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

Chapter 159

Two guests, one with a face problem, the other with a hand problem; a young lady from a noble family has a problem, a common woman from the marketplace has a problem—this is very convincing.

There is definitely something wrong with this soap!

Miss Chu was still aggressively questioning Liu Manman: "You're the owner of this shop, right? You made this soap too?... My face is like this, what are you going to do about it! You need to find a way to heal my face right now, or I'll peel your face off!"

Seeing a young lady from a prominent family like Miss Chu leading the charge, the woman grew bolder and followed suit, causing a ruckus.

"Master, look at my hands, they're practically rotting. I can't do any work anymore. I don't even know if they'll be ruined. I've been using your soap all this time. You should at least give me ten taels, no, twenty taels of silver in compensation..."

The two were arguing loudly, attracting a lot of attention. The customers who were initially eager to buy the soap were all scared away when they saw how harmful it was.

Liu Manman was driven crazy by the two women, so she quickly took out a twenty-tael silver note and sent the woman away. Then she spent a lot of time and effort to appease Miss Chu, and offered to pay for Doctor Jiang to examine Miss Chu's face, since she herself could no longer practice medicine.

After examining her, Dr. Jiang said that Miss Chu's face was burned. If it was caused by soap, it should get better after stopping its use. He then prescribed some topical medication.

Liu Manman kept a low voice and a smiling face throughout, carefully coaxing Miss Chu until she finally got rid of her.

Before leaving, Miss Chu threatened, "Get all these soaps off the shelves right now! Selling this kind of harmful stuff, aren't you afraid of being struck by lightning? If I ever see you doing this business again, I'll smash your shop every time I see you!"

Liu Manman had no choice but to agree repeatedly.

After all that fuss, there wasn't a single customer left in the shop.

Liu Manman had no choice but to reluctantly remove all the soaps from the shelves, but the matter was not over yet.

All the soaps we sold before were defective. In the following days, customers who had bought the soaps came to complain, all saying that their skin was red and painful after using the soaps, as if they had been burned.

Liu Manman had no choice but to pay out of her own pocket to get the medicine according to the external prescription Dr. Jiang had given her and keep it in the shop. She would give one to anyone who came. Sometimes, when she encountered some difficult customers, she even had to pay them back.

As a result, the shop's other businesses also became completely unsustainable. In total, they lost a large sum of money.

Those remaining soaps could no longer be sold and had to be discarded.

I just rented a workshop near the Yongning Marquis's residence, paid three months' rent, and purchased a lot of raw materials and equipment for making soap. Now it's all gone, and it's another huge loss.

After all this business, when I calculated the costs and benefits, I not only didn't make a single penny, but I also lost everything.

Liu Manman returned to the Yongning Marquis's residence in a sorry state, where she was summoned by Old Madam Qin and given a severe scolding.

"What are you messing around with! If you can't do it, don't show off! I just bought this shop, and I'm counting on it to make money. With what you've done, the shop's reputation is ruined. Who will come here to buy anything in the future!"

Liu Manman was so scolded that she couldn't even lift her head, but she couldn't refute it.

After all, her attempt this time was a complete failure.

But she was still unconvinced.

Failure is the mother of success. How many people can succeed on their first attempt at starting a business?

If soap doesn't work, she can try something else!

Qin Jianxi, holding something in her hands, happily ran to Shen Lingjun's side.
