Shen Chuwei nodded, "Alright."

The three of them entered Xun Qingqing’s guest room, and Jun Wuxian even had the inn’s server bring some tea and snacks.

Xun Qingqing briefly described the process of her disfigurement.

Shen Chuwei was so infuriated by the brief account that she could sense the fear and helplessness Xun Qingqing must have felt at the time.

"How can there be such despicable beasts? They truly don’t deserve to be called human."

"Fortunately, Axian arrived just in time, otherwise I would’ve been done for," Xun Qingqing said, looking at Jun Wuxian with immense relief in her heart for his timely rescue.

"Axian?" Shen Chuwei eyed Xun Qingqing and Jun Wuxian with a suspicious smirk, "You two are having an affair."

With a coy face, Xun Qingqing said, "We’re engaged, planning to marry by the end of the year."

Before leaving, Shen Chuwei had asked Xun Qingqing about her situation, and now upon meeting again, they were engaged? Planning to marry by year’s end? It was already mid-autumn in October, so there weren’t many days left till the end of the year.

"It looks like I’ll be able to attend your wedding when I return, congratulations on winning a handsome husband," she said.

Xun Qingqing bashfully chided with embarrassment, "Weiwei."

Jun Wuxian: "..." Winning a handsome husband? That’s a first for me.

Shen Chuwei stared again at the scars on Xun Qingqing’s cheeks. Perhaps it was because she was a doctor; from the scars, she could guess how ruthless the perpetrator had been.

"It’s evident that Jun Wuxian isn’t a man swayed by beauty, and your judgment is indeed rare," she remarked.

Xun Qingqing thought so too and felt a bit proud, "Axian says I’m not ugly."

Shen Chuwei said, "There is a saying, ’beauty is in the eye of the beholder.’ In Jun Wuxian’s eyes, the scars on your face don’t exist."

Upon hearing this, Xun Qingqing blushed, her eyes brimming with mirth, "That’s what he said too."

As Jun Wuxian listened to their conversation, he felt as if he were invisible. They bantered back and forth, while he picked up his tea cup and sipped his tea. It was fortunate he was present, otherwise who knows what they would talk about.

Shen Chuwei confidently patted her chest, "I’ll prepare some ointment for you when we return, ensuring you’ll be beautiful on your wedding day."

Xun Qingqing’s eyes lit up at these words. Even though Jun Wuxian didn’t care, every woman naturally longs for beauty – to remove the scar would be ideal.

"Can you really get rid of the scars on my face?"

Confidently nodding her head, Shen Chuwei replied, "Yes, I guarantee you’ll be satisfied."

Excited beyond words, Xun Qingqing thought, who wouldn’t want to look beautiful on their wedding day? Marrying with a scar would always be a regret.

Seeing the joyful smile in Xun Qingqing’s eyes, Jun Wuxian felt relieved. Although he had said he didn’t mind, the scar on her cheek still affected Xun Qingqing’s mood and thoughts.

Healing the scar on her face would undoubtedly be for the best.

Once the two of them had talked enough, Jun Wuxian finally spoke up.

"Shen Chuwei, why were you in the Imperial Palace?"

Shen Chuwei looked at Jun Wuxian and touched her nose, "Well, about that..."

Seeing her hesitate, Jun Wuxian asked, "What’s wrong? Can’t you tell me?"

Shen Chuwei, planning to confess everything once the National Master returned, thought there wasn’t much she couldn’t reveal.

She whispered, "Because they mistook me for Princess Jiuyou, I was brought to live in the palace, but I’m not her. I plan to clarify this with them in a few days."

Jun Wuxian hadn’t expected his half-guess to be correct; she had been recognized by someone from the palace, considering she looked so similar.

"How do you know you’re not her?"

"I know who I am, don’t I?" Shen Chuwei said.

Jun Wuxian asked, "Then, do you know you are not a concubine-born daughter of the Shen Family?"

Shen Chuwei paused, puzzled, "Not a concubine-born daughter? Am I an illegitimate child then?"

Jun Wuxian: "..."

"The concubine-born daughter of the Shen Family was left to be raised in the countryside and died of illness at the age of eleven. Afraid of being blamed by the Shen Family, her nurse picked a girl of similar age to impersonate Shen Chuwei and replace her in the Shen Family. So there’s a high chance that you are Feng Wuyou. "

Shen Chuwei was surprised. The original owner wasn’t a concubine’s daughter of the Shen Family, but she wasn’t Feng Wuyou either; their temperaments were too different.

"But... I am not," she protested.

Jun Wuxian, growing impatient, said, "Feng Wuyou had Pet Snow Group, and she could communicate with animals. Do you still think you’re not her?"

Shen Chuwei explained, "Snow Group isn’t my pet; it belongs to Xiao Jinyan. I do have the ability to communicate with animals, but that doesn’t mean I am Feng Wuyou. I know who I am."

At a loss for how to explain, Shen Chuwei thought, she couldn’t just casually mention her transmigration from modern times, could she?

Seeing her disbelief, Jun Wuxian suggested, "It doesn’t matter if you don’t believe you are Feng Wuyou, I have a way to prove it."

Shen Chuwei was curious, "How would you do that?"
