Chapter 347: Check? No Problem Found
"Ms. Pei has falsely accused me in front of everyone and ruined my reputation. I beg the Princess to help me clear my name!" Yao Qing glanced at Shen Youran who was watching the show not far away. She seemed to be involved in this matter.
Shen Wenting's face darkened as he stepped forward and angrily shouted, "Evil girl, why don't you apologize to the princess!"
"Father, why should I apologize for something my daughter didn't do? It's too early to jump to conclusions before the facts are fully investigated, isn't it?" Yao Qingnian sneered. She really didn't know how this scumbag father got the position of Shangshu. When something happened, he didn't protect his daughter and even sided with outsiders. If she apologized today, what good would he get?
"Master! You are confused! Nianran is right. The truth of the matter has not been found out yet. How can you wrongly accuse her like this! Princess, I also beg you to find out the truth and clear Nianran's name. Miss Pei has wrongly accused Nianran today without any basis. I will never let it go until the truth is found out!" Chen Shuhua gritted her teeth and shouted the word "Master". Nianran was his biological daughter. Now that the matter was not clear yet, he was so eager to convict Nianran. It was so disappointing.
"Princess, I am not talking nonsense. Everything I said just now is true. I dare not say a single lie. If I have wronged Miss Shen, I am willing to kowtow to her and apologize in front of everyone. I will punish her as you wish."
"Ms. Pei, are you sure you want to do this?" Yao Qingnian looked at her with a playful expression.
"For the princess's safety, Miss Shen should admit it quickly, otherwise it will be discovered that there is a problem and the situation will get out of control. Not only will you lose face, but you will also have to implicate the entire Shangshu Mansion!" Pei Qianhuan looked at her proudly. In her opinion, Yao Qingnian said such a thing because she was guilty. She became more and more certain that there was something wrong with the ointment.
"Look at how earnestly the girl from the Earl's Mansion speaks. Could this be true?"
"That's impossible. If you bring it up if there's a problem, wouldn't that be courting death?"
"What's impossible? In my opinion, it's very likely that Miss Shen just came back and wanted to attract everyone's attention and the princess's favor, so she came up with this idea."
"To murder the princess is a serious crime. How dare she use those street toys to murder the princess?"
"Why should she be afraid? Have you forgotten that she has been in the countryside for more than ten years? Maybe she has never seen the world and mistook those cheap goods for treasures!"
There was a heated discussion in the banquet hall, with people saying all kinds of things. The eldest princess was in a dilemma, and didn't know who to believe for a moment. If Shen Nianran wanted to harm her, she didn't believe it based on the time she had just spent with her, but seeing how sure the girl from the Pei family was, it didn't seem like she was lying.
At this time, Prince Jing, who was sitting aside, spoke up: "Aunt, this matter is simple. Since they each have their own opinions, Miss Pei said that there is something wrong with Miss Shen's ointment, and Miss Shen firmly believes that she is innocent, why don't we find a doctor to check it out?" Prince Jing looked at Yao Qingnian, and seeing that she was calm and not anxious at all, he became more and more interested in her.
"What Tuo'er said makes sense. Mammy, go get the imperial physician to check it out." The mammy beside the eldest princess went downstairs to ask for help herself.
Everyone was talking about it below, waiting to see the show, but Mrs. Pei looked anxious. Why was Qian Huan so sure that there was something wrong with the ointment?
After a while, the imperial physician was called over.
"Doctor, this is the skin care cream that Miss Shen sent to me. Please check it carefully to see if there is any problem." The princess ordered softly.
"Yes, Princess!" The imperial physician took the ointment and examined it in front of everyone. To be fair, King Jing also asked the palace physician who was accompanying him to examine it together.
Everyone present stretched their necks to look at the imperial physician and his companions. The imperial physician frowned with a complicated expression on his face. In Pei Qianhuan's opinion, there must be something wrong with the ointment, otherwise why would both imperial physicians look embarrassed? As time passed, the imperial physician and the doctor beside King Jing looked at each other and then stopped their work.
"What's going on, physician?" the princess asked impatiently.
"Your Highness, Princess, I have been practicing medicine for decades, but I have never seen such an ointment. The ingredients inside... I cannot identify them." The imperial physician bowed and replied.
"What about you?!" The princess looked at the doctor accompanying King Jing again.
"Princess, my medical skills are limited, and I can't find out the ingredients of this ointment."
What? The imperial physician couldn't find out what was wrong. The imperial concubines around King Jing all said that their medical skills were shallow. What about the doctors in the capital? This is probably not made of any medicinal herbs at all, but some unknown weeds that Miss Shen got from somewhere?
"Princess, in my opinion, this is not made of any medicinal herbs at all. Instead, it is some unknown stuff that Miss Shen got from somewhere to fool you." Pei Qianhuan felt more confident after hearing what the imperial physicians said. It turned out that the stuff used by this bitch was not a good thing.
"Miss Shen, do you have anything else to say?" King Jing looked at her calm face. For some reason, he always felt that Miss Shen in front of him would have a way to resolve the situation.
"Reporting to the Princess, Prince Jing, it is normal that the imperial physician and this doctor could not identify the ingredients of the medicinal materials. The formula of this ointment is just as they said, it is not a common one. This is my master's unique secret recipe."
"Heh, whether it is a secret recipe or not is up to you to decide. I think she just picked it up to fool the princess. Princess, you'd better not use something of unknown origin, lest your face become more serious."
"I would like to ask the two doctors, although you cannot check what is inside, you can be sure that it is not poisonous, right?" Yao Qingnian ignored her and continued to speak calmly.
The two doctors looked at each other and said, "We just checked it and it's less toxic than the ointment."
"Since it is non-toxic, how can Miss Pei conclude that there is something wrong with this ointment?"
"Non-toxic doesn't mean there's no problem! Many non-toxic things can also cause skin ulcers." Pei Qianhuan said unwillingly.
"Then I will convince you." Yao Qingnian turned around and saluted, "Princess, I have a way to prove that this ointment is non-toxic and a real skin-beautifying ointment."
"How to prove it?" The eldest princess became interested, her eyes full of anticipation.
"Please wait a moment, you will know in a moment." Yao Qingnian did not rush to speak, but asked someone to help find a woman to come up so that everyone could take a closer look: "This is a woman I randomly found from the kitchen of the princess's mansion. Look, the wrinkles on her face are the result of years of accumulation."
