CHAPTER 462: CHAPTER 462: YOU STARTED THIS TROUBLE

Pei Shu’er smiled, indeed there was a group of people who almost bought all the anti-aging cream as soon as it was launched.

With the whitening cream as a foundation, even though people didn’t have high hopes for the anti-aging cream, they at least thought it couldn’t go wrong.

Now, Baochun Hall was so angry watching Pei’s prosperity that they were grinding their teeth.

They had already sent people to besiege Pei’s, but it seemed to have little effect.

Firstly, Pei Shu’er’s industry had little connection with the local industry, and those few that were connected weren’t willing to go against Pei Shu’er.

In their eyes, Pei Shu’er was a god of wealth, and nobody was stupid enough to push the god of wealth away.

As for other schemes and machinations, they were often seen through before they even succeeded.

Especially in the confrontations with Pei Shu’er, every time they made a move, Pei Shu’er would predict it, blocking the Commerce Association’s actions completely.

"Tell me, why is it that our skincare cream is so effective, yet nobody comes to buy it?"

At that moment, a woman dressed in silk walked out of Pei’s Trading House, and Cui’er only had time to see her fair and delicate skin and a small gift box in her hands.

With one look, it was obvious she was a young lady from a wealthy family, with considerable purchasing power.

Cui’er brightened up and quickly called out.

"Hey, beautiful, come check out Baochun Hall. Our Baochun Hall’s skincare cream is really good and cheap, only two silver."

The woman slowly turned around, and Cui’er swallowed the words she was about to say.

This... this turned out to be that shrew, Li Shuhua.

At this moment, Li Shuhua’s skin was fair and delicate, even the previous pits and bumps were all healed, and having been with Pei Shu’er for a long time, even her overall temperament had changed.

Compared to Li Shuhua, Cui’er, who was older and had given birth, seemed less impressive.

Li Shuhua’s eyes showed faint emotion: "What, isn’t your Baochun Hall’s skincare cream known for ruining faces?"

As soon as she said this, many people gathered around.

Actually, this flaw was only known to foreign firms and people from Pei’s.

It had never been disclosed to outsiders.

Cui’er immediately got angry.

"Bullshit, our skincare cream is used by the empresses in the palace."

Li Shuhua laughed and said: "Yes, your skincare cream has no side effects while in use, but as soon as one stops using it, the face spoils faster than anyone else’s."

After saying this, she looked at everyone.

"If you don’t believe it, why not stop using it and see for yourselves?"

Cui’er said: "Don’t listen to her, she’s just jealous of everyone being young and beautiful."

Li Shuhua gently smiled.

"If you had said this before, it would have been true, but now, do you think there are many at my age in Jingzhou City who look better than me?"

Everyone looked at Li Shuhua and indeed felt she had become much more beautiful.

She had developed a woman’s charm, a composed demeanor, and her figure and complexion were impeccable—she was truly a stunning beauty.

Right after saying this, Li Shuhua left.

Sister Xian had ordered anti-aging cream and whitening cream a few days ago, and now they needed to be delivered to her.

Amazingly, these two creams could be used simultaneously, only one for the day and the other for night.

Cui’er wanted to curse from behind, but no matter what she shouted, Li Shuhua would not turn back.

Angry, she gritted her teeth and turned around to see Sun Wen standing behind her, his eyes fixedly watching the back of Li Shuhua.

When he saw her turn back, he absentmindedly asked.

"Is that really Li Shuhua?"

Being a woman who had been involved with Sun Wen for so many years without consequences, Cui’er naturally understood Sun Wen’s intentions.

This wretched man was once again interested in Li Shuhua.

When Li Shuhua returned, Sun Wen was standing at the shop door.

"Shuhua."

Li Shuhua paused, then slowly turned around.

Beautiful! Incredibly beautiful!

So beautiful that Sun Wen couldn’t take his eyes off her.

He took a few steps towards Li Shuhua, his eyes full of longing.

"Shuhua, do you want to come back and be the mistress? I can make you the mistress, as long as you come back to me."

Li Shuhua was stunned for a moment, then laughed, never having expected a day like this when Sun Wen was so infatuated with her in a low posture.

This was something she had once dreamed of.

But now, she no longer cared.

Sun Wen, to her, was like a piece of silver that had fallen into a cesspool.

By the time it was fished out, it was already stinking terribly.

Even if she were to reward it to the servants, she wouldn’t even spare a glance.

Li Shuhua said: "Please step aside."

Sun Wen was stunned, as Li Shuhua never had any backbone before; just a beckon of his finger and she would come over immediately.

Now, even with him taking the initiative, she was so indifferent.

While Sun Wen was sleepless at night, his mind full of thoughts of Li Shuhua,

People from the Yellow Department reported to Tang Zan and Pei Shu’er.

"Reporting to Young Madam, reporting to the master, the old Mr. Li from the Li Family has been found."

Pei Shu’er conveyed this news to Li Shuhua and arranged for the father and daughter to meet.

Both father and daughter wore expressions of disbelief.

With tears in her eyes, Li Shuhua thought her father had died before the New Year, so how was he now alive?

And Mr. Li was equally puzzled, knowing exactly what his daughter looked like, yet upon escaping from the jaws of death, his daughter had become a great beauty.

They shared their respective plights, both hating Cui’er and Sun Wen.

Li Shuhua was especially furious.

"It’s one thing that Sun Wen ruined me, but how could he also harm my father? I must make them pay the price."

Pei Shu’er smiled and said: "Now, it’s simple."

Baochun Hall was exposed for causing spoiled faces with its skincare cream, and some women stopped using it. Sure enough, their faces spoiled quickly.

This happened within just one day.

Thus, Baochun Hall was besieged.

Families who could afford to buy a two-silver skincare cream weren’t extremely wealthy, but they were at least well-off, and with them gathered at Baochun Hall’s door, Baochun Hall’s business came to a halt.

Cui’er gritted her teeth: "You should continue using it; it surely isn’t our skincare cream’s fault."

But upon saying this, the crowd grew even angrier.

"For merely two silver, do you think we’d harm you? We just want our faces to be healed."

Cui’er gritted her teeth: "Fine, just wait."

Entering the back hall to discuss the situation with Lin Shiyao, Lin Shiyao became silent.

She hadn’t expected the skincare cream to have such an effect.

In the past, wasn’t this precisely how it was used in the palace? Hadn’t there been no issues there?

However, her face quickly changed color; the palace was filthy, who knew how many twists and turns were involved there.

She immediately shook her head: "Sorry, I can’t appear in public."

Cui’er, having no regard for respecting Lin Shiyao, immediately became angry.

"The trouble was caused by you; if you don’t go, who will?"
