Inside her courtyard, Li Rong was silently staring out of the window of her room when her maid knocked on the door.
She came out of her trance and allowed the maid to enter.
"Madam, Third Young Miss is outside and she wishes to meet you."
Li Rong's eyes were blank for a moment before they suddenly gained the understanding of what the maid had just said.
Li Caihong was outside her room.
Li Rong's eyes widened and she immediately ran out of her room.
Her eyes were filled with tears when she saw Li Caihong standing outside her room with her maid.
After how long, she had seen her daughter.
"Caihong…"
A tear slid out of her eyes as she stepped forward and cupped her daughter's face which was covered by a cloth.
Only her eyes were visible and the rest of her face had been covered very nicely.
However, Li Rong couldn't find anything nice in this.
She didn't say anything to Li Caihong about the clothes. Li Caihong has decided to step out of her room. It was already a very big thing.
She could understand. It will take her a little time to accept the new truth of herself …her face.
"Come inside, Caihong. Since when do you need Mother's permission to step inside Mother's room?"
Saying this, Li Rong pulled her daughter inside her room by her arm.
Li Caihong stopped the maid to accompany her when she was at the door and hence she went alone inside the room with her mother.
Once both of them were inside, she turned around to lock the door.
Li Rong looked at her actions with a confused frown on her forehead.
"Caihong…"
She whispered in confusion when Li Caihing turned around.
"Mother, Caihong needs to talk to you about something important."
Li Rong immediately nodded her head when she heard this and both of them sat together on the bed.
A few moments later, Li Rong's eyes looked bright as she looked at her daughter.
"Caihong, you mean to say that the ointment made by Li Rui can heal your face?"
Li Caihong nodded her head vigorously and said
"Yes, Mother. That Yi Lei…does Mother remember how horrifying scar he had on his face?"
When Li Rong nodded her head, Li Caihong continued
"He also used the ointment given by Li Rui and now his scar is not even visible from far away."
Li Rong's eyes widened with surprise and shock and she asked in a surprise-filled voice.
"Is Li Rui that expert in the medical field then?"
Li Caihong frowned under the cloth that covered her face.
Obviously, she didn't like to hear Li Rui's praise but she knew that there was something more important to do at this moment so she stayed silent.
Li Rong, on the other hand, frowned deeply the next moment and said
"If Li Rui knows about such an ointment, then why did she not suggest it for you? In fact, she should have given that ointment to you."
Li Caihong again didn't say anything at this question.
She never told her mother that Li Rui had actually sent her the ointment but she never used it and threw it away.
And now she wanted the same ointment.
The wheels in Li Rong's mind were turning faster. Thinking that Li Rui didn't give the ointment to Li Caihong, she thought that Li Rui was also angry at Li Caihong.
Hence, she looked at her daughter and said
"Caihong, Mother doesn't think that Li Rui will give that ointment to you…after all…"
Li Rong didn't continue her words but it was understandable what she wanted to say.
A moment later, Li Rong tried to comfort her daughter.
"Caihong, don't worry. Mother will look for the best physician in Xin. I will ask your father today…
Li Caihong clenched her fists and she suddenly removed the cloth from her face when Li Rong was still speaking.
A gasp escaped from Li Rong's lips and she stopped amidst her words when she saw her daughter's face.
She didn't want to show her shock to her daughter but she could not suppress it. After all, she was seeing the scar on her face after so many days.
The scar ran from her forehead to her chin and then till her collarbone.
It looked horrible.
"Caihong…"
Li Rong sobbed hard as she raised her trembling fingers to touch the horrible scar.
Li Caihong's jaw clenched as she witnessed the fear and shock in her mother's eyes.
"Mother, I need that ointment only."
There was craziness in her eyes as she held her mother's hand and said coldly.
"Mother, you need to arrange only that ointment for me…I want to treat my face. Only that ointment can heal my face. You need to arrange it for me otherwise I will …I will take my life in front of you Mother."
Li Rong's eyes widened and she couldn't even say anything for a moment,
Because she could see that her daughter was not lying at all.
She gulped in fear as she held her daughter's hand with her other hand and said gently.
"Why are you saying such words, Caihong? Of course, Mother will arrange it for you. Li Rui…she is your sister. She is supposed to give the cure if she knows it. She would not be an ideal sister if she doesn't do so. And it was her husband only because of whom you got this scar."
"You don't need to worry at all. Mother will go to Xi Manor today's evening only and ask Li Rui to give that ointment for you, alright?"
"Just don't talk about taking your life…"
Li Rong cried as she said her last words and hugged her daughter.
Li Caihong sighed in relief.
A smirk graced her lips as she hugged her mother back.
Now she will get her beautiful face back.
Was it not Li Rui because of whom she had gotten this scar?
Now only she will help her remove it!
