Thanks to the hype from these people, others naturally favored her products. However, the most important factor was still the quality of her goods. After all, good wine needs no bush.
At noon, when the weather was sweltering, a large group of people showed up at the door. Each of these people had a fierce look on their faces, and their arms were covered with tattoos of green dragons and white tigers, as if they were afraid people wouldn't know they were bullies.
In the middle of the crowd, the leading strongman strode towards Tang Youyou. His eyes were full of disdain, and his tone was even more flippant.
"Is this rouge shop yours?"
Tang Youyou remained calm and replied unhurriedly, "It is."
As she spoke, there was not a trace of fear on her face, as if the arrival of these people was well within her expectations.
"You've got some nerve. With so many of us here, you don't even ask the reason?"
After he finished speaking, Tang Youyou slightly raised her beautiful eyes and said casually, "Just tell me."
Perhaps because Tang Youyou was too calm, the man's voice grew even rougher. "Then I'll tell you. Your stuff is not clean. It ruined my woman's mouth. Tell me, how are you going to compensate?"
Seeing the bully talking so arrogantly, Tang Youyou's smile deepened. "So, you're certain it's my product that caused the problem?"
As she spoke, she locked eyes with the bully, and the disdainful curve of her lips made the man even more annoyed.
"Stinky brat, I'm here in person. Do you think it's not your problem? Do you not want to do business anymore?"
"I don't want to do business, and it's none of your business. Making a big fuss about this is not a good thing, and you know very well that the yamen is not what it used to be."
Hearing this, the bully's face suddenly changed. He tightened his grip on the hammer in his hand. Staring at Tang Youyou with blood - red eyes, he spouted nonsense.
"Do you think I'm afraid of the officials? If I were really afraid, I wouldn't be here today!"
After saying that, he swung the hammer in his hand and aimed it at Tang Youyou, who narrowly dodged.
Seeing that his plan had failed, the bully got anxious. He chased after Tang Youyou and started attacking, cursing non - stop with filthy words pouring out of his mouth.
"I don't care. If you don't save my woman today, I'll take your life in exchange for hers!"
As he spoke, he picked up the weapon again, wishing he could take Tang Youyou's life on the spot. Facing such a crazy man, everyone was so scared that they stood still.
"He's a bully. This young master is so frail. He'll probably be bullied by this man in no time."
"Right. Saying that the yamen can protect the common people is just nonsense. Those officials wish these bullies would bully more honest people so they can get more bribes."
Hearing this, Tang Youyou basically understood why these people could break the law under the nose of the emperor.
It turned out that there were a few corrupt officials backing them up. No wonder they were so bold.
"Young master, why don't you just compensate them with some money? These people just want money. If you keep this up, they'll really take your life."
But Tang Youyou didn't care. Her beautiful eyes were filled with killing intent, and the blood - thirsty smile on her lips lifted slightly.
"Don't worry."
That was all she said to the common people.
She looked at the bully and asked, "Let me ask you, did your wife ever buy any of our products?"
As soon as she said this, the onlookers started discussing. This bully was extremely arrogant and had done many evil deeds. How could he have a wife? If it weren't for the fact that Tang Youyou was an honest person, he would have run away long ago. The so - called wife he mentioned was probably just a pretext, unless he had abducted a good - looking girl from somewhere.
Thinking of this, everyone looked at each other and didn't dare to say much.
But the next second, the man actually brought out a woman. The woman was good - looking, but she stammered when she spoke. It seemed that she was a mute.
"This is bad. This young master is going to suffer this time." an old woman in the crowd said.
The mute carefully took out a lipstick from her pocket and was about to hand it to the bully beside her.
At this moment, a vagrant somehow slipped in from afar. The vagrant rushed towards the lipstick in the mute's hand like a madman.
Then, he snatched the lipstick from the girl's hand and stuffed it into his mouth. In the blink of an eye, the lipstick was gone.
Both the onlookers and those who weren't watching were speechless.
Tang Youyou was also slightly stunned, but she quickly regained her composure. She glanced at the bully and said, "Now that your evidence is gone, what else do you have to say?"
The bully was also stunned by the question. Why did this guy eat the evidence?
He immediately frowned and argued, "It's impossible. It's because this guy ate my stuff. My evidence is in his stomach. Your stuff is definitely poisonous! Everyone here saw it. You made someone eat the evidence!"
Hearing this, he looked around at the common people, but not a single person spoke up for him.
The bully didn't forget to say a few more slanderous words. "I'm telling you, if you don't compensate me today, I'll just stay here and not leave!"
As he spoke, he flipped over the signboard at the entrance of the rouge shop and glared angrily at Tang Youyou.
Tang Youyou casually glanced at the vagrant lying on the ground. She noticed that the vagrant's clothes seemed to be those of someone from the palace. It was just that the clothes were too tattered, which made him look like a vagrant. Seeing the man closing his eyes comfortably, she lifted a faint smile.
"You say my product has a problem. Then let me ask you, what exactly is the problem?"
Hearing this, the bully immediately retorted, "My wife applied it on her lips, and then she couldn't speak. Look, now she's a mute."
This statement left everyone present speechless. On the other side, Yue Fusheng slowly walked out. Seeing Tang Youyou standing with her hands behind her back, looking like a celestial being.
However, her frail back gave people a different kind of strength, making people feel that she could make these people disappear in the next moment.
Hiss.
This illusion of his was a bit strange.
Yue Fusheng slowly walked to Tang Youyou's side and heard her speak again.
"Then let me ask you again. Why didn't the vagrant die of poisoning after eating the product? Instead, he's lying on the ground comfortably with a full stomach?"
"This is just your deception. A poisonous thing can cause poisoning even if it's just applied on the surface, but a non - poisonous thing..."
