Chapter 385 Heartbreaking

Lin Yuesha was stunned. She carefully examined the wound on Li Ruoshuang's arm and confirmed that it was a vicious dog bite. Finally, she concluded that the woman in front of her was Li Ruoxue and that she was not dead.

After the marriage, Li Ruoxue will inevitably reveal her secret to Bai Dingfeng. So, does the Bai family know the truth or are they kept in the dark?

In any case, this has nothing to do with Lin Yuesha. She can only pretend not to have seen it. If she reveals even a little bit, it might bring about her death.

As Li Ruoshuang said before, her parents were biased. When it came to making a real choice, they made the less popular daughter suffer the death instead, while Li Ruoxue, who had caused a huge disaster, remained carefree and showed no remorse whatsoever. Her behavior was still arrogant and domineering, which was truly terrifying.

I wonder if Li Ruoshuang considered that she would still be the one to suffer a tragic end when she made her choice.

After Li Ruoxue left, Lin Yuesha lingered for a while before returning to the private room.

"Sister Yue Sha, why are you only just getting back?"

After much deliberation, Bai Youran finally settled on a pair of pearl earrings and pointed them out to Lin Yuesha.

"My period has started, and my stomach isn't feeling well."

Lin Yuesha asked the waitress to bring her a cup of brown sugar water and gave a brief explanation.

Bai Youran didn't press further. Lin Yuesha didn't even try to probe about the matter of the two sisters switching places, and remained completely silent.

After leaving the Jade Pavilion, Lin Yuesha asked Qingxing in a secluded spot, "Brother Yun said Li Ruoshuang has gone mad, but isn't she actually dead?"

No wonder that "Li Ruoshuang" would say she was Li Ruoxue when she looked in the mirror; it turns out she couldn't accept her identity.

"Miss, you knew about this?"

The master doesn't care much about the Li family. Qingxing only just received the news and was about to tell her young mistress when her mistress found out first.

"It was just a coincidence."

Lin Yuesha then asked, "Did the Bai family find out that it was Li Ruoxue who was marrying into the family?"

"This servant has no idea."

After thinking about it, Qingxing realized that he was probably aware of the situation. The best way to keep an eye on potential threats was to bring them under her nose.

"At least Bai Youran should be unaware of this."

Lin Yuesha recalled Bai Youran's behavior; the fewer people who knew about this, the better, to prevent leaks. The previous rumors of Li Ruoshuang's madness were probably Li Ruoxue's own doing; the Li family had to find an excuse for her statements.

No longer needing to learn rules at the girls' school, Lin Yuesha was free, but she still strictly disciplined herself according to the routines she had at the girls' school.

In the afternoon, when the light was good, she found a needle and thread and was taught embroidery by Qingxing.

"Qingxing, could you and Qi'er teach me a couple of moves?"

Lin Yuesha was envious of the two people's movements; she genuinely wanted to learn a few moves, even if it meant enduring some hardship.

In critical moments, having a few self-defense techniques can save your life, and given her current situation, they are very necessary.

"Okay, how about tonight then?"

The master didn't say that the young lady couldn't be taught kung fu, so Qingxing agreed almost without thinking and even made a promise with Lin Yuesha to keep it a secret.

Keeping it a secret is good, it's best to keep it from the master. There will come a day when the master is caught off guard and the young lady takes care of him, that's what they want to see.

That's right, Qingxing is always looking for trouble and doesn't mind making things worse.

Lin Yuesha was overjoyed, but when evening came, Qingxing and Qi'er were not there.

Lin Yuesha sensed something was wrong. Just as she reached the door, she found Bai Cha lying on the ground.

"Don't panic, she's just temporarily unconscious."

Yuwen Kun emerged from behind the screen, his blue eyes gleaming with a hint of crimson.

Lin Yuesha had a bad feeling. Based on her meticulous observation, the blue eyes would darken in color whenever they saw blood and became excited. Now that they were darker, they must have seen blood.

Lin Yuesha was horrified when she caught a glimpse of the dark red on the cuff of the blue-eyed man's sleeve.

"You killed someone, so you've come to hide here?"

If the people of Zhenbei Wang find out that the city lord of Sishui City has fled to the territory of Daqi, they will definitely search the entire city.

Lin Yuesha's face fell. She didn't want this guy to hide at home and implicate her as an accomplice.

Treason is punishable by the extermination of nine generations of one's family; Blue Eyes is harming her!

"I didn't kill anyone."

Yuwen Kun was stunned for a moment, then shook his head. He wanted to kill someone and couldn't control his bloodlust, so he wanted to see if coming to Lin Yuesha would suppress this impulse.

Are you sure you're not being chased?

Lin Yuesha's repeated inquiries warmed Yuwen Kun's heart; she was indeed not completely indifferent to him.

"No."

Yuwen Kun denied it again, and said, "Your maid was knocked unconscious by my chop to the neck, and she will wake up in about two hours."

"Qingxing and Qi'er were also knocked unconscious?"

Lin Yuesha's gaze shifted; those two were very powerful, as she had witnessed firsthand.

Yuwen Kun didn't know who Qingxing was or who Qi'er was. He thought for a moment and said, "There are four maids in total, and they've all fainted."

Alright, I'm not going to struggle anymore. Lin Yuesha gave up. The outside helpers have all been knocked out, so it's better to be sensible.

After Blue Eyes arrived, he ate and drank, and then drank wine under the moon. Lin Yuesha served him from the side, wondering if this guy had simply come to admire the moon, or if she had misunderstood something.

However, there was a bloody smell on the blue-eyed person. She sniffed it and found that the bloody smell was mixed with the smell of alcohol. Lin Yuesha was not sure if it was human blood.

"Lord City Lord, you smell of blood. Are you injured?"

Lin Yuesha couldn't help but fawn over him; she really couldn't afford to offend Blue Eyes.

"No."

Yuwen Kun glanced at the bloodstains on his sleeve through Lin Yuesha's gaze, his eyes flashing.

He wouldn't say where the blood came from.

Not being chased, not killing anyone, and not getting injured, Lin Yuesha felt relieved and focused on pouring wine for Blue Eyes. After eating and drinking her fill, she quickly made her way out.

The two of them, one pouring the wine and the other drinking it, got along exceptionally well.

The next morning, before dawn, before Lin Yuesha had even gotten up, she heard Liu Quan's wife roar from the front kitchen, "You damned bastard, who slaughtered all the old hens?"

More than a dozen hens, lively and laying eggs every day, all died overnight.

Lin Yuesha got up and went to the main kitchen to see. All her precious chickens had their heads chopped off, and chicken blood was splattered all over the floor. The method was cruel.

"Who did this?"

Liu Quan's wife was heartbroken. Raising chickens is never very clean, and she had taken care of these old hens all by herself, cleaning them carefully every day just to get them to lay eggs. Now they're all gone. Even a weasel wouldn't be this ruthless; she wiped out the whole flock!

Lin Yuesha: ...

Yes, Blue Eyes said he didn't kill anyone or get hurt. Yesterday, Lin Yuesha smelled something strange about the blood on him. It turned out that all of her chickens had been killed!

Good heavens, what did our old hens do to offend that plague god? They were all killed the moment they didn't like the look of them, and without even a word. It's hot now, and they've gone bad after waiting all night. We can't eat a single one.

Lin Yuesha felt sorry for the hen, then for the eggs she couldn't eat, and finally for not being able to eat the chicken meat at all. She covered her chest with her hand, heartbroken. "That scumbag Blue Eyes! He just wasted the ingredients like that. The chicken meat is so delicious!"
