Chapter 24 Su Yan'er's Disfigurement
Chapter 24 Su Yan'er's Disfigurement
Wanxia was stunned. She wondered if she had misheard. According to what she had originally thought, the young lady should have already helped her up and then said that she forgave her.
Why is it that things are different from what I expected?
Something must have gone wrong. However, Wanxia knew that as long as she pleaded earnestly, her mistress would soften and allow her to return.
“Miss, even if you punish me, I will not leave. If you have no one to serve you, how could I abandon you?”
As she spoke, Wanxia stepped forward again, knelt down at Qin Wan's feet, and gently tugged at her trouser leg.
Qin Wan laughed, 'How could they abandon me?' When I was at Leishan Temple, everyone abandoned me, including her!
She probably never thought she'd want to come back when she left!
Qin Wan forcefully tugged at her dress; her current appearance disgusted her.
"When you left that day, I still thought you had some guts. Now you're crawling on the ground like a dog, putting your dignity down for me to trample on. It makes me feel nauseous. I don't want to say it a second time."
"roll!"
Qin Wan pointed towards the door and reprimanded in a low voice, which, though soft, was extremely penetrating.
Wanxia broke out in a cold sweat. Did the young lady really not forgive herself?
She was simply tired of her mistress telling her trivial things, didn't want to give her mistress bad advice anymore, and wanted a gentler mistress instead.
Was she wrong?
Now that I have repented, why won't Miss give me another chance? Is the bond between master and servant these past few years worth less than a single mistake?
Upon hearing this, Su Yan'er couldn't help but frown.
According to her plan, she would send Wanxia back to Wanyue Courtyard and have her serve as Qin Wan's spy. This way, she could find out when Qin Wan had contacted her second brother and what they had said to each other.
Since I entered the household a year ago, my aunt has mentioned my marriage to my second brother more than once, but my second brother has never given a definite response, which must be related to my fourth sister.
If I could find out when they met and what they said in the future, I would have a plan when I encounter this situation again.
However, it seemed that the fourth sister did not want Wanxia to come back to serve her.
Su Yan'er felt a pang in her heart. She had finally found an opportunity to send someone into her fourth sister's courtyard, how could she give it up so easily?
"Fourth sister, Wanxia is worried about you too."
Now that Wanshuang is injured and you have no one to serve you, she risked offending me to come back. Seeing how much she missed her master, I accompanied her.
If Fourth Sister really refuses to forgive, she can be allowed to stay and serve for a few days until Wan Shuang's injuries heal, then she can be sent away.
Qin Wan chuckled, her cold eyes fixed on Su Yan'er, and stood up to interrupt.
Are you blind? Can't you see Chun Tao serving here?
"She's just a maidservant who disobeyed her master's orders and acted on her own. I've already shown her mercy by not expelling her from the household. Now she wants to beg for my forgiveness? Dream on!"
With a 'crack', Wanxia felt as if a bolt of lightning had struck her head.
Miss, do you really not forgive her?
She did choose the West Wing herself, but now she regrets it.
She was fed up with Su Yan'er's daggers behind her smiles, fed up with the days of slapping her and then giving her a sweet treat.
"Miss, please, please give me another chance. I know I was wrong. I'll listen to you from now on..."
Wanxia clung tightly to Qin Wan's leg, wanting to give herself one last chance.
She thought that if she begged a little more, her mistress would definitely soften her heart. After all, she had served her mistress for many years and was very experienced in this kind of thing.
However, Wanxia didn't consider Qin Wan's feelings at all. As Wanxia cried, she tightened her grip on Qin Wan's leg, and Qin Wan almost lost her balance.
Fortunately, Qin Wan had some martial arts skills. Just when she was about to lose her footing, she suddenly kicked Wanxia away with all her might.
But it's unclear whether Su Yan'er was acting or genuinely trying to protect Wanxia.
When she saw that Wanxia was about to fall to the ground, Su Yan'er did not dodge directly, but let Wanxia's body crash into her.
"Miss be careful!"
Chun Tao, who was standing nearby, reacted quickly and helped Qin Wan, who was about to lose her balance due to the weight.
However, Qin Wan used considerable force this time, and Su Yan'er was so badly hit by the sunset that she didn't stop until she bumped into the table.
The teacups on the table were knocked off the table by the two of them, and then with a 'bang', the teacups shattered on the ground, and the shards of teacups grazed Su Yan'er's cheek.
A thin bloodstain was left behind.
Su Yan'er immediately felt a pain on her face. She touched it and found blood. Had she been disfigured?
Then, trembling, she looked at the bloodstains between her fingers. The stinging pain made Su Yan'er's tears fall instantly. Although her back had hurt when she hit the table, it was nothing compared to the heartache caused by the disfigurement on her face.
Su Yan'er struggled to her feet, her eyes brimming with tears as she looked at the sunset and asked, "Sunset, is my face...?"
The evening glow turned its head in response, and saw a shocking bloodstain on Su Yan'er's face. "Yes, it's Miss's face!"
Seeing Wanxia's reaction, Su Yan'er's heart sank. She hadn't even married her second brother yet, and she was already disfigured. What if her second brother disliked her in the future?
Su Yan'er couldn't accept this reality and fainted immediately upon hearing the sound.
"Miss Yan'er, Miss Yan'er..."
Wanxia already disliked Su Yan'er, but Su Yan'er's act of acting as a cushion for her was something she hadn't expected. She was just a maid, what merit did she have to make her mistress act as a cushion for her?
Looking at the unconscious Su Yan'er, she felt only anger.
If the Fourth Miss had forgiven me from the beginning, if the young lady hadn't said those harsh words, if the young lady hadn't taken action, if the young lady...
The more Wanxia thought about it, the more she felt that it was all Qin Wan's fault, so she glared fiercely at Qin Wan.
"Fourth Miss, it's one thing if you don't forgive me, but why do you have to treat me like this?"
If it weren't for Miss Yan'er using her noble body to shield me, I would probably be the one with the disfigured face now.
"As a lowly servant, a disfigurement is of little consequence. But Miss Yan'er is still unmarried. How can she face anyone after you've ruined her face like this?"
