Chu Yue took a sip of tea and then put down the tea cup.
"I know that Shen Zhixia is not my sister's opponent, so does Sister Guan Linglong understand?"
Shen Zhixue was stunned.
"I don't know much about it. Guan Linglong has been here since the shop was being repaired, but has not appeared since."
At this moment, a woman about twenty years old came outside the door and asked to see her, with a slight eagerness on her face.
"My boss, I have something to report."
Shen Zhixue looked in her direction and said, "Come in."
The woman entered the room and looked in Chu Yue's direction, with a trace of hesitation in her expression.
Seeing this, Shen Zhixue hurriedly said, "This is the big owner of our Hongyan Pavilion. All the products in our shop are from her. If you have anything to do, you don't need to avoid her. Just tell her directly."
Then he introduced to Chu Yue, "This is Qiushi. Ever since I bought this shop, she has been working by my side. She is very safe."
Chu Yue nodded.
It turns out that she is Qiushi.
Qiushi looked in Chu Yue's direction, surprise flashing across her face.
Shen Zhixue has been working here since she bought this shop five years ago. She is the only owner of this shop. It turns out that the renovation of the shop is actually due to the big boss behind it.
However, after such reforms, the business in the shop is indeed countless times better than before!
After coming back to his senses, Qiushi placed the tray in his hand on the coffee table in front of the two of them.
"My boss, when I was taking inventory just now, I found that there was something wrong with a few bottles of beauty cream, so I took them all out from the warehouse. Take a look."
Shen Zhixue picked up one of the bottles and asked, "What's wrong?"
Qiushi said truthfully, "When the beauty cream is delivered, the surface of the cream is usually smooth. Today, I opened the first few bottles and inspected them. There were traces of being stirred. Although they were smoothed out again, there were no traces of stirring. It can still be seen that the Nu family is extra cautious because they think Lishuijian has not dealt with our Hongyan Pavilion recently."
Shen Zhixue nodded.
"It's a good thing to be cautious. If anything happens, we can't bear it."
She opened a box of beauty cream, smelled it, and observed it carefully. There were indeed signs of agitation on the surface, but she couldn't see anything wrong.
In other words, Qiushi is careful, otherwise it would be hard to see.
She handed the beauty cream in her hand towards Chu Yue.
"I don't understand this. Sister, come and take a look."
Chu Yue took the beauty cream from Shen Zhixue, slightly picked up some with her nails and smelled it under her nose. She could vaguely smell a sweet smell that was different from the beauty cream.
If she hadn't been dealing with medicinal materials for a long time, this smell would have been easily ignored.
Chu Yue's face looked solemn, and she put the beauty cream back on the coffee table.
"It was indeed manipulated."
Shen Zhixue's heart tightened.
"Did my sister find something?"
Chu Yue inspected the eight boxes of beauty cream in the tray one by one and said, "These boxes of beauty cream are mixed with oleander juice. Because it is milky white, it is not easy to detect when mixed with the beauty cream, but it can be detected by the smell. distinguish."
When her master took her to the mountains to identify medicinal materials, she followed him to identify oleander, and specially collected some to make oleander powder. Later, she mixed oleander into her homemade itching powder. pink.
Shen Zhixue looked at the eight boxes of beauty cream in front of her with some surprise.
"It's actually an oleander!"
Although she didn't know any medicinal materials, she had heard that oleander was highly poisonous.
Qiushi looked at the two people from the side.
"Two bosses, can't I take these boxes of beauty cream?"
Chu Yue nodded and said, "Oleander can easily cause rubella if it comes into contact with the skin. If it accidentally gets into the eyes, it will sting and cause blindness. I cannot take these boxes of beauty cream mixed with oleander."
Qiushi was shocked when she heard this.
The other party is so vicious!
Fortunately, she was more careful when taking inventory today. Otherwise, if a customer bought it, Hongyan Pavilion would be in big trouble!
Chu Yue's dark eyes flashed with thought, and she suddenly remembered those ginseng slices soaked in hellebore juice in the medical clinic. Is it possible that they were made by the same person?
The approach is so consistent that it is difficult to ignore the connection between the two.
She looked at Shen Zhixue.
"Is Hongyan Pavilion's warehouse under special care? Can outsiders come in?"
Shen Zhixue knew what Chu Yue meant.
"The warehouse is set up underground. Usually, whenever people leave, the warehouse will be locked, so outsiders cannot easily enter." She said, looking at Qiushi, "Who was the last person to leave the warehouse yesterday?"
If outsiders cannot get in, there is a high possibility that there is a traitor.
"It's Chunhua." But then Qiushi frowned again, "But Chunhua has worked with the slave family for many years, and based on the slave family's understanding of her, she is simple-minded and does not seem like someone who would do such a thing. "
Shen Zhixue nodded slightly.
"Who entered the warehouse yesterday?"
Qiushi recalled carefully and said, "In addition to Nujia and Chunhua, there are also Siyu and Xiuyan."
Shen Zhixue looked at her.
"Go and call them together. Don't tell us why you are looking for them."
"yes."
Qiushi felt slightly blessed, then turned around and went down.
Shen Zhixue looked at Chu Yue, "It doesn't look like Shen Zhixia's handiwork of mixing oleander juice into the beauty cream."
Chu Yue said softly, "That's Guan Linglong."
After she finished speaking, she called "Black Wood" into the air. After a while, a black figure turned from the roof into the window.
Heimu cupped his fists beside Chu Yue and said, "My subordinate is here."
Chu Yue tapped her hand lightly on the coffee table in front of her.
"Go and see if there are oleanders in Guan Mansion. By the way, I want to ask if Miss Guan Linglong of Guan Mansion has bought fresh hellebores recently."
"yes."
After Kuroki finished speaking, he jumped out of the window and disappeared in an instant.
Shen Zhixue looked at the agile Heimu with surprise in her eyes.
Chu Yue's side is really a hidden dragon and crouching tiger now, which is no longer the same as before.
"Why did my sister ask if Guan Mansion keeps oleander? Is it possible that they keep such a poisonous thing at home?"
Chu Yue expressed her analysis.
"Although oleander is highly poisonous, it is very beautiful. It is known as a poisonous beauty. You can grow it at home as long as you don't touch it. Its flowering period is from June to October every year. If you keep it in the mountains and forests, , it will not be advanced or delayed too long. It is not yet time to bloom, so the only possibility is artificial maintenance. If you can extract so much oleander juice at one time, it is naturally impossible to pick petals from other places."
After hearing this, Shen Zhixue nodded repeatedly, with admiration on her face.
"My sister's analysis makes sense!"
If Chu Yue hadn't been here today, she might have had to take some detours.
Chu Yue said nothing, but took four of the boxes of beauty cream, used bamboo slices to scrape off the cream mixed with oleander juice, and finally smoothed it out.
Shen Zhixue looked at her operations and couldn't figure out Chu Yue's thoughts for a while.
Not long after, Qiushi came with Chunhua, Siyu and Xiuyan, and the four of them stood side by side in front of the two.
"Both owners are here."
Although Chunhua knew that Chu Yue was sitting opposite Shen Zhixue, he didn't know that she was also the owner of Hongyan Pavilion.
Hearing Qiushi mention this, his face was full of surprises.
Siyu and Xiuyan's faces were also full of surprise. There was actually a boss behind Hongyan Pavilion!
Chu Yue pushed four boxes of beauty cream in the direction of the four of them.
"Qiu Shi just took out these boxes of beauty cream from the warehouse. Each of you can try one box. I want to see what effects different skin types can have after using them."
