Chapter 1062 New Year's Eve Dinner

Yuwen Kun rushed in like a gust of wind, lifting the curtain. Miao Yin had just finished processing the evidence when she saw Yuwen Kun arrive. She smiled and said, "City Lord, weren't you attending the victory celebration banquet?"

At this time, it is crucial to remain calm; there might still be a way out.

Yuwen Kun remained silent, his eyes fixed on Miaoyin with icy coldness.

He was too confident in the past and never thought that the person next to him was actually an imposter, Lin Yuesha, so he never found out.

After Li Ruoshuang exposed everything, Yuwen Kun looked at the person in front of him again and his mind immediately cleared.

She was not Lin Yuesha. Lin Yuesha's eyes were lively, and even when she was afraid, she would express strong emotions, while the person in front of her was better at concealing them.

"Lord of the city, what are you going to do?"

Miaoyin kept retreating until Yuwen Kun forced her into a corner. She leaned against the cold wall, unable to move.

Yuwen Kun curled his lips into an extremely sarcastic smile. Without saying a word, a tearing sound was heard, and Miaoyin's dress was ripped, revealing a patch of snow-white skin on her neck.

"Hehe, Li Ruoshuang is really capable."

The rosewood flower on Miaoyin's chest was indeed his handiwork. However, because it had been copied, the lines were not smooth enough. If you look closely, you can still make out some of the details.

At this point, there's no need to pretend anymore.

"Are you one of Qi Heng's men?"

After learning the truth, Yuwen Kun calmed down, his heart filled with mixed emotions.

He was furious at being deceived, but this very fact perfectly explains why he had no interest in the person in front of him, proving that he was not a scumbag.

It's alright, Lin Yuesha is with Qi Heng, Yuwen Kun can still snatch her back.

"I was sent by Lord Helian."

Now that things had come to this, Miaoyin said, half-truthfully, "Back in Jinyu Pass, Helian Cheng had already devised a plan."

Miaoyin's parents were Helian Cheng's subordinates, and Helian Cheng used this to coerce her, leaving her no choice but to comply.

"Lord Helian said that if I live up to expectations and leave behind a son or daughter, I will have leverage to control you in the future."

Miaoyin was naturally unwilling, but she couldn't fight against the powerful; what could she do?

"People from Helian City?"

Yuwen Kun stroked his chin. He and Helian Cheng had a cooperative relationship back then, so this was indeed a possibility.

Miaoyin was trembling with fear, unsure of how much Yuwen Kun knew. She was terrified that Yuwen Kun would find out that she had schemed against Bai Dingfeng.

Miaoyin is unaware of the situation, but it seems that Li Ruoshuang has definitely betrayed her.

Yuwen Kun didn't ask any more questions; his initial curiosity had given way to a lack of interest in knowing.

"Don't worry, you are different from Li Ruoshuang. You are not my subordinate, so I will not put you to death."

Although Yuwen Kun had no feelings for Miaoyin, he couldn't bring himself to harm her because she looked exactly like Lin Yuesha.

Having been deceived for so long, Yuwen Kun decided to go all out and give Miaoyin back to Qi Heng.

"Pack your things and come with me to Yingcheng."

Although going to the territory of Daqi is risky, things wouldn't be interesting if they went too smoothly.

Yuwen Kun stood up and urged Miaoyin, "Be sensible. You have no choice. You survived because you have a face just like Lin Yuesha's."

Once Miaoyin reveals her true colors, she will surely die.

Qi Heng and Lin Yuesha were in the fishing village when Yuwen Kun said with a playful smile, "How about we make a bet?"

"What kind of bet?"

Miaoyin was pondering how to get the message out when Yuwen Kun was watching her while she changed her clothes, clearly not giving her the chance.

"If we switch you to Qi Heng's side, how long do you think it will take for Qi Heng to realize you're an imposter?"

Driven by curiosity, Yuwen Kun thought this would be a rather interesting game.

Miaoyin lowered her head. Based on her understanding of General Qi, she knew that he would recognize her at a glance as soon as she appeared.

However, Miaoyin dared not say it. On the one hand, she could not reveal that Qi Heng was her master, and on the other hand, she dared not continue to provoke Yuwen Kun at this time.

"Lord of the city, could you please excuse us?"

Yuwen Kun was watching from the side, which made Miaoyin very uncomfortable.

"What grounds do you think you have to demand anything from this city lord?"

It's laughable that a prisoner would try to negotiate with him.

Yuwen Kun stood with his arms crossed, watching coldly. Even when Miaoyin took off her bodice, he didn't react at all.

In just a quarter of an hour, Miaoyin finished packing her belongings and was taken directly into the tunnel by Yuwen Kun.

Lin Yuesha was unaware of the impending turmoil; in the fishing village, the New Year's Eve dinner had just begun.

This year's New Year's Eve dinner is different from others. Hundreds of people from the fishing village are celebrating together, and more than a dozen dishes have been laid out on the large round table.

Lin Yuesha arranged the tables and chairs to be rotating, just like in a modern restaurant, so that everyone could eat, drink, and chat together without having to stand up to pick up food.

Since joining the fishing village family, everyone has felt cared for and loved. There are occasional minor disagreements, but no one holds grudges.

With plenty of food and drink, wages that couldn't be earned elsewhere, everyone worked hard, and the profits were distributed fairly. The canteen prepared a variety of delicious dishes, so there was no worry about food or drink. It was practically a life of paradise.

Especially the female workers in the workshops, who came with a face full of sorrow and were suppressed by their families, are now earning money and have a voice. They are very proud and no longer walk with their heads down as before, but with their heads held high and chests out.

The fishing village is open-minded. They won't gossip about Tian Dali and Zhao Shi's marriage, nor will they hurt Xiao Tu with their words. Even if it's a premature baby like An Ning, Lin Yuesha will do her best to treat her, even if it costs a lot of money.

"Young General, Young Madam, let's all toast you both."

Last time, when everyone took turns toasting, they got the young mistress drunk. This time, having learned from their mistake, they had already agreed to toast together.

"Okay, I hope for favorable weather and a smooth year ahead."

Lin Yuesha raised her glass and drank it all in one gulp, but in her heart she thought that she should be able to reunite with her family next Chinese New Year.

"The blueberry wine is so delicious, and the meatballs are amazing too!"

Everyone ate and praised the food, creating a lively atmosphere. After an hour, almost every table was empty.

It was already dark; it was time to light the lamps.

The dockworkers didn't leave; instead, they helped the women in the kitchen clean up the dishes and other items, and prepared another batch of dumplings.

I made several kinds of dumpling fillings: chives, eggs and shrimp; cabbage and pork filling; mackerel dumplings with bones removed and fish bones chopped; and sauerkraut dumplings, which are indispensable in the north.

Several large iron pots were set up in the courtyard, and big bones were put in to simmer in a slow fire to make bone broth, which would be served with dumplings later.

"I ate too much at the New Year's Eve dinner, my husband, shall we go for a walk on the beach?"

Lin Yuesha prepared red envelopes and gave them to the guards who couldn't spend the New Year with them, as a small token of her appreciation.

"good."

Qi Heng draped a cloak over Lin Yuesha to shield her from the wind, and the couple headed straight for the beach.

On the eve of the Lunar New Year, light snow began to fall. A good snow promises a bountiful year, so it seems next year will be another good year.
