Xia Yan didn’t know why Du Xia was so hostile toward her. “Does Madam… I mean, does my mother-in-law have any opinions about me?”
Xia Yan had a ‘Take things as they come’ attitude toward life. Since she was already a part of the Mo family, she decided to be a dutiful wife and carry on the family’s legacy.
Du Xia looked at the woman with an amusingly stern expression. “Madam Mo said you lied to the Xia and Mo family.”
“She called me a liar?” Xia Yan pointed at her nose and asked in disbelief.
“Yes, she did!” Du Xia replied without hesitation.
Xia Yan sneered, “Okay, then are you also dissatisfied with a liar like me?”
Du Xia pursed her lips and said, “Since I am a maid, I dare not be dissatisfied with you.”
Xia Yan shook her head and smiled bitterly. She didn’t know how to respond to such a straightforward little girl. She pondered and asked, “Where is Young Master Mo He? I have something to tell him.”
“Young Master Mo He is in his study. You are not allowed to leave this room.”
Xia Yan was helpless. “B-But I need to tell your young master something. I can’t speak to him if he doesn’t come here.”
Du Xia seemed troubled. However, Xia Yan didn’t rush the little girl. She only said, “Why don’t you tell Young Master Mo He that I have something to tell him and see how he responds?”
“Then Young Madam should…” Du Xia fixed her gaze on Xia Yan, afraid she would trick her.
Du Xia’s worry amused Xia Yan. “Don’t worry, Du Xia. I will stay in this room obediently.”

Du Xia pondered and said, “I will relay this to the butler.”
Xia Yan wanted to say something, but she stopped. She decided to thank Du Xia instead. When the little girl left, Xia Yan got up and looked for her luggage. She searched through her bag and made sure she had everything she needed. Then she stretched and decided to take a shower.
‘Mo He probably won’t come to this room anytime soon, so I can relax for a bit.’ Xia Yan walked to the bathroom and turned on the tap to wash away her fatigue with hot water.
After taking a shower, she looked at her fair and smooth face in the bathroom mirror. The mist didn’t affect her natural beauty.
Xia Rou was supposed to marry into the Mo family today. Xia Yan wouldn’t have been here if her grandmother’s life weren’t in danger.
Xia Yan and Yao Qing’s lives drastically changed ever since Xia Yan’s mother passed away and her father remarried. Her once loving father had become mean, especially after her stepmother brought Xia Rou home. Xia Rou was one year older than Xia Yan, making her father even more biased toward Xia Rou.
Everything that Xia Yan’s mother did for her in the past was futile in her father’s eyes, and the only person that loved Xia Yan was her grandmother.
She once thought that she would be free from restrictions and lead her grandmother toward a better life when she finally grew up. However, she didn’t expect her grandmother to fall ill when her beautiful life began.

Xia Yan held her grandmother’s critical report and slid to the ground in the hospital corridor, unable to gather her thoughts. It wasn’t easy to find a capable doctor who could treat her grandmother, Fang Yao.
However, Xia Rou interfered and used Fang Yao’s life to force her into marrying Mo He. Xia Yan shivered at the thought of Xia Rou’s terrifying yet beautiful face. She raised her head and looked in the mirror, then she reached out and gently touched her fair skin.
If it weren’t for Xia Yan’s big brother standing up for her back then, her face would have been filled with scars, just as the rumors suggested. Previously, Xia Rou hired someone to cut Xia Yan’s face because some students thought she wasn’t as beautiful as her younger sister.
They were only thirteen or fifteen years old at that time. Since then, Xia Yan decided to wear a black mask, even though her brother saved her. She then bribed the people who wanted to hurt her and told them to spread the news that she was injured.
Although Xia Yan spent a lot of money, she managed to get Xia Rou off her back. After that, the Xia family lost a beautiful daughter. Xia Yan looked into the mirror and put her black mask back on.
