Chapter 11

“Alright, alright, alright. I’ll go immediately.” Xu Wanrong walked out impatiently. Her footsteps were so fast that her dress fluttered.

Chu Qingzhi stretched and sat on the chair. She had not done this for a long time and was a little tired.

Xu Wanrong quickly returned. “Sister, I’m done showering.”

Chu Qingzhi stood up and let Xu Wanrong sit on the chair. “Don’t move. Leave the rest to me.”

Xu Wanrong nodded and said in embarrassment, “Sister, I want to look in the mirror.”

Chu Qingzhi nodded. “Sure.”

The servant girl immediately placed the mirror on the desk and retreated to the side. She waited quietly for the instruction and watched the miracle unfold.

Chu Qingzhi took the comb and combed all the hair on Xu Wanrong’s forehead back, revealing the scar. Then, she applied the medicine on the scar.

“The medicine is very gentle. It won’t hurt, but you’ll feel some heat. This is normal. Don’t be afraid.”

Xu Wanrong looked at herself in the mirror with extreme hope in her eyes. “Sister, I understand.”

Yang Yumiao walked to the door of the small study and peeped in. When she saw the scar on her daughter’s face, tears welled up in her eyes.

Ever since her daughter’s face was disfigured, she had never smiled again. Yang Yumiao hoped that Chu Qingzhi could cure her daughter’s face and let her regain her youthfulness and liveliness.

After Chu Qingzhi finished applying the medicine for Xu Wanrong, she placed the bowl on the table. “You need to apply the medicine for ten days, but on the 6th day, the scar will recede.”

Xu Wanrong was in disbelief. “That quick?”

Chu Qingzhi said with confidence, “You’ll see the effect later.”

Xu Wanrong’s eyes lit up. “Ok.”

Chu Qingzhi waved at Xiao Fang. Xiao Fang immediately walked up to Chu Qingzhi. “Miss, what can I do for you?”

Chu Qingzhi asked, “Did you see the process of me applying medicine for your Miss just now?”

Xiao Fang quickly nodded. “I did.”

Chu Qingzhi instructed, “For the next few days, apply medicine for your Miss like this every morning and night, understand?”

Xiao Fang nodded. “Got it.”

Xu Wanrong kept looking at the mirror. She really hoped that the scar on her face would disappear immediately. She wanted to wake up from this nightmare. “Xiao Fang, go and bring the chilled watermelon to Miss Chu.”

“Yes, Miss.”

Xiao Fang quickly brought over a plate of red watermelon and placed it in front of Chu Qingzhi. “Miss, please.”

“Thank you.” Chu Qingzhi ate a piece. “Wanrong, aren’t you eating?”

Xu Wanrong shook her head. “I’m not eating. This is prepared for you. The weather is hot. Eat more.”

Chu Qingzhi did not decline.

An hour later, Xu Wanrong looked at her face in the mirror several times. “Sister, I think the scar has faded a little.”

Chu Qingzhi said affirmatively, “You are right. It’s fading.”

Xu Wanrong quickly asked the servant girl to call her mother over.

The servant girl ran out.

Yang Yumiao quickly rushed to the small study.

“Mother, is my face better now?”

Yang Yumiao looked at Xu Wanrong’s face carefully. After a while, she said excitedly, “What a miracle! Wanrong, your face has healed a lot.”

Chu Qingzhi smiled and said, “Continue to use the medicine. You’ll be back to normal in five to six days.”

Yang Yumiao was stunned for a moment before saying in surprise, “Five to six days? Are you sure?”

Chu Qingzhi said confidently, “Of course I’m sure. Anyway, it’ll only take five to six days. You’ll know when the time comes.”

Yang Yumiao held Xu Wanrong’s hand and said excitedly, “Yes, yes, yes. We’ll know in five or six days…”

Chu Qingzhi said, “I’m going back. If you need anything, you can send someone to Chu Village to look for me. My father is Chu Rong, and my grandfather is Chu Tai.”

Xu Wanrong stood up. “Sister, I’ll send you out.”

Chu Qingzhi nodded and walked out.

When they reached the door, Xu Wanrong took a basket from Xiao Fang. The basket was covered with a cloth, so the contents were hidden. She handed it to Chu Qingzhi. “Sister, this is my gift to you. Don’t reject it.”

Chu Qingzhi smiled. “Okay.”

Xu Wanrong stood at the door and watched Chu Qingzhi leave.

…

Back at home, Chu Qingzhi bumped into her family members who were about to go out to water the fields. Chu Qingzhi stopped them. “Wait.”

She handed the basket to Madam Li. “Everyone, eat the watermelon before going.”

In the old days, watermelon was a precious fruit that only rich families could eat. She did not expect Xu Wanrong to give her a whole one. It weighed about 15 to 16 catties.

“Watermelon?”

Everyone looked like they couldn’t believe their ears.

Chu Qingzhi removed the cloth and a big green watermelon appeared in front of everyone. “It’s a watermelon. It’s chilled. Everyone, come and eat it now.”

Looking at the big watermelon, the Chu family was petrified on the spot.

This was a watermelon?! The legendary watermelon?!! Were they dreaming!!!?
