The sound of a chair hitting the ground caused everyone to stop talking. Yang Zheng looked up and saw Chen Xuanming standing up with a gloomy face and walking downstairs.
Bai Jilang also chased after him.
"Hey hey—Brother Chen, Bai Erlang! Wait for me! Are you going to destroy the Wuyang Tower? I want to go too!"
Bai Erlang turned around with a glare, "Yang Zheng, you're going to suffer for your mouth sooner or later!"
This reminded Yang Zheng of his own sad past. He covered his stomach and said, "That's right? I was really unlucky. You stabbed me... Wuuwuwu——"
Dong Feng covered Yang Zheng's mouth with a smile on his face, "Go and do what you need to do. Yang Zheng is drunk, so don't take his words seriously."
Dong Feng let go of Bai Erlang's hand after watching him leave. "Why did you do this?"
As a good friend of Yang Zheng, how could he not tell that Yang Zheng was pretending to be drunk?
Yang Zheng chuckled, "If it weren't for the promise he made to someone else, anyone who wants to get involved in the Chen family's affairs would be better off getting drunk! They say this young master is unlearned and unskillful, but I can also be considered a wise fool!"
"What did you say to Chen Xuanming just now? Why did his face look so dark?" The restaurant was noisy and Dong Feng couldn't hear clearly because he was sitting close to the restaurant.
Yang Zheng waved his hand and walked downstairs, "Nothing, just a new uncle."
"What uncle—you don't want to drink anymore?"
“I don’t want to drink anymore…”
In the Wangyue Tower in Huaizhou, Chen Su, after removing his bandages and taking a bath, sat in front of the bronze mirror in a daze. His face, which had been mostly destroyed, could now vaguely see its former outline.
Tormented by pain for so long, he almost forgot what he originally looked like.
A knock on the door woke him up - "General, are you done washing? Miss is here to give you acupuncture!"
Chen Su immediately put the mask on the table back on and said, "Come in."
Listening carefully, the voice was trembling.
Jiang Huaixu opened the door and poked her head out to look around. The moment she saw the mask on Shen Su's face, the smile on her face disappeared. She said dissatisfiedly: "Daddy Hou, you have to let me see how your face is recovering, right?"
Chen Su showed the burn on his arm and said, "It's gotten much better."
Jiang Huaixu glanced at the area of his skin that was still smooth, "I remember it clearly. Your injury here wasn't serious to begin with."
Chen Su pursed his lips and looked at Jiang Huaixu. After a while, he said, "Dad wants you to see a good dad. If you want to see it, I can draw my old self for you."
"No." Jiang Huaixu shook his head. "I want to heal the wound on your face and see your face without the mask."
Chen Su was silent for a long time, then replied softly, "Okay. Then I'll leave it to Ah Xu."
After three days of acupuncture, Jiang Huaixu sealed the poison in Shen Su's body in his fingertips, then took out silver needles and pricked all ten of Shen Su's fingers. Dark red blood dripped from his fingertips into the white jade bowl.
After bleeding, Shen Su drank the potion given by Jiang Huaixu in one gulp. Jiang Huaixu stared at him curiously.
"What are you looking at?" Shen Su asked in confusion.
"Daddy Marquis, do you feel something is wrong?"
The long title of "Marquis Daddy" was requested by Shen Su himself. It was not the first time that Jiang Huaixu called someone daddy, let alone the biological father of this body. He was already very familiar with it.
Shen Su shook his head.
Jiang Huaixu had no choice but to hold his face and continue waiting.
After waiting for a long time, Shen Su did not show her initial embarrassment until she said, "Something is indeed wrong. I seem to smell a bad odor."
Jiang Huaixu disappointedly asked Chen Su to go take a shower and returned to his temporary residence.
[No wonder I spent so many points. Turns out I don't have to suffer from diarrhea.]
Fu Tuan groaned, "This is all for your own good, but you didn't listen. You deserve to faint."
[You were just trying to earn points for yourself! It's hindsight.]
Jiang Huaixu, angry and embarrassed, muted the group and started looking for medicine that was effective in treating burns in the mall.
She murmured softly, "There are medicines for internal repair, so there should be medicines for skin repair..."
After a while she gave up.
The mall has a wide variety of products, there are so many of them, it’s better to let Futuan find them.
Fu Tuan, who was unmuted, wanted to take Qiao's, but when he thought that this was to earn points for himself, he became discouraged.
[Here, apply this on your face, it smells nice, just use it as a skincare product.]
After buying it, Jiang Huaixu received a small bottle of white ointment.
She breathed a sigh of relief, "I finally managed to accumulate five million points, but now they've dropped again. Fu Tuan, please stop pushing me to buy things in the future..."
As he spoke, he took out a small fat porcelain pot from the space, scooped the ointment into the pot and then covered it.
After finishing, she stood up and wanted to find Li Qiaoer. When she opened the door, she met Li Qiaoer who was raising her hand to knock on the door.
"Sister Qiao'er, are you here to see me?"
Li Qiao'er looked confused. "Ah Xu, I went out to buy some things, and when I came back, I ran into that guy named Lu Hui on the street."
"What happened to him?"
"It seems he was beaten up, and his injuries were quite severe. His mother also seems to be ill. He was helping someone copy books when someone injured his right hand, so he had to do heavy labor. I felt really sorry for him, so I lent him some of the money my parents gave me."
Jiang Huaixu knew that Li Qiao'er would definitely not sit idly by, so he deliberately asked, "Sister Qiao'er, aren't you afraid that he will run away with your money?"
"I'm not afraid." Li Qiao'er shook her head. "If you hadn't saved us, we would have died. Now I just want to help others if I can. If I'm wrong, I'll take the blame."
Jiang Huaixu nodded. "It's not a good idea to keep helping him. The three of them, mother and son, still have to stand on their own feet. I do have something I'd like him to help me with, but it depends on whether he's willing."
"Ah Xu, do you know what people say he is?" Li Qiao'er said excitedly, "A child prodigy! I originally thought he was good at studying, but I heard him say on the street that he's good at math! If he's good at accounting, wouldn't that be a perfect opportunity for him to help us?"
"A math prodigy?"
"Yeah! After he learned to read, he could quickly figure out the accounts his father couldn't. But his parents wanted him to take the imperial examinations, and they got angry when they saw him doing it, so he stopped doing it."
Jiang Huaixu curled his lips and said, "I'll find a time tomorrow to ask him what his wishes are."
"Miss, Miss! The general is looking for you!" Yan Qun walked over quickly with a happy face. "The general said that he felt much better after drinking your potion, and his strength seems to have increased!"
"His strength increased because his health has improved..." Jiang Huaixu explained dryly.
Suddenly, he ran into Li Qiao'er's shocked face—"General?"
Yan Qun suddenly stopped and, in a moment of excitement, called out his usual name.
Jiang Huaixu scratched his head and said, "I'll explain it to you later. I'm going to go see how my father is doing first."
