Chapter 102 Treatment
"not to mention……"
Shen He's voice was low and cruelly clear.
"With this scar?"
These words were like a basin of ice water, pouring down from above her head, instantly extinguishing the faint hope in Shen Yan's heart!
Shen Yan suddenly raised her head, her eyes wide open under the veil, filled with shock and unconcealable pain!
His face instantly turned as pale as paper!
She subconsciously reached out and covered her left cheek, where the scalding tea had disfigured her. It was as if Shen He's gaze could really burn through her veil, bringing her stinging pain.
Chen He looked at her terrified and injured appearance, and his heart felt cold.
In the previous life, it was this Shan Yi Niang who showed "kindness" everywhere. After Lin Yiang thanked her profusely, she decided to marry Chen Yan to a local wealthy businessman who was over 60 years old and had lost three wives, as a concubine.
Under the pretext of finding a "good home" for Lin's daughter in consideration of her many years of service, the couple would find a "good home" for her daughter, so that this disfigured daughter would not be ignored in the future.
Aunt Lin, that stupid girl, actually dragged Chen Yan to kowtow to Shan Zhuyu to express her gratitude, thinking that her daughter would have someone to rely on from now on.
But what is the result?
Less than a year after Chen Yan got married, she was targeted by the wealthy family's grown-up children and the powerful housekeeper's wife. In the end, she died quietly in a not-so-small "accident".
The so-called "better" was nothing more than another carefully packaged hell casually arranged by Shan Zhuyu and her daughter! How could they tolerate any daughter in the mansion living a more comfortable life than Chen Jiao?
The candlelight in the ancestral hall flickered, illuminating Chen He's calm profile.
She withdrew her sharp gaze that seemed to be able to see through people's hearts, and her voice slowed down a little, carrying a strange and irresistible temptation.
"Third sister."
Shen He spoke slowly, breaking the suffocating silence.
"Do you want to..."
Her voice was soft, but it reached Shen Yan's ears clearly.
"Heal your face?"
Under the veil, a glimmer of light suddenly burst out in Shen Yan's eyes!
Like a spark that suddenly appears in the darkness!
But the light only flashed for a moment and then quickly dimmed.
It was so fast that it seemed like it never happened.
She lowered her head again, her voice filled with bitterness and almost inaudible self-mockery.
"Eldest sister..."
"Don't...don't joke around."
Her fingers unconsciously stroked the veil on the left side of her face.
"My face... I know it well... The imperial physician said..."
The voice was choked with despair.
Shen He's voice was cold and hard as iron without any ripples.
"I never joke."
Her gaze was sharp, as if it could penetrate the veil and reach the deepest desire in Shen Yan's heart.
"Just say you want to."
"I still don't want to."
There was no comfort, no sympathy, only the most direct questioning.
Chen Yan's shoulders trembled almost imperceptibly.
Her fingers were tightly gripping the laces of her skirt, her knuckles turning white.
The air seemed to freeze.
The candlelight flickered, illuminating her struggling silhouette.
a long time.
It was so long that Shen He thought she would not answer.
She almost squeezed out two words from between her teeth, light and airy, yet weighing a thousand pounds.
"……think."
Who doesn’t want that?
Which woman doesn’t cherish her appearance?
Which woman would like to wear a veil all day and endure the strange looks and whispers of others?
Chen He's tone finally softened a little, with a barely perceptible warmth.
Chen He knew Chu Yue's medical skills and had asked Chu Yue about it before. Chu Yue had said that she was not completely sure, but she could definitely cure it.
So Shen He continued, his voice steady and with a convincing power.
"I can't guarantee that I can make you fully recovered. After all, you were seriously injured and missed the best opportunity."
"But at least,"
Chen He looked at her, enunciating each word clearly.
"So that when you go out in the future, you don't have to wear this annoying veil to cover yourself up."
No more veils!
These four words, like a thunderclap, split the heavy haze in Shen Yan's heart!
She suddenly raised her head!
This time, the eyes beneath the veil were filled with uncontrollable shock and ecstasy!
"Really...really?"
Her voice was trembling, holding a cautious, broken hope.
As if afraid that this is just a fragile dream.
Shen He nodded, but his expression became solemn and serious again.
"Of course it's true."
"but……"
As soon as she changed the subject, the warmth that had just risen in the ancestral hall cooled down in an instant.
"Third sister, you need to know."
"I'll help you fulfill your wish."
Shen He's gaze fell on Shen Yan's face, which had turned pale with nervousness.
"You also need to... do something for me."
Shen Yan's heart suddenly rose to her throat!
She knew that her elder sister would never help her for no reason.
She looked at Shen He nervously, her hands clasped together.
"Eldest sister...would...want me to do what?"
Her voice was filled with a hint of uneasiness and anxiety.
Chen He's gaze was as calm as the depths of an ancient well, without a single ripple.
"Chen Jiao is now pregnant."
This news was like thunder from the blue sky, causing Shen Yan to open her eyes slightly wide! Second sister...
"Your Majesty... probably hasn't yet decided how to deal with her and the evil offspring in her womb."
"So, I dared not make it public, and even more so, I dared not let the palace servants serve me closely, lest the news leak out."
She looked at Shen Yan with a scrutinizing look in her eyes.
"Right now, she's in need of someone who knows her well and can keep her mouth shut."
Chen He's tone was calm, but it carried an unquestionable command.
"you go."
"Go to her and take good care of her."
Shen Yan's face instantly turned even paler! She was even more shocked than when she heard that her face could be cured!
Go take care of Chen Jiao? !
The second sister who had bullied her since she was a child, treated her like dirt, and would beat and scold her at any moment? !
That's simply... a sheep walking into a tiger's mouth!
Chen He seemed to see through her thoughts and continued in a cold voice:
"During this period, given Chen Jiao's current situation and her temperament, she must be restless and irritable."
"She will definitely vent all her resentment on you."
"No matter what she did to you, no matter what nasty words she said, even... beating and scolding..."
A faint cold light flashed in Chen He's eyes, so fast that it was impossible to catch it.
"You have to endure it."
"Stay by her side every step of the way, gain her trust, and let her rely on you."
This... this is simply going to kill her!
Shen Yan subconsciously took a small step back, her eyes filled with fear and resistance.
"W-why?"
Her voice was trembling and unintelligible.
"Eldest sister... why do you want me to suffer this? Second sister..."
She can't beat her second sister at all!
Shen He didn't answer immediately.
She took a step forward, leaned over slightly, and leaned close to Shen Yan's ear.
A cool breath brushed against Shen Yan’s ear.
The candlelight in the ancestral hall flickered and the light and shadows swayed.
All they heard was Chen He speaking a few words quickly in a very low and soft voice that only the two of them could hear.
The sound was very soft, but it was like a poisoned dagger that pierced Chen Yan's heart accurately!
