Chương 3: Horrible Scars

These people were Yang Yiting's father and foster mother, Yang Jiang and Yang Mei Shi, who happened to be the concubine of Yang Jiang.

It seemed that Yang Ruo went home to complain to them.

Yang Yiting was still laying on the bed lazily when they arrived. Since she was seriously injured, no one would blame her if she didn't get up to give them courtesy.

Seeing the two entering the house, she didn't move, and only called to them. "Father, aunt."

Such a name was really unaccustomed, and she called them in a little blunt and unnatural manner. But the two did not care.

In Yang Mei Shi's eyes, this eldest daughter was originally a twisted person. Every time she saw them, she always stood aside and wouldn't speak. She didn't even dare to look at them, straight in the eyes. She was not at all like the sweet-talking second daughter who was caring and sensible.

When her father saw Yang Yiting, he naturally thought of her biological mother and his former wife, Yang Yin Su, who was formerly known as Xie Yin Su.

Xie Yin Su was the wife chosen by his parents for him, and she was the daughter of Xie's family in Suzhou. Xie Family was a well-known scholarly family of the Dasheng Dynasty.

The Bishan Academy that was founded couldn't account for how many talents they had sent to the Dasheng Dynasty. More than half of the officials in the empire court came from Bishan Academy.

It was just that the education which Yang Yin Su received from a young age made her very orthodox, so, the matriarch of Yang family, Madame Yang Yin, respected Yang Yin Su more than any average lady.

But Yang Jiang didn't. What he liked was a gentle and charming woman like Yang Mei Shi, who would be submissive, know how to act like a young girl, and know how to serve him comfortably, so that his machismo could be fully satisfied.

Anyway, he got married to Xie Yin Su, but she became sick and weak after giving birth to a daughter, and died three years later.

During that time, the person that Yang Jiang feared most in the family, his father, Yang Jiang Gong, also passed away.

So he disregarded his mother's opposition to Yang Mei Shi, helped her family, Wu family, to become a powerful house. He gave the daughter that Yang Yin left behind to Wu family's to nurture and raise. Since then, he had never taken care of this eldest daughter.

A year ago, Wei family wanted to get married to a lady from the Yang family. Originally, the prince wanted to marry the second daughter of Yang family, Yang Ruo, as proposed by Yang Jiang, but was strongly opposed by his mother.

Madame Yang Yin had been living in seclusion in the Buddhist monastery since the old patriarch, Yang Gong, passed away, ignoring family affairs.

However, after learning about her son decision, she came out of the Buddhist hall and scolded him severely, saying. "The young and the old are in designed order of the heavens. I say no. How can the prince marry the second daughter of Yang family and the daughter of a concubine, overlooking the first daughter of Yang family and the daughter of a wife, to become the prince concubine in a king's palace? Never done."

Yang Jiangi's face had turned white like a frozen bone. Yang Yin's words were undoubtedly hitting him hard in the face, because neither was he the eldest son, nor was he born by Yang Yin. He was born to a concubine who died of complications after giving birth to him, and he was raised by madame Yang Yin.

Had it not been for the death of his elder brother Yang Wu, after the death of the old man himself, the seat of the man would not be his turn to sit on anyway.

Grandmother had made it known to him that there was no way he could replace his blood relationship with Yang Yiting.

After learning of this, Yang Mei Shi and Yang Ruo were crying in front of him, but he was unable to do anything because of the power of Madame Yang Yin, the Matriarch.

For this reason, the Wu family had hated madame Yang Yin to death. The old immortal had been looking down on them since the first day they entered into the Yang family. And after that, she had retreated to the Buddhist hall and would only come out to ruin their plans whenever she felt like doing so.

At this moment, seeing Yang Yiting laying crookedly on the bed, her face burned by the fire, Yang Mei Shi felt that the resentment in her heart had finally eased a little bit.

Yang Mei Shi took a few steps pretending to be concerned, and said with regret. "Poor Yiting, how come you are hurt like this? Let me see what's going on?"

She teasingly came to Yang Yiting's face.

How come the mother and daughter were the same? They both want to pull the veil off her face so badly! Yang Yiting sighed inwardly.

She subconsciously avoided her hand, turned her face away, and said faintly. "Thank you for your concern, mother, but the injury on my face is a bit unsightly. I'm afraid it will scare you, mother. I think it's better if you will look at it when I get better in the future."

Yang Mei Shi smiled awkwardly and said, "You girl, what do you say? I am not just your aunt, I'm your stepmother. No matter what you become, how can a mother dislike her own daughter?"

Sure enough, Yang Mei Shi was really shameless, and her acting ability was also very impressive. Yang Yiting thought. Since you want to see it that way, then let it be so.

Hence, she tore off the scarf on her face. Facing Yang Mei Shi, she said slowly. "Since you're very kind, stepmother, I need to stop worrying myself then."

Yang Mei Shi didn't expect that Yang Yiting would take the initiative to pull her veil to show her the scars because she didn't react for a while. But after seeing the scar on Yang Yiting's face, Yang Mei Shi screamed. "Aaargh."

Slowly, she took two steps back with a look of horror on her face.
