"Master, it's time to change the red plum blossoms on the windowsill." Early in the morning, Qiao Lan ran to the plum garden and brought back a bunch of red plum branches covered with white snow, smiling and asking for credit from her master.

"No need."

Fu Yuzheng stood in front of the desk painting, without raising her head, and spoke in a calm tone.

Qiaolan was stunned. The bouquet in the vase was already wilted, why didn’t you change it?

Qiaomei knew the whole story. No matter how wilted it was, it was still a trophy picked up from Shanlu Academy. How could the master be willing to throw it away?

Qiaomei thoughtfully prepared flower shears and a watering can.

Sure enough, after Fu Yuzheng finished her painting, she took the flower scissors and happily trimmed the red plum blossoms, removing the wilted petals and leaves and leaving the energetic ones.

A quarter of an hour later, a smaller bouquet of flowers arrived.

Still bright red and charming.

"Master, you are so skillful." Qiaomei praised sincerely.

Qiaolan felt a little cold in her heart. She didn't know since when her master began to treat her less warmly than Qiaomei.

It’s obvious that they are both maids and have been following their masters since they were seven years old!

Seventeen-year-old Qiaolan couldn't help but hide in a corner of the garden and cry.

By chance, Fu Yuyao, wearing a veil, passed by and asked, "Isn't this Qiaolan from Third Sister's side? Why was she wronged for no reason?"

Fu Yuyao knew that Qiaolan was Fu Yuzheng's confidant, so she gently helped her up and said considerately, "No one will live in this world without disasters or grievances."

Qiaolan knew that her master and the eldest girl were not on good terms, so she kept her distance from them to avoid suspicion.

Fu Yuyao didn't care at all. She was in no hurry to win people's hearts. She took off a bracelet from her wrist and rewarded her: "Good girl, don't cry. Take it and exchange it for silver to buy yourself some delicious food."

After saying that, Fu Yuyao stopped pestering and turned to go to Fu Yuzheng's Peach Blossom Courtyard.

As soon as she entered the inner room, the bright red plum blossoms on the windowsill caught her eye. Fu Yuyao tried to find a way to greet her, "The red plum blossoms that Third Sister has raised are really festive and beautiful."

Fu Yuzheng smiled: "Of course I am celebrating. I picked them from the Shanlu Academy a few days ago and brought them back to cherish as a souvenir."

Fu Yuyao: ...

A shiver.

You are really bringing up something irrelevant. Her face was ruined at Shanlu Academy!

Of course Fu Yuzheng knew, otherwise she wouldn't have mentioned it.

Speaking is an art. Just say whatever can hurt your cousin's feelings.

"Big sister, why don't you stay in your room and take care of your face? Why do you come here?" Fu Yuzheng asked as she sat on the warm couch by the window, drawing patterns.

He didn't even look at Fu Yuyao, let alone offer her tea or a seat.

Fu Yuyao, who was treated coldly, did not dare to get upset because she came to ask for help.

"Third sister, the Snow Skin Cream is all used up. Can you ask uncle to come to the palace?"

"Why are you entering the palace?"

Fu Yuyao hurriedly said, "Please give me another bottle, Your Majesty."

Fu Yuzheng seemed to have heard a joke.

He put down his brush and looked up at her: "Oh, Snow Skin Cream is not given to anyone easily, unless the other party has made great contributions to the country."

"I wonder what achievements big sister has made?"

Fu Yuyao: ...

What achievements can a girl like her achieve?

Fu Yuzheng asked again: "You don't have one, then what about your father and two brothers?"

Fu Yuyao: ...

She looked so embarrassed. She knew what their second room was like, so why was she asking?

Isn't it just about stepping on people's sore spots?

Haha, Fu Yuzheng rolled her eyes:

"Your family has not made any achievements, yet you still want to be rewarded by the emperor? Isn't this just a daydream?"

"Qiaomei, show the guest out."

Fu Yuyao: ...

"Third sister, my father and brother don't have it, but your father does. Great uncle has been stationed in the western border for many years, defending the country and protecting the family. He is a pillar of the country. As long as great uncle is willing to go to the palace to ask for a reward, he will definitely be able to get the Snow Skin Cream back..."

"If all else fails, Third Sister, go ask Jinyiwei Commander Gao Ni for help. For your sake, Lord Gao will definitely help..."

"He is a very popular person in front of the emperor. He can ask for anything..."

Hearing this, Fu Yuzheng sneered.

He assigned her father and named Gao Ni.

How could Fu Yuyao have the nerve to say such arrogant words?

Do you really think she is so popular that all men in the world should revolve around her?

Pooh!

He signaled two sturdy women to carry Fu Yuyao and drag her out. Her cries became quieter and quieter until she was thrown out of the gate of Taohua Courtyard, and he finally had some peace and quiet.

Fu Yuzheng let her in mainly because she wanted to see how her scarred face had recovered. Now she could see that the scar had peeled off, leaving only a faint mark.

Although it tastes light, it’s great in quantity.

The criss-crossing patterns look like a light-colored spider web.

Even with the pink veil on, the exposed corners of the eyes and forehead looked strange... scary.

I don’t know whether Gao Yan still loves Fu Yuyao, who has such a “strange appearance”?

~

After Fu Yuyao was thrown out, she ran to beg her aunt Tao Ying, and even knelt on the road that her uncle Jingyang Hou had to take when he went off duty. She struggled for a whole day but to no avail.

"I call you aunt and uncle every day!"

"…What kind of blood relationship is this? It's all bullshit!"

"What a bunch of cold-hearted people!"

Fu Yuyao went crazy and started cursing!

As she cursed, she started to cry loudly at herself in the dressing mirror, seeing that her beauty was no longer there.

When the second wife, Mrs. Qiao, heard the crying, she came in and hugged her daughter, and the two of them cried together.

"My daughter, you have a miserable life."

"It's all Fu Yuzheng's family's fault. They watched me die without helping. They are cold-blooded and not human!" Fu Yuyao lay in Qiao's arms, gritting her teeth.

The fourth girl, Fu Yuxuan, lived in a small pavilion a little further away. She was annoyed when she heard her elder sister yelling and cursing, so she came over to give some advice:

"Sister, stop crying. Save your energy and write a letter for help. Ask Gao Yan to help you. It will be more effective than anything else."

Gao Yan’s Zhenguo Mansion certainly has no shortage of snow skin cream.

It would have been fine if Gao Yan hadn't been mentioned, but once Fu Yuyao was mentioned, she cried even more desperately: "He, he no longer cares about me..."

Qiao was shocked: "What?"

Fu Yuxuan was also startled: "What?"

Fu Yuyao tearfully recounted the story that she had written a letter to Gao Yan for help on the day she used the Snow Skin Cream, but after a few days, there was no reply.

"He must have felt disgusted when he saw my disfigured face that day."

Fu Yuyao cried more and more sadly.

Fu Yuxuan was relieved: "I don't think it's a big deal, it's just that there is no reply. Sister, don't worry, it's probably because her mother is very strict and Gao Yan can't find a chance to reply. It's not a big deal."

Fu Yuyao was delighted: "Really?"

Fu Yuxuan nodded affirmatively: "Just wait patiently."

Fu Yuyao, who was worried about gains and losses, burst into laughter again.

Looking at her daughter who sometimes cried and sometimes laughed, Mrs. Qiao felt extremely sad.
