"It was my elder sister who had bad intentions. I was deceived and fell into her trap."
"Second sister, I know this matter has nothing to do with you!"
Chu Qianling stared at the small porcelain jar in Chu Qianchen's hand with burning eyes.
"Just explain it clearly." Chu Qianchen smiled slightly and put the small porcelain jar back into his sleeve. "Third sister, I'm going back home first."
The others in the back were stunned by the unexpected development.
Originally they thought it was just a dispute between cousins from different families of the Chu family, but unexpectedly, the spearhead suddenly turned to Chu Qianhuang.
The relationship between the three sisters Chu Qianhuang, Chu Qianchen and Chu Qianling seems to be very complicated.
Princess Changning looked at Chu Qianhuang with a subtle look, as if she had uncovered the tip of an iceberg. This Miss Chu didn't seem to be as gentle, generous, and bright as she had thought before!
After the initial shock, the atmosphere around us gradually changed.
Everyone had different expressions, some were surprised and doubtful, some were thoughtful, some looked sarcastic, and some did not take it seriously. Their eyes were scanning back and forth between Chu Qianling and Chu Qianhuang.
Chu Qianhuang: “!!”
She never thought that the fire would burn herself.
Chu Yunyi frowned and scolded Chu Qianling: "Third sister, what nonsense are you talking about!"
Chu Qianling looked at Chu Yunyi with pity, and with a kind of sarcasm as if she was the only one sober while everyone else was drunk, "Chu Yunyi, I advise you to open your eyes." Don't be sold by others and then count the money for others, like she did in the past.
She might have been confused before, but she saw clearly just now that Chu Qianhuang was deliberately trying to sow discord between Chu Yunyi and Chu Qianchen. No wonder they were siblings but had never been close since childhood, and Chu Yunyi had become closer to Chu Qianhuang instead.
"Third sister, you have misunderstood me and my second sister too deeply." Chu Qianhuang said with a forced smile, "When you calm down, you will know what is right and wrong. Don't worry, I will try to find a famous doctor for you..."
Chu Qianhuang looked virtuous and generous, making the excited Chu Qianling look like a unreasonable child.
Chu Qianling was filled with new and old grudges at the same time, and her face behind the veil looked slightly hideous.
If it weren't for Chu Qianhuang, she wouldn't have ended up like this!
Chu Qianling took a step forward, picked up a teacup on the stone table and threw it at Chu Qianhuang's face, interrupting her unfinished words...
“Crash…”
It all happened too quickly. Everyone was still immersed in Chu Qianling's words and had no time to react. They just watched Chu Qianhuang get splashed with tea.
Tea and tea leaves slid down Chu Qianhuang's face. Her hair stuck to her cheeks. Even the clothes on her shoulders and chest were wet. The tea dripped down.
Chu Qianhuang looked like a drowned rat, in a state of disarray, in stark contrast to her usual glamorous appearance.
There was silence all around.
Chu Yunyi, Princess Changning and the others stared at Chu Qianhuang in amazement, with a bit of scrutiny and uncertainty in their eyes, and for a moment they didn't know what was right and what was wrong.
"Miss Chu San, what are you crazy about?" The second son of Marquis Jing'an scolded Chu Qianling harshly, thinking that she was too arrogant and felt even more sorry for Chu Qianhuang being humiliated like this.
The head maid Baoqin wiped Chu Qianhuang's face with a pale face, "Miss, you are not burned, right?"
"I'm fine." Chu Qianhuang's face was pale, and he looked at Chu Qianling again with a solemn expression.
"Third sister, have you had enough of making trouble? One moment you blame the second sister, and the next moment you blame me!"
"I know you hurt your face and you've been in a bad mood these days. Your second sister and I are sisters and we have tolerated it, but you shouldn't go too far and ruin the reputation of the Chu family's daughter."
Her slender waist was straight, like a bunch of orchids, exuding an extraordinary demeanor.
The second son of Marquis Jing'an looked at the embarrassed and weak Chu Qianhuang with pity.
He was somewhat skeptical at first, but after hearing what Chu Qianhuang said, all his doubts disappeared. Yes, this Chu Qianling was obviously crazy because of her disfigurement and biting people randomly. Chu Qianhuang was also unlucky to have such a cousin!
Chu Qianling became even angrier, and her voice became even sharper: "Chu Qianhuang, stop pretending, I've seen through you a long time ago!"
"Don't try to sow discord between me and my second sister. You can deceive others for a while, but you can't deceive them forever. Sooner or later, everyone will know your true face!"
Chu Qianling became more and more excited and angry as she spoke. She strode forward, wishing she could tear Chu Qianhuang's face off.
How could the second son of Marquis Jing'an sit idly by and watch Chu Qianling hurt Chu Qianhuang again? He took a big step forward, stood in front of Chu Qianhuang, and pushed Chu Qianling's shoulder rudely.
Chu Qianling was a woman, so naturally she wasn't as strong as a man. After he pushed her hard, she staggered back two steps and fell backwards.
Her maid tried to help her, but was knocked to the ground by Chu Qianling's momentum.
Chu Qianling cried out in pain, her hair was a little crooked, and the corners of her eyes were slightly red, like a frightened little animal.
Gu Nanzhao couldn't bear to see her like this, so he called out, "Cousin Ling!"
He hurriedly asked the palace maid to help Chu Qianling up.
Chu Qianling fell down and felt pain all over her body, but she was happy in her heart: her cousin really still cared about her! As long as she healed her face, her cousin would definitely change his mind.
"Cousin." Chu Qianling called pitifully, with tears in her eyes.
She trotted to Gu Nanzhao's side, pulled at the corner of his sleeve, her tearful eyes looking so aggrieved and so weak.
"Cousin, what I said is true..."
"You believe me..."
Chu Qianling gripped Gu Nanzhao's hand even tighter.
"Woo wow!" At this time, the third princess cried out in panic from behind, "Second brother, I...I want to go back to the palace!"
The third princess looked anxious. She was frightened by the others' splashing tea and pushing her.
Tears welled up in her eyes, and the crystal tears fell like pearls from a broken string.
"Third sister!" Gu Nanzhao hurriedly went to see the third princess again, patted her shoulder, and soothed her emotions softly, "It's okay, don't be afraid..."
The third princess seemed to have not heard anything and kept saying, "I want to go back to the palace! Back to the palace!"
Seeing that Gu Nanzhao's attention was attracted by the third princess again, Chu Qianling bit her lower lip slightly and wanted to stamp her feet, but it hurt when she moved.
She wanted to call her cousin, but she noticed from the corner of her eye that Chu Qianhuang was looking at her. His eyes were sinister, dark and deep, as if they wanted to suck her in.
Chu Qianling felt a little uneasy, but then raised her head and looked at Chu Qianhuang.
No one noticed that Chu Qianchen had left.
Chu Qianchen left when they were making the most noise, not caring about how they made a fuss or how they acted.
Chu Qianchen returned the same way, walked through the restaurant on the street and exited Yunting Pavilion, leaving the hustle and bustle behind him and continued walking leisurely along the bustling street.
"Amber, let's go to Baiweiju and buy two boxes of lotus cakes."
“The lotus cake at Baiweiju is also a must-try.”
Anyway, it was definitely inconvenient to go to Jishidiang today, so Chu Qianchen simply went to Baiweiju to buy two boxes of snacks before returning to the Marquis' Mansion.
After returning to Wanyan Hospital, she quickly wrote out the prescription, revised it several times, and then called Xue Fengyan to get the medicine.
As soon as Xue Fengyan left, a little maid outside tremblingly reported: "Miss, the third lady is here."
The little maid's voice was filled with doubt and surprise.
Ever since the third young lady injured her face in March, she has been at odds with the second young lady, and she wishes she could scratch the second young lady's face as well. Everyone in the mansion knows about this.
Chu Qianling's sudden visit at this moment made the little maid feel that she was not a good person and that good people would not come.
Chu Qianchen asked the maid to take Chu Qianling to the east room.
The first thing Chu Qianling said when she entered the room was: "Are you satisfied?"
She had just returned from Yunting Pavilion, and the first thing she did was to come here to find Chu Qianchen.
She had already made up her mind and did not hesitate to accuse Chu Qianhuang in public. From then on, she and Chu Qianhuang had completely broken off relations, and it was no longer possible for Chu Qianhuang to act as a matchmaker between her and Gu Nanzhao.
She also helped Chu Qianchen teach Chu Qianhuang a lesson. Now, Chu Qianchen should be satisfied!
Chu Qianling's mood was complicated, with both the thrill of burning her boats and a sense of pleasure.
She could see that although there was no evidence for what she said just now, it had some effect. After Gu Nanzhao brought the third princess back to the palace, Princess Changning's words and deeds clearly distanced her from Chu Qianhuang.
Is she doing this for herself? Chu Qianchen glanced at Chu Qianling with a half-smile, picked up the blue and white porcelain teacup, and drank tea leisurely.
Chu Qianling clutched the handkerchief in her hand, stared at Chu Qianchen with burning eyes, and asked, "Where is the Perfect Cream?"
Chu Qianling's heartbeat quickened: the Shiquan ointment was her last hope.
It seems that the third lady is not here to cause trouble, but to ask for help. The little maid first breathed a sigh of relief, then pouted her lips, and in her heart she disapproved of Chu Qianling's high attitude.
Chu Qianchen still didn't say anything and drank his tea slowly.
If it wasn't for the Ten-Perfect Ointment, she wouldn't have come to Wanyan Courtyard even if she had killed Chu Qianling. She originally wanted to take the ointment and leave quickly, but she didn't expect Chu Qianchen to completely ignore her.
"Chu Qianchen, you're not going to go back on your word!" Chu Qianling said angrily.
Amber smiled and said, "Third Miss, even I know that you should have a proper attitude when asking for help. If someone doesn't know, they would think you are here to seek revenge!"
Bitch! Chu Qianling was annoyed, angry and resentful, but now Chu Qianchen had grasped her weakness, and she was afraid that Chu Qianchen would go crazy and smash the Shiquan ointment again. Then she would have offended Chu Qianhuang for nothing in Yunting Pavilion, and lost both her wife and her army!
Just be patient for a while.
Chu Qianling said to herself in her heart, lowered her posture, and said in a gentle voice: "Chu... Second Sister, I can help you!"
"You don't like Chu Qianhuang either, right?"
"I can help you deal with her. The more the aunt hates her, the more she will like you."
Chu Qianling talked a lot to herself. She judged others by herself and felt that this would definitely convince Chu Qianchen.
After all, Chu Qianchen is just a concubine's daughter. If she wants to learn how to be a housekeeper and find a good marriage, she needs Shen's approval and pleases her to have a good future.
Chu Qianchen is now clinging closely to Shen and Chu Yunmu, mother and son, which clearly reveals her little thoughts.
Yes, everyone in this world seeks to bully the weak.
A hint of sarcasm flashed across Chu Qianling's eyes.
Chu Qianchen put down the teacup, flipped his hand, and the small porcelain jar with white background and blue flowers appeared in his palm. Chu Qianling's eyes suddenly lit up.
She continued in a high-sounding manner: "Second sister, if it weren't for the eldest sister instigating me, I wouldn't have thought of dancing with you with swords..."
"She had evil intentions, and I fell into her trap."
"I have seen her true colors. I will never let her sow discord between us sisters again."
"Give it to her." Chu Qianchen gave the small porcelain jar to Amber.
Amber was about to present it to Chu Qianling, but Chu Qianling jumped up like a hungry wolf and snatched the small porcelain jar away.
As soon as Chu Qianling got it, she opened the small porcelain jar eagerly, and a somewhat familiar fragrance wafted into her nose.
It’s the perfect ointment!
Her eyes were shining brightly, but the next moment, the smile on her lips froze again.
Chu Qianling's complexion became visibly darker, as if a dark cloud was covering her head, and her whole body was shaking uncontrollably.
It's anger, and even more hatred.
"..." Chu Qianling almost exploded again, but fortunately her maid quietly pulled her sleeve.
Chu Qianling finally suppressed the anger that was about to burst out, gritted her teeth and said, "Second sister, this ointment is too little."
Such a small amount of Shiquan ointment would not last for more than a few days. As far as she knew, it took a whole month to cure the face of the customer Zhiyan from Hui'an County.
At this moment, Chu Qianling was like a string that was stretched so tight that it was about to break. On the contrary, Chu Qianchen was calm and composed, as if he was surrounded by mountains and rivers, with a sense of indifference like a free cloud or wild crane.
Chu Qianchen said: "These medicines are enough for you to use for three to five days."
"I have to keep some for backup so that you don't accidentally hurt my face next time."
She smiled sweetly, her bright phoenix eyes looking directly into Chu Qianling's. She was calm and composed, with a hint of indifference in her beauty.
6◇9◇Book◇Bar
The wind blew outside the window, and her black hair brushed her cheeks. The girl had fair skin and beautiful looks, and her appearance was stunning.
Chu Qianling didn't believe it at all.
But as Amber said just now, now she needs the help of Chu Qianchen, she needs the Perfect Cream.
Chu Qianling didn't dare to lose her temper in front of Chu Qianchen. She held her breath, her chest rising and falling slightly.
She could only hold the small porcelain jar tightly in her hand, as if she was afraid that Chu Qianchen would come to snatch it away.
With her level of skill, she naturally couldn't hide her thoughts.
In fact, no matter how well Chu Qianling concealed it, Chu Qianchen would not be fooled by her. As for what kind of person Chu Qianling was, she had already seen it clearly in her previous life.
"Do you think I will repay evil with kindness?" Chu Qianchen asked calmly.
The thirteen-year-old her in her previous life might have done so. At that time, she was brought up to be cowardly and incompetent, and she didn't even dare to say the word "no". But she is no longer the same person she was then.
Chu Qianling was choked and her eyes wandered.
At this point, she had no choice but to blame Chu Qianhuang, "Second sister, believe me, it was really my eldest sister who instigated me."
"I...I was instigated by her, which made me act stupid for a moment." Chu Qianling repeated similar words over and over again.
Chu Qianchen smiled without saying anything, picked up the teacup again, and elegantly used the tea lid to brush away the floating leaves on the tea soup, with the corners of his lips curled up in a smile.
She said nothing, yet it seemed as if she had said everything.
Chu Qianling could understand what Chu Qianchen meant.
Chu Qianhuang is the eldest daughter of a marquisate, and Chu Qianchen is just a concubine's daughter. Why would Chu Qianhuang target her?
It's totally harmful to others and not beneficial to yourself.
Not to mention that Chu Qianchen didn't believe it, even Chu Qianling was puzzled.
"Everything I said is true." Chu Qianling's thoughts became more and more confused, and she was almost incoherent. The deep feeling of powerlessness surged up again, making her think of the day when her face was scratched.
No matter how she testified against Chu Qianchen, Gu Nanzhao didn't believe her.
Whether it is Chu Qianchen or Chu Qianhuang, these two people are not as simple as they appear.
They... they are like poisonous snakes, hiding in dark corners, and you never know when they will bite you!
Chu Qianling felt like she was going crazy.
Now she would even kneel down and beg Chu Qianchen, as long as she could get the Ten-Perfect Cream.
However, Chu Qianchen was too lazy to pay attention to Chu Qianling and ordered in front of her: "Amber, see the guest off for me."
Chu Qianchen directly ordered them to leave, as she still had to prepare pills for the prince.
"..." Chu Qianling's face turned blue to white, then white to purple, then purple to black, and the colors changed wonderfully.
Amber smiled slightly and held out her hand as if to invite him in. "Third Miss, please."
Chu Qianling's face became even uglier, but she didn't dare to say anything more. She held the small porcelain jar tightly and finally left.
It’s better to have it than not to have it. Let’s use it for a few days first!
Chu Qianchen returned to his small study, washed his hands again, and began to process the medicinal materials.
After Amber came back from seeing off the guests, she started to help Chu Qianchen. She was also very familiar with some of the preparations for the Jiuxu Ointment.
As for the pills for Gu Jue, Chu Qianchen did it all himself, starting from crushing the herbs...
The steps of making medicinal materials are actually extremely monotonous, but for Chu Qianchen, it can calm his mind.
Everything that happened in the past three months flashed through her mind quickly, including the words and deeds Chu Qianhuang had said, as well as the weirdness and incongruity that occasionally flashed through her mind...
She also wanted to know why Chu Qianhuang targeted her and even went so far as to instigate Chu Qianling to destroy her appearance.
She had pressed Chu Qianling several times, but she couldn't answer. It was obvious that she couldn't get an answer from her, but Chu Qianling had no choice because there was still Liu.
As a concubine's daughter, she had no connections in the Marquis's Mansion, so she had to ask someone to "do it for her".
Chu Qianchen raised the corners of his lips, looking contented.
The only sounds in the small study were the faint grinding sounds and the occasional rustling sounds.
Night is gradually falling.
The prince's business is the most important! Chu Qianchen would forget to eat and sleep when she was busy. Fortunately, Amber took care of the chores for her, so she ignored everything else, even the school's household affairs, and didn't care at all that people in the Marquis' Mansion said that she worked for three days and slacked off for two days.
These sour words didn't even reach Chu Qianchen's ears. For several days, she stayed at home except for visiting her parents in the morning and evening.
Until Chu Qianling, who had used up the Shiquan ointment, came again. This time, Chu Qianchen didn't even meet her and let Amber send her away.
"Third Miss, my daughter is busy, please go back."
Amber was telling the truth, but to Chu Qianling, she felt that Chu Qianchen was just putting on airs and trying to show off.
"What did you say?!" Chu Qianling said harshly, scaring the two little maids in Wanyan Courtyard so much that they shrank their necks.
Amber repeated it word for word.
Chu Qianling felt unhappy and instinctively wanted to force her way in, but as soon as she took a step, she retracted it... After all, she didn't dare to force her way in, for fear of really provoking Chu Qianchen.
The two maids behind Amber also noticed Chu Qianling's concerns, and sighed in their hearts: The third young lady has always been spoiled, and now she is afraid of the second young lady.
Chu Qianling took a deep breath, calmed herself down, and squeezed out a voice from between her teeth with difficulty: "Humber, go tell your daughter that I have something to talk to her about."
Amber looked at her quietly, without saying a word or moving, which was tantamount to a silent rejection.
It's true that there is a master and there is a servant! Chu Qianling glared at Humber hatefully and left with a heavy sigh.
The two maids she brought with her hurriedly followed, and Wanyan Courtyard returned to peace.
Chu Qianling went to Liu's Qilan Courtyard in a rage. Along the way, the servants could see that she was in a bad mood and they all tried to avoid her.
"Mom, Chu Qianchen refuses to see me." Chu Qianling complained to Liu aggrievedly.
She was running low on the amount of the Perfect Cream she had, and the porcelain jar was about to be empty, and her face...
Liu frowned and soothed her, "Lingjie, don't worry. I'll go talk to her in person and then ask your aunt to take care of their eldest daughter..."
Liu was about to stand up, but Chu Qianling quickly pulled her back: "Mom, don't!"
Chu Qianling was anxious and annoyed, stamping her feet and said, "Mom, please stop meddling in other people's business! What if Chu Qianchen smashes the Perfect Cream again?!"
Tears welled up in the corners of Chu Qianling's eyes. She looked pitiful and at a loss.
"Lingjie, don't worry. Mother will listen to you." Liu felt very distressed and could only coax her daughter with soft words.
How could she not be anxious! Chu Qianling raised her hand and touched her cheek behind the veil. She could feel the slightly raised scar under her fingertips.
There was too little Shiquan ointment. If she applied it on the entire scar, it would not last for two days. So she tried applying it on the end of the scar first. After just four days, the originally raised scar became flatter. Liu and the head maid also said that the scar looked much better.
The past three months have been so long and torturous for Chu Qianling. She has been disappointed time and time again. She dared not go out, let alone look in the mirror. It was not until now that she saw hope.
The effect of Shiquan Cream is amazing. As long as she can apply it for a month like Gu Zhiyan, her face will be completely healed!
Thinking of the jar of Shiquan ointment that was smashed by Chu Qianchen, Chu Qianling's heart began to ache again, as if it was being pricked by tens of thousands of needles.
If the whole bottle of the ointment had been given to her, her face would have been restored to its original state by now.
Chu Qianling grabbed Liu's wrist even harder and said in panic, "Mom, please don't provoke Chu Qianchen. If she gets angry and smashes the bottle in her hand, I don't know if there will be any more in the future."
"My face depends entirely on this ointment."
Chu Qianling's eyes were filled with an unusually bright and persistent look. She had already regarded the Shiquan Ointment as her life-saving elixir.
Liu felt very distressed when she saw her daughter like this, and continued to coax her daughter: "Lingjie, don't worry, I will listen to you."
Liu was extremely angry with Chu Qianchen. It was obvious that she was hanging them by a thread and making fun of them, mother and daughter.
But Chu Qianchen happened to have the Perfect Cream in her hands. They were afraid that she would smash the cream, and they were also afraid that she would tamper with the cream, so they had to be cautious.
Liu pulled Chu Qianling to sit on the Arhat bed.
Chu Qianling rubbed her handkerchief angrily, muttering to herself, "It's obviously all Chu Qianhuang's fault, but Chu Qianchen doesn't believe it. He insists that Chu Qianhuang is the eldest daughter and it's impossible to deal with her..."
"I have thought about it over and over again many times. Chu Qianhuang definitely doesn't like Chu Qianchen. A few days ago, she was deliberately trying to sow discord between Chu Qianchen and Chu Yunyi in Yunting Pavilion."
"I see that she just can't stand seeing Chu Qianchen getting better."
Chu Qianling chattered on and on.
"Mom, I have to let Chu Qianchen know that it's not me who wants to harm her." Chu Qianling became more and more confused and anxious as she spoke, "Otherwise, she will definitely not give me the Ten Perfection Cream again.
"It's obvious that Chu Qianhuang did something sinister. If she wants to hate Chu Qianhuang, then go ahead and hate her. What does it have to do with me?"
"But Chu Qianchen just doesn't believe it!"
Liu's eyes were deep.
Yes. Not to mention Chu Qianchen didn't believe it, if his daughter hadn't said it herself, even he wouldn't believe it.
Now Chu Qianchen keeps pestering Shen for favors. She wants a share of everything Chu Qianhuang has. It's understandable that Chu Qianhuang hates her, but in the past, Chu Qianchen clearly looked the weakest and most obedient.
What reason does Chu Qianhuang have to deal with her?
During the double period, continue to ask for monthly tickets~~
