NovelEnglish2979 Poisoned Part
Although Ling’ge wore a pained expression, given Young Sir’s explicit order, he had no choice but to comply.
So many valuable items, including ganoderma lucidum and snow lotus, were destroyed in a fit of anger. Regardless, it was all that stoic-faced maiden’s fault.
She had to accept the consequences in full!
Surreptitiously, Ling’ge cast a glance at Fifth Young Sir, who entered the school with a stern countenance. He then closed the side room’s door tightly with a click.
Simultaneously, in another part of the inner city, Madam Guo’an’s raucous curses and shrieks emanated from a residence.
The maidservant, Cai Hui, quivered in fear as she pushed open the door, nearly being struck by a cup hurtling towards her.

“Why are you here alone? Where’s Cai Hua? Where has she run off to? I instructed her to prepare bird’s nest porridge, so why hasn’t she arrived yet?”
“Are my orders meaningless now?”
Cai Hui trembled, her fear evident as she moved closer on her knees to placate her mistress. “Please, Consort, do not be angered. I will inspect the small kitchen shortly.”
“Hurry then!” Madam Guo’an shouted in fury.
Cai Hui quivered but dared not utter a word. She swiftly rose from the floor and approached the door.
“Wait.” Madam Guo’an’s cold voice rang out, her expression dark.
“Yes, Consort.”
“Bring me the bronze mirror over there.”
Madam Guo’an’s complexion darkened, and she refused to relent.
She had already consumed several pills in an attempt to restore her appearance, and they should have taken effect by now.
Cai Hui shivered, gently beseeching, “Consort, it would be best for you to convalesce in tranquility…”
“Give it to me!” Madam Guo’an’s countenance shifted abruptly, displaying her dissatisfaction with Cai Hui for daring to defy her openly.
Cai Hui swiftly clambered over, retrieved a bronze mirror, and presented it to Madam Guo’an.
Taking a deep breath, Guo’an gazed at her reflection in the bronze mirror. The sight nearly caused her to faint.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmHer previously fair and elongated countenance now bore a shade darker than charcoal. It appeared as though she had been roasted in a charcoal pit for days, the deep darkness absurdly contrasting her crimson nose and a tumor approximately half a finger’s size. It was undeniably conspicuous!
“Ah!” Madam Guo’an erupted in anger, hurling the bronze mirror to the ground and flinging anything within her reach.
She could hardly fathom that, despite her emergency treatment, her face remained tainted by the quilt toxin. That wretched little black snake couldn’t have bitten her anywhere else, but it had chosen her nose.
“Qiao Mu, Qiao Mu, I’m going to kill you, Qiao Mu! Qiao Mu!!” Madam Guo’an shrieked, her fury reaching its zenith as she cursed Qiao Mu.
Cai Hui dared not intervene, standing aside in silence.
“What are you waiting for? Summon the finest apothecaries and pill alchemists in the city!”
She was resolute about rectifying her disfigured visage!
How could she step out to face the world in such a charcoal-black, toxin-affected state?
“Yes, of course.” Cai Hui hastened to rise from the ground and rushed out of the residence.
The current Consort was truly terrifying, capable of flying into a rage at any moment and venting her pent-up frustration on any unfortunate girl.
No one wanted to become the scapegoat for her misfortunes.
