Chapter 731 Timing

We shouldn't let them off easily; instead, we should give them a small punishment as a warning and cut off one of their little fingers.

"If you want to go all out, you can try it. But it won't just be a matter of your little finger; it'll be like chopping off your hand."

After Qingxing finished speaking, she picked up Dahuangya's hand, twisted it in an arc, and with a crack, Dahuangya, who was unconscious, immediately screamed in agony as his wrist broke.

Several thugs begged and pleaded, kneeling and kowtowing, but ultimately they couldn't escape Qingxing's punishment.

After quickly dealing with the thugs, Qingxing noticed that the remaining group of martial arts experts were still following behind them.

There is no apparent malice at present, but it is definitely not to protect Lin Yuesha; rather, it is surveillance.

"Let's go back to the inn first."

Lin Yuesha came out of the alley and called out to the dazed Bai Cha, "Bai Cha, are you coming or not?"

"Miss."

Bai Cha looked down at the blood-stained handkerchief in her hand, recovering from her recent emotional outburst. Her heart pounded with unease. "Miss, do you think I…?"

She didn't know her own strength, and her mind had gone blank just now; she only wanted to stab him, and her body was out of control.

"Don't take it personally, I think you did a very sensible thing."

Even if Bai Cha doesn't make a move, Lin Yuesha still has to teach these thugs a lesson. If she doesn't teach them a lesson and lets them get away with it every time, they'll only become more arrogant.

The petty thugs were first-time offenders, each receiving a little finger, but Big Yellow Teeth, as the leader, was punished even more severely; not killing him was considered lenient.

"Miss, did I do the right thing?"

Bai Cha was still uneasy, worried that her mistress might be distant from her.

"right."

Lin Yuesha said decisively, "You should protect yourself first. You're just too tolerant. I've wanted to tell you that for a long time."

Just like last time when she was beaten by Wei Lan and the maid, Bai Cha didn't fight back and silently endured it. That's what really makes Lin Yuesha lose face.

"You are my maid, I will take care of everything, what is there to be afraid of? If you kill Wei Lan, your young lady will find a way to dig a hole and bury her, it is not something you need to worry about."

No matter whose face it is for, you must not suffer any injustice. This is Lin Yuesha's requirement for her maids.

"Miss, I am truly blessed to have such a good mistress as you."

Bai Cha sniffed and said, deeply moved.

Lin Yuesha opened her mouth, but didn't know what to say.

Wei Lan hit Bai Cha because of her; Bai Cha took the blame for her. The girl didn't complain at all; on the contrary, she was moved by what Wei Lan did.

"I am your maid, so it is only right that I take the blame for you. Besides, you are so good to me. You have never beaten or scolded me. You even take the initiative to cook delicious food. There is no master like you. You can't find one like this even with a lantern."

Bai Cha looked completely satisfied; her young lady was wonderful in every way imaginable.

Lin Yuesha remained noncommittal. The modern era and the Great Qi Dynasty were in different times and spaces, and this ideological gap was something that could never be bridged.

Back at the inn, Bai Youran was there too. After Lin Yuesha told her about her ordeal, Bai Youran was furious. She couldn't sit still and went straight to the Wei family's mansion to complain to Bai Dingfeng.

"Big brother, what is Wei Lan up to?"

Bai Youran angrily accused, "We're all heading to the Northwest together. Lin Yuesha was chosen by all the young ladies. Wei Lan deliberately provoked us and caused trouble. If something happens and it delays everyone's trip, can you just say you won't care?"

If this matter were to escalate to the capital, the Lin family would surely come to their aid and demand an explanation.

"Yes, the Wei family is powerful and influential, but what about the Bai family?"

Lord Lin can't cause trouble for the Wei family, so he's just going to let it go like this? Surely not.

"Lin Yue'e and Wei Yang are engaged, and the Lin family is hoping that Lin Yuesha will marry into a higher social class. Wei Lan sent someone to ruin Lin Yuesha's reputation. Will the Lin family just sit idly by?"

Bai Youran launched into a barrage of questions, "Little sister wasn't acting in Lin Yuesha's best interest. Think about it carefully."

After saying that, Bai Youran left without looking back.

At dinner, Wei Lan instructed the chef to prepare a large table of northern dishes, and then she hugged Bai Dingfeng's waist and acted coquettishly.

Having finally managed to rest for a few days in Cangzhou, Bai Youran left the tiring work to her, wanting to enjoy some quality time with her husband.

Although the carriage was exciting, she was a new bride and felt a little restrained. But without any outsiders to bother her, Wei Lan was much more at ease.

"The table is full of northern specialties, does my husband like them?"

These past few days, Bai Dingfeng has been eating very little. Every time Wei Lan smells the aroma of Lin Yuesha cooking, she feels no taste in anything she eats.

"like."

Bai Dingfeng was furious and decided to eat his fill before lecturing Wei Lan, but Wei Lan wouldn't let him off the hook and asked, "Isn't the chef I hired better than Lin Yuesha?"

"The thugs Lin Yuesha encountered, were they hired by you?"

Bai Dingfeng slammed down his chopsticks and stared directly at Wei Landao.

"What...what little hooligan?"

Wei Lan's eyes darted away, but she denied it, saying, "Husband, I don't know what you're talking about."

"Really? Lin Yuesha killed all those hooligans."

Bai Dingfeng curled his lips into a sarcastic smile.

Wei Lan doesn't lie; she doesn't have the brains for it. Her expression has already betrayed her.

"What? They're all dead?"

Upon receiving this news out of the blue, Wei Lan immediately stood up and said, "How could that be? They also have some martial arts skills!"

Bai Dingfeng remained silent, and Wei Lan then realized that she had given herself away.

"Husband, look at my face, it's still swollen. Lin Yuesha was ruthless, I only spent money to hire a few hooligans, I've already been merciful enough."

Wei Lan was furious. Bai Dingfeng had promised to teach Lin Yuesha a lesson, but he had been deceiving her. Whenever she asked, he would just say that the time wasn't right. When would the time be right? If there wasn't a time, she would find one. In short, she couldn't suffer such humiliation for no reason.

"Stupid as a pig!" Bai Dingfeng wanted to curse, but he restrained himself and asked, "Before you came out, didn't your mother tell you anything?"

"I have made my promise. I will obey my husband in everything. I will follow my husband's wishes after marriage. He will make all the decisions."

Wei Lan blushed, so she agreed to Bai Dingfeng's requests to make love in the carriage these past few days, even though she was shy.

"Then why did you act on your own initiative?"

When Bai Dingfeng closed his eyes, sometimes looking at Wei Lan, he would think of Li Ruoxue.

"This wasn't my decision to do it on my own, I don't understand why I have to wait for an opportunity to deal with Lin Yuesha."

Wei Lan boldly asked a question, suspecting that Bai Dingfeng had feelings for Lin Yuesha, which was why he was protecting her at every turn.

"Then I'll just say it directly."

If he doesn't explain the truth, Wei Lan will only become more aggressive. Since he's already on his way, there's no need for him to hide anything.

"Before Luo Wang and Xu Da's group left, Lin Yuesha did a lot for them."

The package contained food and a garment that was warmer than a cotton coat.

"So what? She and that disgusting Xu Da have always been in cahoots!"

Mentioning Xu Da made Wei Lan even angrier. Every time they met, that scoundrel would threaten to marry her, just to ruin her reputation and take advantage of her.
