The Comeback of the Charming Farmer's Wife

Chapter 2431 - 10: Aren’t You Afraid

With that, she took off her veil herself.

"Wow, the little beauty is quite cooperative... Oh my!"

Just as Eldest finished the first half of his sentence, he turned his head and saw Mu Huaen’s disfigured half-face, his eyes bulged, and he fainted.

"Eldest, Eldest..."

"Eldest, what’s wrong with you?"

As they watched the man faint, the others gathered around.

One of them, a round-faced man, glared angrily at Mu Huaen, "You snake-hearted beauty, what did you do to our Eldest?" Well, he only saw half of Mu Huaen’s face.

"I did nothing, didn’t he want to see my face?" Mu Huaen’s indifferent eyes surprisingly showed a hint of amusement, "Fainting just from seeing my face, really can’t handle it."

The round-faced man naturally didn’t believe it. He suddenly stood up, intending to seize Mu Huaen, "I will avenge our Eldest!"

"Alright then." As Mu Huaen said this, she already showed the other half of her face to the round-faced man.

"Oh my mother..." After saying this, the round-faced man fainted too.

The collapse of the round-faced man attracted everyone’s attention.

"A ghost..." The brave ones knew to run, while the timid ones simply closed their eyes.

Half of her face was the epitome of a beauty, and the other half had no flesh at all, bones covered with a layer of scar-filled skin, scarier than those with centipede-like scars crawling on their faces.

"A bunch of cowards, here to rob?" Mu Huaen looked at the group helplessly.

Zhuan’er looked at her lady, feeling miserable inside, "Miss, quickly put on your veil." Her own appearance scaring people into fainting; saying people are timid, but it also illustrates how frightful the face has become.

The girl felt heartache!

"Are you afraid?"

"Miss..." Zhuan’er naturally wasn’t afraid, only felt sorry for her lady.

"Why say that?" A pleasant and familiar voice came, "You know she’s just worried about you."

Mu Huaen did not turn her head, but knew who the person was by the voice, and suddenly felt a bit panicked.

She wanted to quickly put on her veil, but the more panicked she became the harder it was to do so, and ended up dropping it.

Ye Haoyang saw her head lowered all the time, sighed, and picked up the veil.

The masculine presence came closer, causing Mu Huaen’s heart to beat faster.

But Ye Haoyang’s actions made her freeze.

Raising Mu Huaen’s face, he examined it closely, then helped her put on the veil, "Thinking of putting on the veil now? Why did you take it off earlier? Scaring people is fun?"

After hearing him ask several questions in succession, Mu Huaen finally reacted.

Her eyes met Ye Haoyang’s gaze, not seeing mockery or disdain, but rather compassion.

So she asked directly, "Aren’t you afraid?"

"Afraid?" As if hearing a funny joke, "You should know I’m a rough man, on the battlefield what kind of scars haven’t I seen? Noses sliced off, half a head missing, what does this count for?"

"Oh."

"Why are you alone?" There were no guards around, no extra servants, just a driver and a maid, and wasn’t this girl supposed to be in Funan?

"Why have you returned to the capital?"

Mu Huaen didn’t answer his question further.

"Sneaked back to the capital?" Ye Haoyang chuckled, "Come on, I’ll take you home; even under the Emperor’s nose, there are brave ones."

"Thank you!"

"The little girl is being polite with me?" Ye Haoyang didn’t think much of it, he even reached out and ruffled her hair, "If my mother knew I met you and didn’t take you home, she’d skin me."
