Master Sun was finally relieved. Now that he knew the ointment was that woman's doing, he needed to think about how to deal with her!
"Damn it, how dare they hit him!" Old Master Sun touched his face; his face still hurt.
"Oh dear, Lao Sun, what happened to your face? It's so swollen! Could it be..."
"Hmph! You bitch, sooner or later I'll ride you down and torture you mercilessly!"
Fatty Liu laughed and said, "Although that woman is quite good-looking, one of the best in our area, the only regret is that she has a child."
"So what if you have a baby? Isn't that more fun?"
The two exchanged a smile, and Fatty Liu generously said, "Let's go, Old Sun, I'll treat you to Chunhua Pavilion!"
Master Sun's face lit up with joy: "Now?"
"Heh, women, as long as they have money, they'll do anything!"
Seeing that Fatty Sun no longer had any doubts, Fatty Liu thought to himself, "What an idiot."
But her medicine... Damn it, why doesn't that woman play by the rules? Doesn't she know how much money a shop loses if it closes for a day?
They even said they weren't short of money. If they really weren't short of money, why would they open a shop?
Hmph, he'd like to see how long Fu'an Hall can stay closed.
...
"Ouch, my hand!"
"Why isn't this ointment working anymore? My hand injury is getting worse!"
"You call that impressive? My coworker's hands are starting to rot!"
The situation outside Yancheng has been turbulent in recent days, with many people experiencing hand problems.
Some people thought of Fu'an Hall's ointment and wanted to try exchanging it for Fu'an ointment, but when they went there, they found that Fu'an Hall had already closed down.
There was another line of text above: Business suspended for rectification!
Everyone was secretly worried. They went to see a doctor, but the doctor couldn't do anything about it either.
Some people suggested that there was a problem with the ointment from Fu'an Hall. However, those who were watching the commotion at Fu'an Hall that day refuted this and recounted what had happened.
It is said that the eyes of the people are discerning. Those whose hands started to rot, upon careful reflection, realized that the problems only began after they switched to Hongrentang's ointment.
In other words, the problematic ointment came from Hongrentang.
Many people are starting to regret why they tried to take advantage of that small thing. If they had known this would happen, they would have been better off not making the change.
Some people still had Fu'antang ointment on hand, and at this point, they tried it as a last resort. As a result, their condition improved, but it was not cured.
People started inquiring about Fu'an Hall, but many more went to Hongren Hall to cause trouble.
Fatty Sun also went to see the county magistrate and explained the situation. The magistrate's eyes darted around; he wanted to show off his power and let everyone know that he was the real ruler of Yancheng.
However, considering the news he had just received, he gave up on that idea.
That news came from the capital. It said that the former crown prince had gone missing, and that he should be careful in everything he did here and try not to show his face.
The magistrate thought for a moment, his face stern: "Do you have sufficient evidence to prove that the problem originated from Fu'an Hall's ointment?"
"Sir, I have..."
Fatty Sun hurriedly spoke up, but the magistrate waved his hand: "If you have concrete evidence, I can hold a public trial. But if it's a false accusation, I will not let it go easily!"
Fatty Sun was stunned; he even thought the county magistrate in front of him had been replaced. It wasn't like this before, but now…
"My lord, you..."
"If not, let's talk about it in a few days!"
In fact, he had also investigated and found that as a county magistrate, he must know a lot about what was happening outside.
Most of the people outside said the ointment was from Hongrentang, and he was certain that this fat man Sun had no proof.
A secret trial is out of the question for now. The news from the capital hasn't even warmed up yet. He's gained quite a few benefits here over the years, and he doesn't want anything to go wrong at this crucial moment.
"grown ups……"
"Alright, you can go back now. Come back when you've thought it through!"
Fatty Sun touched his forehead; he had a feeling something was off about the adults today. Conclusive evidence? Where would he get that?
But if it were in the past, the adults would definitely have judged the case, and they would have been biased towards themselves.
Han Luoxue didn't care about anything outside. Wang Yan and Mu Yurou had come to see her, but Han Luoxue didn't go out again; she just stayed quietly at home with her two children.
When I have nothing to do, I cook delicious food at home, and I've made a lot of different kinds.
The rich and flavorful bone broth filled seven or eight large bowls. There were also all sorts of desserts available.
In the space, only a small portion of the grain was left; most of it was used to grow spices and medicinal herbs.
There has been no news from the capital, but the two little ones are indeed growing better and better, much prettier than when they were born.
Just when Han Luoxue thought that Fatty Liu and Master Sun were going to do something, her courtyard gate was surrounded by people.
"Mrs. Han, Mrs. Han..."
Many people knelt in front of her house, many of them bringing their families, including the elderly and children.
Especially the children, kneeling on the ground crying their eyes out, it was truly heartbreaking to hear and bring tears to the eyes of anyone who heard it.
Some people who were unaware of the truth saw so many people kneeling at the entrance and asked out of curiosity.
Some people started gossiping, and many more, knowing that the person inside might be able to cure rotten hands, knelt down as well.
In the blink of an eye, a dense crowd of people was kneeling at the entrance; a rough estimate puts it at least a hundred.
Xiao Tao opened the door and only glanced inside before quickly shrinking back in fright.
"Madam, Madam, something terrible has happened!"
With so many people kneeling outside, Xiao Tao didn't dare to make a decision, so she could only come in and find Han Luoxue.
"What's all the fuss about?"
Han Luoxue raised an eyebrow. Could it be that Fatty Liu and his gang had come to cause trouble again? It made sense, as Yancheng wasn't particularly big, so it wasn't surprising that they could find out where she lived.
But... I haven't even dealt with them yet, and they dare to come looking for me?
"Madam, Madam, there are so many people kneeling outside, so many, so many!"
Xiao Tao was so frightened that she stammered.
"A lot of people? What do you mean?" Han Luoxue was a little confused. How could there be so many people?
"This servant doesn't know either, Madam. What should we do now?"
Han Luoxue looked around the room; everyone else was gone, except for her, Xiaotao, and the two children.
"You stay here and watch the two children, I'm going out to check on them!"
Xiao Tao nodded, then shook her head: "Madam, but there are many people outside. I'm worried about you going out by yourself!"
"It's nothing. It's right in front of my own house. What could possibly happen? Besides, it's broad daylight. Do you really think I'm afraid of them?"
"Stay home and look after the two kids. Remember to call me if anything happens!"
