Chapter 728: Chapter 733 The Truth Revealed_1
Qiao Duo’er spoke loudly, "Every product at Duo Meifang is made with the best materials and is safe for the human body. Everyone can rest assured when purchasing and I hope this incident will not affect your mood."
Seeing the owner daring to swallow it, everyone felt reassured.
The products here must be safe, at least there wouldn’t be any hidden dangers when applied to the face.
"Now I can be at ease. If they ate it and nothing happened, then there certainly won’t be any issues applying it to my face!"
"That makes sense, we can always try it first, and if there’s a problem, we just won’t buy it!"
With that, even more people came to make purchases.
Qiao Duo’er and the others could only set aside the incident for the moment and attend to the customers in the store.
"Sister Duo’er, we’re out of shoe insoles, bring another fifty pairs!" Da Niuer called out loudly.
The products were so popular that, as the manager, she constantly had to rush to restock. Otherwise, they would run out, and that was enough to irritate even the most temperamental customers, let alone her.
However, good business was definitely a good thing.
Qiao Duo’er took note of the inventory and then asked Tan Zhenghong to fetch more from the storeroom.
Before she could finish her sentence, she accidentally burped, the scent of fragrance paste filling the air.
Tan Zhenghong teased, "Wife, from now on your fragrance will radiate from inside out."
"We’re in the same boat."
Qiao Duo’er rolled her eyes at him, and Tan Zhenghong had actually consumed a bit more than she had.
As Tan Zhenghong headed to the storeroom, he said, "This is what it means to share blessings and face troubles together!"
Hehe, he was just trying to annoy Bai Yifan to death!
Before the crowd of customers had left, Chen Yiling and Old lady Bai came in with a bound old woman.
"Madam Zhao, I thought she looked suspicious, so I brought her back. Do you recognize this person?" Chen Yiling asked, pointing to the person behind her.
The old woman clearly belonged to a wealthy household and kept peering inside, appearing more like she was surveilling someone.
She and Old lady Bai thought it better to err on the side of caution than let a potential culprit go free.
"She is a maid we’ve just bought for menial tasks; I put her in Auntie Ju’s room."
Madam Zhao thought carefully and then remembered indeed there was such a person in her house.
If this servant had not been purchased recently, she truly wouldn’t have recalled.
"If that’s the case, then I’ll send her to the Government Office for interrogation," Chen Yiling said, signaling the guard with her eyes.
The guard saluted and prepared to take away the old woman.
In panic, the old woman pleaded, "Madam, spare my life, it was all Zhu Yi Niang’s idea. She said that after the deed was done, she could replace you and promote me to housekeeper. Blinded by greed, I agreed."
The bystanders were all dumbfounded. She confessed just like that?
No wonder, if she had been more resolute, she wouldn’t have risked harming others for the position of housekeeper.
Madam Zhao’s face was so red with embarrassment it looked like it could bleed, and she said apologetically, "Today, I’ve been presumptuous. I will visit to apologize another day."
"You best go back quickly. In a while, I will send the medical woman directly to your house," Qiao Duo’er politely said, her face in such a state that she would not have remained calm either.
Madam Zhao apologized again, left the maid to handle the aftermath, and had someone escort the old woman back home.
If it had been someone else, she might not have become so angry. Zhu Yi Niang was her distant cousin, whom she had always looked after. She never expected Zhu Yi Niang to harbor such malicious intentions!
To kill two birds with one stone? But the result... ended with herself caught in the trap!
With the departure of Madam Zhao, the issue was satisfactorily resolved and Duo Meifang returned to its usual bustle.
Madam Zhao was indeed remorseful, and the maid she left behind explained the situation continuously.
