a moment, both of you."

Madam Zheng looked at Tang Wan with some confusion.

Tang Wan turned around and instructed Zhu Xi: "The shop has just released a new set of beauty creams. Please bring two sets for the old lady and Madam Huang."

"Yes, miss." Zhu Xi replied and went to prepare efficiently.

Madam Zheng and Madam Huang quickly declined, saying, "Oh, Wan'er, how can this be? It's too precious!"

"Madam, Madam Huang, please don't refuse." Tang Wan said with a warm smile.

Tang Wan said sincerely, "This newly prescribed medicine is just right for your nourishment. It's just a small token of my appreciation, please accept it."

Before long, Zhuxi returned carrying two brocade boxes.

Seeing that Tang Wan insisted, Madam Zheng and Madam Huang accepted the gift with smiles and thanked her repeatedly.

Tang Wan personally escorted the two ladies to the door, watching their carriages drive away smoothly before turning back into the shop.
