Before Old Man Li could finish speaking, Han Luoxue suddenly stopped him with a smile.
Wang Yan was also taken aback. She thought Han Luoxue had taken her words to heart, and hurriedly assured her, "Sister Han, don't worry, I will do my best to persuade my father. I believe my father will be able to talk you out!"
Han Luoxue patted her hand reassuringly. She knew Wang Yan meant well, but...
Looking at Master Sun's lewd eyes and hearing what he just said—that he actually wanted me and my sister to go back with him—where did he get the nerve? Did he think he was so easy to bully?
Han Luoxue's lips curled into a smile, and she chuckled lightly: "To catch a thief red-handed, to catch an adulterer in the act, you can't just decide things with a few words! You say there's something wrong with my ointment, then please provide evidence. Without evidence, I really don't believe you can control everything in Yancheng by yourself!"
Upon hearing this, Master Sun suddenly laughed: "Hehe, little woman, I don't like what you said! Since you refuse to listen to your punishment, then I'll teach you how to behave!"
"Someone, go and report this to the authorities for me. Tell them they're making counterfeit medicine here!"
Wang Yan was extremely anxious. She quickly stepped forward to block Mr. Sun's path, saying, "No, please don't!"
"Sister Han, please don't be impulsive! Let's talk this out, let's talk this out!"
Han Luoxue didn't care; Wang Yan's performance today had surprised her somewhat. This girl seemed to have some loyalty; she was worth getting to know.
"Hmph, either those two come back with me, or we'll go see the authorities!"
Master Sun snorted smugly, not forgetting to warn in a menacing tone, "To be honest, I do have some connections with the magistrate. This 'Sister Han,' if she gets to the county office, hmph..."
"Sister Han, just bear with it!"
Wang Yan was anxious and kept giving Han Luoxue meaningful glances. She turned to look at Han Luoyu; this little girl was still so young, and hadn't even gotten married yet—it was truly a pity.
However, as long as we can appease Master Sun today and have my father mediate, Madam Han will probably only lose a small amount of money. It's better than losing her virginity, right?
Han Luoxue raised her hand to stop her: "I want to see if he can leave my Fu'an Hall!"
"You! You little beauty, do you intend to force me to stay here?"
Master Sun turned and left, accompanied by five or six people. Looking at the shop's staff, even the elderly, women, and children combined didn't outnumber the men.
"Then try it! To be honest, I just used a small amount of poison on you. Take ten steps and see if you're still alive!"
Han Luoxue's expression was indifferent, and her voice was extremely normal:
"Ten-Step Intestinal-Severing Powder: After taking it, walk ten steps and even a god cannot cure you."
Master Sun chuckled, "Little beauty, I'm not easily intimidated. I'll show you right now! One, two, three..."
He talked as he walked, and in the blink of an eye, he was on the seventh step.
"What nonsense about 'ten steps to break the heart'? I've already taken seven steps, and I'm perfectly fine! I don't feel a thing, I'm in excellent health!"
Master Sun spoke smugly, not forgetting to give Han Luoxue a flirtatious look.
Han Luoxue wasn't angry; a faint smile remained on her face: "You really don't feel anything at all? Like your stomach..."
Master Sun snorted coldly: "No! I'll keep going..."
Just as he was about to take his eighth step, the expression on his fat face suddenly froze, and his brows furrowed tightly.
"Master, master, what's wrong?"
The servant who had come with him saw him like this and rushed forward anxiously to help him, but the master waved his hand and refused to put his raised foot down. Seeing this, Han Luoxue scoffed, "Master Sun, please continue!"
"I, I, oh dear..." He said "I" several times, but he just wouldn't take that step.
"I didn't fall on the eighth step just now, so it shouldn't count, right?"
Mr. Sun was already a bit overweight and didn't exercise much. He was the kind of person who just ate and played all the time. He had only lifted his leg for a short while when he felt a little sore and his body started to tremble.
But he really didn't dare to miss it, because he felt a slight pain in his stomach.
He had always been in good health and was extremely wealthy; he didn't want to die so inexplicably.
"Didn't you say you were fine?" Han Luoxue sneered.
"You, you little beauty, how dare you poison me!"
Master Sun was so angry his face turned red, but was Han Luoxue easily frightened? She simply looked at him calmly: "Do you have any evidence that I poisoned you? Did I even touch you? Did I even come near you? There are so many people here."
She pointed to the door, and only then did Master Sun realize that, without him noticing, a dense crowd had gathered at the entrance of Fu'an Hall.
These are just people watching the spectacle. Because Fu'an Tang's ointment is quite effective, many of its regular customers come here to buy it. In addition, their prices are fair, so many people who don't have much money come here to buy it.
Today, I saw that it was quite noisy inside. No one came in; they just watched from the doorway. Some people were peering out the window, craning their necks to see what was going on.
Master Sun felt like a complete idiot; he had one leg raised, but he dared not put it down.
"Oh dear, we can testify that this lady definitely didn't touch you!"
"That's right, Mr. Sun. You said this lady poisoned you. When did she poison you?"
"How can someone poison you without even touching you? Is there such a potent poison in the world?"
The people outside were chattering away, all eager for a good show. With so many people around, could this Fatty Sun possibly take revenge on everyone?
"You, you all..."
Being called "fatty" to his face made Master Sun even angrier. He gasped for breath, and only then did he realize that the foot he had raised was even heavier.
"Are you all dead?! Hurry up and come help me lift this foot!"
"It's a bit difficult to support myself on one leg," Mr. Sun shouted angrily.
Those who followed him in did not dare to be negligent upon hearing this. They hurriedly stepped forward, with two servants reaching out to lift his thigh that was not yet down, and another holding his foot to prevent it from touching the ground.
"I don't know how you poisoned me. There was no contact, so you must have poisoned me in the air."
As we all know, some poisons don't necessarily have to be close to the body or be applied to it to have an effect.
Hearing this, Han Luoxue was so angry she laughed: "Master Sun, you have a good point. You said I went down into the air, but there are more than a dozen people in this room. How come they are all unharmed?"
"You must have given your people the antidote beforehand!"
Mr. Sun spoke with a self-righteous air.
