The Chen family was not far from the West Lake, she lowered her head to avoid the crowd and ran all the way back. As soon as she entered the house, she saw her personal maid, Tao Hong, circling anxiously.

"pink?"

Seeing her, Tao Hong ran over quickly, looked around from top to bottom, inside and out, and was greatly relieved when she saw that she was fine: "Miss, you are finally back."

Chen Qingcheng waved his hands slightly: "Don't worry, I'm fine."

Tao Hong glanced left and right, and whispered, "Why don't you take Tao Hong with you when you go out?"

Chen Qingcheng didn't respond to this, her face was a little unnatural, fortunately it was blocked by the veil, she was going to go to the mansion, but Taohong didn't let her go, she stretched out her hand to give her a hand.

"Miss, those dudes can't spit ivory out of their mouths. Naturally, they don't know what is true, good and beautiful. Don't take it to heart."

"Tao Hong, I'm fine." Chen Qingcheng said reluctantly.

"Miss……"

"Huh?" Seeing Tao Hong hesitated, Chen Qingcheng asked patiently, "What's wrong?"

"Madam has heard about the ink painting workshop."

She was not surprised by this, her mother Li Xiangshan was a powerful person, what news could she not hide from her?But what Taohong said next made her suddenly frightened.

"Even Lin Wenxiao came to laugh at you. Some people said that you couldn't accept the excitement and ran to the West Lake. Tao Hong and the servants in the mansion went out to look for it for a long time. I was afraid that you really couldn't think about it. Madam went to the Lin mansion angrily when she found out. Didn't come back."

Chen Qingcheng suddenly had a headache.

If her mother was involved in this matter, it would be endless.

"No, I have to go to the Lin Mansion."

"Hey, Miss," Tao Hong hastily pulled her back and persuaded, "Master Lin is also a scholar, Madam will give him some kind of face, but if you go, I'm afraid this matter will become serious again."

Chen Qingcheng thought about it carefully, and there was indeed something wrong. Others didn't know, but she knew what a powerful woman her mother was.

Li Xiangshan was born in a family of martial arts, with beautiful appearance and extraordinary skills, but Chen Qingcheng did not inherit her mother's advantages, she was ugly and her limbs were ugly, and the relationship between mother and daughter was very bad.

To say that the important reason for this is still the grievances of the previous generation.

Li Xiangshan had a lover in the past, it was Gu Boyi who is now known as the "Jade Face Young Master". At that time, the two had a slight misunderstanding and their relationship collapsed. Li Xiangshan married the Chen family in Hangzhou in a fit of anger. The two have no further contact.

Five or six years later, the Chen family also went to celebrate the birthday party of a big man in the world, and they happened to meet Gu Boyi.

That person brought his family members, and the group was a very conspicuous existence.

Gu Boyi himself has gained both fame and fortune, his wife is a lady, gentle and virtuous, the husband and wife are harmonious, and they have a pair of sensible children. This is simply the beautiful life that everyone pursues.

As for the Chen family, the elders of the Chen family went early. The young master of the Chen family was a man of extremely weak character. He died early within two years of getting married. That temper gave her the title "Mrs. Iron Face" to ridicule her.

Comparing the two, I don't know what Li Xiangshan thinks, maybe she loses face, and feels that the Chen family and Chen Qingcheng have lost face. Anyway, Chen Qingcheng's life has become difficult since then, and people outside hate him. She and her family despised her too.

Chen Qingcheng was a little sad, but there was nothing he could do. He said helplessly to Taohong: "I'm afraid Wen Xiao will hate me even more from today on."

"Miss..." Tao Hong couldn't help tearing up when she said this, she knew how gentle and kind her lady was, but it was a pity that God was unfair and had to let the lady have an ugly birthmark on her beautiful face .

Yes, half of Chen Qingcheng's face is truly stunning, but the other half of her face is terrifying. The birthmark occupies her right cheek, which is dark red overall, and there are some unknown things growing on it. I was disgusted when I saw it.

After Jiang Mu left West Lake, he walked to the Lin Mansion in the city.

Here, he resumed his old job and became a doctor again. Due to his excellent medical skills, he gained a good reputation in Hangzhou City within half a month, and also attracted the attention of the master of the Lin family to invite someone to come to his door.

The Lin family is a scholarly family, and Master Lin is the principal of Guanyue Academy. He has read a lot of poetry and books, is well-educated, and has countless disciples. Even many civil officials in the current dynasty came from his sect. He is really a very great Confucian.

When Jiang Mu came to Lin's mansion, he thought he would meet an elegant gentleman, but the scene in the courtyard was not so elegant. A lady in red glared at him, and Master Lin next to him repeatedly apologized.

"If something happens to my daughter, I will make you look good!"

After listening to it, Jiang Mu probably understood something.

He said: "That Miss Chen should go home now."

The lady in red said coldly, "Who are you?"

"I'm going down to Jiangmu."

"Jiang Mu? I know you," the lady in red sized him up a few times, "Have you seen Qingcheng? Where did you meet? When did you meet?"

"West Lake, just now."

"What was she doing there?"

"Let's commit suicide."

Good guy, he threw himself into the river, and the lady in red started to curse angrily when she heard it. Jiang Mu waited for a while before the lady could curse enough and left. Master Lin looked at her back with a haggard look as if he had aged ten years.

"Master Lin should pay more attention to his body."

The other party said with a wry smile, "I made Dr. Jiang laugh."

Jiang Mu shook his head to feel his pulse, the pulse...

"Master Lin, it's better to calm down his anger first."

The other party continued with a wry smile and said, "I made Dr. Jiang laugh."

Then his veins were still twitching, his mood was unbalanced, his stomach was full of anger, and he wished to rush out directly with a knife in his hand, not at all the demeanor that a literati should have.

Jiang Mu withdrew his hand slightly, got up to take a pen, and prescribed a few doses of calming medicine on the paper: "Master Lin, take some medicine for nourishing the spirit first, and I will bid farewell today."

"Doctor Jiang stay here." Master Lin stared at the door, his face wanted to be amiable but he couldn't control his ferocity. "Can I take a rest in the mansion today? I still have something to ask."

This hideousness was definitely not aimed at him, Jiang Mu nodded lightly and said, "Okay."

At dusk, Lin Wenxiao was humming a little song he had listened to in the Dragon and Phoenix Building. He stepped into the gate of the Lin Mansion with one foot, and saw Master Lin sitting on the chair head-on. His face was gloomy and ugly, and his eyes were fixed on he.

Next to it was a pile of sticks and ropes, and a row of servants stood behind them, all frowning.

Lin Wenxiao was shocked at the moment, what kind of formation is this?

Just as he was hesitating whether to put his front feet back and run away, he saw a young man he didn't know standing behind the chair, and shook his head slightly at him, signaling him not to act rashly.

A man who knows the current affairs is a hero, he will stand still...

"You still know how to come back!" Master Lin suddenly snapped, and this scolding in the silent Lin Mansion was like thunder on the ground.

Lin Wenxiao was frightened and covered his heart. Before he could calm down, the servants approached him more and more.

Lin Wenxiao quickly waved his hands: "What's the matter, Grandpa? Look at the situation today, can grandson ask me before I get beaten, what did I do again?"

After he finished speaking, he thought about it. He really didn't do anything in the past two days. He never did anything like fighting, stealing, or committing crimes. Could it be that he won 100 taels of silver from the fat man next door Wang Er yesterday? The bastard came to sue?

Thinking of Fatty Wang Er's fat body and big greasy face, coupled with his tongue-in-cheek temperament, Lin Wenxiao became more certain, and muttered: "It's really ugly people who do more tricks!"

"You know what you have done!" Master Lin cursed angrily, picked up a thick wooden stick and swept towards him.

Lin Wenxiao turned around and hid, quickly quibbling: "Fatty Wang Er lost the money himself, and his grandson didn't snatch it. Besides, he was the one who made the bet first. How can you blame me?"

Master Lin was startled and then cursed: "You actually went to gamble?"

Lin Wenxiao was stunned for a moment, and regretted it in his heart!

Master Lin was furious and beat him several times, but unfortunately he couldn't touch Lin Wenxiao's clothes. It was because this kid was running too fast. He took a breath and gestured to the people behind him...

Lin Wenxiao, who was bound into a silkworm chrysalis, was looking at the chrysalis on the ground. Looking at the thick sticks not far away, he felt a panic in his heart, and his body wriggled slowly, trying to escape from the Lin mansion.

Master Lin looked at his appearance, shook his head and sighed, "Why are you messing with the girl from the Chen family?"

Lin Wenxiao, who had been writhing in disbelief, suddenly stopped moving. He asked in a low voice, "...what's wrong with Ms. Chen?"

Master Lin seemed to have aged a lot suddenly, with a tired expression: "You threw yourself into the river, but fortunately nothing happened, otherwise you would have committed a serious crime."

Lin Wenxiao fell silent on the ground.

Master Lin tried a little bit and said: "Mrs. Chen came to the house today to question, she only has that daughter, but the old man only has a grandson like you, Wen Xiao, how could you become so stubborn, what should I call grandpa?"

Thinking of Li Xiangshan's eyes full of resentment in the afternoon, Master Lin felt dizzy for a while. Seeing Lin Wenxiao lying on the ground without saying a word, he gritted his teeth and said cruelly, "Hit!"

The servants in the courtyard immediately picked up the wooden stick and hit him hard one after another.

Lin Wenxiao was beaten until he couldn't hold on to the stick for a few minutes. Master Lin was still a little distressed at first, but his heart became harder when he heard it: "It's because I usually dote on you too much that I have raised you to be fearless all day long. He's a bastard, idles around all day and makes friends with crooked friends, ignorant and incompetent! Give me a hard hit again!"

The beating lasted for a long time, and finally ended with Master Lin coughing suddenly, Jiang Mu was watching the farce, Master Lin pointed to Lin Wenxiao quietly, turned and left.

Jiang Mu understood that there was indeed another purpose for letting him stay here.

Lin Wenxiao thought he could withstand the beating, but he underestimated his ability to bear it. It was too painful. Those servants and Master Lin had left, and he didn't dare to move. After a while, he just raised his head , and saw that young man whom he didn't know approaching towards him, Lin Wenxiao begged for mercy, "Don't, don't, don't hit me, I really hurt."

Jiang Mu stretched out his hand to pull Lin Wenxiao up, who looked miserable, and untied him. Lin Wenxiao got up tremblingly, with bruises all over his body, but it was not serious. Except for the real swelling and pain in his buttocks, there was nothing serious about it.

"Thank you, brother, I'm here, Lin Wenxiao." Seeing that the other party was not malicious, Lin Wenxiao grinned and said.

"Jiangmu."

"Huh? Jiang Mu? Are you the genius doctor Jiang from Hangzhou City?"

Jiang Mu didn't respond to these words, there was no one in the courtyard at this time, he looked at Lin Wenxiao and suddenly said softly: "Before I came to Lin's residence, I met that Miss Chen."

Lin Wenxiao raised her head abruptly: "Really? Is she okay?"

Jiang Mu: "I rescued her ashore, Miss Chen's condition is fine, she should have gone back by now."

"It's good to go back, it's good to be fine, it's my fault."

Jiang Mu was neither surprised nor puzzled after hearing this, and still had that indifferent look, as if he didn't care about anything.

Lin Wenxiao was discouraged all of a sudden, maybe the other party gave him a feeling of closeness, so he poured out his thoughts: "I didn't expect Miss Chen to choose to commit suicide, and I didn't want to tease her, really. I just It turns out that they plan to scare her with a big dog, most likely to bite her skirt, and then they will mock her for losing her virginity, you have seen her, you know, Miss Chen has a bad appearance."

Jiang Mu looked at him and said nothing, Lin Wenxiao continued: "Because they liked to bully her since they were young, but I think this time the idea is really too much, I thought if I were to tease her, it should, it should not let her She was so embarrassing... But I didn't expect that it would be even worse if it was me."

Thinking of Chen Qingcheng's particularly sad face that day, Lin Wenxiao suddenly felt very uncomfortable.

In the evening, Lin Wenxiao saw Master Lin and said in a low voice, "Grandson will go to Chen's house tomorrow and come to apologize."

Master Lin sighed: "It should be like this."

*

Li Xiangshan came back near the evening, Chen Qingcheng went to pay her respects, but the other party didn't even give her a glance, so she had to finish the obeisance honestly according to the rules, and then hide in her room in desperation.

After seeing someone, she realized that she was being self-indulgent again. Her mother never cared about her life and death. She was afraid that today was just an excuse to vent her anger out of boredom. Thinking of the Lin family suffering an innocent disaster for her, Chen Qingcheng felt so guilty Unable to speak, he tossed and turned all night, and did not fall asleep until dawn.

She slept very restlessly this time, and her mind was dizzy, and it was also in the dream. Chen Qingcheng felt that she had fallen into the West Lake again. The lake was boundless and she couldn't see the end. She couldn't get rid of the struggle, her body sank little by little, the air became thinner and thinner, she wanted to ask for help but she didn't know who to ask for help, one face after another flashed in her mind, and finally she freezes on a strange pale face A pale countenance.

Chen Qingcheng sat up abruptly, sweating profusely. The feeling of dying made her feel scared. At this moment, there was a knock on the door outside.

"Miss, Miss is not well."

Chen Qingcheng hurriedly grabbed a piece of clothing and put it on her body, got out of bed and opened the door.

She has seen it so many times since she was a child, and suddenly looking directly at that face still made Taohong feel unnatural for a moment, but she was not afraid.

"Miss, Lin Wenxiao is here."

Chen Qingcheng covered her mouth, her eyes widened, apparently very surprised by the news.

"Why is he here."

"The people in the front yard said that Mr. Lin came early in the morning to inquire about your situation, Miss. He heard that you were fine, so he wanted to come into the mansion to apologize for what happened yesterday, but Madam seems to have ordered that no one is allowed in. , Mr. Lin has been waiting at the door, and..."

"And what, hurry up and say it." Chen Qingcheng urged.

"Mr. Lin's posture today is very awkward. I heard that he was served by Master Lin's family law last night." Tao Hong replied in a low voice.

Chen Qingcheng felt very uncomfortable. She and Lin Wenxiao were childhood sweethearts. They grew up together and naturally knew the Lin family style. When their mother came to make a fuss, they really dared not even think about the consequences.

"Miss, what should we do?"

"I'm going to change clothes, let's go to the gate of the house to have a look."

Chen Qingcheng quickly went back to the house to change clothes, Tao Hong quickly brought hot water for her, and after a brief wash, she hurried to the gate, but she was stopped by the servant as soon as she reached the front yard. It looked like Li Xiangshan's order. The servants stood in a row, and she couldn't get out.
