Seeing the person who had arrived was pale, panting, and covered in sweat, Zhou Jie's heart skipped a beat.
"What's up?"
"Two ladies used our product and suffered severe allergic reactions on their faces. Not only did they break out in bumps all over their faces, but they also vomited and had diarrhea. They are now unconscious!"
Zhou Jie's expression changed. She had a mysterious confidence in Han Luoxue's things: "This is impossible. Our things are extremely good for the body. How could anything go wrong?"
"Besides, this shop has been open for quite some time now. If there were really a problem with the products we use, it would have come out long ago. How could something like this suddenly happen?"
Anyone with a brain could figure this out, but people tend to follow the crowd. If someone says that a shop's products are good, even if they haven't used them themselves, they still assume they are good.
But if something goes wrong, even if you're using it and it's perfectly fine, you'll still feel uneasy and say something is wrong.
"Many people have said they want to return the goods, and some have said their faces are itchy. But I have seen them, and their complexions and skin are normal. I think these people are just trying to scam us."
The little girl said angrily that the products in their shop were of such good quality, and the shopkeeper was very generous to the workers.
They were given a lot of money, and sometimes they even got to use the products. This little girl used to have a sallow complexion, but Du Linlang gave her face masks, and after using them three or four times, her face became so tender it looked like you could squeeze water out of it.
This is the kind of skin she never dared to dream of before. Even with such a good product, some people still come and slander her.
"A lot of people are returning the goods?"
Zhou Jie was stunned. She thought that after working there for so long, especially since most of the customers in the store were regulars, they wouldn't just follow the crowd like that.
It's a bit disheartening; there are quite a few people kicking someone when they're down right now.
"Yes, Miss, Madam Han, what should we do now? I heard from that person that she wants to report this to the authorities."
The worst thing about this kind of thing is reporting it to the authorities. Once you have a criminal record, people will talk about you even if nothing happens.
"Sister Xue'er!" Zhou Jie was at a loss for words.
"Miss Du told me to come find you right away. She's trying to calm things down over there, but I don't know how long she can hold out."
"Why don't we hurry back? If this gets out of hand, everyone will return the goods, and that would be a real problem."
Han Luoxue frowned, sensing that something was amiss.
Zhou Jie frequented that shop, and whether people knew it or not, she had a stake in it. Just seeing Zhou Jie there deterred many from provoking her. The Zhou family was currently at the height of its power; it was obvious they could handle most minor matters. After all, they had the new crown prince backing them up.
Something seemed off, Han Luoxue suddenly realized.
The former crown prince is currently missing and his fate is unknown. The new crown prince, Han Yuchen, has gone to Xishu, so there's really no time to worry about the situation in the capital.
Could it be that the other party deliberately chose this time to cause trouble because of this?
Han Luoxue sneered inwardly. Her product was definitely not the problem. She wanted to go and see who was behind this.
“Sister Zhou, let’s go right away. Send someone back to tell my parents that something has happened in the capital and I’m going back now. I’ll have dinner with them another day.”
Zhou Jie also knew the seriousness of the matter, so he called Zhou Kuan over and asked him to send someone over to tell him.
By the time Han Luoxue and the others returned, an hour had passed. She wanted to hurry on the way, as Zhou Jie was worried about her health. The shop was doing well, but Han Luoxue's pregnancy was more important.
After arriving in the capital, the two first went to pick up Doctor Xu and Han Luoyu. According to the little girl's description, the person was probably poisoned.
Han Luoxue had no medical skills, so she naturally had to contact someone who knew the profession.
When the five returned, the shop was already packed with people. They could hear shouting and crying.
Some people were loudly demanding refunds and returns, but Du Linlang did not agree for the time being. Her voice was clear and crisp, but it seemed pitifully weak in the noisy crowd.
"Don't worry, everyone. This isn't your first time visiting our store. You all know what our products are like. We'll investigate and see what's going on with this person."
"However, I believe in the products in our store. The effects on everyone are real and visible, and no one can fool anyone about that, so I hope everyone can calm down."
"If there is a problem with the quality of our products, the store will refund the full amount. However, if there is no problem and someone is deliberately slandering us, the store will hold her accountable!"
Du Linlang was also a seasoned businesswoman. Her two maids stood by her side like door gods, dutifully keeping people away from those who approached, worried that someone might take the opportunity to harm their young lady.
"Hmph, you have the nerve to say that! You're a pretty little girl, but how can you be so vicious? When we first started using your products, our faces changed too, becoming fair and smooth, which was great. But after less than a month, look at my face!"
The woman who spoke also had rashes all over her face. She clutched her stomach, her face pale: "I'm vomiting and having diarrhea, and my vision keeps going black. What did you put in the product?"
Beside her was another woman who had already fallen unconscious; that woman's condition was more serious.
This is what Han Luoxue saw when she arrived.
"Just tell me how to solve this. If you can't come up with a proper solution, I'll report it to the authorities immediately..."
"We've already called a doctor. We'll have to wait and see if it's a product issue to determine."
"Haha, that's hilarious. You go and call a doctor, but isn't the doctor you call on the same side as you?"
The woman with a face full of pimples sneered disdainfully. She tugged at the hand of a man beside her and said with a cold laugh, "You think we haven't seen a doctor? This is the one we found. You heartless shopkeeper, listen to what he has to say!"
"They've been poisoned. We don't know the specific poison yet, but judging from its toxicity, it's not a simple one. I need to examine it more closely."
"Bring out a copy of your product; I need to take a look!"
Hearing this, Du Linlang was so angry she laughed: "Didn't you say they were like this because they used my products? Then they should still have products on hand. Are you going to ask me for them?"
"They've run out of products, otherwise why would I be asking you for some?"
The man spoke with an air of self-righteousness. Du Linlang was about to speak when Han Luoxue and the others entered. With maids clearing the way, many people recognized Zhou Jie, knowing she was the one in charge here and that her words carried the most weight.
As for Han Luoxue, who came with them, not many people knew her.
