state and its people, fretting over things that might never happen."No, this old man must save the little girl's happiness. You all get out of my way, I'm going in to give her medicine.""Oh no, oh no...Chapter Thirty

Master Chen ...

Chen Zixuan was taken aback, this...this was what kind of face…

That's terrifying...

The skin on this girl's face below her eyes was mashed, and her lips were slashed open with a deep gash. Although there was no blood flowing now, the wound on her face still looked red and terrifying.

The woman on the ground had defiance in her eyes, a fury simmering beneath. She silently pulled her veil back over her face and, leaning against the wall, slowly rose to her feet. “Young lady,” she said, “you’ve seen my face. Will you keep your promise now”

Chen Zixuan came back to his senses from the shock: "Twenty-nine! This... Miss, what's your name"

"It doesn't matter, just get my money back."

Chen Zixuan nodded at twenty-nine, and twenty-nine leaped to chase those ruffians. Not long after, twenty-nine came back. He handed the money to Chen Zixuan and then disappeared again...

He said he didn't want to clean up the mess for the girl. As for the girl, it's better to stay away from her if possible.

"I'll give you the silver back. I'm sorry, I didn't mean to insult you. I was just... a little curious about your face," but Chen Zixuan didn't say it out loud.

"It's fine." Anyway, everyone in the Xiang Mansion acted like they were seeing a ghost whenever they saw her.

That woman, after bowing to her, was about to take her leave.

"Wait, your wound…"

"It's fine, I'm used to it anyway. It's just a little more serious this time..." the woman said softly.

"Huh How could this be You...weren't you beaten by your family" Chen Zixuan had seen those palace intrigues and the struggles between concubines in wealthy families on television. Wasn't it always about disfiguring a young girl or having her defiled by someone

As a woman, Chen Zixuan, despite crossing over from modern times to ancient China, has never been mistreated. She also knows that sometimes her words might sound strange to the people in the王府, and they might look at her differently, but at least they haven't bullied her.

Although Ruitian Yu would yell at her all day long, he never actually tried to chop off her head.

While Chen Zixuan was happy for himself, he also felt deep sympathy for this woman.

That woman didn't answer Chen Zixuan's question, she just turned around wanting to leave.

Chen Zixuan grasped her hand: “Miss, our meeting is a kind of fate. I know a doctor... uh… physician. Why don’t you let him take a look at you”

“Really” The woman’s eyes shone with excitement, but they slowly dimmed. “But, but… I don’t have silver. This silver is only enough to buy medicine for my mother and what we need to live on. I don’t have any extra silver…”

"It's alright, that big madam is very kind. If he really insists on taking your money, I have a way to handle it."

What can we do

"I traded his medicine for my master's. My master's medicine is very valuable, he'll definitely be tempted, don't worry! Besides, I can also fool him, hehe."

"Miss, this is our first meeting. Why would you help me I... I have nothing to repay you with... If Miss doesn't mind, you can use a whip to beat me when you are angry, I can vent your anger for you..."

"Huh Beat you with a whip Why would I beat you with a whip Could it be..."

Chen Zixuan quickly grabbed her hand, flipping open the wide sleeves. Oh my god, they were all red and swollen welts, some places even broken with flesh spilling out.

Chen Zixuan looked at the woman in front of him. She should be younger than him, right How could anyone be so cruel to her...

The woman lowered her head, retracted her hand, and remained silent.

"Who beat you up like this Are you kidding me, did someone slam your brain in a door!" Chen Zixuan was furious...

But the woman didn't say anything, she just bowed her head.

"You didn't fight back You should fight back! Was it someone in your family who beat you like this"

The woman still remained silent, her head bowed.

"You're talking, aren't you Why aren't you speaking Are you always so submissive"

“Miss, if there’s nothing else, I must be going. My mother is waiting to take her medicine. And… would you please ask for me, could the doctor in your mouth see my mother My mother has been taking medicine for a long time but it hasn't worked. If that doctor is willing to treat my mother, no matter what I do, I am willing.”

By the end, her voice was trembling with emotion.

"Where's your mother"

“This… we have a rule in our house. My mother and I are only allowed to go out to buy medicine, and we can’t let a doctor come to see us.”

"Damn it, what kind of person is this, so disgusting!" Chen Zixuan saw that the girl stopped talking again, so he had to stop scolding. "Can you get your mother out then"

“This… My family didn’t say anything because my mother has been bedridden with illness and can’t get up.”

Then bring your mother out.

"But..." The woman's brow furrowed, deep in thought.

"What else can you possibly say Are you going to let your mother end up like this too These injuries are bearable when you're young, but when you get older, you'll regret it. Your mother even more so. If she gets beaten, it'll be harder to heal."

"Alright! Please follow me, young lady."

"Twenty-nine, you go call a carriage!"

But, young lady, the twenty-ninth is supposed to be at your side for close protection...

"Okay, I'll wait here for you, right"

"That...young lady, this is a dark guard watch post. If you encounter danger, just blow this whistle..."

"Alright, alright, enough with the chatter, just go."

"Retirement at the age of twenty-nine!"

When she saw that Twenty-Nine was gone, the woman knelt before Chen Zixuan and kowtowed heavily: "Miss's great kindness and virtue, Ka’er will never forget. If Miss needs Ka’er anywhere, Ka’er will definitely do her best for Miss."

"What are you doing" Chen Zixuan jumped up in fright. "Get up quickly, get up quickly! You don't have to thank me, the carriage was hired on the 29th, the money belongs to someone else, and I didn't cure your illness. What is there for you to thank me for"

Ke'er smiled, but her face hurt when she moved it. She frowned again and then said after a moment; "Miss, you are so kind. Without you, I don't think they would have helped me. But Miss, I... I'm afraid I'll cause you trouble."

"What's the big deal This girl isn't afraid of trouble, don't worry..." It's just a hassle anyway, and it's Rui Tianling's problem. Whether I'm here or not at that time won't matter.

"May I ask for your name, young lady"

"My name is Chen Zixuan, you can call me Xiao Chen or Xiaoxuan."

Then I'll just call you Chen Gong...

"Don't, don't. That sounds like an old man's name. Just call me Xiao Xuan..."

"Huan En,"

"You can still call me Miss Chen..."

"Master Chen..."

"Um..."ght."What else can you possibly say Are you going to let your mother end up like this too These injuries are bearable when you're young, but when you get older, you'll regret it. Your mother even more...
