Chapter 700 Qi Weilan

Xiao Qi thought to himself that he had countless opportunities to confess, yet he had squandered them all; it was fate.

"Oh, I see. You scared me."

Lin Yuesha wiped her sweat with a handkerchief. Talking to the others was exhausting, and all she wanted to do was go back to the kitchen.

As soon as Lin Yuesha left, Xu Da couldn't hold back any longer and pointed at the Prince of Luo, laughing so hard he couldn't stand up straight.

“Young Master Luo, since you have so much confidence in me, I will certainly live up to your expectations. Why don’t you do as my cousin said and include me? Let’s live together.”

Xu Da jumped around frantically, while only the Prince of Luo didn't understand Lin Yuesha's meaning and thought he had gotten the better deal.

"Get out of here!"

The Prince of Luo was very annoyed. Who knew that the maid had such a wild imagination and had tricked him too.

"No, you're too old."

Xiao Qi looked at the two of them with disdain. They were always together, so it was no wonder that people were spreading rumors about them being gay. The two of them never reflected on why the rumors came about, and always blamed others for being blind. They had become a big problem because they couldn't find wives.

"Qi Heng, is that how you talk to your uncle?"

Xiao Chengyu slammed down his folding fan, his face flushed as he retorted, "Go and ask around in the capital. I'm the dream girl of every young lady in her boudoir. Miss Qin and Miss Pang have been following me for years..."

"Just an ordinary woman."

Qi Heng glanced at the Prince of Luo, thinking, "Don't call it the dream of a young lady in her boudoir, it should be the dream of an ordinary woman."

Luo Wang opened his mouth, but what was clearly his personal charm turned into something negative in Qi Heng's mouth, instantly lowering his entire image.

"What personal charm do you have? It's just the charm of your status. If you were a beggar, you could only rely on your looks to become a live-in son-in-law."

Perhaps there is another place, Wenjun Tower.

King Luo: ...

This was the greatest insult he had suffered in over twenty years, bar none.

"Lord Xu, you..."

Unable to persuade Qi Heng, the Prince of Luo decided to recruit Xu Da into his group, making it two against one.

"Actually, what your nephew said makes a lot of sense."

Those who understand the times are wise; Xu Da voluntarily switched sides. Compared to the wicked intentions of the Prince of Luo, Qi Heng was far more ruthless.

Qi Heng infiltrated the underworld using a pockmarked face to attract Lin Yuesha's attention, and his swindling and deception to this point is no easy feat. If there is any charisma to be found, it is Qi Heng.

After all, his pockmarked face was already unsightly, yet he still managed to win the heart of a beauty in the end...

"Don't get too excited yet, we still don't know what's going on."

The Prince of Luo stood up angrily and beckoned to Xu Da with his finger. He couldn't touch Qi Heng, but he was right to trick Xu Da!

It was already the ninth month of the lunar calendar, but the capital city was still lush with green trees, and Lin Yuesha took a walk along the way.

At the last flower-viewing banquet at the Prince's Mansion, Lin Yuesha was inexperienced and came and went in a hurry. Now, her mood is different, and she is more relaxed. The scenery of the villa is even more alluring.

With its artificial hills, flowing water, lakes, and bamboo groves, it covered a larger area than modern parks and was an enjoyment only royalty and nobility could afford.

As Lin Yuesha walked, she pondered. It turned out that Luo Wang was among the rebels, and he was in cahoots with the pockmarked man. They seemed to be getting along well now, but she wondered if they would turn against each other for the position after the deed was done.

“Miss, there are people in the bamboo forest ahead, a man and a woman. Judging from the hem of the woman’s dress, she should be Miss Wei.”

Bai Cha advised that since Wei Lan was having a secret rendezvous with a man, it would be best for her and her servant to take a detour.

"good."

Lin Yuesha could have gone to the main kitchen from the outside, but before she could turn around, she was intercepted by Xu Da, who had caught up from behind.

"Cousin, cousin, let's go together!"

Xu Da hadn't eaten breakfast and was now heading to the main kitchen to find something to eat. Seeing that Lin Yuesha seemed a little confused about what had just happened, he offered to explain, "Cousin, are you surprised that Young Master Luo was willing to join in..."

Xu Da only learned about these things recently, definitely not much earlier than Lin Yuesha.

"They're actually uncle and nephew. If this goes through, who will get the position?"

Putting aside the dangers involved, the Prince of Luo is a member of the Xiao family, and there's no reason for the Xiao family to hand over their vast empire so easily.

"Actually, Prince Luo is not a member of the Xiao family."

He shouldn't have said these things, but Xu Da was worried that Lin Yuesha would overthink things. He could bear the consequences of betraying Prince Luo, so he spoke frankly, "Because the old prince has some health problems, Young Master Luo and Prince Ping were both adopted back then."

In fact, the two were related by blood to the Qi family, which is why the Prince of Luo wholeheartedly helped Qi Heng.

As for that position, Qi Heng didn't want to sit there either; instead, everyone unanimously abandoned their responsibilities and pushed him into it.

"This is something you and I both know..."

Before Xu Da could finish speaking, Lin Yuesha gestured for him to stop. She knew what was important and wouldn't utter a single word even if it was her most trusted maid.

The two avoided talking about the white tea and unknowingly entered the bamboo forest, just in time to catch Bai Dingfeng and Wei Lan, who were having a secret rendezvous, in the middle.

"Oh my, isn't this Young Master Bai and Miss Wei? Aren't you two in such a hurry?"

Xu Da clapped his hands and said nonchalantly.

"Nonsense!"

Wei Lan rebuked him angrily, her face flushed red. She covered her face with her hands but ignored the lipstick mark she had left on Bai Dingfeng's face.

Bai Dingfeng's face was full of sweat, which showed that the battle had just taken place fiercely.

"Lord Xu, Miss Lin."

Bai Dingfeng calmly took out a handkerchief to wipe his face, his expression composed, as if he hadn't just been intimate with someone there.

Moreover, Bai Dingfeng addressed Lin Yuesha in a very formal yet polite manner, at least in front of Wei Lan, leaving no room for criticism.

"We need to prepare for tomorrow's banquet in advance, otherwise we won't have enough time. I won't bother you any longer."

Lin Yuesha tugged at Xu Da's sleeve, trying to get him to say less.

"Miss Wei, why did you get engaged to Young Master Bai instead of waiting for my mother to come and propose marriage?"

Xu Da looked down on Bai Dingfeng, who was clearly a kept man but made up many excuses. He was a model of hypocrisy. Wei Lan was even worse, a brainless idiot.

Last time at Wenjun Tower, Wei Lan called Lin Yuesha a country bumpkin. Xu Da retorted at the time, but he always held grudges, and whenever he saw Wei Lan, he couldn't help but say a few sarcastic remarks to her.

"You homosexual! Who wants to be engaged to you!"

Fearing that Bai Dingfeng would misunderstand, Wei Lan took a step back and cried out loudly.

"Therefore, I am deeply saddened by this, and in a few days I will travel far to the Northwest, leaving this sorrowful capital!"

Xu Da wiped his face with a handkerchief and sighed softly.

Lin Yuesha watched in disbelief. Her cousin, who had always been quite normal, was now acting like a drama queen. Had he caught her act? This was bad!

"Nonsense! I wouldn't even look at a gay man like you!"

If it weren't for the fact that she had someone she loved, Wei Lan would have jumped up and down cursing Xu Da for proposing marriage, saying it would ruin her reputation.

"Therefore, I left heartbroken. But Miss Wei, I am a devoted man. If you are divorced because of your bad temper or inability to bear a son when I return to the capital, then you may reconsider me!"

After saying this in a sarcastic tone, Xu Da left with Lin Yuesha.
