Farmer's wife: My husband came back and the house was in chaos

Chapter 346 Question: Is there something wrong with the ointment?

For a moment, everyone was discussing this matter heatedly. They were also full of curiosity about Miss Shen of the Shangshu Mansion, and they all looked towards the Shangshu Mansion.

Feeling everyone's gaze, Yao Qingnian felt a little embarrassed. She had originally wanted to be low-key, but she hadn't expected to attract everyone's attention. After a long while, everyone turned their attention elsewhere.

"It will be our turn to present the eldest princess with birthday gifts soon. I have already prepared your portion for you, so don't worry."

Chen Shuhua whispered and asked Yuzhu to give her the gift. She knew that her daughter had just returned and must not know anything, so she had already prepared the gift for her and would just give it directly to the eldest princess later.

Shen Youran didn't expect that Chen Shuhua actually prepared a gift for her in advance. In order to prevent her from ruining her plan, she said, "Mother, my sister prepared a gift. It's a bottle of scar removal cream. In addition to removing scars, it can also beautify your skin!"

"Really, Nianran?" After seeing how she had just done makeup for the eldest princess, she was not surprised to hear that she had prepared scar removal cream.

"Yes, mother, what my sister said is right. This scar removal cream was obtained by my sister with great difficulty after consulting a miracle doctor. Seeing that I didn't prepare any gifts, she reluctantly gave me such a good thing and asked me to give it to the eldest princess!"

"It's really thoughtful of you to think so much about your sister. In that case, just put away what I prepared." Chen Shuhua nodded with satisfaction and asked Yuzhu to put the things away.

Soon it was their turn. Originally, it would be enough for the Shangshu family to give one gift, but many young men and women would prepare a gift for the eldest princess to express their feelings in order to gain her favor at the banquet. These gifts were generally not as valuable as those given to them by their elders, but were mostly paintings, calligraphy, embroidery and so on. When the eldest princess saw something she liked, she would reward them when she was happy. It would be a great honor for themselves and their families to be praised by the eldest princess and spread the news.

"Princess, this is a longevity picture that I embroidered myself. I wish you happiness and success every year."

After Shen Wenting presented his gifts, it was their turn. Shen Youran was the first to present the gift she had carefully prepared.

"This Hundred Years of Longevity picture is embroidered with exquisite craftsmanship. You can tell from every stitch that Second Miss Shen is meticulous. Reward!" The servant put the gift away, and Shen Youran received a butterfly hairpin.

At this moment, everyone's eyes were focused on Shen Youran. She bowed slightly with a proper smile on her face. Shen Wenting, who was standing beside her, also showed pride in Shen Youran in his eyes.

When it was Yao Qingnian's turn, she deliberately took out the white jade porcelain jar so that Shen Youran could see it.

"Princess, this is the skin care cream I prepared for you. Apply it on your face every day to beautify your skin, delay aging, and reduce fine lines."

"Haha, you are so straightforward, girl. You know that I love beauty, so I will accept this gift." The princess smiled heartily and was about to give her a reward.

"Wait! Princess, you have to be careful when using things on your face!" Someone suddenly interrupted them.

Hearing someone interrupt the eldest princess, everyone present looked in the direction of the voice.

"Whose family is this young lady? She has no manners or upbringing. The princess is talking, so how can she interrupt?"

"Isn't that the girl from the Earl's Mansion? What is she going to do?"

"Who knows!"

The people present pointed at her, and the eldest princess looked unhappy. The maid beside her stood up and said, "Who is making the noise down there? Come forward."

Mrs. Pei was also frightened by this sudden scene. What was this girl doing? They finally got the chance to attend the eldest princess' birthday banquet today, and they hoped nothing would happen. The Earl's Mansion was already in decline, and she wanted to take this opportunity to see if her son's succession to the title had been settled. If her daughter offended the eldest princess, the Earl's Mansion would really be ruined. She hurriedly stopped them: "Qian Huan, what are you doing! Sit down!"

"Mother, don't worry! I know what's going on!" After saying that, regardless of how Madam Pei tried to stop her, she stepped forward and said, "My servant is from the Earl's Mansion, my name is Pei Qianhuan, and I was in a hurry, so I acted so rudely. Please forgive me, but I did this for your safety."

Just before the banquet started, she was with Shen Youran. Youran told her that she had just heard her sister say that she wanted to give a beauty cream to the eldest princess. She had seen that beauty cream before from a wandering doctor, and it had no effect at all. It might even cause facial ulcers if used!

Youran kindly advised her sister not to give this to the eldest princess, but she didn't listen and insisted on giving the ointment to the eldest princess as a birthday gift. If something happened, what would her sister do in the future? Shen Youran's face was full of worry.

Pei Qianhuan's face was full of excitement. If she could expose on the spot that the bitch had given the princess fake ointment, not only would that bitch offend the princess, but she would also be able to remind her in time to avoid harm to the princess, which would also be a great achievement. If the princess was grateful to her and said a few good words to the emperor, wouldn't it be easy for her brother to get the title?

"What do you mean, Miss Pei?" The eldest princess glanced at the young lady who came forward and spoke coldly.

"Princess, I heard that Miss Shen just came back from the countryside. How come she has such a powerful ability to cover up the scars on your face without even a trace of flaws? And this skin beautifying cream, how come there is such a precious thing in such a rural place?

I have seen people selling this kind of ointment on the street before. It is exactly the same as the one Miss Shen bought. It is not a skin-beautifying ointment at all, but a fake product that will make your face rotten. " Pei Qianhuan told the story with confidence.

"Oh? Miss Shen, how do you explain Miss Pei's words?" The eldest princess spoke softly and looked at Yao Qingnian who was still standing aside.

"Princess, this beautifying cream is the ancestral recipe of my master, and it is extremely precious. I heard that the princess was injured and disfigured while saving His Majesty, and I was moved by her selfless dedication, so I took out this beautifying cream. I don't know why it became a fake medicine that will rot your face in Miss Pei's mouth?" Yao Qingnian replied indifferently.

"You're talking nonsense. Your master's ancestral ointment is obviously something you bought at a street stall!"

"Why is Miss Pei so sure? Did she see me buy it with her own eyes?"

"I... I don't have it! But your ointment is fake." Pei Qianhuan said very affirmatively.
