Chapter 754 - 748: Suffering the Consequences
This pair of eyes that he had seen countless times, this woman who he had protected for many years but who had harmed him so much, how could he not recognize her?
Concubine Du was equally stunned, and it took her a while to come to her senses. She dropped the crutch in her hand and stumbled towards Young Master Jie.
"My lord, Aqing knew that you could not bear to part with her. You came here to pick me up, didn’t you? Du Xintong is so cruel, throwing me into the back yard and having two rough maids watch me, not allowing me to go anywhere. It was with great difficulty that I escaped. Let’s go, my lord, take me home; I want to go back to the Jie Family with you... Ah..."
Regaining his composure after the shock, Young Master Jie of the Jie Family pushed the pained woman clinging to him away as if she were a viper, causing Concubine Du to fall to the ground.
"My lord, why are you..." Concubine Du looked up at Young Master Jie with disbelief written all over her face.
That push from Young Master Jie had also knocked the scarf from her head, revealing her severely burned face.
"Your... your face..." Young Master Jie was taken aback by the drastically changed face, and staggered back two steps.
She knew she was burned; on the day of the fire, everyone else who was burned died, only she, with her strong fate, managed to survive.
Gu Youyou had said that even if she survived, her life would be worse than death.
He didn’t know what kinds of pain plagued her body, but seeing her face, he understood what ’living was worse than dying’ meant.
