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

.........

Sure enough, in this quiet place in the back mountain, after going through untold hardships and twists and turns, Zhao Yuxuan finally found Xue Qing'er, whom he had been thinking about day and night.

At this moment, Zhao Yuxuan had already thrown aside his so-called reserve. He couldn't wait to stride forward and hug Xue Qing'er tightly in his arms.

However, something unexpected happened - a retching sound was heard...

Xue Qing'er, who was completely unprepared, could not help but recall the scene she saw at Prince Zhuang's mansion that day: Zhao Yuxuan had an ugly toad head, and his hideous face still frightened her... Thinking of this, Xue Qing'er suddenly felt a strong discomfort in her heart, and instinctively wanted to push the person in front of her away. Unfortunately, it was too late. Before she could make any move, she couldn't help but vomit at Zhao Yuxuan, and the filth splashed all over his body.

Zhao Yuxuan, who has always had severe mysophobia, had a face that was originally full of affection, but in an instant, his expression became extremely stiff, as if time had frozen at this moment.

"Brother Xuan, I'm so sorry!" Xue Qing'er's face was full of embarrassment, and her complexion was changing like a chameleon, sometimes blue and sometimes white, so exciting! In fact, she had tried her best to suppress the nausea and disgust that surged in her heart, but in the end she failed to resist this surging discomfort.

Then, Xue Qing'er quickly adjusted her mood, just like an actor with superb acting skills. She returned to normal in just a short moment and explained: "The reason why I came here in such a hurry was just to see you as soon as possible. I was worried that I would be seen by others on the way, so I deliberately chose this little-known path." Xue Qing also coughed a few times and said those words weakly, which was very endearing.

After hearing these words, Zhao Yuxuan's heart seemed to be touched by something, and instantly became extremely soft. He gazed at the delicate woman in front of him with tender eyes, and a feeling of heartache arose spontaneously: "You are already weak, and you shouldn't go out in such freezing weather? This is all my fault! I really shouldn't have asked you out..."

His words were filled with deep remorse and regret, and at the same time, an irrepressible feeling of pity and love surged in his heart. Unconsciously, he subconsciously stretched out his arms and hugged her tightly, as if he wanted to use his body temperature to warm her vulnerable heart.

However, what Zhao Yuxuan didn't expect was that Xue Qing'er seemed to be frightened and instinctively avoided his hug. Her action seemed a little abrupt and decisive, which made Zhao Yuxuan feel confused and dissatisfied.

Xue Qing'er seemed to have noticed Zhao Yuxuan's change in mood, and hurriedly explained, "Brother Xuan, you must have misunderstood. There are so many people in this temple right now, and it's really not appropriate to be too intimate. We'd better be cautious."

After hearing this, Zhao Yuxuan looked around and found that this place was indeed crowded with people and not a suitable place to express his feelings. Thinking of this, he still felt a little unhappy, but he could only accept the reality helplessly.

At this moment, Xue Qing'er saw Zhao Yuxuan's lonely and frustrated look, and she couldn't help but feel a little worried, fearing that he would be suspicious of her. After hesitating for a long time, she finally plucked up the courage, took the initiative to move her face closer to Zhao Yuxuan, and quickly kissed him on the cheek.

But at this moment, a sudden gust of wind blew past, blowing the hat off Zhao Yuxuan's head without any warning. In an instant, Zhao Yuxuan's uneven and ugly head, which was originally hidden under the hat, was exposed...

Seeing this scene, Xue Qing'er's stomach suddenly turned upside down and she couldn't help but retching: "Ugh..."

Xue Qing'er's stomach churned, and Zhao Yuxuan also felt a coolness on his head. He subconsciously covered his head with both hands and ran towards his hat in a hurry, looking funny. He no longer had the cool and noble look of the bright moon in the past.

"Brother Xuan, I've been out for quite a long time. If Brother Fan can't see me, he will definitely be very anxious and look for me everywhere." Xue Qing'er said softly, her words full of concern for her son.

When Zhao Yuxuan picked up the hat that had fallen on the ground with satisfaction and put it on his head steadily, he turned around. However, what he saw at this time was an empty scene - Xue Qing'er's figure had disappeared without a trace.

Anyway, this place is a solemn temple after all, not a familiar courtyard at home, and it is not appropriate to stay here for too long. Although he felt a little regretful, Zhao Yuxuan knew that there were still many days to come, and he would definitely be able to find a suitable opportunity to spend a beautiful and peaceful time with the mother and son.

Zhao Yuxuan naturally had no idea. After Xue Qing'er returned to her residence, she could not help but recall the extremely embarrassed and unbearable appearance of Zhao Yuxuan at that time. Although the scars on his body had healed, the hideous scabs were still clearly visible. The uneven skin and the slightly ridiculous behavior under his bald head contrasted with each other, making him look like an ugly toad crawling out of a stinky ditch. Whenever Xue Qing'er recalled this scene, she could not suppress the nausea that surged in her heart, as if there were millions of ants gnawing at her stomach.

"Someone, come! Hurry up and get a set of clean clothes!" Before she even stepped into the room, Xue Qing'er couldn't wait to shout to the maid beside her. However, surprisingly, her call did not receive any response, and the surroundings were still as silent as death...

Xue Qing'er pushed the door open with an angry look on her face. However, the moment the door opened, she was surprised to find a very familiar figure sitting in the room.

"Sister...sister?" Xue Qing'er cried out, her heart full of surprise and confusion. She really couldn't understand why her sister suddenly appeared in her room.

Xue Jin smiled faintly and said softly, "Sister, you are so surprised. Didn't you expect me to come here to visit you? It's just a coincidence. I heard you were here when I first arrived at Huangshan Temple, so I came here to talk." As she spoke, she cast her eyes on the maid standing aside and continued to ask, "Sister, when I came here just now, I heard from your maid that you had just gone out. I wonder where you went?"

Xue Qing'er glared at the maid fiercely, then tried to calm down and hide her inner panic. She pretended to be calm and responded, "Oh... Sister, you don't know, this is my first time to visit Huangshan Temple. I just went out to walk around and get familiar with the surrounding environment."

At this time, Xue Jinhua leisurely picked up the teacup on the table, took a sip of the fragrant tea, and then slowly put the cup down. She looked at Xue Qing'er with a smile and said slowly: "So that's how it is. It's really a coincidence! The Marquis also came to Huangshan Temple and also said that he wanted to get familiar with the environment here. I just wonder if my sister has met him by chance just now?"

Hearing this, Xue Qing'er's heart trembled violently, and she seemed more and more at a loss, but she still tried to explain: "How...how could it be? I always walk towards the east, so my brother-in-law must have gone south, right?" Her panic was hard to hide between her words.

Xue Jinhua gently placed the teacup on the table. Her beautiful face blossomed with an increasingly brilliant smile, as beautiful as a flower in full bloom in spring. She opened her red lips and said softly, "Sister, I haven't mentioned where the Marquis went yet. How do you know that the Marquis went to the south?"

Xue Qing'er's face was tense and her expression became more and more stiff, as if she was covered by a layer of frost. She was already worried, and now she was even more nervous. However, after a moment, she quickly came to her senses and responded calmly: "Oh, sister, I didn't see my brother-in-law when I went out. I thought I was going east, so I guessed that my brother-in-law might have gone south."

After hearing this explanation, Xue Jinhua's eyes flashed with a sly light. She deliberately showed surprise and raised her voice and said, "Oh? Is that so? But just now I clearly heard your maid say that you were heading south. I thought you just happened to meet your brother-in-law!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Xue Qing'er's pale face instantly became distorted. She glared at the maid beside her fiercely, her eyes full of anger and reproach. The poor maid cried out in pain, knelt on her knees, and said in a trembling voice: "Aunt, spare me! I did say that my wife went in the direction of the south gate, but after leaving this yard, I really don't know the situation!"

"Oh, it seems that I misunderstood."

"If you ask me, it's not that you misunderstood, sister. It's really the fault of that damn maid who was too dumb to explain clearly." Xue Qing'er finally let go of the heavy stone in her heart and breathed a sigh of relief. Then she hurriedly explained to the other party: "Sister, I swear to God, I really didn't see my brother-in-law. Please believe me. Don't have any misunderstandings because of such a small matter!"

Seeing the person in front of her so anxious, Xue Jinhua couldn't help but chuckle and comforted her softly, "Alright, alright, don't worry, sister. I was just joking with you just now. You and the Marquis are actually related by marriage! Even if you really met by chance, it's no big deal, don't you think, sister?"

After hearing these words, Xue Qing'er realized that she had lost her composure. Her cheeks immediately flushed like the sunset, and her expression became more and more embarrassed. She stammered in response, "Sister... Sister, please stop teasing me. You know, I am always serious and stern. If something has not happened, it definitely does not exist!"

However, at this moment, Xue Jinhua did not intend to give up, and continued to tease with a smile: "Oh? Is that true? But as far as I know, my second brother once mentioned that my sister has been proficient in climbing trees and climbing over courtyard walls since she was a child.

Xue Qing'er's heart pounded violently at the ambiguous words. She heard Xue Qing'er say, "Sister, you said it happened when you were a child, but people change over time..." However, as soon as she finished speaking, she couldn't help coughing violently.

"Cough cough cough..." The coughing seemed to shake out her lungs, which made people feel pity for her.

Looking at Xue Qing'er's appearance, Xue Jinhua slowly stood up and said softly: "Sister, you are so weak, it is really not suitable for you to go out. You should rest and recuperate at home. If your condition worsens, I am afraid that many people will be distressed." After that, she turned around and prepared to leave, and added: "Sister will come to visit you another day when she is free."

Xue Qing'er's expression was very exciting at this moment. She tried her best to force out a smile, but it was extremely difficult. When Xue Jinhua's figure completely disappeared, the smile that was barely maintained suddenly became distorted and hideous.

"When did she come? Why didn't anyone come to tell me?" Xue Qing'er questioned the maid beside her angrily. Seeing this, the maid was so scared that she knelt down and kowtowed to beg for mercy: "Please calm down, Princess! Not long after you left, the eldest aunt came to visit. At first, I wanted to find you to tell you about this, but the eldest aunt said that it was not necessary to bother and told me not to disturb you. She just needed to sit here and wait. At that time, Brother Fan was asleep. I was afraid that if I left, Brother Fan would wake up and no one would take care of him, so I didn't dare to leave. I hope Princess will forgive me!"

Xue Jinhua pursed her lips tightly, thinking to herself: That woman has always hated me, why would she be so kind to come visit me today? Could it be that she has noticed something? But then she thought again, if she really knew something, why didn't she show up at the scene, but waited here for me to return?

Thinking of this, Xue Jinhua couldn't help but snorted coldly, thinking that this woman must be deliberately mysterious and pretentious, just trying to scare her. So, she calmed down and told the person next to her: "Okay, you need to be smarter in the future, go find me a set of clothes."

At the same time, Xue Qing'er's thoughts involuntarily drifted back to Zhao Yuxuan's disgusting face. When she thought about the contact she had just had with him, and even kissed him despite the discomfort in her heart, Xue Qing'er felt a chill all over her body, as if her body was stained with a piece of filth and felt extremely uncomfortable.
