Having served Ning Wei for many years, the steward had long since developed the ability to remain calm and composed in the face of adversity.
Even though Ning Xi'er looked like that, the steward remained calm and helped her into the carriage.
Ning Xu lifted the sedan curtain and followed.
"Xi'er!"
Marquis Dingyuan could not hide his shock, but he could not conceal his initial disgust.
"My daughter, what happened to you?!"
Ning Xi'er really wanted to laugh, but she held it in.
Since she got married, she has completely exposed the true colors of this scheming father.
In her previous life, the original owner was too blind and weak, watching helplessly as her closest relatives died tragically one after another...
Even when it came to me, I never imagined that from the very beginning, the culprit was my own biological father...
But in this life, Ning Xi'er, having reviewed the original owner's memories, saw through her scumbag father's true colors and decided not to play by his plans...
The original owner believed that the children of Madam Chen and her two concubines were so treacherous and ruthless because they resembled their respective mothers...
But Ning Xi'er saw through the truth at a glance: the root of the problem lay with her scumbag father, with his hypocrisy and ruthlessness.
"Waaah... Daddy..."
Ning Xi'er covered her face with her sleeve, pretending to wipe away tears.
But secretly, he was overjoyed. "How about that? The show can't go on anymore, can it?"
If you can't trick her, let her think about it: could the next one to be "sold out" by her scumbag father be Mrs. Chen's eldest daughter?
The children of the two concubines are not even qualified to be married to the crown prince!
"Waaaaah..."
Ning Xi'er continued to sob, glancing sideways at Ning Xu...
She was faking it!
Ning Xu immediately chimed in, indignantly saying, "Father! I just asked my sister, and she got these scabies and disfigurement on her face because she ate the food boxes sent by the manor!"
Ning Xu's voice was cold and deep, "If it's someone from your household, I will definitely not let this go!"
"Alright!"
Ning Wei was distraught; Ning Xi'er's disfigurement had disrupted all his plans.
Originally, she petitioned His Majesty for a decree, and the Crown Prince agreed, which resulted in His Majesty granting Ning Xi'er forgiveness for not having completed the wedding ceremony...
But whether the situation before her was worth the imperial decree she had to petition the emperor for was still something she needed to consider...
Ning Wei's hesitation was seen as a huge irony by Ning Xi'er and Ning Xu.
Ning Xi'er cried out, "Father, I don't want to become an ugly monster! Quickly send the imperial physician to examine me! I don't want to become like this!"
Ning Xi'er's words immediately enlightened Marquis Dingyuan.
Whether it was Ning Xi'er's disfigurement, or as Ning Xu said, the culprit came from within the manor...
Ning Wei didn't want the imperial court to know, lest he be punished by the censor for neglecting his family's management...
Ning Wei summoned the steward and ordered him to quickly fetch a trustworthy doctor...
Ning Xi'er sneered. She was familiar with medical principles, and the disfiguring powder she selected from her spatial storage was the most ruthless in the world...
There is no cure except for the antidote.
The exiled party was supposed to set off soon...
Because the Marquis of Dingyuan's carriage had not left for a long time, and the Marquis of Dingyuan's eldest daughter, Princess Cheng, had not returned to the group, the exiled entourage had to stay for a long time.
The family members of the Duke of Huguo's mansion gave them money and food from their respective clansmen, worried that they would suffer on the journey.
"Your Highness, the Princess's face..."
Eunuch Xu leaned closer to Prince Cheng, Xie Zhun, and whispered.
"It seems to be ruined..."
Xie Zhun had a half-smile on his face as he lay on the stretcher, his handsome features breathtaking.
Even in coarse linen clothes and prison uniform, he still deeply impressed the young girls among the onlookers.
Xie Zhun remained silent, showing no sign of worry.
Eunuch Xu then shut his mouth and carefully served him from the side.
The medicine Ning Xi'er gave was very effective; the wound on Prince Cheng's body scabbed over and stopped itching and hurting overnight...
Although the Prince Cheng's household doesn't have a good impression of the Marquis of Dingyuan, it seems that this household has been quite helpful so far...
Therefore, Eunuch Xu also felt some pity for her.
As Ning Xi'er had expected, the steward invited three doctors at once, all of whom were the most skilled physicians in the capital and had the closest ties to the Marquis's mansion—truly "miracle doctors"...
Upon examining Ning Xi'er's scars, they were all at a loss and left in shame...
"Father! Father, you can't abandon your daughter!"
Each time a doctor left, Ning Xi'er would wail a few times, and Ning Wei's expression grew even more somber.
Ning Wei finally gave up hope after the last doctor gave his diagnosis.
The steward led Ning Xi'er back to the group, but Ning Xi'er clung tightly to the carriage door, refusing to get off, as if letting go would plunge her into the deepest hell...
"Xi'er, be good. Your second brother has other matters to attend to. Don't let anyone see you impeaching him for harboring resentment towards His Majesty..."
Ning Wei's face was icy cold, but his voice was unusually gentle.
To the original owner, these words sounded like a heartfelt reminder from her scumbag father.
But Ning Xi'er understood that her scumbag father was making an undisguised threat.
