Chapter 14: Disfiguring Your Face!
Unexpectedly, every single one of Yi Ping's plans were destroyed by Zi You . Initially, Yi Ping thought that feeding the Wang You Lian to Zi You would give her the opportunity to showcase her sincerity to Zi You while she was sick . Yi Ping thought Zi You would especially be grateful to her after realizing how she begged for the holy water . Yi Ping didn't expect that even though Zi You seemed to have gotten closer to her on the surface, everything Zi You did smothered her heart .
Because Yi Ping was unable to take the trip with Ying Rui, she discontentedly thought about how shameless Ying Rui was . She started to wonder how many more women he would bring back in three years time when he returns .
As Zi You saw Yi Ping clenching her fist, she gave an even sweeter smile saying gently, "Mother, there's no need to worry about father . In the past, whenever he went on a trip, the Yi Niangs has always waited upon him . He'd be well taken care of . Sometimes father would be gifted women by his friends . Fifth and Sixth Yi Niangs were gifted to father by his friends . Maybe this time around when father returns, there will be Seventh and Eighth Yi Niangs . "
As Zi You's arms were coiled around Yi Ping, Zi You clearly felt Yi Ping stiffen at her words . Immediately, Zi You felt a wave of pleasure .
Hmmpphh! I'll anger you to death, Bitch! There's no way I'll let you have Ying Rui to yourself . I'll find more Yi Niangs to compete with you . Let's see how much spare time you have to scheme against me now .
Zi You slept with Yi Ping for the next two nights after Ying Rui left . On the third night, Zi You had a nightmare . She kept crying out and shouting as if she was in pain .
Yi Ping only stared coldly at Zi You . She had no intentions of waking Zi You up . It was only when a maid servant rushed in did Yi Ping decide to put on a concerned mother act . She donned a worried expression as she nudged Zi You while shouting, "You'er, what's wrong? Quickly wake up, don't scare mother!"
Out of nowhere, Zi You's hands reached for Yi Ping's face .
Females back in the day loved keeping their nails long . Besides, Zi You had no way of controlling her strength in her sleep . All Yi Ping felt was a burning sensation on her face . In alarm, Yi Ping hopped quickly off the bed and ran to a mirror . The mirror reflected two long bloody scratches across Yi Ping's face . Blood was starting to ooze out of her wound .
"Ahhh! My face!" Yi Ping screamed . Unable to repress her hate and anger, she walked to Zi You's beside and raised her palm to slap Zi You's face .
Sadly, before Yi Ping's palm connected with its intended target, Zi You woke up . Turning around, Zi You asked in confusion, "Mother, what's wrong? Why is your hand raised?"
Not waiting for a reply, Zi You sighed, "Ugh! Daughter had a bad dream just now . In the dream, there was a woman trying to harm daughter . Daughter wanted to scratch her . But before I managed to, I woke up . "
Feeling guilty, Yi Ping could only keep her palm raised and readjust her intent . After looking at her hand for a while, Yi Ping awkwardly moved her palm towards Zi You's back and patted her lightly . Clenching her jaw Yi Ping forced herself to say, "Yes, you didn't manage to scratch her . However, you scratched my face…Who knows if it will leave a scar . "
"Ahh!" Zi You shouted acting surprised . She pretended as if it was the first time she saw the injury on Yi Ping's face . 'Worried' and 'apologetic' tears welled in Zi You's eyes . "I'm sorry! I'm so sorry! Daughter did not do it intentionally . Mother please don't blame me, alright? It's true, I was only trying to claw the woman that tried to harm me . I had no idea why my attack landed on mother instead . Zi You deserves to die . "
After apologizing, Zi You bent over and started crying .
When Yi Ping saw this, she cursed in her heart . However, she forced herself to fake a smile and comfort Zi You . Yi Ping wanted to howl like a wolf to release her pent-up anger . She felt wronged, but had to hold herself back .
The next morning, Zi You informed Old General Mu of the incident while crying .
Instead of asking Yi Ping if she was alright, he comforted Zi You, "My darling granddaughter, stop crying . You didn't do it on purpose . Your mother will not blame you . Grandfather has a very effective scar cream . You can get it from me later and pass it to your mother . This is nothing to get upset about . Alright, from today onwards, there's no need to stay with your mother . Come over to Grandfather's place to accompany me instead . "
