Chapter 56 Something Important in the Heart is Fading

Chapter 56: Something Important in the Heart Is Disappearing

It wasn’t that he didn’t trust Ji Yuntang, but rather that he felt her words were too cocky. If the stuff didn’t work as well as she said after he tried it, it’d just cause her a bunch of unnecessary hassle.

Ji Yuntang, who was bold enough to pull this off, wasn’t the type to be scared of trouble.

She even planned to use Wang Sheng’s promo today to break into her own beauty and skincare market!

“Acne is totally normal. A lot of people have the same issue, just not as bad as yours. It usually clears up in a few days. Your Highness, no matter how much I talk, you’ll only believe it if you try it yourself.”

The acne cream and face wash had a bit of spiritual spring water mixed in, which naturally helped repair skin, making the results even better for the user.

Wasn’t that way safer than taking meds?

Wang Sheng hung his head, looking a bit lost. Luo Feizhou raised a hand and nodded to someone nearby.

“Go get a basin of water and let him give it a shot.”

The guard brought the water and set it down in front of Wang Sheng. He looked up at Ji Yuntang, and she gave him a reassuring look.

“First, wet your face. Squeeze some cleanser into your hand, add water to lather it up, and gently rub it all over your face. After about fifteen minutes, rinse your face clean, then put on the acne cream. Wait another fifteen minutes, and you’re good to go.”

Wang Sheng followed the steps like he was told.

When he squeezed the cleanser into his palm, it smelled like fresh oranges. He added water and gently rubbed it into a thick foam, and carefully massaged it all over his face.

The gentle feel was like clouds, not irritating at all.

After he rinsed his face, Ji Yuntang handed him a bronze mirror. Wang Sheng then put the acne cream on his face.

The white cream melted right away with a light rub, and he could feel his skin feeling better than ever. Whether it was his imagination or not, the pain from touching it seemed way less.

Everyone stared hard at Wang Sheng’s face, afraid to blink and miss a thing.

Wang Sheng felt like he was sitting on pins and needles. He’d always been someone others looked down on, never before being the center of attention with so many eyes on him like today.

“Don’t be nervous. I believe in my products, and you should believe in yourself too,” Ji Yuntang comforted him.

Wang Sheng nodded nervously, but then he heard a gasp.

“Look! The pimples on his face are shrinking!”

This discovery blew everyone away. The visible change proved to everyone that Ji Yuntang’s ointment was no joke.

In no time, praises came pouring in one after another.

“Princess Ye is amazing! Even such stubborn acne can be cured. This is way better than taking medicine!”

“I’ve lived this long and never knew you could wash your face with anything but water. Using a face wash seems so handy!”

“My face keeps breaking out as well. I wonder if Princess Ye’s acne cream and face wash are for sale. If so, I’ll buy them no matter what they cost!”

“...”

Ji Yuntang’s red lips curled up slightly. Everyone loves beauty. No matter the era, women’s money was the easiest to make.

Luckily, her space still had plenty of beauty and skincare products. Starting a beauty market in the future wasn’t out of the question.

After looking in the mirror, Wang Sheng let out a sharp exclamation of joy. “Great! My face is saved now!”

He bent his knees and knelt on the ground, repeatedly kowtowing to Ji Yuntang in gratitude.

“Princess Ye, thanks to you, this commoner’s face has hope. I’m not talented, but I’ve studied accounting in a cloth shop for a few years. If you ever need this petty person’s help in the future, I will go through fire and water without hesitation.”

Ji Yuntang’s beautiful eyes sparkled as she slightly parted her lips. “Rise. I’m glad I could help you. If I ever need you, I’ll send someone to find you.”

Little did she know, her casual words would change Wang Sheng’s life.

Ji Qingfeng’s eyes were nearly popping out. He couldn’t believe that the two strange items Ji Yuntang had brought could actually cure Wang Sheng’s face.

Something important in his heart seemed to be slipping away rapidly, and Ji Qingfeng couldn’t grasp it.

Ji Qingqing’s fingernails were nearly breaking off. How could this be? How?

If helping the first person was just luck, what about the second?

His face had been in such a state, yet it could still be cured. Ji Qingqing dared not imagine how popular Ji Yuntang’s cleanser and acne cream would be among the noble ladies of the capital once they hit the market.

At that point, everything she had done would be overshadowed by Ji Yuntang.

Ji Qingqing couldn’t accept it. She was the most distinguished young lady of the Marquis Yongning’s mansion. This honor should be hers. What right did Ji Yuntang have?

Xie Liuzheng’s irritating voice chimed in at just the right moment. “Princess Ye is truly remarkable. Some people will probably never measure up, right?”

Ji Qingqing’s face turned green. She gritted her teeth but ultimately held back from speaking.

The most shocked of all was Luo Sinian, who stood up excitedly.

Could it be that he had misjudged Ji Yuntang? Did this ugly woman actually have some real skill?

Did that mean his third brother’s disfigured face might also be curable?

Luo Sinian stared intently at Ji Yuntang’s face, itching to rush over and question her.

Yet deep down, he eagerly anticipated what other surprises Ji Yuntang might bring next.

The next patient was an elderly man over sixty. His hair was gray, his back hunched as he walked, tiptoeing and moving very slowly, pausing with every step.

It took him nearly a quarter of an hour to cover just a hundred paces. When he stopped in the square and was about to kneel for a bow, Luo Jingshen waved his hand impatiently. “No need for formalities. Just tell us your symptoms.”

“This commoner, Xu Er, two winters ago, after returning from working in the fields one night, I went to sleep without washing my feet. When I woke up, my feet were unbearably itchy, as if tens of thousands of insects were crawling under my soles. At first, I didn’t think much of it, but gradually, the itching worsened, my skin kept peeling, and now I can barely walk.”

“I’ve tried many folk remedies over the years, but none worked. Instead, my family members caught the same foot ailment. I beg the esteemed doctors here to help me. If this continues, my whole family will be tormented to death by this condition.”

Ji Yuntang raised an eyebrow. Based on this description, wasn’t this just athlete’s foot from modern times?

Logically, such a disease shouldn’t be hard to treat in ancient times. The reason it persisted was that the old man was poor, unwilling to spend money on medicine, and relied on old folk remedies passed down through generations.

Over time, the condition had only worsened.
