On the right side of Li Fengjiao's fair face, there was a ferocious scar and thick blood scab, leaving a fatal flaw on this beautiful face.
When Mingyi asked, Li Fengjiao gently touched her cheek with her fingers. When her fingertips touched the uneven surface of the scar, she trembled slightly, but her face remained calm, "I did it myself. I smashed it into pieces." The fragments of the porcelain bowl, if not for this, even if I jumped into the river, I would not be able to escape easily... That person wanted me, didn't it just because of my face? Sure enough... without this face, there would be no one Don’t waste your time on me anymore.”
When Li Fengjiao said this, she even smiled slightly.
Mingyi felt a dull pain in her heart. She understood very well how much Li Fengjiao, who had not experienced any suffering during her teenage years, valued her would have expected that because of her appearance, Li Fengjiao would avoid the tragedy of marrying Chu Yanqing in this life, but after such a disaster, the perseverance and determination in her bones would awaken regarded that too beautiful face as a source of trouble, but did Li Fengjiao really not care about it?Even she feels distressed when she looks at it, let alone herself?
"You can do it." After a long time, Mingyi said softly in a hoarse voice.
Li Fengjiao smiled slightly without saying anything. Mingyi looked at her smile and saw that it was indeed different from before. "That person just now..." After a moment of pause, Mingyi finally asked.
The smile on Li Fengjiao's face faded slightly, and her eyes changed slightly, but only for a moment, she smiled again and said, "I jumped into the river, thinking I wouldn't survive, but he saved me. I'm just a gangster, I Hire him and ask him to take me back to Beijing..." At this point, Li Fengjiao paused and her expression turned annoyed, "Yes, I haven't given him the reward I promised yet."
"Does he know who you are?" Mingyi asked.
"I didn't say it, but I heard a lot of rumors when I arrived in the suburbs of Wangjing. Probably...he must have guessed it, right?" Li Fengjiao said in an uncertain tone.
"Has he been polite to you all the way?" Mingyi asked again, staring at Li Fengjiao's face.
Li Fengjiao's expression froze, and a hint of blush appeared on her face, "Of course you are always polite, where did you think you were?" Then she thought of something, the blush on her face faded, and her expression also faded, "My His face is like this, and he’s not blind, so how could he have other thoughts?”
Mingyi sighed and thought to herself, this girl is still too simple. Isn't it just about looks between men and women?That’s all, it’s okay if you don’t held her hand tightly, "In any case, it's good that you can come back safely. As for your benefactor, there is no need to worry about it. If he knows your identity, he will come to ask for reward."
"What if he doesn't come?" Li Fengjiao blinked and looked at Mingyi, unable to hide the nervousness in her eyes.
Mingyi's eyes darkened, and the corners of her lips slowly pursed, "Then he is really a chivalrous man. It's just a rough road, so you don't have to take it to heart. No matter if he appears or not, you will get along with this benefactor. Don’t mention it again for a few days.”
"Oh." Li Fengjiao looked at Mingyi, who had a serious look on her face, and responded in a low voice, her expression visibly sad.
Mingyi sighed and patted the back of her hand, "Gillian, I'm so happy that you can come back safely. Just a little bit..." She stared at Li Fengjiao's eyes and took a deep breath, "Ah Jiao. Jiao, you have to be clear that your disappearance was not concealed, and when you return to Wangjing, it will definitely not be the same as before, and your face... you have to be prepared."
Li Fengjiao was not stupid and naturally understood the meaning of Mingyi's words, but she raised the corners of her lips and smiled, "People's words are scary, I know. I have understood it since I scratched the broken piece of porcelain. I If you’re not even afraid of death, what else are you afraid of?”
Her eyes were burning and full of unyielding light.
This girl is her, but she is no longer has never realized more clearly than at this moment that they are two completely different people and will definitely go down completely different paths. "Don't worry, I'm here! I will always be with you." Mingyi smiled at Li Fengjiao.
"Okay." Li Fengjiao smiled back at her. As she looked around, her natural beauty was still there, and even the scar seemed less dazzling.
After sending Li Fengjiao back to the eldest princess's residence and notifying Duke Anguo's residence, Mingyi left.
"Princess, why don't you stay for a while? It's thanks to the princess that we can find Princess Changning this time. Moreover, I can see that Princess Changning is reluctant to leave you." Fanshuang frowned, feeling unjust for Mingyi.
Mingyi gave her a funny look and said, "No one asked me to leave. I wanted to leave on my own. After Ajiao went through this crisis, Her Royal Highness the Princess and Aqiang had been worried for so many days, and finally saw that she came back safely. Let them talk about themselves for a while!"
"The princess is considerate. But it's good. These days, the princess can't eat well, can't sleep well, and is starving and thin. Now that the princess of Changning is back safely, the princess can finally feel at ease. The lost meat must be raised back." Fan Shuang clenched his fists, his eyes full of determination.
"I eat a lot." Mingyi twitched the corner of her mouth.
"Why so many? The princess has only eaten two steamed buns in the past two days. In the past, a meal of five was not enough." Fan Shuang said in a matter-of-fact tone.
Mingyi "..."
"What do you want to eat today, princess? I will go to the kitchen to tell them when I return home soon." Fanshuang was very interested.
"Let's not go back home for now. Let's go to Deji Hall first."
Li Fengjiao is Mingyi expected, rumors suddenly spread in Wangjing City. Although he did not dare to say it in front of Emperor Chongning, he said it in private. It was so unpleasant that even if it touched his ears, he felt dirty.
Mingyi was worried that Li Fengjiao wouldn't be able to bear it anymore, so when she rushed to the eldest princess's house, she saw her playing chess with a peaceful face.
With Li Fengjiao's background, she has been taught by famous teachers since she was a child. Naturally, she has dabbled in music, chess, calligraphy and painting, but she has never been able to bear her temper. She only learned a superficial knowledge of these things to fool people. Those things that Mingyi learned were all learned later in the I learned it just to pass the time when I was bored for a long time in the , when she saw Li Fengjiao sitting by the window, bathing in the autumn sunshine, her eyes and eyebrows calmly playing chess, Mingyi couldn't help but feel in a trance and saw herself in the past , that's not that time, her eyes were already a pool of stagnant water. How could she have the peace now? "Mingyi?" Li Fengjiao saw her standing by the door, smiled and waved to her, "What are you doing there? Come here quickly!"
"I know, you must be worried that I won't be able to bear the rumors outside, so you rushed here in a hurry. But don't worry, I am stronger than you, no, I am stronger than I think. No matter what they say, those words can't hurt me at all. It doesn't hurt or itch, so just let them say it!" Li Fengjiao said, her eyes still fixed on the chess board, "I feel like I have two emotions these days. To share the fun on the chessboard, it would be a bit boring just to play against myself. Yesterday A-Qian came, but she was busy getting married and saw that I had nothing to do, but she played a game with me and was still absent-minded. So he left in a hurry. You happened to be here today, and you came to talk with me for a few games. Come on, come on!" As he said that, he had already picked up the chess pieces on the chessboard. Then he remembered something and suddenly looked up. Xiang Mingyi asked belatedly, "You know how to play chess, right?"
