Chapter 493 Li Caihong Wants The Ointment
The early morning after Li Caihong came to know from her maid that Li Qiang had already left the Li Manor, Li Caihong went to see her mother.
At this moment, inside Li Rong's room, she was standing in front of her mother with a parted mouth.
Though her face was almost covered except her eyes, Li Rong could sense the shock her daughter was feeling when she whispered
"She refused…she refused to give me the ointment…"
Li Rong had an expression on her face that showed how scared she was seeing Li Caihong's shock and silence after those few words.
She was afraid that Li Caihong would really do what she had said so she tried to comfort her daughter by holding her hand as she said
"Caihong, Mother promises you that mother will look for the best physician for you, alright? Don't take it to heart."
Li Caihong however threw away her mother's hand and said loudly.
"What other physicians…no one can treat me."
As she said this, she threw away the cloth that covered her face and Li Rong, though had seen her daughter's face before too, couldn't help but gasp in surprise seeing her again.
Why did the scar on Li Caihong's face look more hideous than yesterday?
Her heart sank inside her chest as Li Rong raised her fingers to touch the scar but she couldn't even gather the courage to touch the horrible scar.
She was also afraid that she would hurt Li Caihong.
Li Caihong's eyes were red and filled with tears as she saw the shock and surprise in her mother's eyes.
She knew that even her mother could see it.
Her scar…it was looking more and more horrible with every passing day.
Li Caihong felt very angry and kicked the nearby table making Li Rong step back and flinch seeing her behavior.
"I want that ointment. Those physicians….they can't treat me. Can't you see how deep my scar is? Only that ointment that healed Yi Lei's scar can heal me and that ointment is possessed by Li Rui."
Li Caihong suddenly looked at his mother after finishing her words. She stepped closer to the already scared Li Rong who was trembling fiercely seeing the craziness in her daughter's eyes.
At the same time, tears slid out of Li Rong's eyes as she observed just how much her daughter had changed.
Li Caihong had never been like this before. Or that was what Li Rong thought.
Both of her daughters have always been like this but it was she who committed a great mistake in observing them and even fueled their great deeds with her overprotective and spoiling nature.
Looking into her mother's eyes, Li Caihong spat out each and every word with gritted teeth.
"I don't care how you get it but bring me that ointment otherwise ….I will do something that would make you regret your whole life, Mother.".
Li Rong's eyes widened at the threat.
She opened and closed her mouth, unable to find any words to say.
"What!"
Li Caihong shouted and Li Rong flinched again.
All these years, even her own husband had never shouted at her. After leaving Ci Manor, she had never suffered any hardship.
So Li Caihong's behavior was very new to her, and at the same time, very scary.
"Caihong…"
Just at this moment, a new voice sounded inside the room. Perhaps both the people inside the room were so lost in their thoughts that they never heard the sound of the door being opened.
Li Na stepped behind her mother and pulled her trembling body away from her sister.
Looking at Li Caihong's face with a frown on her forehead, she said sharply.
"Caihong, how can you raise your voice at Mother? You…"
Li Na stopped amidst her words when she looked at Li Caihong's face clearly. Her words stuck inside her throat seeing the hideous scar on her sister's face.
However, there was no pity, pain or sympathy or anything in her eyes that a sister should hold at this moment for her sister.
In fact, she was feeling disgusted inside her heart as she looked at the scar so she immediately moved her eyes away.
It was …very ugly!
Li Caihong's face however didn't have any emotion as she looked at her sister and then at her mother.
Without saying a single word to her sister or mother anymore, she jerked her sleeve and then left from there.
"Li Na….Caihong…she… what has happened to her…"
Li Rong whispered as she held her elder daughter's hand and looked at her youngest daughter's leaving back.
Li Na patted her mother's hand as she was also looking at Li Caihong's back with a frown on her forehead.
A moment later, she looked back at her mother with a smile on her lips and said
"It is actually my fault, Mother. I didn't talk to Caihong even once after we had returned from the Imperial Palace. I shall talk to her today only."
Li Rong immediately nodded her head as she also thought that perhaps it would be nice.
Since that day, almost everyone except for Li Rong and the servants that served them, everyone else has isolated them.
So they need to have at least one person inside this Manor on their side.
After comforting her mother, Li Na immediately left for Li Caihong's Courtyard.
She was surprised when the maid stopped her outside Li Caihong's room.
"Second Young Miss is requested to wait here. This servant will go inside and inform My Lady about the Second Young Miss' arrival."
Li Na didn't like to be stopped outside but she nodded her head forcefully as she thought that it might be because Li Caihong didn't want anyone to see her face. She had also heard from her mother how Li Caihong had not let anyone enter her courtyard for so many days.
Even though she didn't have any wish to see Li Caihong's terrible face, she also needed to make Li Caihong understand what was good for them otherwise her sister would not harm herself but her as well.
