The next day, at dawn, Chang'an went towards Gu Shirou's courtyard with regret.

Meng Sichan is Gu Qingyun's concubine. In the general's mansion, she is a quiet person who devotes herself to worshipping Buddha and living her own life.

Her daughter, Gu Shirou, also believes in Buddhism and worships Buddha like her mother.

"Is Aunt Meng here?" Chang'an walked into the courtyard.

Soon, Meng Sichan came out of the room.

She looked at Chang'an in surprise and couldn't say a word for a long time.

In the end, it was Changan who spoke first, "Changan meets Aunt Meng."

"Are you... Chang'an?"

"Yes." Chang'an walked towards Meng Sichan, "I wonder how Sister Shirou is doing now."

"Come in quickly." Meng Sichan's words were a little excited.

Entering the room, Chang'an saw Neng Shirou sitting on the bed, holding a bronze mirror in her hand, looking at her face in a daze.

"Shirou." Meng Sichan walked to his daughter's side, "Your second sister is here to see you."

Gu Shirou then slowly turned her head, her eyes seemed a little moist, and she just looked at Chang'an without saying a word.

She didn't seem surprised that Chang'an no longer had any scars on his face.

After all, last night, she used the medicine sent by Chang'an, and the marks on her face scratched by Gu Shirou disappeared.

"Shirou, why aren't you talking?" Meng reminded.

"Second sister, you are really as pretty as aunt." Shirou was speaking from the heart. Although she had never seen Nangong Qiuya, she had seen Nangong Ya's portrait when she was a child. A woman like that could be remembered in people's hearts for a lifetime at first sight.

"Do you feel any discomfort?" Chang'an asked. "If you do, just tell me. I still have some medicine. Luckily, the doctor gave me enough medicine when he left."

"Chang'an," said Madam Meng, "Shirou's face is back to normal thanks to you.

We, mother and daughter, have nothing to offer you in return, but we will never forget this kindness."

"Aunt Meng, we are all family. Chang'an has never thought of repaying you." Chang'an said, "If you really want to help Chang'an, then Chang'an really hopes that Aunt Meng can replace Qin Shumin and become the mistress of the general's mansion. That way, Chang'an won't have to be bullied anymore."

Meng Sichan's heart trembled. She looked at Chang'an in surprise, "I, never thought about it."

"Maybe, I'll think about it later." Chang'an smiled. "Sometimes all efforts are not just for yourself. Now, Sister Shirou has been ordered by the emperor to marry the Fourth Prince. Perhaps in the heart of the Fourth Prince, he also hopes that his wife will have a status in the General's Mansion."

At this moment, Meng Sichan did not speak. She understood Chang'an's meaning. Bei Mingye needed the support of the General's Mansion, so he wanted his wife to have an important position in the General's Mansion, especially to be loved by Gu Qingyun. After all, in Shuzhou, Gu Qingyun held more than half of the military power in his hands.

"Second sister, you really have a crush on the Fourth Prince." Gu Shirou said, "It's fate. If it weren't for that incident, it might be Second sister who would be happily married to the Fourth Prince.

Shirou knows that Second Sister is attracted to the Fourth Prince, but I am foolish. I wonder if there is any chance of redemption?"

"Since it is God's will, it must be the best arrangement." Chang An knew that Gu Shirou must have misunderstood. "Sister Shirou, please don't say that in the future. I know my own worth. Chang An has never thought of marrying up to someone above his station.

Besides, I am a person who accepts my fate. Now that I can remove the scars on my face and restore my original appearance, I am already very lucky. How can I dare to expect anything more?

I should congratulate Sister Shirou instead."

A trace of sadness flashed across Gu Shirou's eyes. The person in her heart was not the Fourth Prince Bei Ming Ye, but the Ninth Prince Bei Ming Xuan, who was a man of few words, looked free and lonely.

But now the emperor has issued an edict to give her to the fourth prince Bei Ming Ye, and there will be no possibility for her and the ninth prince to be together in this life.

In the past, Gu Shirou even thought about asking her grandfather to mediate so that she could marry the Ninth Prince. The Ninth Prince had no power and was the most ordinary among all the princes. Because he was ordinary and not favored, his life was the most peaceful.

Now all her wishes have become extravagant hopes. A few days ago, her face was disfigured, and she had a thought in her mind that perhaps having a disfigured face was not a bad thing. Perhaps because of this, the emperor would not let her marry the Fourth Prince.

But in the end, reason outweighs impulse, and she knows she can't do it.

Thinking of this, she looked up at Gu Changan's face and asked, "Second sister, how have you been dealing with the scars on your face over the years?"

Chang'an didn't say anything.

Gu Shirou didn't seem to intend for Chang'an to say anything, she continued, "Shirou has heard a little about what happened yesterday, and I'm sure no one in this general's mansion will bully my second sister anymore.

My mother is a person who does not like to fight with others, and I am afraid that this will disappoint my second sister.

As for Shirou herself... I have inherited my mother's personality. Even if I marry into the Fourth Prince's mansion in the future, I will probably spend more time with the ancient Buddha and the green lamp."

"I was just saying it casually." Chang'an understood what Gu Shirou meant, "You and Aunt Meng don't have to worry about it.

Well, now that I see that Sister Shirou looks fine, I feel relieved.

If Aunt Meng doesn't have any other instructions, Chang'an will take his leave. I still have to go to Aunt Qin. My father scolded me yesterday and insisted that I go there in person to apologize."

"Go ahead." Meng said, "After all, she is the elder."

Before Chang'an walked out of the door, she looked back at Shirou. The next second, she heard Shirou calling her.

"Wait a minute, second sister." Shirou said as she got up. "Shirou wants to go with you. Eldest sister accidentally hurt my face in her nightmare, and I'm sure she must be blaming herself. Now that Shirou's face is healed, I should tell Eldest sister in person so she doesn't worry."

Chang'an sneered in his heart. As expected, no one in the general's mansion was a soft persimmon. Even though Shirou's words just now revealed a sense of non-contention, she could not swallow the harm and calculation done by Gu Shijia after all, and she was often bullied by Gu Shijia and her daughter on a daily basis.

Chang'an and Wanxin were waiting for Shirou in the yard.

She knew very well in her heart that perhaps the mother and daughter of the Meng family were not as calm and unconcerned about gains and losses as people saw them to be.

Shirou came out and walked towards Qin's courtyard with Chang'an.

Along the way, whenever they met someone, they looked at them as if they had seen ghosts.

In front of the Qin family's courtyard gate, Wan Xin said, "My young lady accidentally injured Madam Qin yesterday, and I came here today to apologize."
