This action immediately led many people to misunderstand, thinking that it must be because the Yao family had fallen on hard times and the daughter-in-law could no longer afford good rouge, so she bought some substandard products, which caused her skin to become damaged.
If that's really the case, it would be terrible.
Many people covered their mouths and laughed, but dared not laugh too loudly. After all, the Yao family and the Lu family had a very good relationship now. If they laughed at them now, they didn't know how they would be able to curry favor with them in the future. It was better to keep it to themselves.
He Jiuniang kindly helped her up, but actually she was also holding her down to prevent her from struggling. She earnestly advised, "Young Madam, you must stay calm and patient in your current condition. I need to see the product before I can treat your symptoms. Otherwise, your condition will continue to worsen, and you'll be disfigured at such a young age! I don't need to tell you how important a woman's face is, right? Nothing is more important than your own health!"
Hearing He Jiuniang say this, the others also joined in the persuasion. Even Madam Yao said from the side, "Since that's the case, eldest daughter-in-law, you should behave yourself. While Madam Lu is here, she can still help you take a look. Otherwise, if your face is ruined, you'll suffer for the rest of your life."
As he spoke, he waved to the maid, who had been hesitant to go in, and only then did the maid, under pressure, go in to get the things.
Ma felt completely numb. How did things get to this point?
She really didn't want this to be exposed, but if she didn't, her face would be ruined.
He Jiuniang is right. A woman's face is very important. She is still young and cannot ruin her appearance because of this. As for offending He Jiuniang, it was He Jiuniang who insisted on seeing her. It has little to do with her. She can just explain it later.
In short, appearance is still the most important thing!
He Jiuniang watched as Madam Ma calmed down after her initial agitation and resistance. She smiled, a hint of anticipation in her eyes. "Don't worry," she thought, "she won't let Madam Ma down."
The others started whispering among themselves, thinking that He Jiuniang was really amazing. She could tell where the problem was just by looking at her. No wonder she was so popular at the clinic before. It was just a pity that she didn't go to the clinic anymore and didn't treat common illnesses. Even if they wanted to visit her when they had a minor ailment, they wouldn't dare, for fear of offending her completely and losing more than they gained.
Soon, the maid brought the skincare products in a small basket with the name of Xingfeng Club written on it.
Yes, this is the small basket that He Jiuniang directly handed to Susu's maid; she brought out the whole set.
When Madam Ma saw that name, her face turned green. Didn't this maid know to cover up the words?
The others saw it too, and the faces of those who had initially wanted to watch the show instantly turned sour.
The newly opened Xingfeng Club is incredibly popular; everyone present knows about it. However, Xingfeng Club's skincare products aren't something you can just buy with money. It depends on the amount you top up and the number of times you make a purchase. Since it just opened, many people can't buy them yet.
But the Ma family was already using it!
Just moments ago they thought the Ma family couldn't afford good things, but now it seems they were the clowns.
However, if the maid brought out the things from Xingfeng Club, does that mean that Madam Ma's face rotted because she used this stuff?
No way! The quality of products from the Lu family has always been guaranteed, how could such a problem occur?
The surroundings fell silent instantly, and everyone watched He Jiuniang with some tension, wondering how she would handle the situation.
"Huh? Aren't these my skincare products?"
He Jiuniang blinked in surprise, and before anyone else could speak, she looked at Susu and asked, "Susu, isn't this the birthday gift you bought for your grandmother? How did it end up here?"
Su Su didn't know why either. She shook her head and looked at her little maid. Upon seeing this, the little maid immediately knelt down: "Miss, I deserve to die! After I brought it back that day, the young mistress said she liked it very much. Her face was a little rough these days, so she asked me to use it for her first. She said she would go and get more for the mistress when all the goods were ready."
Seeing that her maid had betrayed her so easily, Madam Ma could only force a smile and say, "Yes, yes, I went to the club that day too, but I couldn't buy it. I thought Susu knew Madam Lu, so I used it first. I was going to tell Mother, but I forgot. Oh, my brain..."
When Ma saw her mother-in-law's gloomy face, she immediately felt guilty and quickly tried to explain.
Madam Yao was furious. How could this fool talk like that? He suddenly admitted everything, and she couldn't even speak up for him.
The expressions on everyone's faces became even more interesting. How dare they keep the gift that their niece gave to her mother-in-law?
"How can Madam Ma be so petty? She even dares to stop her mother-in-law from getting her things. The Yao family is too unruly. If this were my daughter-in-law, she would definitely be punished according to family rules, otherwise she will never learn her lesson!"
One of the ladies, who was about the same age as Madam Yao, spoke with disdain. She looked down on the Yao family and would not have come here today if it weren't for getting closer to He Jiu Niang.
"Yes, it's one thing for a daughter-in-law to disrespect her mother-in-law, but to bully her little niece is truly an eye-opener!"
Once the first person is mentioned, a second one will naturally follow, and the comments will become increasingly harsh.
This behavior is indeed very ill-mannered, and it's no wonder that people couldn't help but say something.
Ma's face turned very ugly. She was usually quite shrewd, so how could she say such a thing?
She should first shift the blame to her mother-in-law, and after dealing with these people, apologize to her mother-in-law behind closed doors. Anyway, this kind of thing has happened before.
But today, her mouth was completely out of control. Although she tried to be tactful, everyone could tell that she deliberately kept her mother-in-law's things and was making excuses not to admit it.
Such behavior is both stupid and foolish.
Ma was starting to panic. Today was such an important occasion, a chance for the Yao family to turn things around. What if it was ruined because of her?
At this moment, Madam Sun stepped forward and said, "This thing is only sold in three sets a month. How can we sell them all to your family? Besides, it's not suitable for young women like you to use it! This is such an expensive thing, and look how you're using it. What's that called again? It's a waste!"
Sun's words piqued everyone's curiosity again: only three sets are sold a month, so who can afford to buy them?
And what did she mean by saying that it's not suitable for young women?
He Jiuniang, however, still looked heartbroken and said, "Young Madam, you can come to me if you want to buy something! This is a product I specially picked out for Madam Yao's birthday celebration. The formula is too rich in nutrients and is only suitable for ladies over forty years old. Young Madam, you are so young and your skin can't absorb it. The excess nutrients have caused your face to break out!"
