"Ruoyan..."
Mrs. Lu looked at her worriedly.
"Mom, I am your daughter. You don't think Lu Seyan is good just because she is outstanding in every aspect, do you?"
"How could that be?" Madam Lu shook her head. "Mom is just worried...if something goes wrong, it will implicate you."
"How is that possible? I don't believe that God will really favor her in every way. Lu Seyan, this bitch, has repeatedly stolen my limelight. I am the legitimate daughter of the Marquis's Mansion. I want everyone to see that she is just like her mother, a lowly woman."
Mrs. Lu thought of Bai Huiru and how she had been ridiculed for many years because of her. A faint hatred welled up in her and she no longer said anything to stop her.
Lu Ruoyan curled her lips and took out a packet of medicine from the box, which she had prepared early in the morning.
Mrs. Lu was a little surprised, "You brought it a long time ago."
Lu Ruoyan brought it here early in the morning, but she hadn't decided who to give it to, so today it will belong to that girl Lu Seyan.
It was dark, and Lu Seyan's maid was packing up her reward.
"Miss, you are amazing. You didn't see it. Many gentlemen couldn't take their eyes off you!"
After all, it is very honorable to be praised by the emperor on the spot.
However, Lu Seyan was not very happy. Thinking of Wen Yan's eyes, she felt a little uncomfortable.
"Hurry up and pack up. It's getting late. Go to bed early. I'm a little tired."
"Yes!" The little girl continued to clean up diligently.
Lu Ruoyan outside was jealous and crazy. In fact, even if Lu Seyan was not there, she would not be able to win first place with her two tricks.
But she just hated Lu Seyan because Lu Seyan was the closest to her.
She, the legitimate daughter, was outshined by a daughter from a concubine, and her face was completely lost.
"My sister is really amazing."
Lu Ruoyan came uninvited. Lu Seyan frowned slightly and her eyes fell on the food box in the hands of the maid behind her.
"My mother said that you fought for the Hou Mansion today. She also knows that you have worked hard, so she specially made some supplements for you. How come my sister is not happy after receiving the emperor's praise?"
"No." Lu Seyan said.
Lu Seyan signaled the maid to open the food box, "Drink it, so I can go back and report."
Lu Seyan looked at her, and couldn't help but think about something.
"Sister, are you still afraid that I will poison you?" Lu Ruoyan retreated to advance.
Lu Seyan smiled faintly, "This is the first time that my sister is so nice to me."
"You can drink it or not." Lu Ruoyan said and left the food.
She left angrily.
But she was also unsure whether Lu Seyan would drink it.
After Lu Ruoyan left, the maid looked at the bird's nest on the table and said, "Second Miss..."
"Pour it down."
Lu Seyan knew very well that there must be something bad here.
Otherwise, Lu Ruoyan would never send it to me.
She must be unhappy because I stole her limelight today.
But she didn't want to do it either. However, the idea was proposed by Lu Ruoyan, and she herself was not capable enough. Wouldn't it make people laugh at the Hou Mansion?
"Miss, it's such a pity to have this bird's nest dumped."
Lu Seyan shook her head. "You've been with me for so long, why are you still like this? Bird's nest is a good thing, but it's not a good thing if you add something to it."
"You're talking about this..." The maid was surprised.
Lu Seyan sighed, "Pour it."
Lu Ruoyan went back and waited for a while, but there was no movement. She then realized that her plan had failed.
Mrs. Lu actually breathed a sigh of relief.
However, Lu Seyan is not a pushover either.
Lu Ruoyan actually attacked her without considering the sisterly relationship, so she would not be merciful anymore.
…
The next morning, when Lu Ruoyan got up, she hadn't noticed anything yet. Suddenly, the maid saw her face, pointed at it in horror but couldn't say a word.
"What's going on?"
"Miss, you...your face..."
"What's wrong with my face?" Lu Ruoyan glared at her unhappily. When she touched it, she screamed instantly.
It's so densely packed, like a leprosy.
Hearing the exclamation, Mrs. Lu ran in, "Ruoyan, your face...what's wrong?"
She was also startled.
"Mirror, go get a mirror."
However, after getting the mirror, she smashed it to the ground instantly. Fortunately, it was a bronze mirror and did not break.
But her face in the bronze mirror was disgusting.
Looking again, her hands were covered with blood stains from scratching.
It must have been itchy at night when she was sleeping, but she was asleep and didn't notice it.
"how so?"
Madam Lu was furious, "How did you serve me?"
"Lu Seyan, it must be her."
Madam Lu paused, and at this moment, Lu Seyan also strode in, raised her eyebrows and looked at the frantic Lu Ruoyan, "What's wrong with you, sister?"
"You...you are the one who caused me all this."
"How did I harm my sister?" Lu Seyan asked back, "I ate the bird's nest you gave me last night and fell asleep."
"Bird's nest? Did you eat it?"
Lu Ruoyan looked at her in disbelief, "Then why did you..."
How come everything is okay?
Lu Seyan smiled faintly, "I ate it, and I had a good sleep. Seyan thanks mother."
Mrs. Lu shook her head.
She knew that Lu Seyan must have known that there was something in the bird's nest.
She said she ate it, but she probably didn't.
"Sister, you should let the imperial physician take a look. After all, it's just a face. If a girl's face is ruined, her life will be ruined too."
Mrs. Lu nodded. She no longer cared about how her daughter was plotted against. The most important thing was to heal her face.
"Quick, go get the doctor."
The imperial physician arrived late. After seeing Lu Ruoyan's face, he frowned slightly, as if he was disgusted. Then he prescribed some medicine.
Mrs. Lu looked at her daughter who was still not calm, and asked in a deep voice: "What is going on?"
"How should I know, mother? It must have been Lu Seyan who did it. It must have been her who did it. There is no one else but her."
Mrs. Lu also knew this, but after all, they were the ones who were in the wrong first, and that girl would not leave no evidence at all.
As he was speaking, Lu Seyan's maid came to ask for a meeting and presented him with yesterday's bowls and food boxes.
Mrs. Lu understood what Lu Seyan meant. She was telling her that it was a tit-for-tat and now they were even.
This little girl is much more capable than her mother.
Her mother uses her beauty to please men, but she is a bit cunning.
"Mom, she is demonstrating, she is provoking you."
"Ruoyan, now is not the time to make trouble. You should deal with her when you get back."
"No." Lu Ruoyan shook her head. "I have been harmed by that girl. How can I wait any longer? I want to deal with her. Mother, are you my mother?"
No matter how Mrs. Lu tried to comfort her, Lu Ruoyan just wouldn't listen.
However, with her face like that, she didn't dare go out. She just told others that she had caught a cold and was resting in the tent.
No one went to ask the imperial physician, after all, no one cared about her that much.
Moreover, it is windy in the mountains, so it is normal to feel a cold occasionally.
But Xia Zhiliao still saw some clues from the medicinal residue.
