Chapter 11
“Alright, alright, alright. I’ll go imdiately.” Xu Wanrong walked out impatiently. Her footsteps were so fast that her dress fluttered.
Chu Qingzhi stretched and sat on the chair. She had not done this for a long ti and was a little tired.
Xu Wanrong quickly returned. “Sister, I’m done showering.”
Chu Qingzhi stood up and let Xu Wanrong sit on the chair. “Don’t move. Leave the rest to .”
Xu Wanrong nodded and said in embarrassnt, “Sister, I want to look in the mirror.”
Chu Qingzhi nodded. “Sure.”
The servant girl imdiately placed the mirror on the desk and retreated to the side. She waited quietly for the instruction and watched the miracle unfold.
Chu Qingzhi took the comb and combed all the hair on Xu Wanrong’s forehead back, revealing the scar. Then, she applied the dicine on the scar.
“The dicine is very gentle. It won’t hurt, but you’ll feel so heat. This is normal. Don’t be afraid.”
Xu Wanrong looked at herself in the mirror with extre hope in her eyes. “Sister, I understand.”
Yang Yumiao walked to the door of the small study and peeped in. When she saw the scar on her daughter’s face, tears welled up in her eyes.
Ever since her daughter’s face was disfigured, she had never smiled again. Yang Yumiao hoped that Chu Qingzhi could cure her daughter’s face and let her regain her youthfulness and liveliness.
After Chu Qingzhi finished applying the dicine for Xu Wanrong, she placed the bowl on the table. “You need to apply the dicine for ten days, but on the 6th day, the scar will recede.”
Xu Wanrong was in disbelief. “That quick?”
Chu Qingzhi said with confidence, “You’ll see the effect later.”
Xu Wanrong’s eyes lit up. “Ok.”
Chu Qingzhi waved at Xiao Fang. Xiao Fang imdiately walked up to Chu Qingzhi. “Miss, what can I do for you?”
Chu Qingzhi asked, “Did you see the process of applying dicine for your Miss just now?”
Xiao Fang quickly nodded. “I did.”
Chu Qingzhi instructed, “For the next few days, apply dicine for your Miss like this every morning and night, understand?”
Xiao Fang nodded. “Got it.”
Xu Wanrong kept looking at the mirror. She really hoped that the scar on her face would disappear imdiately. She wanted to wake up from this nightmare. “Xiao Fang, go and bring the chilled waterlon to Miss Chu.”
“Yes, Miss.”
Xiao Fang quickly brought over a plate of red waterlon and placed it in front of Chu Qingzhi. “Miss, please.”
“Thank you.” Chu Qingzhi ate a piece. “Wanrong, aren’t you eating?”
Xu Wanrong shook her head. “I’m not eating. This is prepared for you. The weather is hot. Eat more.”
Chu Qingzhi did not decline.
An hour later, Xu Wanrong looked at her face in the mirror several tis. “Sister, I think the scar has faded a little.”
Chu Qingzhi said affirmatively, “You are right. It’s fading.”
Xu Wanrong quickly asked the servant girl to call her mother over.
The servant girl ran out.
Yang Yumiao quickly rushed to the small study.
“Mother, is my face better now?”
Yang Yumiao looked at Xu Wanrong’s face carefully. After a while, she said excitedly, “What a miracle! Wanrong, your face has healed a lot.”
Chu Qingzhi smiled and said, “Continue to use the dicine. You’ll be back to normal in five to six days.”
Yang Yumiao was stunned for a mont before saying in surprise, “Five to six days? Are you sure?”
Chu Qingzhi said confidently, “Of course I’m sure. Anyway, it’ll only take five to six days. You’ll know when the ti cos.”
Yang Yumiao held Xu Wanrong’s hand and said excitedly, “Yes, yes, yes. We’ll know in five or six days…”
Chu Qingzhi said, “I’m going back. If you need anything, you can send soone to Chu Village to look for . My father is Chu Rong, and my grandfather is Chu Tai.”
Xu Wanrong stood up. “Sister, I’ll send you out.”
Chu Qingzhi nodded and walked out.
When they reached the door, Xu Wanrong took a basket from Xiao Fang. The basket was covered with a cloth, so the contents were hidden. She handed it to Chu Qingzhi. “Sister, this is my gift to you. Don’t reject it.”
Chu Qingzhi smiled. “Okay.”
Xu Wanrong stood at the door and watched Chu Qingzhi leave.
…
Back at ho, Chu Qingzhi bumped into her family mbers who were about to go out to water the fields. Chu Qingzhi stopped them. “Wait.”
She handed the basket to Madam Li. “Everyone, eat the waterlon before going.”
In the old days, waterlon was a precious fruit that only rich families could eat. She did not expect Xu Wanrong to give her a whole one. It weighed about 15 to 16 catties.
“Waterlon?”
Everyone looked like they couldn’t believe their ears.
Chu Qingzhi removed the cloth and a big green waterlon appeared in front of everyone. “It’s a waterlon. It’s chilled. Everyone, co and eat it now.”
Looking at the big waterlon, the Chu family was petrified on the spot.
This was a waterlon?! The legendary waterlon?!! Were they dreaming!!!?
