Chapter 877 Qi Heng's Sharp and Intense Words

As dusk fell, the mansion of the city lord of Wucheng was adorned with lanterns and colorful decorations.

Lin Yuesha bought scented candles and arranged them in the shape of a heart on the table. She also hung red gauze curtains in the inner room as decoration, making it look like a wedding hall.

Sitting in front of the dressing mirror, Lin Yuesha smiled faintly.

"My wife, the moonlight is so beautiful tonight. How about I draw your eyebrows for you?"

Qi Heng took the initiative to stand behind Lin Yuesha and nodded slightly at the blurry, yellowish reflection in the bronze mirror.

"Which is more beautiful, the moonlight or your wife?"

Lin Yuesha feigned annoyance, but her own melodious voice gave her goosebumps.

If she hadn't exchanged secret signals with Qi Heng to learn that the Great Demon had brought Miaoyin, she would never have acted this way; it would have been too damaging to her image.

Even if there is affection between a man and a woman, there is no need to make it so strange. Generally, only opera troupes would make such an exaggerated performance.

In winter, it gets dark early; before dusk, it's already pitch black.

Yuwen Kun and Miaoyin were eavesdropping through the back window, and he also found a perfect spot for Miaoyin to look inside.

Inside the room, Qi Heng was combing Lin Yuesha's hair. The couple occasionally exchanged glances, their eyes filled with affection.

Whether Lin Yuesha was acting or not, Miaoyin didn't know, but she had to perform now. If she didn't go along with Yuwen Kun's wishes, it would cause another uproar.

"That woman looks exactly like me?"

Miaoyin touched her cheek, covered her chest with her hand, and froze in shock.

"Yes, they just look the same."

Yuwen Kun scoffed. The woman in the room was petite and delicate, her body seemingly boneless, clinging to Qi Heng. She was definitely not the kind of woman he had his eye on.

Lin Yuesha had never been so frivolous before; look at those lecherous hands, taking advantage of Qi Heng without restraint.

People aren't blind; who would grope a pockmarked face like that?

Yuwen Kun guessed that the imposter in the room was Qi Heng's subordinate, forced into this situation.

“I understand why he rescued my cousin. If it were between my cousin and me, I would have chosen to rescue my cousin too, but he…”

Miaoyin recalled what Qi Heng had taught her, and Lin Yuesha, who always valued family ties, said sadly.

"Yue Sha, I brought you here not to make you sad, but I have to make you see Qi Heng's true colors."

Snowflakes were falling outside the window, and Yuwen Kun used his body to shield Miaoyin from the wind.

Inside the room, a charcoal brazier was burning, and the windows had to be opened for ventilation. Qi Heng specially opened the back window so that the two eavesdroppers could see the entire interior. He had even tested it beforehand.

He gently patted Lin Yuesha's shoulder three times. Lin Yuesha's brow twitched, and she thought to herself, "Here it comes!"

"My husband, you haven't answered my question. Is the moonlight more beautiful, or is my wife more beautiful?"

Lin Yuesha tilted her head and asked persistently.

"Of course, my wife is more beautiful."

It's snowing tonight, and there's no moon at all.

"You mean, if it weren't a snowy day and the moonlight wasn't bright, I wouldn't be as beautiful as the moonlight?"

The show was about to begin when Lin Yuesha stood up dramatically, snatched the ox-horn comb from Qi Heng's hand, and huffed, "Then go sleep with the moon!"

What outrageous and inappropriate language! Lin Yuesha was on the verge of a breakdown while reciting her lines.

Based on the lines designed by Qi Heng, Lin Yuesha suspected that he was a seasoned pro.

But Qi Heng said that if he didn't speak more bluntly and frivolously, and didn't satisfy Yuwen Kun's curiosity about eavesdropping, he would have to come a second time.

It's better to design it well and let the other party see it all at once.

“My mother-in-law said that you were born at night, and she was thinking of giving you the nickname Moon.”

So sleeping with the moon is actually sleeping in the same bed as Lin Yuesha.

Lin Yuesha: ...

She couldn't continue; that line wasn't in the script, and it was even cornier than a cheesy pickup line.

"That's what my mother told you, so why isn't my nickname 'Moon'?"

Lin Yuesha truly believed it, because the original owner did indeed give birth at night. At that time, her mother was in difficult labor and had been in pain for a day and a night. If she couldn't give birth, both mother and daughter would be in danger.

“My mother-in-law said that there is only a moon at night, but she hopes that you can see more light and the beautiful things in the world.”

Qi Heng started making things up, but Chen Shi, being less educated, didn't yet have the skill to do so.

"So, my nickname became Xiaoya."

Well, giving her a humble name makes it easier to raise her. Girls in the village are given names very casually. Thinking about how her younger brother was called "Little Dumb," Lin Yuesha didn't feel any resentment.

While Lin Yuesha was contemplating life, Qi Heng had already taken the eyebrow powder and started drawing her eyebrows.

"Husband, are you sure you can handle it?"

When a man draws his eyebrows, it's easy for them to end up looking like two caterpillars. Besides, Qi Heng doesn't even think he looks ugly wearing a pockmarked mask every day, so Lin Yuesha has doubts about Qi Heng's skill level.

"My wife, please don't ask me that question again. It's a challenge for me, and it makes me want to prove myself."

After Qi Heng finished speaking, Lin Yuesha was stunned. She never expected Qi Heng to be like this. What's wrong with you tonight? Are you possessed?

She suspected Qi Heng was driving, and she had evidence!

Not daring to continue the topic, Lin Yuesha worried that the great demon outside the window would be provoked.

In reality, the two of them had been taken on a rollercoaster ride by Qi Heng and Lin Yuesha's conversation.

Yuwen Kun was only slightly surprised. After all, there were many hypocrites these days. Qi Heng, disguised as a scholar, had done many despicable things. Miao Yin's shock was definitely a natural reaction. She never expected that Qi Heng and Lin Yuesha had such a good relationship.

No wonder Qi Heng risked his life to get Lin Yuesha back, sparing no expense to win back the woman he loved.

“I…I really couldn’t believe it if I hadn’t seen it with my own eyes.”

It took a long time for Miaoyin to find her voice.

"You can know a person's face but not their heart."

Yuwen Kun became interested and pulled Miaoyin into his arms. The two continued to stake out the spot.

Outside it was freezing cold, but inside the room the temperature was comfortable.

After Qi Heng finished drawing her eyebrows, Lin Yuesha turned to look in the mirror and discovered that Qi Heng's eyebrow drawing skills were quite good. The flame drawn with cinnabar on her brow was like the finishing touch, making Lin Yuesha shed her naivety and become even more beautiful.

"Tell me honestly, have you ever drawn portraits of women before?"

Lin Yuesha stood up and, feigning jealousy, pressed him for an answer.

It couldn't be the first time. How could someone draw so well on their first try? She didn't believe it.

"I swear to God, I have never done this before."

Qi Heng raised three fingers and pointed to the roof to swear an oath.

This was the first time he had ever drawn eyebrows for a woman, but in his dreams, he had drawn them for Lin Yuesha countless times.

"I don't need you to swear, I'm just surprised that you drew so well on your first try."

People in ancient times never made oaths lightly, so Lin Yuesha quickly slapped Qi Heng's hand away, admitting that Qi Heng had talent.

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder; no matter how you are painted, you are the most beautiful in my heart.

Qi Heng was very grateful to Yuwen Kun. If Yuwen Kun hadn't insisted on eavesdropping, he would never have had the chance to speak his mind.

"I want more than just to be the most beautiful in your heart."

Lin Yuesha touched her face and said smugly, "I also want to be the most beautiful in other people's eyes."
