An ugly girl starts off, then becomes a beauty

At the end of July, Nie Ce went to Gao Mansion to visit Gao Heng. He didn't know how long he stayed in Yanshuiju. When he came out, he met Sang Ling who came from Hanning Garden.

The two of them greeted each other without much time for conversation.

Gao Heng's body has fully recovered in the past two days. If Sang Feng'e hadn't stopped him, he would have gone out to treat patients.

Sang Ling slowly handed over the housework to Sang Feng'e. Only when he had the power to manage the household back did he feel that the burden was truly lifted. She also thought that her studies could not be delayed any longer, so at night, the daughter of the Sang family immediately prepared the things she would need for school the next day.

I weighed myself again before going to bed. This time I learned how to do it, so I let the young woman, Ya Nu, watch and write down the numbers after I memorized them.

After two or three months, although her life was busy, she was noticeably thinner. She could clearly feel the change, her body felt lighter, and even when she sat cross-legged or bent over, she no longer had a belly.

Only Aunt Cheng was not satisfied, saying that she was too thin now, "She can't get any thinner, or else her clothes won't hold up."

She herself was very satisfied.

When it comes to losing weight, I’m afraid that as soon as I see a little bit of good signs, I’ll want to stop. After a while, I’ll start to think about indulging myself again. Over time, I’m afraid that my weight will go back up.

It is best to stabilize at a number and maintain it for a year or two. Once your body has adapted to this pattern, it will be difficult to gain weight in the future.

She drew a big check mark behind the target in the upper right corner of the silk book.

The next day, just like before the holiday, Sang Ling was the first to enter the pavilion.

It was almost noon when a few people came to the study room, all of them looked sleepy. Nie Ce came very early as usual and was the fourth one to enter the study room.

The servants placed the writing brushes and ink beside him - even though he might not touch these things all day, he still had to do the necessary work to save face.

The young man leaned against the table and met Sang Ling's eyes when she turned around. He smiled and nodded slightly as a greeting to her.

The daughter of the Sang family also smiled and nodded, and greeted silently.

As people came in one after another, Ban Le and Dai Chengjun came together. They stopped in front of Sang Ling before they even sat down.

"Who are you? This position is already occupied." Dai Chengjun's tone was as ruthless as ever.

Sang Ling raised her head and faced the two of them. She knew she had changed a lot. When she was at the gatehouse in May, she had lost a lot of weight, but when she sat on the ground, she still looked like a meatball at first glance. After working hard for the past two months, she had not only lost a lot of weight, but she also chose a waist-binding curved skirt today and combed her hair on both sides of her temples. Unlike the previous horse-shaped bun, this time she really exposed her face, and also showed her clear neck and jaw.

But anyway, it's not so unrecognizable that his facial features haven't changed.

"Sang Ling?" Ban Le was the first to recognize him.

As he spoke, he moved the table and sat down on his seat with one foot. His eyes seemed to be fixed on Sang Ling's face. "How horrible! How did you become like this?" He paused, covered his mouth again, swallowed, and then said, "I meant it in a good way."

Dai Chengjun also sat on her left. The two of them looked at each other with a piercing gaze, which made people feel embarrassed. Sang Ling looked around and replied with a twitching mouth, "Something happened at home this month, and I was really busy, so, so--" He said a word and nodded in one direction, taking both sides into consideration, "so I lost some weight."

"You've lost more than just some weight, haven't you?" Dai Chengjun propped up his chin and looked at her seriously. "I've noticed before that you're pretty, with eyes like a cow's. I knew you'd look better when you lost weight, but I never said it, and I didn't think you'd really lost weight."

This metaphor is really confusing. She even laughed dryly, but she was afraid of being praised in person, and felt that no matter how she responded, it would be wrong. Fortunately, the two little daughters were always able to chat with her freely.

"You've noticed it before, why didn't you say it?" Ban Le's round eyes were fixed on Sang Ling, but his words were directed to Dai Chengjun. After saying this, he even imitated Dai Chengjun, propping up the back of his head and concentrating on observing her.

"I don't like to praise others, for fear of making them proud."

As expected of Dai Chengjun, he doesn't hide his thoughts at all.

"When you praise others, they will only be happy and will not be able to thank you enough." Ban Le said, "No wonder, you have never praised me before."

"What do you have to praise? There are not many people praising you. Do you really need me to praise you?"

"Who praised me?"

"that is not--"

"Okay." Sang Ling raised his hands and gently pushed his two little girls, "The teacher is here."

This meant that they had to listen carefully. The people on both sides sat back in dismay. Ban Le couldn't help himself and leaned over to Sang Ling's ear and asked, "You came to see me last month. What happened?"

"It's all right now." She took out two brushes and spread out the bamboo slips.

"That's good." After saying that, the little daughter on the right stepped back.

A new day of study began. The daughter in the middle couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, cheered up, and focused all her attention on the main seat.
