Chapter 3: Ugly Person
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Her father, Chu Qingze, was alone in the hall.
A man in his forties was wearing a long cyan robe. He had thick black hair and was sitting by the tea table, reading the newspaper attentively.
Uncle Liang took small steps forward and said softly, "Old Master, Fifth Miss is here."
Chu Qingze seemed to have only just noticed Chu Yunyao's arrival. He put down the newspaper in his hand and looked up at his daughter, whom he had not seen for many years. His brows furrowed deeply, and he did not even bother to ask about her well-being.
Chu Qingze called a servant and instructed, "Bring Fifth Miss to the guest room we cleaned. Without my permission, she is not allowed to walk around."
"Go around from the backyard. Don't scare the other young misses and masters."
Chu Yunyao noticed that the servant was also looking at her as if she had seen a ghost.
Especially after she entered the room, the servant ran out as if she was escaping. She quickly closed the door and locked it.
Did her father imprison her out of fear that she would escape?
Chu Yunyao did not take it seriously. As the precious daughter of the leader of the Dark Sect, who had founded the assassination organization, Chu Yunyao did not think much of it.
A soldier's daughter never cries.
These wooden doors and windows meant nothing to her.
After traveling for so many days, she had not eaten her fill yet. She had also consumed a lot of energy last night. Besides being tired and sleepy, Chu Yunyao also felt a burning pain in her neck.
She looked around the bedroom and saw a small Western mirror on the dressing table.
Chu Yunyao unbuttoned her clothes and sat in front of the dressing table. She was about to check if the wound from the older woman's scratch had become inflamed.
Seeing her face full of pustules, Chu Yunyao was so scared that she almost fell off her stool.
Ugly!
Too ugly!
Horribly ugly!
It was disgusting and unbearable to watch!
It was difficult for her to survive, but her ugliness almost killed her.
Chu Yunyao could not believe that she would have to meet others with this ghastly appearance in the future.
It did not matter if she scared others to death. What was important was that it was so annoying when she looked at herself.
She had once been an international beauty pageant champion, widely regarded as the number one beauty in the entertainment industry.
Thankfully, her mind was strong, and her stomach was empty, so she did not vomit on the spot.
Chu Yunyao tried her best to hold back the discomfort. She stared at the red, swollen pustules on her face and realized it was not a simple skin disease. It seemed to be poisoning, the fetal poison before she was born.
After careful observation, Chu Yunyao found that the facial features were still exquisite despite the poor skin, which was festering and bleeding.
She had a pair of big black eyes and thick curly long eyelashes.
Her eyebrows were dark, with appropriate shades and beautiful shapes.
Her lips were red, and her teeth were white. Her nose was small and tall
Her skin was as white and smooth as milk.
The most important thing now was to cure her face.
Chu Yunyao rummaged through the closet and found a few sets of clothes that were partly new. It was obvious that a rich young lady had worn and discarded them. She could smell the washing powder on them.
Chu Yunyao changed into a set of relatively clean clothes made of coarse cloth and lay on the bed to rest.
From the moment she returned home until now, she had not seen anyone from the Chu family except Chu Qingze. Chu Qingze detested her and did not even bother to speak to her.
She still could not figure out what was happening with the Chu family, so she decided to continue acting foolishly.
Half-awake, Chu Yunyao heard the sound of the door being unlocked.
When she opened her eyes, a servant came in with a bowl of water, rice, and a plate of stir-fried shredded pork with cucumbers.
Seeing that Chu Yunyao had woken up, the servant placed the food on the table and quickly left the room.
Even though she was starving, Chu Yunyao thought of what had happened last night and did not eat immediately.
She did not have anything to test for poison.
Chu Yunyao dipped her finger in the water and put it on her tongue. She immediately spat it out and poured the water into the corner of the wall.
