Chapter 116 Rouge is poisonous? Verify it on the spot!
"hiss--!"
Early in the morning, Wei looked in the mirror and touched her red and swollen face, her skin burning with pain.
I hope what that little girl Xiaolian said is true, and the symptoms on her face will disappear in two or three days!
Wei found a handkerchief to cover her face, and hid a box of imitation Chanel rouge in her hand.
She came all the way to the south of the city. Calculating the time, Xiaolian should have taken action by now.
It was only the morning, and there was already a line in front of Xianglai'er's shop. Wei stood on tiptoe to look forward, lowered her head to pull up her face towel, and quickly walked to the front of the line.
Everything was seen by Qin Yuwei who was sitting by the window on the second floor.
With a faint smile on her lips, she put down the teacup in her hand, got up and went downstairs.
There will be a good show today.
Wei was walking hurriedly with her head down. Just as she was about to reach Xianglai'er's door, she was suddenly caught off guard and bumped into someone.
They both cried out "Ouch" at the same time, and the things in their hands fell to the ground.
Seeing that the other person was a young girl, Wei almost started scolding, but then she remembered that she still had important things to do, so she glared at the girl fiercely and squatted down to pick up the things.
The woman was dressed like a maid in an official family. She adjusted her hair bun and quickly bent down to pick up something on the ground.
The lady specifically asked her to come to Xianglaier today to see if there are any new products, and also asked her to remember to buy a box of rouge.
As a result, after the collision with Wei, the rouge boxes in both of their hands fell to the ground.
The two porcelain boxes containing rouge looked new, and the maid was puzzled for a moment, not knowing which one she had just bought.
However, one of the porcelain boxes had a broken corner. If the lady saw it, she would definitely be punished.
The maid didn't hesitate and reached out to pick up another intact box of rouge.
Both sides look new, so it doesn't matter which one you take home.
Wei was still thinking about how to make trouble later. She picked up another box of rouge and put it in her arms without thinking too much.
"Look at this, everyone. I just put some rouge on my face yesterday, and it's like this today!"
Wei was blocking Xianglai's door, and his loud howl immediately attracted countless eyes around.
She pulled off her veil in front of everyone, revealing her red, swollen and blistered face, which was shocking.
When the women queuing outside Xianglaier saw this, they all gasped and expressions of horror appeared on their faces.
Who doesn’t love beauty if they can come here to buy things?
If I imagine my face becoming like this, I would even want to jump into the river and commit suicide.
Wei sat down on the ground and started crying, insisting that there was something wrong with the things Xianglai sold. The people around her also started talking about it in surprise and doubt.
"Ah? I'm here to buy rouge today, too. Luckily it's not my turn yet. This is so scary!"
"Strange, I've used Xianglai's rouge for a while, and this situation never happened..."
"Maybe the boss has become ruthless and started saving money on raw materials. Who among us knows the details?"
As soon as Zhang Sigu walked out of the shop, everyone's eyes fell on her, waiting for her to give an explanation.
Aunt Zhang looked at Wei's face and was secretly shocked. It was really a case of hurting the enemy by a thousand and hurting one's own eight hundred!
"You said you bought this rouge in our shop. Do you have any proof?"
Since all of Xianglaier's goods are of great value, the receipts must be written clearly and must be stamped with Xianglaier's seal personally by Zhang Sigu to be valid.
"Voucher?" Wei was stunned for a moment, then his neck stiffened, "I threw away the voucher! What, you guys don't acknowledge it?"
Aunt Zhang laughed, "You can't even prove that you bought the stuff from us, yet you say there's something wrong with our rouge without any evidence.
Everyone, please judge for yourself. If everyone is as unreasonable as she is, will we still be able to do business?"
This made sense, and some people in the crowd began to nod.
"Yes, I can't prove it. But there must be more than one box of rouge with problems in your house. What do you think? Do you dare to ask someone to test it?"
"Okay, how do you tell me to test it?" Zhang Sigu secretly laughed in her heart, but on the surface she cooperated with her in the performance.
"Of course we need to find someone to check it out!" Xiaolian's voice came, and she walked through the crowd, with a man who looked like a doctor behind her.
When Wei saw her, she jumped up from the ground, pulled the doctor and said to everyone:
"This is Doctor Li. I'm sure many of you know him. My face looked like this this morning. It was Doctor Li who diagnosed me and said I was poisoned by some kind of pollen.
Can you guys trust him?"
Doctor Li is also well-known in Jiangzhou City. He is a kind and honest person with high moral character. Anyone who knows him can trust his character.
Seeing that no one had any objection, Wei looked at Zhang Sigu triumphantly.
"Let him test the rouge in your shop and we'll know right away if there's any problem.
Do you dare? If you don’t dare, then you are guilty of a crime!”
Last night, she and Xiaolian secretly put the rouge that had been greedy for pollen into Xianglaier's warehouse. Xiaolian knew the order of shipment from Xianglaier's warehouse, so the rouge they secretly replaced last night must have been placed on the shelf today!
"Okay, why not? Doctor Li, please."
Aunt Zhang Si stepped aside and let Doctor Li into the house, then exchanged a glance with Wei.
Wei: Laugh now, you will cry later!
Zhang Sigu: Then I will wait and see.
Aunt Zhang pointed to a row of rouge boxes on the shelf and said, "Doctor Li, tell me, how do we test it?"
Doctor Li twisted his beard and said slowly:
“I have a prescription here. When dissolved in water, it will change color when it comes into contact with the kind of pollen that Wei was poisoned with.
To see if it contains poison, just take a tiny amount of rouge from each box and put it on white silk, then apply the reagent and see if it changes color. "
"Okay, wait a moment."
Zhang Sigu asked someone to find a piece of clean white silk, and took out nearly twenty boxes of rouge on the cabinet. She personally used different positions of the white silk to gently dip a little into each box of rouge.
Doctor Li took out a small pill made according to the prescription he mentioned and asked Zhang Sigu to get a bowl of hot water. The pill dissolved into the water in a few moments after it was put in.
"Okay, now all you have to do is soak the white silk in water. If the rouge changes color, it's poisonous."
The crowd outside the door stretched their heads to see what would happen next.
After hearing what Doctor Li said, Aunt Zhang nodded and was about to put the white silk in her hand, but Wei suddenly spoke:
"etc!"
She took the water bowl and walked outside to stand in the sun.
"If we want to test it, let's do it outside so that everyone can see it clearly!"
Of course, it is best to do something like losing your reputation in front of everyone!
