Sir, can you marry me?

Chapter 22

The old doctor sat down and motioned Chunxi to put his left hand up first for him to feel his pulse.After finishing the number with his left hand, he asked Chunxi to stretch out his right hand.After the pulses on both sides were checked, he said: "The girl's blood is calm and there is no serious problem. It's just that the girl has something on her mind recently? Judging from the pulse, the girl is overly worried and a little haggard."

Chunxi knew that the old doctor was skilled in medicine, so he said, "In the past few days, I especially miss my father who has passed away, and I miss my mother and younger brother in my hometown."

"Oh." The old doctor nodded sympathetically.It is human nature to miss parents and relatives.

Chunli asked eagerly, "Doctor, will Chunxi's face fully recover after applying your ointment?" Both she and Zhao's mother were very worried, because the wound on Chunxi's cheek was as long as a finger, and the wound was still a little deep.

"Miss Chunli, ordinary knife wound medicines are only used to stop bleeding and promote wound healing." The old doctor sighed, "Miss Chunxi's wound is very long, and it's not shallow, leaving a scar for sure."

Chunxi lowered her eyes and said nothing, as if she was very sad.

Chun Li asked anxiously, "Doctor, do you have any elixir for scar removal?"

Zhao's mother also said anxiously: "Doctor, what can you say about the girl's family after leaving such a long scar? Think of a way to see if you can make the scar on her face so light that it can't be seen at first glance."

The old doctor shook his head and said, "Miss Chunxi has too long scars on her face, and ordinary doctors can't help her to lighten the scars. I heard that the imperial pharmacy in the palace has ointment that removes old skin and regenerates new skin. After applying it for a while, it will be fine. Get rid of the scars. But it is used by the ladies in the palace, and it is impossible for ordinary people to get it."

"Sister Chunli, Mother Zhao, you don't have to worry about me. It might be my fate to lose my appearance. I'm a maid, so my face is not that important." Chunxi comforted Chunli and Mother Zhao.All she wanted was to be disfigured. If the scars were really healed, her pain would be in vain.

Mother Zhao immediately sighed, "Silly girl..." Without a good face, this girl who has signed a contract to sell herself to death can't even get the good deed of turning herself into a concubine. In the future, she can only match some old or widowed ones Domestic servants, children and grandchildren are also slaves.

"Chunxi, what a pity, why did you hurt your face?" Chunli sighed, sincerely feeling sorry for Chunxi.After Chunxi became my uncle's housemaid, if she won my uncle's heart, she might even be able to take her as a concubine.As long as she becomes an official concubine, the death contract that Chunxi signed before will be void.Chunxi's luck is really bad this time!

"If you lose your horse, you know it's not a blessing, so let's go. Seeing this, Chunli had no choice but to follow.

Mrs. He, Liu Yuzhi, Miss Chunli, Mother Zhao, don't worry about me. "Chunxi said calmly.

The old doctor looked at Chunxi in surprise. It was rare for him to meet a female family member of a wealthy family who was so calm and optimistic.

The old doctor got up and said: "Miss Chunxi, you just suffered some trauma, so you don't need to prescribe another prescription. You apply this box of oily ointment for knife wounds every morning, noon and evening. Buy a box for use. You don’t talk these days, and it’s better to use your left teeth when eating, so as not to affect the muscles and skin on the right face, so that they can grow faster.”

Chunxi listened, got up, said with a slight blessing, "Thank you doctor."

The old doctor nodded to the calm and polite servant girl, and then mother Zhao sent her out of the back house.

Chunxi Chunli sent the old doctor out of Xiefangyuan, and then turned back.Chun Li said: "Chunxi, you can go back to your room and rest, I will take care of you, miss. I will ask someone to go to the kitchen to take care of you later, and I will cook some porridge for you."

Chunxi said in a low voice, "I'll go see Miss."

Chun Li was slightly taken aback, and then said: "If Miss sees your current appearance, I'm afraid it's not good." Miss hates ugly things, if Chun Xi looks like this now, Miss might make Chun Xi a first-class maid Downgraded to second-class maid.The first-class maidservants serve the master personally, serve tea, deliver water, make the bed and fold the quilt. As long as the lady is in a good mood, they live a very relaxed and comfortable life; the second- and third-class maids need to do cleaning and washing, and their hands will become rough.

Chunxi shook her head, and went to read a book in the room on the west side of the main room, with Xueling standing beside her.Seeing Chunxi and Chunli coming in, Xueling quickly said in a low voice, "Sister Chunli, sister Chunxi."

Liu Yuzhi looked up at Chunxi carefully, and asked, "What did the doctor say? This ointment smells so bad." The blood on Chunxi's face was wiped off, and a thick layer of black ointment was applied to the wound on his cheek.

Chunxi was blessed, and as soon as she was about to speak, Chunli rushed to say: "Miss, the doctor told her not to talk too much, so that the muscles and skin on her face would heal as soon as possible. Miss, the doctor said that Chunxi's wound was too long and deep, although it can heal , but there are bound to be scars."

"Disfigured?" Liu Yuzhi asked in surprise, not knowing whether she should be gloating, or be happy that her husband's wishful thinking was broken.

Chunxi bowed her head and remained silent.

Liu Yuzhi thought for a while, and said, "The smell of this plaster is too unpleasant, so go down and rest if you have nothing to do. Come back in the evening to serve me and my uncle for dinner."

Chun Xi immediately blessed herself and withdrew.She understands what Miss means, Miss wants to show Uncle her face now, to see if Uncle still has interest in her.She also planned this way, and only hoped that during dinner, my uncle would see her disfigured face and stop his greed for her from now on.
