Chapter 188 The Shocking Words
Ruined?
Qin Yunuan frowned slightly but was not about to enter. She just heard the persuasion from Sun Miaoyang, and then Leng Suxin said, “Yes! Disabled. I am disabled all the time.”
And then Qin Yunuan heard the sound of broking porcelains. Sun Miaoyang sighed disappointedly and went out of the room. He saw Qin Yunuan, who had been standing outside all the time, and then shook his head, “Don’t save her. She abandons herself.” And then he left straightly.
“Since you come here, come in. I don’t mind there is another person who can see me in a mess.” Leng Suxin seemed to have noticed Qin Yunuan came here.
Qin Yunuan indicated Ting Xue and Maner to stay outside and then entered the room alone. She saw the fragments of porcelains and Leng Suxin leaning against the window, who looked outside with miserable eyes. The cold north wind blew into the room through the curtain.
“I can’t marry at West Xia,” Leng Suxin now still wore a fine skin mask which hid her face full of scars completely, “I can’t. Sorry, Third Sister-in-law. I can’t.”
Qin Yunuan stepped closer, “Don’t tell me that you still love Changxi, and you can’t leave him.”
Leng Suxin lowered her eyes and sneered, “you can think so.”
“Or,” Qin Yunuan added quickly, “Somebody threatened you? Threatened you to use your face? The person forced you to give the chance to her?”
Leng Suxin was speechless, but her absent-minded and threatened eyes had shown everything.
“The person is Infanta Zhaojing?” Qin Yunuan guessed boldly. Infanta Zhaojing had known Leng Suxin wore the mask made of human skin and tried her best to marry the Fourth Prince of West Xia, Jing Yuanchu. No matter who told Infanta Zhaojing the issue of skin mask, Qin Yunuan guessed reasonably that Infanta Zhaojing played tricks on the liquid medicine used for wearing the mask. Or, the face of Leng Suxin would not be destroyed so badly just by Sun Miaoyang.
Leng Suxin did not answer and just looked outside absent-mindedly. She suddenly said, “Do you know how my face is?” Leng Suxin looked at Qin Yunuan and said with her head tilting, “Do you want me to take off the mask to show my face?”
Before Qin Yunuan responded, Leng Suxin opened the skin of underjaw slowly by her fingers. She did not care hesitant Qin Yunuan and uncovered the whole skin mask, and then she threw the skin mask away on the ground. Her face, which had been totally destroyed for ten years, was exposed under the sun first time.
Her face was full of burning scars and looked uneven, which was like the surface of a nut. There were some parts of new flesh due to the new treatment of medicine, which looked more disgusting.
Qin Yunuan could not help but close her eyes. She could not imagine how Leng Suxin could live under this condition for ten years.
“See, you feel scared too.” Leng Suxin smiled. And at this moment, the close grand maidservant of Leng Suxin, Chun’er, broke into the room without a report in advance. She got out of breath, “Fourth Miss, something bad happened on Concubine Tang. It was said that the Second Young Madam drank the drink sent by Concubine Tang…”
Before Chun’er finished, she had widened her eyes to look at the grisly Leng Suxin unbelievably. She covered her mouth frightenedly and could not say anything. And then she fell on the ground and tried to crawl toward the door, grunting, “Fourth Miss, I…I did not mean to act like that. I…just…”
Qin Yunuan acted so quickly. She called Leng Shuang in and let her lift Chun’er up and then put her against the door. Now Chun’er could not move and came out to report the situation. And then Leng Suxin wore the veil quickly to cover her real face barely.
Qin Yunuan stepped forward with a cold face. She shouted at Chun’er, “After a while, I will let Maner give you thirty tael of silver, which could afford to buy a house for you to run a shop in your hometown. And then you should leave the Royal City and never come back. As for the face of Third Miss, you should never mention it to anybody. If I heard that you tell others, you would die.”
Leng Shuang covered the mouth of Chun’er, who was widening her eyes.
“If you understand what I said, you just wink. I will send you out of the mansion immediately.” After Qin Yunuan said that, Chun’er winked constantly.
“Let her off.”
Leng Shuang loosened her hands but then pinched the wrist of Chun’er. She was about to take Chun’er out, but Leng Suxin appeared suddenly, shouting with fierce eyes, “No! She can’t go. I would be over if she should go away. Nobody alive can leave the room with the secret. Nobody!”
“Fourth Miss.” Qin Yunuan wanted to persuade her but was pulled back by Leng Shuang aside suddenly. Leng Suxin took out a candlestick suddenly where the candle had been taken away, and only the kin-edged copper-nail was exposed. And then she stabbed the belly of Chun’er straightly by the candlestick.
Leng Suxin loosened her hands slowly. Having seen the blood on her hands and Chun’er, who fell on the ground insensibly, she looked a little bit frightened but immediately turned calm and indifferent.
At this moment, Maner came in and reported that the Old Madam called in Qin Yunuan and Leng Suxin. Qin Yunuan remembered that Chun’er had said that something bad happened on Concubine Tang, and it was related to Qin Yuwan, so the call of the Old Madam must be related to this issue.
Looking at the blood in the room, Maner could not help but shudder. Qin Yunuan allocated the task, “Xi’er, you stay here to watch Chun’er. Put her on the bed. Ting Xue, Doctor Sun has not gone far away, so you go to take him back. Chun’er may still be alive. Maner, you go to Lotus Fragrance Courtyard together with Fourth Miss and me. Everybody, listen! Nothing happened just now.”
Xi’er, Ting Xue and Maner all were the capable maidservants. Each of them received the task. Qin Yunuan helped Leng Suxin wear the skin mask again, and said seriously, “Keep refreshing today no matter how you feel now.”
Now Leng Suxin was like a dead body that had no consciousness. She was almost dragged to Lotus Fragrance Courtyard by Qin Yunuan. The phenomenon of Lotus Fragrance Courtyard had been intense. And there was in a mess in the room of the Old Madam.
Concubine Tang was well known for her loud voice. Qin Yunuan had already heard the cries of Concubine Tang even if she was several steps away from the room, “Old Madam, you must believe me. I feel so happy for the pregnancy of the Second Young Madam because the baby will be the third young master of Prince Ning’s Mansion. I dare not add Saffron into the nourishing medicine!”
The Old Madam was speechless, but the silent Leng Changxuan suddenly stood up and spoke for Qin Yuwan, “Concubine Tang, are you denying? Yuwan did drink the cubilose sent by you, and then she got a stomachache. And the doctor has checked the cubilose and found there was Saffron in it. Concubine Tang, though Yuwan did something wrong, you should not hurt her baby.”
After all, that is the baby of Leng Changxuan. He got fevered and finally almost shed tears.
At this moment, Qin Yunuan came into the room and saw the kneeling Concubine Tang. Ruan Ruyi and Leng Chang’an aside also knelt aside. The Old Madam closed her eyes and sat there to ponder. Nobody knew what she was pondering. She opened her eyes until the maidservant aside reported that Qin Yunuan and Leng Suxin came.
“Yunuan and Suxin came,” The Old Madam said leisurely. She kept calm even in this situation, “I heard that the famous Sun Miaoyang now stayed at our mansion temporarily, and Yunuan, you are familiar with him. Now the baby of your Second Sister is in danger. Could you invite the doctor to check your Second Sister?”
The position of Sun Miaoyang in the medical world is as high as Shangguan Yi’s in the academic world. People could rarely invite him to have a check, and even the Old Madam of the Prince Mansion should rely on Qin Yunuan to invite the doctor.
“Definitely, I have sent people to invite the famous Doctor Sun.”
The Old Madam nodded and looked at Concubine Tang and the other two people disagreeably, rebuking, “Don’t cry! Now it is crucial to save the baby of Yuwan. Now we don’t know if she and her baby are safe. Why do you try to pass the buck and clarify the responsibility? And you,” The Old Madam looked at Leng Changxuan, “Your wife is in serious danger. Why do you stay here instead of accompanying her?”
And then someone from Qin Yuwan came to report that Qin Yuwan had taken too much Saffron and got an abortion. And Qin Yuwan now was very weak and probably could not get pregnant any longer.
Now everybody here focused on Concubine Tang. She could not figure out why her nourishing food got something wrong and contained Saffron since many people sent the nourishing food to Qin Yuwan. Now Qin Yuwan got miscarriage due to her, which was the accusation she could not bear.
“Old Madam, my mother can’t do that. Please have a clear investigation.” Leng Chang’an and Ruan Ruyi knelt and constantly kowtowed toward the Old Madam.
The Old Madam looked at Qin Yunuan and asked, “Yunuan, what’s your opinion?”
The Old Madam started to ask the opinion of Qin yunuan somehow.
Qin Yunuan said in a low voice, “All the evidence seems to focus on Concubine Tang, but Yunuan still thinks that there is a big bug. Nobody will add Saffron into the nourishing food he sends so conspicuously, which will cause trouble for him.”
Concubine Tang looked at Qin Yunuan touchingly. She had not thought Qin Yunuan would speak for her in such a crucial time.
The Old Madam nodded and looked at the absent-minded Leng Suxin, “Suxin, What’s your opinion?”
Leng Suxin glimpsed at Concubine Tang lightly. Concubine Tang felt depressed immediately when she saw the cold eyes of Leng Suxin. Concubine Tang had a bad relationship with her kin daughter, Leng Suxin, so she did not expect the help from her daughter.
“My mother did not do that,” Leng Suxin said coldly, and her words astonished people here, “I did that.”
