    At the end of June in the third year of Chengyuan, Jiangling Mansion ushered in the long-awaited heavy rain.

    The sky was clear on the morning of June 29th. At noon, black clouds rolled in and covered the sky. Heavy rain fell like soybeans, and in the blink of an eye the world became chaotic.

    People who had no time to run on the street were drenched, but no one complained but burst into laughter. The rain alleviated the drought, and also washed away people's accumulated fear caused by the Tengu swallowing the sun.

    It rained until the early morning of the first day of July. The rain had cleared and the clouds had dispersed all over the courtyard. Mr. Li Fengchang, who was running in the courtyard, did not feel refreshed and had no intention of enjoying the beautiful scenery after the rain. He was panting from time to time because of his running, and his face looked grim.  whitish.

    "Second Master, please slow down." The entourage around him trotted after him.

    A group of people came to greet him, and several women were startled when they saw Li Fengchang looking like this.

    "Hurry up and help me, master."

    "Sir, please slow down."

    The strong servant women rushed forward and held Li Fengchang's arms from left to right.

    Li Fengchang still rushed forward a few steps and shouted: "Don't stop me, how is Xian'er?"

    The people who arrived surrounded him.

    "Second brother, don't be anxious." A woman in her thirties said, "The eldest lady will be accompanied by her second sister-in-law."

    Li Fengchang did not relieve his anxiety at all. He took a few hard breaths and pushed the servants away.

    "How many people are back?" He quickly ran inward again, "What happened? Is Xian'er injured?"

    The women were busy keeping up, and the crowd hindered Li Fengchang's running speed.

    "Only Fang Er came back with us." The woman from before replied.

    Li Fengchang didn¡¯t even know who Fang Er was.

    "I drove the carriage for the eldest lady." The woman added, "As for what happenedthe eldest lady said it was nothing."

    How could nothing happen!

    Disappeared halfway, and found the car smashed by rocks and the horses killed. Even if no body was found around, everyone guessed that the person was dead.

    Half a month later, the person returned home without seeing anyone alive or dead.

    If this means nothing happened, then damn it.

    Something must be going on!  Li Fengchang's face tightened and he quickened his pace as he entered a courtyard.

    There were many people in the courtyard, servants, girls, young women and daughters-in-law, either sitting quietly or whispering in twos and threes. When they saw Li Fengchang shouting greetings, the quiet courtyard became lively, Li Fengchang waved his hands and ignored them and walked into the house.

    A woman came to the house. She was dressed plainly and was over forty years old, but she had a neat figure and a trace of anxiety on her face. This was Li Fengchang's wife Zuo Shi.

    "I received the news and rushed back overnight." Li Fengchang asked without greetings, "How is Xian'er?"

    His eyes had already swept around the room. Except for Mr. Zuo and the two maids, he saw no one else. The door to the inner room was closed tightly.

    Zuo didn't say much, and looked solemn: "Master, Xian'er must be injured."

    With the carriages and horses smashed to death and the people disappearing, he knew something must be wrong. Li Fengchang took a deep breath and said, "What did the doctor say?"

    Zuo said: "I haven't seen the doctor yet."

    It has been a day and a night since returning home. Li Fengchang¡¯s brows were raised, and Zuo Shi raised his finger to point at his face.

    ¡°It¡¯s my face that¡¯s hurt,¡± she said.

    ?¡­

    ?¡­

    "Something must have happened to my face."

    "Only this kind of injury doesn't require calling a doctor."

    ¡°When we entered the door, all the girls and servants saw it, and the eldest lady¡¯s head and face were all wrapped up.¡±

    "Grandma won't let me see it even if she comes."

    "He speaks and moves very neatly. Although he doesn't see anyone, he doesn't miss a meal."

    Several girls sitting under the wisteria trellis in the yard were also talking, and the topic revolved around Li Minglou, the eldest daughter named Xian'er, who returned yesterday.

    Being able to eat and drink is sometimes a reflection of a person¡¯s state.

    Thinking of the table of food that had just been brought in, a girl pressed her belly: "We were so worried that we couldn't sleep all night, so we came here before dawn, and we didn't even care or have the mood to eat."

    "The injury shouldn't be serious." Another girl agreed.

    How can you eat if you are seriously injured?

    "But the injuries on the face cannot be judged as serious." A girl shook her head, "That's the face."

    For girls, even a mosquito bite scar on their face is a natural disasterWhat kind of injury would it be if you had to cover your head and face so that no one could see it?

    "No wonder you're back." A girl murmured, "I can't marry the young master of the Xiang family like this."

    A girl with a disfigured face cannot marry. No one wants to marry a wife who cannot look directly at her face.

    This is the first thought that girls who need to get married have about this matter, but for Li Fengchang, he doesn't care about it.

    After listening to Zuo¡¯s description of Li Minglou¡¯s behavior when he came back, he also confirmed that Li Minglou had no injuries on his body, except for his face.

    It should have been injured by a rock. He had personally seen the scene of the accident. The carriage and horses were smashed. It was incredible that he could escape from it. It is normal to have injuries.

    No matter what, having a worry-free life is a great joy.

    Li Fengchang breathed a sigh of relief, nodded to Zuo, walked to the inner door and knocked gently: "Xian'er, it's always good to let the doctor take a look. The injuries on your face are not incurable."

    From the moment Li Fengchang came in to talk to Mr. Zuo, the door to the inner room was always silent. No matter how big the room was, it was impossible not to hear what was said inside.

    At this time, Li Fengchang knocked on the door, and there was no longer silence inside.

    "Thank you, uncle." A female voice came, "I've already seen the doctor, there's no need to look any further."

    ¡°You don¡¯t have to look for it anymore, it means you can¡¯t see it anymore.¡±

    Li Fengchang remained silent.

    "There are many miraculous doctors in the world." He said firmly, "You must give it a try."

    "Uncle, I've taken the trouble." The female voice said, "It's just that I won't use it for the time being."

    Li Fengchang wanted to say something, but Zuo pulled his sleeve and shook his head at him.

    Although Li Fengchang was puzzled, he believed that his wife would stop and try to persuade her. The female voice in the room was calm and calm, which showed that her mood was stable and she was not out of her mind and confused.

    Zuo Shi winked at him again.

    "Okay." He nodded, "Just come home safely. Nothing else matters. You have a good rest first."

    "I know, uncle, don't worry." The female voice inside said.

    "Then you rest, your aunt and I will go back first. If anything happens, ask someone to call us." Li Fengchang said simply.

    A female voice inside said thank you, and Zuo had already gone out first, asking everyone in the yard to retreat. After a period of noise and confusion, it became quiet, and Li Fengchang said a few more words and walked out from inside.

    "Is it okay to just ignore her?" He frowned and whispered.

    "It's not that we don't care. The injury on her face is brought to the doctors over and over again. It's a repeated injury to her." Zuo said, "Don't force her to collapse."

    Women Li Fengchang took a deep breath: "The sooner an injury is treated, the better."

    Zuo Shi nodded in response: "Master, don't worry, we have sent people to search for famous doctors. Xian'er traveled for half a month before coming back, so let her take it easy first."

    Li Fengchang nodded: "I don't know how much I have been offended in the past half month."

    Let her take it easy first and ask some questions in two days.

    The footsteps went away with a soft sound, and there was no one else inside and outside the courtyard except the girl and the servant who stood holding her breath.

    The woman standing by the window of the inner room withdrew her gaze and looked at the mirror on the dressing table by the window.

    The head and face in the mirror are still wrapped in black cloth, and the deep gaze shines through the gap.

    She, Li Minglou, is back.

    But it wasn¡¯t a journey of half a month, but a journey of ten years.

    It¡¯s been ten years
