Chapter 1060 Approved

Lin Yuesha suspected Qi Heng, but the other party was too discreet and she had no evidence to prove it.

Lin Yuesha was helpless, unable to outwit the old fox Qi Heng.

"My wife, is this all you want from your husband?"

Qi Heng was both amused and exasperated. Just a few days ago at the market, his wife had been very proactive, but now, in such a short time, she was treating him like a thief. Indeed, women are fickle.

"You have a criminal record."

Qi Heng acted nonchalantly, which made Lin Yuesha wonder if she was just imagining things. She always seemed to be led by the nose by Qi Heng.

Despite her questions, Lin Yuesha obediently closed her eyes.

Qi Heng took out the top-grade blood jade he had painstakingly collected from his purse and put it on Lin Yuesha's wrist.

A moment later, Lin Yuesha opened her eyes.

"Is this blood jade?"

When Lin Yuesha learned that the Blood Jade was extremely precious, even a small piece was worth at least ten thousand taels of silver, she instantly felt a heavy weight on her neck.

Thinking of the miscellaneous books she had read in the past, Lin Yuesha held Qi Heng's hand tightly.

"What's wrong, my wife? Are you too touched?"

Blood jade has the power to ward off evil spirits. Lin Yuesha is timid, so giving her blood jade is at least more reliable than those exorcism talismans from fake monks.

The blood jade was sourced from the black market. In order to create a shape that his wife would like, Qi Heng personally polished it and made it into the shape of a red heart.

He had once seen it in Lin Yuesha's booklet; the little girl had drawn a red heart with cinnabar, and the shape was somewhat unique, but very beautiful.

"My husband, you are so thoughtful."

Lin Yuesha was somewhat pleased to receive the New Year's gift, but when she thought of a rumor, she shuddered and felt a chill run down her spine.

"What rumor?"

Sending a piece of blood jade didn't seem to resonate with Lin Yuesha, leaving Qi Heng quite frustrated and unsure of the problem.

"I've heard that this blood jade is used for burial. It's placed down a person's throat when they have their last breath, and then the person is left to die."

Over the long years, when the person turns to bones, the jade will absorb the blood and become blood jade, which is extremely yin in nature.

As Lin Yuesha spoke, she nervously rubbed the blood jade on her chest, and trembled.

"Ha ha!"

Qi Heng, a man who can control his emotions, couldn't help but burst into laughter at his wife's antics. Lin Yuesha was acting strangely, just like the little girl who used to burn paper money in the courtyard at midnight.

"My wife, have you ever considered writing storybooks?"

She's so good at making things up; she could go write stories, like ghost stories, and they'd definitely sell.

For the people of Daqi, time is the least valuable thing. Blood jade can form on a corpse in a hundred years or so, and every household will use blood jade as a family heirloom.

The blood jade he found was naturally formed, and its rarity made it all the more precious.

However, it cannot be ruled out that some unscrupulous merchants will counterfeit it. If the blood jade is fake, it will be noticeable during the polishing process.

In order to help Lin Yuesha resolve her inner conflict, Qi Heng explained in detail.

"My husband, thank you so much. I'll drink this first as a sign of my respect."

Lin Yuesha raised her teacup and drank it all in one gulp.

Qi Heng sipped his drink cooperatively and said, "You finish it, I'll just drink it casually."

The couple snuggled together, creating a warm and cozy atmosphere.

Meanwhile, a dramatic change was taking place in Sishui City.

Recently, Yuwen Kun has been condemned by everyone for executing the Bai family, and Sishui City is in chaos.

Having finally quelled the rebellion, and on the eve of the Lunar New Year, Yuwen Kun held a victory banquet at the city lord's mansion to reward his subordinates.

"Please feel free to make any requests you may have."

Yuwen Kun was restless and lacked energy. As soon as he sat down, he wanted to leave.

For some reason, he no longer wanted to stay in the city lord's mansion, but instead wanted to go to Daqi through the tunnel and take a trip there.

During this period, he neglected his wife again, and their relationship, which had finally warmed up, fell to a freezing point once more.

This couldn't go on. Yuwen Kun decided to take the risk and bring his wife back to Daqi. At least when they returned to their homeland, Lin Yuesha could relax and be less wary of him.

"Lord, I have a small request. I wonder if you would be willing to grant it?"

A burly man chuckled twice. He liked women from the Great Qi, but those captured were all ordinary and vulgar, with rough hands. He preferred women with delicate skin and tender flesh.

Now that Qi Heng controls the north, it is even more difficult for them to go to the Great Qi. He has not gone to seek pleasure for a long time.

"Speak."

Yuwen Kun raised his hand, signaling his men to continue.

"I have always been fond of Miss Li. I wonder if you, Madam, would be willing to relinquish this affection?"

Before she followed the city lord, Li Ruoshuang was a lady from a prominent family and the daughter of an official. Every time the two met, Li Ruoshuang would turn her head away with an arrogant expression.

The man wanted to pick the peaches at the very top of the tree. He had finally gotten his chance and had earned merit in battle. Now it was up to the city lord to decide whether to let him have them.

"Approved."

Yuwen Kun remained expressionless and agreed immediately without much thought.

"Lord of the city, how could you give this servant away?"

Li Ruoshuang was about to come to the reception room to report when she heard Yuwen Kun agree to give her to his subordinates for their pleasure, and she almost fainted.

"How dare you! You yourself said you're a servant, what's wrong with giving you away?"

The servant's life belongs to the master. Yuwen Kun doesn't see anything wrong with buying and selling her at will. He will explain to his wife that Li Ruoshuang has been serving in the inner quarters recently, so his wife must be used to her.

"you……"

Li Ruoshuang was dumbfounded, never expecting such heartless words to come from Yuwen Kun's mouth.

She admitted that Yuwen Kun had saved her, and that Li Ruoshuang was willing to die for the city lord.

Unable to win the city lord's heart, she gave up hope. The two fled to the fishing village, sharing life and death. Has the city lord forgotten all of this?

Yuwen Kun was well aware of her feelings, yet he handed her over to his subordinates to be trampled upon without a second thought.

What does this mean? It means that she went from being a slave in the city lord's mansion to a woman who is available to anyone, just like those kidnapped girls, to be humiliated and defiled. She would rather die than live like this!

"Lord, if I may ask one more question, have you made your decision?"

Li Ruoshuang moved the corners of her mouth slightly and asked calmly.

She already knew the answer, but a tiny ember of hope remained in her heart; she refused to give up.

"yes."

Yuwen Kun waved his hand, telling Li Ruoshuang to pack up and prepare, and then went to say goodbye to his wife.

"hehe."

Li Ruoshuang smiled, then pulled a dagger from her sleeve and held it to her neck.

"You think you can threaten this city lord with this stunt?"

Yuwen Kun was already irritable, and his patience was almost exhausted, so he said impatiently.

"No, I'm not threatening you."

As she lay dying, Li Ruoshuang picked up the pride she had abandoned and revealed a strange smile.

Li Ruoshuang's life was extremely tragic, but Yuwen Kun wasn't much better off. He thought he had found true love and cherished her like a treasure, but in reality, she was just a fake!

Treating a counterfeit as a treasure and even showing it off to Qi Heng is the biggest joke ever!
