Male Lead's Canon Fodder Wife - Chapter 756

Chapter 756: Pale and Haggard
After the children went to school, Lu Jueyu took out the makeup box from the space. Li Chenmo took her to the Liu family’s house by bicycle, and then went to Xiao Li’s house.

As soon as she arrived, Liu Fuyan came over and greeted her, “Good morning, Aunt Jueyu. My little aunt is already waiting for you. Please come with me.”

Lu Jueyu smiled and said to her, “Good morning, Fuyan.”

When she walked to Liu Hua’s bedroom, Lu Jueyu found Shi Qiwan washing vegetables by the well while complaining in a low voice. Although she couldn’t hear what she was saying, looking at her terrible expression, she knew something must have happened before she arrived.

Liu Fuyan noticed her gaze and said, “Aunt Jueyu, if my mother says anything unpleasant to you later, just ignore it. She feels very irritable these days because of her monthly bleeding and likes to scold people.”

Hearing her words, Lu Jueyu was a little surprised that an eight-year-old girl actually knew about this. She was a little curious and asked, “Fuyan, how did you know about this? Did your mother teach you?”

“This morning, my Grandma asked her to wash vegetables. She said that she was having her monthly bleeding and could not touch cold water. I don’t understand, she has it every few days, why does it have to be called monthly bleeding instead?” Liu Fuyan said this with a frown.

Lu Jueyu knew that most women in this era would go to work even if they were pregnant, so this was the first time she heard someone use this excuse to avoid work.

While it is true that exposure to cold water can make the pain unbearable during their periods, using this excuse too often can lead to disbelief when she is actually in pain.

The two of them fell into deep thought and came to Liu Hua’s bedroom. Knocking on the door, Liu Fuyan said, “Grandma, little aunt, can we come in? Aunt Jueyu is here.”

In the room, Liu Hua just changed her clothes and said, “Please come in.”

Hearing this, Liu Fuyan opened the door and saw her aunt wearing a beautiful red Qipao with flowers embroidered with white and golden threads on the shoulders, sleeves, and hem.

“Little aunt, you are so beautiful,” Liu Fuyan marveled.

“You little girl has such a sweet mouth.” Liu Hua said happily.

Entering the room, Lu Jueyu said, “Sister Liu Hua, let’s go put on your makeup.”

When Aunt Su heard this, she said, “Jueyu, we just finished threading, you can go directly to put on makeup.”

Lu Jueyu nodded to her, put the makeup box on the bedside table, and said, “Before applying makeup, I will prepare Sister Liu Hua’s skin. After threading, the skin will be irritated and turn red. I prepared this mask to relieve the pain and redness on her face.”

After saying that, she opened the makeup box and took out a clean make up cotton pad and a jar. She wet the cotton pad with water from the jar and wiped Liu Hua’s face gently.

Everyone looked at her curiously, including Liu Hua and Aunt Su. At first, they thought it was just water, but when the wet cloth was wiped on her face, Liu Hua felt a soothing and cooling sensation on her skin, which relieved the burning pain after the threading.

“Jueyu, what is this?” she asked curiously.

“This is called a soothing cleanser and is made with cucumber and aloe vera extracts. It can soothe redness on your face,” Lu Jueyu said with a smile.

After saying that, she took out another jar and a bamboo stick. There is a gel-like substance in the jar. She used a bamboo stick to apply the gel mask to Liu Hua’s face.

Made in her space, this mask works as a primer mask to brighten and maintain a youthful appearance.

When it was drying, she said, “Sister Liu Hua, you can close your eyes and take a nap for a while. I will wake you up when it’s time to wash the mask.”

Feeling the soothing feeling on her face, Liu Hua nodded and slowly fell asleep.

She woke up shortly after midnight, so she felt tired. Because of the threading, she felt pain on her face, but she didn’t dare to touch it. Now, the pain subsides and her sleepiness returns.

While Liu Hua was taking a nap, Lu Jueyu was preparing to put on makeup. To avoid suspicion, she transferred the cosmetics into jars before. If people asked, she just told them she made these makeup herself.

After all, all of the cosmetics made in her space are made from natural ingredients and can be made by hand.

When everyone saw the rows of jars, Mother Liu asked, “Jueyu, why are there so many things?”

“Aunt Liu, these are the standard products needed for natural makeup. If you only use white powder, blush, and lipstick, you will look pale and haggard,” Lu Jueyu explained.

Looking at the cream-like substances and various powders in the jar, Aunt Su asked, “Jueyu, there are so many pastes and powders here. Do you want to use everything?”

“Yes, although everything looks similar, the functions are different. This is the primer that we use before applying makeup. With this, it will make our makeup smoother and last longer. These colorful powders are called eye shadow, and are used for eye makeup,” Lu Jueyu said while pointing at the jars.

“This is eyeliner and mascara that enhance the contours of the eyes and make them more beautiful. This is foundation, concealer, bronzer, powdered foundation, blush, and highlighter. All designed to enhance our best characteristics and cover up our shortcomings,” she added.

Although everyone was listening to her explanation carefully, no one understood what she was saying.

All they knew was that she was going to smear everything on Liu Hua’s face. Just think about how much cream and powder is applied to the bride’s face, and you can imagine how pale and heavy the bride’s face will become.

Not to mention the hot weather, the amount of makeup alone will make the bride look like she was wearing a mask ah!
