Chapter 93 is not something to be told to outsiders.

His robes were pure white, as white as snow, yet the wide sleeves were embroidered with intricate patterns, seemingly flowers but not quite, possessing an indescribable allure. His long, dark hair was casually tied back with a brocade handkerchief. At this moment, he was slowly wiping the wine stains from his lips, his features obscured, yet his movements were breathtakingly elegant.

At this moment, most of the crowd was watching the farce centered around Young Master Li, but he alone sat calmly by the window, which seemed particularly out of place.

I became increasingly curious about what he looked like, so I tilted my head and stared straight at him without blinking.

After a long while, he finally looked up.

My head suddenly went blank.

Absolutely amazing!

While I was lost in thought, someone suddenly shoved me from the side. I lost my footing, my eyes widened, and I fell sideways.

"Sister!" Zhao'er shouted.

My wrist was grabbed hard, and I fell straight toward Zhao'er.

Instead of falling onto the cold ground, I heard a muffled groan and then I landed squarely on top of Zhao'er. I estimate that Zhao'er's entire body was damaged by the impact, covering 98 percent of her body.

"Sister, are you hurt?" All I could see was Zhao'er's anxious expression. His fair forehead was covered in sweat, and he was gripping my wrist tightly with one hand, his palm damp with sweat.

I snapped out of my daze, instinctively shaking my head. I patted my stomach; the steamed bun was still there. I wiped the cold sweat from Zhao'er's forehead with my sleeve and frowned slightly. "Where did you hurt yourself?"

Zhao'er smiled, her face a little pale, "I'm fine."

"What are you doing! Didn't you see she's pregnant!" Rouge screamed through gritted teeth, glaring fiercely at Young Master Li.

It was he who pushed me.

"Hmph, you think you can get away with just a few empty words? This is a lesson!" Young Master Li laughed arrogantly.

Suddenly, a large hand reached out in front of me, with slender fingers, even knuckles, and a clean, crisp appearance.

I was stunned for a moment, then looked up and saw a pair of dark eyes. Was it him? Uh... that celestial being sitting by the window?

"Long time no see." He smiled, a smile also appearing in his dark eyes, as if it could capture one's soul.

Long time no see? We've met before? That doesn't make sense... How could I forget such a stunning man...?

"We can talk about some past events that are best left unsaid to outsiders," he continued with a smile when I didn't move.

Uh? That sounds familiar.

"It's only been a few days, and you've already forgotten Gongjin?" He slightly suppressed his smile, as if there was a hint of resentment in his expression.

spray……

Gong...Gongjin! Zhou Yu! This is so embarrassing.

Is it really that magical? He appeared just because I mentioned Zhou Yu? Is my telekinesis that powerful?

Just as I was wondering, sighing, and regretting, I suddenly saw the celestial being who called himself "Gongjin" wink his left eye at me.

A tingling, electric current instantly coursed through my body… The legendary flirtatious wink? This humble woman is far from deserving of such treatment…

Fortunately, I'm naturally intelligent. The moment I saw the stunned Young Master Li standing to the side, I immediately understood the intentions of this celestial-like Lord Gongjin. (You: Naturally intelligent? The ancients said: "He who knows others is wise; he who knows himself is enlightened… One must have self-awareness…" Muttering to myself. (Smiling: Pshaw, you're just jealous of me, jealous of my little peach blossom luck…) I'm spitting blood.)

I raised my hand and placed it in his palm, giving it a quick squeeze to show that I knew he was an imposter, and to reiterate my gratitude for his chivalry in helping me out of injustice.

With a sorrowful expression, I said, "Gongjin, why did you only arrive now? This weak woman... was almost bullied..."

Lord Gongjin immediately helped me up, looking at me with great concern, "Is the child alright?"

I shook my head, on the verge of tears.

As the two exchanged words, Young Master Li began to frequently wipe away sweat.

"You have harmed the villagers and oppressed the good people. Do you know your crime?" With a hint of coldness in his voice, Lord Gongjin turned around and looked at the trembling Young Master Li.

"There was also harassment of respectable women, plus premeditated murder," I added.

"You're talking nonsense!" Young Master Li shouted immediately, his face ashen, looking anxiously at Lord Gongjin.

“First, our Chunfeng Deyilou is a restaurant, yet you harassed my employees, cough cough... harassed my waiters, which is tantamount to harassing a respectable woman; second, I am pregnant, yet you deliberately harmed me. If it weren’t for my brother, we might already be dead, one with the unborn child. Isn’t that premeditated murder?” I raised my eyebrows slightly and said coldly.

"You...you say you're General Zhou, but who knows if you're an imposter!" Young Master Li shouted, sweating profusely, pointing at Lord Gongjin.

My heart skipped a beat. Oh no! I've been found out I'm a fake!

"What audacity!" Lord Gongjin slightly raised his lips. "How can I prove it to you?" His smile was gentle and harmless, like a light breeze.

Young Master Li stammered, unable to utter a word.

With a soft whistle, Leng Feng was drawn. A flash of cold light appeared before their eyes, and Lord Gongjin had already sheathed his sword, returning to his harmless, breezy demeanor.

Young Master Li was so terrified that he fell silent, his legs trembling so badly that he wet his pants.

After a while, the crown on his head broke off, and his messy hair fell all over his face.

With a scream, Young Master Li ran wildly out of the restaurant, his hair disheveled.

The restaurant was silent for a long time.

I finally managed to shut my mouth, then stared blankly back at Lord Gongjin, who had a gentle smile on his face. He looked so innocent, as if he hadn't swung that chilling sword strike just now.

"What's wrong?" he asked with a smile.

I shook my head, but I still couldn't come to my senses.

"You... Gongjin... Zhou Yu... I... um..." I grinned and began to explain why I had casually borrowed his name earlier, and also to explain why I had pinched his hand earlier...

"Hahaha...hahaha..." Suddenly, someone burst into laughter from the side.

I turned my head unhappily and looked at the window again. A slightly disheveled man was laughing so hard he was pounding his chest. He seemed to have been sitting by the window the whole time, but just now, because Lord Gongjin was so dazzling, his presence was overshadowed. But now, the presence of this man who was laughing so hard he was cramping up was too strong, so strong that I wanted to strangle him.

"Zijing, you're smiling so happily." Lord Gongjin spoke, his face beaming with warmth.

The man immediately shut his mouth, stood up, walked to Lord Gongjin's side, raised his hand and patted his shoulder, but his eyes still held an undisguised smile. "Hello, may I ask what unspeakable past this lady has with Gongjin?"

Three black lines appeared on my forehead. I started grinding my teeth. Why did I have to bring up that sore spot...?

With a graceful flick of his sleeve, Lord Gongjin introduced him, "His name is Zijing, also known as Lu Su. Although he is a bit slovenly, he is a renowned scholar, a man of both literary and martial talents."

"He really holds a grudge." Lu Su muttered, touching his nose.

"Hmm?" Lord Gongjin glanced at him sideways, drew out his nasal tone, and added with a smile, "Zijing is most afraid of mice."

"Ah!" Lu Su shouted.

I nodded with a smile and touched my chin.

"Then... let's talk about some of our past events that we shouldn't tell outsiders?" Lord Gongjin smiled again.

I took a drag immediately.
