Su Xiaoxiao said, “Your sister’s condition was indeed caused by this ointment.” “Huh?” Lu Ying was stunned.
On the other side, because of the temporary truce, Lu Hui also heard Su Xiaoxiao’s words.
She was not familiar with Su Xiaoxiao, but at this moment, only Su Xiaoxiao was on her side. The others all looked like she was being unreasonable.
She immediately clenched her fists. “Hu Biyun, did you hear that? There’s something wrong with your ointment! ”
Hu Biyun mocked, “Heh, who doesn’t know that her family opened a medical center next to my second uncle’s Benevolence Hall? She’s busy snatching our Hu family’s business, so of course she’ll say that. I advise you not to fall for it!”
Su Xiaoxiao casually weighed the medicine bottle in her hand. “Honeysuckle, forsythia, wild chrysanthemums, mint, black ginseng, barley rice, and rice. Your Hu family’s ointment is made from these herbs, right?” Hu Biyun was shocked!
“How did you Imow… you… you stole our Hu family’s recipe?! ”
Su Xiaoxiao gave her the disdain of a king. “Is there a need? Won’t you know after smelling it? Or could it be that Miss Hu, as the biological daughter of Commissioner Hu, can’t even identify a few medicinal herbs?”
“I…” Hu Biyun was caught off guard by Su Xiaoxiao.
She could identify some medicinal herbs. The medicinal herbs had their own taste, but sometimes when mixed together, the medicinal smell would surge, integrate, and change.
Therefore, very few people… could “sniff out” a complete prescription.
But she couldn’t admit it now. Otherwise, wouldn’t she be at a disadvantage?
Hu Biyun said proudly, “I can identify it, but I can’t guarantee that you can do it too.”
Su Xiaoxiao threw her a small medicine bottle. “Then smell what herbs I used for this bottle of medicine.”
Hu Biyun took a sniff and said calmly, “There’s… rhubarb, ginseng, chicken bone fragrance, musk…”
Su Xiaoxiao smiled faintly. “Miss Hu, you’ve been smelling it for so long. Can’t you tell that this isn’t medicine at all?”
Hu Biyun’s expression suddenly changed!
All the young ladies in the classroom looked at Hu Biyun in disbelief.
Was what Miss Su said true?
Hu Biyun couldn’t even recognize the medicine?!
Then she had just said the name of the herbs in a serious manner— Hu Biyun said angrily, “Are you toying with me?”
Su Xiaoxiao spread her hands. “I’m not fooling you. I’m giving Miss Hu a chance to prove her strength. Otherwise, how could you make Miss Lu admit defeat obediently?”
Everyone burst out laughing.
Was there anyone who could be so arrogant after being slapped in the face?
They had come to see the little fat girl make a fool of herself, but for some reason, they were amused by her cunningness.
The chubby girl was not stupid.
On the other hand, Miss Hu seemed to be in a miserable state.
Hu Biyun gritted her teeth. “Just because you say so?”
Su Xiaoxiao smiled, “You can find an imperial physician to appraise it and see if this medicine is gold sore medicine. Not to mention finding trouble with the imperial physician, your father is the Court Commissioner. I believe that you still have this bit of influence.”
Hu Biyun choked.
She was about to slam the medicine bottle on the table beside her.
Su Xiaoxiao reminded her, “Be careful, this is Princess Hui An’s table.”
Hu Biyun had been deprived of the chance to smash the medicine bottle. She had nowhere to vent her anger and was about to turn into a toad!
No matter how calm she was in the face of Lu Hui’s accusations, she was in a terrible mood when she was slapped in the face by Su Xiaoxiao.
“You, you, you… Stop being unreasonable here! Even if you tell us the Hu family’s prescription, it doesn’t prove that her face condition was caused by our Hu family’s medicine!”
Hu Biyun came back to her senses. She had been angered by this girl that she was confused. She was actually led by the nose by this girl!
The crux of the matter was not how good this girl was at identifying medicinal herbs, but that there was definitely nothing wrong with their Hu family’s ointment!
Su Xiaoxiao wasn’t in a hurry to answer her. Instead, she looked at Lu Hui. “Miss Lu, do you feel uncomfortable coming into contact with flowers every spring?
Lu Hui quickly said, “That’s right, that’s right. There’s actually a little of it all year round, and spring is the worst. I never raise flowers in my yard, or I’ll sneeze and have rashes.”
“This is because Miss Lu is allergic to pollen,” Su Xiaoxiao explained patiently.
“The Hu family’s prescription has wild chrysanthemums and honeysuckle. Ordinary people will be fine after applying it, but Miss Lu, who is allergic to pollen, will be affected.”
Lu Hui was enlightened. “No wonder my entire face was swollen when I applied
She glared at Hu Biyun coldly, ‘What else do you have to say!”
Hu Biyun said stubbornly, “Then why are the others fine?”
Su Xiaoxiao crossed her arms and said calmly, “If you’re referring to the daughters here, I think it’s because not everyone is allergic to pollen. Secondly, they might not have used your medicine at all.”
This medicine was used to remove acne. Who would apply it on their face for no reason? Shouldn’t they wait until they had acne before applying it?
Everyone felt awkward.
They had indeed not used it yet. The ointment was left at home to eat dust.
Hu Biyun was so angry that her heart ached.
At this moment, Princess Jingning came to class.
Seeing her walk into the classroom, Hu Biyun felt like she had grabbed onto a life-saving straw. “Princess Jingning used my father’s medicine! Her face has recovered! This proves that my father’s medicine is fine!”
This was a completely different concept.
Su Xiaoxiao never said that the Hu family’s medicine was problematic for everyone. She only pointed out that it contained allergens and was not suitable for people like Miss Lu who was allergic to pollen.
Princess Jingning frowned as she looked at Hu Biyun.
Hu Biyun asked excitedly, “Princess Jingning, you’ve used my father’s medicine, right?”
Princess Jingning replied, “Yes.”
Hu Biyun’s eyes lit up, “Then you…”
Princess Jing Ning continued, “I applied it once, but it didn’t work.” Hu Biyun was puzzled.
Qin Yanran’s carriage had some problems today, so she arrived late.
She entered the classroom and realized that the atmosphere today was not right.
Hu Biyun sat in the last row. Her eyes were swollen like walnuts.
Su Xiaoxiao was still sitting beside Princess Jingning. Princess Hui An and Princess Lingxi did not come.
Many young ladies were secretly sizing up Su Xiaoxiao; their eyes were filled with curiosity and inquiry.
When Su Xiaoxiao turned around, they were like little rabbits who had been caught. They quickly covered their faces with books.
However, when Su Xiaoxiao turned around, they peeked at her curiously.
She was just a little late.
What happened?
Why did so many young ladies… look at that girl differently?
In the afternoon, there was a riding and archery class.
After Wei Ting’s demonic training, the young ladies’ riding skills improved by leaps and bounds. Even the few young ladies who had never ridden a horse could ride freely.
Today, he mainly wanted to teach archery. He did not want to teach horse riding. He had to wait until they had perfected their riding and archery skills before he could begin to combine riding and archery.
Wei Ting wore a white teacher’s robe and stood on the grass field with a cold expression..
