Competing in acting? Who's afraid of who?
If you dare make a move, I'll do it.
Lian Ruyue revealed a "benevolent" smile, bent down in front of the crowd, took off the thorns around Lian Shiya, then used both hands to help her up and said, "Third sister, you and I are sisters, there is no barrier that we can't cross. As long as you truly repent, big sister will not argue with you.
"Thank you, Big Sis." Lian Shi Ya stood up and suddenly hugged Lian Ru Yue with force. She leaned on Lian Ru Yue's body and started wailing bitterly. She cried for a while before she raised her head.
Lian Ruyue took out a handkerchief from her sleeve and slowly wiped away the tears on her face. She gently said, "Third Sister, don't cry anymore. You're our capital's number one beauty. If you cry like this, your eyes will become swollen and unbeautiful."
A trace of hatred flashed through her eyes. She clearly knew that she was limping and saying something like "the number one beauty" was clearly on purpose. She really wanted to slap Lian Meng Yue's face, but, no, in this mansion, everyone only recognizes the eldest miss and not the third miss.
A hint of a forced smile appeared on her face, while the corners of her mouth still twitched. "Big sis, you clearly know my foot, and yet you're still making fun of me."
"Oh, I'm sorry." Lian Ruyue had an apologetic look on her face as she tightly held her hand and said, "Third sister, please don't take offense to your looks. I even forgot to look at your feet."
"No problem. Actually, I'm already used to it." Lian Shiya slightly lowered her head, sighed, and said dejectedly.
"Don't be discouraged third sister, don't you know how to treat doctors yourself? If I study the medical books carefully, I might be able to think of a solution. " Lian Ru Yue looked at her "lovingly" and said.
"..." I hope so. " Lian Shiya's hands lightly trembled as she said, "Big Sister, can I go sit in your courtyard? Come to think of it, us sisters are always quarreling. Even when you moved to the Immortal Lotus Courtyard, I never properly entered and sat down. "
"Sure, come in. You must have been kneeling here for such a long time. Your legs must have gone numb. Qingdai, prepare some refreshments." Lian Xiyue ordered with a smile at the corner of her eyes.
Entering the Immortal Lotus Courtyard, Lian Shiya looked at the decorations and furnishings of the Moon Courtyard. There was a pool of rosewood furniture all around, and there were all kinds of antiques and precious treasures on the pavilion. As for the calligraphy and paintings on the walls, they were all real works, and each one of them was worth a lot of money.
Right now, her Clear Spring Academy had been defeated, and she, the county magistrate's third young miss, had become a living joke in the eyes of others. Her birth mother had been abandoned, and the servants' attitude towards her was neither hot or cold.
Lian Ruyue was in the middle of the sun. The heaven and earth of the Prime Minister's Estate had been completely turned around.
"Third Miss, have some tea." Qing Dai brought a teacup to Lian Shiya.
"Oh, okay, okay." Lian Shiya took the teacup and drank a mouthful in a flurry. "Ah, it's so hot …" She quickly covered her mouth and the teacup in her hand fell to the ground with a 'pa' sound. It even wet her clothes. When the hot tea fell on her body, she stood up with a shriek.
Her actions were as if she was someone who had never seen the world, unlike a county governor at all.
"Third sister, are you alright? This tea has just been brewed, you should drink it slowly." Lian Ruyue hurriedly stood up and said.
"So, so painful …" Tears welled up in Lian Shiya's eyes as she pitifully cried softly.
Lian Ruyue lowered her head to look. The back of her hand was burned red by the hot tea and her clothes were wet. She was afraid that she was also scalded. If she didn't change it in time, then it would burn her skin.
"Qingdai, go get some ointment, Seventh Treasure and Loop Water. You two, take Third Miss to my inner room and change." Lian Ruyue ordered:
"Yes." The maidservants went about their business.
"Thank you, thank you elder sister." Lian Shiya endured the burning pain and followed the two maidservants into Lian Ruyue's room. After entering the room, she immediately took off her clothes. Sure enough, a large patch of red had appeared under the clothes.
"The scalding ointment has been brought over. This servant will help Third Young Miss apply it." On the other side, Fairy Qingmei took the ointment, but when she saw the Third Miss, she could not smile.
"No, no, no, there's no need. You guys wait outside, I'll wipe it myself." Lian Shiya's face flushed red as she spoke.
Qing Dai took a look and saw that her burns were all over her thigh. She bowed and said, "Your servant will wait outside the door. Third Miss can call for your servant when you've finished painting."
"No, no, you don't have to go out. You just stand outside the screen. This is Big Sis's room. If I stay alone in her room, I'm afraid someone might gossip about me." Lian Shiya was like a different person, timid and cautious.
"Yes, this servant obeys." Qing Dai turned around and walked out of the screen with the other two maidservants. He could vaguely see Lian Shiya's bent over as she applied the medicine.
Lian Ruyue waited outside for around an hour before Lian Shiya changed clothes and walked over to her and said, "Big sister, I've already applied medicine and changed my clothes."
"How is it, you didn't suffer any serious injuries, right?" Lian Ruyue looked at her and asked with concern.
"A patch of red, luckily I had applied the medicine in time and didn't have any burns. Big Sis had me change my clothes in time after losing everything." Lian Shiya said gratefully.
"As a precaution, let's invite Doctor Lu over to take a look." Lian Ruyue said.
"That's what I thought too, sister. I'll be leaving first. Thank you, big sister." Lian Shiya bowed and said.
"Alright." Lian Ruyue had a smile on her face as she sent Lian Shiya all the way to the door. Lian Shiya seemed to have been relieved of a heavy burden as she heaved a sigh of relief before turning around and leaving.
Walking out of the Immortal Lotus Courtyard, the smile on Lian Shiya's face deepened, but there was a hint of coldness within that smile. She lowered her head and quickly walked towards her Clear Spring Courtyard.
When they returned to Clear Spring Academy, Bai Wei came over to welcome them. When she saw that Lian Shiya's hands were red, she was shocked and hurriedly said, "Third Miss, what happened? Did you get scalded with water because Big Sis didn't understand?"
"No, I did it on purpose." Lian Shiya walked all the way back to her room. With a cold expression, she took off her clothes, took the scissors, clenched her teeth hatefully, and cut open Lian Meng Yue's clothes. As she picked them up, she said, "I displayed a panicked expression, but they really thought that I became timid and cowardly because my mother was kicked out of the Prime Minister's Palace. How would they know my true goal?"
"Third Miss, what is your real purpose?" Bai Wei asked.
Lian Shiya's scissors in her hand froze as she raised her eyes to look at her, and her eyes emitted a coldness.
Bai Wei jumped up in fright and quickly kneeled down. "Third Miss, last time, the medicine for Madam really had nothing to do with this servant. Song mama said it was to give madam a baby antidote, so this servant believed it to be true, which is why …" "Only now …"
