Seeing her solemn expression, Bei's mother's smile faded and asked, "What's the matter?"
"Regarding the last time we encountered robbers, I always feel that there is something strange about it. I carefully recalled the situation that day. It seems that those robbers were not just after money, but also had a purpose to intercept our carriage." Bei Yutang said this in ambiguous words. She could not explain the specific situation.
Beimu's expression hardened. "Okay, I'll send someone to check."
"This matter must be investigated in secret and no one else should know about it." Bei Yutang warned worriedly.
"Don't worry about that, mother knows."
She had noticed something was going on in the past few days, but she wasn't sure. Now that her daughter had said this, her suspicions were confirmed.
Beimu picked up the cold medicine beside her and said, "It's time to take the medicine now."
Bei Yutang shook her head, "My daughter is not sick, why not take this bowl of medicine?"
Bei's mother tapped her nose lightly, "Little rascal."
Bei Yutang knew that her mother had misunderstood her and thought that she was pretending to be sick to avoid punishment, but in fact she was doing it to confuse Bei Nianjin.
Beimu poured the bowl of medicine into the flower plate beside her. As soon as she finished, Zhishu walked into the inner room with pastries. When he saw the empty bowl of medicine, a hint of joy flashed in his eyes.
"Miss, this red date cake was just made in the kitchen. It's still hot. Please try it." Zhishu said with a smile.
"Hmm." Bei Yutang took a piece and put it in his mouth, then handed another piece to Bei's mother. "Take the rest and divide it among you."
Zhishu smiled and replied, "Yes."
Bei's mother sat with her for a while before getting up and leaving.
Zhishu saw Bei Yutang get up and waited for her to get up. The maids Mohua and Siqin were responsible for her dressing. When Bei Yutang sat in front of the mirror and looked at her face in the mirror, her body trembled slightly.
Her eyes were fixed on the face in the mirror, the eyes, the eyebrows, the lips... they were so familiar. This face was so similar, so similar to her past appearance. Even though most of this face was destroyed, one could still tell what she used to look like.
She stretched out her hand and looked at the person in the mirror, as if she was touching her former stunning self.
When Mo Hua and the others saw that the young lady was sad about her appearance again, they felt heartbroken.
Mo Hua picked up the ointment on the table and said, "Miss, apply it more often and you will be back to normal soon. Look, the scars on your face have faded a lot, and your complexion is much rosier than before."
Siqin echoed, "Yes. It won't be long before the young lady is still the most beautiful woman in our Great Duan Dynasty."
"Miss, let's apply more ointment so it will heal faster." Mo Hua opened the ointment and there was not much left.
When Zhishu saw this, he immediately said, "Let me get a new one."
When Mo Hua was applying the ointment on her face, she raised her hand to stop herself, "You all go out, I want to be alone."
Mo Hua wanted to say something but was stopped by Si Qin. The two of them responded respectfully and then retreated.
Bei Yutang regained her composure and looked at the box of ointment. She had already used up one box of this poisonous ointment. If she used up two more boxes, her face would probably be rotten inside.
It looks white and flawless on the outside, but is rotten on the inside.
When the poison is fully unleashed, it will be the beginning of her eternal damnation.
