The woman nodded, smiled slightly, and said, "Yes, it's that simple." She didn't need Xie Ruzhuo to be seriously injured. After all, if a woman's face is disfigured, then unless she marries a trafficker, she will never be able to find fault in the marriage!
Aunt Fu didn't know what she was planning. She opened her mouth, and when she was about to speak, she nodded again, "Don't worry, I will definitely do it!"
"Okay, this is the antidote. You take it once a day. After three days, the symptoms on your face will disappear. Go ahead."
Aunt Fu took the antidote, thanked her profusely, and left the room happily.
After the person left, the woman lifted up the black gauze on her face. It was none other than the eldest lady of the Shen family—Shen Jingci!
She walked to the window, looked at Aunt Fu's back leaving in the snow, and slowly sneered. Her subordinates, Shen Jingci, would never tolerate such useless people. This Fu Qian'er was really naive and ridiculous. Did she really think that the Broken Heart Grass would be able to save her? However, even if she is regarded as an abandoned son, Fu Qian'er must exert her final effectiveness to herself before she dies!
A man pushed open the door and walked in, hugged her and said with a smile, "Are you sure it's really okay this time?"
Shen Jingci did not resist the man's enthusiasm, she just chuckled and said, "Don't worry, this woman can do anything. When the time comes when Xie Ruzhuo's face is disfigured, what's the difference between that and being ruined? With your second prince's reputation You can’t even subdue a disfigured girl with your methods, right?”
Hearing this, Xiao Junhan immediately laughed, and while squeezing Shen Jingci's soft hand, she said with an evil smile, "I said I can't underestimate you. You really have the most poisonous heart of a woman."
"Then the second prince, please be careful, don't let a vicious woman like me harm you!" Shen Jingci felt a little uncomfortable from being kneaded by him, so she simply left his arms and said in a dumb voice.
Xiao Junhan was about to get closer, but was stopped by Shen Jingci. At least for now, she had to stick to her final bottom line and not let Xiao Junhan succeed. After all, the man who wants to sleep with her, Shen Jingci, must be the most powerful person in the country!
Seeing her like this, Xiao Junhan was a little disappointed, and then asked about other things, "Have you arranged that matter properly?"
Shen Jingci naturally knew what he was talking about, so she nodded and said, "Don't worry, everything is ready, all we need is the east wind."
She was born like an iceberg beauty, and the look on her face that she was determined to win now added a bit of charm to her beauty. Xiao Junhan liked her look like this the most. He immediately held her in his arms again and said softly, "Then I'll wait to see you shine at the daughter's banquet!"
Aunt Fu made a plan on her way back. When she got home, she couldn't wait to lock everyone out, poured a glass of water, and drank all the pills in the pack.
Then, she gasped and tentatively touched her face. Perhaps it was an illusion, but she really felt that the itchy and painful feeling on her face had subsided a lot.
Aunt Fu stood there for a long time and began to rummage through the boxes and cabinets again to find something. After finding the yellowish prescription, he evoked a vicious smile.
Anyway, the antidote is in her hands, so she no longer has to look at that yellow-haired girl's face to act! She said she wanted to shave Xie Ruzhuo's face herself, so she would do it more thoroughly!
Xie Ruzhuo, since you are as ignorant as your short-lived mother, then go down and keep your short-lived mother company! Aren't you biological mother and daughter? Then I will let you die in exactly the same way, which can be regarded as my last kindness to you!
The rich ladies, the legitimate daughters of wealthy families, in the end, all died at the hands of a little maid like me!
When she thought of this, Aunt Fu's face suddenly twisted with pleasure, she clutched the prescription tightly and smiled wildly.
It will be the twelfth lunar month in a few days, and the weather will get colder and colder. It has been cloudy for a few days in the past few days, but today there is a rare bright sun. Just as Xie Ruzhuo was about to pay his respects to Mr. Ji, he saw maid Xia He running over in a panic, as if she had something to say.
When Xie Ruzhuo saw this, he immediately retreated, leaving only two maids beside him.
The wind blew by, bringing with it a chill. Xie Ruzhuo wrapped his cloak tightly around his body and listened to Xia He's report. He was silent for a while and then said, "Go back. No matter what your aunt says or does, you just do it. When the time comes, I will have my own way to protect you."
Xia He was stunned when he heard this, raised his head, and said worriedly, "But, aunt..."
"I know, just do as you are told." Xie Ruzhuo smiled softly, walked over to help Xia He up, and said, "You are a good girl. When this matter is over, I will tell mother to let you come to my yard. I'm here to serve as an errand. Okay, let's go back first."
Hearing this, Xia He's face looked a little happy, but then he calmed down and said solemnly, "I thank the Fourth Miss."
Seeing Xia He left, Qian Bi suddenly frowned and said, "Miss, what should we do now?"
Xie Ruzhuo looked at Xia He's retreating back and said slowly, "As she wishes." Since Fu Qian'er wants to poison herself to death, she will help Fu Qian'er! However, it depends on whether she has this ability!
Seeing her confident look, Qianbi felt something was wrong in her heart, but she also knew that she couldn't persuade the young lady, so she changed the subject and asked, "Then let's go and pay our respects to the old lady?"
"Please, how can I not please." Xie Ruzhuo said, and then he snuggled Tang Pozi into the palm of his hand, and then said, "Let's go."
The Zizhu Courtyard was quite lively, and before I even entered the door, I could hear bursts of laughter inside.
Xie Ruzhuo evoked a smile, raised the curtain and entered the door, "I heard grandma laughing happily before I came in, but if something good happens, Zhuo'er also wants to hear it."
Seeing Xie Ruzhuo coming over, Ji quickly waved and said, "I was just wondering why you, a greedy little cat, haven't come yet, and sure enough, here you are. What do you think this is?"
Xie Ruzhuo then saw that Ji was holding a cat in his arms. It was only as big as a palm, and the snow-white ball was really cute. The cat was very obedient, licking the palm of Ji's hand from time to time. The soft touch made Ji's heart almost melt.
"Oh, what a cute little guy, grandma, when did you get such a treasure here?" Xie Ruzhuo liked it very much and immediately went over to tease her.
Before Ms. Ji could say anything, Mrs. Lu immediately took credit and said, "What kind of treasure is this? It was just your third sister who saw how cute it was and asked for it to relieve your grandma's boredom."
Xie Rulan also smiled and said, "Making grandma happy is what us juniors should do."
Ji felt relieved, looked at her two granddaughters with a smile, and said, "You girls, you all know that you are thinking about me, an old woman."
"If Yong'an heard what grandma said, he would definitely say that you are partial." Hearing this, Xie Ruzhuo suddenly laughed jokingly.
Thinking of that little baby, Ji smiled even more happily, "No, it's a good thing he's not here."
The cat in my arms meowed as if to respond to the situation, and its little tongue stretched and retracted to lick the food on the side. Xie Ruzhuo laughed along with everyone, but suddenly he got into trouble.
"Grandma, look at my memory. I wanted to eat calla lily cake last night, and I specifically ordered it to be made this morning. As a result, I came to your place to eat again. Otherwise, I would have asked them to bring the cake over. I can give it to grandma to try." Xie Ruzhuo said as he asked the maid to go to the big kitchen to bring it.
Ji nodded her forehead and said with a smile, "You are quite clever. If you don't want to part with grandma's food, just say so."
"I also want to eat the pastries that the fourth sister mentioned. Grandma, can I stay and have dinner with you?" If eating with Ji can please her, then Xie Rulan really doesn't mind doing it. After all, she has seen through it all. As long as she can coax this old woman, it will definitely benefit her a lot in the future!
Seeing that her grandchildren were willing to surround her, Ji smiled even more happily and said, "You have learned from your fourth sister, that's it, just stay here."
Not long after, Qian Bi brought the cakes over and said with a smile, "It's a coincidence that I went there. The kitchen has just finished cooking and the cakes are still warm."
Hearing this, Xie Ruzhuo immediately pinched a piece, put it to his nose, smelled it, and said, "It smells so good." After receiving Qianbi's look in his eyes, Xie Ruzhuo put down the cake he wanted to eat and looked at Ji's arms. The little kitten said with a smile, "Little guy, do you want to eat too?"
Everyone looked around and saw the little kitten staring longingly at the cake in Xie Ruzhuo's hand.
Ji immediately laughed and said, "What a good thing, I have so many greedy cats here."
Xie Ruzhuo took the kitten over, smoothed its fur, and said with a smile, "We are greedy cats. Not only that, we also eat up the delicious food here, don't you think so?"
Ji was so amused by her words that she almost burst into tears, and called Xie Ruzhuo out of spite. Seeing this, Jin Yu on the side also joked, "Fourth Miss, with you here, our Zizhu Courtyard is filled with laughter. Sure enough, it is true to say that girls are considerate."
When Ji heard this, she immediately pointed at her and said with a smile, "This monkey is not a pistachio, she is a glutton!"
Xie Ruzhuo let them joke around with a smile on her face, but in her heart it felt like someone was pinching her throat, making her unable to breathe. She spread the pastries on the palm of her hand and watched the cat in her arms eat them all bit by bit, and the pain in her heart grew more and more.
Cat, I'm sorry, in order to save myself, I had to sacrifice you. If you have a spirit in heaven, I don’t ask for your forgiveness. I just ask that you can retaliate against me later, and when I have fully avenged all my great vengeance, I will definitely atone for your sins and those who have been harmed by my means!
It wasn't until a trace of blood slowly overflowed from the corner of the cat's mouth that Xie Ruzhuo changed the smile on his face to a terrified scream, "Ah—"
Ji was smiling happily, and when he saw her like this, he looked over in shock, only to see that the cat in Xie Ruzhuo's hand was like a torn blood bag, bleeding everywhere. Xie Ruzhuo, on the other hand, was already dumbfounded.
Mrs. Lu was startled by Xie Ruzhuo's cry. Just as she was about to speak, she was stunned by the sight in front of her, and then she became full of fear. The cat just ate the pastry and died suddenly. It was obvious that there was something wrong with the pastry! And her daughter just said she wanted to eat together! fortunately!
The fear in Mrs. Lu's heart condensed to a point, and she immediately roared, "What's going on!"
Also speaking with her was Ji, "Go and call the people from the kitchen, no, tie them up!" As she spoke, Ji took Xie Ruzhuo, who seemed to be frightened, into her arms and hugged her. He looked at her and said, "Good boy, don't be afraid, grandma is here."
Xie Ruzhuo felt Ji's warm embrace and couldn't help but burst into tears. Yes, she is a child and she has the right to be afraid. However, she cried even more for the cat. In order to deal with these beast-like things, she finally had to be like those people and become worse than a beast!
