After the meal, Su Wan personally escorted Bai Zhiyi back to her residence.
"Miss Bai, your cooking is really good," she said, her words carrying a hidden meaning. "It's on par with the chefs at Renhe Restaurant in Youzhou City."
She had previously hosted Luna at Renhe Restaurant in Youzhou, where they ordered only mutton. Coincidentally, Bai Zhiyi also ordered a mutton dish this time, and she immediately recognized it as being from a restaurant in Youzhou.
Bai Zhiyi realized that Su Wan was being sarcastic, but she couldn't lash out in public, so she could only laugh and say, "Madam, what are you saying? My cooking skills are quite rough..."
Su Wan chuckled inwardly, but said in a serious tone, "It's a pity Miss Bai, your eyes are injured, otherwise you could eat with us too."
Bai Zhiyi took a deep breath, suppressing her resentment, and smiled, "I've already eaten, so a little water will do."
The two arrived at the door, and Su Wan said to Bai Zhiyi's maid, "You help your young lady inside. I'm going to get some medicine, so I won't go in."
The maid said, "Madam, the bedding for the guest room..."
Su Wan looked at the maid with a puzzled expression: "What bedding?"
Bai Zhiyi quickly interrupted, "It's alright, it's alright. Madam, if you have something to do, please go ahead and do it. I'll go inside and rest."
The maid helped Bai Zhiyi into the room, closed the door, peeked through the crack for a while, and then turned back and said, "Miss, she's gone. Take off your blindfold."
Bai Zhiyi ripped off the blindfold and slammed it on the table angrily: "That bitch, she's infuriating me."
“That’s right,” the maid also spoke up for Bai Zhiyi, “Miss, we’re really at a disadvantage. We spent a thousand taels of silver, and you didn’t even eat a single bite. It’s like this dish was bought for her.”
“It’s alright, Your Highness also ate a couple of bites,” Bai Zhiyi said, biting her lip. “Anyway, this bitch won’t be able to cause trouble for long, so let her be arrogant for a while.”
"Miss, why won't you let me mention the bedding?" the maid asked, still puzzled.
Bai Zhiyi snorted: "If you bring it up with her, aren't you asking a tiger for its skin? Go to the kitchen and see if you can get some leftovers. I'm hungry."
The maidservant nodded in agreement and said casually, "I'll go get something to eat right away. Miss, please have some water first."
Bai Zhiyi's stomach was full of water, and the mention of water made her angry. She said irritably, "Don't mention water anymore!"
The maid realized she had misspoke and quickly opened the door to leave.
Bai Zhiyi suddenly called out to her, "What's wrong with Eunuch Yang? He hasn't come out since His Highness returned."
The maid turned around and said, "Miss, have you forgotten? Eunuch Yang caught a cold last night and developed a high fever. He is currently bedridden."
“What does it matter if I have a fever?” Bai Zhiyi suddenly stood up. “Let’s go find him and tell him to issue an imperial decree to take that bitch away. I really don’t want to see her for another second.”
She left without warning, and the maid noticed that she hadn't brought a blindfold. She turned around, grabbed a white cloth from the table, and chased after her, but dared not speak loudly, calling out softly, "Miss, cloth, cloth!"
"No, no, I'm going now. Come with me."
"No, it's the eye, the eye."
Bai Zhiyi then realized what was happening and quickly turned around to take the cloth and cover her face with it.
Zhao Xiyue happened to bring over a tube of ointment and saw Bai Zhiyi in a flustered state, so she quickly said, "Miss Bai, why did you take off your blindfold?"
Bai Zhiyi had no choice but to close her eyes tightly and turn to Zhao Xiyue with a smile, "It's Miss Zhao. I just had the maid take off the cloth to see how the recovery is going?"
Zhao Xiyue said, "You were just burned last night, how could you be better today? My cousin-in-law gave me some ointment to bring to you."
Bai Zhiyi forced a smile and said, "Just give the ointment to the maid, I'll apply it later."
Zhao Xiyue refused and walked up to her, saying, "Miss Bai, please don't be stubborn. You personally cooked for Brother Jin and got so badly injured. I feel really bad about it. I'm here to comfort you."
The maid was startled and tried to stop her, saying, "Miss Zhao, my lady doesn't need any medicine for her eyes."
“It’s alright, this was given to me by my cousin-in-law. It’s specially for treating burns,” Zhao Xiyue said, opening the cap of the ointment. “Miss Zhao, please don’t be shy. I’ll apply it for you myself.”
Bai Zhiyi tried her best to sound relaxed and said, "Well... okay then."
After a while, Zhao Xiyue applied the ointment all over Bai Zhiyi's eyes, then thoughtfully covered them with a white cloth and tied it tightly. She instructed, "Miss Bai, my cousin-in-law said that the ointment should be applied six times a day, once every two hours. I'll come back to apply it for you again later."
Bai Zhiyi's eyes were covered in ointment, and now she really couldn't see anything. Her eyes felt hot and cold, and the strong smell of medicine hit her nose, making her tears flow. She smiled and said, "Miss Zhao, you really don't need to do this. Just give the ointment to my maid."
Zhao Xiyue glanced at the maid and clutched the ointment: "I'm afraid the servants won't apply it properly, so I'll do it myself... Miss Zhao, why are you crying?"
“I feel that Madam is too good to me,” Bai Zhiyi almost cried. “She asked Miss Zhao to give me the ointment right after lunch. She is so thoughtful.”
Zhao Xiyue shared the same sentiment and nodded, saying, "Miss Bai, you should rest well. I'll go now."
Bai Zhiyi stood still, waiting for the footsteps to disappear, then clenched her fists and said, "That bitch, she... she deliberately messed with me."
The maid said, "Miss, it's so uncomfortable to have medicine all over your eyes. Let's go back to our room and wash it off first."
Bai Zhiyi grasped the maid's wrist and said, "No, leave it like this. If it gets washed off, I'm afraid that bitch will come up with some other insidious tricks. We need to go find Eunuch Yang right away. I really can't see the road now, so please hold me tight."
The master and servant arrived at Yang Yaozu's room, and even before they reached the door, they could hear Yang Yaozu groaning inside.
