However, at this time, he sat obediently in front of the dressing table and didn't move an inch.

Manqing originally had a trace of doubt, but it was all dispelled.

If Jing Jing had any other thoughts, she wouldn't sit here obediently. How could she have the intention to dress up?

As he thought of this, he heaved a sigh of relief. He had to put on his makeup and be even more careful.

Taking advantage of the hairpin, he whispered into Jingjing's ear. However, he didn't notice that behind the Pingzhen Garden, a white smoke was emitting.

The two of them did not notice as Manqing whispered, "Miss, do not forget which prince you like. However, you must first tell the young master that Young Master has the same opinion as you before you can tell General Xiahou, is that alright?"

Young Master was naturally that mysterious masked man.

Manqing used a questioning tone, but there was no room for negotiation.

Jing Jing actually didn't care at all, she confidently said, "I'll save it!"

Manqing was now completely relieved.

After putting on her jewelry and clothes, Manqing was looking for a cicada from the jewelry box to bring to Jingjing.

After flipping through it for a while, he happened to find a Ru Zhuan with a crystal embedded with purple gold.

Manqing happily took it out, but before she could put it on Jingjing's hand, she heard someone shriek from outside, "Not good, it's a fire, fire, not good …"

Both Man Qing and Jing Jing's face changed at the same time.

The girl guarding the house, despite her usual training, was still in a mess at this time.

Some were even more timid and started to sob.

Manqing's face changed slightly and immediately reacted.

She quickly held Jingjing's hand and walked out. She didn't forget to mutter, "I'm fine, why is there a fire?"

Jing Jing also had an unexpected and anxious look on her face, "Now that I've taken a closer look, I'm not sure if I can keep the Pu Zhen Garden."

Manqing looked back at her and said, "Miss, you don't have to worry. There are so many people in the General's Estate. They'll definitely be able to fight fire."

Jingjing nodded. At the moment when Manqing turned around, a trace of a crafty smile hung on her face …

Within the Pu Zhen Garden, the many servants that came from the general's mansion were hurriedly rushing towards the fire.

Jingjing came close to Manqing's ear and said, "At this time, in order to remember mother's memory of Pu Zhen Garden, shouldn't I rush forward and cry?"

Manqing smiled and said, "Miss is indeed thoughtful!"

Jing Jing nodded, then pulled out Kai Manqing's hand. She stepped forward and said, "Hurry up and fight the fire, this is the only thing my mother left behind. If it's burned down, I won't forgive you … …"

As she spoke, she seemed to want to push forward.

"Miss, you can't go in …"

"Miss, it's dangerous."

"Ah, I remember now. There is also the portrait of mother inside." As Jing Jing said this, she abruptly shook off the hand that was holding her servant, and ran into the bedroom that was already set ablaze.

Her communicator had been left inside because Manqing had wanted to help her put her hand on it.

Before she went in, she saw Manqing's worried look and smiled knowingly. It was a success.

She had left the communicator in her room.

However, Manqing knew how important that communication device was to him. Otherwise, how could she trust him?

Under the raging fire, Jingjing accurately found the location of the communicator and carried it on her hand.

Suddenly, a burning suspended beam of light came crashing down on her head.

Jing Jing didn't dodge, she just stared blankly at that suspended beam, the bottom of the tower was on top of her head.

She instinctively let out a sharp cry …

Manqing clearly heard the shout. Her head buzzed as she thought that something was wrong …

Within the palace of the Western Regions.

Wine cups were everywhere, and dancers in bold attire were frantically twisting their waists on the stage.

However, there were already people who couldn't stay in this place any longer.

"What's going on?"

"That's right. Why must we wait for General Xiahou's daughter?" "Besides, he hasn't arrived yet …"

"My Lord, this is bad!" Just as everyone was whispering to each other, a eunuch walked in and knelt before the Western Region King's feet.

"What's all this fuss about?" The King of the Western Regions asked.

A pale eunuch looked at the Western Region King, then at General Xiahou, who was making a move, and mumbled.

"Speak — —" The Western Region King bellowed.

The eunuch looked towards General Xiahou and stammered, "The Puzhen Courtyard of the General's Estate has been set on fire."

"What?"

General Xiahou rose to his feet in an instant. The faces of the ministers and princes who had received the news tonight also changed slightly.

The eunuch's face turned even uglier.

General Xiahou asked, "Tell me, how is it?" Is my daughter, Yessie, all right? The fire can be extinguished. "

The eunuch was silent for a moment. Then, as if he had made a great decision, he said, "General Xiahou, you must not be agitated. Calm down and listen to what I have to say!"

"Speak —" General Xiahou's face darkened as he looked at his eunuch and spoke coldly.

The eunuch looked at General Xiahou timidly and said, "Yes, you're the one who added the fourth lady. Because the Pingzhen Park was flooded, she …" "She …"

"How is she?" General Xiahou's face changed completely as he yelled in anger.

And because of his anger, he stepped forward and grabbed his eunuch's collar.

With just a slight force, he had almost completely lifted the eunuch up.

A few of the officials had their expressions change slightly, but none of them dared to stop him.

General Xiahou's actions were very disrespectful to the King of the Western Region.

No one dared to say.

"Fourth, Fourth Miss rushed into the house because she was anxious for the things left behind by the Madam. In the end, the fire kept Fourth Miss trapped in there for a long time before she was saved. When she was saved, her face … "Her face …"

The eunuch didn't say what he was going to say, but when he saw that General Xiahou looked like he was about to eat someone …

He could only swallow his saliva and muster up the courage to say, "... The right side of his face was severely injured, leaving behind a large amount of burns. The Witch Doctor said that in the future, he would probably leave behind scars that he wouldn't be able to leave behind for the rest of his life … "

"What —" General Xiahou's face was pale, anxious and angry.

"..." "Not going for life?" General Xiahou seemed to have taken a huge blow as he repeated this sentence in a low voice.

The eunuch's complexion completely changed. He was afraid that his feelings would be affected.

He was afraid that if General Xiahou were to be angered, he would be unable to protect his life.

"Ye Qian —" General Hou seemed to have just realized what was happening and growled in a low voice. He staggered a few steps and dashed forward — everyone who was sitting started to whisper timidly.

"What a pity. Fourth Miss Xiahou is a rare beauty …"

"That's not it... "He's also the daughter that General Xiahou doted on the most. With that scar on his face, how will we meet in the future …"

Those princes who knew this well all had different expressions on their faces.

If the young lady that General Xiahou doted upon was a prince who wanted to ascend the throne, who wouldn't want to marry his?

And among the ten or so princes, there was almost no one who didn't want to marry those whose age didn't match.

But hearing this news …

Even if they wanted to, who would be willing to spend the rest of their life facing a woman with a burn on her face?

Burn was no ordinary form of scaring.

Furthermore, he would marry her for the sake of the Xiahou Family's rights.

However, General Xiahou wasn't someone to be trifled with. He couldn't marry her and use her as a decoration, but he didn't like her.

Pet a woman with a large burn scar on her face for a wife, you know, even if the throne, what meaning is there?

"Go! Send a few more witch doctors to the general's manor!"

The Western Region King, who had been silent all this time, opened his mouth as he said, "Yes, this lowly one will go right away!"

The chattering immediately quietened down. Only in the corner, there was a person sitting on a chair. His gaze flashed past the cold light before he quietened down …

Inside the general's manor, Manqing was anxiously walking around Jingjing's bed.

The five Witch Doctors examined the bed, trying to think of a solution.

As General Xiahou paced back and forth in his room, the voodoo doctors trembled with fear. They were afraid that a single mistake would cost them their lives …

Everyone was very clear about General Xiahou's temper.

"How is it?" However, after a while, there was no reply from the witch doctor.

"The … the general …"

The leader of the medicine men quickly approached General Xiahou, trembling with fear. "There's no harm in getting injured, but …" he said in a low voice. "But …"

"But what?" General Xiahou said angrily.

"But Miss, I'm afraid there will be scars in the future, and there won't be any that can almost be removed …"

"Useless thing —" General Xiahou grew angry and slapped the witch doctor far away with his big hand.

"Groups of useless things, get out!"

General Xiahou pointed with his big hand and said to the door outside, "There's nothing wrong with your injuries, why are you leaving scars behind? What else do I need you to do?!" "Get out, get out …"

Those who were more timid would be scared out of their wits if they heard this shout.

Those who were at a disadvantage were those who served him on a daily basis. When they heard these words, they did not even dare to take a deep breath and quickly ran out as if they were escaping.

After a while, the room quieted down.

Even Manqing, who was in close proximity to him, retreated.

Silence reigned in the room, leaving the father and daughter in the room.

This was another unburned room in Puzhen Park.

General Xiahou sat there, carefully observing Jingjing's face.

Although there was no burn on the left side of his face, it was still very red.

The right side of his face, from under his eyes to under his chin, was charred and rotten.

Although the wound had stopped bleeding, it looked extremely ugly.

Mixed with the black medicinal juice, it was an unspeakably ugly sight to behold.

Such a beautiful girl with this scar, even if he accidentally saw her wake up in the middle of the night, he would be shocked.

However, the grief and indignation in General Xiahou's eyes slowly disappeared.

Instead, he put on a satisfied expression.

He nodded slightly and said to himself, "I almost thought it was true."

Hearing this seemingly strange words, the unconscious person lying on the bed slowly opened his eyes.

He first narrowed his eyes for a moment, and when he was certain that there was no one else in the room, he opened them completely.
