Jiang Wanyue, as a veteran white lotus, was almost bewitched by He Lin. She calmed herself down, thought about the purpose of her attending the banquet, and then looked at Xia Guangquan who was at a disadvantage.
Damn it, He Lin is too skilled. I don’t know if he has an expert guiding him. Otherwise, how could he solve the problem so thoroughly?
No, we have to light another fire!
Jiang Wanyue looked around and came to a girl in orange clothes. She bumped into her as if by accident, then apologized and went to find other noble ladies, joining them in sympathizing with He Lin.
The girl in orange looked at Jiang Wanyue's back, her eyes flashing.
She is a distant relative of Jiang Wanyue's aunt, named Zhou Shuling. Her father works in the Bingmasi, and Xia Guangquan's father is her father's immediate superior.
The reason she could come to the flower-viewing banquet today was thanks to Jiang Wanyue.
Moreover, Jiang Wanyue helped her get in touch with two noble ladies from prominent families through this banquet.
Just now at the garden party, she helped the two ladies grab the limited edition fragrances they wanted, and now she has become their new best friend.
Zhou Shuling had already discussed this with Jiang Wanyue and was ready at any time.
She bit her lip slightly. Xia Guangquan was currently at a disadvantage and had lost face. If she could help Xia Guangquan reverse the situation, then her father could still climb up the big tree of commanding the military forces.
After Zhou Shuling made up her mind, she took out a handkerchief from her sleeve and wiped the non-existent sweat from her temples.
Xia Guangquan was the target of public criticism and argued with the noble ladies until they were red in the face. In terms of quarreling skills, the four younger brothers he brought with him were no match for these noble ladies who grew up in the backyard.
It is no exaggeration to say that Xia Guangquan was almost angry to tears.
He wanted his father to come forward and deal with the He family, and then have his aunt give these young ladies from official families a lecture, ruin their marriages, and make it impossible for them to get married!
But if he calls him elder now, doesn’t that mean he has lost and cannot win?
Just as Xia Guangquan was gritting his teeth, he heard one of the noble ladies exclaim, "Shuling, what happened to your face? Why is it so red and swollen? You can even see bloodshot!"
Everyone's attention was drawn to that, and they saw two girls pointing at the face of a girl in orange clothes in surprise.
The left side of the orange-dressed girl's face was swollen as if she had been beaten. There were red spots on the exposed skin, which was extremely scary.
Someone took out a small mirror bought at the fair and looked at the girl in orange. The girl in orange immediately burst into tears.
Someone nearby asked with concern: "Were you bitten by some bug?"
Zhou Shuling shook her head: "No, I'm fine this morning."
A noble lady who was somewhat knowledgeable in medicine asked, "Does that mean she has rose fever?"
Rose fever is an allergy to fresh flower pollen, but the concept of allergy did not exist in ancient times.
Zhou Shuling shook her head: "No, if I had, why would I come to the flower viewing party?"
At this moment, another noble lady screamed in despair: "Wait, a rash is starting to appear on my face, what's going on?"
At this moment, the box of aloe vera gel distributed at the garden party fell out of Zhou Shuling's hand.
This small box instantly attracted everyone's attention. Everyone stared at the aloe vera gel box and instantly made an association.
Zhou Shuling whispered, "Is there something wrong with the aloe vera gel that was distributed?"
After Zhou Shuling reminded Bu Shujing, the noblewoman who also had a rash, she suddenly realized: "I remember now, my face felt dry before, and after applying this aloe vera gel, a red rash appeared on my face."
Hou Xiaoxiao immediately became alert. This guy might be a scammer. What good day is today? All kinds of monsters are bumping into each other. "But when we got off the carriage, everyone felt their faces were dry and applied aloe vera gel. Why did only two of them have a reaction? This is a bit strange. Let's send the two girls back to let the doctor take a look."
Zhou Shuling suddenly felt aggrieved. She looked at Hou Xiaoxiao with tears in her eyes and saluted respectfully: "Does your Highness think this is my fault?"
"My lady's face is very important. Princess, you know how important it is for a girl. How could I possibly joke about my own face?"
Bu Shujing, who also had a rash on her face, was really angry after listening to Zhou Shuling's explanation. Her grandfather was the Duke of Anguo, so she was more daring than Zhou Shuling to say, "Maybe it's the two bottles we are using that have problems! How could there be any mistakes with the things given to you, the princess? I think the He family is just treating people differently!"
Hou Xiaoxiao frowned. The two concubines beside her were already starting to get angry. They had been using this aloe vera gel for so long without any problems, so why were these two people speaking in a sarcastic way to their own princess? They were so bold!
The two concubines were about to establish the authority of their princess but were stopped by Hou Xiaoxiao. The focus at the moment was not this, and they would settle the score for dragging themselves into this trouble later.
Hou Xiaoxiao had clearly noticed the changes in the expressions of the people around her. The noble ladies had become worried and took out small bronze mirrors to observe their faces, while some looked at He Lin.
He Lin dragged his weak body and said sincerely: "My He family wants to do long-term business in Beijing. How can we take such a big risk and let such a long preparation fail?"
What He Lin said made a lot of sense and calmed everyone down.
Things are happening so frequently today, could it be that someone is targeting Mr. He behind the scenes?
After He Lin finished speaking, he walked over to comfort the two ladies who had rashes on their faces: "Don't panic, ladies. I have sent someone to invite a doctor."
"If this matter is the fault of my He family, I, He Lin, am willing to pay ten thousand taels of gold as compensation, ask to be imprisoned on the charge of fraud, and take responsibility from beginning to end."
He Lin's attitude was very good, making people feel like they were in the spring breeze. With the bonus of his good looks, Bu Shujing's attitude softened, and she blushed unconsciously when she spoke to He Lin: "Since Mr. He said so, then, I will trust Mr. He for the time being."
Zhou Shuling felt a little nervous when she heard He Lin say that the doctor would be here soon, but Jiang Wanyue said that even the imperial physician from the palace would have difficulty seeing the poison on the handkerchief.
He Lin said in a clear voice: "Today's events are one by one. Please give me some time to investigate this matter thoroughly."
"No need to give Master He any more time. I have already asked someone to invite the troops from the Military Affairs Department!"
Xia Guangquan was finally able to hold his head high at this time. He was so sleepy that he finally got someone to hand him a pillow!
"There's something wrong with your He family's stuff. How can you investigate yourself?"
The Bingmasi was in charge of the capital's public security. If any merchants in the capital committed fraud, they would be responsible for arresting them.
"Everyone says your aloe vera gel works quickly. Is it mixed with some medicinal herbs with side effects? Other rouge and powder shops don't dare to mix it in."
"Otherwise, if there is such an effective herbal medicine as an ingredient for skin cream, why don't other cosmetics shops use it? Why don't the nobles in the palace use it?"
