Chapter 170 Who will be startled by beating the grass
"We have to alert the enemy. Li Er, you have been managing Huichuntang for a while, so you should understand the principle that a big tree attracts the wind."
Thanks to the plaque bestowed by the emperor, Huichuntang became famous instantly, and the beauty serum it launched later became an item that the noble ladies in Beijing competed for.
It seemed that whoever got the beauty serum would have a slightly higher status and position. That was why she stopped selling the beauty serum.
But the emergence of counterfeit products now reveals one thing: someone has already reached out to Huichuntang. Instead of waiting for the other party to come to the door, it is better to take the initiative.
Either wait and see, or strike with a fatal blow!
No matter which point it is, we must not give the other party a chance to breathe, otherwise it will lead to disaster sooner or later.
A lot of things have happened during this period of time, including Madam Chu's sudden change of doctor, the problematic medicine residue, and the assassin. If she is not more careful, the people around her will be implicated as well.
The purpose of the other party doing this was nothing more than to make her surrender, but she refused!
After hearing all this, Li Er already had a general understanding of Ye Qingluo's plan. After all, Wang Jing knew about the bottle matter and brought people to the place where the bottle was made, so he had a great responsibility.
Li Er lowered his head, his eyes full of guilt, "Madam, I will post the notice tomorrow morning. Is there anything else I can do?"
"Didn't I make myself very clear just now?"
Seeing that Li Er was in a low mood, Ye Qingluo thought that he was blaming himself for the bottle incident, so he reminded him, "Li Er, regret can't change the result. Since the incident has happened, we should think about how to solve it."
"Being bothered by useless emotions will only make it difficult for you to move forward."
"Thank you, madam, for your advice." Li Er cupped his hands, feeling admiration and gratitude in his heart. He was so lucky to be valued by the madam and also receive her guidance.
He will keep this trust in his heart for the rest of his life and will never dare to let it down for even a moment.
After staying in Huichun Hall for a while, Ye Qingluo set out to return to the Marquis' Mansion.
"Madam, did something happen to Li Er?"
As they were almost reaching the Marquis' Mansion, Cuizhu finally expressed the doubts in her heart.
Whether it was Caiyue or Li Er, one of them ran a restaurant while the other managed Huichuntang, and although she stayed by the lady's side every day, the role she could play was really too small.
"At the restaurant, Su Yun told me about something called essential oil, saying it was more effective than beauty serum."
"Essential oil?" Cui Zhu was stunned. "Isn't that something Madam gave to the Imperial Concubine? How could Miss Su have it?"
“Not only that, even the pattern on the bottle that holds the essential oil is exactly the same as the pattern of Huichuntang’s characteristics.”
Seeing Cuizhu was confused, Ye Qingluo simply explained what he meant.
"The pattern is made by me using a kind of herb. It will form a special pattern when it is stained. If you don't know the method, it is impossible for others to imitate it. The only one who knows this is Li Er."
Cuizhu opened her eyes wide and became emotional. "Madam, are you saying that Li Er betrayed you?"
"It can't be him."
Ye Qingluo rejected it. “Li Er has been managing Huichuntang for such a long time. I still have confidence in his character and personality. That’s why I want to know what went wrong.”
"Ma'am, have you found the reason?"
