At this moment, Cui'er cried out as if she had seen a savior.
"I beg Your Honor to do justice for me! Their shop sells substandard flowers that wither overnight. Not only do they deny it, but they also falsely accuse me of having some kind of plague on me and of using some kind of sorcery to make the flowers wither in my hands. They even use the plague to scare people and won't let customers leave."
No one around wanted to get involved in this matter.
After all, if the plague is indeed confirmed.
Everyone who gets infected will be taken to the county government office and detained until they are confirmed to be free of symptoms before they can go home.
They immediately denied everything.
"Lord Liu, we've come to buy flowers, we're not sick."
"That's right. There are no natural disasters in the capital, so how could there be a plague? It's utterly absurd and just a publicity stunt."

"You can leave your names and addresses for registration and then leave. If anything happens in the future, I will contact you."
The crowd didn't cause any more trouble.
They followed the shopkeepers to register outside.
Mu An'an also gave new flowers to the girl in pale yellow. Xiao Cui wanted to go back to the manor with her, but was blocked in front of the carriage.
"Go back to your residence only after you've confirmed that everything is alright! But if I find out that you knew something but didn't report it, see how I deal with you."
The girl in pale yellow spoke sharply, yet she couldn't bear to hurt him.
He left after losing two ingots of silver.
Xiao Cui took the money and kowtowed repeatedly before hurriedly leaving with her brother.
