128 A Slap to the Face (8)

When Qiao Lian woke up, it was already morning.

She stretched her back and yawned. She only remembered that she had injured herself yesterday when her face started to hurt.

She stood up and walked to the mirror. She realized that even though the five handprint marks on her face were still extremely obvious, the swelling has started to subside a little.

That medicinal ointment was indeed pretty useful!

As she thought about this, she finished washing up and then quietly walked downstairs. She noticed that all the meals had been prepared, but none of the servants were in the house.

She sat in the dining room and ate her breakfast, before returning back to the master bedroom upstairs.

Due to the bruises on her face, it would be untoward to leave the house like this now.

Did this mean that… she had no other choice but to stay at home the entire day?
