After separating from my mother-in-law, I raised my children, built a house, and filled the granary

The end of the village.

"I won't make the skin-beautifying pills anymore." Shen Yunwan made this decision out of the blue.

Lin Chengfeng didn't ask why, just nodded.

This was originally done just to pave the way for Ke Lai'an.

Nowadays, the temptation of skin-beautifying pills is too great, involving too many people and even costing the lives of Daya and her son.

After returning to the town from Ping'an Village, the news that Kelian had stopped producing skin-beautifying pills spread like wildfire in Hehua Town.

Regular customers are vying to buy the existing skin-beautifying pills.

The discontinuation of the production of the beauty pills not only caused a frantic rush of customers in Hehua Town, but also alarmed the Prime Minister Liu family in the capital.

When Tao Xuexi brought the skin-beautifying pills to Beijing to distribute to her younger sisters, Liu Yingyu bought them all.

Not only that, she also blocked the news about the skin-beautifying pills in the capital, and paid a large price to get back the skin-beautifying pills that Tao Xuexi had given away.

He also used the power of the Prime Minister's Office to suppress them so that they dared not spread the news again.

In just a few days, the skin-beautifying pills that were once popular among wealthy women disappeared.

The Liu family did this because after the imperial concubine Liu Yingyan used the skin-beautifying pills, not only did her allergies get cured, but her appearance also improved.

How can such a good thing be coveted by others, especially the Queen must not know about it.

Nowadays, the people who are fighting the most fiercely in the harem are the queen and the imperial concubine.

Both of them have extremely powerful families, and they have princes and princesses.

Now that the emperor is in his prime, he has not yet appointed a crown prince. As important officials in the court have repeatedly mentioned the need to appoint a crown prince to stabilize the country, the struggle between the queen and the imperial concubine has become more intense.

The dispute over the crown prince is not only a fight for the emperor's favor, but also a fight between the mother's family and the prince.

After experiencing the miraculous effect of the beauty pills, the imperial concubine ordered her family members not to allow the pills to enter the capital.

At least not now.

The reason why Shen Yunwan was still kept was that, apart from her, no one else could make skin-beautifying pills with miraculous effects.

Second, Lotus Town is too far away from the capital and poses almost no threat.

But now that the production of skin-beautifying pills has stopped, the supply of the imperial concubine's skin-beautifying pills will also be forced to stop. This is no small matter.

Before any orders were issued from the capital, Liu Ze was already as anxious as an ant on a hot pan.

When he dressed in casual clothes and visited the Lin family as Lin Chengfeng's classmate, Shen Yunwan was sure that he was the one behind the scenes fanning the flames.

She looked at Liu Ze's hypocritical smile and felt a chill in her heart.

"Sister-in-law, now that you don't produce skin-beautifying pills anymore, what are your old customers going to do?"

"It's not that serious. It's just a pill to strengthen your body. It's okay if you don't take it. After this incident, I also realized that even if it is a real skin-beautifying pill, there will be customers who don't see any effect.

What if it doesn’t work? Isn’t that the same as selling fake goods?

It would be better to stop production as soon as possible and keep the residents safe."

Shen Yunwan looked so frightened that Liu Ze couldn't persuade her any further.

He felt a little regretful for risking his life to force Shen Yunwan.

I thought she was no ordinary woman, but I didn't expect that she would be scared by a worthless life.

But, that secret recipe...

Liu Ze narrowed his eyes and said, "Sister-in-law, if the elders in the family want to continue taking the skin-beautifying pills, can you make some for me privately?"

He wanted to delay Shen Yunwan first so that he could report to the Liu family in the capital.

If someone in the palace wants skin-beautifying pills and he can't provide them, not only will he lose his official hat, but he will also lose his life.

As for how to get the secret recipe of the skin-beautifying pills from Shen Yunwan, we still need to plan carefully.

Sometimes, he also wanted to end it all and destroy the woman in front of him.

But this is a very bad idea, and the person in the capital doesn't want to do it either.

As long as she doesn't find a substitute for the skin-beautifying pills or get the secret recipe for them, Shen Yunwan will be safe.

"You are here to protect our peace. If I can do it, I won't refuse.

It’s just…” Shen Yunwan looked embarrassed.

"Sister-in-law, if you have any difficulties, please tell me and see if I can help you."

Shen Yunwan paused, then, as if ready to risk it all, "Actually, there's nothing mysterious about the production of skin-beautifying pills. The reason they have this effect is simply because I had a chance opportunity to try making them using the well water from Ping'an Village."

"It's just that recently, someone has contaminated that well, and the skin-beautifying pills made from it are exactly the same as before, but they don't have the same effect."

"You can also check this matter."

In order to shut up Liu Ze, a man with ulterior motives, Shen Yunwan did not put any potions in the last few batches of skin-beautifying pills, and of course did not sell them on the market.

Liu Ze wanted to see something from Shen Yunwan's eyes, but found nothing.

Of course he knew that Shen Yunwan had not put several batches of skin-beautifying pills on the market during this period, and he thought she was hoarding them and then raising the price.

I never expected that it would have no effect.

Just because of that well water?

How could that be? Du Yi had clearly told him that the secret recipe was the well water. It was Daya who told Du Yi.

He scoffed when he heard that. If the well really had such great effects, how could it still be Shen Yunwan's turn after hundreds of years?

Of course he didn't believe it, but he didn't stop Du Yi from making skin-beautifying pills according to the secret recipe provided by Daya.

Just as he expected, it turned out to be a fabricated lie. The well water was not that magical at all, and the skin-beautifying pills made from it had no effect other than filling the stomach if eaten too much.

Unexpectedly, after such a long time, Shen Yunwan told him about the same magical well.

When he was little, he traveled all over the country with his father Liu, so he had naturally heard many strange things, but how could the well water suddenly turn into magical water?

This is stranger than myth.

But looking at Shen Yunwan's serious expression, it didn't seem like she was lying.

Moreover, he had been sending people to secretly monitor Shen Yunwan, and it was indeed as she said, none of the skin-beautifying pills produced during this period were sold in the store.

The skin-beautifying pills sold by Kelian were all produced previously.

When he thought that the skin-beautifying pills were really no longer available, he felt annoyed and even had murderous intent in his eyes.

If it is really as Shen Yunwan said, it was just a chance encounter that led to the creation of the skin-beautifying pills.

Now that the well water has lost its effectiveness, the skin-beautifying pills have to be discontinued.

So, what value does Shen Yunwan have?

What's the point of keeping it?

As curious as I was about Shen Yunwan before, I now feel as much disgust towards her.

He suppressed his irritation and said goodbye to Lin Chengfeng and Shen Yunwan.

The two looked at each other.

He didn't return to the house until Liu Ze's carriage was out of sight.

"Will he have a backup plan?" Although Liu Ze always maintained a polite appearance, Shen Yunwan did not miss the ruthlessness that flashed across his eyes.

Lin Chengfeng pondered for a moment, "Probably not, at least not in the short term." He was skeptical about the well water. Besides, no matter what the secret recipe was, you were the only one in the world who knew it.

As long as people in the capital still need skin-beautifying pills, he will provide you with something for you.

After all, even if I set you up, I won't get the secret recipe."
