Following Su Chenyu's instructions, Ginkgo followed Qi Qi in secret and found that as soon as Qi Qi returned, she asked her personal maid Lingzhi to leave through a small path with a bundle. In the bundle was Lingzhi's indenture contract and a huge amount of silver.
Obviously, in order to cover up his lie, Qi Qi wanted to drive Lingzhi away.
Ginkgo always felt that something was wrong, so he followed Lingzhi, but he didn't expect that Lingzhi met an assassin halfway.
Ginkgo was not sure that he could kill the assassins, so he did not expose himself. He just protected Lingzhi's life in the dark, creating the illusion that she was dead.
I thought the assassins would leave immediately after killing Lingzhi, but I didn't expect that they destroyed Lingzhi's face while they were killing her. When Ginkgo wanted to stop them, it was too late, so she could only bring Lingzhi back with her destroyed face.
"I never realized that 䀱䋁琪 was so cruel." Su Chenyu sighed as she looked at Lingzhi lying on the bed. He destroyed Lingzhi's face because he was obviously afraid that she would be recognized.
If it was just to cover up the lie, she could have just killed Lingzhi, why destroy her face?
"Madame Xu, can you check on her?" Su Chenyu made way for Madame Xu to check on Lingzhi's injuries. "Can her face recover?"
After looking at her, Aunt Xu shook her head and said, "Her life is not in danger now, but her face cannot be cured."
As soon as she finished speaking, Lingzhi slowly opened her eyes. She looked at Aunt Xu with a look of fear in her eyes: "Why am I here?"
Ginkgo added, "If my princess hadn't asked me to save you, you would have been in hell by now."
Lingzhi looked at Su Chenyu and couldn't believe that it was Su Chenyu who saved her.
She was about to say something when she suddenly felt a sharp pain on her face: "Why does my face hurt so much?"
Regardless of the injuries on his body, Lingzhi rolled over and got out of bed, fell to the ground. When he looked up, he looked at the bronze mirror on the low table. In the bronze mirror was reflected an ugly face like a ghost.
"Ah..." Lingzhi had just spoken when Su Chenyu said coldly: "If you want to lure others over, just shout."
Lingzhi was instantly speechless: "Why did I become like this?"
"You should ask yourself this question." Su Chenyu's words reminded Lingzhi of everything. Despair flashed in her eyes: "It's Qi Qi!"
Su Chenyu raised her eyebrows slightly: "Aren't you her maid? Why did she harm you like this?"
"That's because she asked me to transplant the love mushrooms around the cave." Lingzhi collapsed when he saw his own face. "Even her and the prince falling off the cliff were planned in advance. Qi Qi just wanted to climb into the prince's bed and become his woman. She was afraid that I would tell others about this, so she wanted to kill me to silence me."
Lingzhi was extremely regretful at this moment. Why had she been so obsessed as to help Qiqi do such a thing?
"It's normal for you to be tempted when I return your indenture and give you enough money to live comfortably in the future."
Lingzhi thought Su Chenyu would laugh at her and say that it was all her own fault, but she didn't expect to hear these words. She raised her head and looked at Su Chenyu.
Lingzhi felt extremely disgusted when she looked at herself in the mirror. But Su Chenyu looked at her face without any disgust: "It was Qi Qi who did not keep her promise and went back on her word."
"That's right, she went back on her word, so she can't blame me for telling everything..."
She knew what Su Chenyu wanted to do, so she broke through Lingzhi's psychological defenses and made her tell her everything she knew.
But now Lingzhi's mental state is obviously not normal. He quietly protected Su Chenyu, fearing that Lingzhi would hurt her.
Su Chenyu squatted down and looked at Lingzhi at eye level: "Where did you get the love mushroom from?"
