Chapter 90 Escape
Bai Wei had given instructions in advance, so Liu Yu was not stopped and arrived at the gate smoothly and stepped out of Prince Qi's Mansion.
Guyu had been waiting at the gate of Prince Qi's mansion. When he saw Liu Yu coming out, he immediately came over and took Liu Yu to a corner.
What caught my eye was several people lying on the ground in a mess, with Feng Mo standing beside them.
Seeing Liu Yu coming, Feng Mo stepped forward and clasped his hands together to report:
"As you expected, they are sent by the Pingnan Marquis' Mansion, and the order they received is that you are not allowed to leave the Qi Wang Mansion tonight."
Liu Yu nodded: "Don't worry about them, Guard Feng, come with me to Jisheng Hall!" Her face was really itchy, and she had to use a lot of willpower to resist scratching it from the beginning until now.
If we delay any further, there will be a real risk of disfigurement.
Although sometimes she feels that this appearance brings her a lot of trouble, no woman really wants her face to be ruined.
"Yes." Feng Mo and Gu Yu both saw Liu Yu's pig-like face and did not dare to delay.
Feng Mo brought the carriage that was waiting in the corner. After Liu Yu and his servant got on the carriage, he whipped the horse and galloped towards Jisheng Hall.
When they arrived at Ji Shengtang, Su Xun had already prepared the decoction to cure the Pinellia ternata poison.
After Liu Yu finished drinking the medicine, Su Xun gave her a small box of ointment, which Guyu applied to her again. The unbearable itching that went to her bones was relieved and she felt a little better.
Looking at the unrecognizable Liu Yu in front of him, Su Xun clicked his tongue:
"As expected of a woman with the most vicious heart, you can harm such a beautiful face, Miss Liu."
Liu Yu smiled bitterly: "What can I do? If I go deep into the wolf's den and still look so beautiful, I won't be able to get out."
Although Su Xun was only a doctor, he had seen the secrets of the backyards of the wealthy and powerful. Especially for a concubine like Liu Yu, being too beautiful might not necessarily be a good thing.
Concubines are involved in buying and selling, and exchanging. People like her are easily targeted. A gentleman will directly tell Mr. Chen San about it. If someone is more treacherous, he will just take her away. As long as he pays the corresponding price afterwards, there won't necessarily be any problem.
This Miss Liu had obviously met someone who had bad intentions towards her.
Su Xun did not continue the topic and began to explain to Liu Yu the things he should avoid saying and doing:
"Miss Liu, you can't eat greasy, spicy food recently, and you are forbidden to touch other irritating things. When you go back, you can apply clean ice cubes to your face, which will help reduce swelling..."
After coming out of Jisheng Hall, it was almost midnight.
"Aunt Liu, where are we going now?" Feng Mo's voice came from outside the car.
I absolutely cannot go back to the Pingnan Marquis Mansion, so I can only go back to the Chen Mansion.
"Go back to Chen Mansion." Liu Yu replied.
Feng Mo immediately turned his horse around and headed towards Chen's Mansion.
When they returned to Chen's Mansion, the main gate and the corner gate had already been closed. Feng Mo jumped off the carriage and walked forward and knocked on the lock of the corner gate.
After a long while, the doorman's impatient voice came: "Who is it?"
"it's me."
Hearing Feng Mo's voice, the corner door was immediately opened, and Liu Yu got off the carriage with the help of Guyu.
If it weren’t for Feng Mo, the doorman might not have let Liu Yu in.
When they returned to the duty room, the doorman was still wondering why Aunt Liu had returned to her parents' home and why she had become like that.
Seeing him like this, the doorman of another door living in the classroom couldn't help but ask curiously:
"Xiao Cao, what's going on? I went to open the door, and it was like I saw a ghost."
"It's just that I saw a ghost." The doorman recounted what had happened.
Liu Yu didn't know yet that she had just returned to the Chen Mansion when the news of her appearance spread. In the end, it became known that she was really disfigured, and it was beyond repair.
She was very tired, so she returned to Qinyuanju, asked Guyu to wash her, then lay down on the couch and fell into a deep sleep.
She had a dreamless night and was awakened the next day by the noise outside.
"Guyu, what's going on outside? Why is it so noisy?" Liu Yu asked.
Guyu lifted the curtain and looked at Liu Yu's face, which had mostly lost its swelling. She was stunned for a moment, and then said helplessly: "I don't know who spread the rumor outside, saying that my wife's face was disfigured. Everyone is waiting outside, ready to laugh at me!" She wrung out the handkerchief and gave it to Liu Yu to wipe her face.
Liu Yu took it and gently wiped her face. With Guyu's help, she got out of bed and put on her clothes.
At this moment, there was another noise outside the house.
"We just want to go in and see Aunt Liu, why won't they let us in?"
"It's just a disfigurement! Why don't you dare to come out?"
"You really think you are still as stunning as before. You dare to stop us. When the Third Master comes back, your aunt will fall out of favor. You will be in trouble then..."
"..."
At this time, the little girl's sobbing could be heard.
"Madam, let me help you to dress up first." Guyu wanted to help Liu Yu sit down in front of the dressing table.
Liu Yu gently pushed away Guyu's hand that was about to help her: "Don't worry, let's go out and take a look first." She took a single coat, put it on, and walked out.
Guyu quickly took the veil from the rack and chased after him...
When Liu Yu appeared at the door, the little girl from Qinyuanju who was blocking the door not only had tears all over her face, but also five clear slap marks on her face.
Liu Yu's sharp eyes swept over the people gathered outside Qinyuanju and asked:
"Who did it?"
Originally, the women in the Chen family's backyard were a little afraid of this concubine who was favored by the third master, but when they saw Liu Yuzhen coming out wearing a veil, they confirmed the rumors that had spread this morning: this person was disfigured.
Every woman knows how important appearance is, especially for a concubine who serves a man with her beauty. If she doesn't have a pretty face, how can the third master still favor her in the future? How is that possible?
In the eyes of these women, Liu Yu was a woman who was about to be abandoned by Mr. Chen San, and they all looked arrogant.
Liu Yu glanced at everyone and finally stopped at Jiang Xueqing. Compared to when Jiang Xueqing lost her child some time ago, she was now wearing a gold and silver brocade feather skirt and a huge red gold hairpin on her head. She looked elegant and more beautiful than before.
"You were the one who instigated them to come." There was no joy in Liu Yu's voice.
Jiang Xueqing raised her hand to touch the hairpin on her head: "So what if it's me?" She looked Liu Yu up and down:
"You are just an ugly woman with a ruined face now, what can you use to fight me?"
"Heh" Liu Yu sneered. She really felt that this woman was sick more and more. Was it worth it for her to argue with her?
"I advise you to take it away as soon as possible, otherwise..."
She came to the Jiang Mansion today to laugh at Liu Yu. She wanted to expose Liu Yu's hideous face full of pustules in front of everyone and let everyone laugh at her. How could she be threatened by Liu Yu's words?
Jiang Xueqing did not retreat, but stepped forward:
"What else can you do? You dare to hit me." When she was not far away from Liu Yu, she suddenly made a move and grabbed Liu Yu's veil.
