As she spoke, He Jiuniang checked the dosage with great concern.
In just three days, she has already used quite a lot. It's true that you don't feel bad about using things if you don't spend your own money. The normal dosage is three months, but at her rate, it would be a miracle if it lasts for two months.
Others were at a loss for words to describe their feelings. This guy tried to take advantage of others and ended up ruining his face. They didn't know whether to laugh at him or pity him.
And they actually thought the things at Xingfeng Club were no good, but it turns out they used the wrong things. Isn't that ridiculous?
He Jiuniang sighed and said, "I had to ask Susu myself to confirm that this was a birthday gift for Madam Yao before I sold her this set. If I had known earlier that the young mistress wanted to use it, I would definitely have changed to another set!"
"Also, I need to make an explanation in front of all the ladies today. The skincare products I specially formulated are differentiated according to age and skin type. Everyone's skin type is different, and the products they need are also different. That's why you ladies need to go to a beauty salon to try them out once or twice to make sure they are effective on your face and won't cause acne or breakouts before you are qualified to buy them and use them at home."
"So it's not that I don't want to sell to you, it's just that I'm afraid of this situation! Look at the face of the eldest young mistress of the Yao family right now. If this is our club's fault, how disappointing would it be? All of you ladies trust the Lu family, how can we let you suffer losses?"
He Jiuniang took the opportunity to explain, thus generating goodwill for her club.
The ladies nodded repeatedly, as this was the first time they had heard such a statement, and they all found it quite strange.
Actually, they couldn't buy anything at the club these past few days and were even required to experience it a few times before they could buy anything. They were somewhat resentful. Wasn't this forced buying and selling?
But now, seeing Ma's face, I instantly feel that the money was well spent. Otherwise, becoming like Ma would be truly devastating.
The second daughter-in-law, Fan, was stunned. She remembered that she had tried to argue with her sister-in-law that day, but she lost and was quite annoyed. Now it seemed that she had escaped a disaster.
Looking at Ma's face again, there wasn't a single good spot on it; it was downright terrifying. I was immediately relieved that I hadn't managed to get it.
"Mrs. Lu, what... what am I going to do now? My face..."
Madam Ma didn't care about anything else; she had already lost face, so she could only pray that He Jiuniang would heal her face first.
The eldest son of the Yao family had only just learned of this matter. He realized that his actions had betrayed his wife, but instead of feeling guilty, he was furious. He felt that Madam Ma was utterly shameful for keeping his mother's things for herself, which had completely disgraced him.
Once all the guests have left, let's see if he doesn't teach this shameless slut a lesson!
Madam Yao felt extremely embarrassed today, but since the matter had already occurred, she still had to find a solution. So she said with a smile, "I'm sorry to have made everyone laugh. Please, Madam Lu, help me see if my eldest daughter-in-law can still be cured. Thank you for your trouble."
Without a second thought, He Jiuniang replied directly, "Of course it can be cured, but the medicinal materials needed are quite expensive. I haven't found any other substitutes yet, which is why my specially formulated skincare products are so expensive."
Because the materials are expensive, plus the cost of craftsmanship and recipes, it's naturally more precious than gold.
Ma's face rotted due to overnutrition, which was equivalent to being poisoned. She needed to be treated with equally expensive medicines, and it depended on whether Yao's eldest son was willing to spend money on his wife.
Madam Yao hesitated for a moment, then asked, "Approximately how much silver is needed?"
"About two hundred taels."
This might not be much to other wealthy families, but it was a considerable sum for the Yao family.
The family's savings had long been squandered by their two spendthrift sons. The two sons worked in the Qingshui government office, earning only a few taels of silver a month, which was not even enough for their own food and drink. Over the years, the family's expenses had been supported by the two estates that Madam Yao brought with her as part of her dowry. It was really heartbreaking to suddenly take out two hundred taels of silver to treat Madam Ma's face.
But with so many people watching, they can't just ignore Ma.
Madam Yao gritted her teeth, told the maid to fetch the money, and said to He Jiuniang, "No matter how much it is, we still need treatment. Thank you, Madam Lu."
Soon, the maid returned with two hundred taels of silver notes and two silver ingots worth twenty taels each, which served as payment for He Jiu Niang's medical consultation.
This is one of the few cases where He Jiuniang treated these wealthy and powerful families, and the amount she paid was relatively small. However, given the Yao family's current situation, it is truly rare that they are still willing to pay forty taels of silver for the consultation.
If it weren't to teach Madam Ma a lesson, He Jiuniang would never have accepted Madam Yao's money; she would have simply returned it to her later.
With more money in her hands, Susu can live a better life.
Yes, everything is for Xiao Susu!
Seeing He Jiuniang accept the money, everyone couldn't help but sigh again. It was really heartbreaking that a simple face reading would cost at least two hundred taels of silver.
Although they all have the money, no one's money comes easily, and it's still quite hard to spend so much at once.
"I'll go back and start preparing the ointment. The young mistress will apply it to the affected area three times a day, and she'll recover completely in about a month."
He Jiuniang was friendly and patient throughout, which earned her even more respect from the ladies. Despite her high status, she had no temper and was very friendly. No wonder her husband had such a successful career. It seems that this is something they need to learn from her.
"Mrs. Lu, will this... leave a scar?"
With tears in her eyes, Ms. Ma never imagined that she would suffer such a great loss because of her greed for small gains. She was now filled with regret.
"It will definitely leave a scar, but if you want to remove the scar, you can buy scar removal cream. Our beauty salon sells it. If you need it, Madam, you can go and have a look."
In fact, He Jiuniang could have simply added some scar-removing ingredients to the ointment, which would have solved the problem in one step. However, Ma Shi was really annoying, and she just wouldn't let Ma Shi have her way.
Trying to fleece her will come at a price.
One of the women said, "The scar removal cream made by Madam Lu is incredibly effective. I bought it from the clinic before. It works on all kinds of scars, and you can see results in one or two months. It's amazing!"
"Yes, yes, I bought it too. Madam Lu's medical skills are truly amazing!"
Everyone started praising her, but Madam Ma was a little unhappy. It was just a box of scar removal cream. Didn't He Jiu Niang like that money-losing girl? Couldn't she have given her a box because of their relationship?
If you let her buy it herself, how much would that cost?
