"Young Miss." Qing Teng woke up while soaking in the bath and saw Nangong Beiying standing by, so she called out.
"You’re awake. How are you feeling?" Nangong Beiying, who was staying by Qing Teng’s side, asked when she saw that her complexion didn’t look as bad.
"I feel very relaxed, the sense of oppression is gone. It’s just that I feel weak all over." Qing Teng expressed her feelings.
"As long as you’re okay, Xuexue told you to soak well; she said it’s good for you." Nangong Beiying wasn’t as knowledgeable in this area as Qin Xue, so she didn’t say much more.
"Is Miss alright?" Qing Teng recalled the muffled groan she heard before she fainted.
"She’s fine, just exhausted. She’ll be all right after so rest." Nangong Beiying checked the water temperature. Fortunately, it wasn’t cold.
"Thank you for your hard work." Qing Teng thought that if not for these two young ladies, she would never have been able to live a normal person’s life.
"What silly things are you saying? You’re our sister; we’ll definitely help you with whatever we can. Just live your life well." Nangong Beiying had raised Qing Teng since she was young. She’s her sister, and she must help and take good care of her.
"Miss, how am I qualified to be your sister? You treat so well; how can I repay you for that?" Qing Teng had never felt familial affection growing up, but she found it with Nangong Beiying. Now, there’s Qin Xue as well. How could she ever repay them?
"Qing Teng, from the mont I picked you up, you beca family. Let’s not speak of such things again. There’s no need to draw such clear lines within a family, wouldn’t you agree?" Nangong Beiying hadn’t realized that Qing Teng kept this in her heart all along. Perhaps the better they treated her, the greater the pressure she felt.
"I understand, Young Miss. I won’t say it again in the future." Qing Teng made a decision in her heart that anyone who dared harm her two young ladies would face her wrath.
"Good, that’s the spirit. Just keep soaking." Nangong Beiying finally breathed a sigh of relief, fearing that if they continued the conversation, she’d run out of words.
Nangong Beiying wasn’t good at chatting, especially about the kind of feelings the original owner had with Qing Teng. She didn’t know how to express them properly. To avoid being detected as different, the best way was to end the topic.
"Oh, the beautiful lady is awake. I never expected your true looks to be so charming, no idea which lucky scoundrel you’ll end up with." Qing Zhu was taken aback by Qing Teng’s unmasked appearance—she was so stunning that Qing Zhu thought Qing Teng’s beauty was almost unreal.
"Qing Zhu, please don’t tease . It’s not necessarily a good thing for a woman to be too beautiful. I would rather be more ordinary." Qing Teng truly wished she were more ordinary. Her striking appearance always made her the center of attention, like standing naked in the street under scrutiny. That feeling was anything but pleasant.
"You have a point. A woman too beautiful becos a source of trouble, envied by many." Qing Zhu nodded. In her previous life, even as soone with average looks, she attracted many n. Had she looked like Qing Teng, she’d probably drown in envy.
"People are just like this, those who are too beautiful wish to be more ordinary, while those who are too plain wish to be more beautiful. But many things in this world are predetermined and not easily changed." Nangong Beiying thought that people are eternally unsatisfied in their hearts.
