I'm already a concubine, who wants to fight with you?

Chapter 39 Disguise
Xie Fei really had no impression of Yuan San's true appearance.

Five years ago, Yuan San was about to die, so she naturally paid more attention to the injuries on Yuan San's body, and didn't care much about the face that was cut several times, with each cut revealing the bone.

If Yuan San had used the medicine she gave him later, he would have recovered by now.

Unfortunately, this most ordinary mask seemed to be welded to his face and could not be removed no matter what he did.

Xie Fei felt itchy and tried every way to uncover it, but unfortunately Yuan San easily fooled her every time, which made her more and more curious.

Xie Fei thought to herself, as long as the green mountains remain, there will be no shortage of firewood. One day, she will see the true appearance of this face!

While thinking about all sorts of things, Xie Fei fell into a deep sleep in the second half of the night.

When she was about to fall, Yuan San reached out and held her up.

After hesitating for a while, he gently moved over so that she could lean on his shoulder and sleep peacefully.

The next morning, when Xie Fei woke up, he was already in bed.

There were still ashes in the middle of the room. The door was closed, but Yuan San was not there.

Xie Fei lazily got up and peeked out the small window. It was still raining outside, but it was not raining very heavily and only the roar of autumn thunder could be heard occasionally.

Her clothes had already dried. After changing into them, she went to the stove and saw hot water, porridge, and two eggs.

After washing up and having breakfast, Yuan Sancai came back carrying a wooden barrel.

"Big Head, where have you been so early in the morning?"

Yuan San walked under the eaves and placed the wooden barrel in front of the threshold. Xie Fei leaned over to take a look.

"Oh, it's a fish?"

Yuan San smiled and pointed to the river: "Last night the water level rose and the fish and shrimp in the river were washed onto the shore. In the morning the water level receded, leaving behind many fish and shrimp."

He had already picked up two rounds of live fish and shrimps. All the wooden barrels and basins in the house were filled with live fish and shrimps, and the dead ones were hung up randomly.

Xie Fei became interested as soon as he heard it, and quickly tied up his loose hair casually, "Wait for me, I want to go too!"

Yuan San originally wanted to tell her that it was muddy and slippery everywhere and it was difficult to walk, but seeing that she was so excited, he just let her go.

Xie Fei carried the bamboo basket and quickly walked to the riverside. As expected, he saw many fish, shrimps and crabs struggling in the mud on the mudflats.

She took off her shoes, walked barefoot in the mud, and threw the river fish into the basket back and forth. Her laughter was clearer than a silver bell.

It was autumn, and the fish and shrimps in the river were fat. Occasionally, you could catch crabs and turn up river clams, and soon the bucket would be full.

They originally planned to go back after the rain stopped, but Xie Fei wanted to play more, and waited until after noon before letting Yuan San take her back to the village.

Because he climbed over the wall, no one saw him.

Fu Yu heard the noise and came to greet her. Seeing that the human skin mask on Xie Fei's face was gone, he asked in surprise, "Girl, are you caught in the rain?"

"Go get me the disguise box." Xie Fei walked into the room quickly and asked, "Mother Liu and Madam Sun didn't come last night or today, right?"

Fu Yu said as she searched for the box, "It started raining not long after I came back last night, and it didn't stop until noon, so no one was walking around in the village. Just a quarter of an hour ago, Mama Liu sent two fish over, saying that after the water level rose and receded, the men were all picking up fish by the river."

Just as she finished speaking, she heard the sound of water splashing in the kitchen.

It was Yuan San who poured two buckets of fish and shrimp into the water tank, together with the river fish that he had raised before, filling the entire water tank with fresh goods.

Xie Fei sat down in front of the dressing table. The girl in the brass mirror was bright, lively, and charming, which was very different from her usual inconspicuous appearance.

She quickly opened the disguise box. Fortunately, there were still a lot of materials left, so she just did a simple makeup to deal with the person.

If you want to make it as realistic and natural as before, you need some more materials.

Fu Yu went to the kitchen, took out the pig skin and fish skin and boiled them into jelly. He also took some medicinal herbs such as cinnabar, Atractylodes, Bupleurum and Astragalus and poured them into the jelly. He was very busy.

Yuan San leaned lazily against the door, staring at Xie Fei who was applying medicine on his face.

In less than an hour, Xie Fei's facial features gradually changed. His round and crystal clear almond eyes shrank slightly, his eye corners became blunt, and his eyelids became swollen and thickened, covering most of his eyelashes.

The eyebrows are drawn thickly, boldly and long, but a closer look reveals that they have been trimmed, and are not the rough and thick eyebrows seen on big and strong men.

The lip beads are covered and the whole lip is very thick, not as thick as a sausage, but it looks a bit protruding and red, which is not good-looking.

The facial contour is changed by using pig skin jelly. The originally delicate and elegant face is made as square as possible, giving a sense of a simple and rough woman.

Fu Yu looked in the mirror, then at Xie Fei, and laughed out loud.

"If I saw this look, not to mention the playboy Master Pei, even I would have to call him ugly."

Xie Fei retorted: "This is not ugly, this is an ordinary and healthy appearance."

Her face was modeled after some of Xie's father's facial features, and it looks similar, but not completely similar.

Otherwise, all the girls in the Xie family are beauties like angels, but she herself is extremely ugly and looks nothing like anyone. There might be rumors that she is not the daughter of Xie's father.

After all, when Xie's father was young, he was a famous handsome man.

Before I was completely done with my makeup, the rain stopped and someone knocked on the door.

"Xie Xiaoniang, are you there? Miss Fuyu? Is anyone there?"

Fu Yu's heart skipped a beat, "Oh no, it's Madam Zou!"

Xie Fei said: "When you go see her, tell her that I have caught a cold and won't be seeing anyone for the time being."

"Yes." Fu Yu hurried out.

Just in case, Xie Fei also lay down on the bed and let down the mosquito net.

"Big Head, you're hiding too."

Yuan San dodged sideways and went into the house, hiding behind the door.

I thought that Madam Zou would be sent away by Fu Yu, but she didn't even listen to what Fu Yu said and ran straight around Fu Yu and into the house.

"Thank you, little lady. God has blessed me this time. My husband..."

"Madam Zou, you can't go in. My daughter is catching a cold..."

Seeing this, Yuan San scanned the room with his sharp eyes, and for a moment there was nowhere to hide.

The room was small to begin with, with few furnitures, and everything was visible at a glance. There were things piled under the bed, so there was no room for lying down.

Fu Yu, who was outside the door, was extremely anxious. Seeing Madam Zou stepping into the door, he almost wanted to rush up, grab her by the waist and drag her out.

But this would make too much noise and Madam Zou would become suspicious.

Madam Zou walked into the room happily, but saw that the mosquito net over the bed was down.

The mosquito net in the village is made of gauze, unlike the heavy curtains in the wealthy families. It is just one or two layers of white gauze to keep out mosquitoes, so it cannot completely block out the situation on the bed.

Through the gauze curtain, Madam Zou vaguely saw Xie Fei half leaning against the head of the bed, with his black hair falling like a waterfall.

"Hey, Miss Xie, what's wrong with you?"

Fu Yu bumped into her unhappily, then stood beside the bed, blocking her view.

"I told you that my girl caught a cold, but you didn't even listen."

Xie Fei coughed twice at the right time and said, "It's my fault that I was too playful yesterday and opened the window to enjoy the rain, so I caught a cold."

Madam Zou felt guilty and distressed, "Xie Xiao Niang, it's my fault. I was in a hurry to bring you something and didn't listen to what Miss Fu Yu said. I'm sorry for disturbing your peace."
