Dressed as the villain's stepmother

"I will tell you the truth now. This mandarin duck sachet was specially given to me by Liao Yunchuan. Dad wanted to use it as a bargaining chip to facilitate my marriage to him."

"It's just that the relationship between us is currently on the same level. Dad is not willing to marry me to Liao Yunchuan's family and suffer the consequences, so he casually left this sachet to me."

Xiao Xiyan started to make up stories casually. The words she said were half unbelievable, but she felt that she could always fool Jiang Lianzhu.

Jiang Lianzhu just paused for a moment, then raised her head and stared into Xiao Xiyan's eyes: "Why do you think I will believe what you say?"

Liao Yunchuan gave Xiao Xiyan a mandarin duck sachet. She would not dare to make up a story about such a fantasy.

But now Xiao Xiyan has the courage to speak out, which is really embarrassing for her.

"What reason do you have for not believing me? This sachet is in my hand now. The worst we can do is go to Liumen now and ask Liao Yunchuan about this matter."

Xiao Xiyan said and wanted to pull Jiang Lianzhu out, but the latter calmly took the sachet in her hand.

"It doesn't matter. I don't need you to verify anything for me now. After all, whether this matter is true or false is beyond my scope of concern."

Jiang Lianzhu spoke unhurriedly, with an extremely calm look on her face.

"As long as you can get enough compensation, I won't say much about the rest."

"it is good."

Xiao Xiyan took out a silver note from her sleeve. Jiang Lianzhu was naturally extremely satisfied when she looked at the amount written on it.

"I'll keep this banknote for now. You can go to the backyard with me now."

Jiang Lianzhu stuffed the banknotes into her sleeves without haste, turned around and walked to a private room in the backyard. Liu Qingqing was so anxious that she was almost jumping up and down next to her.

Why can a woman like Xiao Xiyan be treated in their medical clinic? She should be kicked out!

Xiao Xiyan did not doubt his presence and quickly followed Jiang Lianzhu.

In the wing.

Jiang Lianzhu raised her hand and took off her veil. The swelling on her right cheek looked extremely dazzling.

"Is this what you want me to treat?"

"Yes, I don't know when I got it... My face was fine a few days ago, but this lump suddenly appeared on my face yesterday. But it grew bigger and bigger overnight. Even other doctors didn’t give me good advice.”

Xiao Xiyan spoke in a low voice, obviously hiding something else.

But Jiang Lianzhu was not interested in the things she deliberately concealed. She opened the bag with silver needles on the side, picked up a silver needle and poked it on the swelling.

No liquid came out.

The swelling was like a piece of flesh growing on Xiao Xiyan's face, and it had become one with her.

"Tsk, it seems like your thing is not easy to cure at all. If that doesn't work, you can only cut off this piece of it, or you can only wait for it to spread to your entire face."

After hearing this, Xiao Xiyan jumped up from the chair and took several steps back, not daring to let Jiang Lianzhu get closer.

If the swelling on her face was cut off abruptly, wouldn't her face be ruined?

"Don't tell me lies now. I've already given you the reward you want - if you can restore my face to its original state, I'm willing to give you another few thousand taels of silver."

Xiao Xiyan kept breathing heavily, suppressing the panic in her heart as much as possible.

Her face is the last bargaining chip she has left. If she can't keep this, there will be no place for her in the Prime Minister's Mansion in the future.

"Why are you anxious? What I just said was just to tease you. Miss Xiao is so smart that she shouldn't take my joke seriously."

Jiang Lianzhu immediately changed the subject.

The bump on Xiao Xiyan's face is not an incurable terminal disease, but it is just because her daily life is not disciplined enough, which leads to the current situation.

This daughter-in-law of the Prime Minister's Palace is more open-minded in private than she imagined.

"You wait here for now, I'll go ahead and grab some herbs for you."

Jiang Lianzhu pointed to the wooden chairs placed nearby and instructed Xiao Xiyan.

"Also, if you dare to touch anything in this room, then I won't treat the thing on your face."

She gave another order before leaving, but Xiao Xiyan could only sit on the wooden chair obediently, not daring to move.

Jiang Lianzhu quickly walked into the medical clinic. Liu Qingqing threw away the medical skills in his hands and came directly to greet him: "Shopkeeper, why do you want to see that woman? There is not a shortage of doctors in our medical clinic." Golden."

Liu Qingqing couldn't help but complain.

"She used to show off her power in the medical clinic. Her eyes were too high and she couldn't see anything."

"Qingqing, there is no need for us to struggle with this vain money."

Jiang Lianzhu smiled slightly and took out the banknote from her sleeve.

"Besides, Xiao Xiyan can give us more than just this amount of money."

Liu Qingqing stared at the banknote in Jiang Lianzhu's hand for a long time, and then finally understood why he had to see the woman. After all, he gave too much, and there was no way to refuse.

Jiang Lianzhu found some common medicinal materials and asked the boy to grind them all into powder before returning to the backyard.

Xiao Xiyan didn't dare to move at the same place. She kept her original posture and her legs started to feel numb even while sitting.

When Jiang Lianzhu walked in with the medicinal powder, she wanted to laugh for a moment, and she pointed at the dump beside her.

"Now go and lie down on that couch for me."

"it is good."

Xiao Xiyan went to lie down there with great vigilance, and opened her eyes to see the silver needles poking her face one after another.

Her face was numb and painful.

"You must not make a sound now. If one of the silver needles on your face suddenly falls off, then all the suffering we have suffered before will be in vain."

Jiang Lianzhu started to fool her slowly, and then the needles were inserted into her face faster and faster.

"After all, my set of acupuncture techniques only has a beginning and an end. If it is accidentally interrupted - you have to bear the consequences yourself."

What she said was extremely serious, giving the impression that she was not joking.

Xiao Xiyan really treasured her own face, and she was also extremely afraid of pain, so naturally she didn't dare to disobey it. .
