Chapter 471 - 150 Joy Together
Day by day, time passed, and nine days had elapsed since the encounter with Hai Tang.
In those nine days, just as Situ Jiuyue had promised, Hai Tang was taught by Situ Jiuyue how to use the venomous spider to treat the scars on her face. Hai Tang did not speak of the hardship openly, but Zhao Ke, who came back to report, still had an expression of sympathy when he spoke of it.
It must have been truly painful.
Hai Tang endured it nonetheless. The first seven days of the venomous spider treatment were the hardest, yet during these days, she refrained from scratching the wounds and made it through safely. As long as no complications arose, it would not be long before her appearance was restored to its original state.
The suffering was not in vain and yielded excellent results, which was surely a cause for joy. Amidst this brief happiness, the Second Miss Jiang celebrated her first New Year in Yanjing City after an eight-year hiatus.
Early in the morning, Jiang Li put on her brand-new dress made by the tailor, a green satin embroidered jacket with a skirt of aqua cloud patterns. She usually preferred subdued colors, so even though the hues of her dress were not vibrant, the fabric was of high quality, and the craftsmanship was exceptionally surprising. Having grown a bit taller over the past half a year, she was slender and elegantly beautiful, a rare sight in Yanjing City.
Tonger placed the sandalwood lotus silver hairpin in Jiang Li’s hairdo, then looked in the mirror, feeling quite satisfied with herself. She said, "It’s done, miss, take a look."
Looking at the lady in the mirror, Jiang Li still found her unfamiliar. However, she had stopped rejecting the identity of Miss Jiang the Second and seemed to have truly accepted the fact, becoming familiar with this new identity over the past six months.
