Three days later.
Gu Qingfeng's carriage appeared in Shudu City and headed towards the general's mansion in a hurry.
He had originally planned to stay in the Plum Garden for a few more days before returning home, but who would have thought that Gu Qingfeng received a letter from Old Master Gu, saying that something had happened at home and asked Gu Qingfeng to return immediately.
So he immediately rushed back.
"Uncle Fu." As soon as Gu Qingfeng got off the carriage, he saw the butler standing at the door with an anxious look on his face, as if he was waiting for him. "What's the matter that makes you so flustered?"
In Gu Qingfeng's impression, he had never seen such a panicked butler. After all, this person had followed Old Man Gu since he was young. What kind of storm had he not seen?
At this time, Chang'an was helped out of the carriage by Wanxin. Her face was wrapped in white gauze, with only her eyes exposed.
At first glance, the face looks like it's wrapped like a mummy.
Uncle Fu saw Chang'an's appearance and asked, "This...this is Miss Chang'an?"
Changan nodded slightly.
On the side, Wan Xin sighed slightly and explained, "I met a doctor who treated the scars on my daughter's face. He specifically told her that after taking the medicine, her face must not be exposed to the wind. Otherwise, even a great immortal would not be able to heal the scars on her face.
I had thought I would come back after seeing the wind for a few days, but who knew that after receiving the letter from the old master, my master ordered me to come back."
"Then... then quickly, let the young lady go back to her room." Uncle Fu asked someone to open the door and explained to Gu Qingfeng, "It's because our little ancestor got into trouble. The old master really had no other choice, so he wrote to you and asked you to come back immediately."
Wanxin carefully supported Chang'an. After hearing Uncle Fu's explanation, a hint of sarcasm quickly crossed her lips.
She had known about what was happening in the mansion for a long time.
Three days ago, when Changan was leaving Shudu, he deliberately let Gu Shijia know that Changan was treating the scars on his face and that they would never heal in his lifetime.
Chang'an deliberately wanted to make something happen to Gu Shijia, otherwise the mansion would be too quiet.
I had waited for two days but didn't see any movement from Gu Shijia. Unexpectedly, on the third day, before dawn, someone came to the General's Mansion and said that something big had happened there.
It turned out that Gu Shijia, in order to get Chang'an back, actually scratched the face of the third lady Gu Shirou.
Wanxin helped Chang'an back to their own courtyard.
As soon as I arrived at the gate of the courtyard, I found that Xihong, Gu Shijia's personal maid, was sneaking around and peeking around. It was obvious that she was here to get some information.
The gate was deliberately left a gap.
As Chang'an just walked into the courtyard, a little girl's anxious voice rang out.
It was none other than Dongxue, Chang'an's personal maid.
Chang'an looked at Dongxue and his eyes slowly became moist.
In the previous life, Dongxue was a maid who came with him as a dowry and followed him into the Fourth Prince’s mansion.
Not long after she married Bei Ming Ye, this girl was taken in as Bei Ming Ye's concubine. However, the next day, Dong Xue hanged herself in her room.
She didn't leave a single word at that time. She just knew that this girl didn't want to be Bei Ming Ye's concubine, and she didn't think about her. When Bei Ming Ye made the request, she agreed directly.
I guess Dongxue blamed me at that time, and I didn't even bother to find out the real cause of Dongxue's death.
"Miss." Dongxue looked at Chang'an in surprise. "I've only been gone for half a month. What happened to your face? I heard from the people in the mansion that you found a doctor for treatment. Why do you still have to wrap your face like this? It looks scary."
"Dongxue." Wanxin said with a hint of reproach, "Quick, help the young lady back to the house. She can't be exposed to the wind now."
As he spoke, Wanxin glanced towards the courtyard gate behind him.
Dongxue immediately understood what was going on, so she deliberately said loudly, "It's so cold today, how can there be no wind? Why doesn't Aunt let Miss get better before returning? If she doesn't get better, Aunt will be guilty of a great sin."
As she spoke, Wanxin Dongxue supported Chang'an and entered the room.
The people outside the courtyard were still unwilling to give up, trying to find out something so that they could report to their master.
At this time, Chang'an in the room took off the medicine cloth wrapped around her face, revealing her fair skin. It was a face that was so stunning that it could captivate the whole country.
"Young...Miss?" Dongxue's eyes widened. She simply couldn't believe it. "Are you still the young lady I know? How come...you're so beautiful?"
"Don't talk nonsense." Aunt Wanxin smiled and ordered, "Go get a basin of water first, hurry up."
"Oh." Dongxue nodded a little confusedly, and quickly fetched a basin of water.
Aunt Wanxin took out a small porcelain bottle from her body and poured the white powder inside into the water. In an instant, the water turned red and even smelled of blood.
"Go and see if that girl Xihong is still outside the door." Chang'an ordered Dongxue.
Not long after, Dongxue came back and said, "Miss, Xihong is still outside."
Wan Xin smiled and said, "Dongxue, today I'll give you a chance to vent your anger."
Dong Xue glanced at Chang An in confusion, then looked at Aunt Wan Xin, "I dare not provoke her. She knows some martial arts, which I don't. And every time I come back, I will be scolded.
Miss will also be ridiculed by Miss Shijia, and Qin will have to reprimand her and she might even be punished."
Hearing this, Chang'an sighed inwardly. He was indeed too cowardly in the past. Not only did he suffer a lot of grievances, but Dongxue and Aunt Wanxin who followed him were also bullied.
"Go ahead." Chang'an swore to the heavens, "You can do whatever you want this time. Miss, I will ensure that nothing happens to you.
All the grievances you suffered in the past, I will redeem you today."
"I am not afraid of being wronged, but I am worried that the young lady will be punished."
"Hurry up and go." Wan Xin urged, "Otherwise, once the people outside the courtyard leave, you won't have a chance to vent your anger today."
Dongxue didn't hesitate any longer and picked up the basin of blood and walked outside.
She saw clearly that the moment she walked towards the gate, the person who was secretly watching her outside immediately disappeared.
The courtyard gate was opened and there was no one outside. Dongxue looked left and right and caught a glimpse of a piece of clothing in the bushes beside the courtyard gate. It was Xihong's clothes.
Dongxue looked indifferent, pretending to know nothing, and poured a basin of blood onto Xihong.
"Ah——" With a scream, Xihong came out from the bushes in an instant. The blood was on her clothes and hair, and the blood flowed down her hair and onto her face.
Dongxue looked at Xihong, who was covered in blood. She pretended to be scared and said, "Ghost, female ghost... Help, there's a ghost! Ghost!"
"You're the ghost!" Xihong was filled with anger. "Dongxue, you bitch, what did you throw at me?"
