Chapter 539: Chapter 541: Fortunately, Everyone Is Here_1

With a clap of his hands, Long San ordered the dishes which were promptly brought in by the waiter. Dish after dish filled the table, including beef, mutton, shrimp, and crabs. Nan Feng was particularly fond of a boiling pot of beef in spicy broth, the layer of chili oil warming her from head to toe.

Xue Ling was also particularly keen on the beef, leading to a playful tussle for the dish with Nan Feng.

"You have no idea, I’ve been eating cold food brought in from outside for a while now. Even though it’s from the Inspection Mansion’s kitchen, it chills by the time it gets here. My poor stomach has been so uncomfortable. So today, I just want to eat something spicy and hot," Nan Feng said between bites, her nose running due to the spiciness.

"I can relate. The food in the County is a bit too bland for my liking. I too have a nigh unquenchable craving for spicy food," Xue Ling chimed in.

"Next time you crave something spicy, come find me in the city. We’ll dine together." Nan Feng offered.

"Sure, it would be nice to enjoy good food and spicy beverages with the boss." Xue Ling agreed.

"..."

Upon seeing Nan Feng’s tears due to the spiciness, Ye Ge handed her a handkerchief to wipe her eye.

At that moment, Nan Feng was deeply moved. Having weathered quite a storm, she found solace in the presence of her loved ones and friends, their support filling her with newfound courage.

...

Ever since Nan Feng was accused, news about her had spread like wildfire.

In their leisure time, the ladies of the Provincial City would discuss those acne-inducing facial cleansers and face masks, warning each other not to buy products from Spikenard Square for fear of ruining their complexion. So it had become common knowledge that products from Spikenard Square could ruin one’s face, and that the owner had been arrested for questioning.

However, when the public announcement of the investigation was posted, public opinion took a turn. No one expected the real culprit to be Zhi Beauty Hall, the biggest name in the provincial city.

Upon reading the official notice, people started speculating about business rivalries. No one had thought Zhi Beauty Hall would stoop so low as to frame a young lady, causing her to be wrongfully accused for so long, and worse, causing harm to people’s lives.

Thus, the incident became the talk of the town. Many would pay a visit to Spikenard Square while out shopping.

The announcement "Injustice Redressed" could be seen hanging at the entrance of Spikenard Square, written by Xue Ling. Beneath it was a notice that anyone who had developed boils after using the products purchased from Nan Feng’s store was entitled to triple the compensation. One portion was provided by Zhi Beauty Hall, while the remaining was borne by Nan Feng. She felt guilty for not having spotted the issue earlier, thus giving ill-intentioned people a chance to exploit the situation.

Concerned for Nan Feng’s safety, in fear of any possible revenge from the Zhi family, Xue Ling decided to stay and help her for a few more days before returning to the County.

"Do you know? I had boils like them on my face too," Nan Feng shared her previous experience with Xue Ling after seeing off a customer who had come for compensation.

Although some time had passed since the poisoning incident, there still were a significant number of victims coming for compensation, bearing the residual signs of healing acne. According to Nan Feng, it would take at least half a month more for full recovery.

"You had boils too?" Xue Ling asked, taken aback by the smoothness of Nan Feng’s face.

"Yes, and what’s more, I didn’t know about the antidote at that time. It took me quite a while to find it."

"Has Ye Ge seen you when your face was covered in boils?"
