Even Rong Yehua had given in to Qu Li, so Ji Nianfu couldn't continue making trouble, so as not to cause trouble for her father and affect her career. Naturally, she could only apologize to Qu Li reluctantly.
Qu Li put away the scalpel in his hand and took out a short needle as thin as an ox hair from the space.
She slowly approached Ji Nian Fu.
The solemn and cold aura around him made Ji Nian Fu's heart beat like a drum, and she swallowed nervously.
Rong Yehua stretched out his hand to stop her. Qu Li raised the corner of his eyebrow and his tone was as cold as the coldest days of winter.
"Princess Ye Hua, do you think that this princess is a treacherous and evil person?"
"Princess Chen, Nianfu has already apologized to you!"
She was still a little worried that Qu Li would really put into practice what he had just said about taking advantage of his power to bully others.
After all, she was the Princess of Chen, and it was indeed Ji Nian Fu who was disrespectful to her at that time. If she really wanted to investigate, I'm afraid Ji Nian Fu would not end up well.
Therefore, she was afraid that Qu Li would really do something to Ji Nian Fu.
"Ye Hua didn't think so."
"Then please, Princess Yehua, move aside."
Qu Li's tone did not allow for any negotiation, and his eyes were extremely cold.
In the end, Rong Yehua gave way.
Those noble ladies who had been hiding far away before now looked at Qu Li as if they were looking at a Shura crawling out of hell, fearing that she would turn her spearhead towards them.
Qu Li glanced at them indifferently, then leaned closer to Ji Nian Fu.
Ji Nian Fu shuddered violently and wanted to step back.
"Miss Ji, Doctor Zhou has already said that there is nothing wrong with your foot bones. If you are worried, you can go find an imperial physician to take a look!"
Rong Yehua frowned and said nothing.
Qu Li raised the corner of her mouth and said sarcastically, "If Miss Ji has any problems in the future, please don't come to me~~"
Although what she said was the most ordinary sentence, Jin Yi Fu still felt as if her heart was being tightly gripped by a pair of hands, making even breathing seem like a luxury.
She clutched her sleeves nervously, looking at the woman standing so close to her.
She was so miserable before, how did she become so beautiful and so formidable?
Ji Nianfu stood there in a daze, not even feeling the sudden pain in her knee, nor realizing that Qu Li had walked past her and left.
Even after she was helped up by the maid and Rong Yehua, the expression on her face was still dazed.
Rong Yehua has always treated Qu Li as a waste and a weakling. She has never regarded Qu Li as her opponent.
But when she saw him today, she suddenly felt a little uneasy.
Can she get rid of Qu Li by herself?
She took another deep look at the noble ladies huddled aside. She was so angry that she snorted, instructed Ji Nianfu's maid to take good care of Ji Nianfu, and then left.
Qu Li came here today to seek Buddhist scriptures, but he didn't get any. Instead, he taught a lesson to a group of annoying noble ladies who were chattering.
When the shopkeeper saw her get on the carriage, he immediately came over with a few boxes of rouge.
"Princess Chen, these are the new rouge shades I've applied. Take a look."
Qu Li took out the silver and asked, "Is this enough?"
"That's enough, there's more!"
"Then use it to buy some sweet soup."
The shopkeeper didn't dare look at her directly until the carriage left, then he dared to look up.
Princess Chen was not actually such a scary woman. If those noble ladies had not spoken so harshly just now, she would not have argued with them.
Hearing the servant's questioning voice behind him, he withdrew his gaze and whispered, "If anyone comes to inquire about this matter, tell the truth."
"But those noble ladies..." The servant looked embarrassed.
You know, the shopkeeper used to teach them to speak one thing to one person and another thing to another. If they told the truth, wouldn't it be equivalent to offending these noble ladies?
What's more, among these people, Miss Ji is a big customer of their Yunxiangzhai.
"Just say what I tell you to say." The shopkeeper was so angry that he kicked the servant.
Qu Li sat in the carriage and opened all the rouge boxes to look at them.
"Princess, we're here."
Awang's voice came from outside the car.
Qu Li got off the carriage with rouge, and Changle hurried over.
"Seventh cousin, why did you suddenly buy so much rouge and powder?"
"Like?" Qu Li turned his eyes to look at her with a beaming expression.
"I do like it. You have no idea how hard it is to buy Yunxiangzhai's rouge and powder! For Ruowei's birthday, I was planning to buy her a box of the latest release, but I was told they were all bought by Jiianfu."
"oh?"
The original owner had no good impression of these noble ladies who liked to gossip, and Qu Li was the same.
Listening to Changle chattering about these things to her, the corners of her mouth curled up and her eyebrows curved.
"If we start selling these things in the future, we will definitely not let people like Ji Nian Fu in."
"Yes! You have no idea how annoying those people are!"
As she finished speaking, she suddenly realized something and looked at Qu Li, whose eyes were gentle, with uncertainty.
"Seventh cousin, what did you just say? Are we also selling Yunxiangzhai's rouge and powder?"
"Can't?"
"Of course, absolutely! But, Yunxiangzhai's rouge and powder are said to have a secret recipe. Other rouge and powders are not as delicate as theirs."
Qu Li smiled but said nothing.
No matter how delicate the rouge and powder of ancient times were, they were definitely not as good as those of her time.
She just tested the ingredients and found that the pearl powder contained a large amount of lead and the spices in the rouge also exceeded the standard.
In the short term, it can indeed whiten and beautify the skin, but long-term use of these things will inevitably lead to lead poisoning or heavy metal poisoning.
Changle held her arm, as excited as a little bird, "Seventh cousin, no matter what business you do, don't leave me behind!"
Qu Li reached out and poked her forehead: "Okay, I will definitely not leave you behind! But you have to keep it a secret."
"Keep it a secret?" Changle was surprised, and then she remembered that Qu Li had always wanted to divorce Xiao Xian. She felt sad, and her eyes naturally became a little gloomy.
Qu Li held her hand and said, "What I hate most is being ostentatious. Besides, the restaurant business is booming right now, and women's business is a highly profitable industry. If I become extremely wealthy and others envy me, I don't want to cause trouble for myself."
Changle obviously didn't believe it. Thinking about the relationship between Qu Li and Xiao Xian, she finally swallowed the words that were on the tip of her tongue.
"Okay, I'll keep it a secret for my seventh cousin."
Qu Li curved her lips and smiled slightly.
Of course, she didn't want to embarrass Changle. After all, she and Xiao Xian were blood relatives. But there were some things she didn't want people to misunderstand, so she gave them hope.
She and Xiao Xian were destined to be impossible, so naturally she didn't want Xiao Xian to know many things about her.
Qu Wenzhao walked over with Qiao Zi's support, smiling broadly. Seeing them laughing and talking about something, he asked with a gentle look, "What did the eldest sister and Changle talk about?"
Changle ran over and scolded Qiaozi for pushing the wheelchair over, then said with a smile: "Seventh cousin's wife is going to start a new business again!"
Qu Wenzhao was stunned for a moment, then his face flushed: "Eldest sister, can you take me with you?"
