Hearing that Wangyue had no fixed abode and usually took shelter in dilapidated temples or under bridge arches, Su Yuanyuan invited her to stay at ease in the inn. Then she was about to leave.
She redid her disguise on her face. In the blink of an eye, she transformed from a beautiful young girl into an ordinary-looking woman, which greatly amazed Wangyue.
When Su Yuanyuan was leaving, Wangyue got up and saw her out of the door. Watching the girl's figure getting farther and farther away, a sudden sense of reluctance welled up in Wangyue's heart.
She knew she shouldn't trust a stranger she had never met before, but somehow, she felt very close to this extremely beautiful little girl and couldn't help but want to stay with her for a while longer.
Even more, she had a natural trust and affection for Su Yuanyuan.
She believed that Su Yuanyuan wouldn't harm her.
Su Yuanyuan returned to her room. Pushing open the door, she saw Cang Xuan. He was sitting at the table fiddling with mechanisms. Obviously, he was waiting for her.
At the sight of him, the emotions that the girl had been suppressing in her heart all burst out. She walked forward and threw herself into the man's arms, tightly hugging his waist and burying her face in his chest without saying a word.
Before long, Cang Xuan felt a patch of wet heat on his chest.
She was crying.
Putting his big hand around the girl's waist, Cang Xuan gently patted her back and asked, "What happened? What did she tell you?"
"Brother Yunjian, it turns out that we were both harmed by the same person," the girl sobbed in a muffled voice. "She's none other than my elder sister!"
The girl was crying so hard that she could hardly catch her breath. In front of Wangyue, she had to pretend to be calm, consider the overall situation, and also take into account her current identity as the young miss of the Prince Qingjun's Mansion. So she had been suppressing the emotions brought about by learning Wangyue's identity.
Only when she returned to Cang Xuan's side could she vent freely.
Cang Xuan knew that the elder sister the girl referred to definitely wasn't Su Yuanyuan's real elder sister. Then there was only one answer left - Su Yuanyuan.
It turned out that the woman the Pingyang Marquis Mansion had retrieved before wasn't the real eldest daughter but an imposter. Su Yuanyuan could have lived in peace and harmony with her real elder sister, but because of an imposter from nowhere, she was gradually lured into a trap, her reputation was ruined, everyone betrayed her, and finally she died an unnatural death and was thrown into a mass grave.
If it weren't for him, she would have vanished between heaven and earth, with no chance of coming back to life or finding out the truth.
And after being reborn, she became the light in his life.
Perhaps this was the destiny of the two of them.
If Su Yuanyuan hadn't returned to her body and become Su Yuanyuan, she would never have found out the whereabouts of his biological mother. He might have become a god of slaughter blinded by hatred, killing his father and rebelling, destroying heaven and earth, and walking towards a doomed end despised and punished by the world.
And the death of the Divine Doctor of Xinglin might have remained a mystery forever. The woman with a scarred face would never have had the chance to learn about her own life experience, uncover all the truths, and put everything back in place.
A single thought could set off a chain reaction. All of this was brought about by his act of taking the girl's body away from the mass grave back then.
Reborn from the fire, what is obtained is precious.
This was the Phoenix Star.
Holding the girl in his arms tighter, Cang Xuan cupped the girl's face with his big hand and gently wiped away the tears on her face, saying,
"If she had been the one retrieved back then, she would surely have been glad to have a lively, cute, and naughty younger sister. She would have protected you, loved you, tied up your hair before your wedding, helped you put on your wedding dress, and made things difficult for your husband."
"But there are no ifs in life. The facts have already happened. Next, let's put things right and make everything return to its proper place."
The girl cried herself to sleep in Cang Xuan's arms. Cang Xuan carried the girl to the bed, took off her shoes and socks, and just like he had done every day these days, shielded the girl under his wings and lay down beside her with their necks touching.
The next day was the fourth day of Su Yuanyuan's free medical consultation in Chenzhou City. She had been practicing medicine in Chenzhou City for four days, but there was still no sign of movement from the Wang Family Merchant Firm. Su Yuanyuan guessed that the Wang Family was probably waiting for the right opportunity to see if she really had the ability to treat Shu Moyun.
Coincidentally, she could use Wangyue today to prove herself to them.
When the sun was directly overhead, there was still a constant stream of people in front of Su Yuanyuan's free medical consultation stall. It was very lively.
"Your illness isn't serious. Follow this prescription I've written and take the medicine. You'll be much better in less than half a month." Su Yuanyuan handed the prescription in her hand forward.
"Thank you, doctor! Thank you, doctor!" The commoner took the prescription and left happily with a beaming smile.
A shadow fell in front of her. Su Yuanyuan looked up and saw Wangyue wearing a veil hat sitting in front of her.
"Little doctor, I've heard that your medical skills are excellent. I wonder if you have a way to treat the wounds on a person's body?" Wangyue asked in front of everyone.
Raising the corners of her lips, Su Yuanyuan smiled and said, "Of course I can. May I ask where the young lady is injured and needs treatment?"
Wangyue took off her veil hat, revealing her terrifying face. When the commoners around saw how hideous she looked, they were so scared that they took big steps backward, leaving a large empty space behind Wangyue.
Seeing Wangyue's face during the day was even more shocking than seeing it at night. Su Yuanyuan remained calm on the surface and said, "The injury on the young lady's face seems to have been there for a long time, but it's okay. I have an ointment here that can promote blood circulation and regenerate muscles. It can restore the young lady's appearance overnight."
"Really?" Wangyue showed a look of surprise on her face. She got up and bowed deeply to Su Yuanyuan. "Then I'll have to trouble the little doctor."
Su Yuanyuan exchanged a look with Wangyue. Seeing Wangyue nodding secretly, Su Yuanyuan began to treat the wound on Wangyue's face in public.
The sharp dagger was soaked in strong liquor and roasted by fire, making the blade turn red. The commoners watched with bated breath as Su Yuanyuan used the dagger to cut open the already healed scar on Wangyue's face. But out of curiosity, they stared intently at the two of them.
Su Yuanyuan was quick and skillful. After removing the rotten flesh from the old wound, she began to stop the bleeding and apply the "Flower Beauty" ointment she had developed.
After all this was done, Wangyue's whole face was wrapped in gauze, leaving only a pair of clear and clean eyes.
"At this time tomorrow, your face will be completely healed, and there will be no more scars. But since the newly grown flesh is too delicate, you need to take good care of it in the following days to fully recover to your original appearance."
Wangyue bowed deeply to Su Yuanyuan again. After putting on her veil hat again, she turned around and left.
Naturally, this scene fell into the eyes of the spies from the Wang Family Merchant Firm.
At the Wang Family Merchant Firm.
"Completely heal the wound and restore it to its original state within a day?" The manager of the Wang Family Merchant Firm stroked his beard and thought thoughtfully. "Is there really such a miraculous medicine in the world?"
Beside him, the accountant said, "Since it's said that it will be okay tomorrow, we'll know the result when we see it."
The manager nodded. "That's right. We'll know tomorrow. If that doctor really has such a miraculous medicine, that person's problem can be solved."
