Bab 153: Scars

"This is bad," Doctor Xu gravely commented, standing to his full height. He shook his head in disappointment, turning to Duchess Wang Qixing with a grave expression.

"Although your maidservant did an excellent job with the bandages, this cut might leave a scar," Doctor Xu said, his face filled with pity. He turned to his apprentice who was carrying a tray filled with all sorts of items upon it.

"I've prepared an ointment to prevent scarring, but it might still leave a scar on her skin. It's not going to be a deep one, lucky for her. But if she's subjected to a thorough examination by one of the servants in the Palace, it will not go unnoticed."

Li Xueyue frowned at his words but kept her mouth shut. She was the one who foolishly ran without thinking about the repercussions.

"How serious is it? Is it going to be visible to the eye?" Duchess Wang Qixing asked.
