But he was also very nervous about Chu Jinlingâs answer.
Chu Jinling shrugged. âWhether I care or not, she is my Sisi.â
âBut if Sisi is disfigured, Noble Consort, sheâ¦â Lin Aotian hesitated.
He was in a difficult position. If Lin Sisi became an imperial consort in the future, he would have to care about her appearance.
Especially the Xiao family behind Noble Consort Xiao. Would they allow a disfigured woman to become Chu Jinlingâs Imperial Consort?
Chu Jinling was about to say that his mother was not someone who judged based on looks.
A scream suddenly came from the inner room.
âAh! My face, how did my face become like this? How did this happen?â Lin Sisi screamed.
Chu Jinling rushed in and saw her frightened and confused look. He quickly hugged her. âSisi, donât be afraid. Itâs okay. If we release the poisonous blood, your face wonât be like this! Youâll be fine!â
âRelease the poisonous blood. Are you trying to cut open my face?â Lin Sisi cupped her face with both hands. Every word she said caused her face to twitch in pain.
Her heart felt like it was hanging on the edge of a cliff and could shatter at any moment.
âSisi, donât be afraid. Your face is injured. Youâll be fine after you recover. The most important thing now is to save your life!â Lin Aotianâs hands trembled helplessly.
The mighty general didnât know how to comfort his daughter.
âDr. Su, can you avoid cutting my face? I donât want to be disfigured. Iâm afraid to go back to how I was beforeâ¦â Lin Sisi choked.
She had suffered from the pain of being ugly since she was young. It wasnât easy for her to be cured by Su Yingxue. She had held her head high and puffed out her chest, becoming confident and radiant.
Now, they were going to cut her face and make her even uglier than before.
She resisted violently and shook her head desperately. âI donât want to! Dr. Su, give me some medicine to reduce the swelling on my face. I donât want to become so ugly. I donât want toâ¦â
She couldnât help but shout. Unable to reach the whip at her waist, she pushed the table over, smashed the teacups, and made a mess of the room.
âSisi, donât be angry! Staying alive is the most important thing! Your face doesnât matter. With Father here, no one will dare to laugh at you!â Lin Aotian wanted to get closer.
Lin Sisi turned around abruptly and stared at him with bloodshot eyes. âNo! They will laugh, they will scold me, they will say that Iâm an ugly monster who canât get married. 1 donât want to live like this anymore. I want to appear in front of people openly! I donât want toâ¦â
Everything in the past flashed through her mind, and her entire person was wrapped in fear.
Especially when her gaze fell on Chu Jinling, she subconsciously covered her face.
Chu Jinling heard her sobbing.
He smiled and went forward to rub Lin Sisiâs head. âDonât be afraid. If anyone dares to laugh at you, General Lin will beat them up for you. Iâll beat them up so that they wonât dare to say another word.â
Lin Sisi bit her lip. â1 donât want to! If my face is ruined, I canât marry you. Iâ¦â
She wanted to marry Chu Jinling and be with him for the rest of her life.
âWho said that? Father and mother dote on me so much. I have the final say in who I want to marry!â Chu Jinlingâs hearty voice always sounded so reassuring.
Su Yingxue felt a little uncomfortable hearing this. Although Lin Sisi was a military officer, she knew that the appearance of an imperial consort was more important than her status.
âYou lied to me! If I were an ugly monster, Emperor⦠The Emperor and the Noble Consort would not agree!â Lin Sisi retreated to the dressing mirror.
She had smashed everything in the room but couldnât bear to touch the items on the dressing table..â
