When the female supporting role has a beauty system

Chapter 1424 Jin Yue 25
The bleeding on Lin Jinzhu's face had stopped, but she was now more concerned about something else: "What about my face..."

She could see her wound; the needle had gone in too deep. Even if it healed, would it leave a scar?

The doctor hesitated for a moment: "Let the injury heal first. I've heard that the Jade Complexion Cream in the palace can remove scars and fade marks."

The words didn't need to be explicitly stated; Lin Jinzhu understood. This would definitely leave a scar. Her body went limp, and tears immediately streamed down her face.

If I were disfigured, would Pei Yun still treat me so intimately? Most men are attracted to good looks, and Pei Yun is no exception.

Seeing her tears rolling down her cheeks, the doctor said urgently, "If the wound gets wet with tears, it will be even harder to heal."

Lin Jinzhu hastily wiped away her tears. No matter what, she still cared about her face. Between disfigurement and the snakes, Lin Jinzhu clearly considered her face more important.

Pei Yun sat beside her, equally puzzled. Why had a swarm of snakes, which should have been hibernating, suddenly appeared in his bedroom while he was resting peacefully?

He was startled just now, and his hands are still shaking a little.

The doctor applied medicine to Lin Jinzhu's face and put on a dressing. Lin Jinzhu forced a smile: "Husband, it's late, let's get some rest. You have to go to court tomorrow."

Pei Yun dared not lie on this canopy bed that had been overrun by snakes any longer. He stood up and said, "I'll sleep in the study tonight. You should get settled in early."

He abandoned Lin Jinzhu and left, leaving her staring wide-eyed at his retreating figure. Pei Yun feared the snakes might return, and so did she. She grasped the hand of her maid, Cuizhu, who had accompanied her on her dowry: "Cuizhu, prepare the side room; I'll sleep there tonight."

Cuizhu's legs went weak, and she dared not linger in the main room. As soon as Lin Jinzhu spoke, Cuizhu and several head maids hurriedly ran off. From that day forward, the main room became a nightmare for all the maids and servants.

Meanwhile, in the courtyard of the Qi family in the Lin residence.

Lin Yuan prided himself on being a man of integrity and always valued rules and regulations. He was certain he would stay in the main courtyard on the fifteenth. That night, like Qi Shi, he was awakened by a swarm of snakes that felt like a mountain pressing down on him.

The screams from Fuguang Academy nearly pierced the sky; it was said that nearby doctors had been summoned to the Lin residence. This time, however, not only Qi Shi, but even Lin Yuan couldn't escape; both of them received a loving kiss from the snake baby.

Watching the chaotic scene at the Pei and Lin residences, Tan You smiled and turned off the light screen. "It's just a small interest payment, just a disfigurement, what's the big deal?"
The Qi family had cultivated deep roots in the Lin household for many years. Lin Jinyu had also been appointed to an official post outside the capital, and his career was expected to advance further. Qi's disfigurement was merely a matter of not being favored by Lin Yuan, but her eldest son was successful, so this incident did not damage the Qi family's foundation.

As for Lin Jinzhu, it's even simpler. Lin Jinzhu has a son, and as long as the Lin family doesn't fall, Pei Yun has to treat her son well. Even if Lin Jinzhu is disfigured, it won't harm her son's interests.

Therefore, to deal with these two, we need to take action against Lin Jinyu.

Lin Jinyu has fallen, and they can no longer be so smug.

Tan You was woken up by Cheng Sui in the morning. The little guy got up early and dragged Cheng Qian to spar with him, completely disregarding the fact that Cheng Qian was still injured.

Cheng Sui remembered Tan You's words: Cheng Qian was his biological father, and he should use him when necessary.

Tan You got up, still wrapped in the blanket, and brushed a few wet streaks of hair from Cheng Sui's temples: "Have you done your morning exercise?"

Cheng Sui lay on the quilt: "Mmm, Mother, get up. I want to eat wontons today."

"Go find Aunt Xiaohan." Tan You pushed his forehead. "I'll wash up first."

Cheng Sui: "Yun-ge'er, take care of your mother's washing up. Aunt Guyu, go and tell Aunt Xiaohan that we're having wontons this morning."

Gu Yu glanced at Tan You, and seeing Tan You wave her hand, she knelt down and put the handkerchief aside: "This servant will go to the small kitchen now. Besides wontons, what else would Yun-ge'er like to eat?"

Cheng Sui shook his head: "No, I'll eat whatever Auntie makes. Aunt Xiaohan is a good cook, everything she makes is delicious."

Gu Yu smiled and said, "Yun-ge'er and the young lady are becoming more and more alike, they both know how to compliment people." Cheng Sui was happiest when he heard others say that he looked like Tan You. He smiled and hugged Tan You's leg, rubbing against her, "Hehe, I was raised by my mother, so I must look like her."

Gu Yu went to the small kitchen to help prepare breakfast. After washing up, Tan You led Cheng Sui to sit down at the small table: "You came to see me so early, it wasn't just for a bowl of wontons, was it?"

Cheng Sui climbed onto another stool: "I knew I couldn't hide it from Mother. Mother, how is she?"

“I know,” Cheng Qian said uninvited, sitting down comfortably opposite Tan You and pouring himself a cup of tea.

He knew Tan You had plenty of good stuff, and since Tan You was in a good mood, he wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to eat some. He worried that if he didn't replenish his energy, he wouldn't survive more than three days in Cheng Sui's clutches.

Tan You ignored Cheng Qian and just looked at Cheng Sui: "Then let's watch a movie together."

Cheng blinked, not understanding what watching a movie meant.

At this moment, only Tan You, Cheng Qian, and Cheng Sui were in the main room. Tan You then turned on the screen edited by the beauty system, which showed everything that happened to Lin Jinzhu and Qi Shi last night.

Cheng Sui, resting his chubby chin on his hand, said, "Only disfigured? That's too mild."

Tan You nodded: "It is indeed too light."

Cheng Sui said with some regret, "Sigh, there wasn't enough powder yesterday."

Tan You, however, did not express regret about that: "That is, after all, a minor trick. It can only be described as a small prank, far from causing serious harm."

Cheng Sui sighed, "It will be harder to make a move next time."

Cheng Qian felt a chill run down his spine. "Aren't you satisfied yet?"

Cheng Sui ignored him, "My aunt and grandmother are injured, but it's not a big deal. Just like Mother said, it's far from being a serious injury. It's really heartbreaking for them..."

He suddenly clapped his hands: "It must be my uncle, right?"

Cheng Qian suddenly looked up and saw that the chubby boy and Tan You were already discussing how to deal with Lin Jinyu. One of them was talking, and the other was even praising and trying to cover for him.

Cheng Qian had a splitting headache.

He began to doubt Master Guangzhi's words once again. How could such a jinx be full of merit?

"I heard that Master Guangzhi has stepped down as abbot of Baima Temple."

Cheng Qian didn't want to hear any more of this. He had the illusion that the more he knew, the more he had become an accomplice, so he simply changed the subject.

Tan You has received Guang Zhi's letter: "I know, we'll go to Baima Temple to offer incense in a little while."

As they were talking, breakfast was served. The small dining table was quite lively. Cheng Sui was a chatterbox, and Tan You didn't restrain him. The little guy said whatever came to mind, as free as a little colt.

Cheng Qian lost his appetite; he felt completely powerless in the Duke's mansion. His Lin Ge'er was gone, but Cheng Sui, his legitimate son, now looked at him like an enemy.

Neither father nor son, yet Cheng Qian dared not utter a single complaint. What could he say? If he hadn't been in the wrong first, how could things have come to this?
And... when will Lin Jinyue wake up?
