Revenge of the First Daughter - Chapter 287
Chapter 287 Whose Responsibility
“Creak!” The door opened.
Yun Xiao shone with the light from outside, and she could take a closer look at everything in the room.
In the messy room, there was a piece of broken porcelain. The Treasure Pavilion, which was originally filled to the brim, was now even more empty.
The only intact place in the room was the bed that could be used for sleeping. The dressing table was in a mess, and the copper mirrors were flipped underneath. The jewelry and hairpins on the dressing table were scattered everywhere.
At this moment, Lan Shuya was still maintaining her hand gesture of throwing things, and the pair of pupils embedded in her ferocious face was even flickering with a wisp of green light.
“Yun Xiao, you can’t die so easily! You’re the one who caused me to become like this, you can’t die so easily!”
Hearing this, Yun Xiao’s eyes flashed with a trace of coldness, but she was not angry.
She smiled and looked at the hideous face in the room, “Cousin, what’s wrong with you?”
Lan Shuya listened to the familiar voice coming from the door. Her expression was slightly stunned, and her gaze became a little stagnant. She turned around blankly and saw Yun Xiao looking at her with a smile in her gorgeous clothes.
Her face was exquisite, her hair was combed into a beautiful bun, and she was decorated with a jade hairpin at the top. Before her hair, she was decorated with five pearls the size of a fingernail. She was luxurious, playful, exquisite, and graceful. On the other hand, she wore a white undergarment, her hair was messy, and her face was full of potholes.
Just this comparison alone, he was already being compared by Yun Xiao. His gaze was cold and heavy. His two hands couldn’t help but feel towards his face. He kept muttering, “She can’t see him, she can’t see him.”
After she finished speaking, she screamed, “Ah!” He climbed onto the bed and got into the quilt, refusing to come out.
Yun Xiao frowned, a trace of doubt appearing in her eyes.
Previously, Lan Shuya had only been scratched. Even if she was disfigured, she wouldn’t have been so thoroughly disfigured. At most, she would have left a faint pink mark on her face. But now, Lan Shuya’s face could no longer see the devastating look on her face. What exactly had happened between them?
However, she remembered the news that Lan Shuya had been completely disfigured a few days ago. She only thought that it was someone else’s nonsense. She did not expect that this matter would actually be true.
Yun Xiao’s heart was filled with mixed feelings for a moment. There were regrets, pity, sympathy, and an inexplicable hatred.
What Lan Shuya cared about the most was her appearance. She even looked at her beautiful face. But now, her appearance was completely ruined. Even if she had the good medicine to remove the scar, her face would not be able to regain its former glory.
Without her appearance, Lan Shuya was just a daughter of a concubine, nothing. No wonder she was sent to the Cyan Lamp Ancient Buddha for her entire life.
Although she did not know who had attacked Lan Shuya, she was still slightly grateful in her heart. The current Lan Shuya could only be manipulated.
Qing Mo stepped into the room first and found a wooden stick by the door. He pushed the broken porcelain on the ground in front of him and cleared out a path.
Yun Xiao slowly walked forward and sat down beside the bed. She reached out to touch the person hiding under the quilt and whispered, “Cousin, what happened to you? What happened to your face?”
Speaking of which, Lan Shuya’s body trembled even more.
Lan Shuya suddenly removed the blanket, revealing her terrifying face. She glared fiercely at Yun Xiao. When she saw the sympathy in Yun Xiao’s eyes, she only thought that it was a mockery of herself.
Without the slightest hesitation, she stretched out her hand and fiercely pinched Yun Xiao’s neck. She sternly said, “Yun Xiao, I want to kill you! Kill you!”
Yun Xiao could clearly feel the pain coming from her neck, but the pain only disappeared in an instant.
Qing Mo flew forward and clicked on Lan Shuya’s acupoint, saving Yun Xiao from the shackles.
‘”Yun Xiao, you bitch, let go of me! You actually dared to come and see me! It’s all because of you that I’ve become like this! It’s all because of you! Quickly let go of me!” Lan Shuya’s eyes widened in horror as she realized that she could no longer move her body, and she kept shouting, “Yun Xiao, you bitch, let go of me! You actually dared to come see me! I became like this! It’s all because of you!”
Yun Xiao listened to Lan Shuya’s shouts, but her expression did not change at all. She just allowed Lan Shuya to keep shouting and vent her hatred.
By the time Lan Shuya could not continue cursing, she was already exhausted and panting.
Only then did Yun Xiao instruct Chun Lan, who had been silent, to chuckle and say, “Chun Lan, cousin must be thirsty by now. Go and see if there is any tea in this room and pour a cup for cousin.”
Chun Lan immediately replied respectfully, “Yes, Miss.”
As soon as Chun Lan left, Lan Shuya opened her head and looked at Yun Xiao in disbelief, “You …”
She said one word of yours and was unable to say anything else. She hesitated for a moment to say what she should say.
Even though she was about to kill her just now, she must have heard what she said before, but didn’t she hate her? Don’t you hate yourself?
At this moment, Lan Shuya suddenly remembered that her entire life had been completely destroyed. If she wanted to truly get up and kill all those people who bullied her, she could only rely on Yun Xiao.
She had to rely on the wealth of the Yun Clan and her status as an Emperor Merchant to obtain a good medicine that could reproduce her appearance.
Every year, San Francisco would pay tribute to the Yun Clan for some medicine that could remove the scar and shine on their faces. Those medicines were in short supply in the Imperial Palace. However, even so, because the Yun Clan was an imperial merchant, the Emperor would give a bottle of ointment to the Yun Clan.
In addition, the Yun Clan was currently under Yun Xiao’s control. As long as he could convince Yun Xiao, he would be able to obtain the only bottle of ointment that was in circulation on the market. At that time, even if his appearance could not be restored to its previous state of devastation, it would be enough for him to recover 7.8 points.
Therefore, the top priority now was to get along well with Yun Xiao, not to form enmity with Yun Xiao.
Although Lan Shuya had been tortured to the point of going crazy these past few days, her mind was still there. These schemes had been confirmed by Lan Shuya just by hitting Xuan’er in her mind.
Coincidentally, at this time, Chun Lan had already brought a cup of tea over and said respectfully, “Miss, the tea is here.”
Yun Xiao first glanced at the tea and brought it over. She smiled and said, “Cousin, you must be thirsty. Come and drink some water first.”
After she finished speaking, she put the teacup close to Lan Shuya’s mouth and whispered, “Hurry up and drink. This tea is from your room. You can rest assured.”
Lan Shuya had already made up her mind to have a good relationship with Yun Xiao, so she drank tea obediently.
Moreover, looking at Yun Xiao’s appearance, Lan Shuya remembered that she had always been like this. She could make full use of Yun Xiao, and Yun Xiao still listened to her words like before.
After drinking the tea, Lan Shuya felt that her throat was a little more comfortable. She said guiltily, “Cousin, I’m sorry. I was too impulsive before. I thought … that someone was going to poison me. I lost my mind for a moment.”
Yun Xiao saw that Lan Shuya’s appearance changed in an instant, and Gu Jingwubo’s eyes became a little strange. In an instant, they returned to normal. She whispered, “These days, my cousin has suffered in the Lan Clan. If I had come to the Lan Clan earlier, my cousin would not have been harmed like this. However, what happened to the injuries on my cousin’s face?”
After she finished speaking, she winked at Qing Mo and asked him to unlock the acupoints on Lan Shuya’s body.
Naturally, Qing Mo did not dare to have any other objections. He untied Lan Shuya’s acupoints and watched from the side with a normal expression.
Yun Xiao raised the wound on her face, Lan Shuya couldn’t help but cover her cheeks. Countless hatred burst out from the depths of his eyes. He then carefully concealed it, He said softly, “A few days ago a maidservant said, “My cousin gave me the medicine. I can’t wait to use it. I didn’t expect my face to be like this after using it. So I thought that my cousin gave me the wrong medicine. Today, when I saw my cousin, I knew that someone had framed my cousin. My relationship with my cousin has always been very good. My cousin will definitely not harm me. Today, my cousin came to see me. I believe in my cousin.”
Her words were extremely wronged, but it also explained why she had treated Yun Xiao like that before.
All in all, it’s all about the cause and effect. Since you poisoned me, it’s only natural for me to kill you. Therefore, you can’t hate me. Furthermore, my face has become like this because of you. Therefore, you have the responsibility to treat my face.
Yun Xiao had been with Lan Shuya for more than twenty years in her previous life, and in addition to this life, she had been back and forth for thirty years. Naturally, her uneasy gaze towards Lan Shuya’s movements could also make clear what she was saying.
Lan Shuya sneered in her heart. This Lan Shuya really thought that she was being wronged.
Since that was the case, how could she not play a part with Lan Shuya? Yun Xiao said with a panicked expression, “Cousin is saying that I sent someone to deliver the medicine? Had caused my cousin to become like this? But I never asked the maidservant to deliver the medicine.”
Lan Shuya was a little guilty. Her words were originally meant to push the matter off Yun Xiao’s shoulders, so that Yun Xiao could make up for it out of guilt. Naturally, she could not tell the truth. She had to follow her previous plan and said, “I wronged my cousin. I hope that she would not be angry.”
Yun Xiao gently shook her head with an embarrassed expression, “I won’t be angry. No matter what, my cousin’s face has become like this now, but what should I do?”
Lan Shuya was secretly delighted to see Yun Xiao mention this matter. She wiped her tears while crying. Her aggrieved voice gave people a strange feeling. “Cousin, I remember that every year the Jin Emperor would give Yun Clan a bottle of Scar Removing and Beauty Rejuvenating Ointment. That ointment is tribute from a vassal state. Its effect is excellent. Can you give me a bottle?”
Yun Xiao finally heard what Lan Shuya wanted to say. A trace of mockery gradually rose in her eyes. The reason why she had admitted defeat earlier was all because of this request. She said with an embarrassed expression, “Cousin, although someone used my name to deliver medicine to my cousin, this matter has something to do with me.” After Yun Xiao finished her sentence, she looked at Lan Shuya and saw a trace of surprise on her body.
He snorted coldly, It seemed that what he had guessed was true. His voice changed. His tone also changed slightly. “But the most important thing is that my cousin is not careful, Who are the maids beside me, “My cousin knows all about it. A maidservant who doesn’t look familiar comes to deliver the medicine. I should find someone to test the medicine first. Either find a doctor to properly check the efficacy of the medicine, or send me a letter to ask for it clearly. However, my cousin used the medicine rashly to make her face look like this, so my cousin has to bear a lot of responsibility.”
Lan Shuya originally thought that Yun Xiao was here to console her. Who knew that in the blink of an eye, she would criticize herself. She was so angry that she wished to peel off Yun Xiao’s skin. However, Lan Shuya did not forget that she still had to rely on Yun Xiao and could only suppress her anger. However, the resentment in her heart could not be suppressed. “Cousin …”
