The Road to Becoming a Son-in-Law

Chapter 341 Allergies

He Fei asked, "Which sample did Miss Zhao use just now?"

A shop assistant stepped forward, holding a box with beautifully engraved patterns, and handed it to He Fei, saying, "Miss He, this is it."

He Fei and Hua Wushang each took a little powder from the box and rubbed it on the back of their hands.

He Fei brought her hand closer and smelled it. It had a faint fragrance, but apart from being whiter, there were no red spots on her hand after applying the powder.

Hua Wushang stared at Miss Zhao's face for a long time, her expression serious, but also showing concern for Miss Zhao.

Miss Zhao is a regular customer of Guose Tianxiang. Hua Wushang has met Miss Zhao many times and they are quite familiar with each other. If it were someone else, Hua Wushang might suspect that someone was deliberately framing Guose Tianxiang, but since the person in trouble is Miss Zhao, Hua Wushang knows that Miss Zhao is unlikely to be involved.

Moreover, Miss Zhao's swollen eyes and red spots on her face from crying were not fake.

He Fei looked at the red spots on Miss Zhao's face with a serious expression.

(She made this pollen herself, and its effect is similar to modern foundation cream. However, since some ingredients were not available here, He Fei used extracts from other plants as substitutes.)

He Fei had personally tested it before, and this pollen had no other side effects, and even had some benefits.

However, He Fei was proficient in both medicine and toxicology. After seeing the red spots on Miss Zhao's face, He Fei knew that the red spots were not fake or pretentious. However, He Fei knew that the pollen she had researched could not have any other problems, and she had just tested it.

Miss Zhao would never frame Guo Se Tian Xiang, and the pollen couldn't be the problem, so there must be another reason.

Hua Wushang called over a waiter who had been there the whole time and asked, "When did the red spots on Miss Zhao's face first appear when she used the pollen?"

Upon hearing Hua Wushang's words, Miss Zhao's maid angrily said, "Boss Hua, what do you mean by these words? Do you suspect that our young lady is deliberately framing your beauty and that the red spots on her face are fake?"

"No, you misunderstood," Hua Wushang explained. "I want to know what happened before and after Miss Zhao used the pollen. Only by finding the cause of the red spots on Miss Zhao's face can we solve the problem."

Hearing Hua Wushang's words, Miss Zhao's maid was still very angry, but in order to get rid of the red spots on Miss Zhao's face as soon as possible, she didn't say anything more.

Hua Wushang said to Miss Zhao, "Miss Zhao, don't worry. The injury on your face is due to the products of Guose Tianxiang. It is the responsibility of Guose Tianxiang. I will help Miss Zhao resolve it."

Miss Zhao's anger subsided a bit. She had been to Guose Tianxiang for so long and knew that Hua Wushang was not like other unscrupulous businessmen. Perhaps the red spots on her face had other reasons.

Miss Zhao, with her eyes red and swollen, said to Hua Wushang, "Then I'll have to trouble you, Boss Hua."

Hua Wushang came up to He Fei and asked, "Little Fei, have you figured out the reason?"

He Fei's expression was solemn. She felt that the red spots on Miss Zhao's face were familiar, as if she had seen them somewhere before, but no matter what she did, she couldn't remember.

"Sister Wushang, let me think about it."

After a while, He Fei's eyes suddenly lit up, and she said, "I understand."

"Little Fei'er, what do you know?"

“I know why Miss Zhao has red spots on her face,” He Fei said. “But I’m not sure yet. Sister Wushang, give me the pollen.”

After handing the pollen to He Fei, Hua Wushang looked at He Fei expectantly.

He Fei stared intently at the pollen, recalling its composition in her mind, before asking Miss Zhao, "Miss Zhao, are you allergic to cloves?"

Miss Zhao, unaware of He Fei's purpose in asking this question, nodded and asked, puzzled, "Could this be related to the red spots on my face?"

“That’s right,” He Fei said. “Sure enough, I guessed right.”

Miss Zhao asked in a daze, "Miss, please tell me quickly, what's causing the red spots on my face?"

He Fei didn't answer, but asked, "Miss Zhao, have you noticed that the red spots on your face look familiar?"

Ms. Zhao carefully touched the red spots on her face. After the red spots appeared on her face, Ms. Zhao was almost in a breakdown. She was only thinking about how her face was ruined and had no mind to think about the red spots on her face.

But after touching it carefully, Ms. Zhao remembered something and said to He Fei, "I think this is what happens when I have an allergic reaction."

“Could it be…” Miss Zhao frowned and said, “But these red spots, aren’t they because of pollen…”

“Exactly,” He Fei said. “Because one of the components of pollen is clove, Miss Zhao, do you understand now?”

Upon hearing He Fei's words, Miss Zhao was stunned, and then she understood. "So that's how it is."

Ms. Zhao said, "So it's actually because pollen contains cloves, and I'm allergic to cloves, that's why my face gets red spots."

Miss Zhao stopped crying and said apologetically to He Fei and Hua Wushang, "Miss, and Mr. Hua, I'm sorry. It turns out it was my own fault. I'm allergic to lilacs, not the pollen."

“Miss Zhao, there’s no need to apologize,” Hua Wushang said. “Although Miss Zhao’s condition was caused by an allergic reaction, it was also due to our pollen. It should be me apologizing to Miss Zhao.”

"No, it's not," Miss Zhao said anxiously, "it's my mistake."

Actually, when she was trying the pollen, she felt that the scent was somewhat familiar, but she didn't pay attention to it or think much about it at the time. If she had been more careful, none of this would have happened.

He Fei said, "I have some knowledge of medicine. I will write a prescription for Miss Zhao, and the allergy symptoms on her face will be eliminated in two days."

"No, no," Miss Zhao said hurriedly. "This has nothing to do with her stunning beauty, you mustn't do this."

Although she was tempted by the promise of eliminating allergy symptoms in just two days, she was too embarrassed to accept He Fei's prescription after having just wrongly accused Guo Se Tian Xiang.

"It's just a few doses of medicine, Miss Zhao, please accept it."

In the end, Miss Zhao accepted it and said gratefully to He Fei, "Thank you so much, Miss."

"This is what I should do."

The matter was resolved, and the other customers breathed a sigh of relief when they realized it wasn't because of the stunning beauty.

Most of them are long-time customers of Guose Tianxiang. If there were any problems with Guose Tianxiang's products, they would panic. Fortunately, it wasn't Guose Tianxiang's products that had the problem.
