"What nonsense are you spouting? My husband is in this state because of the herbal oil from your Ji'an Hall."
If anything happens to my husband, I will report you to the authorities, and you will be banned from selling this harmful herbal oil.
The woman bared her teeth and bristled, instantly becoming furious upon hearing Su Luo's words.
With her cool and aloof expression, Su Luo exuded a sense of awe simply by standing there.
"Report to the authorities? Good, if you dare to report to the authorities, I and the entire Ji'an Hall will fight to the bitter end."
Su Luo then sneered, "Don't think I don't know what you're up to. Today I'll show you your true colors."
"Bullshit! The herbal oil in my hand is proof, and my husband's eyes are the truth. Don't think that just because Ji'an Hall is big, I'm afraid of you."
"Lady Su, have you noticed something?"
Du Xiuyuan had lived half his life in a large family, and he had only ever seen such a country bumpkin in Yongle County.
Su Luo gave Du Xiuyuan a reassuring look and said, "Dr. Du, go and get me a bottle of our herbal oil."
"good!"
As Du Xiuyuan turned to enter Ji'an Hall, he gave the couple a disgusted look.
He handed a bottle of herbal oil to Su Luo and tried to stay as close to her as possible, not knowing what other harmful things these two might do to her.
"Everyone, look closely. This bottle of herbal oil in my hand is from Ji'an Hall, and she..."
Su Luo pointed at the woman who had come to cause trouble, "The herbal oil in her hand is definitely not from Ji'an Hall."
Look at the bottle in her hand; the rim is yellowed. Herbal oil wouldn't stain a white porcelain bottle yellow unless it's fake.
The woman guiltily took back the medicine bottle and examined the opening. It was indeed yellowish, as everyone else had noticed.
"Please look at this bottle in my hand. The mouth of the bottle is still pure white and will not change color no matter how long it is stored."
Moreover, the bottom of the bottle is engraved with the three characters "Ji'antang". Others can imitate the bottle and the characters, but the medicine inside is our exclusive secret recipe, which others cannot imitate.
Authentic Baicao Oil is only sold at Ji'antang. Please look for Ji'antang. If the mouth of the Baicao Oil bottle in your store is yellow, it is definitely fake.
Everyone can go back and check their herbal oil bottles. If the porcelain bottle hasn't changed color, it's safe to continue using it.
After Su Luo said that, everyone felt a little more at ease, since they hadn't bought it anywhere else, and so far, they hadn't heard of any other place selling herbal oil.
The troublemaking couple's minds went blank for a moment; they stared at the herbal oil in their hands again and again.
I've wiped the porcelain bottle again and again, but the rim keeps turning yellow. What's going on?
They were certain that the herbal oil came from Ji'an Hall.
"Your Ji'an Hall is talking nonsense. My herbal oil was clearly bought from you. It will naturally turn yellow after use. Your bottle is unused, so of course the porcelain bottle is white."
At this moment, a young apprentice stepped forward and said, "Madam, who is wrong? The herbal oil in Madam Su's hand is one that I have used. Not only have I used it, but my family has used it as well."
The effectiveness speaks for itself; anyone who's used it knows. My family of six uses it together, and the bottle opening doesn't change color.
"You're all in cahoots, so of course you'll speak up for your own people. Anyway, I bought my herbal oil from your Ji'an Hall."
"My husband is in this state because he used your herbal oil. Today, Ji'an Hall must give us an explanation."
They loved watching the drama unfold. Whether the herbal oil was real or fake, they would know once they got back and looked at the porcelain bottle. But they were still curious about why the couple had become like this.
"Madam Su, about this matter..."
Du Xiuyuan was seeking Su Luo's opinion when he saw her cold and sharp eyes. He then raised his finger to his ear and flicked it. In an instant, two porters passed through the crowd and restrained the man who couldn't open his eyes.
"What are you doing? Let me go! I haven't even come looking for you yet, and you're already striking first. Let me go!"
The man was thin and blind, and was no match for the two porters.
"Let go of my husband! Oh no, the Ji'an Hall is killing people! Help... Help..."
The woman tried to help the man break free, but when she realized she couldn't, she rolled on the ground.
"Murder! Murder!"
Suddenly, he saw Yu Feipeng patrolling the street with his constables and ran towards him.
She fell to the ground, grabbed Yu Feipeng's leg, and cried.
"My lord, my lord, save me! The Ji'an Hall is killing people! They're trying to kill my husband! You must go and save him! Arrest the people from the Ji'an Hall!"
Yu Feipeng frowned. Ji'an Hall was a medical clinic; how could they possibly commit murder?
“Madam, please get up. I’ll go with you to see what’s going on.”
Yu Feipeng first helped the person up and comforted him.
"Alright, alright... You go and rescue my husband first, he's been captured by the Ji'an Hall."
Yu Feipeng pushed through the crowd and, sure enough, saw a man with bloodshot eyes being restrained in front of Su Luo.
"Madam Su, what's going on?"
When Du Xiuyuan saw that the person who came was Yu Feipeng, he told him the whole story.
Having served as a constable for ten years, Yu Feipeng possessed a keen sense of observation and immediately realized that something was amiss.
“Officer Yu, I did not intend to torture this person. I just wanted everyone to see the truth. They were not cooperating, so I resorted to this tactic.”
Yu Feipeng used the scabbard to pry open the arms of the two porters.
"Madam Su, with me here, anyone who dares to disobey will have to ask my knife for permission first."
The woman was still trying to cause trouble. She was the one who called people over to help her, so how come it seems like the tables have turned now?
Yu Feipeng stood in front of the man, dressed in official robes. The man was so frightened that he dared not move or even breathe loudly.
“Madam Su, tell everyone the truth you know. I will handle the matter impartially, and we are not eating the government’s food for nothing.”
Su Luo nodded and continued to address the crowd: "Everyone, the reason why this person's eyes have become so red and swollen is not due to the herbal oil from our Ji'an Hall."
Instead, he was stung by wasps, or perhaps, deliberately stung by wasps.
Stung by a wasp? That can't be right.
Everyone was puzzled. How could there be wasps in the dead of winter? Wasps couldn't possibly survive the winter.
In this weather, they would have frozen to death long ago. How could that be?
Seeing everyone's quiet reaction, Su Luo knew that these people didn't really believe her; they lacked understanding of animals.
"I know you might not believe me, but you can look closely at his eyelids; the angles at which he was stung are just right."
The eyelids still have wounds from being stung. You may know that wasps don't survive the winter, but there is always a queen bee in a wasp colony, and they will try their best to survive.
They will find a place to overwinter and continue breeding the following year.
