Jimo Yuan knew that he had misjudged the prefect at first. Seeing his expression, he comforted him, "He's fine. We can discuss the details when we get back."
The prefect forced himself to nod, knowing that Jimo Yuan's appearance was not simple, and ordered the guards to handle the scene.
"So many people have died. We can't go to Pushan Temple today." Jimo Yuan said, "I will send people to protect Jiahao. Don't worry, Prefect He."
The prefect coldly ordered those present: "What happened today must be kept secret. No one is allowed to tell anyone."
The prefect's carriage broke down, but the two carriages rented by Lou Xinlan were still there, so everyone went back home. Half of the guards were dead, and the atmosphere back in the city was very depressed.
Jimo Yuan was still riding in the same carriage with Sheng Qiyue.
Sheng Qiyue's face was a little pale. When Jimo Yuan reached out to her, she pursed her lips and stood stiffly motionless.
Jimo Yuan sighed, grabbed her hand and rubbed it gently: "You are mine, I will always treat you well."
His voice was low and gentle, with a reassuring power.
Sheng Qiyue's voice trembled: "The one who has been with me all along is you, or..."
"It's me." Jimo Yuan said firmly, "When everything is over, I will take you to the capital to get married and become the noble prince's consort."
The prince's consort? Sheng Qiyue's eyes widened in surprise. She was just an ordinary woman who thought that being able to meet the prefect was the limit. She didn't expect to be able to meet the prince.
She opened her red lips slightly and asked, "Where is the real young master of the He Mansion?"
Seeing that she was not too conflicted, Jimo Yuan raised his lips slightly and explained.
"He can't show up now, but he will be out in a month at most."
Seeing Sheng Qiyue's complicated expression, Jimo Yuan tightened his grip on her hand slightly.
"Are you attracted to He Wenmao?"
Sheng Qiyue shook her head: "I just want to have a stable life."
Jimo Yuan said, "I can give you, in addition to a stable life, countless wealth and splendor, precious treasures and fine clothes. I will give you whatever you want."
Sheng Qiyue was not very happy: "You are a prince, and the concubines and maids in your mansion must be more than Master He. I don't want to..."
Jimo Yuan hurriedly said: "I have no concubines, only you!"
Sheng Qiyue's beautiful eyes widened again, and Jimo Yuan smiled and patted her forehead: "Really, I'm not lying to you."
Sheng Qiyue finally nodded: "Then I will go to the capital with you."
Shen Shaoyan didn't know that the Seventh Prince, whom he trusted, not only slept with his woman, but also wanted to erase his existence and monopolize the beauty.
Lou Xinlan was dragged back to He Mansion like a dead pig. Xiaohong woke up on the way and stared at her bloody face in a daze.
She couldn't understand why the lady who treated them like sisters would be so cruel as to use them as a shield.
At the He Mansion, the ointment prescribed by the palace doctor was placed on the table. Xiaohong silently cleaned her wound with rough movements.
Lou Xinlan was awakened by the pain, screamed, touched the wound on her face, and rushed to the bronze mirror in panic.
There was a scar extending from the left temple to the corner of the mouth. It was hideous and horrific. The wound was bleeding and the white flesh inside was clearly visible. It was horrifying and shocking.
"My face, my face!" Lou Xinlan was unwilling to accept that she was disfigured. She slapped Xiao Tao in the face and said, "Bitch, why didn't you help me when I was running away? Are you satisfied with my face being scratched now?"
Feeling the pain on her face, Xiaohong couldn't hold it in any longer. "Why didn't we help you? We would have been able to run faster if we'd left you behind when attacked, but did I? Xiaotao didn't either, and yet you used our lives to block the sword for you!"
"I'm the master, and you're the maids. The other maids are all loyal and protective of their masters, so why can't you do the same? I've been so kind to you all these years for nothing!"
Lou Xinlan was very angry. She was nice to them because she wanted to have friends with whom she could talk about anything and fill the gap in friendship. She also wanted to cultivate loyal maids who could die for her at the critical moment.
But this slut is unwilling!
Xiaohong said: "You said we are sisters..."
"Time has changed, you slut, if you don't recognize your own identity, just wait to be sold."
Xiao Hong taunted, "Even if you betray me, your face won't heal. The court doctor said that the wound on your face is very deep, and even if it heals, it will leave a scar. You're already ugly, and you'll be a real freak in the future!"
"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh - I'll kill you!" Lou Xinlan hated being called ugly the most, so she rushed towards Xiaohong regardless of everything.
She was so bulky that it looked like she was moving in slow motion to Xiaohong. She dodged nimbly, but Lou Xinlan fell to the ground in a mess.
She couldn't help crying. The wound hurt even more when it touched her tears, and she collapsed.
The beauty system couldn't stand the host's shameful ugliness.
[Wake up, Lou Xinlan!] It said, [Don't forget that you have the golden finger of beauty. As long as you plunder Sheng Qiyue's beauty points, the scars on your face will be transferred to Sheng Qiyue's face. There is no need to be sad now.]
"Yes, yes." Lou Xinlan woke up as if from a dream: "I want to become beautiful, I want to become beautiful, I want to snatch Sheng Qiyue's face away..."
Xiaohong was horrified and felt that Lou Xinlan was very abnormal now. She didn't want to serve Lou Xinlan anymore, so she went to Mrs. He to redeem herself and said that she wanted to return to her hometown to get married.
Lou Xinlan has given them a lot of things over the years, and together with Xiaotao's share, it is a huge sum of money for ordinary people.
The mansion was in a precarious situation, but He's mother did not make things difficult for her. She asked Nanny He to find the indenture contract and let Xiaotao leave the mansion.
Lou Xinlan calmed down and realized that she had no one to help her, so she went to complain to He's mother. In view of the injury on her face, two maids who knew medicine were assigned to take care of her, and asked her to rest well in the mansion and not to sneak out again.
Regarding Lou Xinlan's facial injury, both the prefect and He's mother thought that she brought it upon herself. They had no sympathy, only concern.
You are ugly to begin with, how can you get married? Don’t blame them for your whole life.
After Jimo Yuan returned to He Mansion, he had a long talk with the prefect and secretly arranged for the prefect to meet He Wenmao.
He Wenmao was locked up in the house. Apart from not being able to go out, he had good food and drink, and was served by beautiful women. He could gamble whenever he wanted and was simply having a great time.
The prefect almost gasped when he saw this.
Jimo Yuan coughed lightly and said, "These are all requests made by Master Ling himself. Since I have borrowed his identity, I shall naturally satisfy his needs."
"This rebellious son!" The prefect gnashed his teeth. He had been crying his heart out outside in vain, but this guy was living a life of debauchery here. He was hopeless, really hopeless!
The prefect was so angry that he left.
…………
Lou Xinlan thought for a long time about how to send something to Sheng Qiyue. After much deliberation, she felt that it was time to make use of her family.
Sheng Qiyue is loved by her cousin and has everything she needs. Lou Xinlan thought that she would let the Sheng family do everything they can to plunder Sheng Qiyue's possessions. When Sheng Qiyue lost everything and had a hard time, she would help her and give Sheng Qiyue some things. Sheng Qiyue would definitely be grateful to her and would gladly accept them.
Lou Xinlan touched the gauze on her face and a strange smile appeared on her face.
This time, she wants to take back her own beauty!
