"Oh dear, I bought a lot of rouge from the Japanese pirates later. No, that rouge might be problematic. I need to have it tested by someone who knows medicine." Zhong Daya suddenly had a flash of inspiration.
"Yes, yes, we really have to test it. If it's contaminated with poison, then we'll be in big trouble." Li Quan hurriedly followed his wife into the house to get the rouge.
Japanese pirates are capable of anything, so we must be very careful.
Before long, the couple came out with five or six boxes of rouge and face powder. Zhong Daya said with a long face, "Last time, Guizhi taught me how to apply makeup. I made my face look good, and your uncle also praised me for looking good. So after I finished using it, I went to Heng and bought some from the Japanese. They gave me a discount and even gave me a box for free. I haven't used it much yet."

If the rouge Zhong Daya bought was problematic, perhaps adulterated with poison, then it cannot be ruled out that the rouge bought by others was also adulterated with poison.
If this stuff contains a slow-acting poison, then frequent use will eventually lead to poisoning. The Heng family's rouge shop has been open for over a year and is doing very well. Many noble ladies in Nanyang Prefecture have bought things from this rouge shop.

Zhu Lin also knew some medical skills, though he rarely displayed them. Now, however, he was examining the rouge he'd taken from Zhong Daya as he walked.
