Chapter 860 The Man Who Tried to Steal My Partner Has Arrived

The coffin lid was stolen, and his treasures vanished. Fortunately, the wine he had hidden in the tunnel was still intact and untouched. Helian Cheng was anxious and frustrated, feeling incredibly aggrieved.

If he hadn't schemed against Yuwen Kun, and had strengthened his defenses, he wouldn't have been able to exploit the loophole.

What's even more frustrating is that Helian Cheng doesn't know who got the free lunch.

That night, several groups of people came one after another, robbing property, burning down the mansion, and, more importantly, rescuing Xu Da.

Nothing has changed in the mansion, and all the servants are still there. So who is the traitor, and how did Qi Heng manage to do it?

Helian Cheng still doesn't understand, but he suspects Aunt Jing.

"My lord, Hanlu suspects Aunt Jing's son. Why did he suddenly fall ill?"

The strong man Jing Er suddenly fell ill and was unable to send messages. He stayed at home every day, which gave him the opportunity to tip people off.

Furthermore, they plotted against Yuwen Kun, clearly intending for Miaoyin to do it, but Aunt Jing took it upon herself to include Miaoyin in the plot as well.

"What's the commotion from Yuwen Kun?"

Helian Cheng was furious; blisters had formed around his mouth, making it painful to even smile.

He suppressed his anger. With so many things going wrong, he couldn't explain himself to the leader. Now, he could only appease Yuwen Kun and consolidate the cooperation between the two sides to make amends.

"Lord Yuwen probably already knows."

Hanlu was quite depressed. It seemed that Yuwen Kun was not interested in matters between men and women, and things were not going as he had expected.

Instead of eliminating Li Ruoshuang, Yuwen Kun killed Yun Luo, who had ambitions to climb into Li Ruoshuang's bedchamber.

"You know we've taken Fish and Water Delight?"

Helian Cheng sighed. As long as he denied it, Yuwen Kun would have no evidence.

The most important thing right now is to keep Miaoyin's identity hidden, so for the past two days, Miaoyin has been staying by Yuwen Kun's side, and Helian Cheng has not dared to summon Miaoyin to discuss matters.

The underground passages in the mansion have been mostly explored by intruders and are no longer a secret.

"Hanlu found this in Miaoyin's room."

Hanlu had already finished reading it, and he wanted to know what happened next, so he could only present the manuscript to Helian Cheng, who became fascinated by it. Afterwards, the two of them worked together to urge Miaoyin to finish reading it.

"Journey to the West, is this a martial arts manual?"

Helian Cheng glanced at it and felt it didn't quite look like it.

"I never imagined that Miaoyin possessed such talent, captivating Hanlu. My lord, please rest assured and recover. Hanlu will keep you entertained."

Hanlu, following Lin Yuesha's manuscript, added her own words and descriptions to tell Helian Cheng the story.

It's okay if they've finished talking; they can ask Miaoyin for it!

Lin Yuesha left herself a hole, she no longer cared, and planned to go back to Wucheng to fulfill her promise; breaking a promise was not her style.

On the 24th day of the twelfth lunar month, with the Lunar New Year's Eve fast approaching, the border region began to feel the festive atmosphere.

Although the border had been occupied by foreign tribes not long ago, the people had been resisting tenaciously and were determined not to become slaves of a conquered nation.

When there is a recent death in the family, it is not customary to hold a grand celebration. However, people believe that only by having a lively and festive New Year can they look forward to a better year ahead.

At the hour of Chen (7-9 AM), Qi Heng came to pick up Lin Yuesha.

"I have already sent someone to Qincheng to bring Jiang Baozhu to the border for the New Year."

Jiang Baozhu's injuries have improved, and Qi Heng made arrangements early on, estimating that she would arrive in the next couple of days.

"Sister Baozhu, are you coming to spend the New Year with me?"

Lin Yuesha was very excited. She would have to prepare a lot of delicious food. Before, Jiang Baozhu was unable to move and could only eat light food. It would be a good opportunity to nourish her during the New Year.

"Qingxing and Qi'er came back together too."

Qi Heng was infected by Lin Yuesha's joy and said with a smile, "You'll probably have to prepare more food."

"No problem!"

Lin Yuesha is skilled in cooking, and festivals are always her time to show off her skills.

It seems I need to go to the market in advance to buy chicken, duck, fish, and meat, especially fish, which must be prepared ahead of time.

In the Northwest, Lin Yuesha no longer expects to buy live fish; given the limited resources, having relatively fresh frozen fish is already quite good.

"Let's go, I'll take you to the market."

Qi Heng boarded the carriage first, then reached out and pulled Lin Yuesha up with him.

Bai Cha stood there watching enviously. She wouldn't interfere in the young lady and her son-in-law's private time.

Actually, Bai Cha really wanted to go to the market.

During the days that Miss disappeared, she couldn't sleep peacefully day and night. She couldn't get any news and was terrified by the rumors. Finally, when Lin Yuesha returned, Bai Cha had the idea of ​​going shopping.

"White Tea, where's Sister Moon Satin?"

Ziyuan learned that Lin Yuesha had returned and that he hadn't disturbed her the night before. He got up early to come over, but his carriage broke down on the road.

Every time he tries to see Lin Yuesha, there are always many obstacles on the way. Either the carriage breaks down or he misses the meeting due to an accident. Ziyuan suspects that in his past life, he and Lin Yuesha were like the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl, only able to meet once a year.

"Miss and son-in-law went to the market."

Bai Cha looked at Zi Yuan warily. This person was too beautiful. Anyone standing next to him would look like a maid, not matching the aura of a young lady.

She's so beautiful, she's almost otherworldly.

"They left again?"

Ziyuan was not surprised at all; he would stay here, not believing that Lin Yuesha and Qi Heng would not return.

"How about we go to the market to look for them?"

Qi Lu noticed Bai Cha's desire to go and offered to go.

"I'm not going."

Ziyuan sat in the courtyard. He shouldn't keep changing places; he needed to learn to remain still and wait for the right opportunity.

They remained holed up in their hideout, unwilling to believe that Qi Heng and Lin Yuesha wouldn't return.

The market is crowded, so it's not easy to find someone. Besides, with his appearance, there's a chance of a stampede if he appears at the market.

It's the Lunar New Year, so I don't want to cause trouble for others.

"Alright, take the white tea with you. If you see Lin, let her know. I'll be waiting for him. I have something to say to her."

Qi Heng is a despicable person. If he hadn't caused trouble, it would be Zi Yuan who is engaged to Lin Yuesha right now.

Ziyuan waved her hand, chasing away Qilu and Baicha.

The border of Daqi has more people than Jinyu Pass. During festivals, the market is packed with people, making it difficult to even turn around.

Lin Yuesha learned from her failure and this time she brought enough money to buy New Year's goods.

"Since we're in the Northwest, let's prepare the New Year's Eve dinner according to the Northwest's specialties."

Lin Yuesha casually suggested a few dishes, piecing together a table full of food. She had thought of several main dishes for the soldiers of Daqi, among which braised chicken was indispensable.

To ensure the soldiers could have a good meal on New Year's Eve, his men had been buying chickens and ducks.

"You said last time that it's impossible to please everyone, some people eat spicy food and some don't. Why don't you have the cooks prepare more dishes and let the soldiers choose for themselves?"

Inspired by Lin Yuesha, Qi Heng thought the self-selected model was quite good.

"That would be great!"

For the New Year's Eve dinner, choose what you like to eat, and no one has to compromise for anyone else.

On ordinary days, we eat radishes and cabbage every meal, but the New Year's Eve dinner must include both vegetables and meat, and be plentiful.

We started preparing a day or two in advance, and making dumplings allowed all the soldiers to participate, creating a lively atmosphere.
