"Master Yuan is a good intention, he is afraid that his wife will be sad when she sees his face."

"Yes." Mrs. Yuan touched her face.

"I can't see myself, but I know I've become ugly. Although he said that he would treat me as before, everything was different after all. He no longer shared a room with me, and even moved his things to the shop. He was busier than ever, so busy that he didn't have time to have a meal with me. ”

"Ma'am." Xing Ruyi looked at Mrs. Yuan, not knowing how to comfort her.

Men are visual creatures, and this has not changed since ancient times. For Mrs. Yuan, Master Yuan has feelings, not only feelings, but also pity, guilt and even self-blame. But no amount of emotion can make up for the psychological impact of facing ugly scars for a long time.

"I don't even want to see this face of mine, how can I force my lord. Therefore, in the early years, I also mentioned the matter of helping the lord take a concubine, but the lord himself disagreed. He said, "My face was ruined for him," and he promised me that he would never fail me all the rest of his life. Mrs. Yuan said, her eyes cold. But he still failed me, not only failed me, but he also deceived me. ”

"Maybe Master Yuan has his last resort." Xing Ruyi said something that he didn't even believe in himself.

In this world, people's hearts are unpredictable, especially men's hearts, which are more complex than women's emotions during special periods.

"That's what I thought, so I wanted to ask the shopkeeper to help me." Mrs. Yuan stroked her face: "If I can get rid of these ugly scars, my lord, he may be able to return to my side." ”

Xing Ruyi took a closer look at the scar on Mrs. Yuan's face, and said: "Since Mrs. is Siniang's friend, that is, my Ruyi's friend, if I don't help, I can't make sense of reason, it's just ......."

"Just what?"

"It's just that there are some things that I have to tell you about it, madam." Xing Ruyi adjusted his sitting posture slightly: "If the injury on Madame's face is recent, Ruyi has a way to help Madame recover, although I dare not finish speaking, it will be as good as ever, but at least it will not be as obvious as now." For now, all I can do is cover up for you, Madame. ”

"Cover-up?" Mrs. Yuan touched her face, "What does the shopkeeper mean by covering up?" ”

"A palliative approach that doesn't cure the root cause."

Mrs. Yuan's eyes dimmed, and after a moment, some light returned.

"Then please ask the shopkeeper to cover it up for me." Madame Yuan stood up and saluted.

"Madame is polite, please wait a moment." Xing Ruyi got up and made corresponding preparations.

At the very bottom of the counter, there is an iron box containing many skins. These skins, from different places, will also be used in different places. Xing Ruyi picked and chosen, and finally chose a piece of face with a skin color similar to Mrs. Yuan's, the same texture as her skin, and the same skin taken from her face.

Skin grafting surgery, Xing Ruyi is still the first time to do it, fortunately, she uses ghost techniques, not scalpels, so she doesn't have to worry about what accidents will happen during the operation.

"Okay, ma'am, are you satisfied?"

In the bronze mirror, there is a flawless face, especially the piece of skin that has just been replaced, which fits her original skin perfectly. Mrs. Yuan stroked it gently, but she couldn't feel the slightest abnormality.

"My face ......"

"It doesn't look exactly the same as Madame's original face?"

"Same, exactly the same."

"Madame is satisfied." Xing Ruyi put down the bronze mirror: "Madame, remember that this skin cannot be close to the fire source, once it is close, it will fall off on its own, and after it falls off, it can no longer be used." ”

"I made a note of it."

"There is another point that needs to be explained to Madame." Xing Ruyi paused slightly: "This skin changing technique is not the right way after all, the longer Madame uses this skin, the greater the damage to herself." This injury is not the kind that is visible to the naked eye, but something else. For example, the longevity of a lady. ”

"If you gain one thing and lose one thing, in this world, there is no benefit that can be obtained in the first place." Mrs. Yuan rose up: "These words, even if the shopkeeper doesn't say them clearly, I know them in my heart." The shopkeeper can rest assured that I have it, and I am ready to give up. ”

Mrs. Yuan put a bag of silver on the table, and looking at the weight, it was only as much as a hundred taels. Xing Ruyi did not pretend to excuse himself, but directly asked the magpie to put it away.

When Madame Yuan left, it was getting late, and the magpie carried a lantern and put her in the carriage. When he turned around, he saw that his shopkeeper was rushing towards Mrs. Yuan's carriage.

"What is my sister thinking? It's not that the business just now did a loss. ”

"It's a bit of a loss."

"Do you want the magpie to catch up?" The magpie gestured to the carriage that was drifting away.

"Do you want to go after him and ask for money?" Xing Ruyi tapped on the magpie's head: "That cheek, I really didn't get it easily, but it can't be regarded as a loss when used on Mrs. Yuan." When I say loss, I mean something else. ”

"Something else?" The magpie blinked, "Is there anything more serious in this world than the loss of silver?" ”

"It is also said that only silver is the most real thing in this world." Xing Ruyi stretched his waist: "Is there anything else to eat in the kitchen?" I am hungry. ”

"Yes, I knew that my sister would be hungry, so I prepared it early in the morning. My sister waited, and when I closed the door, I went to bring it to my sister. ”

In the carriage, Mrs. Yuan sat still.

The man who drove the carriage did not move.

"How's it going?"

"If you go back to Mrs., it's already done."

Mrs. Yuan closed her eyes and said in a deep voice, "Take me to see him." ”

"Yes."

"Do you think I'm ruthless?"

"That's what he deserves, and Madame has not deserved it to him all these years."

"I'm not asking him, it's you."

"Madame treats me very well, and there is no place that does not stand up to me."

"If you hadn't saved me, you wouldn't be where you are today."

The flickering glass lamp was placed on the driver's face, revealing a mottled and uneven face.

"If it weren't for me, Madame wouldn't be what she is now." The coachman shook his hand, and his hands were full of burn marks, and even his fingers were deformed: "This life of mine was given by my wife, but it's a pity that I didn't protect my wife, and my wife became what she is now." ”

"It has nothing to do with you, I was the one who knocked over the glass lamp by mistake, and I didn't listen to the advice and insisted on snatching the cloth. I was just...... I just don't think I should involve you anymore. ”

"I volunteered, not Madame." The coachman lowered his head, his voice hoarse.

In the carriage, Mrs. Yuan did not speak again, but directly lifted the curtain with her hand, and her eyes fell on the coachman's somewhat awkward back, not knowing what she was thinking.

Nightmare.

Master Yuan, who fainted, had a long, long nightmare.

In the dream, he returned to the night he married his wife.

The new house was dilapidated, and there was nothing festive to be seen except for the pair of red candles at the head of the bed. The wife sat on the edge of the bed with her head down, her hands wringing together uneasily. His heart was beating like a drum, and he wanted to see her, but he was a little embarrassed. Finally, he mustered up his courage, cautiously walked to the side of the bed, and said softly: "It's not too early, or let's rest in peace." ”

His wife raised her head and looked at him with a pair of shy and timid eyes, but they also instantly suffocated him.

His face turned red and he was about to retreat, but he almost stumbled to the ground.

The wife smiled, and smiled very beautifully.

She stretched out her hand to him and said, "Husband, don't you want to fall asleep on the ground?" ”

He got up in embarrassment, hugged her with a complicated and joyful mood, and when he looked closely, the face in his arms became another woman's. With hatred in her eyes, she asked him sarcastically at the corners of her mouth, "Husband, do you remember the promise you made to me that day?" ”

Fire came out of the woman's eyes in an instant, and the fiery snake burned his skin, devouring him inch by inch.

"Don't ...... No...... Don't! ”

woke up and sweated, but Master Yuan couldn't tell whether it was a cold sweat from being frightened or a hot sweat from the fire snake in his dream. All he knew was that the sweat, sticky to the flesh, made him feel extremely uncomfortable. As far as the eye could see, it was still pitch black, and he struggled to get up from the ground, smelling a fishy smell in the air.

The fishy smell is somewhat familiar.
