Chapter 1422: Chapter 1360: Seizing the Opportunity to Promote

You’re extorting us!

As soon as Bai Xiaobai said this, the crowd erupted, accusing the woman relentlessly.

The woman turned pale and shrieked, "No, no, it’s not true. It’s clearly because of the cosmetics from your place..."

"Your face is corroded by the Five Poisons Insects’ liquid, it’s going to rot and if not treated, the poison will spread to your heart and lungs, leading to death. Didn’t you notice your heartbeat racing over the past couple of days?" Bai Xiaobai gave her a puzzled look, as if she wasn’t extorting him but was merely a patient.

The woman’s face turned ashen, clutching her chest, she stared at Bai Xiaobai in shock, trembling, "I, I..."

Wufu whispered a few words into Jadeite’s ear.

Jadeite jumped out and shouted, "Ah, so you were sent by someone to extort our Zining Pavilion. Tell us, who instructed you! You better not deny it. This Divine Doctor treats the Crown Prince, whatever he says is true. Five Poisons Insects’ liquid, Divine Doctor Bai, if untreated she’ll die, right?"

"Without detoxifying the poison, of course she’ll die!" Bai Xiaobai gave her a look saying ’Are you an idiot?’

Jadeite’s lip twitched, thinking it’s just an act, she wouldn’t bother with this fool.

"Did you hear that?" Jadeite glared coldly at the woman.

Upon hearing she could die, the woman slumped, exclaiming, "I, I didn’t know, I don’t want to die!" She lunged at Bai Xiaobai: "Divine Doctor, I don’t want to die, please save me."

"You tried to extort us, and you want me to save you?" Bai Xiaobai spat: "I’m not some holy father."

Wufu lowered his head, barely restraining his smile, thinking this expression was truly spot-on!

The woman screeched, "I didn’t know, someone gave me one hundred taels, told me to take this powder here to cause trouble, and I’d get another one hundred taels afterwards. She applied the powder with a handkerchief on my face, and then it turned out like this, I know nothing!"

The other party said that after this, if I drink some mung bean soup, I’d recover. How could I end up dying!

"Ah, the truth is out!" Jadeite yelled again, "That’s right, our cosmetics, all come from the Divine Doctor’s formula. Even the Crown Prince’s consort uses our cosmetics. How could it cause your face to rot? This is a conspiracy, someone is just envious of our Zining Pavilion’s fine products! Tell us, who instructed you!"

Bai Xiaobai frowned, feeling like he’d been put in a difficult position, but wisely kept silent to avoid making Wufu upset.

Eunuch Hai listened from the side, glanced at the maidservant, then at Wufu who stood nearby, slightly raising his brow, thinking could they be using the Crown Prince?

But Divine Doctor Bai is indeed the savior of the Crown Prince, he promised to oversee matters, and since this shop holds his stakes, naturally he must oversee it.

"Impudent wench, how dare you commit such vile acts. Guards, take her to Shuntian Prefecture Yamen, and ensure we uncover the mastermind behind this!" Eunuch Hai kicked the woman over, after which two guards stepped forward to drag her away.

The woman screamed and protested her innocence, but her husband and son had already vanished without a trace.

"Everyone understands now, our cosmetics are all made from the finest ingredients with formulas from the Divine Doctor. They may be pricey, but the quality is assured, each box has an anti-counterfeit code." Jadeite proclaimed loudly to the onlookers, "Our Zining Pavilion promises no deception, any product found lacking in quality is immediately recalled and destroyed, after all, these powders are applied to the face, and a woman’s face is of utmost importance!"

"Good!"

Once she finished speaking, applause rang out.
