After hearing the conditions promised by Yan Muxi, Princess Jin couldn't hide her surprise, "Does Madam Qian take what she said seriously?"

In the past year, she has spent a lot of manpower and money but has not been able to find the pills from Xiaoxiang Pavilion. If the Qian girl can provide her with life-saving medicine, she will find it difficult to refuse.

Yan Muxi said with certainty: "Although it is difficult to obtain the pills from Xiaoxiang Pavilion, it is not impossible for me to do it. If I cannot fulfill my promise to the princess, you can terminate our contract at any time. Whether I agree or not, the princess will not suffer any loss."

Princess Jin thought for a moment, and finally nodded in agreement, "I will accept the share of Madam Qian's shop. I can promise Madam Qian that as long as Madam Qian continues to supply me with medicine, Xianzitang will be able to earn money steadily in Bingcheng."

Having achieved her goal, Yan Muxi did not stay in Prince Jin's Mansion any longer. As soon as she walked out of the palace gate, Jingzhe came up to her quickly, "Oh no, Madam, something happened in the shop."

"What happened?" Yan Muxi's expression and tone were calm, as if he had expected it.

"Mrs. Qin, who runs a cloth shop, and the madams of two brothels came to our house and made a scene, saying that the girls in her family and the girls in the brothels all had ulcers on their faces because of using our skin care products." Jingzhe reported truthfully.

Yan Muxi asked as they walked, "So what are they going to do? Are they going to demand compensation or sue us at the government office?"

"The Qin family is clamoring to sue us at the government office, and the madam of the building said that their girls have rotten faces, and they want us to pay money to buy their girls with rotten faces. Each girl has rotten faces for 10,000 taels. There are 18 girls with rotten faces in total, and they want us to pay 180,000 taels of silver as compensation."

As Jingzhe finished speaking, Yan Muxi walked to the carriage. She turned around and said, "I still have to go to Magistrate Li's residence. You return to the shop quickly and tell Dongyu and Lichun that there is no problem with our Xianzitang skin care products. If the Qin family and the madam want to sue the government, let them go to the government office. If they continue to make trouble, just kick them out without mercy."

At the Li Mansion, when concubine Mei learned that Yan Muxi was coming, she specially changed into luxurious clothes and re-combed her hair to make it look more dignified and elegant.

The people who went to Xianzitang to cause trouble were sent by Mei. She guessed that Yan Muxi would come to her house for help, but she didn't expect that he would come so soon.

But it doesn't matter how fast or slow it happens, as long as you recognize the situation and beg for mercy.

But after Mei had packed up and waited for half a quarter of an hour, Yan Muxi still didn't come into the yard. She sent someone to inquire and only then did she learn that Yan Muxi had gone to the yard of his main wife, Qin.

"Send someone to Xianzitang and tell the Qin family and the madam to destroy the shop for me!" Mei's tone was flat, but her chest was heaving violently, which showed that she was not calm.

In the courtyard where Qin lived, Yan Muxi was invited to the flower hall for receiving guests. After waiting for a while, Qin came out supported by maids and old women.

"Greetings, Madam." Yan Muxi bowed politely.

"Mrs. Qian, don't be so polite. Please take a seat quickly!" Qin's expression and tone were indifferent.

Qin was born in one of the four great dukedoms of North Vietnam. She looked down on merchants from the bottom of her heart, especially the women of merchants who went out to do business in public. The reason why she was willing to meet Yan Muxi was simply for the sake of Princess Jin and the skin care set.

"Mrs. Qian, you have come to me despite your busy schedule. Is there anything you want to ask for?" Qin asked in a calm voice.

Compared to Qin's indifference, Yan Muxi's smiling face made her look more welcoming. "Madam, you misunderstood. I have nothing to ask for. I came here rashly to ask about the skin care products in the diamond set. Are you used to it? If you are not used to it, Xianzitang also has skin care sets with other functions. You can choose from more to try."

"Don't bother. The skin care products in the diamond set that Madam Qian gave me are very useful." Qin just said this. She had never been able to use the diamond set that Yan Muxi gave her.

At first, Qin didn't take the so-called skin care products seriously and had no intention of using them at all. Later, she learned that a set of diamond boxes was worth nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine taels, and she was reluctant to use them, so she sent them back to Shengjing as a Mid-Autumn Festival gift.

Qin was not able to use the popular skin care products, but became even more curious and wanted to try out the magic of the expensive new skin care products. Therefore, when Xianzitang opened for business yesterday, she secretly ordered her personal maid to go out and buy a set of copper skin care sets.

After trying them, Qin realized that those scented lotions and emulsions are indeed useful. They make the face feel moisturized when applied and have a natural fragrance. There is a reason why they are expensive.

The reason why Qin bought the cheapest copper-plated skin care products was because she was short of money, and spending dozens of taels was a considerable amount of money for her.

Unlike the well-run Weiguo Mansion, the mother's family of Princess Jin, the Qinguo Mansion has been in decline since the previous generation, and now only an empty shell remains.

When Qin got married, apart from the two shops, her dowry of dozens of pieces was all flashy and worthless.

After marriage, Qin followed Magistrate Li to Bingcheng to take up his post. She exchanged the two shops in Shengjing for shops in Bingcheng and opened a restaurant.

However, the Qin family was not good at doing business. At first, the restaurant could make some money because of the Li family's name. But ever since Mei, who was born into a merchant family, came into the mansion and opened two restaurants in Bingcheng one after another, the business of Qin's restaurant became worse and worse, and now it is no longer able to make ends meet.

Mei was good at making money. She was young, beautiful, and could seduce men. As a concubine, she climbed over the head of the mistress and not only took charge of the household expenses in the mansion, but also managed the revenue outside the Li Mansion.

Qin was sidelined by both inside and outside. If she had not come from a strong family and had her natal family's support, she would not even have been able to keep the title of the principal wife. She said to others that she worshipped Buddha and did not care about worldly affairs, but that was just an act of pretense.

Qin sent the diamond box to Shengjing and bought the cheapest copper box yesterday. Yan Muxi knew everything.

She saw through Qin's pretense of nobility but did not expose it. "Madam, as long as you think the skin care products are useful, it's fine. It will save me from the trouble. Skin care products should not be kept for a long time. Madam, use the diamond box in your hand first. When you are done, let the shop know and I will send someone to deliver it to your house."

Hearing this, Qin felt heartbroken. She wanted to use more expensive skin care products, but her face did not allow her to take other people's things for free.

If Yan Muxi gave her two sets as a gift, she would naturally accept them. But if he asked her to go to the shop to ask for them, how could she do such a shameless thing.

Not getting what she wanted, Qin no longer wanted to continue chatting with Yan Muxi, so she served tea and sent the guest away, "Madam Qian, do you have anything else to say?"

Yan Muxi pretended not to understand her intention to send him away, and tactfully explained the purpose of her visit today, "I heard that Madam has a restaurant in her business, and I also want to open a restaurant in Bingcheng, so I want to discuss it with Madam."
