next day
Suman sat in front of the mirror and tied her long hair into a bun with the help of eyebrow embroidery.
Just as Mei Xiu was helping her put on makeup powder, she clearly felt that Mei Xiu's breathing became heavy.
Su Man suddenly thought of the uneven feeling on her left cheek.
"Don't I look scary?"
"Ah? No, no."
From her reaction, it was clear that this eyebrow embroidery artist wasn't someone with deep scheming, so Su Man softened her tone, "It's okay, I know my face is ruined, I just wanted to thank you. After all, it's hard for you to face a face like this every day."
"That's not the case, Madam. You are just like this because of the poison. Once Miss Yan cures you, you will be the same as before."
"Is that so..."
Su Man fumbled with her hair, "What was I like before?"
"You are the most beautiful woman I have ever seen."
Su Man smiled, "More beautiful than Miss Yan?"
"Miss Yan always wears a veil, and I don't know what she looks like."
Wearing a veil...
Just when Su Man wanted to ask again, a male voice interrupted them.
"What are you talking about? You look so happy?"
Su Man was afraid that Mei Xiu would talk nonsense, so she took over the conversation, "Husband, aren't you going out today?"
"I'm leaving now, so I'll stay with you first."
Su Man's heart moved, "Where are you going, my husband? Can you take me with you?"
"What's wrong?"
She lowered her head. "I want to go out and see if I can remember anything."
Jian Anhe sighed, "It's not that I don't let you go out, it's that you are in danger of the poison attack at any time, I'm just worried about you."
"yes."
Su Man laughed at herself, "It's not just the poison. I'm in this state now. I'm afraid I'll scare people if I go out."
Not knowing what Jian Anhe did, Mei Xiu fell to her knees with a thud.
"That's not what the servant said."
Su Man came to her rescue at the right time, "I touched it myself, otherwise, how long would you have kept it a secret from me?"
"I'm just afraid that you'll be sad." Jian Anhe hugged her from behind, "Linlang, no matter what you look like, my heart will never change."
Suman turned around and threw herself into his arms.
"Husband."
...
After Jian Anhe left, Su Man sent Mei Xiu away.
Now she could conclude that Jian Anhe was deliberately not letting her go out. Mei Xiu also confirmed this.
As long as she showed the slightest thought of wanting to go out, Mei Xiu would feel like facing a formidable enemy, let alone taking her out.
If she can't go out, she won't be able to find a doctor to treat her eyes and will always be controlled by others.
We have to think of a way.
Perhaps because he was afraid that she would be too depressed when she knew about her disfigurement, Jian Anhe brought a lot of little gadgets to cheer her up when he came back.
But Suman was immersed in the sadness of "disfigurement" and had no interest.
"I'm tired and want to sleep."
"Take the medicine before going to bed, and you'll recover sooner."
The warm medicine was brought to Su Man's lips, and she could already smell the bitter taste in the bowl.
"This medicine is so bitter."
Su Man frowned, trying to avoid the bowl of medicine of unknown ingredients.
Jian Anhe usually obeyed her in everything, but when it came to taking medicine, he was extremely persistent.
"How can you detoxify without taking the medicine? Drink it quickly. Be good, I'll ask Mei Xiu to bring you some candied fruit later."
"I don't care, I want it now."
"You, you." Jian Anhe nodded at her forehead lovingly and said in a loud voice, "Mei Xiu, bring in the candied fruit."
A moment later, a plate of preserves was placed next to her.
"The preserves are here. Can you drink your medicine now?"
Su Man knew that she had to drink this medicine.
If she didn't drink and Jian Anhe saw through her flaws, her situation would be even more dangerous.
So Su Man no longer hesitated and drank the bowl of bitter medicine.
Seeing that she had finished drinking, Jian Anhe did not stay any longer. He told her to have a good rest and left.

Late at night
Suman tossed and turned in bed.
Suddenly, there was a sharp pain in my wrist.
It was Mimi biting her.
Su Man frowned. Mimi never bit her, except for accidentally hurting her when playing, and she rarely even scratched her. She would never do that suddenly.
Is there someone in the room?
Thinking of this possibility, Su Man tried her best to make her breathing steady and pretend to be asleep.
Is it Jian Anhe?
Probably not. Even if he had doubts about her, he should have observed her when she was awake.
What can you tell here in the middle of the night? See if she snores or grinds her teeth when she sleeps?
Who would that be...
Could it be Yan Ling'er?
Su Man quietly reached under the pillow and touched the hairpin she had hidden for self-defense.
Just as the man walked to the bed, she suddenly stabbed him.
The fierce attack was easily resolved by the newcomer, who also touched a spot on her neck.
Then, Suman found that she could not speak.
This was beyond her comprehension, but unfortunately she didn't have extra time to study it because there was a dagger across her neck.
The dagger was curved, and half of her neck could feel the cool touch.
"If you move again, I'll cut your neck."
The man's voice was hoarse, as if his vocal cords were injured.
Suman raised her hands to show that she would never move.
The coolness moved a little further away from her neck. "Tell me, where is that woman?"
Suman:???
There are tens of thousands of women in the world, which woman are you talking about?
But the man didn't understand her subtext and smiled sinisterly, "If you don't tell me, I'll cut your neck."
