Chapter 365 Paying for Her

"I know that Doctor Murong is an excellent doctor and knows how to identify poisons. Could you please take a look at the four boxes of facial cream in front of you and see if they are the same?" Jian Pingping raised her thoughts.

Doctor Murong's eyes were full of smiles. This woman was smart enough. She wanted Huichuntang and him to assure her that there was no problem with her facial fat.

"Okay." Doctor Murong nodded, picked up each box of facial cream and examined it carefully, and even took out some to apply on his arms.

Everyone around was watching this scene nervously, and no one was discussing it in private anymore.

People kept coming in from outside, asking what was happening here.

Everyone in the crowd had different expressions: some were worried, some were disdainful, and some were nervous...

"There's nothing wrong with all three boxes of facial cream. They feel moisturized and comfortable when applied to the arms. However, this box of facial cream contains a large amount of pollen, which makes it appear uneven when applied to the arms. However, it's too obvious to be the cause of the girl's redness and swelling."

Doctor Murong changed the subject: "Young lady, it seems that the problem is caused by eating long fruits. Young lady, are you allergic to long fruits?"

The woman lowered her head and shook her head desperately: "No, no."

Doctor Murong slowly wiped the facial fat off his arm and said, "Young lady, you have to think carefully. If you are allergic to this fruit, at the very least, you will be disfigured. At the worst, you may fall into a coma or even die."

The woman's hands were shaking, and her brother noticed it immediately.

"Sister, can't you eat long fruits? Tell me quickly." The man didn't want to believe what Doctor Murong said, but was worried that it was true. He shook his sister's arm hard, hoping she would tell the truth.

Doctor Murong ignored their movements. After wiping his arm clean, he took a look at his facial cream.

Jian Pingping said politely, "These three boxes of facial cream are all new. If Doctor Murong doesn't mind, I'll give them to him."

Doctor Murong looked up at her, and she smiled and said, "These facial creams have been opened, so we can't sell them to others. Fortunately, Doctor Murong tried them herself, so I hope you don't mind."

She also handed over the consultation fee, and her meaning was very clear that the facial cream was free and not counted as a fee.

Doctor Murong was a mysophobe. He would wash his hands after every medical examination and would apply facial cream on his hands during breaks. He was too embarrassed to go out to buy it himself, so he asked the maid to do it for him.

Jian Pingping didn't know all this, but she was a careful person and had guessed from Dr. Murong's smooth and delicate hands that he had the habit of applying facial cream, so she simply gave him the opened facial cream.

"Thank you very much." Doctor Murong slowly put away the three boxes of facial cream.

"Doctor, how could you accept their facial cream?" The man standing in front of the few people loudly accused Doctor Murong.

Doctor Murong looked up with a smile on his face, and said, "These three boxes of facial cream are all good. Only the one your sister is using has a problem. Shouldn't you ask your sister?"

"Your sister doesn't take her own life seriously, so why would she not allow others to live?"

"You're wearing a student uniform, but you can't even see such a simple thing. Where are your studies?"

Doctor Murong originally wanted to say that he had read it all to himself, but Jian Pingping pulled the corner of his clothes, so he changed the words that were on the tip of his tongue.

"No, my brother studies very hard and he is very knowledgeable." The woman who had been crying suddenly looked up and shouted loudly to Doctor Murong.

"So what if he's well-educated? He can't judge people." Doctor Murong said slowly, "You should have known for a long time that you were allergic to long-fruit. I suspect you're also allergic to this added facial cream. You ate a small amount of long-fruit out of fear of harm."

Doctor Murong ignored the panic on the crying woman's face and continued, "If you had applied the cream in here on your face, you would be speechless now."

A smile flashed in Jian Pingping's eyes. Doctor Murong's words were so interesting.

He didn't want to get involved in their affairs, but the other party actually accused him of covering up for them, so he simply told them that the other party wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to defraud them.

The man in the student uniform involuntarily loosened his hand. Doctor Murong meant that his sister was trying to defraud money, and he was an accomplice.

"I, I didn't, I didn't." The woman cried even louder, and she grabbed her brother's clothes. "I, I didn't know I couldn't eat long fruits. I, I didn't mean to cheat people out of money."

"Yes, you didn't do it intentionally." Doctor Murong twitched his lips. "Your clothes have been worn for years and have become pale from washing. Your face, well, you can't tell. Your hands are rough and dry, which shows that you often wash a lot of clothes."

"How much is a box of this facial cream?" Doctor Murong suddenly turned his head to look at Jian Pingping.

"One ounce and five qian of silver."

"You make a living by washing clothes, how can you be willing to spend one ounce and a half on a box of facial cream?"

After these words were spoken, the woman could no longer refute, and her brother's face turned red, angry and ashamed. However, he did not walk away, but instead bowed deeply to Jian Pingping.

"It was my sister who did something wrong. I admit my mistake on her behalf and ask for your forgiveness."

Jian Pingping ignored him and only looked at the waiter next to him: "Did the government send anyone?"

The guy looked outside and said, "They're already here."

Two yamen runners came in from outside the crowd and glanced at everyone: "Who went to the yamen to report the case?"

Jian Pingping stepped forward and finished his words in a few words, and the bailiff was about to step forward to arrest the crying woman.

Her brother blocked her way, and the crying woman was so scared that she shook her head desperately. She just wanted to earn some money so that her brother could continue his studies, but she didn't want to ruin his studies.

The woman knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Jian Pingping: "Boss, I was wrong. I will never dare to do it again. Please forgive me this time, please."

The people around her looked at her miserable state and couldn't help but plead for mercy: "Forget it, they are all so pitiful."

Seeing that everyone began to sympathize with the weak, Jian Pingping smiled and nodded: "I can forgive you."

The kneeling woman's face lit up with joy, and she was about to stand up. Doctor Murong raised his eyebrows. Is this person so easy to talk to?

"Because of you today, I haven't done any business for half a day, and it has even affected my shop's future business. In addition to the three boxes of facial cream I just gave Doctor Murong, if you give me fifty taels of silver, I will forgive you."

Doctor Murong sat back down, feeling relieved that this man was not a wimp.

The crying woman collapsed on the ground. If she had that much money, she would not risk her life to eat the long fruit.

There was a lot of discussion around, and some people felt that Jian Pingping asked for too much.

Jian Pingping put away the smile on his face: "Since she dared to come here to cause trouble, she must bear the consequences. If you think she is not wrong, you can take the money for her."

The person who spoke just now shut up immediately. Fifty taels is not a small amount of money. Who would take money for a stranger?

Suddenly, fewer people were talking about it.

Jian Pingping's shop does not serve high-end customers. Even if someone can afford fifty taels, they will not easily pay for a woman who is blackmailing others.

The bailiff was about to pick up the crying woman on the ground and leave.

A female voice came from outside: "I'll pay for her."

People turned around and looked at a man and three women walking in from outside.
