Upon returning from the funeral hall, the first thing Nanzhi did was look in the mirror.
Unlike the mirrors in TV dramas, the mirror in the original owner's boudoir was a bronze mirror with a grass and leaf pattern. Because it was polished frequently, it was so shiny that it reflected people clearly.
Nanzhi stared at herself in the mirror, momentarily stunned.
She has a large red birthmark on her right cheek, running from the corner of her eye to her forehead.
The original owner was insecure and grew a lot of bangs in an attempt to cover her birthmark. Her bangs on the right side almost covered her eyes, making her look very unconventional.
The birthmark on my forehead is covered, but how can I cover the one at the corner of my eye?
Therefore, whenever the original owner met someone, he would only look at them with his left cheek, baring his teeth like a tiger, always on guard, and looking very intimidating.
Her younger sister is beautiful, and whenever the two appear together, they are inevitably compared by others.
She disliked Nan Wan intensely; despite being sisters, they treated each other worse than strangers.
If even sisters are like this, then what about close female friends?
The original owner's parents also failed to provide her with proper education, which led to her distorted and dark personality.
However, aside from the birthmark, Nanzhi discovered that the original owner was actually quite beautiful.
She has a pair of very alluring fox eyes, with rounded inner corners and upturned outer corners; a single glance from her is captivating and charming.
Because she dislikes seeing people and often stays in the shadows, her skin is pale and her face is like jade. When she smiles, it is as bright as a plum blossom on a branch.
She was slender and graceful, walking quietly down the street; her silhouette must have captivated many.
Unfortunately, the original owner had a volatile temper, so if she were to walk quietly on the street alone, she would have to gouge out the eyes of passersby.
Do you have any medication to remove birthmarks?
We have to get one, not for anyone else, but just for her own happiness.
If given the chance, who wouldn't want to look beautiful?
Yes, Zhizhi, but because the birthmark was present from the original owner, it's quite difficult to remove...
Nanzhi asked impatiently, "How many points?"
003 smiled shyly: 【999. 】
Nanzhi looked at her 0 points and her mouth twisted again.
Let's get pregnant first. Once she's accumulated enough points, she'll definitely go out and have a blast.
But Jiang Huaixu dislikes her so much that getting him to willingly share a room with her would be harder than climbing to heaven.
She looked at the loyal maid beside her, "Niu Niu."
Niu Niu immediately let out a loud moo: "Miss, Niu Niu is here!!"
Nanzhi silently pulled out a stool to move away from her, afraid that her hearing would go deaf before her face had even recovered.
But as she got further away, she realized she couldn't see Niu Niu's eyes anymore.
"Niu Niu, open your eyes."
Niu Niu mooed in confusion, "Miss, you've already opened your eyes as wide as possible."
Nan Zhi: ...Sometimes she really wants to laugh.
Nanzhi rubbed her temples before whispering something to her.
"What?! An aphrodisiac???"
The sound exploded like a thunderclap in the east courtyard.
Nanzhi quickly jumped up and covered her mouth.
"Keep your voice down."
The sound was so loud that she suspected Shen Huaixu had heard it.
Niu Niu then whispered like a thief, "What does Miss need the aphrodisiac for?"
Nan Zhi chuckled slyly twice: "What do you think?"
"Give it to Wangcai?" Niu Niu scratched his head, looking bewildered. "But it's already dead. Will it come back to life if we eat it?"
Nanzhi almost fainted.
Nan Zhi ultimately didn't let Niu Niu buy the aphrodisiac; her intelligence was truly touching.
Fearing that the aphrodisiac had been bought, she ran directly to tell Shen Huaixu.
"Hey, you little slut, the lady is giving you aphrodisiacs, why don't you hurry up and kowtow to thank her?"
Nanzhi shook her head, trying to stop thinking about it; the more she thought about it, the more horrified she became.
Nanzhi found a reliable maid to buy aphrodisiacs.
Then they put it into Shen Huaixu's food.
Shen Huaixu is too wary; he definitely won't eat anything from her room.
He usually eats leftovers, so it's not easy for him to notice if it's put in there.
Before Shen Huaixu arrived, Nanzhi had Niuniu bury Wangcai.
The original owner's character setting wasn't explicitly stated, but she still preferred to follow it and didn't want to change too much, lest it arouse suspicion and cause unnecessary trouble.
At this moment, Shen Huaixu reluctantly entered the house and stood to the side, far away from Nanzhi, as if he were disgusted by something.
Nanzhi sat at the table, drinking her wine while glancing at him with her left eye.
"What are you standing there for? Come and have a drink."
Shen Huaixu replied neither servilely nor arrogantly: "I dare not."
He was afraid she had drugged it.
Nan Zhi snorted coldly: "If I hadn't been so heartbroken because Wangcai died, I would have gotten up and slapped you long ago."
Shen Huaixu looked at her with a very calm gaze.
He had gotten used to her harsh words.
Nanzhi was drinking her wine when she suddenly covered her face and started crying.
"Waaaa, Wangcai is dead, my little Wangcai is dead..."
She cried, her voice gradually fading as tears fell silently. Her right cheek was shrouded in darkness, while her left cheek was illuminated by the candlelight, creating an indescribable feeling of being half in shadow and half in light.
Shen Huaixu frowned slightly.
"It's my favorite dog son, only he wags his tail at me, only he never..."
Nanzhi wiped away her tears, as if touching a wound in her heart, and stopped speaking.
Shen Huaixu instantly understood her unspoken words.
Only it never disliked her.
He seemed to be thinking of something, and his thin lips pursed silently.
For the past twenty years, he has also been disliked by everyone.
[Ding, Shen Huaixu's favorability has increased by 1%.]
[Ding, host's points increased by 10, current points: 10.]
