"Come out, everyone inside, get out!"
At the gate of Heyan Pavilion, there stood a woman wearing a veil. Beside her stood a middle-aged man, who was cursing at Heyan Pavilion.
For a moment, many people gathered at the door.
"Everyone, come and take a look! This is a shady shop. The rouge and powder they sold me ruined my face. Now I'm asking them for an explanation, but they're nowhere to be found!"
"Poor woman of mine. Although she used to be ordinary-looking, she was still pretty. Look at her now..."
As he spoke, the man actually reached out and tore off the woman's veil. When they saw her appearance, there was a burst of gasps from all around.
'hiss--'
The veil on the woman's face was removed, and she came into view of everyone.
Anyone who saw it couldn't help but take two steps back.
Half of the woman's face was actually ulcerated... and even emitted a strange smell.
Those who had bought cosmetics from Heyan Pavilion before all looked at each other with a changed expression. "What? You said you bought cosmetics from Heyan Pavilion?"
"I also bought some cosmetics from here. I don't think there's any problem, right?"
Thinking of this, the woman covered her face and looked at the woman whose half face was rotten with horror, fearing that her face would become like that.
They buy rouge and powder to maintain their appearance. If their faces become ulcerated, wouldn't that be going against the purpose?
Besides, how can I face people in the future if it’s rotten like that?
"Come out, you have to give us an explanation!"
"Yes, you must give us an explanation!"
Many people followed them and started shouting, trying to call out the people from Heyan Pavilion.
“Squeak—”
The door of Heyan Pavilion was opened and Jiang Wan walked out.
His eyes fell on the woman not far away. When the woman saw the person in charge finally come out, her anger rose up.
"You black-hearted people, you actually sold poisonous cosmetics, you have to pay the money now!"
"Yes, pay the money!"
"Besides, we are not done with this matter yet!"
The voices outside were still clamoring, and Jiang Wan frowned.
Her eyes fell on a woman not far away. The woman's eyes flashed when she met her gaze, but soon she straightened her neck and shouted.
"It's you!"
"I was wondering, no wonder you were so enthusiastic when I came to your shop to buy gouache a while ago. Turns out you were selling poisonous gouache! You're so heartless! How can you be so heartless!"
The woman pointed at Jiang Wan who was not far away. At this moment, because she spoke with a ferocious look on her face, the flesh on her face moved, especially the festering half of her face, which was even oozing out a trickle of pus.
It's really chilling to watch.
"Madam, I do remember you coming to Heyan Pavilion."
"Listen, listen, everyone, listen! She's admitted it's their rouge and powder that's the problem!"
When the woman heard Jiang Wan's admission, a smile flashed in her eyes. Now they could not escape.
As expected, when people heard this, they were instantly horrified. Is this actually true?
"Madam, when did I ever tell you that your face is the result of my gouache?"
"You just admitted it yourself. I bought the gouache from your house!"
"I admit that you bought gouache from my house, but your face is not caused by my gouache."
Jiang Wan glanced at her, without any panic on her face.
"My rouge and powder are made from herbs, but each herb has been personally tested. If there is a problem, wouldn't my face be ruined a thousand times?"
"This is your shop. You can say whatever you want to help you escape!"
This was true, and whispers were heard all around.
Jiang Wan was not flustered, but spoke as usual.
"Having said that, Madam, may I ask when did you come to my house to buy the cosmetics?"
"Just, just two days ago."
"Which day exactly?"
The woman was stared at by Jiang Wan and felt flustered.
"Four, no, five days ago. Yes, five days ago!"
"Five days ago?"
Jiang Wan sneered.
"I'm really cruel. I can turn this powder into something with such medicinal effects in just five days. Could it be that I don't want to continue this business anymore?"
Even if you put drugs in the cosmetics and there are side effects, wouldn't that just cause trouble for yourself in five days?
"Furthermore, Madam, you are not the only one who buys cosmetics from my house, but now you are the only one who has been in trouble. How do you explain this?"
"Say... maybe your powder was randomly mixed with medicine powder. Who knows if you have other bad intentions?"
The more the woman spoke, the less confident she felt, especially when she met Jiang Wan's half-smiling eyes. She always felt as if everything was within her expectations.
"I didn't realize I had such a great ability to silence others. Madam, you are so unlucky that you chose a box of powder with drugs in it."
When passersby heard these words, they began to murmur in their hearts.
"Yes, this is the only person at the door who said there was something wrong here, but when Heyan Pavilion opened a few days ago, many people came here to buy cosmetics, and nothing happened."
"Maybe they really are here to cause trouble. After all, although this Heyan Pavilion is a new shop, its business is still good..."
Although the voices in the crowd were small, their ears were not deaf and they could hear them clearly.
"...You don't understand, I hope you're talking nonsense. Would I make fun of my own face?"
This is true, no one would joke about his own face.
A servant came hurriedly over from behind. Jiang Wan lowered her head, heard him say a few words in her ear, and then looked up.
"Madam, besides buying cigarettes from me, you also bought rouge from Yuling Pavilion, right?"
“…So, what then?”
"Then how can you be sure that the problem lies with me?"
Since the other party took the initiative, she didn't have to be polite.
If you want to throw this dirty water on her, it depends on whether she agrees or not.
"What a joke! Yuling Pavilion has been here for so many years, how could they produce such low-quality rouge? Go ask around, every young lady on this street has bought rouge from them, and have they ever had any problems?"
It is precisely because of this that they are so confident to stand here.
Most people would not suspect Yuling Pavilion at all.
"Really? I heard that Yuling Pavilion released a new rouge some time ago. It's also said to be made from herbs. I wonder if the rouge and powder there have been tested by doctors?"
"Have your rouge and powder been tested by a doctor?"
"It's natural."
Hearing the questions from the crowd, Jiang Wan nodded without hesitation.
"How could I dare to sell this rouge if it hadn't been inspected by a doctor? If you don't believe me, you can go to Huichun Hall and ask. There's nothing wrong with my rouge."
Fortunately, she was careful at the time and Mr. Qin persuaded her to be the guarantor.
Although she didn't want to trouble him at the time, she finally agreed to it.
in case.
