If there aren't any urgent matters, Kang Chen should be returning soon.
This slap must be exploited thoroughly. As for the deception, she doesn't want to use it continuously, occasionally would be enough. This is the only way to achieve the best effect.
Zhao said to Ming Mei: "Young Madam, why don't you slap me instead..."
Ming Mei gave her a look: "Why should I slap you? Stop having such wild thoughts... Go find out what Beitang Qing is up to."
Zhao nodded and went to perform her task.
Once Zhao had left, Ming Mei got into bed and waited for Kang Chen to return.
She picked up the mirror and used a cotton swab to wipe off the ointment on her face. She hoped that her injuries wouldn't heal, the scarier she looked, the better.
Once she wiped it clean, she touched her swollen cheek. It was burning and painful as if on fire.
Ming Mei had dozed off while waiting for Kang Chen.
By the time Kang Chen could respond, she was already fast asleep...
