Mrs. Huo's face was scratched. When the doctor came to see her, he felt that the injury on Mrs. Huo's face would not be easy to recover.
"Some wounds are quite deep," the doctor said. "Even if you use scar cream, it won't necessarily eliminate scars."
"Doctor." Mrs. Huo opened her eyes wide. Is her face going to be disfigured?
Mrs. Huo thought of Liu Yulian's husband in her previous life. That general had a long scar on his face, and many people thought he was ugly. Mrs. Huo also thought he was ugly, and she thought Liu Yulian was just greedy for his money.
If she becomes ugly, how will she live in the future?
Mrs. Huo was worried about her future. Without her pretty face, how could she get those men to do more work for her? If her face was ruined, would those men mock her?
When they were in the capital, Mrs. Huo had already mentioned that the general had a scar on his face. She wanted everyone to think that Liu Yulian was a person who despised the poor and loved the rich.
For the sake of money, Liu Yulian doesn't care whether the man is ugly or not.
"No, it must recover and no scars can be left." said Mrs. Huo.
"Sui Xin Shop has a very effective scar removal cream. It costs over ten taels of silver," the doctor said. "One bottle might not be enough. You'll need a few more."
Scar creams like these are mainly used by people with severe scars, and are also used by the wealthy. Of course, there are also scar creams for the masses, which are also quite effective and cost tens or even hundreds of wen a bottle.
That kind of scar removal cream is mainly for those with less severe scars, but it is enough. Under normal circumstances, ordinary people would not be left with such severe scars.
For someone like Da Huo who has scars on his face and whose condition is quite serious, the doctor still thinks it would be better for him to use a more expensive scar removal cream.
That's the face, and the face is the most important thing.
"Get out! You are all in cahoots with Liu Yulian." When Mrs. Huo heard about Sui Xin Pu, she thought that the people who beat her and the doctor must have been sent by Liu Yulian.
Liu Yulian must have discovered that Da Huo was writing a letter to He Xiyuan, so she wanted to take revenge on her. She couldn't let Liu Yulian succeed in her plot. If she went to Suixin Shop to buy scar cream, it might not work at all and would only leave scars on her face.
No, no, she couldn't let herself have a scar on her face.
"Get out, all of you." Mrs. Huo was nervous.
Mrs. Huo wanted to find another doctor, but she also remembered that Liu Yulian had been here for so long, and those people had built the Rongning Temple. Everyone here must be Liu Yulian's, right? Mrs. Huo thought about leaving on her own, because those people always criticized her and praised Liu Yulian.
Liu Yulian is not a good person at all. Why do those people praise her so much?
Mrs. Huo reached out and touched her face. Her face hurt. What should she do? Everyone here listened to Liu Yulian. She had to go somewhere to find a reliable doctor.
Seeing Mrs. Huo like this, the doctor had no choice but to leave. He really didn't collude with anyone, but Suixin Shop did have a very good scar removal cream, which was developed by Princess Rongning.
Maybe he shouldn't have said Sui Xin Pu Zi?
The doctor couldn't help but think of the rumors he had heard before. It was said that Da Huo was originally the sister-in-law of Princess Rongning. Da Huo and Princess Rongning's eldest brother divorced. Da Huo was so miserable, perhaps Da Huo thought that Liu Yulian was plotting against them.
Regular pharmacies also have scar removal creams. Some pharmacies sell scar removal creams from Suixin Shop, while others research them. Some pharmacies already have a scar removal cream recipe and then research and upgrade it.
The village head's wife was not willing to get involved in this matter, but the eldest Mrs. Huo was in the village.
"You've driven the doctor away, so what are you going to do?" asked the village head's wife. "Where are you going to find a doctor, or are you going to go find one yourself?"
The village head's wife thought the Huo family was just looking for trouble, and this person just thought Princess Rongning was going to deal with her. Princess Rongning was in the capital, not in the northwest, so why would she keep thinking about dealing with the Huo family?
"You can't let the wound on your face go untreated," the village head's wife said. "Don't blame others. If you hadn't done something terrible yourself, you wouldn't be in this situation today."
Even if Mrs. Huo complained to the government, it would be useless. The village head's wife believed that Mrs. Huo would not dare to do so. Mrs. Huo still had some dignity to save. Most importantly, Mrs. Huo must have believed that the government was on Princess Rongning's side and that she would murder anyone she saw.
The village head's wife didn't know how Da Huo became like this. She could only say that Da Huo had done a lot of bad things.
However, Da Huo still refused to believe the village head's wife and did not dare to ask her to call a doctor. She was afraid that if they were to destroy her face now, it must be related to what they had told her about General Scar. Later, Liu Yulian might even want her life.
When the village head's wife came out of Da Huo's house, she met Widow Zhang and said a few words to her.
"She thinks we are all going to harm her for Princess Rongning," said the village chief's wife.
"I think she did something to hurt Princess Rongning, and that's why she's afraid of retaliation," Widow Zhang said. "Let her do whatever she wants. If she doesn't want to see a doctor, then don't see one."
"That's exactly what happened." The village head's wife said helplessly, "This won't work, and that won't work. We're not her servants."
The village head's wife couldn't just keep watching over Da Huo. Da Huo could do whatever she wanted. She didn't go to the fourth branch of the Liu family to tell them about this. Da Huo was no longer a member of the Liu family, so it wouldn't be appropriate for them to go to the fourth branch.
Liu Yanqing knew everything about the Da Huo family without the village head's wife telling him.
"She deserves it." Liu Yanqing was in his own yard. He didn't run to Mrs. Huo. "She flirted with other men on her own, so she can't blame anyone else."
"Her face..." Lin Xiaowan sighed at the thought, "Is she still unwilling to see a doctor?"
"Don't worry about her. Whether she sees a doctor or not is her business. If she gets a scar on her face, it's nobody else's fault." Liu Yanqing said, "She's thinking we're going to harm her now. Who knows what she did in the capital that would make her so frightened."
Liu Yanqing didn't know the details, but he thought that Da Huo must have done a lot of things to offend Liu Yulian. This is why Da Huo was so scared, and he thought that everyone here was Liu Yulian's people.
"If she has a scar on her face, she will be able to live in peace in the future," said Lin Xiaowan.
"Not necessarily." Liu Yanqing said, "She is still a woman."
There were men who wanted Da Huo even though she had scars on her face, but they didn't marry her.
"She was a good daughter of the Bo family, but now she's in such a mess. Who can I blame?" Lin Xiaowan said, "She's like this... let her be."
Lin Xiaowan thought that if it were her, she would either not divorce her husband, or she would not look back after the divorce and live a peaceful life. But Da Huo was the type who was unwilling to give up, and she never lived a peaceful life.
Mrs. Huo still had some money, so she didn't go to Suixin to buy scar cream. She went to another pharmacy to buy scar cream. She had to buy scar cream because she was afraid of getting scars on her face.
In the capital, Liu Yulian's coming-of-age ceremony was approaching. Because the emperor had passed away this year, the ceremonies for the girls were kept simple.
The Marquis of Jingning's Mansion had no plans to hold a grand ceremony for Liu Yulian's coming-of-age ceremony, so they should keep a low profile.
Princess Zhaoyang had already arranged for someone to make new clothes for Liu Yulian and also arranged other things.
"Are there any friends you want to invite?" asked Princess Zhaoyang.
"Friends?" Liu Yulian suddenly realized that she didn't know many people, mainly those she had known before. After the Liu family was ransacked, they had not had much contact.
Later, after Liu Yulian returned to the capital, she often went to the research institute or did other things. This resulted in Liu Yulian not having that many friends. She had no close friends, only one or two people with whom she was close.
Although they say they have a close relationship, in reality, they only contact each other once or twice a month.
Liu Yulian was too embarrassed to admit that she had a good relationship with him, but that was normal. Women in ancient times couldn't just go out casually. Liu Yulian figured there wasn't anyone to invite, so apart from her close relatives, she wouldn't invite many others.
"Just two or three people." Liu Yulian said.
"Okay." Princess Zhaoyang said, "I'm afraid I'll have to put you in a difficult position. We won't have a big celebration this year, so please pay more attention."
"Yes." Liu Yulian understood. She hadn't thought about making the coming-of-age ceremony grand. "These are just small things."
"There's only one coming-of-age ceremony in a lifetime; it's no small matter," Princess Zhaoyang lamented, "it's just an unfortunate coincidence."
They couldn't let the late emperor die later, and Princess Zhaoyang thought it was a pity.
Liu Yulian also wanted to keep a low profile. Their Jingning Marquis Mansion was no longer the same as before. People from outside built the Rongning Temple for Liu Yulian, and Liu Yulian thought she was being high-profile enough.
The Rongning Temple also prepared some things, which was equivalent to a celebration, similar to a temple fair. Last year, the Rongning Temple held an event on Liu Yulian's birthday. But this year, with the emperor's death, everything was kept simple.
At Duke Chengguo's Mansion, Old Madam He thought that their family should prepare more things.
"What a pity." Old Madam He sighed. Since the emperor passed away this year, it would be difficult for them to let Liu Yulian marry into the family this year. They would have to wait. "We have to wait until next year, but we can start discussing and set a wedding date this year."
"Yes." Lady Chengguo knew Madam He's attitude long ago. Madam He just wanted Liu Yulian to come in sooner rather than later. "The Marquis's Mansion should still want to keep Rong Ning."
"It's definitely right to discuss it first." Madam He said, "It will take quite a while to argue with each other."
"Indeed," said Lady Chengguo. "When the time comes, we'll have to tidy up the courtyard. But they'll probably only stay for a while before moving to the Princess's residence. We've also considered dividing up the family fortune when the time comes."
Lady Chengguo thought that she couldn't let her son go there empty-handed, so she had to let her son take some of the family property with him so that He Xiyuan and Liu Yulian could live a better life.
When Liu Yulian came out of the Marquis of Jingning's Mansion, she brought with her dowry and the royal reward.
"It's different for Yuan'er, you can handle the others as you wish." Old Madam He thought of those illegitimate grandchildren, and she did not say to separate those people from the Duke's Mansion.
Madam He didn't care too much. She was already old and if she intervened too much, those people would be unhappy. Those illegitimate grandchildren would definitely not want to move out so soon. Not to mention the illegitimate grandchildren, there were also those illegitimate brothers of Duke Cheng.
In a big family with many people, things are not that simple.
Princess Rongning's status was different, as she had her own princess's residence. Even though some princesses lived with their husbands in their in-laws' homes, there were also cases where their husbands lived with the princesses in the princess's residence.
Old Madam He thought that Liu Yulian was the director of the research institute after all, and it would not be a good idea to let Liu Yulian stay at home all the time, as the servants still had different attitudes towards their masters.
Liu Yulian has a high status, so it would be better for He Xiyuan and Liu Yulian to live in the princess's mansion.
"There are a lot of things to do here, and you have to arrange them all properly." Madam He said, "It's best if you handle these things yourself. It's difficult for a young daughter-in-law to handle it, but I can assist you."
It wasn't that Madam He looked down on Mrs. Mo, but Mrs. Mo was still young. Dividing the family property wasn't something Mrs. Mo could handle.
"Don't wait until later to think about it, start thinking about it now." Madam He said, "A farm and a shop are both essential, and there are other things that need to be available, too."
When Mrs. Mo came over, she happened to hear Mrs. He's words outside the house. Mrs. Mo didn't think that her family would monopolize everything in the Duke's Mansion. She had long known that the old lady intended to let He Xiyuan and Liu Yulian live outside.
Now that Princess Rongning has her own mansion, things are much simpler. However, the Chengguo Mansion still has to prepare a house for He Xiyuan. They can't not prepare one just because Princess Rongning has a mansion.
Mrs. Mo walked straight in, there was no need to hide.
"Grandma, Mother." Mrs. Mo bowed to the two elders.
"You've arrived just in time." Old Madam He waved towards Madam Mo. "I just got two rolls of satin. I'll give you one so you can make a nice dress."
Madam He was not stingy with Madam Mo, and she would often send her some things. Madam Mo was the wife of the Crown Prince, so of course Madam He would not treat her badly.
"I was just about to say it. I just walked to the door and happened to hear what you said." Mrs. Mo thought that even if she didn't say anything, the old lady would know that she had heard what she said. "Grandma is covering my mouth with satin."
Mo had been in Duke Cheng's mansion for a long time and sometimes she would joke around.
In the northwest, Mrs. Huo had spent a lot of money these days, but she didn't dare go to Suixin Shop to buy scar cream. Not only that, she also didn't dare go to the pharmacy that had some connection with Princess Rongning.
As a result, the pharmacy that Da Huo went to was not that good, and the doctors at the clinic were not that good either. Da Huo also went to different clinics, even if some of them ripped her off, she would still do it.
Mrs. Huo still had some money in her hands, which was given to her by the uncle's family.
This time, Da Huo spent a lot of money, but the wound on her face did not heal. Da Huo looked at herself in the bronze mirror and she was afraid.
Mrs. Huo didn't dare to smash the things in the house. These things belonged to her alone, and no one would buy her anything else. What should she do? The wound on her face hadn't healed yet.
After taking the medicine, Mrs. Huo thought about the noise outside and wondered if someone had put something else in her medicine.
"Go away, don't come over here."
"I am different. God is good to me. It's impossible for me to be like this in my life."
"Don't you all try to hurt me."
…
Mrs. Huo was muttering over there. When she heard the sound of wind outside, she ran out. There was no one else outside, so Mrs. Huo just looked around.
Some people originally thought that Da Huo had no money and that was why she followed those men. But when they found out that Da Huo had so much money to buy medicine, some people actually stole her money.
Mrs. Huo was reborn once. She didn't dare hide the silver casually. She hid some of the silver on her body and buried some of it underground. She also kept some of the silver in the house. When she found that the silver in the house was missing, she screamed.
But the silver is gone, how can it come back?
There were always problems at the Da Huo family, and the village chief was speechless. Since he was a man, it was not easy for him to go there all the time. At most, he would ask his wife to go and take a look.
The village head's wife didn't want to visit Da Huo more often, as she was always startled. When she went over, she saw Da Huo running to the door several times, and she would run out at the slightest noise.
"There's no one outside." said the village chief's wife.
"There are people, they ran away again." Da Huo.
"..." The village head's wife didn't say much. Da Huo must be possessed.
As long as Da Huo is like this, no one needs to do anything, Da Huo will just go crazy.
When many people learned about this incident, they all felt that Mr. Huo deserved it.
Liu Yanqing also thought that the Da Huo family deserved it, and he refused to go to the Da Huo family.
"She wouldn't be like that Cen and set fire to the Rongning Temple, would she?" Liu Yanqing suddenly had this thought.
"It shouldn't happen." Lin Xiaowan said, "It's enough for one person to do such a stupid thing. Why do we need a second person to do it? This person is a little strange. Didn't she marry into the Ouyang family? Why does she still dislike me so much? When she was in the Marquis' Mansion, I avoided her."
Lin Xiaowan still remembered how arrogant and unbridled Mrs. Huo had been in the Marquis's mansion. Liu Yanjing doted on her, and her mother didn't impose many rules on her. Liu Yulian rarely came to see Mrs. Huo. Mrs. Huo had never been embarrassed by anyone. Few daughters-in-law or sisters-in-law had had such an easy life as Mrs. Huo.
"What is there to hate about her?" Lin Xiaowan didn't understand.
"That's simple. My little sister, our father's title has been restored." Liu Yanqing said, "At this time, she had already divorced my eldest brother, and he remarried. She must have been furious. She wanted us to stay in the northwest forever. Now, she came to the northwest on her own."
Lin Xiaowan thought about it and felt that what Liu Yanqing said made sense. "He's really narrow-minded."
"You've told me so many times these days that she's narrow-minded," Liu Yanqing said.
"I'm too lazy to find another word." Lin Xiaowan said, "In a few days, it will be my little sister's birthday, and there will be a temple fair at the Rongning Temple."
Lin Xiaowan thought that the things they sent to the capital were not very good, and they did not send such good things. Lin Xiaowan just hoped that Liu Yulian would not despise those things. Their fourth house accepted many good things sent by the first house.
"If you take your daughter there, you have to be careful and don't let her be taken away by the beggars." Lin Xiaowan said.
"Such a young child..." Liu Yanqing thought that such a young child should not be like this, he should be at least a few years older.
"It's possible, but it's small." Lin Xiaowan said, "Be more careful."
