532 Beating Xiao Qirui Up (2)

Although she moved quickly, Shen Yijia could still see her face clearly.

There were two hideous scars crossed on the left side of her face. They were even a little swollen and festering.

Shen Yijia’s heart skipped a beat.

How could that be?

Although she had never seen Feng Manman’s original face, she knew that the wound would not be in this state after a few months.

Coupled with the fact that it had been so long since she gave Xiao Ruoshui the scar removal ointment, even if it had not completely removed those scars, it should be able to fade a lot.

Even if the scar removal ointment didn’t work, it would at most make the scars on her face remain.

Why did it look more serious?

“Your face…” Shen Yijia had a bad feeling.

“Huh?” Feng Manman covered her face in a panic. Realizing that she had already put on a veil, she lowered her eyes. “I must have frightened Madam. I’m sorry.”

Shen Yijia tilted her head and was about to ask again when there was a commotion outside the door.

She turned around and saw the Xiao family’s carriage. Beside the carriage was a horse.

Shen Yijia had seen the man on the horse before. He was Xiao Ruoshui’s elder brother, Xiao Qirui.

After the emperor’s birthday, Xiao Qirui was asked by the Eldest Prince to go to the Ministry of Works to help, so General Xiao could not continue to lock him up.

But why were these two people together?

Xiao Qirui glanced at Shen Yijia coldly and got off the horse trail to walk to Feng Manman’s side. “Go upstairs first. I’ll definitely give you an explanation for this.”

Feng Manman’s eyes instantly turned red, but she held back her tears and persuaded gently, “I’m fine. Brother Xiao, don’t blame Miss Xiao.”

“It’s my fault. Not to mention that you’re engaged, even if you’re not, we should avoid arousing suspicion.”

“With my background, I still have to trouble you time and time again. It’s normal for Miss Xiao to misunderstand.”

Shen Yijia was confused. She blinked and looked at Xiao Ruoshui, who had gotten out of the carriage with a dark expression.

What was going on here?

Xiao Ruoshui glared at Feng Manman angrily and pulled Shen Yijia into the carriage.

Shen Yijia asked, “Aren’t you going to take your brother with you?”

Wasn’t keeping him here giving Feng Manman a chance?

Xiao Ruoshui was incredibly angry. She gritted her teeth and said, “Ignore him. He’ll regret it one day!”

Shen Yijia frowned. If it was just Xiao Qirui, she naturally wouldn’t care, but the innocent Yuan Yuwan was also implicated.

“What happened? Why are you with your brother? Also, I saw Feng Manman’s face just now.”

Before she could finish asking, Xiao Ruoshui took out something. Shen Yijia recognized it at a glance as the scar removal ointment she had taken from her.

She took it and opened it. It was not much different from before. It had probably only been used once or twice.

Xiao Ruoshui said angrily, “Someone tampered with it.”

She had just remembered that Feng Manman had been using medicine for a while, so she wanted to see how her face was recovering. Unexpectedly, she b.u.mped into Xiao Qirui.

As soon as Xiao Qirui saw her, he reprimanded her indiscriminately.

“I thought you were just spoiled by your parents. I didn’t expect you to do such a vicious thing.” These were Xiao Qirui’s words.

Xiao Ruoshui was stunned by the scolding.

Xiao Qirui was five years older than her. He usually spent most of his time in the military camp, and there was a saying that men and women in big families sat at different tables when they were seven years old.

The siblings might not be close, but they were still biological siblings. Xiao Qirui had always treated her well, and Xiao Ruoshui also respected her big brother.

This was the first time Xiao Qirui had said such harsh words to her.

Xiao Ruoshui was furious, but she still patiently tried to figure out the whole story.

Then, she found out that not only did Feng Manman’s face not recover from the scar removal ointment she had given her, but it also became worse.

The scar removal ointment was given to her by Xiao Ruoshui, so she naturally became the first suspect.

Xiao Qirui’s thoughts were very simple. There was no woman who didn’t cherish her appearance. It couldn’t be Feng Manman who did it herself.

Moreover, he knew Xiao Ruoshui well. She had been used to being willful since she was young. When she didn’t like someone, she dared to do anything.

Giving Xiao Ruoqian laxatives and catching c.o.c.kroaches to scare her was child’s play.

Additionally, he took into account what Xiao Ruoshui had said about Feng Manman.

It was possible to use the scar removal ointment with poison to warn Feng Manman not to look for him again.

If not for his interrogation after seeing the transfer of the shop today, he would not have known that his savior had almost been forced to a dead end by his biological sister.

Xiao Ruoshui definitely believed Shen Yijia. Her first reaction was that Feng Manman was lying and pulled off her veil on the spot.
