"Miss, your face must be very painful. It's all my fault."
Sixian looked at Jiang Ranli's swollen face and burst into tears with heartache.
"I'm fine, let's go back quickly. Boil an egg and roll it on my face. It hurts so much."
Touching his swollen cheek, Jiang Ranli took a breath. It hurt so much.
When she returned to the courtyard, Sidai was extremely anxious. Seeing Jiang Ranli coming back with a swollen cheek, she was stunned for a moment, and then she immediately trotted forward.
"Miss, what's wrong with you? Why is your face so swollen? Sixian, how do you take care of me?"
Sixian, who was named, burst into tears when she heard the words. She didn't cry because she was criticized by Sixian, but because she felt useless. If she could be braver, if she could be stronger, the young lady would not be framed like this.
Jiang Ranli's heart softened upon seeing this. She rolled her eyes and covered her swollen cheek, crying out in pain.
Upon hearing the voice, Sixian and Sidai quickly diverted their attention and helped her to clean and apply medicine.
While rolling the egg on her cheek, Jiang Ranli remembered what Dong E said when they parted. Somehow, she always felt that there was something else behind those words.
Telling herself not to think about what happened today? Dong E is indeed the legitimate wife. She is hinting that she should think carefully about what happened today.
As he pondered, Jiang Ranli suddenly understood the meaning of Dong E's last words.
"She said that Geng started to act arrogantly in the mansion because her father was promoted. She must have done something that made her feel threatened, so she set up today's trap to get rid of Geng and kill the baby in Liu's belly. It's really a good plan to kill two birds with one stone."
Thinking of this, Jiang Ranli sneered. The thoughts of these ancient women were much deeper and more vicious than she had imagined.
"But what do these things have to do with me? Why did she suggest that I think carefully about what happened today?"
Jiang Ranli couldn't figure it out no matter how hard she tried. She was so low-key in this mansion that she was practically nonexistent. How could such a threat could she pose to the Dong E family? Why would the Dong E family be so deliberate in making an example of her by killing the chicken?
"Miss, what are you talking about? Does your face still hurt?" Sidai walked in from outside.
"Much better, Sidai, what are you holding in your hand?" Jiang Ranli asked.
"This was just sent by the lady. There are some ointments and a letter. It says it is a letter from the master to the young lady."
As Sidai spoke, she handed the letter to Jiang Ranli, and threw the ointments aside.
After living in the mansion for a long time, she also knew Dong E's true character, and she would never dare to use those ointments on her own lady's face, in case they were poisonous.
After receiving the letter, Jiang Ranli felt mixed emotions. When she first traveled through time, she lived in the general's mansion. That so-called father always had a stern face when she saw him. He had no affection for her at all and didn't care how she was bullied in the mansion.
"I didn't expect that I would receive a letter from him. Strange things happen every year, but there are especially many today."
Thinking of the scene when she just came here, Jiang Ranli raised her lips and smiled bitterly, but she also realized that the reason why Dong E hinted at her today had a lot to do with the letter in front of her.
Looking at the wax seal of the letter that had been removed long ago, Jiang Ranli was not surprised at all. When a letter was sent to the Ninth Prince's residence, it would definitely be opened and inspected. This was a necessary procedure.
