Chapter 72
What is she going to do, is she going to die for her reputation?
No, she doesn't want it. Qin Tao has already said that he will come to find her. The glory and wealth are right in front of her. How can she be willing to die?
Li Yueru stood up slowly and stood in front of the bronze mirror. Even if she put on clean clothes, she couldn't hide the bruises on her neck and the slap marks on her face!
She hurriedly turned her face away from herself in the mirror. She would have trouble breathing if she looked at it again.
Li Yueru was a tearful person, and her face was already filled with tears at this time. However, compared with the past, crying in front of Qin Tao always felt pleasing to the eye, but this time she only felt embarrassed.
When the tears finally dried up, Li Yueru carefully arranged her hair, adjusted her expression, went downstairs and knocked on the maid's door.
"Who is it?" the maid asked strangely.
"It's me," Li Yueru said with an indifferent expression: "When I get up later, I will ask the shopkeeper to bring a bucket of water to my room. I want to take a bath."
"Okay, miss." Although Rong'er was dissatisfied, she didn't dare to delay and quickly got up and dressed.
"The water is here, miss." Ronger's voice came from outside the door.
"Come in." Li Yueru said with her back to the door.
After the waiter put the water in, Rong'er tested the water temperature and said respectfully to Li Yueru: "Miss, the water is ready and you can wash."
"Want hot water!" Li Yueru's voice was light.
"Oh, okay." Ronger asked the waiter to add half a bucket of hot water.
"Hot water, the scalding kind!" Li Yueru sounded a little impatient.
After hearing this, Rong'er added two more buckets of hot water. She tested the water temperature again with her hand and shrank back when it was so hot that she looked at Li Yueru: "Miss, it's already very hot."
"Well, you go out."
"Don't you need me to stay and take care of you?" Ronger asked doubtfully. She had to stay by her side before.
"Get out!" Li Yueru yelled like crazy.
Rong'er was shocked. This was the first time she saw the young lady lose control like this. She didn't dare to say any more and ran out in a panic.
Li Yueru stood up slowly, locked the door bolt from the inside, took off the clothes she had just put on and stepped into the barrel.
The water was so hot that she wanted to scream.
She scrubbed her body vigorously, even scratching her skin in several places, but she didn't stop, as if it didn't hurt.
"Yue Ru," Ye Zheng knocked on the door outside: "Why do you take a bath so early in the morning? You have breakfast."
Li Yueru came back to her senses, looked down at herself with scars all over her body, and sneered without responding. She closed her eyes and hypnotized herself in her mind: Li Yueru, you are already clean, forget about tonight.
When Li Yueru came out of the barrel, her whole body was red from the heat, but her eyes became more and more gloomy.
After wearing a high-collared shirt to ensure that the red mark on her neck was blocked, she opened the door suddenly, startling Ye Zheng who was standing at the door: "Why don't you say anything? You make me worry. What time did you come back yesterday?"
Yes?"
"I don't remember either, everyone is asleep anyway." Li Yueru's eyes flashed and she replied calmly.
"Why does your face feel bulging?" Ye Zheng asked suspiciously: "And why did you take a bath so early in the morning?"
Li Yueru looked at Ye Zheng with a strange look on her face, as if her question was incomprehensible: "I accidentally fell and fell on my face when I came back yesterday. I came back so late last night and I was too embarrassed to ask the waiter to boil water for me, so I got sick.
Take a shower early in the morning and have any questions."
Ye Zheng curled his lips and said nothing more, but he always felt that something was not right.
Li Yueru ignored her and went to have breakfast. Ye Zheng had no choice but to follow.
After breakfast, Li Yueru asked Ronger to find a brazier and come back.
"What do you want the brazier for?" Ye Zheng became increasingly uneasy.
"I want to be of my own use, so don't keep asking me if I'm okay!" Li Yueru frowned, looking a little impatient.
"You are my daughter, I don't care about you but who cares about you!" Ye Zheng said angrily.
Li Yueru took a deep breath and closed her eyes in pain: "Mom, just leave me alone."
Ye Zheng became increasingly uneasy and stopped talking.
Not long after Li Yueru returned to the house, Ronger also found the brazier.
"Put the brazier here, and you can go out." Li Yueru looked at the bronze mirror and looked at her eyebrows carefully and casually ordered Ronger.
After putting on makeup, Li Yueru smiled at her beautiful face in the mirror.
"Waiter, what's going on? Is there a fire?" The guests dining downstairs asked in surprise as they looked at the room where black smoke was constantly coming out.
"Ouch," the waiter didn't have time to explain and hurriedly knocked on the door: "Is there anyone inside? Ahem!" He choked and felt very uncomfortable.
Ye Zheng from the room next to her was also attracted and was shocked when she saw that it was her daughter's room.
"Yueru, Yueru!" Ye Zheng slapped the door frantically. She wanted glory and wealth, but her daughter was more important in her heart.
"Kick the door quickly!" Ye Zheng shook the waiter anxiously, and people around him began to gather.
Just then the door opened from the inside. More black smoke came out.
"Cough cough cough~" Li Yueru also choked heavily.
"Yueru, are you okay Yueru!" Ye Zheng held her hand and observed carefully.
"What are you doing?" Li Yueru looked at the crowd surrounding him.
"We didn't do anything, girl, what are you doing!" The waiter couldn't help but say.
Li Yueru was silent for a moment: "I burned something in the house. I'm sorry for causing trouble to you!"
At this moment, the shopkeeper hurried over with a few people carrying water. After asking about the situation, he looked at Li Yueru with an unkind expression: "Little girl, how can we burn things in the house? You are not afraid of burning us.
The house is ordered!"
Li Yueru bit her lip and said nothing. It was her first time to burn something in the room, and she didn't know there would be such a big smoke.
When the shopkeeper saw that she didn't speak, he didn't worry about it. He turned around and saluted everyone with a smile: "I'm sorry for causing panic to everyone. To express my apology, everyone here will receive a 20% discount on the dishes!"
"Okay!" The guests were very satisfied. After all, this not only did not cause any harm to them, but also saved some money.
The crowd around them dispersed. Ye Zheng pulled his disgraced daughter into his room and asked seriously: "What happened? Do you even want to hide it from your mother?"
Li Yueru's eyes turned red and she turned away from her: "If you care about me, don't ask anymore." How could she say this!
"Okay, I won't ask anymore." Ye Zheng covered her mouth to prevent herself from crying. She saw the red marks on her daughter's neck! Now that Qin Tao was lying on the bed and couldn't move, who moved her daughter? She didn't dare
think.
All the misfortunes happened after leaving the Weiwu Hou Mansion!
Ye Zheng began to resent her sister. If she hadn't ruined her daughter's reputation by not caring about her sisters, and kicked them out of the house, how could Yueru sneak into the Ruyang Hou Mansion!
