Marrying a concubine and swallowing her dowry? The mistress turns around and marries a high-ranking

Chapter 158

On the carriage back to the Yongning Marquis's residence, Qin Jianxi said to Shen Lingjun, "Mother, don't worry, Madam Liu's soap won't be on the market for long."

Shen Lingjun wasn't worried at all. Seeing Qin Jianxi, a little child, saying such things in such a serious manner, she assumed that Qin Jianxi was just trying to make her happy.

She smiled and touched Qin Jianxi's little face: "Then I'll accept your auspicious words, Jianxi."

Back at Yufei Courtyard, Qin Jianxi immediately plunged into the small kitchen.

Shen Lingjun didn't care what she was doing. Her two children were very easy to take care of and didn't require her to keep a constant eye on them.

As Shen Lingjun predicted, Liu Manman's soap ran into problems in less than ten days.

The first person to come to our door was a young lady from a collateral branch of the Chu family.

Despite being a collateral branch, the Chu family held immense power and status in the capital. This sixth young lady of the Chu family was still arrogant and domineering. As soon as she entered the shop of the Marquis of Yongning's residence, she began to shout angrily.

"Shopkeeper! Come out here! And call your boss out too! Look at the state your soap has left my face!"

Liu Manman happened to be in the shop at that moment. She came out with the shopkeeper, and when Miss Chu took off her veil, her face startled Liu Manman.

Miss Chu's face was covered in a large, red patch, as if she had been burned, which was quite frightening.

Miss Chu raised her eyebrows and said angrily, "What kind of soap is this? I bought the most expensive one. They bragged like it was going to make your face beautiful and radiant, but after washing my face for two days, it looks like this!"

It was the busiest time of day in the morning when the store was busiest. As soon as Miss Chu made her fuss, people inside and outside the store gathered around to watch the spectacle.

Liu Manman stepped forward in disbelief to take a closer look at Miss Chu's red and damaged face.

How could this be?

She definitely added a lot of beauty-enhancing herbs to her high-end soaps! And they're all absolutely non-toxic!

Her modern perspective also made her pay more attention to hygiene during the soap production process, so it's safe to say that what she makes is definitely clean!

Liu Manman asked suspiciously, "Miss Chu, are you allergic to some of the ingredients in this soap?"

Miss Chu: "What allergy! I've never been allergic to anything since I was a child! It's clearly your soap that's the problem, don't try to shift the blame onto others!"

How could Liu Manman possibly admit it: "You say there's something wrong with my product, but there's no evidence to prove that your face became like this after using the soap..."

"Me too! I can prove it too!"

As the sound rang out, another woman rushed in from outside the shop.

This woman must be an ordinary commoner from a relatively humble background, as she was dressed in simple cloth.

The woman stretched out her hands, which, like Miss Chu's face, were red and even starting to peel.

"I bought your soap to wash my clothes, and after a few days, my hands started to hurt more and more, like they were on fire. They've turned into this state today!"

The woman's family owned a pig slaughterhouse, and their clothes were often greasy and difficult to wash. She bought a strong degreasing soap, thinking it would finally clean their clothes.

For the first two days, it was fine; her hands just felt a burning sensation when they touched the soap. She thought that was just how it was and didn't want to give up this great product she had managed to snag, so she continued using it for a few more days. But it got worse and worse, and now her hands hurt so much that she can't do any work anymore.
