The first thing Bei Yutang did upon returning home was to wash herself clean, reapply ointment, and take out long-sleeved shirts and trousers from the wardrobe to cover her wounds.
Those people were clever; they never hit her face, so the injuries were all on her body, hidden by clothing. This was why Bei’s mother hadn’t discovered what had happened to her daughter.
Although she had suspected something before, she had been easily fooled by the original owner’s words. After all, the original owner had never lied to Bei’s mother, so she naturally believed her, which was why the secret had been kept for so long until Bei Yutang’s accident.
She glanced at the time; Bei’s mother would be home in half an hour. Bei Yutang went into the kitchen, checked what ingredients were available, and used them to cook a simple home-cooked meal.
After Bei Yutang finished cooking, she heard the sound of a lock being opened at the door.
As soon as Bei’s mother entered the house, she smelled the aroma of food and headed straight for the kitchen.
“Tangtang, why are you cooking today? Didn’t I tell you I’d cook when I got home from work?”
Bei’s mother was both touched and bittersweet at her daughter’s diligence and thoughtfulness.
Bei Yutang mimicked the original owner’s way of speaking, “Mom, you work so hard. I’ll cook from now on. Don’t worry about my studies; I definitely won’t neglect them.”
“Sigh, you child.”
“It’s settled then.” Bei Yutang slammed her hand on the table.
The original owner rarely cooked, mainly because Bei’s mother objected, and since she was a good girl, she naturally listened to her mother.
“Mom, come and try my cooking.”
“I don’t even need to taste it to know that my Tangtang’s cooking is delicious.”
Bei’s mother pulled out a chair, and Bei Yutang placed a bowl of rice in front of her.
Her eyes lit up after she took a bite.
“Delicious!” These two words weren’t just a compliment, but a heartfelt truth.
“Tangtang, your cooking skills are improving! You’re even better than Mother!”
“It’s alright. I just followed the instructions in the book.” Bei Yutang said shyly.
The mother and daughter enjoyed their dinner together warmly. Although Bei Yutang’s injuries were very painful, she endured the pain and chatted happily with her mother.
Bei’s mother didn’t notice anything unusual about Bei Yutang at all.
The next day, after breakfast, Bei Yutang left home with her schoolbag. After going downstairs, she didn’t head for the bus, but instead waited near the apartment complex. After seeing Bei’s mother leave, she returned home.
The first thing she did upon arriving home was to call her homeroom teacher and ask for sick leave.
The homeroom teacher agreed without any objection.
Actually, the teachers knew about Bei Yutang’s situation, but because of the Yi family, no one dared to stand up for her. Therefore, the teacher was so quick to grant her sick leave, knowing exactly why she needed it.
After returning home, Bei Yutang wasn’t afraid to go to school, but rather prepared to recuperate and improve her martial arts skills.
Without martial arts skills, going to school would only result in being beaten.
Of course, all of this was done secretly, without letting Bei’s mother find out.
From that day on, Bei Yutang obediently left home in the mornings, returning after Bei’s mother left. She stayed home to cultivate, and when she got tired, she would go to the Interconnected Network to research information about the Hunter Guild and the factions of four-star hunter masters.
