Chapter 58 My stepsister is disfigured
When Young Master Li saw Liu Lanzhi's face, he frowned and asked in confusion, "What happened to your face?"
Liu Lanzhi quickly covered her face with her hands and explained with her head down, "I was probably bitten by an insect, it's nothing serious."
Young Master Li snorted coldly, showing great disgust, "How disgusting."
After saying that, he stood up, flicked his sleeve, and said coldly, "Liu Lanzhi, let me tell you, no matter what method you use, you must do what you promised me within three days, or you'll regret it!"
Liu Lanzhi covered her face, bent over and nodded repeatedly, "Husband, don't worry, just wait to take a concubine!"
Young Master Li glanced at her disdainfully, then strode away, his steps so fast it seemed he didn't want to stay a moment longer.
Liu Lanzhi looked up slightly at Li Da Gongzi's back, her heart burning with resentment. "Du Wanchun, it's all because of you. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have had to endure this scolding."
She spoke fiercely while frantically scratching her face.
Not long after, Liu Lanzhi suddenly discovered that her fingers were covered in bright red blood.
"Ah~ my hand!" She exclaimed in surprise as she looked at her bright red fingers.
Just then, a young maidservant walked in from outside.
Upon seeing Liu Lanzhi in the room, the young maid covered her mouth, her eyes wide with horror, and exclaimed, "Young Mistress, your face?!"
"What happened to my face?" Liu Lanzhi couldn't feel the pain on her face, so she quickly touched it and found that her face was pitted and wet.
She quickly looked at her hands again and found that her palms were covered in blood.
"My face?!" Liu Lanzhi exclaimed in shock and quickly turned around to stand in front of the mirror.
In the dim bronze mirror, her face was covered with crisscrossing scars.
Each scar was a bloody mess, a truly gruesome sight.
"How did my face become like this?" Liu Lanzhi looked at herself in the mirror in disbelief.
The maidservant standing to the side was so shocked by Liu Lanzhi's face that she was speechless and couldn't utter a single word.
Liu Lanzhi trembled with anxiety and turned to her maid, frantically shouting, "Quick, quick, go and call a doctor for me!"
"Yes...yes..." The little maid immediately snapped out of her daze, turned around, and ran away.
In the Li family mansion, most of the nannies, maids, and servants did not treat Liu Lanzhi as their mistress. Only this young maid who had just arrived at the mansion was somewhat polite to her.
However, Liu Lanzhi had a bad temper and dared not vent her anger on Magistrate Li and his wife, so she took it out on this little maid.
The maid had long harbored resentment towards her, and seeing her face in such a wretched state today, she felt a secret delight. On her way to find the doctor, she spread the news far and wide.
Before the doctor even arrived, everyone in the manor knew that the young mistress's face was ruined, and a group of maids and nannies were waiting at the courtyard gate to see her make a fool of herself.
Soon the manor doctor arrived. Upon seeing Liu Lanzhi's face, he was so frightened that he took a few steps back. "Young mistress, what kind of ointment have you applied? Or did you eat something you shouldn't have?"
Liu Lanzhi thought for a moment, then took out the previous plaster and handed it to the doctor, "Doctor, could you take a look and see if there's a problem with this?"
The doctor took the plaster in his hand, smelled it, and said, "Young Madam, there's nothing wrong with this plaster. It's probably something you ate that you shouldn't have. I'll prescribe a few doses for you to try. If it works, great; if not, I'm afraid it might cause problems later..."
Liu Lanzhi asked him in a panic, "What will happen in the future?"
The doctor sighed deeply, "I'm afraid he'll never get better."
Liu Lanzhi collapsed to the ground, covered her still itchy face with her hands, and burst into loud sobs.
After writing down the prescription, the doctor left with his medicine box on his back.
The maids and nannies outside the door were whispering amongst themselves.
"If her face really gets ruined, the young master will probably divorce her."
"Yes, what young master's wife would be an ugly duckling?"
"It's good that she's divorced. She's never been very polite to us."
Their voices weren't loud, but Liu Lanzhi heard them all. The thought that she might be divorced by Young Master Li made her feel even worse.
However, even so, she had not given up the idea of bringing Du Wanchun to the mansion.
