The cruel little princess

Soon, Zhang Yuyan learned that Shen Youyou had opened a herbal medicine shop. Almost everyone in the circle of noble ladies in Beijing knew about it. They all praised her for her beauty, kindness, and excellent medical skills.

Zhang Yuyan was filled with jealousy and resentment after hearing these compliments. She thought, "Since everyone praises your medical skills and your herbal medicine shop, I will make you stumble miserably in the field you're so proud of, and never recover!" Then, with a twist of her eyes, a vicious plan came to her mind.

"Someone come here!" Zhang Yuyan shouted loudly.

"Miss!" The maid Feicui walked into the room upon hearing the voice.

"Fei Cui, you go..." Zhang Yuyan whispered her plan in Fei Cui's ear in detail, and made sure that Fei Cui had memorized it.

"Remember, this matter is known only to heaven, earth, you and me. You must never let anyone else know about it." Zhang Yuyan reminded again.

"Yes! Miss! Please rest assured, I will definitely get it done!" Feicui answered confidently, "I will definitely not let you down!" After that, Feicui turned and left, and began to arrange the plan.

Shen Youyou, who was completely unaware of the situation, was still busy as usual. She had no idea that someone was plotting against her behind her back. She was now fully devoted to her work.

Recently, she has been busy preparing facial masks for the girls at the beauty salon. Every day, she teaches these girls how to take care of their faces and skin, and even has special essential oils for their hair.

From head to toe, she meticulously cares for every detail. She tells the girls that skincare shouldn't just focus on outer beauty, but also inner health. Therefore, she teaches them how to choose skincare products that suit their skin type and how to use them correctly.

However, for these young girls, all this seemed a bit too luxurious. They originally thought that they came here just to receive some simple training, but they did not expect to enjoy such high-end treatment.

They couldn't help but wonder whether they were here to learn skills or to enjoy life. But as time went on, they found that their faces became more and more beautiful, and their skin became whiter and more delicate.

Their hair became soft, shiny and black, and their figures became slimmer and more graceful. This change made them feel extremely surprised, and at the same time, they were full of admiration for Shen Youyou.

Even the shopkeeper felt this change. As she looked at her increasingly youthful and beautiful face, her heart was filled with gratitude.

She realized that Rui'an County Master's professional knowledge and skills were indeed outstanding and could help people achieve the perfect combination of beauty and health.

Therefore, the female shopkeeper decided to promote Ruian County Master's training courses to more people so that more women can benefit from her wisdom and talent.

The female shopkeeper was transferred from the jewelry shop below by Liu Jianye. Previously, the jewelry shop she worked for had always been the most prosperous business! It has been fully proved that although she is a woman, her talent is not inferior to that of a man! But it was in this "training camp" of Rui'an County Master that she learned what "earth-shaking change" meant! What it meant to "completely change a person!"

Shen Youyou's busy days arrived on the 20th day of the twelfth lunar month. As usual, Shen Youyou arrived at the herbal medicine shop early. She first gave Zuo Qingqing acupuncture. After removing the needles, she prepared to sit in her room in the backyard. If there were special needs that required a consultation and then a herbal medicine prescription, she could go directly to the consultation. Of course, the cost would definitely be relatively higher.

Shen Youyou picked up the teacup, blew on it gently, and was about to drink the tea in the cup when a heartbreaking cry suddenly came from the shop in front.

"Someone's dead! Someone's dead! The medicinal food shop run by the Rui'an County Lord actually poisoned my master to death! Everyone come and take a look! Come and judge the matter!" A woman's sharp cry pierced through the crowd and reached Shen Youyou's ears.

Shen Youyou suddenly put down the teacup in her hand and rushed to the shop in front.

An Er appeared in an instant and reported to Shen Youyou anxiously: "Miss, there is a woman in front who claims that her master was poisoned after eating our medicinal food, and is now asking for an explanation." An Er quickly conveyed the collected information to Shen Youyou objectively.

Shen Youyou responded calmly: "Let me check the specific situation first." She didn't want to make a hasty judgment before seeing the relevant personnel in person.

An Er followed Shen Youyou closely, always staying alert so that he could protect the young lady at any time in an emergency.

Shen Youyou arrived in front of the shop and saw that the street was packed with people. It was already the 20th day of the 12th lunar month, and Chinese New Year was approaching, so every household was busy preparing for the New Year. When the woman called out, everyone gathered around to watch the excitement.

There were curious onlookers who started discussing, "Who is this person? Does anyone know him?"

"Is this Madam Ma from Changqing Street up ahead?! Tsk tsk tsk! So the one who was poisoned to death was Master Ma?!"

"What did he eat to be poisoned? Why is his entire body discolored? He's so swollen, I can't even tell if he's Boss Ma!"

"I heard someone was poisoned after eating the medicinal food from the Rui'an County owner's shop! Tsk tsk tsk! This medicinal food shop doesn't look safe either! You never know when someone could be poisoned! It's better not to buy from there!"

"Oh my god! What should I do? I was thinking of buying some medicinal food to nourish my family! Now that something like this has happened, who would dare to buy any?"

"Yes, yes! This medicinal food shop was opened by the county lady, and now someone has died of poisoning after eating something in it. This is really terrible!"

Several shop assistants used their bodies to help Shen Youyou clear a path.

Shen Youyou walked to the middle of the crowd. There was a stretcher on the ground, covered with a white cloth. Judging from the shape of the person, it seemed to be a man lying on it. His exposed left hand was already black. A woman dressed in gorgeous clothes and looking wealthy was kneeling beside him, sobbing softly, her expression filled with grief and indignation. Behind her were several young men and women in gorgeous clothes, who looked somewhat similar to the woman, but there was no trace of grief on their faces.

Seeing this, Shen Youyou frowned and asked, "Excuse me, what happened?"

"Who are you? Are you qualified to be the owner of this medicinal food shop?" The woman kneeling on the ground raised her head when she heard the voice. "I heard that this shop was opened by the Rui'an County Master! Now the medicinal food in your shop has killed people! Tell your county master to come out and give us an explanation!"

"This shop is mine! I am the Princess of Rui'an!" Shen Youyou said calmly. She knew that impatience in this situation would lead to falling into the other party's trap. She had confidence in her herbal medicine shop, the cooks, and the waiters. She believed that they would not do such a self-defeating thing as poisoning a customer. "What exactly happened?" Shen Youyou asked again patiently.

"You still ask what happened?! My husband is dead, and you still ask what happened?!" When the woman heard the woman in front of her say that she was the Princess of Rui'an County, she immediately stood up and raised her voice eight octaves, "My husband's surname is Ma! This is my husband Ma Rushan! Your herbal medicine shop opened some time ago, and my husband heard from others that your herbal medicine is very effective, so he ordered a month's worth of herbal medicine from your shop!" As she spoke, tears couldn't stop falling.

"But...but it happened this morning! My husband was poisoned to death after eating your medicinal food! Woo woo..." She cried and pulled off the white cloth on the stretcher, "My poor master! My master usually pays attention to taking care of himself and is very healthy! He took your medicinal food because he heard that it is more effective! As a result...he poisoned himself to death after eating the medicinal food! This damn harmful shop of yours should not be open!" The woman cried and was about to hit Shen Youyou, but was stopped by the clerk standing next to her.

"Oh my God! Please open your eyes! How can I live like this?! This county lord is so powerful! He poisoned my master and still refuses to admit it! Oh my God! Why don't you open your eyes and take a look!" The woman rolled on the ground, throwing a tantrum, as if she would not give up until she made a big deal out of this.

Shen Youyou was carefully observing the poisoned man. His entire body was swollen beyond recognition, his features bulging, his skin black, and his features completely unrecognizable. Shopkeeper Wang was also beside Shen Youyou, carefully examining the man's body on the ground. However, with so many people coming and going in the shop every day, and the body being unrecognizable, Boss Ma always sent his servants to take the medicinal food home, and he had rarely been to the shop, Wang couldn't tell if it was Boss Ma.
