It's for disinfection and anti - inflammation.
That is to say, it's particularly necessary to apply some disinfectant and anti - inflammatory drugs like saline or iodine at this moment.
These substances will cause obvious stinging pain when applied to the wound.
Maybe Huaimei was so nervous about the drug - testing that all her senses became dull. It wasn't until after the Snow - skin Ointment was applied that she finally felt the pain.
Later, if no one had reminded her and let her just "suffer" on the ground alone, she might really have died from the pain.
This was actually because Baidi had distracted everyone's attention by making a bet with Baizheng while Doctor Zhang was applying the medicine.
As a result, no one noticed that when Doctor Zhang was applying the Snow - skin Ointment to Huaimei, he added a step they had never seen before - he dipped a cotton - swab - like thing into a small jar handed to him by Uncle Zhu and took out some colorless and odorless water.
If everyone had noticed this before, they probably wouldn't be so surprised now.
Thinking of this, Baizheng gave a faint smile, her eyes shining. "The Snow - skin Ointment truly lives up to its reputation. Huaimei's wound isn't deep, so it's natural that it can heal. Miss Huaimei, remember to thank my second elder sister for her generous lending."
Huaimei was secretly happy, but seeing Prince Chu's face as dark as thunder, she didn't dare to say a word. She just knelt obediently on the ground, not even daring to raise her head.
Zhuo Yi, who had been watching the show for a long time, had already put down his cup.
The moment Huaimei's wound was exposed, his eyes were fixed on Baizheng, who remained calm throughout.
He had long known that this woman was not easy to deal with, but her performance today still impressed him.
How on earth did this woman manage it?
Could she really have swapped the Snow - skin Ointment right under everyone's noses?
This possibility also popped into Baidi's mind. She immediately got up and rushed in front of Doctor Zhang.
"I know why! You must have swapped the Snow - skin Ointment! Don't think that just because you secretly swapped it, I can't do anything to you!
A few days ago, I accidentally dropped the jar of my Snow - skin Ointment on the ground, and there's a small chip on it, just below the jar's opening. It's hardly noticeable!"
As she said this, she snatched the jar of Snow - skin Ointment from Doctor Zhang's hand and opened the lid to take a closer look.
"This jar definitely doesn't have that chip..."
She stopped abruptly.
Right below the jar's opening, there was a small, winding chip, exactly the same as the one she had accidentally caused.
This was the very jar of Snow - skin Ointment she had brought!
"This jar... How is this possible... No! It can't be... There was definitely Tuwu juice in it!"
Baidi stared wide - eyed, touching the chip in disbelief.
It was so sharp, so real. It wasn't a dream. This chip was really there!
That meant this was the very jar of Snow - skin Ointment she had taken out, the very one into which she had personally mashed the Tuwu juice, applied it to her face, and watched as her face became scabbed, broken, and rotted!
It was the real deal.
"Second elder sister, you've lost." Baizheng looked at her calmly, repeating the words Baidi had once said to her condescendingly.
But when she said these words, there was no arrogance or aggression in her tone. It was as if she was just calmly stating a fact.
Song Yiqing gloated, "Madam Chen, when do you plan to go to the West City Gate? Remember to tell me in advance. I'll definitely gather my friends and come to cheer you on."
Feng Linyuan also sneered, "Just bringing people isn't enough. Remember to bring lots of gifts. Yongding City is so big. It might take more than a day to kneel from the West City Gate to the East City Gate. Madam Chen will surely get hungry, so bring her plenty of food."
Feng Linhuai immediately understood and laughed, "That's easy. Whether Madam Chen likes to eat vegetables or eggs, we'll supply enough!"
"No!" Baidi was on the verge of collapse. She hysterically shouted, "I'm the legitimate wife of the Duke of Chen's mansion. My elder sister is the Crown Princess. You can't treat me like this!"
Compared to Baidi's collapse, Bai Nianyin was completely stunned.
His face turned green and purple at times, and finally became deathly pale.
He suddenly realized that he had been like a fool, always being deceived by Baidi and stupidly doubting Baizheng.
He looked at Baizheng in the distance, who looked calm. Since he had questioned her, this younger sister had never looked at him directly again.
He must have really hurt her heart!
Bai Nianyin gave a bitter smile.
Baizheng was right. Yongding City wasn't suitable for him. He should go back to the battlefield.
Thinking of this, he didn't care about Baidi's fate anymore, nor did he want to listen to how Feng Linyuan and the others would deal with Baidi. These were all the just retributions for his younger sister's evil deeds.
He no longer had the face to stay in the Marquis of Dingyuan's mansion.
No one noticed that Bai Nianyin's desolate figure quietly slipped out of the main hall and never came back.
At this moment, just as devastated as Baidi were the old Duke of Chen and the Crown Prince Feng Jingye.
After all, Baidi was the legitimate wife of the eldest son of the Duke of Chen's mansion. As long as she hadn't been divorced, her fate was tied to that of the Duke of Chen's mansion.
If Baidi really knelt all the way, it would be the Duke of Chen's mansion that would lose face!
At this moment, the old Duke of Chen wished he could strangle Chen Jianzhi. What kind of wife had he brought back!
"Marquis, Prince Yi, Young Master Song... Di'er was just temporarily stimulated because her face was injured and poisoned and could no longer be restored. That's why she suspected the Marquis's wife. She didn't do it on purpose.
Please, for the sake of her being so young and having her appearance ruined, take pity on her this time and don't argue with her."
The old Duke of Chen flattered with a smile.
Feng Linyuan smiled faintly, but his eyes were unfathomable. "Duke of Chen, you're joking. How could this Marquis argue with Madam Chen?
It's just that the bet between her and this Marquis's wife was witnessed by His Majesty.
If anyone goes back on their word, it's the crime of deceiving the emperor, and the whole family will be executed..."
The Duke of Chen trembled violently in fear. He quickly knelt in front of Feng Linche and said, "Your Majesty, please forgive me! I have absolutely no intention of going back on my word...
It's just that this bet is a matter of life and death for this poor girl!
Di'er just entered the Duke of Chen's mansion. The young couple just got married a few days ago, and then this happened... She was just temporarily out of her mind, which is why she misunderstood the Marquis's wife.
She's still young. It would be too harsh if she suffered such a great disaster just because of a misunderstanding. And at that time, the General's mansion will also blame me for not protecting their daughter well..."
