Chapter 588 Sophistry

Lin Yuesha wasn't shameless enough to always be tricking people, but since things had happened, she had to prepare for the worst and couldn't always be forced into a chaotic situation.

Bai Cha's choice of the pockmarked man made Lin Yuesha a little hesitant, because the two maids didn't know his true identity. This enigmatic man, after spending so much time with her, she had only seen his outward appearance.

"How about we go all out and kill Young Master Wei in one fell swoop?"

Longjing clenched his fist. With the root of the trouble uprooted, his young mistress would be rescued, and the problem would be solved at its root.

She said these words without any guilt. Besides, the young master of the Wei family was no good either. Ever since he became paralyzed, straw mats were often carried out from the back of the Wei family mansion.

"No."

It's not that I have any pity for the young master of the Wei family. This person still needs to live. Otherwise, the Wei family will not consider letting the Lin family girl get married, but will instead arrange a ghost marriage, which would be even more difficult to control.

Lin Yuesha pondered for a moment. She still needed to respond proactively. As Bai Cha had said, the pockmarked face was a good candidate.

She had just been flirting with him not long ago, and now she's proposing marriage? Won't that be misunderstood?

That night, Lin Yuesha tossed and turned, unable to sleep.

The next morning, after breakfast, Qin Nanyan came with her maid to call her to the kitchen. Seeing Lin Yuesha's haggard face and dark circles under her eyes, she said disdainfully, "What's wrong? We asked you to stay overnight at the Qin residence, and you're too scared to sleep?"

"Um."

Lin Yuesha looked dejected. She wanted to sleep a little longer, but there wasn't enough time, so she had to force herself to make some snacks.

"A petty mind."

Qin Nanyan felt it necessary to clarify that, as a daughter of a high-ranking family in the capital, she looked down on country bumpkins and hated their foolish way of getting all excited at the sight of a little money. However, after getting to know Lin Yuesha, she found that Lin Yuesha had some brains, so she wasn't so averse to her anymore.

"Alright, it's my fault. I'll give you two extra snacks today."

There are some things we still need to ask Qin Nanyan about. We can't lose contact with her right now. If the Qin family returns to discuss things, Qin Nanyan might be able to get the latest news.

At the end of Chen Shi (7-9 AM), the invited young ladies arrived at the Qin residence by carriage, among them was Miss Pang, who had met Lin Yuesha once before.

"Sister Qin, do you really have donuts?"

Pangpang doesn't like gatherings, but it's a different story if there's good food involved.

"Yes. The head chef of the Prince's Palace's flower viewing banquet personally prepared the dishes. My sister spent a lot of money to hire someone."

Qin Nanyan invited everyone to sit down, and soon after, the gatekeeper of the Qin family came to report that Qin Shi had taken Lin Yue'e and her brother back to her parents' home.

"Miss, Miss is on her way. She doesn't look too happy when she learned that you didn't invite her."

Qin Nanyan's maid, Yuli, asked in a low voice, "Would you like to invite Miss Biao over?"

"Hmph, my aunt has always treated the Qin family like her own backyard. Even if I didn't invite Lin Yue'e, she would still come, after all, she has a thick skin."

Qin Nanyan felt resentful. This was her territory, yet Lin Yue'e still managed to appease her grandmother, coming and going as she pleased.

Sure enough, a moment later, Lin Yue'e slowly approached carrying a small box.

“Cousin, this is a new piece of jewelry crafted by artisans at the Cuiyuxuan Artisan Studio in the capital. May I attend your tea party as a gift?”

Lin Yue'e smiled, pretending that nothing had happened.

"You're already here, why are you still asking me?"

Qin Nanyan kept a cold face. No matter how strained the relationship between the cousins ​​was, they couldn't let outsiders see it and make them a laughing stock. Lin Yue'e had come to her courtyard; it wouldn't be right to kick her out.

The Qin residence was very large, and the young ladies enjoyed tea and chatted. Lin Yuesha made a lot of Western-style pastries, such as croissants, cream puffs, as well as delicious lava cookies, donuts, and taro rolls, which everyone enjoyed.

Qin Nanyan was very good at interpersonal relationships. After everyone left, she packed a food box and gave it to each person as a gift.

The tea party lasted all day, and before we knew it, it was time for dinner.

The room was dimly lit. Yu Li lit an oil lamp and, following Qin Nanyan's habit, lit incense. Then, she and Lin Yue'e's maid, Pipa, left the room.

"Cousin, you always have a sullen face and are cold to your younger sister. Is it because of the flower viewing banquet at the Prince's Mansion?"

Lin Yue'e twisted her handkerchief, her face showing great grievance.

Now that the main point is here, Qin Nanyan perked up and deliberately said, "You know it, that's good. My mother and I stayed behind and were resented by the Zhuang family. I became an ungrateful wretch who watched someone die without helping them. But you, on the other hand, we are cousins, and you haven't said a single word for me from beginning to end!"

Qin Nanyan recalled the days she had been scolded and confined to her home, and how even her mother, Zhou Shi, had been implicated because of her. Her face couldn't possibly look any better.

Lin Yue'e is adept at using sweet talk to coax people; let's see what she has to say!

“Cousin, it’s not that I haven’t come to explain lately, but you know that Lin Yuesha has caused a lot of trouble and tripped me up since Father brought her into the manor.”

Lin Yue'e sat down, looking at the pastries on the table with a complicated expression. To put it bluntly, all the young ladies in the capital were gluttonous; Lin Yuesha could easily win them over with a few simple dishes. But Qin Nanyan had to be on her side; the relationship couldn't be ruined.

"What does our matter have to do with Lin Yuesha?"

Qin Nanyan stared at Lin Yue'e, thinking, "Isn't she a silver-tongued woman? Quickly come up with a plausible reason."

"this……"

Lin Yue'e wanted to complain to Qin Nanyan about how stifled she felt in the mansion, but seeing Qin Nanyan's attitude, she couldn't continue. It seemed that the misunderstanding between the two sisters had to be resolved quickly.

"You're doing this for your own good, little sister."

First of all, Qin Nanyan accidentally dropped the purse, so it was discovered. It's not her fault; she's innocent.

"That day, I saw Young Master Yu's shadow. He was holding a dagger and pressing it against Madam Fang's neck."

The windowsill was covered by a gauze curtain, making it difficult for the perpetrator to see clearly; this was one reason.

"Then why didn't you tell your aunt or me?"

Qin Nanyan sneered inwardly. It seemed that Lin Yuesha had guessed correctly. She guessed that Lin Yue'e had been keeping a low profile these past few days, waiting for things to calm down, and also thinking of her excuse.

After thinking for more than half a month, Lin Yue'e finally found a solution. If she hadn't been prepared, she would have been fooled.

"Why are you saying you're doing this for my sake?"

Qin Nanyan wanted to hear Lin Yue'e's so-called reasons for concealing the truth. If she had seen Fang Shi being threatened, she would have definitely called for help. Is a human life worth ignoring?

"I don't need to tell you what the flower viewing banquet at the Prince's Mansion is about, do I, cousin? You're after Young Master Luo and want to show off in front of the old Princess. If I startle you and cause trouble again, your good thing will be ruined."

Lin Yue'e implied in her words that she had made her decision after careful consideration, with Qin Nanyan's sake in mind.

Besides, if she saw the knife, what if it was just a joke or something else? Wouldn't it be a false alarm? Lin Yue'e really didn't expect anyone to be so bold in the Prince's villa.
