The Princess's Deadly Daily Life

Since Xu Ba was staying in the manor temporarily, anyone who had a headache or fever did not have to go out of the manor to ask for a doctor.

On this day, Qiao Xian sat in front of the mirror and applied ointment. Although the scabs on her face had fallen off, there was still a faint mark. She stayed in the house for the past half month and did not go out, strictly avoiding light.

The maid looked at her in the bronze mirror. She said that she used to be a piece of rough stone with strange shapes, but now she is a beautiful jade with exquisite polishing. She smiled stupidly and said, "It turns out that the young lady has such a beautiful appearance."

Qiao Xian blinked, glanced at her, and asked, "Have you asked Xu Ba if my wound needs to be protected from sunlight recently?"

The maid replied, "I remember Xu Ba said earlier that you don't need to avoid sunlight after the scab forms in about a week, but if you want to recover better, it's best to avoid sunlight."

Qiao Xian stroked her smooth cheek, sighing softly, "This scar was originally caused by Xu Ba. I didn't expect that he would heal it now."

"Young lady, you forgot." The attendant recalled the situation at that time and was a little worried for Xu Ba. "I still remember that you forced him to do this. To be honest... he had no choice."

Qiao Xian glanced at her and said coldly, "So it's my fault if you say so?"

The attendant was slightly surprised that he had spoken for him, and said helplessly: "Of course it's not the young lady's fault. As a doctor, he naturally has to overcome his weaknesses. You are also sacrificing yourself to do the experiment for him..."

Qiao Xian tapped her forehead hard and couldn't help but scold, "You are so useless. Just because I questioned you like this, you immediately changed sides and joined me! I thought you would say more for him so that I would look up to you."

The maid was confused and couldn't understand what Qiao Xian was thinking. She hated herself for not being the worm in her stomach.

Then the maid thought about it and lowered her head, saying, "It's all my fault for not being good at talking. I'll just stand by your side next time."

Qiao Xian rolled her eyes, she just felt that talking to the maid was really boring, but she remembered that the farm had been run for a month, and it was time to write letters back to ask the merchants under her to prepare the accounts so that she could go back and check them at any time.

It was said that her grandfather had been buying up various shops in Luoyang for the past six months, and the young men in Yanqi Village had jobs to do. He also issued a strict order that they were not allowed to do anything that was against the will of heaven and earth, otherwise they would be severely punished.

Everyone works diligently and dares not overstep the boundaries.

She often managed the various businesses for Bahar, and it was not until a month ago when most of the businesses had stabilized that she remembered the scar on her face.

After Qiao Xian finished writing the letter, she handed it to the maid and asked her to mail it.

As soon as the maid walked out of the courtyard, she saw Xu Ba outside the courtyard. He was like this every time, looking sneaky. When he saw her, he asked about Qiao Xian's situation today.

Therefore, Qiao Xian and Xu Ba had not met for follow-up visits for so many days, and had to rely on Xu Ba to inquire.

The maid held the letter in her hand and said helplessly, "Come with me and take a look yourself?"

Xu Ba took three steps back and said with a smile, "No need, I... I just don't want to ask." Then he turned around and was about to leave.

The maid stopped him and answered him truthfully: "At present, the scar on my young lady's face has faded a lot, but there is still a faint mark like a white line."

Xu Ba paused, feeling relieved. Suddenly remembering something, he took out a bottle of ointment from his sleeve and handed it to her, saying, "Please continue to apply the ointment. It will be almost unnoticeable in another week."

The maid took the ointment and said, "I thank Doctor Xu on behalf of our young lady! Now I have to go out and send her a letter, so I won't talk to you any more."

The maidservant went back to doing her own thing after saying this. Xu Ba was about to leave when he was suddenly startled.

Qiao Xian was seen walking outside wearing a veil. It was snowing lightly and the sun was shining. She looked up at the sky, closed her eyes, and felt the sunlight and snow melting on her eyelids.

Xu Ba was so frightened by his own dazed state that his face turned red. His heart was beating fast. He then slapped his forehead and turned to leave.

"Xu Ba! What are you doing there stealthily?" Qiao Xian saw him and spoke quickly.

"I... I didn't do anything." Xu Ba didn't know why, even though he came prepared, he was still incoherent after being asked such a simple question by her.

"What are you doing if you're not doing anything?" She raised the corners of her mouth. She hadn't been out for half a month. When she went out, she saw Xu Ba. She found it very interesting.

Xu Ba exhaled and said seriously, "I came here to deliver the ointment just now. I have already given it to your maid, so..."

"So the reason you're still here is to see how I'm recovering, right?" Qiao Xian asked.

Xu Ba nodded, shook his head, and nodded again...

Qiao Xian chuckled, then walked to the flower vines where there was no sunlight, took off her veil, and said to him, "Then take a look at how long it will take me to get better."

He had no choice but to lower his head and walk closer. He looked up and replied, "It's almost healed. You still need to use the ointment for a week, and it will almost be the same color as the surrounding skin."

"That's good." Qiao Xian felt relieved after saying that. She looked up and saw that Xu Ba's face was red, which was very unnatural. She then realized that Xu Ba had a handsome face and a tall stature, which made him even more pleasing to the eye.

But this pretty face has not changed at all after all the hardships. I couldn't help but ask, "I remember you said that your parents died, so you inherited your ancestors' legacy and went out to practice medicine?"

Xu Ba nodded. "I was young at that time, and most of the people I met on the road were poor, so I often treated them for free. But Xu Ba still remembers that after I ran out of dry food, I fainted under the scorching sun, and it was Madam Qiao who took me back and... saved me."

Qiao Xian sneered. She didn't expect him to remember it so clearly. She then said, "You remember almost everything, but have you forgotten why I saved you?"

Xu Ba thought for a moment and said, "I remember that there were many children in a village in Yongning County, Luoyang, who had pea sores. However, they had no money to treat them after the flood. But it happened that my ancestors had a similar secret ointment, so I continued to practice medicine for free. As a result, I accidentally cured them. Later, I fainted on the way out, and when I woke up, I saw Madam Qiao..."

Before he could finish his words, Qiao Xian interrupted him and said, "It's good that you know. I saved you because you are useful to me. Otherwise, why would I save you? There were thousands of victims dying on the roadside after the disaster. If I saved them all, wouldn't I have to open a charity?"

She vaguely remembered that Xu Ba cured the child's pea sores. After she rescued him from the brink of death, she tried the ancestral ointment, but it was completely useless!

Xu Ba nodded, but the corners of his lips were still slightly curved, "But no matter what the reason is, Madam Qiao is also Xu Ba's savior."

Qiao Xian looked a little unnatural, then she put on her veil and smiled, "Anyway, we don't owe each other anything now."

After saying that, he turned and went back to his room.

But Xu Ba murmured, "No... I still owe my life to my wife."

Before he could finish this sentence, Qiao Xian had already gone into the house.
