Chapter 838 Confirmation

Only Yuwen Kun and Li Ruoshuang remained in the room.

Yuwen Kun sat up straight and asked, "As you see, has Lin Yuesha shown any unusual behavior?"

It is said that the disguise techniques of foreign races are so sophisticated that it is difficult to distinguish the real from the fake, and only close relatives can discern the truth from their appearance.

On the day Lin Yuesha was sent by Helian Cheng, her behavior was somewhat strange, which made Yuwen Kun suspicious. Moreover, Helian Cheng was not so kind as to take the initiative to do such a big favor by capturing Lin Yuesha.

In the past two days, that strange feeling has disappeared, and things have gradually returned to normal.

"My lord, you are probably overthinking it."

Li Ruoshuang wanted to spit out her anger. Lin Yuesha was still that cunning and treacherous little person, as annoying as ever.

She was almost certain that the person in front of her was Lin Yuesha, and it was impossible for her to be in disguise.

"Da Qi is blocking the news. Our people have only found out that Lin Yuesha's maid, Bai Cha, has been going in and out alone recently. However, this may be a decoy and a trap set by Da Qi."

Yuwen Kun asked, "How did you determine that? What are your reasons?"

"this……"

Li Ruoshuang considered for a moment before saying, "When Lin Yuesha and I were at the girls' school, the matron who taught us manners, Granny Fang, had a unique skill. She had a recipe that, once consumed, would make one's figure more curvaceous..."

After the girls' school was disbanded, Granny Fang became Lin Yuesha's governess.

A few months ago, Lin Yuesha was still a naive young girl, but she has changed significantly in just a few months, which shows that she has been treated by Granny Fang.

"Since you are so suspicious, I would like to go and verify it."

Rather than letting Yuwen Kun's mind be on Lin Yuesha, it's better to take the initiative and directly resolve his doubts.

Li Ruoshuang offered to help Lin Yuesha wash up, revealing a large tattoo on her chest that was impossible to conceal.

"good."

Yuwen Kun made the decision, explaining that he had been unable to concentrate for the past two days, which had affected his progress.

His curiosity about the woman distracted him, and Yuwen Kun realized the danger.

The Bai family is waiting for his news in Sishui City. On this trip, he also needs to send someone to deal with Bai Youran, the traitor of the Bai family, and clean up Bai Dingfeng's mess.

“My lord, the jewelry that Helian Cheng gave to Lin Yuesha is exquisite, and it doesn’t look like the style of a foreign race.”

When Li Ruoshuang mentioned jewelry, she was deeply attracted at just one glance.

However, since Helian Cheng specifically requested that the gift be given to Lin Yuesha, Yuwen Kun could not bestow any other reward upon her.

“Those are jewelry pieces from the underground palace in the northwest of the Great Qi Dynasty. Helian Cheng is merely using them as a pretext.”

It originally belonged to the Great Qi, so of course Helian Cheng, that thief, was generous and gave it away without a second thought.

"If you like, once I find the treasure trove in Helian City, you can choose any of the jewelry and ornaments there."

She's a daughter of the Li family, not some humble household. It's just a few pieces of jewelry. Why should Li Ruoshuang pretend to be so naive?

"Thank you for the reward, my lord."

Yuwen Kun wasn't completely indifferent to her; at least he was willing to fulfill her wishes. Li Ruoshuang closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and felt extremely content. She reminded herself not to let jealousy blind her; what she wanted was to stand beside Yuwen Kun, even if it was just to watch from afar.

Therefore, Li Ruoshuang needed to ensure that she remained useful to him and became his right-hand woman, so that she wouldn't be easily discarded.

...

In the twelfth lunar month, water freezes instantly in Jinyuguan, and the cold wind is biting.

Lin Yuesha sat on the heated kang, her thoughts in turmoil. She was trying to find a way to inform Qi Heng that they absolutely had to create a cloud to handle the aftermath.

Yuwen Kun's paranoia means that although he may appear silent, he is likely still harboring resentment and keeping the matter in mind.

Recently, apart from Yuwen Kun and Helian Cheng himself, who can freely enter and leave Helian City, there is strict control over both inside and outside the mansion. Not even a bird can fly out. If Yun Duo disappears into thin air, it will be difficult to explain. If Yuwen Kun really investigates, it will expose Yun Zhao Pavilion.

Thinking of this, Lin Yuesha stood up and prepared to go to the main kitchen.

"Lin Yuesha, I've brought you hot water."

The door was pushed open, and Li Ruoshuang pushed a small cart with a bathtub full of water on it.

The foreigners washed themselves on a small cart, and then pushed the cart out to release the water, which was very convenient.

Lin Yuesha hadn't washed up yet when she arrived at Helian Cheng's residence, and she was somewhat tempted when she saw the hot water.

Unlike Daqi, Jinyuguan suffers from water scarcity, so the people never waste water. They reuse water for washing clothes and watering vegetable gardens.

Thanks.

Lin Yuesha used a screen as a barrier and boldly took off her clothes to enter the bathtub.

The water was slightly warm, just right for her. Immersing herself in the hot water, every pore of her body opened up and was soothed by the warm water. Lin Yuesha sighed comfortably.

In the winter, with snow and ice outside, Lin Yuesha felt much more relaxed taking a bath in the warm room, her tension lessened and her body and mind becoming exceptionally at ease.

Through the shadow of the screen, Lin Yuesha saw Li Ruoshuang standing nearby, probably trying to spy on her.

"Li Ruoshuang, come in and help me rub my back."

Lin Yuesha greeted Li Ruoshuang, saying, "We're both women, and you're my maid, so what's there to be embarrassed about?"

If you want to see the rosebud on her chest, look boldly, there's no need to be sneaky.

"The Lord suspects you are an imposter."

Li Ruoshuang strolled slowly behind the screen, crossed her arms, and looked down at him, saying, "If I said no, the imposter would be very careful. How could you be so arrogant?"

Lin Yuesha rolled her eyes. It seemed she was right. Despite her obvious suspicions, Yuwen Kun, driven by his paranoia, still remained doubtful.

This person is interesting. After suspecting something, he doesn't immediately confirm it, but rather proceeds gradually, step by step.

Yuwen Kun was not in a hurry to know the answer, but instead repeatedly verified it, enjoying the fun it brought.

"Lin Yuesha, you were captured and brought to Helian Cheng's mansion, aren't you afraid at all? Could you have an accomplice here?"

In the girls' school, Lin Yuesha's scheming was deeply ingrained in everyone's minds. Li Ruoshuang always felt that something was amiss and suspected that Lin Yuesha was up to no good.

"With an inside accomplice, why shouldn't I leave immediately instead of staying here to be humiliated?"

Lin Yuesha lowered her head and played in the water, saying helplessly, "If you had been kidnapped multiple times like me, you would be calmer than me."

"Li Ruoshuang, how about we cooperate? Will you let me go?"

Lin Yuesha suddenly stood up from the bathtub, splashing water all over Li Ruoshuang.

"cooperate?"

Li Ruoshuang took a few steps back, wiped her face with a handkerchief, and pondered this possibility.

Although she was very humble to Yuwen Kun, a voice in her heart told her that if Lin Yuesha were not by Yuwen Kun's side, she would have many more opportunities.

Suppressing her thoughts, Li Ruoshuang forced herself to remain calm and asked, "What kind of cooperation are you talking about?"

"It's simple, just let me go back to Daqi."

After Lin Yuesha returns to Daqi, she won't be captured by Yuwen Kun again. Her absence from Yuwen Kun's sight is advantageous to Li Ruoshuang.
