"Don't worry, Xiao Huang. We in Jiuzhou Kingdom abide by the law and will not wrongly accuse innocent people. As long as you really want to do these things, no one can harm you." Xie Yunjiao said.
Xiao Huang looked at Xie Yunjiao palely and weakly. She only spoke official words and seemed reluctant to help her.
She regretted why she suddenly came out to testify against Lai Yinfang. Now she had offended Lai Yinfang and had no one to protect her. Her fate would be no easier than being beaten with twenty lashes of the cane.
"Someone, come here and catch that crazy girl who is talking nonsense!" Someone next to Lai Yinfang suddenly shouted.
As long as Xiao Huang is dealt with, Xie Yunjiao will not be able to jump no matter how hard she tries.
Xiao Huang sat on the ground with her legs limp, she felt that her death was near!
Just as the Lai family's servants rushed over, Xie Yunjiao quickly stood in front of Xiao Huang and said, "This is an important witness who will be handed over to the authorities. No one is allowed to touch him."
Xiao Huang looked at Xie Yunjiao with a hint of hope in his eyes: "Boss..."
Xie Yunjiao also looked at her: "Don't think I will help you out of old friendship. People like you can betray me once, and you can betray me a second time. Just tell me honestly what you have done. I will still promise to help you leave Qinghe Town safely, but you will have no relationship from now on."
"Thank you. I know I'm guilty. It's great that you've helped me this far. Don't worry, I'll definitely tell you everything I've done."
Hai Jing asked the people around her to step forward to protect Xiao Huang and take Xiao Huang out of Lai Yinfang's shop.
Lai Yinfang was filled with anger but had no place to vent it.
"Now there's an important witness who can attest to your deeds. You have to pay compensation whether you want to or not. Please pay for the medical expenses of the girls." Xie Yunjiao paused and said, "The skin on the face is very delicate. If you're not careful, it can ruin someone's life. Don't think you can avoid responsibility by playing tricks. See if the family is willing to let you go."
Hearing that the face would be ruined forever, the girls whose faces were itchy and swollen started crying in panic and shouted angrily that they wanted to tear down Lai Yinfang's shop.
Lai Yinfang's personal maid saw that the situation was developing in an uncontrollable direction and thought that she had no choice but to persuade Lai Yinfang to calm down, otherwise it would be bad for everyone if the matter got out of hand.
Even though those people weren't as high-ranking as Lai Yinfang, a little bit of strength would eventually wear away a stone. It would have been easy to defeat them one by one, but with Xie Yunjiao's instigation, they were already like a rope, making it difficult to deal with them.
It was also the first time that Lai Yinfang saw everyone’s angry expressions. They didn’t even bother with her and wanted to tear down the entire shop.
No matter how arrogant she was, she was still a little girl, and her strong heart had broken at this moment.
She could only grit her teeth and say, "Okay, if you say you can handle it, I'll give you a chance and cooperate with you. But if you can't handle it later, it has nothing to do with me."
Her personal maid taught her to say this. Anyway, she would give the money, and if Xie Yunjiao didn't handle it well, she couldn't be blamed.
The right thing to do is to cut off ties as soon as possible.
"Okay, let me be clear. The face is the most delicate part of the human body. It's very difficult to recover, and the medicine will naturally be very expensive. I don't think it will be able to be cured without spending over a hundred taels."
"What?" Lai Yinfang exclaimed, "One hundred taels? You won't rob them!"
It's simply a lion's mouth!
"Aren't you having fun robbing? You took my things that were worth one or two taels and sold them for more than ten taels a bottle. Now that something's happened, you're still not willing to pay? Do you think that people are full and have nothing to do, so they're willing to mess with you." Xie Yunjiao snorted coldly.
The others nodded, that's not the case.
Xie Yunjiao's products were affordable and easy to use, yet they refused to buy them. They came to her because she promoted them well, saying they were high-quality goods from Beijing and made with genuine, high-quality ingredients.
I was really bewitched by her! I spent ten times more than the price on a bunch of crap and ruined my face!
If they could restore their faces to this state for a hundred taels, they would be willing to pay.
"Lai Yinfang, if my face is really ruined, I won't let you have an easy life!" the leading girl shouted loudly.
With her words, the others were no longer afraid and all clamored to settle the score with Lai Yinfang.
Lai Yinfang had no choice but to ask someone to send one hundred taels to Xie Yunjiao.
"I'll take this hundred taels first. If it's not enough, I'll come back to you." Xie Yunjiao said.
"What? More?!" Lai Yinfang screamed, "Is this the end?"
"Shouldn't you be responsible? I have a way to make everyone look better, but I can't pay for it out of my own pocket. This isn't something I caused, and I can't use my money to help you clean up the mess." Xie Yunjiao said.
"Sister Yunjiao's words make sense, don't you think?" Hai Jing said.
Others agreed: "That's right. A doctor needs more than just one prescription, let alone a face treatment."
“You…you guys…”
"Oh, Miss Lai, your Lai family is wealthy and powerful, with a high status. Are you going to fuss over even such a small matter?" Xie Yunjiao said.
"Okay, I, Lai Yinfang, won't bother with you."
"Words are not enough, written evidence is enough." Xie Yunjiao waved her hand and wrote a whole page of words in a flourish.
She showed it to Lai Yinfang. Although Lai Yinfang had never studied in an academy outside, her family had at least hired a teacher to teach her how to read.
She understood the words above, but some of the words were a bit profound and she seemed to understand them but not quite.
But she was too embarrassed to say that she didn't understand. It was already a farce, and she didn't want to be a laughing stock anymore. So she just gritted her teeth and signed her name and put her fingerprints on it under everyone's gaze.
Xie Yunjiao also signed her name, stamped her fingerprints, and then handed the words to Hai Jing.
"Party A and Party B have found a notary public and asked Miss Hai to keep the documents for us. Miss Hai has the final say on everything."
"Since Sister Yunjiao thinks so highly of me, I will naturally be fair and impartial and will not show favoritism."
Lai Yinfang spat in her heart. It was obvious that Hai Jing and Xie Yunjiao were of the same ilk. Who were they putting on this show for?
But she had no choice but to agree.
After receiving the money, Xie Yunjiao immediately went to a nearby pharmacy to buy some herbs and went back to Qinyuanfang to prepare the ointment.
But she said that the preparation of the ointment is difficult and it takes several days to cure.
As a result, those people's dreams of visiting the lantern festival tomorrow were shattered.
I couldn't help but hate Lai Yinfang even more.
"Boss, those people's faces are horribly swollen. Can they recover? Will there be any sequelae?" Xiao Zhang said worriedly. "I remember you said before that those things were not expired, so there shouldn't be such a big reaction."
