"The people who assassinated Miss Yun were not from the Qi family."
A short sentence contains a wealth of information.
The Pei family and the Qi family are related by marriage.
It is reasonable for him to come forward and explain, and the problem with the Qi family's shop was not caused by the Yun family.
The Qi family was equally surprised when they heard this. "It seems that someone wants our two families to fight each other so they can reap the benefits."
Pei Shang frowned. "Then who does Uncle think it could be?"
"Hard to say."
"Once the misunderstanding is cleared up, let's wait and see. It won't be easy for the Yun family to take over the business in the capital."
"As long as it doesn't affect our interests, I don't advocate making enemies with the Yun family easily. Right now, the main thing is to find a way to send someone into the palace."
Qi Jia's goal was to become the empress.
The Pei family sent their daughter to the palace, but she only became a Noble Consort and has been unable to conceive for a long time, which is very detrimental to their plans.
“His Majesty has no interest in choosing an empress,” Pei Shang said.
The Empress Dowager and his elder sister put a lot of thought into this matter, but the emperor's mind was truly unfathomable.
"That means the person you sent didn't suit the Emperor's taste. If you send the right person, I think you'll definitely succeed. No matter how abstinent a man is, once he's been with a woman, he can't give her up."
“I’ve found a few stunning beauties; you’d better find a way to send them to the palace.”
Yun Xiyue learned to manage the shop from her mother. The Yun family's business gradually expanded into the capital, which attracted envy. It wasn't easy at first, and many problems arose.
"Madam, Miss, someone has come to cause trouble at our rouge shop."
"What's the problem?" Yun Xiyue put down the account book in her hand, got up and ordered someone to prepare to come out of the mansion to see for herself.
"Your rouge shop sells poisonous rouge! Look what you've done to my daughter's face!"
"Guards, smash this for me!"
From afar, I could see a group of people surrounding the rouge shop; I could tell from their voices that they were old acquaintances.
Yun Xiyue stepped forward and looked Shen Ling up and down. "Second Madam Shen, I am the owner of this rouge shop. You can talk to me if you have any questions."
"Yun Xiyue! Well, you actually sell poisonous rouge! Ling'er's face is ruined after using your rouge!" Madam Shen Zhou was furious and wanted to scratch her.
The shop was smashed, the tables and chairs were smashed to pieces, and even the rouge on the table was broken.
Shen Ling covered her face and cried.
Standing next to her was a young woman dressed in a pale yellow dress and wearing a veil. Her features were exquisite and beautiful; she was clearly a stunning beauty.
“Miss Yun, there is indeed something wrong with the rouge in your house. I bought the rouge as a gift for Ling’er. She used it for one night and her face was ruined the next day.”
It turned out to be Zhou Zhilan.
Madam Shen was furious, her eyes blazing with anger as she glared at her. "Let me tell you, this isn't as simple as just paying money!"
Yun Xiyue glanced at Zhou Zhilan and said, "Let me see the rouge you bought."
They kept all the evidence.
Shen Ling's maid immediately took out a small white jade ceramic jar. The rouge was a rose-red peach blossom powder, used for applying to the face, and was called Jade Face Peach Blossom.
"This is indeed our shop's peach blossom powder. However, if only the bottle you bought from the same batch of peach blossom powder has a problem, it doesn't mean that there's a problem with the rouge in our shop." After checking, Yun Xiyue found that the product was indeed problematic and had been laced with drugs.
"You want to deny it? No way! This bottle of rouge is from your shop. Since you admit it, it proves that you are a shady shop that sold us poisoned rouge, causing my daughter to be disfigured." Madam Shen snatched the item back, afraid that she would destroy the evidence.
Yun Xiyue said, "Our shop is open for business, not just for one-off transactions. No owner would be stupid enough to cut off their own source of income."
"Hmph, all you're trying to do is deny it."
Yun Xiyue sneered, "I have no intention of denying it. Since you insist that it is a problem in our shop, then let's report it to the authorities."
