Chapter 137: Horrific Scars
"When my father was condemned, many officials who were friendly with him begged for him, but there was no Shaoqing of Taichang Temple among those people. At that time, His Majesty did not implicate the nine clans, and the married female dependents were also safe and sound.
Later, my father knelt down and begged Taichang Temple Shaoqing to fulfill the marriage contract, wanting to preserve my innocence, but their family was afraid of being angered by His Majesty, so they tore up the marriage certificate and drove my father out......"
Zuiqin and Nanshuang had never heard Yuanhe talk about her before she was in the Qinglou, and when they heard it suddenly, their eyes were red, and they looked at this sister who had always taken care of them with pity.
Nanshuang took her hand, always with Frost in her mouth, and her eyes were full of comfort when she was not interested in everything.
Zuiqin threw herself into her arms with a whining and hugged her and cried bitterly.
"Sister Yuanhe, don't be sad for that kind of dog man, it's not worth it!"
Yuan He pulled a strong smile, patted Zuiqin's head gently, and then looked up and said with a little apology: "Let Childe see and laugh." ”
Mu Xiwen looked at Yuanhe in front of him and deeply felt the oppression of women in this era. Obviously, she is such a talented and intelligent woman, but she was tricked by fate and wasted half her life.
"It's okay, Sister Yuanhe, Zuiqin is right, that kind of man is not worth your sadness for her. Three-legged toads are hard to find, and there are many two-legged men.
It's a good thing that the kind of negative man sees it clearly early, you have to have good looks, you have to be talented, and the man who pursues you will definitely be able to row from Sajin Street to Gongchen Street, and I will help you pick one when the time comes. ”
This serious remark amused Yuan He, but she was even more surprised and excited by the meaning of "support" revealed in the other party's words.
She hurriedly hit the railroad while it was hot: "As for Zuiqin, her identity is much simpler than ours......" said this, but she looked hesitant and a little embarrassed.
"Sister Yuanhe, I'll talk about my own business."
Zuiqin took Yuanhe's words and said directly: "I'm not like Sister Yuanhe and Nanshuang, just an ordinary peasant girl. My father and mother gave birth to three female dolls, and it was not easy for me to get such a baby bump as my brother.
Six years ago, when I was thirteen years old, there was a drought in my hometown, and my family was so poor that I couldn't eat, so my father and mother sold me to Manchun Yuan for ten taels of silver. The eldest sister and the third sister were also sold by them, but I don't know where they were sold, I haven't seen them in so many years.
After coming to Manchun Courtyard, Mother Li saw that I was a beauty, so she carefully trained me so that I could take the place of Sister Yuanhe as the top card in the future.
Sister Yuanhe also mentioned before that Qingqi is more valuable than Hongqi, after all, Qingqi are all talented and beautiful people, and according to the inferior nature of those stinky men, what you can't get is always the best.
So Mother Li originally cultivated me as a Qingqi, just waiting for the most suitable time to auction off my first night at a high price. Unfortunately, her dream was soon shattered.
When I was seventeen years old, a wealthy merchant from another place came to me, and for only five hundred taels of silver, he tried to pour me wine and force me to get drunk. So what can I do? Unless it's a beautiful boy like you, it's pretty much the same. ”
She grinned and rubbed Mu Xiwen's oil again, "Of course I can't resist facing that kind of bad old man." But I was weak, and I was no match for the rich businessman, and in order to keep my innocence, I was confused for a moment, so I took off the golden hairpin on my head and scratched my face.
At that time, there was blood all over the ground, you don't know how embarrassed the rich businessman was so frightened, crying dad and shouting to get out of the room, hahaha. Later, because he said that he was frightened, the five hundred taels of silver were also taken back from Li's mother. ”
Saying that, Zuiqin pursed her mouth and looked unhappy, "As a result, Mother Li vented all the fire on me, blaming me for scaring the guests, blaming me for ruining her face for many years of careful service, blaming me for letting her dream of building the next Oiran of Manchun Yuan burn to the ground, so I let the turtle beat me hard, and locked me in the firewood room and was not allowed to eat." Fortunately, Sister Yuanhe came to my aid, otherwise I would have starved to death. ”
Although he guessed what happened to Zuiqin, seeing her say it in such an insignificant tone, Mu Xiwen couldn't help but feel sorry for the beauty.
"Can I see your face?" She gently stroked the veil of the drunken qin.
Zuiqin was stunned for a moment, and a touch of gloom quickly crossed her eyes, so fast that Mu Xiwen almost thought it was her own illusion.
"Okay, but I'm not responsible for being scared." She lifted her veil with a big grin.
Several hideous and terrifying scars lay across the delicate face, the deepest of which slashed diagonally from the bridge of the nose under the corner of the eye to the chin at the bottom of the eye.
The red and white flesh were intertwined, like a dead vine deeply rooted in her face.
In addition to the most conspicuous scar, there were two or three other scars that grinned fiercely on Zuiqin's face.
Looking at these scars, you can know how firm the determination and courage of the owner of this face was at that time.
Maybe the look of pity and pity in her eyes was too obvious, and Zuiqin, who was already used to being ridiculed, suddenly felt ashamed of herself.
She felt like an ugly duckling, shamelessly showing her ugliness to everyone.
With a shake of her veiled hand, she covered the ugly scar with a bit of panic, and built a strong fortress of her proud self-esteem.
She flicked her hair to cover her face, and said in her throat, "Haha, were you scared by me?" ”
Mu Xiwen looked at her steadily, and when her smile became more and more stiff, he suddenly hugged her in his arms.
"I have a way to heal your face, completely healed."
There was a light sound in her ears, and Zuiqin felt as if she was drunk, or asleep, otherwise, how could she hear such words that she never dared to dream of?
She was stiff like a sculpture, but she was held by Mu Xiwen in a daze, unable to make any response.
It was Yuan He and Nan Shuang on the side who reacted first, they looked at Mu Xiwen in surprise and joy, and asked in disbelief: "Childe, can the scar on Zuiqin's face really be cured?" ”
Mu Xiwen nodded gently, "I can develop a special scar removal ointment for Zuiqin's face, as long as I insist on applying it, over time, I will definitely be able to heal the scars on her face." ”
As soon as the words fell, Mu Xiwen keenly noticed that the body in her arms trembled, and she hugged the drunken qin in her arms even harder.
After a while, Zuiqin finally calmed down her mood, she blushed, looked up at Mu Xiwen with some embarrassment, and said softly: "Childe, are you willing to buy Manchun Courtyard?"
The tender voice was so charming that it almost dripped.
