Day by day, time passed, and nine days had elapsed since the encounter with Hai Tang.
In those nine days, just as Situ Jiuyue had promised, Hai Tang was taught by Situ Jiuyue how to use the venomous spider to treat the scars on her face. Hai Tang did not speak of the hardship openly, but Zhao Ke, who came back to report, still had an expression of sympathy when he spoke of it.
It must have been truly painful.
Hai Tang endured it nonetheless. The first seven days of the venomous spider treatment were the hardest, yet during these days, she refrained from scratching the wounds and made it through safely. As long as no complications arose, it would not be long before her appearance was restored to its original state.
The suffering was not in vain and yielded excellent results, which was surely a cause for joy. Amidst this brief happiness, the Second Miss Jiang celebrated her first New Year in Yanjing City after an eight-year hiatus.
