Chapter 543: Chapter 545 I Want to Give You Zhi Mei Tang_1

Nan Feng hesitated for a moment, then said, "Mrs. Zhi, I’ve heard your story, and I’ve always respected you. Now that I’ve met you, I respect you even more as an esteemed elder. Therefore, I believe that you are you, and Mrs. Zhi is Mrs. Zhi. We cannot lump you together. Besides, if you really intended to harm me, you wouldn’t have come in person. The fact that you’ve placed your great-granddaughter in my shop shows that you have no intention of guarding against me."

"Heh, it’s rare for someone of your age to be so understanding. If my daughter-in-law had half of your broad-mindedness, Zhi Mei Tang wouldn’t have ended up in this state," Mrs. Zhi sighed.

Although Zhi Mei Tang was still open, due to Mrs. Zhi’s influence, its reputation had been on the decline, and business had reached abysmal lows.

Business at Nan Feng’s shop had also been affected by the poisoning incident; consumers, jumpy as frightened birds, were afraid to make purchases. And since there was no new stock at Nan Feng’s shop, the main focus recently had been dealing with compensation claims.

Didn’t Mrs. Zhi hurt both others and herself?

Nan Feng couldn’t help but sigh.

Mrs. Zhi regained her composure after a short while and, smiling, asked Nan Feng, "I heard that the cangsong poison affecting my daughter-in-law was cured by you?"

Nan Feng nodded. "Yes, I knew how to cure the poison because I had also contracted it before. The pus-filled sores on my face took two or three years to heal."

"Oh? Lady Nan, you’ve also had cangsong poison before?" Mrs. Zhi seemed surprised.

"Yes, why did Mrs. Zhi mentioned ’also’? Did you also ..."

Mrs. Zhi nodded, "Do you know how my daughter-in-law contracted the cangsong poison? It’s because of something I told her."

Nan Feng was somewhat stunned, "I had never thought that Mrs. Zhi could have contracted cangsong poison before."

Mrs. Zhi paused, appearing to be recalling the past: "I was infected with cangsong poison by accident when I was fourteen and went hunting in the mountain with my brother. The vibrant red fruit looked alluring but who would’ve thought that by unintentionally touching my face it would lead to a face full of pus-filled sores. Thereafter, I started exploring ways to regain my beauty, and this took two years. During this period, I was both researching ways to cure the poison and trying to produce attractive rouge to cover the sores on my face. My efforts were not in vain; finally, the poison was eliminated, and I succeeded in creating the rouge. However, in the pursuit of beauty, I ventured further and further, which led to the establishment of Zhi Mei Tang. My hope is that every woman should be able to lead a beautiful life."

Nan Feng was stunned. "It seems that the path that I’ve taken is surprisingly similar to the one that Mrs. Zhi has followed. I too slowly developed facial cleansers and masks in the process of curing the poison. Besides making money, I also aimed to benefit more people."

Mrs. Zhi chuckled. "It seems our thoughts coincide after all."

Nan Feng nodded: "Yes."

Mrs. Zhi adjusted her hair and looked at Nan Feng, her gaze somewhat helpless, "The reason I passed Zhi Mei Tang to my daughter-in-law was to allow the business to continue. However, I never thought that the reputation that I had built over several decades would be on the verge of ruin. Lady Nan, your Spikenard Square has also been greatly affected, hasn’t it? Do you have any plans to revive Spikenard Square?"

"I do have strategies, but they require time to be effective. I can’t expect immediate results, but I can take it slowly," Nan Feng was confident of finding a solution eventually.

It was apparent that Mrs. Zhi appreciated Nan Feng’s attitude. She paused for a moment before speaking, "Lady Nan, I would like to temporarily hand over Zhi Mei Tang to you. Would you be able to accept that?"
