As she abused the principle of "add more water if there's too much flour, add more flour if there's too much water," she soon discovered that she had used up all the white flour in the flour sack, and that the basin, her hands, and her clothes were covered with flour and flour flakes, some dry and some wet.

Feeling guilty, she realized she was only ten years old, and she ran crying towards the main room.

Guan Yumei got up despite her splitting headache and saw Su Manao standing there, grinning and crying.

She felt her blood rushing to her head, pulled Su Manao over, and slapped her on the buttocks.

One, two, three...

Su Manao was stunned.

After being slapped, she unlocked a new life experience—being spanked.

A few seconds later, she remembered to cry: "Mom, I wanted to cook you a meal because you're sick! Mom! I was worried about you!"

Guan Yumei stared at her with disgust: "Shut up! Don't howl!" Then, she suddenly asked suspiciously, "How did you become so ugly?"

Su Manao immediately forgot to cry.

A few seconds later, she rushed out of the main room and back to the west wing.

Ignoring the noodles on his hands, he grabbed the broken mirror from the windowsill and started looking at himself.

"ah!"

A large, dark face was reflected in the mirror. She screamed and dropped the mirror in fright.

The stubborn lens did not break again.

After a while, she picked up the mirror again and looked at herself carefully.

When did my skin become so dark?

Upon closer inspection, she realized that it wasn't that her skin was dark, but rather that her face was shrouded in a thick cloud of black mist!

His once striking features became dull and lifeless under the influence of the black aura.

Su Manao gasped, touching her empty neck, and muttered, "It's over... Pearl... Su Pearl, you old maid who can't get married, I won't let you get away with this..."

Guan Yumei had already forced herself out of bed. She followed her over and saw Su Manao muttering to herself, feeling a little apprehensive: "Third girl, what's wrong with you? Why do you suddenly want to cook? Where's that jinx?"

Su Manao shook her head: "When I got up, my second sister was already gone. Not only my second sister, but my fourth brother was also gone."

Guan Yumei asked suspiciously, "The fourth brother isn't here either? Then... where's your eldest sister?"

Su Manao continued to shake her head: "My eldest sister didn't come back all night."

"What?!" Guan Yumei's eyes widened. "Why didn't you tell me sooner?"
