The Double-Chapter 468 - 149 Appearance_3

Hai Tang sobbed, "I just feel too distressed, seeing the old master suffer like this, it breaks my heart. If the miss and the young master were still here, seeing such a scene, I can’t imagine how much pain they would feel. Now that both the miss and the young master are gone, I don’t even know whether it’s a blessing in disguise." She mocked herself with a laugh, "Why is it that good people never get their just rewards?"

"Because the justice of this world is, for the time being, the justice of the wicked," said Jiang Li in a soothing voice that seemed to heal all wounds within one’s heart. She continued calmly, "It’s okay, look, at least County Magistrate Xue is still alive. At first, County Magistrate Xue almost lost his life to murderers, but as long as he’s alive, there’s hope, and everything will get better. You must believe that, and I think, your miss and young master would have thought the same."

Hai Tang nodded her head.

Seeing that their conversation was about to end, Situ Jiuyue did not delay any further. She immediately began to apply acupuncture to Xue Huaiyuan, who had grown accustomed to this treatment every few days. He was no longer as resistant as he was at the beginning and obediently let Situ Jiuyue manipulate the needles.

As Situ Jiuyue applied the needles, she spoke with Jiang Li, who asked, "Miss Jiuyue, is County Magistrate Xue doing a bit better compared to the past?"

"Indeed," replied Situ Jiuyue, "he has started to consciously do things he was accustomed to, like reading books. Although he’s not truly reading just yet, his actions have already shown that his memories are gradually being awakened. It’s a long process, but as long as this trend continues, step by step he will remember more, until he recalls who he is, and his lost memories and senses can be retrieved."

Jiang Li and Hai Tang were overjoyed.

As long as there was hope for Xue Huaiyuan to recover, there would come a day when Jiang Li would recognize him. However... casting a glance at Hai Tang, Jiang Li pondered for a moment and asked, "Miss Jiuyue, about the scars on Hai Tang’s face, is there any way to treat them?"

"I’ve asked her, and she said it’s not necessary," said Situ Jiuyue.

Jiang Li wondered, "Why is it not necessary?"

Hai Tang’s expression turned somber as she said, "Miss Jiang the Second need not waste her concern on me. With such severe scars on my face, it’s impossible for them to heal completely. At most, they can be lightened a bit. I’d rather not harbor any hopes than to be disappointed after gaining hope. Moreover," she said with a faint smile, "my only wish now is for County Magistrate Xue to get better and to take revenge for my miss. As for my appearance, it serves no other purpose to me."

Although Hai Tang spoke lightly, Jiang Li still heard a note of melancholy in her voice. Considering Hai Tang’s age, it was the perfect time for marriage and starting a family. Even though true affection is not about appearances, such a disfigurement would make everything Hai Tang did in the future much more difficult, and it would bring her unnecessary pain.

"Miss Jiuyue is a divine healer," said Jiang Li, "if you have never tried, why give up? When County Magistrate Xue was first rescued, everyone thought he wouldn’t live for much longer, but look at him now, he’s slowly getting better. Compared to County Magistrate Xue, your chances of healing the scars on your face are much greater."

Hai Tang looked at Jiang Li dazedly. Jiang Li’s voice was gentle and resolute, making people involuntarily want to believe in her, to believe that they could get better.

"I’m not a divine healer. I’ve said before, I’m not good at saving lives, my expertise is in making poisons," Situ Jiuyue finished applying the last needle and said without looking up, "However, there is indeed a way for her facial wounds. I have a method that can restore her to her original appearance."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Li immediately asked, "Is that true?"

Hai Tang’s eyes also brightened up, for which girl in the world doesn’t love beauty? Especially for one who was once beautiful and then became disfigured, the desire to restore one’s original appearance is overwhelming.

"I never tell lies," Situ Jiuyue looked at Hai Tang, her face suddenly breaking into a smile. Although she was beautiful, her demeanor was always slightly cold. When she did smile, there was a hint of slyness, as if harboring some naughty thoughts. She said, "It’s just that my method is not like that of an ordinary doctor."

Jiang Li asked, "What method is it?"

"I specialize in making poisons. The scars on her face can actually be treated with poison. Molan has a kind of poisonous spider. When it bites someone, the saliva it secretes can heal wounds and restore the skin to its original condition. Such poisonous spiders are very rare, hardly seen once in ten years, but as it happens, I’ve raised one." freewebnøvel.coɱ
