Chapter 677 Cutting off Your Escape
Miss Dong Er's day was about to come. She had been feeling irritable recently, and the rain and the humidity in the air made her feel even more uncomfortable, so she asked Lianyi to get a hot water bottle and apply it on her belly.
Lianyi put the hot water bottle in a leather bag and stood by the bed, carefully applying hot compresses to help Miss Dong Er relieve the pain in her stomach, and softly comforted her:
"Miss, don't worry. I heard from the female doctor in the mansion that if the body is warm, the stomach will not hurt. The weather suddenly changed today and the temperature dropped, which made Miss's stomach uncomfortable. Just apply a compress for a while to open up the meridians and it will be fine."
During the hot compress process, Lianyi condensed the spiritual power absorbed in recent times at her fingertips, and took the opportunity to send it into the opponent's abdomen, directly blocking the opponent's fallopian tubes on both sides.
Quarter of an hour later, Dong Qinglian felt her stomach was much better and her menstrual period had started. She asked Lianyi to take away the hot water bottle, then stood up and asked another maid, Qingbi, to help her change her clothes.
After that, there was no more ripples. The lady took a nap and she also took a nap.
Two months passed like this. Lianyi, with the nourishment of good food, gradually grew taller and taller. Her previously yellowish skin color gradually turned whiter, and she became more and more beautiful. Dong Qinglian's eyes changed when she looked at Lianyi. She knew that the time was ripe and she could not delay any longer.
So she deliberately revealed in front of the other maids that she was going to become the young lady's trusted maid. The jealous Qingbi became jealous of Lianyi, and then one morning when she went to serve tea to Miss Dong Er, she deliberately spilled half a pot of boiling water on Lianyi's face.
Lianyi's screams alarmed half of the people in the Dong Mansion, and then she pretended to faint. After that, the doctor in the mansion was invited over, and it was Nanny Dong who invited her. This was the concubine prepared as a dowry for the young lady, and if anything went wrong, she would not be able to escape the responsibility. Qingbi had already been tied up and sent to the woodshed.
The result was naturally that Lianyi was disfigured. After all, the boiling water was poured on her and blisters appeared on the spot, which was creepy to look at. Although the doctor used the best burn ointment, the right half of Lianyi's face was still horrible. Even after a month of treatment, a large scar was left.
Dong Qinglian has been in a bad mood recently, so she directly asked someone to sell Qingbi out. Her reason was very sufficient. She said that Qingbi had harmed the people who served in the young lady's room and had a vicious mind. Keeping such a person would be a disaster. How could such a person be around the kind-hearted Young Miss Dong?
When Lianyi learned that Qingbi had been sold out, she wanted to thank Miss Dong Er that same day for taking the decision for her.
When Miss Dong Er saw Lian Yi's right face which looked like it had peeled off, she was also shocked. Lian Yi was a little scared and covered the injured half of her face with a handkerchief and began to cry to Miss Dong Er:
"Thank you, young lady, for taking care of this servant! I will never forget your kindness. They were jealous that I could be your chambermaid, so they used such a despicable method to harm me. Now that I have become like this, how can I follow you, young lady?"
After saying that, she started to cry.
Miss Dong Er was annoyed when she heard this, but Lianyi was her roommate after all, and the one who did the harm was her personal maid.
At this time, she had already excluded Lianyi from the dowry list. No matter how likely she was to give birth to a son, her face could not attract a future son-in-law. Besides, as the second lady of the Dong family, she could not marry into the Yao family with such a maid, so she gave a wink to Nanny Dong.
Nanny Dong stepped forward, helped Lianyi up, and said with a sigh:
"What kind of fate do you have, little girl? You have ruined your good life of eating and drinking. Now that you are ugly, you can't be a maid."
"Ah? I know I can't face people now. Miss, please don't chase me away. I can be a servant girl."
Lianyi's eyes turned red and she immediately expressed her loyalty.
"You little girl, look at what you said! You are the young lady's benefactor. Since you saved the young lady from drowning, it is impossible for you to be a servant girl."
When Lianyi heard what Dong Mama said, she pretended to be shocked, knelt on the ground, and cried to Miss Dong Er:
"It's all my fault. I'll leave now. Please show some mercy, young lady."
After hearing Lianyi's words, Nanny Dong nodded. She was not hopelessly stupid. At least she knew that she was no longer useful. In order to preserve the young lady's reputation, it was better for her to leave on her own initiative than to be driven away by the young lady.
"Lian Yi, I treat you as my sister. I don't want to see things come to this. I will ask Madam to prepare some things so that you can return to Zhangjia Village in glory."
"Thank you for your kindness, Miss!"
Lianyi was helped up from the ground, and she bowed to Miss Dong Er before leaving.
After Lianyi left, Miss Dong Er said impatiently:
"Open the window quickly. There is a foul smell."
"Yes, Miss!"
Several other people in the house also smelled it, it was the smell of rotting skin, and it was obvious that Lian Yi's face was completely ruined.
The next day, Nanny Dong prepared an ox cart, loaded two pieces of blue cloth, two bags of rice and two bags of flour for Lianyi, stuffed five taels of silver into her pocket, and sent Lianyi away quickly.
In fact, the young lady gave fifty taels of silver, but Nanny Dong thought that Lianyi would never enter the Dong Mansion again, so she only took five taels of silver to send her away and kept the rest for herself, which was also a considerable income.
Lianyi knew that this Nanny Dong was up to no good as soon as she raised her eyes. The cloth and grain were all obtained from the public purse and everyone was watching. She couldn't lie, and she didn't even look at those things.
Only silver could avoid people's eyes and ears, so after Nanny Dong took it, she came to send Lianyi away before she had time to put it back. Lianyi also returned the silver hidden in her sleeve pocket to its original owner.
Lianyi covered her face with a veil and left Dong's house crying. From then on, she was a free person. The scars on her face were also a kind of protective color for her.
Before the sun set, the ox cart that Lianyi was riding in finally drove into Zhangjia Village, attracting the children playing outside the village to follow the cart. Lianyi also generously gave these children a piece of candy the size of a fingernail, and then she successfully returned to her own yard.
A child who had received the candy had already run to Zhang Hui's mother's house and told her the news. She had been standing in front of the bamboo fence waiting for a while. When she saw it was Lianyi, she smiled. But when the ox cart came closer and she saw the white gauze covering her daughter's face, she suddenly had a bad premonition.
"Lianyi, why did you come back at this time? Your face..."
"Mom, let's go back to the house and talk about it. Let's move the things off the ox cart first. Uncle is rushing back to town. It will be difficult to travel any later."
Lianyi winked at Zhang Hui Niang and said.
"Hey! Hey! I'll help you right away."
As they were talking, the mother, daughter and the driver took all the miscellaneous items on the ox cart into the main house, received their tips, and left, waving their whips.
After receiving the news, Song Dachuan hurried back home.
