Chapter 942 Enemies Meet Again

It was such a coincidence that Red Peach saved White Shadow, but was beaten half to death by the Prince of Zhenbei, leaving her barely alive.

Bai Ying, still worried, risked going to rescue Hong Tao, but was severely injured by the guards around the Prince of Zhenbei.

Qi Heng had sent a message to Bai Ying beforehand, leaving the location, and the two rode their horses to escape to the fishing village.

Qi Heng briefly explained what had happened. He and Lin Yuesha had not yet been exposed, but Bai Ying and Hong Tao were already wanted and had to go into hiding.

Both were seriously injured and had developed high fevers, making it impossible for them to travel any further.

"In that case, I'll go borrow a boat from Sister Daya."

There's no time to lose; we can't delay any longer.

Lin Yuesha hurriedly ran to find Zhang Daya. With Lu the carpenter's prior notice, Zhang Daya readily agreed and volunteered to take Bai Ying and Hong Tao to the island.

Zhang Daya was very familiar with the surrounding environment.

“Miss Cloud, you don’t need to worry.”

Zhang Daya comforted Lin Yuesha, telling her that she knew what she was doing and what the consequences would be, but she didn't regret it.

As Lu the carpenter said, "A scholar will die for one who understands him," and since he had decided to follow Qi Heng, he would not change his mind.

"I'm a woman who follows her husband wherever he goes, and I don't have any relatives. If something goes wrong, I can take responsibility for it myself."

Zhang Daya pushed Lin Yuesha, but instead complained that Lin Yuesha was too fussy and not straightforward enough.

Lin Yuesha smiled bitterly. She simply didn't want to deceive or implicate innocent people. Since Lu the carpenter and Zhang Daya had this intention, Lin Yuesha didn't like owing favors and would definitely repay them.

"My wife, I have to go out for a while."

Qi Henggang had only simply concealed the traces, but there was still blood on the horse. He needed to distract the Wei family and lure them away.

It was so late, and Lin Yuesha was the only one left in the huge courtyard. Qi Heng was very worried.

"There's no time to lose, don't delay."

Lin Yuesha, having just been looked down upon by Zhang Daya, followed the chain of contempt and looked down on Qi Heng, saying, "Don't be so fussy, you're a man. I'm very shrewd."

Pushing Qi Heng out the door, Lin Yuesha was troubled by the bloodstains in the yard. Covering up the bloodstains required filling them with soil, but filling the yard with new soil would be easily noticed. So, her evil claws reached for the two chickens that Lu the carpenter had bought.

These two chickens were originally part of the betrothal gifts that Lu the carpenter prepared for Zhang Daya's family, but Lin Yuesha, without hesitation, took them all.

Boil water, pluck the chicken feathers, then chop it into pieces. Throw in the ginseng you swiped from Yuwen Kun, and once the chicken soup is ready, give it to Brother Bai and Hongtao to nourish their bodies.

Lin Yuesha took a deep breath and waited for the Wei family's search to begin.

She can't panic; if she does, her true intentions will be easily noticed.

Therefore, Lin Yuesha picked out the steamed crabs, drank a cup of wine, and sat under the lamp to eat the crabs to bolster her courage.

The fishing village doesn't have a large population because the land is vast and neighboring courtyards are far apart.

As night fell, the sound of the waves crashing and the howling north wind, in the quiet night, became somewhat eerie.

Before, when Qi Heng was by her side, Lin Yuesha only felt comfortable, but now, she felt very flustered.

She closed her eyes, her mind filled with corpses, lying haphazardly, and the nightmares she had, the stark white bones in the tunnels of Helian City's mansion...

"Bang bang bang!"

A loud banging sounded at the door.

The Wei family has arrived, and so early?

Lin Yuesha was very fortunate that Zhang Daya had already sent the people away, otherwise they would be trapped in the room right now, and Qi Heng alone would not be able to escape with the two seriously injured people.

Lin Yuesha opened the door and stared at the person at the door. After a moment of silence, they both exclaimed in surprise almost simultaneously, "It's you!"

Li Ruoshuang pointed at Lin Yuesha, trembling with anger. They had met this woman on the road before; she was the wife of a traveling doctor, an absolute swindler!

On the way, the city lord was ambushed and killed. The traveling doctor and his wife ran away faster than rabbits. Not only did they escape, but they also stole a number of ginseng that she was guarding. They were simply shameless scoundrels!

As fate would have it, they unexpectedly met again in a fishing village by the sea in Yingcheng.

"What's wrong?"

Yuwen Kun got off the carriage and was taken aback when he saw Lin Yuesha.

Then, he said with amusement, "Doctor's wife, we really are destined to meet."

The itinerant doctor was a wandering physician who made his home anywhere in the world. Yuwen Kun had never heard that the two of them lived in Yingcheng, so how did they suddenly appear by the sea?

Lin Yuesha remained silent; she didn't want this kind of fate at all.

"You've mistaken me for someone else, haven't you?"

Lin Yuesha clumsily tried to cover it up by using her body to block the iron gate.

The moment Lin Yuesha saw Li Ruoshuang appear at the door, she had a brilliant idea.

The Wei family was busy capturing Qi Heng's subordinates, so using Yuwen Kun to distract them was the perfect solution.

All I can say is that Yuwen Kun and his group were unlucky to have run into her.

Based on Lin Yuesha's understanding of Yuwen Kun, he was awkward, stubborn, and twisted. If she opened her door to welcome him, he would definitely be suspicious of her.

Lin Yuesha did the opposite, and Li Ruoshuang immediately stepped forward and pushed Lin Yuesha, causing her to stumble.

Chicken soup was simmering in a large iron pot in the courtyard, and a decades-old ginseng root could be seen inside.

"I knew it smelled so good, turns out it was because of ginseng. Look, we've caught them red-handed."

Li Ruoshuang curled her lips in a mocking smile. Her city lord had never suffered such a loss before, being tricked by the traveling doctor and his wife. Those two lowly people were quite good at stealing.

The carriage was empty.

Lin Yuesha was suspicious. Yuwen Kun was so affectionate; surely he wouldn't abandon Miaoyin halfway through? Could it be that Miaoyin had given herself away? She quickly asked tentatively, "Where is that lady?"

Yuwen Kun led Li Ruoshuang inside and looked around.

"How dare you inquire about my wife's affairs?"

Li Ruoshuang pouted. Originally, Miaoyin had been traveling with the two of them.

It's unclear where the news leaked, but wave after wave of people came to ambush them along the way. After Miaoyin cut her finger on a broken teacup, Yuwen Kun resolutely decided to use himself as bait and separate from Miaoyin.

Li Ruoshuang was very disdainful. How big could a scratch on a teacup be? It would heal in the blink of an eye. Look how anxious the city lord is.

"The lady is kind and gentle, and she is very polite to us common folk."

Lin Yuesha offered her explanation, and Yuwen Kun nodded repeatedly. He was traveling with Li Ruoshuang when they got separated from his men. They planned to rest in the fishing village for two days before continuing their journey to Sishui City.

Upon entering the village, it was dark, with only one house in the farthest distance faintly illuminated by light.

Not wanting to disturb the others by knocking on the door, Yuwen Kun instructed Li Ruoshuang to knock on the door and ask for lodging.

“My lord, to be honest, my husband and I are also staying at a villager’s house.”

Lin Yuesha explained that this trip was truly a chance encounter, and it was definitely not something she did intentionally.

"Of course it was a chance encounter, it's just that we're destined to meet again. You stole the ginseng, and you still dare to show your face in front of the city lord?"

Li Ruoshuang no longer concealed Yuwen Kun's identity, but instead threatened Lin Yuesha, saying, "Whether you can keep your head or not depends entirely on your performance from now on."
