She bowed hurriedly and left the room.
Si Jinxing saw that everyone had left, but he did not rush to see the patient.
Instead, he sat on the stool beside the bed, looked at Liu Fangying, and said with a smile:
"Other women are terrified when their faces are injured, but you're so happy. Why do you look so happy?"
Liu Fangying chuckled and said:
"The county lady is truly extremely intelligent. Nothing can be hidden from you."
She laughed and got off the bed. Ignoring Si Jinxing's attempts to stop her, she knelt on the ground and said:
"Fangying knows that the county lady has excellent medical skills and will definitely be able to cure this burn.
But Fangying doesn't want to do it, so please don't take action, County Master.
I know that if this happens, the county lady will probably be labeled as not good at academics..."
Si Jinxing helped him up and said:
"I promise you, I won't help you diagnose your injuries.

I hate that I was born in the Liu family, and I hate even more that my grandfather treated me like a commodity and sold me.
I'm scared too.
I am not afraid of those doctors, because sooner or later they will be silenced by my grandfather.
I was afraid that if they could really cure me...
In that case, I will be sent to Prince Rui's Mansion and will never be able to escape in this life!
I can only....”
Liu Fangzhi choked up and in the end, she cried so hard that she couldn't speak clearly.
Si Jinxing listened patiently and was deeply shocked.
She didn't expect that Liu Fangying, who looked bright and beautiful, was actually suffering from such torture in her heart!
