Chapter 755: Chapter 749 Teach Her a Lesson

Jie Family’s second young master stretched out his hand, where the little finger, though the small iron splint had long been removed, still bore a shocking wound. He pointed to that finger with a look of grief and fury in his eyes.

"I’ve never wronged you, yet you were so ruthless, even wanting to kill me. You haven’t forgotten how you wielded that knife at me, have you? This finger is a token of your ’benevolence’."

Du Wanqing stared blankly at the wound, her lips parted and dry, unable to utter a single word for a long while.

"Your current state is also your own doing, you can blame nobody else."

Du Wanqing reached out and touched her face, which resembled the rough skin of a toad.

She hadn’t set the fire intending suicide but rather sought an escape, madly longing to get out, so she ignited the firewood storeroom.

Having never dealt with fire before, Du Wanqing never expected it to be so terrifying. Although the window was burned open, her face was disfigured beyond recognition.

"I... I didn’t mean to do it."

She held her face in her hands, her expression one of agony.

The second young master of the Jie Family no longer looked at her, but turned and pulled open the door.

In the hall, a maid was anxiously speaking to Du Xintong, who had come down from upstairs. The steps of the Jie Family’s second young master were somewhat vacuous, but he still mustered the courage to take a few steps forward and said to the young Miss Du, "Xintong, she’s in that room," pointing to the room he had just come from.

Miss Du said nothing, stepping past the second young master of the Jie Family and striding directly to the parlor.

Cuiya, following close behind Miss Du, gave the second young master of the Jie Family a meaningful glance and sneered, "The young master really has unique tastes, to still feel attached to someone in such a state. You’ve been waiting around Manxiu Building for so long, I assume it’s for Concubine Du, isn’t it? Why don’t you take her home with you? That way, my young mistress won’t have to worry about taking care of her."

The second young master of the Jie Family reeled. He never would have thought that the timid maid who used to follow Miss Du could one day speak to him with such sharp words?

Cuiya snorted coldly, gave a disdainful glance at the somewhat pale-faced second young master of the Jie Family, and then followed her own young mistress.

Upon Miss Du’s arrival, Du Wanqing was taken back to the inner courtyard. Along the way, Du Wanqing made a scene, drawing sidelong glances from many customers who had come to buy clothes.

Miss Du had kept the fact that Du Wanqing was hiding in the backyard with burns a secret from outsiders. Curious customers asked, "Who is that lady, and how... severely injured is she?"

Her face was frightening, and even though it was only exposed for an instant, those who saw it were deeply startled.

A servant girl explained, "She is a relative of our Miss Du, who was burned in a fire. With no one to care for her, our Miss Du took her in. She is not yet able to accept her disfigurement and has lost her mind."

The crowd murmured sympathetically, "That’s truly pitiful, a lady burned like that, it’s no wonder she has gone mad."

"Indeed, Miss Du is truly kind-hearted."

The second young master of the Jie Family stumbled a few steps, lips tightly pursed, and followed into the inner courtyard.

From within a room, Miss Du’s stern voice could be heard admonishing, "What delusions do you still harbor at this point? Haven’t I told you before, the Jie Family has disowned you, and you are no longer a wife of the Jie Family. With your present ghastly appearance, do you even have the shame to return to the Jie Family? You may be willing to lose face, but the Du Family cannot afford to lose face. Since you managed to leave the courtyard on your own, then pack your things. Tomorrow, you will go with me to our parents’ graves to seek forgiveness. You unfilial daughter, how many years has it been since you last offered even a stick of incense to our parents?"
