"Sir, I can verify whether I am lying here and now. I don't have any cream, but I think every household has rouge."
Rouge was quickly brought up, along with a number of tools used to extract Sucuihong. This method was the latest and fastest purification method Bei Yutang had just told him.
Everyone stared at the pot and the small fire underneath.
The purification took a long time, but the people standing outside the door did not leave. Instead, more and more people came over.
An hour later, the toxin in the rouge was finally extracted.
Doctor Xu went forward to check and confirmed that everything was correct.
"Sir, there is indeed Sucuihong in it."
Now Gu can no longer excuse himself.
Xue Qian looked at Manager Gu and Gu Pianran with a cold face, "It's impossible for someone with a grudge against the Gu family to appear again and put the same poison in Gu's rouge."
This statement is ironic and also stops them from making excuses.
Lord Wang's face was cold as he demanded sternly, "Xu San, why don't you confess the truth? Or will I have to use severe punishment before you confess?"
Xu San was terrified, his face pale. "Please spare my life, sir. It was Manager Gu who gave me some money and asked me to take all the blame. I was tempted by the money and agreed to it."
There was an uproar outside the venue.
"I was saying it's such a coincidence."
"The Gu family is truly despicable."
"He deserves to die."
"What a bunch of black-hearted people."
"A profiteer, Gu is a profiteer."
The people outside were furious and cursing. Even Lord Wang slamming the gavel could not stop them from cursing. Some people even wanted to rush in.
"Silence, silence."
Gu Pianran's face turned pale. This was the first time she had encountered such a big crisis since she came to this world, and the first time she had been forced to this point.
All this is thanks to that woman.
She wanted to kill that woman now. No, killing her would be too easy for her. She must make her life worse than death.
Gu Pianran lowered his head slightly, his mind turning over and over, thinking of countless ways to solve the current troubles.
Manager Gu stood up, knelt down in front of Gu Pianran, and kowtowed heavily.
"Miss, I am the old servant who has let you down and the Gu family down." Manager Gu said with tears in his eyes.
Gu Pianran had already guessed what he was going to do, and now this was the only way to resolve the Gu family's crisis.
Bei Yutang, who was standing outside the door, frowned slightly.
"Uncle Gu, what are you doing?" Gu Pianran suppressed the bitterness in her heart and put on an expression of surprise and confusion. "This is my fault. I didn't realize there would be toxins in the formula."
"No, Miss, your recipe is not wrong. It's me who is wrong. I know that Su Cui Hong can effectively whiten a woman's skin. That's why I secretly added Su Cui Hong to the recipe without telling you, in order to make the Gu family's rouge and powder sell better. It's my fault. I have harmed the Gu family."
"Uncle Gu, you..." Gu Pianran looked at him in shock, as if she couldn't believe he would do such a thing.
"I didn't know that the poison of this thing was so strong. It's my fault. I have harmed the Gu family and the eldest lady." Manager Gu burst into tears and kowtowed repeatedly to repent.
"Uncle Gu, you, you really disappoint me." Gu Pianran said with a look of disappointment.
