"According to my suggestion, you must tell the young master about this! When he returns, how can Miss Liu still be in the General's residence?" Xinrong's tone was filled with anger.
"Don't say anything!"
Startled by Mo Xier's anger, Xinrong hesitated and looked at her, feeling some words were too difficult to express.
"I have my own way of handling this matter; there's no need to tell him!" The chaotic gaze met Xinrong's, instantly easing her worries.
"Miss, why not tell the young master that it was Miss Liu's fault? If the young master knows, he will definitely seek justice for you, won't he?" Xinrong argued passionately, but Mo Xier remained unresponsive.
The buzzing sound in her mind continued, like a swarm of chaotic flies that couldn't be swatted away, crashing around in her head.
"Miss, due to the effects of the medicine, you must be feeling quite unwell. Let's stop the previous medication for now. As for later, once you feel better, I can help you with your recovery," Dr. Li said with a slight shake of his head before taking his leave.
Mo Xier had her own thoughts. She had been enduring Liu Xuxin's provocations, thinking that as long as she didn't bother her anymore, she could pretend not to know anything. It would only take a moment to find an excuse to drive her out of the General's residence!
Moreover, Night Star was currently on the battlefield, and there were already many pressing matters to worry about. How could she let him be distracted by such trivial issues?
Although she didn't want any entanglements with him, she also didn't want him to lose focus because of her and fail at what he was supposed to do!
Her grip on the silk blanket gradually tightened, and a hint of indifference appeared in her eyes.
While she was tolerant towards others, they treated her as a thorn in their side! Since they showed no mercy towards her, she wouldn't feel guilty about being unkind in return! Her gaze darkened, but no one noticed the unease in her expression.
Meanwhile, since Liu Xuxin returned from Mo Xier's courtyard at noon, she had been like an ant on a hot pan, unable to focus on anything else but staring at the door outside with eager anticipation.
"Miss, have some tea. The ointment Dr. Wang provided won't take effect so quickly," Cui Er offered a cup of tea, which Liu Xuxin took without a second thought.
Heaven knows how much effort she put into obtaining Mo Xier's prescription and getting Dr. Wang to make that ointment while pretending to reconcile with that woman! If it weren't for wanting to poison that Jade Bitch! She wouldn't even want to associate with such lowly people!
Sitting from noon until afternoon, her back became stiff from sitting still without receiving any useful information. Just when she was about to give up, a maid rushed in hurriedly and somewhat flustered.
"Why did you rush in like this? Don't you know that the young lady hates it? Are you complaining that the young lady has been too good to you?" Cui Er immediately shouted sternly when she saw Liu Xuxin's expression was off.
"Please spare me, young lady. It was I who received a report from the informant placed in Miss Mo's courtyard. Thinking that the young lady would be anxious to know, I hurried over. I hope the young lady can forgive me."
Upon hearing it was about that Demoness, her eyes instantly lit up, and any trace of anger on her face vanished. She eagerly asked, "What happened to her? Is she in danger?"
The gleam in her eyes radiated a terrifying light, filled with anticipation—far from the demeanor expected of a well-mannered young lady from a wealthy family.
"In response to the young lady, it is said that although Miss Mo's life is not in danger, her face has been completely ruined. I heard that even Dr. Li was so frightened upon seeing her that he couldn't utter a word! Although I haven't seen her appearance with my own eyes, the informant in the courtyard spoke very truthfully!"
The little maid spoke animatedly as if she had seen it herself, making Liu Xuxin feel restless inside, eager to go see that Jade Bitch's room right now! How triumphant.
"Step back; you did well this time. I have a reward for you!" After a tense afternoon, her heart relaxed instantly as she waved at the maid, unable to hide the smile on her face.
The rewarded maid smiled even more happily, bowing several times before contentedly retreating.
As soon as her figure disappeared at the door, Cui Er stepped forward with a smile and performed a deep bow, saying, "I congratulate you, young lady; you've finally resolved your greatest worry!
Now that the Jade Bitch is gone, no one can stop you from becoming the General's Wife. If Old Madam knew, she would surely praise you!"
Hearing such flattery made Liu Xuxin feel elated, almost floating in bliss, unable to discern where she was. She tried to suppress her smile but couldn't help but let it grow wider.
"I didn't expect that Demoness to be so foolish; she dared to use what I sent! She deserves it!" The fierce and cold look in her eyes contrasted sharply with her usual gentle demeanor but revealed a complete ruthlessness.
"Young lady, tonight Old Madam has invited you for dinner. Why don't we invite that Jade Bitch too? Let her know what it's like to be embarrassed in front of others!"
Looking at Cui Er with a hint of approval, she satisfiedly tapped the table with her hand. "Finally, you're using your brain! Let's do just that! I'll personally go invite her; I don't believe that Jade Bitch won't come out!"
"If she doesn't come out, you're so clever; you'll naturally find ways to make her come out," Cui Er laughed in agreement.
The two exchanged knowing smiles, fully in sync with each other and wearing expressions full of malice.
That night, as the lights lit up in the General's residence, there was a unique scenery along the long streets of the capital. With Night Star absent from the residence, there was indeed an added liveliness throughout the estate.
When the man was at home, the servants knew that the young master disliked noise, and they didn't even dare to speak loudly, so the residence was naturally quiet.
Now that he was gone, the servants felt freer. During their daily activities in the residence, they could hear their laughter and playful banter, making it much more interesting than before.
In Mo Xier's courtyard, Liu Xuxin stood there in her splendid attire, just as she had said during the day, waiting for the woman inside to come out.
Xinrong pushed the door open and saw Liu Xuxin in the courtyard. Her eyes were filled with unmasked anger. Initially uncertain about the effectiveness of her ointment, after meeting Liu Xuxin's gaze, her confidence surged from thirty percent to ninety percent!
Such a look clearly indicated that the woman inside was not in good condition, right?
"Miss Liu, dinner time is approaching. Why are you looking for my young lady at this moment?"
Taking a few steps forward, a false smile spread across her face as she said, "Aunt asked me to have dinner with her today. I thought since Aunt and Miss Mo don't get along well, this would be a good opportunity to help Miss Mo out. Perhaps Aunt will be swayed by what I say, and your young lady won't have such a hard time at the General's residence."
Listening to her words that seemed considerate of others truly matched her gentle smile and soft demeanor.
Despite these grandiose words, Xinrong felt furious inside but couldn't show it! She remembered her young lady's words: no matter what this woman said, she had to suppress her anger.
"Miss Liu, our young lady might not be available today..." Acting was something anyone could do. After so many years in the General's residence, acting had become a skill for Xinrong. She wore an expression of difficulty as if there were some unspeakable reasons.
"Is Miss Mo worried about her appearance? It's fine; she can just wear a veil like that day. Besides, what kind of relationship do I have with Miss Mo? There's nothing to avoid."
Seeing her expression, Liu Xuxin understood more clearly and praised Doctor Wang in her heart!
This ointment was indeed powerful; it could make this Jade Bitch stay indoors. It seemed that her face had been severely damaged!
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but clench her hands at her sides and maliciously thought: If tonight she could get a little more of it to cause instant poisoning or make her face irreparably damaged, wouldn't that be delightful!
"Miss Liu may not know this, but our young lady seems to have eaten something wrong today; her entire face is unrecognizable. Not only is it impossible for her to go to Old Madam's place, but even stepping outside is dangerous for me!"
After glancing around cautiously, Xinrong stepped closer and whispered into Liu Xuxin's ear with a careful demeanor as if afraid someone might overhear them. "Miss Liu mustn't tell anyone! I only mentioned this because I saw how well the young lady and you get along."
After speaking, Xinrong appeared very anxious and looked around nervously.
However, Liu Xuxin was as excited as if she had been injected with adrenaline. With Xinrong's words, her determination only grew stronger.
Gently patting her hand in a comforting manner, Liu Xuxin said, "It's alright. With the ointment I brought, your young lady will surely be able to regain her previous appearance. How about this? Let me go in and persuade her. If she is willing, she can come; if not, I won't force her. What do you think?"
After hesitating for a moment, Xinrong eventually nodded and led her into the room.
However, just as they pushed open the door, a loud crash erupted at their feet! A fine vase exploded right beside Liu Xuxin! Startled, she screamed instantly! Her heart raced and her blood pressure shot up, causing her expression to twist in shock.
The creator of this incident, Mo Xier, veiled and with a playful look on her face, was watching everything unfold at the doorway.
Seeing Liu Xuxin's expression, a smirk quickly appeared on her lips but was soon overshadowed by an angry demeanor. No one saw that smile; it vanished like a star lost in the night sky, no longer shining and impossible to trace.
"Oh dear, Miss Liu, what brings you here? I hope I didn't hit you with that!"
Liu Xuxin covered her wildly beating heart with both hands, looking thoroughly startled as she finally focused her gaze on Mo Xier.
At first glance, she noticed that Mo Xier's veil was even thicker than before, obscuring everything below her eyes and making it impossible to see the extent of any injuries on her face.
The anger that had initially surged within Liu Xuxin was instantly soothed upon seeing Mo Xier's face. Although the injuries were hidden from view, the thick veil already indicated that something was seriously wrong.
She had been disfigured!
