Chapter 506 Ma Bo Powder

Yun Jue is dead, but the living must continue to live.

Her poor sister is still waiting for her son to come home.

So, she wanted to replace Mu Qing's ugly face with Lu Yunjue's.

That was the child she had raised for more than ten years. No, to be precise, he was just her nephew.

She wanted to return him to his sister, even though it meant letting him live in this world with the face of his biological brother.

All the suffering he had endured because of Mu Qing's ugly face fell into her seemingly indifferent eyes.

What Jiang Yao didn't want to admit was that beneath her cold and resolute face, there might be a hint of softness that she didn't want to tell others.

She thought at the time that this child's life had been hard enough.

If he could live in the sunshine with this face, restore his status as the young master of the Lu family, and with Lu Yunjue's identity as someone who is supported by thousands of people... no, even just living the life of an ordinary person would be fine.

Even if it is just to allow this child who has been looked at strangely by others since childhood to feel a little bit of the genuine love from others, it would be a blessing for him.

Jiang Yao had just lost her beloved son and was incapable of loving. She could only use extreme words and wrap herself in hatred in order to continue living in this difficult world.

But the difference between her and Liu Se is that Liu Se would vent her anger and grievances on others because of all the misfortunes she suffered, and even take pleasure in torturing others.

After all, she is still the woman who had the dream of being a chivalrous hero. Even though she no longer has the ability to give warmth to others, she will not harm others.

She looked at Hu Xin'er, and at this moment her eyes were softer than she had expected: "Eat first, don't think too much."

Hu Xiner opened her mouth to say something, but closed it in frustration, then sat down on the stone steps without caring about her image at all.

But when she picked up the chopsticks, she was stunned. These were all her favorite dishes.

Jiang Yao glanced at her and resumed her usual indifferent expression. "What are you doing standing there like an idiot? Eat quickly."

Hu Xiner nodded, but as she ate, tears began to fall.

The tears fell into the bowl and shattered, and the rice in my mouth tasted a little salty.

She held back her tears.

"There's nothing to cry about," Jiang Yao said calmly. "Think positively. After this, you'll be able to stay with your husband forever. How's that? Are you happy?"

Hu Xin'er cried even harder: "Aunt, are they in danger in there? Why haven't they come out for so long?"

Jiang Yao said calmly, "If there was real danger, you wouldn't be seeing them now."

Hu Xin'er couldn't help but sniff: "Aunt, could you please not always have such a calm expression? It makes me look so fragile."

"Hehe." Jiang Yao tried to hold back, but couldn't help it and showed her a look of disgust.

Hu Xiner also knew that they probably wouldn't be in any danger, but she still couldn't help feeling anxious and worried.

Such a long time has passed, and there is no sound from inside. Could it be that...

"Wait, there seems to be a large amount of Ma Fei San among the medicinal materials prepared by the Taoist priest!" A picture suddenly flashed through her mind, and she even forgot to cry for a moment.

"Well, what's wrong?" Jiang Yao raised an eyebrow and looked at her. "You're about to be a mother, but why are you still so jumpy? Can you be more calm?"

Hu Xiner said anxiously: "Ma Fei San is an anesthetic. After using it, it will paralyze the whole body and also has an analgesic effect. In other words-"

She stood up suddenly and looked back at the room. She stood up too hastily and knocked over the food box on the ground.

"Xin'er, what are you doing?" Jiang Yao confirmed that no one had revealed to Hu Xin'er the dangers of face-changing surgery. Her expression remained calm, but her heart was in turmoil because of Hu Xin'er's actions.

Hu Xin'er ran to the door and wanted to knock on it, but suddenly pulled her hand back. She turned around and looked at Jiang Yao in panic: "Aunt, tell me the truth, are they in danger?"

Jiang Yao frowned and said, "Of course not..."

"Don't lie to me!" Hu Xin'er pleaded. "If this much anesthetic is needed, it must be a major operation. Face-swapping isn't some magical secret technique from the martial arts world. It requires surgery, right?"

If surgery is required, isn't that plastic surgery? Peeling the entire skin off a person's face is a plastic surgery that, besides requiring extremely high technical skills, is almost impossible to perform in modern times.

Even if we have martial arts, true qi, rare herbs and other things here, how can this kind of surgery be without danger?

But the Taoist priests assured her that there was no danger at all. It was obvious that they were deliberately deceiving her!

Thinking that Mu Qing's entire face might be completely peeled off, Hu Xiner was frightened. I felt that I could no longer endure it for a moment, but I was worried that the knocking on the door would delay the Taoist priest's operation.

Jiang Yao was so terribly confused by her questioning that she couldn't lie anymore. Her brows furrowed even tighter. "How do you know all this?"

These words undoubtedly confirmed what Hu Xiner was thinking. Her pupils shrank, and her body slowly slid down against the door frame, almost collapsing on the ground.

"Xin'er, what's wrong with you?" Jiang Yao saw her exhausted appearance and was very worried about her safety.

The reason they didn't tell Hu Xin'er the truth was because they were worried that such a scene would happen!

If something really happened to Mu Qing, at least Hu Xiner and a child could be left behind.

But what should I do if something happens to Hu Xiner?

Hu Xin'er's eyes were dull, her mind had already flown into the room. Bloody scenes kept appearing in her mind, and tears fell.

"Aunt...Aunt." Her mouth opened and closed silently, making sobbing sounds.

"I'm here." Jiang Yao didn't know what to do and could only try her best to calm her down.

Hu Xiner got a response, but she was crying so hard that she couldn't speak.

"Don't be nervous. It was fine last time, and Yiqing is already proficient this time, so it's definitely going to be fine!" Jiang Yao was so anxious that sweat was almost breaking out on her forehead. She simply said in a commanding tone, "Anyway, don't be nervous. If anything goes wrong, how am I going to explain it to them?"

Hu Xin'er gave a smile that was uglier than crying: "I know, but...how can I not worry?!"

Her voice was choked with sobs, giving people the feeling that she was on the verge of breaking down.

If she had known that this would threaten her life, why would she have persuaded Mu Qing to have a face transplant?!
