The mistress is reborn, no one who bullies me can escape

Wang was heartbroken and tearfully looked at Imperial Physician Zhang and said, "Imperial Physician Zhang, please make sure you cure my son. We will pay for the consultation no matter how much it costs."

Imperial Physician Zhang quickly comforted her: "Old Madam, please rest assured, I will do my best."

At this time, Xue Jinhua, who was standing aside, said, "Mother, I'll go see Imperial Physician Zhang off, you go in and see the Marquis!"

After Xue Jinhua and Imperial Physician Zhang left, Wang couldn't wait to walk into the room and asked Zhao Yuxuan on the bed, "What's wrong with you? You just went to see Brother Fan off, and you look like this when you come back?"

Wang knew very well that men valued talent more than appearance. But she couldn't accept the huge change in Zhao Yuxuan. Not to mention that Zhao Yuxuan himself couldn't accept it, even Wang couldn't stand it.

Zhao Yuxuan's heart was filled with anger and resentment. Facing his mother, he didn't want to hide anything anymore, so he told her everything that happened in Prince Zhuang's mansion.

"Mom, I just wanted to see Qing'er. Who could have expected so many things to happen suddenly?" Zhao Yuxuan explained in a heavy tone.

In fact, if Zhao Yuxuan had not cared about Xue Qing'er at that time, he could have escaped easily.

However, if he ran away like this and was seen by people outside coming out of Xue Qing'er's room while Xue Qing'er was inside, then their relationship would be completely exposed.

In addition, due to his deep male pride, he was eager to show his bravery and wisdom at the critical moment, so he came up with this plan and tried to take risks to win a good reputation.

However, to his surprise, things did not develop as he expected, and something went wrong in the end.

The appearance that he had always been proud of was ruined!

He stared at himself in the bronze mirror, his burned scalp and his bumpy, uneven hair, all of which hurt his self-esteem.

At this moment, he felt extremely regretful. If he had known that this would be the outcome, he would never have taken such an adventure...

"If you ask me, this woman is a nuisance. What's wrong with you? Why do you have to go find her?"

Wang's face turned blue with anger, and she looked at Zhao Yuxuan with disappointment and anger. In her eyes, her eldest son was both talented and beautiful, and he should have found a pure and innocent woman, but he was obsessed with Xue Qing'er, a married woman who was now a widow.

"Mom, don't say that about Qing'er. I did this voluntarily and it has nothing to do with Qing'er." Zhao Yuxuan said firmly, his eyes revealing his dissatisfaction and protest towards his mother.

Seeing her son so stubborn, Wang became even more angry: "You have given so much to her. In my opinion, now that Brother Fan has returned to her, she may not care about you in the future."

"Mom, Qing'er is not that kind of person." Zhao Yuxuan was very sure of the relationship between him and Xue Qing'er, and firmly believed that their love was as solid as a rock. However, his firmness did not comfort Wang, but made her even more annoyed.

"Humph, look at how you look now, you are simply obsessed with that woman!" Wang pointed at Zhao Yuxuan and cursed angrily.

"Mom, no, it won't happen. I was the one who saved Qing'er this time. She will definitely remember my kindness in her heart. Everyone in the Xue family loves her so much. After all, I am Fan'er's biological father. If there are any problems in my career, I believe the Xue family will not stand idly by." Zhao Yuxuan comforted Wang.

Wang looked at her son, with a hint of helplessness and worry in her eyes, but she finally nodded: "I hope so."

Seeing how confident he was, Wang didn't want to say anything more... Now she could only hope that it would be as he thought, and Xue Qing'er would be grateful.

However, Zhao Yuxuan's wishful thinking did not last long. As time went on, he found that things did not develop as he expected.

.........

The scar on Zhao Yuxuan's head was slowly healing, but the hair had not grown out where his scalp was damaged, which made him feel very distressed and inferior. He would look at the scar on his head in the mirror every day, and his mood became worse and worse.

As the New Year approached, the weather was cold, so he put on a thick hat. Although this could cover up his ugliness, the shadow in his heart could not be shaken off.

As for Xue Jinhua, whenever she saw Zhao Yuxuan, her mind would always recall his appearance when he rushed out of the fire in Prince Zhuang's mansion that day, and the wound on his head, which looked like a toad. These images made her feel sick and disgusted.

Although Zhao Yuxuan now looks the same as before, every time Xue Jinhua looks at him, she always feels that his bald head is a bit dazzling. Therefore, in the past half month, Zhao Yuxuan has been avoiding appearing in front of Xue Jinhua, and his mood has become increasingly depressed.

For Xue Jinhua, she had been living a relaxed and comfortable life during this period. She had been waiting for news from the beggar master, hoping to find a way to change her fate. However, she did not expect someone to visit her suddenly today.

"Miss, Miss, the young lady is here." The maid ran over hurriedly and shouted in panic.

Xue Jinhua was concentrating on reading the book in her hand. When she was interrupted by the sudden voice, she frowned slightly, turned her eyes away from the book, and looked towards the door. "What is she doing here?"

Yinghua also looked puzzled and shook her head to indicate that she didn't know. But she noticed that the young lady was holding a small basket with something in it. "From the look of the young lady, it seems that she brought some cakes here, not that she came here to cause trouble."

Xue Jinhua thought to herself, this young lady would not come to see me for no reason. If she is not here to cause trouble today, then she must be asking for something. Thinking of this, the corners of her mouth slightly raised, revealing a barely perceptible smile.

"Then let her in!" Xue Jinhua said lightly, then put down the book in her hand, straightened her clothes, and waited quietly for the arrival of her aunt.

A moment later, the young aunt Zhao Yuting came in. What was different from before was that she had a gentle smile on her face, no longer as cold as before.

"Sister-in-law, when I went out today, I bought you some of Kyoto's famous osmanthus cake. This is the signature dessert of the most famous cake shop in Kyoto. Many people line up to buy it! It tastes very good, you should try it." Zhao Yuting said as she handed the basket to the maid beside her.

Xue Jinhua smiled slightly, with a hint of surprise and confusion in her eyes, but she soon regained her composure. "Thank you, little aunt, for your thoughtfulness." She took the basket, opened it, and saw that it was indeed filled with exquisite osmanthus cakes.

Zhao Yuting started to unwrap the cakes and gave a piece to Xue Jinhua, "Sister-in-law, take a piece and try it."

Hearing this, Xue Jinhua frowned slightly. Yinghua beside her hurriedly said, "Aunt, my wife is allergic to osmanthus, don't you know?"

When Zhao Yuting heard this, her face turned red and she looked a little unnatural, obviously embarrassed.

However, Xue Jinhua smiled and said softly, "It's okay. Even though I'm allergic to osmanthus, I've received your kindness!"

Zhao Yuting heaved a sigh of relief and showed a happy look. After a pause, she said, "Sister-in-law, I have something I want to ask you for help."

It really is... No one comes to see me for no reason! When she needs help, she calls me sister-in-law, but when she doesn't, she calls me Xue Jinhua by my name.

She saw Xue Jinmian looking at her calmly without saying anything, and continued, "Sister-in-law, it's like this. I originally wanted to ask my brother for help, but he's not in a good condition right now and it's inconvenient for him to go out, so I thought of my sister-in-law."

This woman, as long as it comes to matters related to her elder brother, she will definitely help herself without reservation.

Xue Jinhua knew exactly what she was thinking. "Oh, then, sister, what's the matter? Tell me."

It must be no small matter to make her humble herself and talk to him.

"Sister-in-law, it's like this, our third place winner this year is the prince of the Zhenguo family, right?"

Xue Jinhua understood instantly that Zhao Yuting had actually reached the age of marriage and had many men who proposed to her, but she was too proud and arrogant to look down on any of them.

Now she has her eyes on the third place winner of the imperial examination in Zhenguo Mansion? To be honest, let alone the fact that the mansion is in decline now, even if it wasn't, Zhenguo Mansion would not have looked down on her.

"Sister-in-law, you are unwilling to help?" Zhao Yuting was very dissatisfied when she saw Xue Jinhua remained silent. "If sister-in-law doesn't want to help, then just say it. I will explain the situation to my eldest brother later."

What I mean is, if you don’t help me, I will tell my elder brother.

"No, I'm just wondering why my sister didn't choose this year's top scholar? I heard that the top scholar is outstanding in talent and appearance, and his family background is also very good."

Zhao Yuting said: "It is true that the top scholar has a privileged family, but compared to the Zhenguo Mansion, it is far behind..."

Yes, it is indeed far from it.

But what Zhao Yuting didn't know was that although the prince of the Zhenguo Mansion was outstanding in talent and appearance, and had an even stronger family background, he was an extremely perverted person. Not only did he like to beat people, he also liked to play with women. He hadn't even married yet, but he already had concubines in his backyard.

That would be fine, but he was still a short-lived person. It seemed like he died suddenly not long after getting married in his previous life.

Although the family background of this number one scholar could not match that of the Zhenguo Mansion, his maternal grandfather's family had a close relationship with the prince, and in the end he had a smooth career and rose rapidly.

"Little sister, it's not that I don't want to help with this matter, but since ancient times, marriages have always been decided by parents. I can ask for you, but in the end, it's still up to your mother to make the final decision..."
