When he was not taking off his veil, at least he still had a thought, and that was to make him feel that Xiao Tian Xin was by his side whenever she wanted to. But once she took it off, if the face behind the veil wasn't Xiao Tian Xin, he didn't know how to accept this reality.
Just like this, he left from the backyard, full of worry about his personal gains and losses. No, he escaped.
After Yan Jue left, mute sister collapsed onto the ground and finally broke down in tears. However, no matter how much pain she cried, she was still unable to make a sound.
Her veil was slowly torn off, revealing an ugly face. On the right side of her face, there was a large area of burn marks. The scabs had already been peeled off, leaving behind a bright red scar that caused one to feel nauseous.
She gently lifted her hand to touch her right cheek. Ever since she escaped from the sea of fire, she no longer dared to look at herself in the mirror. This ugly face, even she didn't dare look at herself.
That's right, Yan Jue was right, she was Liu Tian Xin, a Liu Tian Xin who had already died once.
That day, she had followed the xieqing's men back to the xieqing. That father of hers, had blamed her for spoiling his good fortune, and had rewarded her with a total of three hundred whips, and three hundred whips …
She didn't even know that she was so lucky. Even after three hundred lashes, she was still alive and lying in her own chamber. She could no longer move, and her life and death was unpredictable.
She thought that would be it, when Yan Jue came to apply, no matter how unwilling Liu Cheng He was, he wouldn't dare to reject his proposal. When she leaves xieqing, she would have no relation with him at all.
Results...
She still did not think too deeply about Liu Cheng He's bad behavior. That beast's conscience was simply enough to eat a wild beast.
She was his own daughter, and he could be cruel enough to have three hundred lashes and send someone to burn her.
She lay on her bed and watched as he sent his men to light her room and how the fire was growing stronger and stronger. She wanted to run, she couldn't, she couldn't move.
In the end, she managed to get out of bed with difficulty while enduring the tearing pain in her back. Only then did she move to the mechanism, press the button, and escape through the secret passage.
If it hadn't been for the secret passage, she might have been buried there.
She had escaped through the secret passage, only to be saved along the way by a barefoot doctor. Although her life had been saved, the burn wounds on her back and face would never recover.
And her voice, smothered in smoke during that fire, could not speak again.
She spent a lot of effort to arrive at Easternum, so she could only hide in the darkness and watch him. Seeing him sad because of her death, she didn't dare to come out and see him.
She didn't want to put on a face that was ugly to the point of being frightening, or a voice that would never come out. Before him, she could only gesture with her hand, just like before, and no matter how hard she tried, he couldn't understand what she was talking about.
He might not be able to forget his old feelings for a while. He would not dislike her, but in the future, would he, a carefree and noble princess, a noble prince, be able to make his wife ugly and dumb?
Rather than making him despise her in the future and be kicked out of the manor in a sorry state, it would be better to just stand by his side quietly as a servant, watching him marry a girl worthy of him.
However, just thinking of that moment made her feel as if her heart had been crushed to pieces. She was in so much pain that she wished she were dead.
Tears fell silently, soaking the veil that she had torn off.
Yan Jue had practically fled back to the main courtyard. He was afraid that if he stayed there any longer, he would not be able to control himself and would have to take off her veil.
He poured himself a cup of tea, his hands still trembling as he lifted the cup.
He was used to drinking a few cups of water before he finally managed to calm down, "She is Xiao Tian Xin, she is Xiao Tian Xin …"
He closed his eyes and kept repeating the same words, as if he was hypnotizing himself and at the same time making his guess firm.
The next second, his face turned cold again. It was as if a layer of ice had formed in his eyes. He gathered all the coldness in his body and furrowed his brows.
That fire, had it hurt her throat and ruined her face? That's why …
He remembered those eyes that were filled with grief and inferiority, that silent sobbing, he imagined her hoarsely begging him in her heart not to take off her veil, but no matter what she did, he could not utter a sound of helplessness. Yan Jue's throat felt astringent, his eyes suddenly reddened, and his throat felt swollen and painful as if it was stuck on a huge rock.
On the second day, news spread out from the palace. The prince had specified that he wanted the mute sister to serve him personally, and other than the prince's matters, she was not allowed to handle matters that were told to her by anyone else. If anyone found it too tiring to work on their hands, they could leave the palace at any time.
Because of the order given by the prince himself, everyone was shocked and frightened.
They were new to bullying mute sister, and didn't know how to speak. They would make things difficult for her, take advantage of her, and let mute sister do things that he wasn't willing to do.
However, the meaning behind his words was that he already knew of this matter and planned to support the mute sister.
Many people began to feel uneasy, afraid that they would be chased out by the prince.
And at the same time that they were afraid, there were naturally some people who were jealous of the mute sister.
A mute with an ugly face, how did he obtain the azure eyes of the prince, allowing the prince to call out her name and have her serve him personally?
Everyone knew that the prince hadn't married his wife, and didn't have a concubine by his side, or even a servant girl. Some of the more attractive maids didn't have the opportunity to attract the prince's attention so they could climb onto his bed.
But the mute sister actually had the Duke personally order her to serve him.
It was impossible to say that they were not jealous or envious, even if the current mute sister was much more pitiful than them.
But no matter how pitiful she was, who gave her the chance to stay by the prince's side? Who wouldn't want to stay by his side to serve such a noble and noble man? Even if it was only a girl, they would still be willing to do it, but this kind of opportunity actually gave an ugly mute.
When Liu Tian Xin heard this news, he was not surprised at all. The resolute expression in his eyes when Yan Jue left yesterday, had already let her understand that Yan Jue was not joking.
The man seemed to be unreliable, but when he really did something, he was absolutely honest. It was just that he hid his decisiveness and ruthlessness under a playful leather bag. He seemed to be very close, but in reality, it was not easy to talk about, he had already decided on something, and there was nothing he could do about it.
Therefore, Liu Tian Xin knew that she would either go and serve Yan Jue or leave the Prince Lu's Mansion.
