Chapter 3 — My Husband Criticized Me For Destroying Dung, I Changed My Face To Another Face
The day Tong Minh Chau arrived, she brought with her a box of witch hazel cakes. As soon as she entered the door, she covered her nose with her hand.
“In my sister's room, the smell of medicine is really strong.”
I sat on the small bed, not getting up.
“If you don't like it, you can go out.”
She burst into laughter and put down the cake box.
"I'm just heartbroken for you. I heard that your face is a little more damaged. My husband has to find so many famous doctors for you. It's really too difficult."
I raised my head to look at her.
“Yes, he worked very hard.”
She came here today, not because she wanted to visit me. But I want to see with my own eyes how rotten my face has become. I can't even let her have her way. Tong Minh Chau sat down opposite me, deliberately revealing the jade bracelet on his wrist. That is the relic my mother left me. My eyes suddenly turned cold. She immediately laughed.
"Are you looking at this? My husband gave it to you, saying it would look beautiful on you."
I don't get angry. I just raised my hand to gently touch that jade bracelet.
“It's truly beautiful.”
The satisfaction on Tong Minh Chau's face became even deeper.
“You won't be angry, will you?”
I slowly smiled.
“Whatever a dead person wears is beautiful.”
Tong Minh Chau's face immediately turned pale.
“What do you mean?”
I gently said:
“I mean, this jade color suits you very well.”
She stared at me for a long time, then suddenly came closer.
“Tong Chieu Ninh, don't think that Luc Hoai Can really considers you his wife.”
Her voice dropped very low.
“Every time he comes out of your room, he has to wash his hands.”
I look at her.
"So you still want to rob?"
The smile on Tong Minh Chau's face stiffened. We continue to say:
"He calls me dirty, but he wants my money. I know he's dirty, but I still want him. Sister, you two are truly a match made in heaven."
She raised her hand and slapped me. Tieu Dao cried out in horror. I don't avoid it. That slap dislodged my veil. Tong Minh Chau saw the rotting scar under the towel and was so scared that he took half a step back. I covered my face and suddenly burst into tears.
“Sister, I know you hate me for being ugly, but I can't hit you like that.”
Just finished speaking. Luc Hoai Can walked in. He saw the red mark on my face and his expression immediately darkened. Tong Minh Chau panicked.
“Brother Hoai Can, it's not like that, it was my sister who cursed you first!”
I raised my head to look at Luc Hoai Can, tears just rolled down.
"Husband, I'm not good. I shouldn't ask my sister why she's wearing the relic that my mother left behind."
Luc Hoai Can looked at the bracelet on Tong Minh Chau's wrist. In that moment, anger appeared in his eyes. Tong Minh Chau cried and ran away. Luc Hoai Can stayed to comfort me.
“Chieu Ninh and Minh Chau are still young and don't understand things.”
“How many months younger is she than me?”
Luc Hoai Can immediately choked up. I asked again:
"She wears my mother's jade bracelet, is it also because she is young?"
He took my hand.
"I accidentally took that bracelet by mistake. Tomorrow I will ask her to return it to you."
I look at him.
“Husband, do you really like her?”
His face suddenly changed.
“She is talking nonsense What is it?
I gently leaned against him.
“I'm just scared. Now that I have become like this, if my husband likes someone else, I won't be able to stop him."
Luc Hoai Can was silent. Men are most afraid of women who don't make a fuss. The more women don't make a fuss, the more guilty they feel. Sure enough, he sighed softly.
"Chieu Ninh, in a few days the palace will hold a banquet to reward flowers. Please come with me."
Banquet to enjoy flowers. Ladies and gentlemen from all over the capital will come. Tong Minh Chau will definitely be present. Luc Hoai Can took me away, not because he wanted me to go out and entertain myself. He wanted to confirm in front of everyone that I was ugly and jealous, and then find an excuse to get rid of me. I gently said:
“But your face…”
“Wearing a veil is fine.”
He stopped for a moment.
"She can't go her whole life without seeing someone else."
I bowed my head down. He breathed a sigh of relief. I also breathed a sigh of relief. The stage has been built. Just waiting for someone to show up. The night before the flower reward banquet, Doctor Liu arrived. He brought a new box of ointment.
“Madam, this is the last medicine. After applying, the wound will scab over tomorrow. Although the shape is a bit more unsightly, it is a sign that things are gradually changing for the better.”
I look at that black ointment box.
“Will it hurt?”
Doctor Liu didn't dare look directly at me.
“It hurts a little.”
I smiled softly.
“I'm bothering you, doctor.”
After he left, I opened the ointment box. Inside is mixed bone rot grass. Once this thing is applied to the wound, within just two hours, the skin will swell and become ulcerated. Tomorrow at the flower reward banquet, if someone pulls down my veil, what will be revealed to everyone will be a devil-like face. Luc Hoai Can is indeed very cruel. He doesn't just want to destroy me. He also wants to make us feel that all of these things are because we deserve to suffer. Tieu Dao clenched her teeth.
“Miss, let me kill him!”
I reached out to hold her.
"Killing people must pay for their lives, it's not worth it."
“So what should we do?”
I gave her the ointment box.
“Bring it to Tong Minh Chau.”
Tieu Dao was stunned.
“Doesn't she really want my face? So give it to her.”
Tong Minh Chau has always loved beauty. I sent someone to spread the word, saying that this ointment that can make skin as white as snow was specially found by Luc Hoai Can for her. As for us. I took out the white jade vase that my mother left behind. When the cool medicine touched the wound on my face, I was in so much pain that my whole body was covered in cold sweat. But when the pain reaches its end, we instead laugh. Over the past two years, the medicine Luc Hoai Can gave me was like a dull blade bit by bit cutting into my skin. And now, this medicine is like a fierce fire burning once again. Behind the sea of fire. Just got a new life.
