"She came back alive? She didn't die?" In Ningcui Pavilion, Ye Yabing was furious after hearing the news, sweeping everything off the small table next to the bed onto the floor.

Upon hearing the news, Madam Min rushed over, dismissed the old women and maids, and had Han Yu guard the door before embracing Ye Yabing and comforting her.

"Your facial injury hasn't healed yet. Your second aunt is handling everything outside. You just need to rest and recover. Why are you making such a fuss?" Madam Min said with heartache.

Ye Yabing's face, which was originally stunningly beautiful, was ruined by Ye Qingxue. The doctor she secretly hired was helpless, and she didn't know if she could find the divine physician Xiangsizi to restore Ye Yabing's former appearance.

Thinking of this, Madam Min not only hated Ye Qingxue to the extreme, but also felt extremely flustered. What if Ye Yabing's face had not recovered by the wedding day?

No, there must be a way!

She absolutely refused to allow Ye Yabing to marry into the Prince Ding's mansion with a disfigured face, becoming a laughingstock in the entire capital.

Ye Yabing broke down and said, "Second Aunt, why is Ye Qingxue so hard to kill? This is the second time you've told me that she can't leave the palace unharmed, but she really has left the palace unscathed for the second time, and even received so many rewards from the emperor. Now she's a heroine of the whole city! She ruined my face and killed my nanny. What right does she have?"

Madam Min covered her mouth, "Shh—your face is only slightly injured, it will heal. Do you want everyone to know and you to be disliked by Prince Ding?"

Ye Yabing was stunned for a moment, so frightened that she didn't even dare to shed tears.

Madam Min held her shoulders, looked into her eyes, and said, "Ya Ya, you must listen to your second aunt. Last night, His Highness Prince Ding was flogged fifty times and he must still be lying in bed right now. You must go and visit him."

"Being a considerate and gentle fiancée is your top priority right now. Don't worry about Ye Qingxue for the time being."

Ye Qingxue is now a heroine of the entire city. Her elder brother went to the palace to meet the emperor and told him about Ye Qingxue's treasonous deeds, but the emperor did not punish her. This shows that it is very difficult to deal with Ye Qingxue now.

Madam Min decided to hold back for now and observe for a while before making any moves. Once she came up with a feasible plan, she would directly force Ye Qingxue into a deadly situation, leaving her with no chance of survival.

Moreover, Ye Qingxue has been poisoned by the Broken Moon Orchid for two days, and she only has eight days left to live. Even if they were to take action, Ye Qingxue would be more anxious than them.

If a person is anxious, they are likely to reveal their weaknesses; she will wait and see.

Ye Yabing was on the verge of tears: "Second Aunt, look at me now, how can I go to visit His Highness Prince Ding?"

For the past two days, she's been having nightmares about her face being covered in crisscrossing scars; it's terrifying.

She couldn't accept herself looking like this, let alone His Highness Prince Ding.

Lady Min said, "When you go out, wear a veil and a hood on your cloak. Then put on the veil hat. Even if the wind blows, Prince Ding will only see you looking beautiful as a fairy in your flowing veil, and he won't see the scars on your face."

"If the Prince asks you why you are like this, just say that you have two cuts on your face, but it's nothing serious and will be fine in a few days."

"Because you don't want to ruin the perfect impression you have in his mind, you would rather die than take off your veil and ask him to understand. If a man feels that you love him deeply, he will understand you."

Madam Min's voice was gentle yet firm: "Come, go wash your face. I'll have someone prepare a carriage to take you to the Prince Ding's residence. I've already prepared your clothes and veil."

Ye Yabing sniffed, her eyes red-rimmed, but she was eventually persuaded by Madam Min.

She obediently got up to wash her face, but her face was covered with wounds and gauze, so she only wiped her eyes, then changed into clean clothes, and as Madam Min had instructed, covered her face with a veil, put on a hood, and wore a cap.

Standing in front of the mirror and looking at her figure, Ye Yabing was quite satisfied. As long as you didn't look at her face, she was still like a fairy.

"My face will get better, my face will get better!" Ye Yabing kept repeating this sentence in her heart, giving herself strength: "My second aunt has always loved and cared for me, she will definitely find a way to cure my face!"

In Ye Yabing's mind, her second aunt was practically omnipotent, far more capable than her mother. Whenever she encountered a difficult situation, she would always think of her second aunt first, rather than her own mother.

Madam Min held her hand and reminded her a second time: "Remember, your current battlefield is with His Highness Prince Ding, not with Ye Qingxue. Leave Ye Qingxue to your second aunt to handle, understand?"

"The marriage between Ye Qingxue and His Highness Prince Ding has been transferred to you. We have achieved our goal, so you must not have any conflict with Ye Qingxue now!"

Although Ye Yabing hated Ye Qingxue to the extreme because Ye Qingxue had ruined her face, she vowed not to be human until she avenged this.

But what my second aunt said is right. Her most important task right now is to be the number one person in Prince Ding's heart. She can't let other fox spirits steal Prince Ding away while she is restoring her appearance.

So Ye Yabing obediently nodded and agreed.

The carriage was waiting at the main gate of the Marquis's residence. Madam Min said that the injury to Ye Yabing's face was not that serious, and that she should walk through the main gate and pass in front of everyone. Ye Yabing agreed.

Han Yu protected her along the way, and Madam Min also sent Hong Zhu, who was by her side, to accompany Granny Tu. As a result, the other old women and maids could not take care of Ye Yabing.

As luck would have it, Ye Yabing had just stepped out of the hanging flower gate and into the front yard when she saw Ye Qingxue coming in from outside.

Although Xia Lu was the only one with her, Xiao Bao had already brought Qi Zai to guard the courtyard. At this moment, Qi Zai was happily jumping around Ye Qingxue.

Ye Yabing's first reaction was: With this white wolf guarding her, even the strongest guards wouldn't be able to get close to Ye Qingxue. It's really hateful!

Ye Qingxue glanced at her indifferently, only to see that Ye Yabing's neck was covered with layers of veils, and even with the wind blowing the veils, her face could not be seen clearly.

However, since she was the one who destroyed that face, she didn't need to look to know how badly Ye Yabing was injured.

Is Ye Yabing dressed like this to visit Prince Ding, who was flogged? How devoted she is!

Although Ye Qingxue did not see Ye Yabing's face, Ye Yabing clearly saw Ye Qingxue's face.

She had previously disregarded Ye Qingxue and had never given her a serious look.

Now she realized that Ye Qingxue's face was almost too beautiful, not in a worldly way, but in a refined and aloof way.

What's most infuriating is that Ye Qingxue, a woman who grew up in the village, has skin as white and delicate as a peeled egg.

Heaven has been too kind to Ye Qingxue!

"If this face were mine, if this beautiful skin were mine, I would wish it were wonderful." This thought popped into Ye Yabing's mind.

Suddenly, as if in a flash, she thought of something, and her body trembled violently.
