"I just heard that Dr. Xue needs the earliest batch of facial cream from Gu's. I am willing to donate this bottle of cream to give Gu a chance to prove his innocence and let the people of Chang'an City know the truth." Zhou Ruyan said softly, word by word.
Gu Pianran's face turned slightly cold, and she had already planned to bribe Lingzhi. Lingzhi had a good relationship with her, so she would definitely help.
But she wanted this, and Zhou Ruyan was not stupid.
"Sir, please summon Lingzhi to ask her if what I said is true."
Originally, Lord Wang wanted to say that it was not necessary, but when his eyes met Bei Yutang, he agreed, "Send Wang Lingzhi."
Soon, the bailiff appeared in the court with Wang Lingzhi, who looked confused.
"Ms. Wang, Miss Zhou just said that the face cream in her hand was a gift from you. Is that true?"
Wang Lingzhi glanced at Zhou Ruyan and nodded to the seated Lord Wang. "Yes. I gave her a bottle of face cream. But I'm not sure if the bottle she has is mine."
As soon as these words were spoken, Zhou Ruyan's expression changed slightly.
A hint of surprise flashed in Gu Pianran's eyes.
Who is helping her outside?
It doesn't matter who it is, as long as someone helps her solve the problem.
Gu Pianran straightened his back again, and a faint smile appeared on his lips.
"Lingzhi, you..." Zhou Ruyan was a little angry. She had never expected her to say that.
Wang Lingzhi said to Zhou Ruyan with an apologetic look, "Sister Zhou, this matter is of great importance. I can't be sure whether the cream in your hand is from the earliest batch."
Zhou Ruyan was furious, but she regained her composure and said, "You're right to be concerned."
Lord Wang couldn't help but ask, "Miss Zhou, do you have any other way to prove it?"
Zhou Ruyan shook her head.
If this is the case, the case has reached a dead end.
Xue Qian, who had been silent the whole time, said, "Sir, I have a question for Xu San."
"Ask me."
After getting permission, Xue Qian turned to look at Xu San, "Have you been in the face cream workshop?"
"right."
"So, the poison was added to the cream only after you entered the cream's workshop, correct?"
"Yes."
"Have you poisoned other products?"
"No. The workshop only makes facial cream and nothing else." Xu San answered honestly.
After Xue Qian finished his questioning, he addressed Lord Wang and Lord Zhao in the hall, "Your Excellencies, I recently met a peasant woman whose face displayed all the symptoms common to women in Chang'an. Strangely, she never used any facial cream. Upon closer questioning, I learned that her husband had bought her Gu's rouge. With her consent, I analyzed the rouge and discovered Sucuihong. This suggests that the problem with Gu's rouge isn't just the cream; it's also the rouge."
As soon as these words were spoken, the whole audience was in an uproar.
Manager Gu jumped up and shouted angrily, "Stop talking nonsense. If there's something wrong with Gu's rouge, why haven't women experienced this before?"
Xue Qian said slowly, "Because the rouge contains only a small amount of toxins, the toxicity of the red rouge needs to accumulate over a long period of time, and only erupts when it reaches a certain level. Based on the amount of red rouge, it should erupt in a year or two, but the woman's skin is allergic, in other words, she is particularly sensitive to toxins, so the outbreak occurred early."
