Huaichun saw that Chu Yizhao had stopped crying, so she squatted down and advised her:

"Miss, you are the legitimate daughter of our mansion. Why bother to compete with that cousin? After all, she will leave sooner or later."

Chu Yizhao paused sobbing. Huaichun thought she was sad because of Chu Yingxue?

Yes, at this point in time, Chu Yingxue had not yet been recognized as the sixth lady of the Marquis' Mansion, and was still living in the Marquis' Mansion as a distant relative of the Zhao family.

The reason for living here is because of Chu Yizhao...

Chu Yingxue came to the Marquis' Mansion last year. When she came, there was a hideous scar on her face, which ran from her left eyebrow through the bridge of her nose to behind her right ear, and it was like a centipede lying in the middle of her face.

She came to find Chu Yizhao.

When Chu Yizhao was young, she was in poor health, so Madam Chu took her to a Taoist temple to meditate and pray, where she met her master, Tianguang Taoist.

Seeing how intelligent she was, the master taught her medicinal diet and also gave her a secret recipe for removing scars and nourishing the skin.

Zhao Shuzhen was scratched by a civet cat last year. She made an ointment according to the prescription, and the scratches were completely healed in a month.

Who knew that fat meat attracts vicious dogs.

Chu Yingxue came to ask for medicine, claiming to be the daughter of Zhao Shuzhen's cousin, so she gave her a bottle of ointment.

But the scar on Chu Yingxue's face was too long and too deep. She had been injured when she was five years old, so the scar had already become deeply ingrained, and the ointment was of no use at all.

The next day, Chu Yingxue knelt outside her courtyard and begged her for help. Zhao Yuzhen was also sighing and worrying about her niece. Her brothers also came every day, and the threshold of her courtyard was almost broken by people.

Chu Yizhao found it strange that the brothers, with different personalities, all came to plead for an orphan girl...

Chu Mingxu explained: "This is an opportunity. If even such a big scar can be cured, more people will come to visit us in the future."

At that time, Chu Huai had no idea who he had offended. Not only was he repeatedly suppressed in the officialdom, but the farms and shops of the Marquis' Mansion were also unable to make ends meet.

If it weren’t for the Queen Mother’s protection, Chu Huai wouldn’t be able to eat any of the eight dishes.

Chu Yizhao wanted to do something for his family, so after hearing what his fourth brother said, he agreed to develop a prescription for Chu Yingxue.

When Chu Yingxue entered the mansion, Chu Yizhao was fourteen years old. She was the youngest child in the family. There were no female relatives in the mansion. Suddenly a sister of the same age as her came, and she was so happy that she couldn't help it.

Not only did she take good care of her in terms of food, clothing, housing and transportation, but when Chu Yingxue first came, she was timid and cowardly and couldn't even recognize all the words, so she stayed up all night teaching her to read and write.

But this younger sister would always fall ill or fall from time to time, and she just thought that Chu Yingxue was too weak, but she didn't notice that her brothers were looking at her more and more strangely.

Half a year later, Chu Yingxue's face gradually recovered after repeated use of medication, with only a few spots left.

Chu Yizhao rubbed the scars on his hands, but old wounds that had penetrated into the flesh and bones were not so easy to heal. The Linglian Grass that could heal the scars and regenerate new flesh was only found under the Wuqing Cliff.

Wuqing Cliff is hundreds of feet high, and the Linglian grass is extremely delicate, so others cannot interfere. She has to spend three or four days climbing and picking every time. The hard rock fragments make her hands and feet bleed.

That day, she had just returned home from collecting herbs when she was stopped by her third brother Chu Yunyang. She thought he was here to sympathize with her worn hands, but he warned Chu Yizhao with a gloomy face.

"I'm going to serve in the army. You must stop being willful and unruly at home and bullying Yingxue. Otherwise... when I come back, you'll have something to worry about."

Chu Yizhao stood there in a daze. It was the first time that her third brother spoke to her in such a cold and piercing tone. She wanted to go to her eldest brother to complain, but she was still treated coldly.

"If you were well-behaved and sensible, how could Third Brother say such a thing? Yingxue has a pitiful life experience, you shouldn't always bully her."

Everyone said that Chu Yizhao bullied Chu Yingxue, so her mother, who had always been kind and generous, punished her to reflect on her mistakes behind closed doors. Chu Yunxu also changed his usual small quarrels and began to speak ill of her.

Chu Yizhao didn't understand, she just felt wronged. How could a young lady who had been spoiled for so many years tolerate such humiliation?

She began to think that since everyone was on Chu Yingxue's side and felt that she had bullied her, she would confirm the accusation and not let her off easily.

He made so much trouble that he became disabled.

"These bitches"

Chu Yizhao thought about the suffering he had endured in the past and couldn't help but want to curse.

"Bitch bitch bitch bitch"

Wo Qiu suddenly walked in and said, "Miss, my cousin is here."

Chu Yizhao suddenly stopped talking and said in a deep voice

"Let her in"

Chu Yingxue walked in gracefully, wearing the finest flowing cloud gauze, which sparkled in the moonlight as she walked.

In the previous life, Zhao Yuzhen said that the money in the mansion was tight and the expenses were greatly reduced. It turned out that the money was reduced for her and given to Chu Yingxue...

"elder sister"

Chu Yizhao sat up and asked, "Sister? You came so late, do you have something to talk to me about?"

At this point in time, Chu Yunyang had just joined the army not long ago, and she hadn't had such a bad quarrel with her brothers yet. She received a lot of gifts when she came of age a few days ago.

She took Chu Yingxue's place, so her birthday was naturally Chu Yingxue's birthday.

But when she came to the mansion, Chu Yizhao asked her age, and she nervously said autumn.

Since it was autumn, the Chu family couldn't be too obvious in their birthday gifts, so Chu Yunyang, who was far away at the border, prepared two gifts in advance.

In her previous life, Chu Yingxue came to her yard and sat for a while, then fell ill when she returned. It was unknown what she said to Chu Yunxu.

The next day, Chu Yunxu broke into her house and not only smashed her yard to pieces, but also stole a lot of things, even the Ruyi Golden Branch ruby ​​armlet given to her by the Queen Mother.

She insisted on going to see the empress dowager, and was locked up by Zhao Shuzhen in the ancestral hall and made to kneel for two nights until she was exhausted. Afterwards, Zhao Shuzhen hugged her and cried and admitted his mistake. She was soft-hearted for a moment and never mentioned going to see the empress dowager again.

Chu Yizhao was playing with the teacup leisurely. His identity was discovered, so naturally those beasts would not give him anything good. They just gave him a bowl of rags.

"Nothing, just come and talk to my sister."

Chu Yingxue stood there with a smile on her face, waiting for someone to bring her a stool, but after waiting for a long time no one paid any attention to her.

Huaichun and Woqiu originally hated her, and Chuqing, the only one who liked her, was transferred out of the inner courtyard by Chu Yizhao today.

Chu Yingxue stood there awkwardly for a long time, and Chu Yizhao just looked at her innocently with his big eyes, waiting for her to say next.

Thinking of what she wanted to say, Chu Yingxue held her breath and said, "Sister, my face has gotten much better recently, all thanks to you."

"Oh"

Oh what, I asked you oh what!

Chu Yingxue was frantic inside, but she still managed to be patient.

She smiled innocently and said, "It's my sister's birthday gift. Xue'er is not feeling well and hasn't wished my sister a happy birthday yet."

"Um"

"... "

Chu Yizhao didn't react, just looked at her quietly. Chu Yingxue's smile froze on her face, and she felt a little confused.

Normally, when she came over, Chu Yizhao would pull her aside to talk about some boudoir talk, showing off his rare treasures, silks and satins, and birthday gifts, which were so big, but she didn't even mention them.

She was so cold. Did Third Brother's words make her defensive?

Looking at Chu Yizhao's innocent face, Chu Yingxue secretly laughed at herself for being too suspicious. Chu Yizhao was just a fool with excessive sympathy. He would not even bear to step on an ant to death, so how could he have such thoughts.

"Sister, are you blaming Xue'er? Xue'er was really sick that day and couldn't get up." Chu Yingxue twisted her handkerchief, her eyes slightly red, and touched her face sadly.

When Xueer was at home, the scars on her face were too hard to show to others, my mother didn’t like me, and I never even had a bowl of longevity noodles.”

As she spoke, she seemed to realize something, and quickly wiped her tears with a handkerchief, forcing out a brilliant smile.

"Look, I'm crying again. I'm making a fool of myself. Let's say something happy. You must have received a lot of good things for your birthday. Why don't you take them out and let me open my eyes?"
