Shirou knew what Gu Shijia was thinking. Wasn't it that she hated that he could marry the Fourth Prince but she couldn't?
So Shirou pretended to be distressed and said, "Today, my second sister and I came to see you, my elder sister, just to tell you that the injury you inflicted on my face has fully healed. I hope you can rest assured and heal your wounds, and stop blaming yourself."
"Okay." Gu Shijia replied with a smile, but deep down, she hated these two people so much that she wanted them to die immediately.
Especially when seeing Gu Changan's face, she was prettier than herself when she was a child. Everyone who saw Changan would always praise her, but she was like a transparent person standing next to her.
So she was unwilling to give in, so she pushed her off the rockery while playing, and used bone-eroding powder on her wound. This happened without anyone knowing, and so many years have passed.
However, a quack doctor appeared and actually cured the patient.
The more she thought about it, the angrier she became. Gu Shijia tried hard to suppress her anger. She asked, "Chang'an, what happened yesterday was my sister's fault. Please don't blame me. If the maid next to me hadn't told me this morning, I wouldn't have known that I had embarrassed you yesterday."
Changan thought to himself, "Luckily, the scar on my face has healed, otherwise I would have been ugly for the rest of my life, and then I would have hated my cousin forever."
"Fortunately, otherwise I would have become a sinner." Gu Shijia forced a smile and looked at Chang'an and said, "But, I heard people in the mansion say that your face cannot be exposed to the wind. If it is blown by the wind, it may never recover in your lifetime. But now your face..."
Changan was happy in her heart. She was waiting for Gu Shijia to ask this question. She pretended to be puzzled and said, "Sis, when you mention this, Changan does have a question in her mind."
Gu Shijia didn't say anything and just looked at Chang'an.
Shirou, who was sitting next to Changan, asked, "Could it be that Second Sister doesn't know how the scar on her face healed?"
Wan Xin, who was standing behind Chang An, said, "It can be said that this is a blessing in disguise. The doctor did say that my young lady's face cannot be exposed to the wind.
Who would have thought that Miss Shijia had beaten my daughter severely yesterday, and the whip was filled with poison. The new poison from yesterday collided with the old poison from many years ago.
Fighting poison with poison, the poison actually flowed out of the body along with the blood, so the scar on the face healed."
"Why is this happening?" Gu Shijia suddenly asked, surprised and disbelieving, "You were beaten even more often before, so why haven't the scars on your face healed?"
“…”Everyone was surprised for two reasons.
First, Gu Shijia said, "I was beaten more often in the past."
Second, the regretful words mentioned "old poison from many years ago."
"Uh..." Gu Shijia noticed everyone's surprise and made up an excuse in the chaos, "An old poison from many years ago?"
"What do you mean by old poison from many years ago?" Bei Mingye looked at Gu Changan with doubt.
But he saw a smile in Gu Chang'an's eyes, as if there was a hint of sarcasm and a hint of teasing. Such a look made Bei Mingye feel uneasy. At this moment, he suddenly felt that after all these years, he seemed to have never known Gu Chang'an.
Bei Ming Ye looked at Chang An, but Chang An didn't even look at him. He just stared at Gu Shijia who was unable to move on the bed.
Following Chang'an's silence and gaze, everyone looked at Gu Shijia.
This feeling of attention made Gu Shijia feel guilty and uneasy as if he was seen through by others, as if all his secrets were exposed at this moment, exposed in full view of everyone.
Changan slowly withdrew her gaze. She glanced at everyone and sighed slightly, "Changan doesn't know what happened. He fell from the rockery when he was playing with his cousin."
"Yes, Miss." Wan Xin continued, "Did you notice anything wrong or coincidental back then?"
Wanxin asked this question, but at this time Changan was using the art of sound transmission to mock Gu Shijia.
"Cousin, Chang'an wants to thank you for what you did yesterday. As for my face not being able to be seen by the wind, that's all nonsense. I just want you to take the bait and cause trouble for me.
If you don't cause me trouble and don't use your whip to whip me, how can you fight poison with poison? If you can't fight poison with poison, my face will never heal in my lifetime.
I took advantage of your reluctance to see me recover and made you cause trouble for me. Sure enough, you fell into my trap. This is truly a cause for celebration for me, especially as I can take this opportunity to teach you a lesson. It feels so good!
Gu Shijia heard it clearly. Her eyes widened, filled with anger. It turned out that she was being used. Gu Changan did it on purpose. "You... Gu Changan, you..."
Without saying a word, he suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood in anger.
Suddenly, Gu Qingyun panicked, "Come, hurry up, get the doctor."
"How could this happen?" Chang'an frowned, looking at Gu Shijia on the bed. He was not pretending but was really angry.
But Chang An was even more convinced that although Gu Shijia looked unconscious, she was conscious, so he continued to send a message to Gu Shijia, "How is it? I didn't expect that your whipping is exactly what I need.
"Cousin, how does it feel to be exploited and abused, to have no way to express your suffering and no way to complain? You will feel this feeling often in the days to come."
Sure enough, after Changan finished speaking, Gu Shijia's eyelids kept moving.
There are several princes here, so please assume that it will be quick and convenient for the imperial physician to come to your house.
Everyone was waiting outside the house. At this time, old man Gu Xiong heard about what happened here and rushed over.
"This old minister greets the princes." Gu Xiong knelt down, but was stopped by the crown prince. "No need for formalities."
Gu Xiong glanced at the people in the yard, and his eyes fixed on Chang'an's face. After a moment of surprise, he quickly returned to normal and pretended to know nothing.
"Qingyun." Gu Xiong was very dissatisfied with his son's arrangement of the princes. "Why isn't Shumin here? The person inside is her daughter. Besides, the princes are all here, but she, the head of the family, doesn't show up. What a shame."
Gu Qingyun didn't think much about it and explained, "Father, Shumin's wrist was injured, so I didn't let her know that the princes were here."
"It's the wrist." Gu Xiong was dissatisfied. "It's not the ankle. If you think like that, you'll be dead on the battlefield."
Gu Qingyun stopped talking and looked extremely ugly.
The eldest prince at the side came to the rescue, "What's wrong? Is she injured? Shu Ke was very worried when she learned about Shijia's nightmare. Now that her sister is injured, she must be worried again."
"Thank you, Grand Prince and Grand Princess, for your concern." Gu Qingyun said immediately, "My wife only has a minor injury. I hope Grand Princess will not worry."
