"I refuse to be a concubine. If I must be someone, it will be the only woman by your side, your beloved. Remember that?"
Her voice was so sweet, so soft, and so heartwarming.
Ever since her country and family were destroyed, Lian Qiao, due to her straightforward nature, had been sold off repeatedly.
Some people may seem to be your close sisters, but secretly, they harm you without hesitation.
And no one ever told her these precious and weighty words, words that only parents would typically impart.
Lian Qiao felt ashamed more than ever; her face turned red, and the scars on her face became even more noticeable.
She wasn’t afraid of arguing with others, but she was afraid when someone treated her well, as it left her at a loss, unsure of how to respond.
Yun Chunnuan picked one of the reddest beauty soaps from a pile of handmade ones, took Lian Qiao’s hand, and placed it in her palm. "This soap is for washing your face. It has silk, milk, and petals added to it, all materials that can make your skin delicate and smooth.
Remember to wash your face with it once in the morning and once at night, and the scars on your face will surely heal soon."
This soap had Blood Beads specifically added to it.
However, to avoid trouble, Yun Chunnuan described it as petals.
Lian Qiao was deeply moved, clutching the beauty soap tightly in her hand. She was so excited that her breathing became rapid.
But she wasn’t good at expressing herself and didn’t know how to say thank you.
"Little Yun Yun, I..."
"Alright, hurry back and think carefully about how to calm your He Lang down. But if he truly doesn’t like you, don’t be too persistent. Keep trying!"
The Little Princess gently clenched her fist, cheering her on.
Lian Qiao was never someone who cried easily. She was strong enough not to have cried even when her face was scarred.
But now, for the first time, she realized that being moved could make one’s eyes heat up and nose tingle.
The Little Princess was truly wonderful, really, really wonderful.
In terms of looks, character, and everything else, even if Lian Qiao were to live another ten years, she couldn’t be as clear-hearted as her.
She understands the ways of the world without being worldly, knows how to be smooth-talking without being slick, and is aware of everything without speaking of everything.
More charming than anyone she had ever met, whether man or woman!
Even the He Lang she couldn’t forget paled in comparison.
"Little Yun Yun, I truly hate that I’m not a man. Otherwise, I’d definitely snatch you from the General to make you my wife!"
On the couch, someone almost couldn’t stay lying down.
But with Little Jiao Jiao’s eyes glaring at him, he obediently lay back down.
Yun Chunnuan couldn’t help but laugh, "You should really go pursue your He Lang. As for me, I’m destined to marry no one but my husband in this life.
If you ever have trouble figuring something out, come to me. I may not be able to help much, but I can offer you some analysis, as a bystander’s perspective is often clearer."
"Alright! As you say, I’ll go back and use this beauty soap first. Once the scars are really gone, I’ll find He Lang! It’s happily decided!"
Lian Qiao stood up joyfully, "Little Yun Yun, thank you! By the way, the dishes you sent me on New Year’s Eve were super delicious. Next time you have some, be sure to call me~~
I’ll be going now, you take care!"
Lian Qiao couldn’t wait to go back and try the beauty soap.
Perhaps even Lian Helang didn’t know what the medicine was that removed the scars on her face...
But at that time, Lian Qiao, groggy, figured it out.
The Little Princess took out that red bead, and she understood.
But it was the Little Princess’s secret, and since she didn’t want to say it, Lian Qiao absolutely wouldn’t let anyone know!
But... her face was saved!
Sob sob sob!!!
She thought she would have to live the rest of her life with a face full of scars, Little Yun Yun was too good!
Among all those white soaps, only this one red piece was clearly prepared especially for her!
Such an outstanding Little Princess... why isn’t she a man!!!
Lian Qiao rushed to the door but suddenly stopped, turning back to look at the pretty little girl who was seeing her off. "If one day the General dares to wrong you, I’ll fight him to the end, even at the cost of my life!"
With that, she left.
On the couch, once she was gone, the General finally couldn’t stay lying down!
He sat up straight from the couch, "That fierce woman is really bold! She even dares to compete with me for a wife!"
Yelyu Lie felt that life was becoming difficult!
His little darling had too much charm! No matter whether it’s her exterior or interior, anyone who gets in contact with her would be captivated!
What should he do? He had a frightening thought of locking her in the house, never to let her see anyone!
What worried him even more was...
Earlier in the year... there was a report from the Central Plains, saying they planned to prepare a grand wedding for his little darling, and once the date was set, that Great Xia’s Regent King would come in person to congratulate...
