Main courtyard.

Xue Cheng, who was carried into the room, screamed and howled heartbreakingly. Han was heartbroken and anxious, wishing she could bear it for him. At the same time, she hated Xue Huan for causing her son such harm.

When the doctor finally arrived, Han couldn't help but say, "Quick, let Cheng'er take a look."

At the same time, she comforted Xue Cheng: "Sheng'er, be good. The doctor is here and the pain will go away soon. Just bear with it for a while and don't touch it."

She held her son's hands with both hands to prevent him from scratching his face and tearing off his skin, which would really disfigure him.

After the doctor examined Xue Cheng, he immediately treated him. When applying the medicine, Xue Cheng fainted from the pain.

Han was so heartbroken that she wished she could faint too.

After applying the medicine to Xue Cheng, the doctor said, "Madam, this medicine can only temporarily alleviate the prince's injuries. If you want to cure them completely, unless you have the Jade Face Cream, the prince will most likely be left with scars on his face."

When Han heard the word "scar", her first reaction was, absolutely not! How could her healthy son have a scar on his face?

Although Dayong respects martial arts and does not attach much importance to the appearance of warriors, a scar on the face can affect one's future marriage and even inheritance of a marquisate!

However, Yurong Cream, an ointment that is very effective in removing scars and beautifying the skin, is extremely valuable and difficult to buy even if you have money, because the ointment's refiner, Master Le, who is also the alchemy elder of Changyan Sect, Le Changtian, can only refine a few boxes of Yurong Cream a year.

As soon as it came out, it was bought up by the royal family or those powerful forces, and ordinary people could not buy it at all.

Although the Marquis' Mansion is quite powerful in Dayong, it is nothing in the entire Dongzhou.

Because there are countless sects in Dongzhou countries, Dayong is just one of the more powerful countries.

However, if there is no such thing in the Marquis' Mansion, there might be one in the palace. Thinking of her sister who is the queen, hope rose in Han's heart again.

After the doctor left, she told the wet nurse and maids to take good care of Xue Cheng, then hurried into the palace to ask to see the queen.

As soon as she saw the Queen, Han rushed to her and cried, "Sister, that Xue Huan is such a disaster!"

As soon as he opened his mouth, the queen's expression changed. "What's going on? Tell me slowly."

Han exaggerated the story of how Xue Huan returned to the Marquis' Mansion and caused Xue Cheng to fall into the brazier and be disfigured. The queen frowned when she heard it. It was originally thought that Xue Huan would die soon after she was sent to Pengcheng, but who knew that she had lived until now.

Originally, everyone had forgotten about the engagement between Xue Huan and the prince many years ago, but who knew that bitch Yan Linglong brought it up again, forcing her to send someone to bring Xue Huan back.

As a result, as soon as Xue Huan came back, she got into such trouble!

The little feelings the Queen had for Xue Huan had long been exhausted over the years. Now, because she had to fulfill the promise she made many years ago, she felt resentment towards her. After hearing what Han said, her impression of her became even worse.

Why didn’t she die in that remote town? If she had died, I wouldn’t have to go through so much trouble.

Of course, despite her thoughts, the Queen didn't show it on her face. She simply sent her maid to fetch the Jade Beauty Cream and handed it to Han. "You came here for this, right? I don't have much left in this box. Take it back and give it to Cheng'er. I'll find a way to ask His Majesty for another box."

Han took it and wiped the tears from her face, "Thank you, sister. I have to go back and apply medicine to Cheng'er, so I won't stay any longer."

"Go ahead."

Sitting in the carriage on the way back, Han opened the box of Yurong Cream.

Yurong Cream is originally a small box, about the size of a chess piece, but such a small box is sold at a high price. This shows how huge the profit of medicine is.

However, refining medicine is difficult, and the cost of training an alchemist is not something that ordinary people can afford.

Back to the present, after Han opened the Yurong Cream, she found that only a fingernail-sized lump of plaster was left inside.

There is only a small amount, I am afraid it will be gone after applying it twice.

I just hope my sister can get another box from His Majesty.

Han got the medicine and hurried back to the house to give the Yurong ointment to Xue Cheng.

Looking at her son's scalded face, burnt eyebrows, and painful expression, Han's heart was in a knot.

Xue, Huan!

She and this bitch are irreconcilable!

"Go and invite the Marquis back. He said the prince's face was burned by the charcoal fire and was disfigured."

The servant went there quickly.

As the servant left, the old lady who had heard the news rushed over. "I heard Cheng'er's face was burned? What happened?"

In this mansion, if we were to talk about who doted on Xue Cheng the most, it would undoubtedly be the old lady. She treated her grandson Xue Cheng with all her heart and soul, treating him like the flesh and blood. She would not tolerate anyone touching him or saying a bad word about him.

This resulted in Xue Zhi, his father, sometimes having no idea how to discipline him, because if he spoke in a slightly harsher tone, Xue Cheng would run to the old lady to complain, and then the old lady would call her son over and scold him.

After a few times, Xue Zhi was too lazy to care about Xue Cheng anymore.

The old lady had the habit of chanting scriptures, and she would stay in the Buddhist hall for an hour every day without fail. No one was allowed to disturb her during this period. When she came out of the Buddhist hall, she learned the news that Xue Cheng was burned and disfigured, and she immediately rushed over in a hurry.

Although the old lady is the oldest woman in the mansion, you can't tell from her appearance, because she looks only a few years older than Han. She really has a good way of maintaining herself.

Facing this mother-in-law, Han was also a little scared, because the old lady was not only of a higher generation and her mother-in-law, but also a warrior in the True Martial Realm. Her cultivation was much stronger than her, a low-level warrior who was only at the third level of the Body Refining Realm.

When facing her, Han felt as if she was being crushed by her mother-in-law's aura and couldn't breathe.

The old lady asked questions as she strode in. Han followed her and told her the whole story again.

When the old lady heard the news that Lin Lan's daughter Xue Huan had returned, she paused and glanced sharply at Han: "Why is she back?"

Han: "Before Lin Lan died, didn't she ask the Empress for a promise? She said that when Xue Huan turned fifteen, the Crown Prince would marry her as the Crown Princess. A while ago, Concubine Yan brought up this matter, and the Empress had no choice but to send someone to bring Xue Huan back."

Knowing that the old lady disliked Lin Lan very much, and also disliked Lin Lan's daughter Xue Huan, Han called them by their names when talking about them, without any respect.

The old lady didn't care and even condoned her.

As they were talking, the two of them had already arrived at the inner room. When the old lady saw her grandson lying on the bed with a miserable look on his face, she immediately forgot about Xue Huan and rushed to the bedside. She reached out to touch her grandson, but was afraid of hurting her.

Han threw herself at her feet and tugged at her sleeve, "Mother, you have to take charge of Cheng'er. Xue Huan has caused Cheng'er to become like this since she came back. She's clearly a disaster! A source of misfortune!"
