Huanbi only felt a burning pain in her ears, tears instantly welled up in her eyes, but she didn't dare to cry out in pain.
"Master... Young Master, I don't have any. If you don't like me, I will leave now."
"How dare you pretend to be so aggrieved? You're the only one who knows how to act pitiful, right? The prince is not here, who are you pretending to be like this for?"
Seeing her eyes filled with tears, Zhen Qia became even more enraged and slapped her in the face.
Huanbi felt a sharp pain on her face and tears welled up in her eyes.
Warm liquid slid down her cheeks and dripped onto her new light green palace dress.
Liu Zhu glanced at her, frowned slightly, and spoke in a low voice.
"My lady, please don't be angry. Let me help you wash your face."
Zhen Qia didn't say anything, but glared at Hebi fiercely, with disgust in her eyes.
Liu Zhu frowned and whispered to Huan Bi.
"The young lady is furious. Why are you still standing here? Get out of here quickly."
Only then did Huanbi dare to cover her face, lower her head and run out quickly.
Xiao Yinzi was sweeping the floor in the yard. When she saw her running out with her face covered, her eyes widened immediately.
"Sister Huanbi, why is your face broken?"
"Broken, broken?"
Huanbi had just thought that the wetness on her face was due to her own tears, but when she heard Xiao Yinzi say this, she immediately panicked and rushed into her room to look in the mirror.
In the dim bronze mirror, a few bright red streaks on the face were conspicuous and shocking, and Bi screamed.
"Face, my face!"
This face was praised by the prince as beautiful, and it was her only capital to find a bright future.
Is it just destroyed like this?
"Don't be afraid, Sister Huanbi. The scratch isn't serious. I heard there's a medicine in the Imperial Hospital that can heal wounds quickly without leaving scars.
Your face will be fine."
"You say that easily. That kind of medicine is used by the nobles in the palace. How can we servants use such fine things?"
Huanbi impulsively retorted to Xiao Yinzi, and tears began to fall again.
"We are all the same people, of the same blood. I am no different, so why should I be a slave?
It would be fine if you couldn't tolerate anything else, but you also ruined my face..."
After all, she is the daughter of the Zhen family. Even if she is not born to the lady, she has her father's blood flowing in her body. Logically, she is the second lady of the Zhen family.
But she had never enjoyed the life of a second young lady. She had been working as a maid for her eldest sister since she entered the mansion at the age of five, serving her and doing all kinds of chores.
You also have to hide your identity.
You can't call him father to his face, you can only call him master.
She didn't care about any of this, because her father told her to follow her elder sister and she would arrange a good future for her.
If she could find a good husband with a wealthy family and a deep affection for him, all her hard work over the years would not be in vain.
However, her eldest sister's attitude towards her suddenly changed a few months ago. Not only was she no longer as tolerant as before, she was also extremely hostile towards her and could not tolerate her at all.
Now even her face is scratched.
Why? Why did he treat her like this? Apart from anything else, she had been devoted and loyal to her elder sister over the years.
Why did the elder sister treat her like this?
"Sister Huanbi, don't cry. Those medicines are not usually available to people like us, but we can find a way, right?"
Seeing Huanbi crying more and more fiercely, Xiao Yinzi became a little panicked. He did not bother to argue with Huanbi about scolding him, but just tried his best to coax Huanbi.
However, Huanbi had no hope at all, and her tears flowed even more violently, with the tears and blood on her face staining her clothes.
"What can we do? Our young mistress has never been favored by the emperor since she entered the palace, and she has never made friends with the powerful and influential masters in the palace.
Our palace is an isolated island in the harem. I am just an insignificant maid in this palace. Who would be willing to help me?
Although the young lady is close to the prince's cadre Anxi, how could the young lady find such a good medicine for me?
My face will definitely be ruined."
"Sister Huanbi, you are new to the palace, it's normal that you don't know anyone, but have you forgotten that I grew up in the palace, I know people."
Xiao Yinzi looked at her crying face, a hint of pity flashed in her eyes, and she coaxed her in a low voice.
"I have a brother who works under Concubine Jing and has some say in front of the master. If I ask for mercy, maybe I can get these things from the Imperial Hospital.
Sister Bi, you are so beautiful, even prettier than our young lady. It would be such a pity if you got a scar like this.
We have to give it a try, right?"
"Really? Well, if I can heal my face and have a bright future, I will definitely not forget you, little Yin Zi!"
Upon hearing this, Huanbi felt hope in her heart, burst into laughter, and looked at Xiao Yinzi with gratitude.
Xiao Yinzi felt a little embarrassed and said quickly.
"Sister Bi, please don't be polite to me. I was bullied by those people and almost got bit by a poisonous snake. If you hadn't reminded me in time and stood up to scold Eunuch Kang and the others, how could I have such a good life today?
Huanbijie's affairs are Xiao Yinzi's affairs, and Xiao Yinzi should do anything for Huanbijie.
Ever since Zhen Cai entered the palace, she has been thinking about avoiding the favor and looking for Feng Yinli. Liu Zhu helps her with this matter every day. Therefore, all the affairs in Sui Yuxuan, big and small, are handled by Huanbi, the senior palace maid.
It was not until Zhen Cai finally found Feng Yinli and successfully connected with him that she remembered to get rid of the extra eyes around her.
