Chapter 71: Volume 1, Chapter 71: Let Yun Yarou Experience the Taste of Being Mocked

"Then let's do it here at your General's Mansion!" Xu Shi compromised, gritting her teeth.

Yun Qiyue: "The mansion doesn't entertain outsiders."

Xu Shi felt her patience was cleared to zero in front of Yun Qiyue.

Taking a deep breath, Xu Shi finally found her voice, which had almost left her due to anger. "What exactly do you want?"

Yun Qiyue: "If you have something to say, say it here." She wouldn't indulge these people's bad habits.

Seeing Yun Qiyue's firm attitude and looking at Yun Yarou's veiled face, Xu Shi finally gritted her teeth. "Fine!"

What else could she do if she didn't speak?

If Rou'er's face hadn't recovered by the time the Hundred Flowers Festival arrived, then everything would be over.

"As long as you cure Rou'er's face, you can set any condition you want." Xu Shi looked at Yun Qiyue, gritting her teeth slightly.

"And our Xiang'er too." Just at this moment, Li Shulan's voice rang out.

Yun Qiyue looked over and saw Li Shulan hurrying toward them.

Although her pace was hurried, her expression was dignified and proper.

Looking at Li Shulan, Yun Qiyue's eyes narrowed slightly.

This Li Shulan didn't have much weight in the original owner's memory; she was inconspicuous, didn't like to stand out, and her presence in the mansion wasn't as strong as Xu Shi's, but she always felt that she was the most difficult person to deal with.

Xu Shi glanced at Li Shulan, not taking her seriously.

Li Shulan didn't care about Xu Shi's attitude. After standing still, she looked at Yun Qiyue. "I heard you know medical arts. You should be able to cure our Xiang'er, right?"

As she spoke, she even smiled at Yun Qiyue.

Yun Qiyue, upon hearing this, pretended to be surprised as she looked at Xu Shi and Li Shulan. "Ah? What happened to the Second Cousin and the Sixth Cousin?"

As she spoke, Yun Qiyue looked at Yun Yarou. "Why is the Second Cousin still wearing a veil?"

Yun Yarou was so angered by Yun Qiyue's words that she almost bit her silver teeth to pieces. "Yun Qiyue, don't you know what happened to me?"

Damn bitch!

Still pretending!

Yun Qiyue shrugged. "I really don't know."

Then, Yun Qiyue looked at Xu Shi. "First Madam, if you want me to treat the illness, you have to tell me what happened, right? What if I can't cure it?"

This meant she wanted to see Yun Yarou's face in public.

Yun Yarou and Xu Shi both understood Yun Qiyue's meaning, but they were somewhat hesitant.

After all, this was the gate of the General's Mansion, and there were some servants coming and going.

If the veil were really removed and seen by those servants, wouldn't Yun Yarou's reputation be ruined?

Thinking of this, Xu Shi said, "Can't a doctor diagnose by taking a pulse? If you take Rou'er's pulse, won't you know what's going on?"

Yun Qiyue shook her head. "A doctor emphasizes looking, listening, asking, and feeling. Taking a pulse is necessary, but looking is also very important."

This meant she wouldn't compromise?

"Then shall we find a place to discuss it in detail?" If they couldn't go to the Marquis Mansion and couldn't let them into the General's Mansion, then finding a place to discuss it in detail should be fine, right?

"This..." Yun Qiyue pretended to hesitate. Just when Xu Shi thought Yun Qiyue was going to agree, Yun Qiyue shook her head again. "Nature calls. I... why don't we talk about it another day, First Madam?"

Saying that, Yun Qiyue really looked like she was in a hurry to enter the mansion.

Xu Shi and the others had waited for nearly an hour, and having finally blocked Yun Qiyue, how could they let her just go back to the Mingyue Building?

They found it difficult to even enter that Mingyue Building now.

Once this Yun Qiyue entered the Mingyue Building of the General's Mansion, it was like a loach slipping into the mud; where could they find her again?

"Wait."

Xu Shi called out to Yun Qiyue. Yun Qiyue stopped and looked at Yun Yarou.

The meaning was very clear: if Yun Yarou didn't remove the veil, there was nothing else to talk about.

Yun Yarou had caused the original owner to be disfigured; how could she not make up for it for the original owner?

Today, she was going to make Yun Yarou remove the veil in public and let her experience the taste of being mocked.

She had said she was a person who kept track of every grudge, so as long as she remembered the original owner's grudge, it was only a matter of time before she took revenge.

"Mother—" Yun Yarou was anxious.

She had already seen several servants looking over. If she removed the veil, wouldn't everything be over?

She didn't want to!

She didn't want to be mocked by all of Jingcheng.

Xu Shi's fingernails had already dug into her palms; the pain helped her maintain her sanity. Finally, acting ruthlessly, Xu Shi ordered Yun Yarou, "Remove it!"

Yun Yarou backed away, her eyes full of terror. "No, I don't want to."

She didn't want to face the crowd with that unbearable face.

She didn't want to.

She was going to be the Empress in the future; she absolutely could not leave this stain.

Seeing Yun Yarou back away, Xu Shi's gaze turned ruthless. "Don't you want to go to the Hundred Flowers Festival anymore?"

Yun Yarou's movement paused.

The Hundred Flowers Festival...

If she didn't go to the Hundred Flowers Festival, what future could she have? How could she be the Crown Princess? How could she be the Empress in the future?

No, she couldn't lose even a chance to show her face.

And even if her face was ruined now and her reputation was ruined, as long as she could show her face at the Hundred Flowers Festival, as long as she could find a way to surprise everyone, then everything today wouldn't matter.

Yes, it wouldn't matter!

Yun Yarou told herself this over and over again. Finally, she took a deep breath, glared resentfully at Yun Qiyue, and then slowly raised her hand to lift her veil.

"Hiss—"

As soon as Yun Yarou's veil was lifted, she heard the sound of servants gasping.

Yun Yarou's face, which had been covered by the veil, was now full of red, festering pustules, looking as if they were about to burst at any moment. It was disgusting to the extreme, even more terrifying than Yun Qiyue's yin-yang face.

Yun Yarou was stimulated by this sound and glared ferociously at the servants who were peeking. "What are you looking at? Why don't you get lost?"

Those servants hadn't seen Yun Yarou like this and were stunned.

The Second Young Lady, hadn't she always been gentle and kind? How could she show such an expression and say such things?

Yun Yarou thought the servants were stunned because of her face, and for a moment she couldn't bear it and was about to continue getting angry.

Xu Shi, fearing that Yun Yarou's reputation would be completely ruined, reached out to stop her and quickly put the veil back on Yun Yarou. However, because Yun Yarou's face was truly too disgusting, Xu Shi's hands trembled as she put the veil on.

After covering that face, Xu Shi looked at Yun Qiyue. "Are you satisfied now?"

Yun Qiyue nodded in a good mood. "Mm, satisfied."

Xu Shi: "Then can you cure Rou'er?"

As long as Rou'er was fine and could successfully go to the Hundred Flowers Festival, she would make Yun Qiyue look good.

She wanted to see how long she could be arrogant.

"Yes!" Yun Qiyue nodded very affirmatively.

There was no reason she couldn't cure her own poison.

Xu Shi and Yun Yarou both looked at Yun Qiyue. Li Shulan also interjected at this time. "And what about our Xiang'er? Can you cure her too?"

Yun Qiyue glanced at Li Shulan calmly and said, "I can cure her, but I have conditions." ===== CHAPTER 72 =====
