Chapter 13 - Disfigurement
"My face?"
Madame Prime Minister was still tidying up his messy clothes, and did not immediately react after hearing Mo Jingyuan's words.
Puzzled, she raised her hand and touched her cheek. She only felt a heart-wrenching pain.
"Ah ~ my face!"
She covered her face and without thinking, she slapped Gui mama in the face. With eyes filled with rage, she shouted, "Slut, what did you do!?"
"Madam, please spare my life. This servant did not do it on purpose."
With a loud thump, Gui mama kneeled down, and kowtowed towards Madame Prime Minister.
She knew that she had not done anything wrong, but now that Madam thought she had done so, she had no right to retort.
The only thing she could do was to beg her mistress to quickly release her anger so that she could escape calamity.
Madame Prime Minister was both worried and afraid now. She could feel the burning pain on her face and she could imagine how it must be like on her own face.
Of course, what she was worried about wasn't the pain, but was it possible that her face would be disfigured?
Once she lost her looks, the Prime Minister was very likely to put all his care and affection on his aunt, and she would end up like that lowly Xi Tinglan. Not only would she die without a complete corpse, she would have been directly abandoned by the Prime Minister as a sin of seven times.
The more he thought about it, the more scared he became.
"This lowly slave did a good deed for you!" "Hurry up and get the doctor here. If there's even a little mark on my face, I'll take your life!"
"Yes, yes, yes. Your servant will go now." Gui mama rolled and crawled his way out, his face full of fear.
"What did you see?" Madame Prime Minister covered his face, as his ice-cold gaze swept over everyone present, including Mo Xiyan.
Everyone hurriedly lowered their heads and shook their heads, "This servant didn't see anything."
Hahaha … Mo Xiyan lowered her head along with these people, but she was extremely happy in her heart.
This good show was really enjoyable. Gentle and virtuous were all fakes!
This Shen Hongqin's image to the outside world was indeed all her act. Look, didn't all of this leak out?
"Good, remember what you said."
Madame Prime Minister nodded in satisfaction, he raised his hand and once again touched the painful wound, his temper exploded again, "Damned Gui mama, calling for a doctor is not here yet, what's the use of asking her!"
"Mother, don't be angry. There's no need to be angry because of these servants."
Mo Jingyuan finally recovered from it at this point, she walked to Madame Prime Minister's side and said gently, "I don't think it's suitable for me to ask about my little sister's matters today, so I'll let them leave first.
Her voice was soft and gentle, like the surface of a finger facing the spring wind. It indeed had the effect of calming a person's heart.
Madame Prime Minister had always doted on her, so when she said this, the tendons in her heart finally started to twitch.
Her gaze swept across Mo Xiyan and Mo Qingwei who were kneeling on the ground, and said in a deep voice: "Pitiful Yan, I heard that the Prime Minister has already banned your feet, so I won't keep you here anymore. Quickly go back, so your father won't be angry."
"As for you, Mo Qingwei, you were born as the Prime Minister's daughter, yet you were able to coexist with others before marriage. This is truly a degrading matter, today you will first strike twenty canes, and then receive a little punishment. As for your future path, I will make a decision after asking your father."
"No, Madam, please let me go. This servant truly knows my wrongs!" Hearing that, Mo Qingwei immediately rushed to Madame Prime Minister's feet, and hugged her legs as he begged, "This servant doesn't dare, I beg you, please forgive me this once."
Mo Xiyan ignored her, and after bowing to Madame Prime Minister like the original owner, she turned around and left.
She quickly returned to her own courtyard. The entrance was still guarded, and there was even a metal chain tied to the entrance.
Seeing her return, the guard opened the door and let her in.
Mo Xiyan who had watched the show was in a good mood, her body swaying as she walked in, causing the guards to look at each other in dismay.
After she entered, the courtyard door was locked again.
Soon after, she found out that Little Peach wasn't in the courtyard. It seemed like she wanted to let her live and die on her own.
She didn't mind at all. After returning to her room, she climbed into bed and took a nap.
After sleeping for an unknown period of time, the sky had already darkened and Mo Xiyan was awoken by her hunger.
"The sky is already dark, why is no one bringing food over?"
She touched her empty stomach and thought for a moment. "Forget it, I'll go to the kitchen to look for it. Prime Minister's Estate is such a big family, I'll definitely find something to eat."
Mo Xiyan got off the bed, pushed open the door and stood in the courtyard to observe the situation, then walked towards the shortest wall in the west.
According to the original owner's memories, the kitchen was in this direction, and it was not far from this small courtyard.
Although her superpower had yet to return to its peak, her instincts and vigilance that she had practiced for many years in this world were still more than enough to avoid the guards in the Prime Minister's Estate.
Therefore, she didn't encounter any trouble on her way to the kitchen.
In fact, even without the original owner's memory, she could feel the kitchen.
After all, for her who had lived through the apocalypse, there was no other profession that was as professional as looking for food.
Her luck was good. When she got to the kitchen, there was no one there.
However, thinking about it, it was normal. After all, it was already late in the month, and the ancient people were still sleeping early.
Just as Mo Xiyan pushed open the kitchen door and walked in, Qing Qing suddenly jumped out from the space and started spinning happily.
"Little thing, your sense of taste is really sharp."
Originally, Mo Xiyan had planned to call Qing Qing out to eat together. Now that it had jumped out by itself, it was just nice.
She picked up Qing Qing and walked towards the kitchen where the fragrance was the thickest.
When he opened the door of the kitchen, he was instantly attracted by the cold dishes inside.
"Looks like we can have a big meal tonight." Mo Xiyan beamed as she looked at the large fish and meat filling the kitchen cabinets.
Qing Qing also mewled, showing that she was in quite a good mood.
However, thinking about it, it was true that the ancient times were full of the smell of wine and meat, so it was normal that there were such things in Prime Minister's Estate.
Mo Xiyan unrestrainedly brought out all of these dishes, placed the fish in front of Qing Qing, then tore off the chicken leg and started to eat.
A man and a cat quickly ate the delicious food at a speed that could be seen by the naked eye.
With a wave of her hand, she collected the remaining roasted chicken and roast duck and other food into the space. She then carried Qing Qing out of the crime scene without the slightest burden on her heart.
This could also be considered as taking back some interest for the original owner. After all, in the original owner's memories, Mo Xiyan saw her live a miserable life of life that never ended even after one meal.
Furthermore, Prime Minister's Estate was so rich, losing food was simply not a big deal.
Mo Xiyan rolled her eyes and took away the rice jar and pickled vegetables in the kitchen.
When there was nothing left to move in the kitchen, she clapped her hands and left with Qing Qing.
After eating his fill, Mo Xiyan did not rush back to his own courtyard. Instead, he began to wander around in the Prime Minister's Estate.
She discovered that in the entire palace, the place with the brightest light was Madame Prime Minister Shen Hongqin's courtyard.
This woman had injured the Prime Minister in the day, so she must be working with the Prime Minister right?
He wondered if this cheap father would treat a woman with a ruined face as a true love.
Thinking about it, Mo Xiyan laughed sinisterly. She suddenly thought of a good idea, that she could help this lady try it out.
