Yan Yuzhi looked at Guan Surong in disbelief. "Madam, you still have such a skill? As the saying goes, people don't fight merchants, and merchants don't fight officials. What's more, the Prime Minister's office is such a high-ranking official, and I don't know if we can defeat him...Surong should also be careful. Don't offend the Prime Minister because of family matters, that would be too late for regret."
"Husband, just wait at home." Guan Surong looked at Yan Yuzhi and said coquettishly, "Husband, if I can really help our family get through this difficult time, will you make me your wife?"
"Of course. Su Rong is an excellent, extremely gentle and considerate lady." Yan Yuzhi said, pulling Guan Su Rong's hand and holding her in his arms, saying softly, "Madam is able to help me solve my problems now. When my mother finds out, she will surely be very happy. When the time comes, I will definitely help Madam fight for the status she deserves."
After hearing this, Guan Surong's smile became even brighter, and she leaned over and kissed Yan Yuzhi on the cheek.
The two of them now seem to be treating each other as equals. It is not easy for Guan Surong to play such a bad hand into this state.
But Guan Surong didn't know that Yan Yuzhi's eyes darkened as he hugged her.
Cui Xiaoxiao told Song Wanning all the news she had received since she returned to the Prime Minister's Mansion. "Madam, what are you going to do now?"
"This family is trying to set me up now." Song Wanning said calmly, "They all think that they can bring me down with this shop. The Yan family's shop is extremely expensive, and they have a monopoly on business in the capital, which is why they have achieved this. Now that they see that my shop is not something they can easily bring down, they are getting anxious. They want to harm me, but I want to let them know that the Prime Minister's Mansion is not something they can just mess with. You should just pretend to be friendly with them and just say that you did what they told you to do. When the time comes, I will send people to stage a scene at the soap shop to cause trouble and teach their two families a lesson."
"I understand, ma'am." Cui Xiaoxiao nodded and walked out, turning around to fix her soap.
Song Wanshi and Guan Surong were overjoyed when they heard the good news from Nan Hongqiu. Guan Surong looked at Nan Hongqiu and said happily, "Is what my aunt said true? Did Cui Xiaoxiao really say that she would add something harmful to the soap?"
"Cui Xiaoxiao said that they've secretly added it in. When the time comes, we'll just wait for someone to cause trouble, and then we'll say their shop has something that could kill people, and no one will dare to buy from it anymore." Nan Hongqiu looked at Guan Surong and Song Wanshi, "That way, we can vent our anger. If the General's Mansion hadn't been unwilling to help, Su Rong wouldn't have ended up in this situation today, becoming a concubine of the Yan Mansion. If Su Rong hadn't worked hard to live a good life, who knows what would have happened to her now because of the people in their family."
Guan Surong sighed after hearing this. "I never thought that Cousin Ning would disregard our kinship and push me into this fire pit. Fortunately, Yu Zhi has already promised me that he will make me the mistress of the Yan Mansion in the future after I resolve this matter."
Several people were chattering and making a lot of noise, and then they were waiting for someone to cause trouble in front of the soap shop in the Prime Minister's Mansion.
Sure enough, not long after, someone really did go and cause trouble. When everyone heard about it, they rushed forward to watch the fun. Now, five or six people gathered at the door of the Prime Minister's shop, raising their red arms and cursing coldly.
"What kind of soap is this? I used it to wash clothes, and my arms are all covered with rashes. This is not fatal. Why don't you come out and give us an explanation?"
"That's right! I originally thought I ate something wrong, but I broke out in a rash every time I washed my clothes with soap, and it was incredibly itchy." The woman next to her echoed, continuing to curse. "Who knows what kind of harmful things this shop puts in to make money? Whoever's in charge, come out and compensate me!"
"that is!"
"That's right! These people in there actually dare to buy soap and aren't they afraid of getting a rash? Why don't you stop buying it?"
These people chatted with each other and really deceived the people who were planning to buy soap. They all stood in the shop, not knowing whether to buy or not.
At this moment, someone else spoke up, "Where's the manager? Why hasn't he come out and give us an explanation? I heard that this shop is owned by the current Prime Minister. Who would have thought that an official appointed by the court would do such a disregard for human life just to make money? It's really unbelievable."
"Pay the money, come out and pay it!"
The crowd erupted in a commotion. Just then, the manager stepped forward, looked at the people at the door, and said, "Everyone, calm down. I'll call a doctor right now. If the rash is indeed caused by the soap, our shop will take full responsibility. As long as the rash is caused by soap, we will not only provide treatment, but also compensate each person with one or two taels of silver. This is the reputation of our shop under the Prime Minister's Mansion."
The manager cast his gaze on the others who wanted to buy soap in the shop and continued, "Everyone, the same goes for everyone. If anyone experiences any physical discomfort after using our soap in the future, just come to us. Once we investigate, we will definitely compensate you."
After hearing what the shopkeeper said, the people in the shop came over to watch the fun.
The troublemaker outside spoke up again, looking at the shopkeeper and continuing, "Who knows if they've colluded with the doctor to say it wasn't the soap. Then those of us who were hurt by the soap won't be able to defend ourselves."
"We will definitely find this doctor from the Baishan Hall in the capital." The shopkeeper looked at the people below and continued, "We will make sure that no one makes any mistakes because of our things."
Baishantang is well-known in the capital. The doctors there are all very honest and will never accept money to do things for the powerful. It is an old brand.
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone in the audience looked at each other, unable to say a word.
Soon, the doctor from the Baishan Hall in the capital arrived. The doctor looked at the people with rashes on their hands and said slowly, "Doctor, please take a look. These rashes are caused by our things."
The doctor listened to the steward's words and began to examine each one, starting with the first one. He looked at it carefully and finally came to the conclusion, "This red rash is obviously caused by an allergic reaction to alcohol, and has nothing to do with soap."
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone around sighed, and the middle-aged man blushed.
