"Jump into the lake quickly! Green vitriol is extremely corrosive and must be washed off as soon as possible!"
Su Muxi spoke to Qiao Ziming in a deep voice, but Qiao Ziming stood there motionless.
Looking up, she met Qiao Ziming's dark and unfathomable eyes.
Just as he was about to say something more, Ge Mao rushed over and kicked Qiao Ziming in the back of the knee, sending Qiao Ziming flying into the lake.
"Your Highness's injury is serious and cannot be delayed! The wound must be cleaned immediately!"
"Su girl, leave this to me. I'm very skilled at treating these kinds of external injuries!"
Seeing Ge Mao's agile movements and solemn expression, Su Muxi was stunned for a moment before nodding.
After glancing at Qiao Ziming, who was about to climb out of the lake but was kicked back in by Ge Mao, he decided to deal with Qiao Zixi first.
After hearing Su Muxi say that Qiao Zixi had been captured, everyone was still in a daze, not understanding why Qiao Zixi had suddenly been mentioned.
It wasn't until Xie Xuan reacted, grabbed Qiao Zixi's wrist, and ripped off the veil from her face that everyone looked on with a mixture of realization and shock.
"What a disgusting face!"
"This is Qiao Zixi, the daughter of the Marquis of Anyang?!"
"I heard Qiao Zixi's face was ruined, but I didn't expect it to be this bad!"
"Poor Young Master Pei, he actually has to marry such a woman."
"What deep-seated hatred does she have for Su Muxi?! Could it be that Su Muxi really did this to her face?"
…
Pei Yuan felt a sense of shame that made him unable to face anyone.
He never expected Qiao Zixi to suddenly appear, and to do such a vicious thing as soon as she appeared. He couldn't even imagine what would happen if that liquid had been splashed on someone's face!
Although he really wanted to go up and mock Qiao Zixi, he knew he couldn't.
He is still engaged to Qiao Zixi, so even if he hates Qiao Zixi, he cannot do anything to kick her when she is down.
Otherwise, it would not only ruin his own character but also damage the reputation of the Pei family.
But now that everyone knows that the wife he is about to marry is such a crazy, vicious, and ugly person, he feels ashamed and indignant.
Looking at Xie Xuan, who had torn off Qiao Zixi's veil, Pei Yuan's inexplicable resentment grew even stronger.
Xie Xuan was unaware of Pei Yuan's thoughts, but was furious at Qiao Zixi's actions.
"Why did Miss Su remove the scars from your face before, you treacherous and vicious person! Now this face is more worthy of someone as cruel as you!"
Qiao Zixi had been trying to cover her face, but after hearing Xie Xuan's words, she flung her sleeves and stopped trying to hide it, shouting angrily, "Su Muxi is the one who's insidious and vicious! The reason my face is like this is because of her! Murderers have to pay with their lives! What's wrong with wanting her to be like me!"
Su Muxi strode forward and, without saying a word, slapped Qiao Zixi hard across the face.
"Smack!"
The fingernail scratched Qiao Zixi's face, which had just begun to scab over, causing pus and blood to flow from her already rotten face once again.
Qiao Zixi angrily tried to teach Su Muxi a lesson, but Su Muxi instead stabbed her with a needle.
Like Zheng Yi, Qiao Zixi suddenly lost all strength and slowly collapsed to the ground.
"Su Muxi! So many people were watching, how dare you harm me like this!"
Qiao Zixi glared at Su Muxi with hatred, looking as if she wanted to devour him alive.
Su Muxi looked down at Qiao Zixi on the ground and sneered, "You know so many people are watching! Since you know that, you still dare to try to pour green vitriol on me in front of everyone?! Is this the upbringing of the daughter of the Marquis of Anyang?!"
But Qiao Zixi said matter-of-factly, "That's what you deserve! If it weren't for you, I wouldn't be in this state! You want my face to be ruined like this, then I'll ruin yours too! I want to see if Young Master Pei will still care about you when your face is so bad you can see the bone! And whether you can still become the Princess Consort of Yong'an!"
Pei Yuan had wanted to hide himself as much as possible so that he wouldn't be discovered, but upon hearing these words, someone looked in his direction again.
So, her face flushed with anger, she said, "Qiao Zixi, what nonsense are you spouting! Miss Su and I are completely innocent, don't try to smear me like this!"
Qiao Zixi looked at Pei Yuan with resentment in her eyes, and seeing the disgust and loathing in Pei Yuan's eyes, she burst into maniacal laughter.
"Hahaha…"
"I'm smearing you?! You came to my house to propose marriage, and you mistook Su Muxi for me! Do you dare to say in front of everyone that you have no feelings for Su Muxi at all?! Pei Yuan! Do you dare!"
Upon hearing Qiao Zixi's words, everyone showed expressions of disbelief.
It's one thing for Wei Yichen and Xie Xuan to express their affections for Su Muxi, after all, one is Su Muxi's cousin and the other is usually a free spirit. But it's unexpected that even a gentleman like Pei Yuan has strange feelings for Su Muxi...
Pei Yuan clearly hadn't expected that Qiao Zixi would reveal his mistake in front of so many people...
After Qiao Zixi finished speaking, as if she had thought of something, she glared fiercely at Su Muxi, "So you ruined my face because I impersonated you?! Su Muxi! You are truly vicious!"
Su Muxi carefully smelled the pus and blood on her fingernails, then carefully examined Qiao Zixi's face. While she was deep in thought, she heard Qiao Zixi's roar again, and her tightly furrowed brows furrowed even more.
"Qiao Zixi, you keep saying that I ruined your face, where's the evidence?"
"...The evidence is that my face rotted because I used Shengyantang's rouge, and you know how to make rouge! That day was also the day you stopped my carriage in the street and threatened to ruin my face! How could things be so coincidental! You said you were going to ruin my face during the day, and my face rotted that night. If it wasn't you who did it behind the scenes, who else could it be!"
Qiao Zixi spoke with such confidence that Su Muxi couldn't help but scoff.
"laugh!"
"Qiao Zixi, don't you realize what you've just said?! It's all just your conjecture, without a single piece of evidence, yet you're trying to pin everything on me. How ridiculous!"
"I told you last time we met that I didn't do this to your face, and I have no designs on Young Master Pei, much less compete with you for anything. I asked you to think about who you've offended recently, and you ended up thinking of me? Ha!"
"In that case, you deserve to be used by others!"
After saying the last sentence, Su Muxi looked at Bai Mengying with a half-smile.
He took out a handkerchief and rubbed the pus and blood from his fingernails onto it.
"The reason your face is in such a terrible state is because you've been poisoned by the Brightening Fragrance."
As she spoke, Su Muxi glanced at Bai Mengying without leaving a trace, and after seeing a fleeting look of panic in the other woman's eyes, she confirmed her guess.
Unexpectedly, it was Bai Mengying who did the disfigurement to Qiao Zixi.
