A hearty, penetrating voice sounded.
Hearing this voice, everyone stopped talking and stared at Mrs. Su, afraid of missing any news.
Cui smiled and nodded, "Of course, who else could come up with such a good thing?"
As she spoke, she put away the hand cream.
"It's because Yingying is kind-hearted that she went to the little princess to ask for a set of cosmetics and a set of skin care products for me."
Mrs. Lin smiled, then glanced meaningfully at the ladies who had just shown off.
"Yingying is a filial daughter. My cousin is so lucky."
Madam Yuan took Cui's arm and said, "Sister Cui, can you ask Yingying to ask for a set for me as well?"
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone looked at Cui eagerly.
Su Yingying's cheerful voice spread into the main hall. Upon hearing it, everyone straightened their clothes and waited respectfully on the side.
Upon hearing this, Mrs. Lin frowned, with a look of worry in her eyes.
Chu Yaoyao raised her little hand, "No need to be so polite."
Her body suddenly trembled as if a thorn was on her back.
There were a lot of people here today, so she shouldn't have brought Yi'er with her, but...
As soon as she said this, everyone surrounded Mrs. Yuan.
"The little princess is so adorable, she really lives up to her reputation."
"I think the little wooden sword on the bag is very delicate. The little princess has good taste."
"How is Yi'er's health these days?"
As soon as Chu Yaoyao came in, she met everyone's fiery gazes.
She can't make the decision.
The main hall fell silent again. Everyone hesitated and dared not step forward. Finally, Mrs. Yuan, who was always outspoken, stood up.
"Little Princess, we sisters just want to buy more cosmetics, so I want to ask you, when can we open the shop?"
Everyone looked at each other, and then all looked at a certain little kid.
They are so envious and want it so much! Madam Su looked embarrassed, "This..."
When Chu Yaoyao first heard it, she was quite happy, but later she was so embarrassed that she dug her toes into the ground.
As she spoke, Cui looked around but found no one.
In the end, I felt numb.
In the following time, the main hall was plunged into a strange atmosphere.
Chu Yaoyao had a wooden face and fiddled with the wooden sword with her fingers.
[Just say what you want to say. It's scary to have so many eyes staring at me.]
Chu Yaoyao was looked at so hard that she felt uneasy and uncomfortable all over.
"Mother, the princess is here!"
Seeing this, Cui breathed a sigh of relief, took Mrs. Lin's hand and patted it gently.
【It turned out to be because of this matter. 】
"I'm afraid that by then, all of us sisters will be asking you for help."
"Greetings, Her Royal Highness the Princess."
As soon as she saw her expression, Cui knew what she was thinking. Thinking of Yier's illness, she also sighed.
Everything from her facial features to her clothes were praised to the utmost. The last lady who spoke suddenly changed her tune and took a different approach.
"Yes, yes. She is smart, clever, well-behaved and cute."
…
"Thank you very much."
"There are too many people here, so she went out to get some quiet time. As for her illness, it's still the same."
[Why do I have a bad feeling? ]
She looked toward the door expectantly.
"Didn't the little princess choose your shop? If there really was something good, would she forget you?"
Seeing her dilemma, Mrs. Lin stepped forward to help her, skillfully standing between the two of them, and then looked at Mrs. Yuan.
"You guys, what's going on?"
Everyone pushed her and she pushed me.
Madam Lin smiled at her and said, "Cousin, we are a family. Why are you being so polite?"
The ladies and girls praised him to their heart's content one by one.
Chu Yaoyao pursed her lips and did not answer immediately.
After hearing this, Su Yingying, who was standing by, looked at her mother with a slightly scrutinizing gaze.
Meeting her gaze, Cui smiled awkwardly.
Seeing her expression, how could Su Yingying not guess? She quickly ran to Cui and looked at her disapprovingly.
"Mother, didn't we agree before that we wouldn't let others know? Why did you take it out and use it in public?"
“Also, I see that people are very enthusiastic about cosmetics, which is also a good thing.”
"You...Ouch!" Su Yingying stomped her feet.
Chu Yaoyao's gaze also fell on Cui.
[Yes, this publicity effect is great. ]
She grinned at everyone.
In her eyes, these are gold ingots!
"Dear aunts and young ladies, Qingyao Pavilion will open next month, so don't worry."
"We will sell another batch of cosmetics tomorrow. The quantity is limited, so it's on a first come, first served basis!"
Upon hearing the good news, everyone was pleasantly surprised and the discussion became increasingly heated.
"Very good!"
"I'll be waiting early tomorrow morning!"
"I'll have someone guard it tonight!"
Seeing that everyone was chatting more and more happily, Cui shouted loudly.
"Okay sisters, let's have some snacks first."
Then she looked at the personal maid beside her.
The maid bowed slightly, then walked out of the main hall. About an incense stick's time later, a group of maids came in carrying trays.
A plump maid with a mole at the end of her left eyebrow put a cup of honey and pear soup on Yaoyao's table.
"Princess, this is what my wife prepared herself. Please enjoy it."
Cui also looked at Yaoyao expectantly, "Yes, little princess, you can try it. Is it to your liking?"
Chu Yaoyao was just about to pick up the cup when she keenly noticed a burst of fiery gazes.
She looked up and saw the maid lowering her head in a panic.
【What's going on? 】
She reached out and touched the wall of the cup, and felt a burning sensation on her index finger.
[Drugs?!]
Chu Yaoyao's delicate eyebrows were twisted into a knot.
[This is strange. If she wanted to harm me, couldn't she just poison me? ]
[Or was she sent by the enemy of the Su family, hoping that something bad would happen to me in the Su family, and then kill someone with a borrowed knife? ]
Suddenly, her eyes lit up and an idea came to her.
[Could it be... Shangguan Chang did it?! ]
Ah Shi took out a silver needle and wanted to test it to see if there was any problem, but she stopped him.
Chu Yaoyao glanced at the maid who subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief.
[No, if it's exposed, how can I continue watching this show? ]
Seeing that she didn't move, Su Yingying thought that she didn't like to drink, but she didn't want to embarrass her mother in front of everyone.
She walked over quickly.
"Princess, I haven't had the pear juice cooked by my mother for a long time. Can you let me drink this cup?"
As she spoke, she reached out to take it.
Chu Yaoyao came back to her senses, picked up the cup first, and drank it all in one gulp.
After drinking it, she wiped the corners of her mouth, and then followed this action by putting a detoxification pill into her mouth.
Seeing this, the maid with a mole at the end of her eyebrow slightly raised the corners of her lips, but was afraid that others would notice something was wrong, so she quickly lowered her head and ran away.
But this could not be hidden from Chu Yaoyao who had been staring at her.
[I want to see what tricks you guys are up to! ]
On the other side, Mrs. Lin looked at her cousin's wife beside her with a little nervousness.
Under the other person's encouraging gaze and thinking of her daughter who was suffering from illness, she slowly stood up.
Although the little princess may not know the answer, she has to ask.
At this moment, there was a noise outside.
A servant came running over and reported with a sad face.
"Madam, two Taoist priests came outside and insisted that there was a demon in our house."
"Bang!"
Cui slammed the table heavily, "This is complete nonsense!"
"Where did this liar come from? How dare he come to our Su family?!"
"Why don't you kick them out quickly? Don't offend the noble man!"
