Chapter 213 Weakness

“Miss Lin, the city lord will be your husband in the future. Women of the Great Qi have always regarded their husbands as their heaven, so of course you should take care of his daily life.”

Granny Wu picked up the conversation and said, "As for the rest, all the servants in the City Lord's Mansion are at your disposal."

Yuwen Kun took a few steps, then suddenly stopped, his blue eyes fixed on Lin Yuesha, and asked, "Could it be that you are unwilling?"

"Of course not. I'm worried that my cooking skills are rough and the food I make is too simple, which might bore you."

Lin Yuesha forced a smile that looked more like a grimace; she couldn't keep up the act any longer.

"It's alright, I won't blame you."

After Yuwen Kun finished speaking, he strode away.

“Miss Lin, you don’t have enough servants. Please bear with it for now. I will send you more people after a while.”

Once Lin Yuesha's status was confirmed, Granny Wu immediately became respectful towards her.

"Alright, Granny Wu, I will try my best to learn the barbarian language."

Lin Yuesha forced herself to stay alert and answered Granny Wu's question.

"Miss Lin, don't you think there's something different about the tattoo on your chest?"

Granny Wu brought out a mirror and showed Lin Yuesha the tattoo on her chest.

"Yes, there are some, but the flowers here are smaller and more numerous."

Since they were both women, Lin Yuesha had no more reservations. In her previous life, she was afraid of pain and didn't have a tattoo. But now that she was reborn, she was forced to have this done by Blue Eyes.

She had to admit that Yuwen Kun's technique was extremely good; the bright yellow flowers covered all the scars.

"That's right, because your breasts will grow bigger in the future, so the flowers will be stretched out, layer upon layer, and that will be more harmonious."

Granny Wu explained Yuwen Kun's behavior.

Lin Yuesha covered her face with her hands. This pervert! He actually thought of all this and even included it in his plans!

After seeing Granny Wu off, Lin Yuesha felt completely drained. She leaned back in her chair, not wanting to move at all.

“Sister Yue Sha, if we can escape, why don’t we go to Yu Tan Temple again?”

Jiang Baozhu sincerely suggested that she had always thought she was unlucky, but Lin Yuesha was even more unlucky than her.

"I think so too."

Lin Yuesha gritted her teeth. She had to go and talk to the old monk about life. She couldn't afford to be a benefactor like him; she wanted to live a few more years!

Outside the door, Granny Wu quickened her pace to catch up with Yuwen Kun.

"Granny Wu, is there something you want to say?"

Yuwen Kun stood with his hands behind his back, his robes fluttering in disarray, gazing indifferently at the moonlight.

"yes."

Because Yang Xiu's maid ran away, his men caught Yang Xiu, but she has not been executed yet; she is being held in a small room.

"That woman named Yang Xiu lives across the street from Miss Lin. She claims to be Miss Lin's future sister-in-law."

Granny Wu repeated what Yang Xiu had revealed: she had originally planned to execute Yang Xiu directly, but now she was in a dilemma.

If Lin Yuesha is the future wife of the city lord, then Yang Xiu's status will naturally be different.

"Sister-in-law?"

Yuwen Kun turned his head, his blue eyes fixed on Granny Wu, and spoke softly.

"Miss Lin has no biological brother, but she has a stepbrother."

Granny Wu wiped away a cold sweat. She had served in the city lord's mansion for decades, and even when she was by the side of the former city lord, she had never been this afraid.

The city lord never gets angry, but his silence is more terrifying than his anger.

"And there's one more thing."

After a moment's hesitation, Granny Wu said, "I only found out after asking around that Miss Lin stayed at the Prince of Zhenbei's residence for a while. What if she's a spy for the Great Qi..."

A spy from the Great Qi has become the wife of the city lord of Sishui City—this is no small matter!

"Would a spy let you find out all this?"

Yuwen Kun smiled contentedly. He had already found out about the little girl's experiences. That was precisely why he found her all the more interesting.

With someone like that around, I don't think I'll ever be bored.

"The biggest problem is that there is no problem. Spy backgrounds are always clean. This is just a coincidence."

Yuwen Kun thought for a moment and said, "Kill that Yang Xiu."

"But Miss Yang Xiu claims to be Miss Lin's sister-in-law..."

Granny Wu reiterated the importance of their relationship, but Yuwen Kun didn't care at all.

"If we were truly close, why wouldn't this little girl mention me when she sees me? If she's useless, why waste food keeping her around?"

Since Lin Yuesha lived across the street, Yuwen Kun decided to give her a break and let her die a quick death.

Compared to the women who were thrown into the camp, Yang Xiu's fate was much better.

...

Two more days passed in the blink of an eye, and finally the tenth day arrived. Lin Yuesha began to feel anxious.

Yuwen Kun stopped her from playing the zither, chess, calligraphy, and painting, and sent someone to teach her the Manchu language. She hadn't seen Pockmarked Face for two or three days, and wondered if there had been any changes to the previous arrangements.

Around noon, Granny Wu came again.

"Miss Lin, please come with me."

Granny Wu seemed like a different person, her face serious.

"Should we go to the city lord?"

Lin Yuesha asked warily, indicating that she did not want to leave.

"Mr. Yun is waiting for you at the entrance of the secret passage."

Granny Wu looked left and right before speaking softly.

Lin Yuesha was startled, but pretended to be calm. Maybe it was Granny Wu who came to test her. If she showed any abnormality, she would give away her pockmarked face.

"What nonsense!"

Lin Yuesha was very resistant and pretended not to understand what Granny Wu meant.

“Little girl, stop pretending. If Mr. Yun wants to take you away, he can take her with him.”

Granny Wu nodded. Lin Yuesha was indeed clever. No wonder she was able to survive so well after being kidnapped and even gained Yuwen Kun's trust.
