072 Uncovered
"Cousin, thanks to you." Qingyu took the small porcelain jar handed by Amber as a treasure, carefully grasped it in her hand, and thanked her for her kindness, "I have only used this ointment for a few days, and the wound is healed, and the scar is almost gone." Qingyu's other hand touched the wound on her face, both happy and grateful.
"They are all their own sisters, why be so polite." Amber said with a smile, estimating that the time was about the same, and said deliberately, "Let me tell you, this is the medicine of the divine doctor in Jishitang, you can save some ......"
"I'm still going to be on an errand, so I'll go first." Amber pinched the handkerchief and turned around, about to take her leave.
Qingyu hurriedly said, "Cousin, I'll send you." ”
When Qingyu sent Amber out of the hospital, she happened to face each other with Liu and Chu Qianling's mother and daughter, Liu knew Qingyu, but Qingyu was just a second-class maid, Liu didn't look at her much before, and now when she looked at her again, she remembered that her face was scratched by broken porcelain a few days ago.
The Liu family also heard what the cousins said outside the hospital, and their faces sank like water.
"You, come here!" Liu hooked his finger at Qingyu, and Qingyu walked over to her with low eyebrows and curtsied.
Liu Shi said again: "Raise your face!" ”
Qingyu obediently raised her face, and Liu Shi looked carefully, only to find that Qingyu's face was only a little red mark, if you didn't look closely, you couldn't see it at all.
Liu didn't know how deep Qingyu's wound was at that time, but he remembered that he had shed a lot of blood, and now he looked at it too quickly.
Chu Qianling also leaned over to look at Qingyu's face, and was also surprised, and hurriedly asked, "Qingyu, did you use this ointment?" She pointed to the small porcelain jar with blue flowers on a white background in Qingyu's hand, and her voice was slightly sharp.
Qingyu shrank back, held the small porcelain jar tightly with one hand, answered "yes", and said timidly: "This is for the slave's cousin." ”
Chu Qianling's gaze suddenly looked at amber again, his gaze was like an arrow, as if he wanted to nail amber to the wall.
Liu asked Amber for Chu Qianling: "This ointment ...... Where did you get it from? ”
Amber replied: "This is the perfect ointment that our girl bought from Jishitang, Qingyu is the cousin of the slave, and the slave saw that she was injured, so she asked the girl to ask for some for her." ”
For Chu Qianling, this sentence was tantamount to igniting the fuse of the firecracker, and she broke out in an instant.
"You say, this is Chu Qianchen's medicine?!" Chu Qianling said almost word by word, almost mad.
Chu Qianchen obviously knew that he was looking for the miracle doctor in the Shitang, and he knew that he was asking for medicine, but he actually hid it from himself and didn't give him the ointment!
Chu Qianling turned around without saying a word, rushed out of the courtyard, and rushed in the direction of the main courtyard the same way, walking faster and faster.
"Sister Ling!"
Liu called Chu Qianling, but Chu Qianling turned a deaf ear, but walked faster.
Chu Qianling's mind was buzzing, as if there were countless bees buzzing, and there seemed to be flames burning......
When she rushed to the main courtyard in one go, she happened to see Chu Qianchen coming out of Chu Yunmu's room, and her anger burned even more.
"Chu, Qian, Chen, what the hell do you mean?!" Chu Qianling reprimanded sharply.
Because she ran all the way, her breath was short, and her chest couldn't stop rising and falling.
At this time, the sunset had already set for the most part, and the golden afterglow shrouded the eaves and treetops, outlining the silhouettes and clothes of the two girls.
Chu Qianchen stopped, raised his eyes and stared at Chu Qianling, with a faint smile on his lips, and the clouds were light and light.
This kind of careless eyes and smile fell in Chu Qianling's eyes, full of mockery.
Chu Qianling's hair was a little messy because of Fang Cai's running, and compared with Chu Qianchen, who was calm and elegant in front of her, she looked a little embarrassed, and fine beads of sweat oozed from her forehead.
The cold evening breeze of dusk lifted her veil, revealing the somewhat hideous scar on her cheek, which had healed, but formed a slightly raised flesh scar, like a flesh-colored centipede.
Chu Qianling subconsciously pulled the floating veil, and the anger in her heart jumped higher, burning her reason.
She strode two more steps in the direction of Chu Qianchen, blocked in front of Chu Qianchen, and asked aggressively, "Chu Qianchen, why don't you give me the ointment?!" ”
She was angry and anxious in her heart, and felt that Chu Qianchen was clearly deliberate.
Chu Qianchen not only deliberately ruined her face, but also knew that she wanted the ointment of the divine doctor to treat her face, but he hid the medicine and didn't give it to her, watching her beg but not being able to beg for it, watching her suffer because of her face injury.
Even, I'd rather give the ointment to a than give it to her, how can there be such a vicious person in this world!
There were several clusters of flames in Chu Qianling's eyes that were beating fiercely.
Chu Qianchen looked at Chu Qianling with a smile and asked lightly, "Is this the ointment you are talking about?"
She took out a small porcelain jar with blue flowers on a white background from her sleeve pocket, the small porcelain jar was less than the size of a fist, and it looked ordinary, but it made Chu Qianling's heart jump suddenly.
The small porcelain jar that Chu Qianchen took out was exactly the same as the one Fang Cai Qingyu held in his hand, and the royal blue chrysanthemum twig pattern on it was so familiar.
Chu Qianling didn't care about questioning Chu Qianchen, and his eyes were glued to the small porcelain jar.
She didn't expect that Chu Qianchen actually had a bottle here!
Chu Qianling had never seen Gu Zhiyan, she just heard from Mama Zhang that the divine doctor in Jishitang had an ointment called "Shiquan Cream", and the effect of removing scars was particularly obvious, Gu Zhiyan was originally hurt even worse than her, but in a short period of time, the scars were so faint that they were almost invisible.
Mama Zhang said it mysteriously, Chu Qianling also had high hopes for the divine doctor, but several times she asked for medical treatment, but the divine doctor refused to see it, to put it in her heart, Chu Qianling still had four or five doubts in her heart about this divine doctor who was rumored to be better than Hua Tuo in Chinese medicine, but when she saw with her own eyes that the wound on Qingyu's face disappeared in just a few days, the doubts in her heart were swept away.
Now, for Chu Qianling, this ointment can be said to have pinned all her hopes.
"Give it to me!" Chu Qianling's eyes bloomed with a blazing light, and he reached out to grab it.
"No."
Chu Qianchen lightly spit out these two words and smiled.
As she spoke, her right hand let go, and the small porcelain jar slipped from between her fingers and fell to the ground with a rapid pace......
"Ahh Chu Qianling screamed hysterically at the bottom of his throat, his eyes widened, and he subconsciously rushed forward to pick up the small porcelain jar.
However, her hand fell into the air.
"Bang!"
The fragile porcelain slammed against the hard bluestone floor, and suddenly it was torn apart, and the transparent paste splattered on the ground with the fine pieces of porcelain.
Chu Qianling felt that his heart seemed to be broken.
She crouched down in despair, her fingers touching the ointment on the ground. Without this ointment, her face would never have gotten better, and the second prince would never have looked at her again......
Chu Qianchen took a step closer to Chu Qianling, and the blue lotus-colored skirt entered her field of vision, as well as the toe of the toe embroidered with a pair of colorful butterflies.
Chu Qianling's gaze looked up along the blue lotus-colored skirt, Chu Qianchen's delicate chin was slightly raised, with a kind of lofty arrogance.
At this moment, Chu Qianling felt that the bright and dusty girl in front of her was a little unfamiliar.
Chu Qianchen casually dusted down his sleeves and said lightly: "Chu Qianling, what about this perfect ointment, I'd rather smash it than give it to you." ”
She didn't call Chu Qianling's third sister, but called her by her first name, and the alienation in her words was obvious.
As early as when she knew that Chu Qianling's sword was deliberate, she no longer regarded Chu Qianling as her sister.
In her previous life, Chu Qianling ruined her face, leaving her with that terrifying scar for the rest of her life.
Originally, this life can be regarded as a retribution, but Chu Qianling has come to provoke her again and again, since this is the case, don't blame her.
Chu Qianchen thinks that he is not a broad-minded person, in the final analysis, this is the medicine she made, why should she give it to Chu Qianling?!
"Chu Qianchen!"
Chu Qianling was about to go crazy.
Her slender fingers were stained with transparent paste, and her eyes looked at Chu Qianchen with resentment and madness, as if she wanted to tear her apart.
Chu Qianchen is so vicious, she just can't think of herself, she is afraid that if her face is good, she will rob the second prince with her!
Chu Qianling's eyes were red, tears were rolling in his eyes, and his heart was burning more and more.
"Not convinced?" Chu Qianchen looked directly at Chu Qianling's eyes, his smile was faint, and the corners of his eyes and eyebrows were full of condescending coldness, "If you don't accept it, hold it back." ”
"Chu Qianchen!" Chu Qianling jumped up from the ground and pounced on Chu Qianchen, her long nails grabbing her face fiercely, eager to tear her face apart.
Chu Qianchen's figure flashed flexibly, Chu Qianling jumped into the air, fell to the ground in embarrassment, supported the ground with both hands, and his delicate palms were knocked by the sand and gravel on the ground.
"Ah, third sister, you didn't fall in pain, did you?"
Chu Qianchen looked "worried", and wanted to support Chu Qianling in the past.
Her back was to the room, and when she approached Chu Qianling, she said in a voice so low that only the two of them could hear it: "Third sister, I forgot to tell you, I still have a bottle of ointment." This is the last bottle. ”
Chu Qianling: "? ”
"But why should I give it to you?" Chu Qianchen's voice was lowered, and the words were clear, "You almost ruined my face, why do you still expect me to help you with virtue in return?" ”
"It's you who want to ruin my face! Now you deserve it. ”
"You say, don't you?"
Chu Qianchen's voice was soft, soft and cold, listening to Chu Qianling's ears, it was like a soul envoy from the underworld, Chu Qianling's limbs were cold.
Chu Qianling was a little panicked, and his body trembled slightly.
She was afraid that Chu Qianchen would go crazy and really smashed the last bottle of ointment.
"No......" Chu Qianling knelt on the ground, raised his hand and wanted to pull Chu Qianchen's sleeve, but Chu Qianchen only shook his hand lightly and easily avoided it.
Chu Qianchen sighed softly, straightened up and was about to leave, Chu Qianling hurriedly shouted: "Second sister, don't you go......"
"No, it's not that I'm going to hurt you......"
Her voice softened, her eyes and tone were pleading, so fragile, so frightened.
"You're not trying to hurt me?" Chu Qianchen tilted his little face, as if with a trace of doubt and a hint of mockery, and deliberately asked, "Someone will not let you do this?" ”
Chu Qianling: "......"
She was stunned, and her heart fluctuated violently.
"Third sister, you don't have to say anything," Chu Qianchen bypassed Chu Qianling's right side, his voice raised a few points, and said in a normal volume, "I won't give you this ointment." ”
As she spoke, she didn't look at Chu Qianling anymore and walked directly out of the courtyard.
Chu Qianling's whole body was cold, as if he was in an ice cellar, from his limbs to his heart, he was cold, and his mind was chaotic.
In the past, Chu Qianchen was cowardly and timid, and she would only be careful to please others, and she never dared to talk to herself like this.
But now Chu Qianchen seems to have completely changed as a person, confident and firm, like a deep and a mountain, which makes Chu Qianling feel a little panicked and a little inexplicably afraid.
Today, I smashed Jishitang in a fit of anger, and I have completely offended Jishitang, I'm afraid I really can't invite that miracle doctor.
If Chu Qianchen really would rather destroy the bottle of ointment than give it to himself......
Chu Qianling raised his hand and touched his cheek behind the veil, and his fingertips could easily feel the raised scar.
She must be ugly now, is she going to be like this for the rest of her life?
Chu Qianling's expression was a little dazed, and he was depressed.
She suddenly couldn't figure it out, why she wanted to ruin Chu Qianchen's appearance at that time?
In a trance, a female voice sounded in Chu Qianling's ears:
"Third sister, second sister is really beautiful, don't you say? It's no wonder that Cousin Zhao likes her......"
Chu Qianling looked at Chu Qianchen's back in front of him with a stunned expression, and muttered as if he was enchanted: "No, no." ”
At this time, Chu Qianchen, who walked to the entrance of the courtyard, stopped, still didn't look back, and said, "I won't give the ointment to someone who is planning to harm me." ”
Chu Qianchen took out a small porcelain jar with blue flowers on a white background from his sleeve pocket, and held it high, as if he would let go of his hand at any time.
"Stop!" Chu Qianling struggled to get up and blurted out, "It's not me!" It's really not like I'm going to hurt you. ”
"It's a big sister...... It was Chu Qianhuang who asked me to ruin your face! ”
"Third sister, what are you talking nonsense!" At this time, a familiar female voice came from behind, whispering.
Chu Qianling turned his head to look and saw Chu Qianhuang walking out of Chu Yunmu's room with the Shen family, the red-clothed girl's face turned pale, and she looked at Chu Qianling with an unbelievable look.
"Third sister, how can you talk nonsense!"
"Mother, third sister she, she ......"
She was angry and anxious, her palm-sized Qingli little face was full of grievances, and she was so angry that she spoke incoherently, "Third sister, I know you want the ointment of the divine doctor, but you can't just climb me indiscriminately." ”
Chu Qianchen turned around slowly, grabbed the small porcelain jar in his hand, pinched it, and looked back and forth at Chu Qianhuang and Chu Qianling, looking dazed.
"For this perfect anointing?" She seemed to be talking to herself, and she seemed to be questioning.
Ten Perfect Cream!! Chu Qianling stared at the small porcelain jar in Chu Qianchen's hand, and was slightly relieved to see that she didn't smash it again.
Chu Qianling clenched his fists tightly, and met the different gazes of the Shen family, Chu Qianhuang and Chu Qianchen, and the people in the courtyard also looked at him with complicated expressions, whispering one after another.
Chu Qianling was only twelve years old, and he had never encountered such a situation, and he was in chaos for a while.
However, the words that came out of her mouth were like water spilled out, and she could not swallow them back.
She's telling the truth anyway!
Chu Qianling raised his hand and pointed at Chu Qianhuang and pointed out, "It's the big sister." It was the big sister who made me do this! ”
Chu Qianling's ears rang again, and the words that Chu Qianhuang said to her in the past-
"Third sister, do you know that the family intends to choose one person between you and the second sister to be a side concubine for Cousin Zhao."
"I saw that when I was a child, Cousin Zhao obviously treated you more kindly, but my daughter has changed eighteen, and the second sister is indeed born well, even I have to take a few more looks, let alone Cousin Zhao."
"Just like my grandmother said, some things are destined by heaven, and the second sister's face can enter the eyes of Cousin Zhao, which is also her blessing."
"Third sister, don't be too sad. As the saying goes, beauty is in the bones, not in the skin. No matter how good this appearance is, it won't last long after all. ”
“……”
Chu Qianling repeated all of Chu Qianhuang's words in one go, emphasizing: "These words are all said by the big sister!" ”
At that moment just now, Chu Qianling suddenly felt enlightened and completely figured it out.
Although she had always hated this bewitching Chu Qianchen, if Chu Qianhuang hadn't said those words in front of her, she wouldn't have thought of ruining Chu Qianchen's face!
"By the way, it's also the eldest sister who praised me for dancing the sword well, saying that Cousin Zhao likes to watch me dance the sword, so I will temporarily take the pair of mandarin duck swords and want to show him the sword......"
That's why everything that happened later!
Right!
It's all Chu Qianhuang's fault!
It's all Chu Qianhuang who harmed her!
Chu Qianling looked at Chu Qianhuang's eyes with resentment, and transferred his disgust for Chu Qianchen and his fear of disfigurement to Chu Qianhuang.
"Third sister." Chu Qianhuang interrupted Chu Qianling eagerly, his face could not hide the indignation of being wronged, and he said, "I didn't!" ”
"Sister Huang, is what Sister Ling said true?" Shen looked at Chu Qianhuang with a complicated expression, shocked, hesitant, and confused.
Just now, she heard the quarrel outside in the house, so she came out to take a look, but she didn't expect to hear this conversation.
From the bottom of her heart, she didn't want to believe what Chu Qianling said.
Chu Qianhuang is her daughter who was raised by her own hands, she has been sensible and well-behaved since she was a child, she is obedient and filial to her elders, and she takes care of her younger brothers and sisters.
How could she do such a thing!
Verbally instigating one sister to bully another!?
How could her daughter be vicious like this!
Shen's instinct told her that she wouldn't, but listening to Chu Qianling's words and looking at her expression at the moment, it didn't look like she was lying......
"Mother," Chu Qianhuang shook his head at the Shen family and said, "I didn't." ”
She looked directly into Shen's eyes and said, "Mother, you believe me...... I have no reason to harm my second sister. Her eyes were slightly red, worried, angry, and uneasy.
Chu Qianchen muttered, "Yes, big sister has no reason to harm me. She rubbed the small porcelain jar in her hand, and seemed to be confused by Chu Qianhuang and Chu Qianling.
Not bad. Shen looked at Chu Qianhuang in a daze, and his hand unconsciously strained himself, clenching the handkerchief in his hand tighter.
It stands to reason that her daughter has no reason to harm Chu Qianchen. To do such things is to harm others and not to oneself.
"Not really!" Chu Qianling shouted, with a bit of hoarse confusion.
She was already in a dilemma, and she hated Chu Qianhuang even more in her heart, obviously she herself didn't like Chu Qianchen, but she wanted to provoke herself and kill people with a knife!
"Sister Ling!"
At this time, the second lady Liu arrived in a hurry, and her breath was messy.
She saw her daughter standing there helplessly, surrounded by the three people of the main courtyard, except for the three of Shen's mother and daughter, who looked like people in the courtyard were bullying their daughters.
Liu's has always been protective of his shortcomings, strode over, and shouted in his mouth: "Sister Ling, don't be afraid, my mother is here!" ”
"Mother."
As soon as she saw Liu, Chu Qianling was like seeing a savior, tears rolled down in an instant, she threw herself at Liu, and cried: "Mother, it's a big sister!" ”
"It was the eldest sister who instigated me, so I wanted to ruin Chu Qianchen's face."
"Then, my face will ......"
Chu Qianling covered her cheeks behind the veil in pain.
Thinking back to the pain I have suffered in the past few days, and the despair of being disfigured by the doctor once and again, all of them came to my heart at this moment.
After saying over and over again, "It was the big sister who hurt me", Chu Qianling at this time had already identified this.
All her hatred, all her resentment, all her resentment, all turned to Chu Qianhuang.
Hearing this, Liu Shi "chuckled" in his heart, and said suspiciously: "Sister Ling, what do you say?" You can't be mistaken. ”
Chu Qianhuang is the eldest daughter of the Chu family's generation, she has always been outstanding, elegant and intelligent, how could she do such a thing?
Liu's shock and hesitation were clearly on his face.
Seeing that even his mother didn't believe him, Chu Qianling became even more angry, and her facial features were a little distorted.
She pointed at Chu Qianhuang and said, "What I said just now was all from you!" ”
"I, Chu Qianling, am willing to swear to the sky, if I have a word of falsehood, I will be thundered and struck by the sky, and I will not die well!"
"Just let my face never get better!"
Chu Qianling shouted angrily, staring at Chu Qianhuang a few steps away viciously, "Chu Qianhuang, do you dare to swear, you say!" ”
She was like a wounded young beast, with a madness and despair of being in a desperate situation.
Chu Qianhuang: "I ......"
Chu Qianhuang's face turned even paler, and his breathing seemed to stagnate.
Her eyes were a little flickering, she took a deep breath, and said slowly: "Since the third sister said so, then, I, Chu Qianhuang, swear to the sky, if it is really my instigated ......"
"Enough!"
At this time, Shen suddenly interrupted Chu Qianhuang.
Shen's waist was straight and as elegant as usual, but looking at Chu Qianhuang's gaze, it was extremely sharp, and his heart was full of disappointment.
At the moment when Chu Qianling asked her daughter to swear, her daughter's face flashed with trepidation, although she concealed it well, but Shen still saw it at a glance.
In other words, most of her daughter actually said those words.
Shen's phoenix eyes were gloomy, and his voice said in a slightly astringent voice: "Sister Huang, you say, did you say such things to your third sister?" ”
"From childhood to adulthood, if you panic in your heart, you will nervously pick your fingertips."
"Don't try to lie to me!"
The last five words, Shen Shi said extremely sharply, shooting like a sharp arrow.
Chu Qianhuang's heart jumped suddenly, and he subconsciously let go of his right hand.
The crumpled handkerchief slipped from her hand and landed on the icy ground.
And on the tip of her index finger, a blood-red scratch appeared on it.
Chu Qianhuang's pupils flickered and dimmed.
She gritted her teeth, her cheeks were as white as paper, and said, "Mother, I never wanted to hurt my third sister to hurt my second sister." Things are not as the third sister said. ”
"Mother, in those days, the third sister was in a bad mood, she always said, always said, always said, ......"
She glanced at Chu Qianchen, who was standing aside, bit her lower lip slightly, and seemed to feel embarrassed, "She always said that the second sister was seducing Cousin Zhao and was depressed, so I comforted her a few words." ”
"I did say those words, but the third sister completely thought about it, I just wanted to tell the third sister that the second sister is good-looking, but the beauty is not in the skin, and the wife is married to a virtuous wife, how can she just look at the face, the third sister shouldn't be sad about this, which affects the sisters' feelings."
"Mother, I really didn't know that the third sister would have such a mind!"
