Chapter 124.1: Rebirth of the Black Lotus (l)
As soon as the words were said, not only the woman who wanted to slice the flesh but everyone else who followed Lin Shiheng also froze.
“Third Brother, what are you talking about?”
Lin Shiheng looked back at his younger brother with a serious expression and seriously analyzed it, “Fourth Brother, don’t you know? Young ladies aren’t like us men who don’t care about scars on our bodies. However, if Young Lady Mu cuts her hand to make medicine for the Princess, how would a husband look at her if she has a scar in the future? Am I wrong?”
Lin Chuanwang, who was following his third brother, froze, “Yes, but cutting the thigh is...”
“Ah, you wouldn’t understand.”
Lin Shiheng didn’t bother to look at the woman’s pale face beside him but slowly and methodically explained, “Since the doctor said that the Princess needed the flesh of her blood relatives to make medicine, and Young Lady Mu volunteered, we shouldn’t stop her in fulfilling her sisterly love for the Princess. But if a noble young lady had a scar on her hand, she wouldn’t be able to find a husband in the future. However, this isn’t the case if it was the thigh. It’s usually hidden under her clothes, and there’s a lot more flesh there. No one would see that a piece of flesh was sliced off.”
“What’s more...”
He spoke while picking up the corner of the woman’s sleeve with two fingers, exposing her hand to Lin Chuanwang’s eyes without touching her skin. He spoke with a nonchalant tone as if he was going out to buy vegetables, “Look, Fourth Brother, Young Lady Mu is thin and weak, and there’s not much meat on her hands. Cutting it here may not be enough for the medicine. If a scar is left and there isn’t enough for the medicine, won’t it be a waste of time for Miss Mu to suffer?”
Lin Chuanwang, who was only 15 years old this year, hadn’t studied much. His original intention of stopping this scene was gradually forgotten because of his third brother’s analysis, and he even nodded along with Lin Shiheng’s words.
