Chapter 22: Eye Diseases

  "Are you Sheng Siyan?" Zheng Suxin's face immediately showed a surprised and delighted expression, she turned around and walked over, standing in front of Sheng Siyan, slowly squatting down, her hands grasping her shoulders, gently asking: "You're the little girl who came first in the exam?"

  Zheng Suxin's attitude changed too quickly, Sheng Siyan felt unaccustomed to it. She opened her small mouth in surprise and stared blankly at Zheng Suxin's lovely face that had suddenly enlarged before her.

  "Have we met before? You look so familiar..." Zheng Su Xian carefully examined Sheng Si Yan's small face, and gently stroked her cheek.

  His fingers were icy and slippery, like a snake sliding across Rong Siyan's face, making her shiver without feeling cold, even the hairs on the back of her neck stood up.

  Sheng Siyan turned her head away, avoiding Zheng Suhui's finger, and frowned: "No, I haven't seen it."

  Wu Chanjuan was surrounded by several maidservants, dressing the wound on her forehead. She felt dizzy and painful, but saw her mother smiling and talking to that nasty little girl, suddenly stomped her foot in anger and shouted: "Mother!"

  Zheng Suxin turned around and glanced at Wu Cujuan, intending to say a few words to her. However, seeing the wound on her forehead and the distress on her face, she softened in her heart. She stood up, patted Sheng Siyan's head, and said gently, "You come with me, I have something to ask you." With that, she turned around and walked towards Wu Cujuan, took her hand, and they left together.

  Sheng Siyan didn't want to go with her at all, but she was the big boss. The big boss had spoken, how could she not go?

  Sheng Siyan followed behind the Wu family with a dejected expression, entering a room in Rong Yu's girls' school that was specially used to receive guests.

  Zheng Suxin carefully examined Wu Yujuan's forehead wound.

  That wound is not shallow, and a pit can be seen there. Even if the wound heals, it will definitely leave a scar.

  The maids and servants of the Wu family were extremely grieved and heartbroken for their young mistress, and they glared at Sheng Siyan with anger.

  Zheng Suxin saw this and smiled as she advised them: "It's nothing. She's just a child, doesn't understand things, don't blame her."

  Sheng Siyan raised her eyes and saw the wound on Wu Chanjuan's forehead, and her heart also skipped a beat. She had been learning medicine with Wang Shi for more than half a year, and she could see that Wu Chanjuan's forehead was likely to leave a "pit". --- A broken appearance, for girls in this world, is a great misfortune.

  Sheng Siyan felt a little guilty and muttered: "Sorry..."

  Wu Chanjuan angrily said: "Is saying sorry useful? Come here, let me smash a hole in your head, and then say sorry to you, are you willing or not?"

  Sheng Siyan pursed her lips, thinking to herself that Mingming had brought this upon himself. She couldn't shake off the feeling of guilt, but she wasn't going to let him take advantage of her again. It was clear that for people like him who took every inch given, saying "sorry" was a luxury they couldn't afford. From then on, she kept her mouth tightly shut and refused to speak another word.

  Zheng Suxin smiled and said, "Alright, stop arguing. It's just a small wound, it's nothing." As she spoke, she gently stroked Wu Cujuan's forehead hair, "Mother will treat you well, I guarantee there won't be any scars."

  "Really?!" Wu Chanjuan's face suddenly lit up. She was most afraid of leaving scars. But since her mother said that not a single scar would be left, then it was definitely true, she trusted her mother's words the most!

  Sheng Siyan was shocked. She could see that the wound on Wu Yan's forehead should have reached the dermal layer. A wound of this level would definitely leave a scar. Could Zheng Suhui's medical skills really be so remarkable that she could cure even such an injury without leaving any scars?

  But then I thought of my mother Wang, who wasn't just using herbal medicine and didn't need surgery to cure her congenitally blind eyes?

  Her thoughts calmed down. This world was different from the one she used to live in, and she had long gotten used to it.

  Even Lian Qiao's famous novel appeared here, what else could surprise her?

  "When did my daughter ever deceive you?" Zheng Suhui smiled and patted her little shoulder, turning to look at Sheng Siyan again, sizing her up from head to toe for the first time, feeling a very familiar feeling, but really couldn't think of where she had seen her before.

  Sheng Siyan made a sly face in her heart, thinking to herself: Zheng Dainai, your memory isn't as good as your sister's. Didn't we meet at the entrance of Shen Nong Fu last December? I was blind back then and couldn't see your appearance, so it's understandable that I don't remember you. But you're not blind, how come you can't remember my appearance?

  Of course, she was just muttering to herself in her heart. She also knew that she was a small village girl, and it would be ridiculous for someone with Zheng's high status to remember her appearance from just one glance back then...

  Wu Chanjuan knew she wouldn't break up with him, so her mood improved a bit, and she wasn't as resistant to Sheng Siyan anymore. However, she still insisted on saying to Sheng Siyan: "You were just dozing off earlier, don't deny it."

  Sheng Siyan: "Let's just forget about that, shall we? Miss Wu, let's not mention it again, okay?"

  The female mountain master who followed behind hurriedly untied her belt and said: "Auntie Zheng, you are a magnanimous person, please forgive her. This little girl has just started school and hasn't learned the rules yet. Besides, she's also a pitiful person, born blind, and was only cured by her mother at the beginning of this year. Otherwise, she wouldn't be able to attend school."

  Zheng Suxin's face changed again upon hearing this. She pulled Sheng Siyan over, looking at him in astonishment and examining him carefully once more.

  This time, she stared steadily into Sheng Siyan's eyes.

  Those were a pair of exquisitely shaped eyes, and it was impossible to tell that they had been blind before. Sheng Siyan was still a little kid, his facial features hadn't fully developed yet, but he looked chubby everywhere, appearing especially sweet and adorable.

  "Born blind?" Zheng Suheng murmured, "Isn't that something brought from the womb?... An eye disease brought from the womb is not easy to cure..."

  "Yes, it's not easy. Your elder sister didn't also bring eye disease from the womb? Speaking of which, you two really have a fate. The female teacher, Mrs. Shān, desperately helped Shèng Sīyán to get out of trouble and pulled her closer. She was a good person, treating all students in the school equally regardless of their background or family status. And she took even better care of Shèng Sīyán, who came from a poor household."

  Zheng Suxin smiled and said, "But it was the prescription of the Sheng family that cured Juanni's eye disease." Then she asked Sheng Siyan, "Was your mother the one who cured your eye disease? What prescription did she use?"

  Sheng Siyan was tongue-tied and didn't know what to say. Aren't the prescriptions of each family all confidential? How can you ask about someone else's secret formula so casually?

  Zheng Suxin seemed to have not thought of this question at all. She furrowed her brow, looked again at Sheng Siyan's eyes, and shook her head lightly: "There is no prescription from the Sheng family, the eye disease brought from the womb cannot be cured."

  "But my mother did cure my eye disease." Sheng Siyan subconsciously retorted.

  Zheng Suxin smiled and said: "That means your eye disease is not congenital, it should be contracted after birth."

  I really don't want to remind you every day. It's best if you all can remember to vote every day yourselves. Mua mua da~~~
