Even the most ignorant person knows that wasps don't just appear out of thin air every year.

Curious onlookers went to the man's side to look, and saw a small red dot where he had been stung by a venomous wasp.

No wonder Lady Su laughed after seeing it; this couple is simply insulting their intelligence, they're so vicious.

"They really were stung by wasps. There are still stings left in their eyes. Officer Yu, arrest these two quickly."

The passersby were indignant that they had been used for no reason, and urged Yu Feipeng to arrest the two men quickly to prevent them from harming others.

"No, no...don't arrest me! This idea was my wife's, it has nothing to do with me. If you want to arrest someone, arrest her."

The man's eyes were stung so badly by the queen bee that he was in pain and dizzy. He just wanted to see Doctor Jia for treatment and didn't want to stay here any longer.

"Dog Egg, how dare you talk like that? I'm your wife, we're family. Don't forget our..."

The woman spoke cryptically, as it was inappropriate to scold or beat her good-for-nothing husband in front of so many people.

"Which one of you? And why are you trying to interfere with Ji'an Tang's business and ruin other people's good medicine?"

Yu Feipeng lowered his voice, and everyone wanted to hear what was going on.

What good would it do them to destroy Baicao Oil?

"Speak up, everyone, speak up..."

Despite being urged by the crowd, the two remained silent.

“If you dare not speak, I will speak for you.”

Su Luo walked behind the man.

"Both of you have a strong scent of gromwell on you, and gromwell mostly grows in the northern regions and can only be harvested in spring and autumn."

The fact that you have such a strong smell means you must have a large stockpile of comfrey, which is an essential herb for treating headaches and detoxifying.

Because of the emergence of Baicao Oil, you can't sell a lot of purple gromwell, or the price is being driven down by pharmacies.

That's why you resorted to this desperate measure, thinking that as long as others stop buying Baicao Oil, you can clear out your stockpiled Zicao at a high price.

Tell me, is my description accurate?

The formulas for comfrey and herbal oil are incompatible. It is because they put herbal oil and comfrey together that the porcelain bottle of herbal oil turns yellow.

After hearing Su Luo's words, everyone suddenly realized what was going on.

These two are trying to ruin others to elevate themselves; how wicked people can be!

"You're lying, we didn't..."

Su Luo sneered: "Whether it's true or not can be found out with a simple investigation. Do you think the government would force you to do this?"

Upon hearing this, a few people who had just arrived in the crowd immediately recognized the couple, Gou Dan and his wife, and said...

“I recognize them. They went to recommend gromwell root to Minshengtang a few days ago, but they couldn’t sell it, and then they disappeared…”

Everyone sighed in dismay!

The matter was clear, and Yu Feipeng ordered several constables to restrain the two men.

"Take away anyone causing trouble in the street!"

Dog Egg was taken away by Yu Feipeng, and the two of them cried out in resentment and fear.

"Sir, we were wrong. Please forgive us. We will never do it again."

After this incident, Baicao Oil became difficult to sell.

This farce has left a bit of fear in people's hearts, and some people would rather believe it exists than not.

"Madam Su, have you resolved your matter? I have been waiting here for a long time, just for your herbal oil."

Su Luo looked at the voice that had spoken, her eyes lighting up with joy. This was their savior.

“Old Fan, what brings you here? If you need herbal oil, just let me know and I’ll deliver it to Cangxi Academy. You didn’t need to make this trip.”

Fan Hongzhen stroked his beard and chuckled, "No need for that. The herbal oil I bought from Ji'an Hall last time was very effective, and it was immediately snatched up by the teachers in our courtyard."

"Since I'm idle anyway, I might as well get some exercise. I happened to be here today and was planning to take a few bottles back with me, one for each of the teachers at Cangxi Academy."

Su Luo and Du Xiuyuan invited the man into Ji'an Hall: "Master Fan, you're too kind. The teachers are all doing this for education. The white herbal oil you need today will be given to you free of charge by Ji'an Hall!"

"Very well! Then I thank Lady Su on behalf of the teachers of Cangxi Academy."

Du Xiuyuan bowed deeply to Fan Hongzhen: "Mr. Fan, we also thank you."

All three understood that Fan Hongzhen's words at this moment were to help them. He was the head of the academy, the representative of the literati in Yongle County, and the most cultured person.

With the teachers at Cangxi Academy using this herbal oil, what do the common people have to fear? If they don't trust Ji'an Hall, do they not trust scholars?

The crowd gathered at the entrance had not yet dispersed; everyone in Yongle County knew Dean Fan.

"It seems that Baicao Oil is really effective. Even Master Fan uses it. I want to buy some too."

“I’m going too. Old Fan is the person I admire most. I want to use the things he uses.”

"Looks like I should buy a bottle for my grandfather. He'll definitely like medicine that doesn't require oral administration."

A large number of people suddenly flooded into Ji'an Hall, all because of Fan Hongzhen's words, which triggered a series of butterfly effects.

"Don't grab it, everyone gets one..."

The two apprentice pharmacists were too busy to keep up with the demand at the counter.

Du Xiuyuan saw this from the back door, lowered the curtain, and sat back down at the table with Su Luo and Fan Hongzhen.

"Mr. Fan, thank you so much for today. If you need any more herbal oil in the future, just come to Ji'an Hall and we won't charge you any money."

"Alright, alright! Dr. Du, you're too kind."

Su Luo poured Fan Hongzhen a fresh cup of tea.

"Lady Su, winter is a season when everyone lacks clothes and food. Every year at this time, there are uprisings and bandits."

Today's events were relatively fortunate. It's common to encounter unforeseen circumstances on the road. Madam Su, you are a woman; you should be careful when you go out on errands."

In winter, when there is no food, people will do some extreme things in order to survive.

"I will be careful, thank you for the reminder, Mr. Fan."

With the herbal oil selling very well, Du Xiuyuan stayed at Ji'an Hall to produce it. Su Luo only needed to prepare the herbs and then hand them over to the people at Ji'an Hall to make it.

As we prepared to return to Changping Village, three large men stood in front of Ji'an Hall.

"Ah Xu, what are you doing here?"

Ah Xu walked up to Su Luo and said calmly, "Young Master asked me to come and wait for Lady Su."

How did Nangong Qing know she was at Ji'an Hall? Did Fumanlou know about the farce at Ji'an Hall?

"Oh, is there something you need, Nangong Qing?"

"Young master is very kind. He was worried that you might be targeted by bad people, so he sent you two bodyguards. They will not disturb your life, but will only protect your safety."

Looking at the two people behind Ah Xu, their faces were cold, and they looked like the kind of people who didn't care about their lives.

"Then please thank Nangong Qing for me!"

With Su Luo's skills, she could protect herself without any problem, but it would be difficult for her to take care of Zhao Ruyun and the two children.

The two guards hid in the shadows and arrived at Changping Village in the afternoon.

Zhao Ruyun had prepared the meal, and the five of them could eat it directly.

Xie Wanwan became more and more familiar with this family. Only when there was no man in the house could she feel at ease and not have the worry of being a concubine.

In the afternoon, the village chief arrived.
