Chapter 373 Life is Like a Play



As soon as the group entered the restaurant, Lin Yuxin arrogantly yelled at Qiu Jingfan:

"You idiot! Don't you know how to support me? Be careful, or I'll have my husband sell you off!"

Qiu Jingfan quickly put on a tearful expression and said aggrievedly:

"Madam, I was wrong, please have mercy!"

The locals eating nearby were all talking about what they saw, but no one came to help.

After all, slaves had no human rights in this era, and the slaves would only watch for amusement.

Ignoring the surrounding chatter, Lin Yuxin continued to grumble and was helped back to the restaurant by Qiu Jingfan.

Li Xiaochen followed behind and entered the restaurant together.

Li Xiaochen and Lin Yuxin shared a room in the top-tier room, Qiu Jingfan shared a room, and Cheng Tinghao and Wang Yu shared a room, so that Wang Yu could protect them nearby.

Although the emperor sent people to protect him in secret, there still needs to be a servant to take care of the young master's daily life, right?

Everyone exchanged glances and went into their own rooms, except for Qiu Jingfan, who was serving Lin Yuxin in her room and being scolded like a dog.

From room number one, Lin Yuxin yelled at Qiu Jingfan again:

"Get out! Useless thing, what, trying to seduce the master by staying here? I think you're asking for a beating!"

"Smack!"

"Madam, spare me! I didn't! I'm innocent!"

Qiu Jingfan's sobbing voice came from inside.

Li Xiaochen entered at the opportune moment and coaxed Lin Yuxin in a low voice:

"Why is Madam angry again? My husband is heartbroken! What kind of girl are you? You've made Madam angry again! Get out! Don't get in Madam's way."

"yes!"

When Qiu Jingfan came out, he was covering his face with tears streaming down his face, looking very pitiful.

After he left, Li Xiaochen held Lin Yuxin and listened to the surrounding sounds. After a while, he nodded to Lin Yuxin.

Lin Yuxin finally relaxed and lay down on the bed, not wanting to move.

This is unbearable! She's been acting all along, and it all feels so unreal. What's real and what's fake? Life really is like a play!

If she had known it would be this tiring, she would have preferred to set off secretly on her own! Following Qiu Jingfan was definitely not going to bring any good things.

"Xin Xin, don't sleep, get up and eat something before you sleep."

Seeing Lin Yuxin collapse onto the bed again, Li Xiaochen quickly went over and called out softly.

"No, I'm tired. I can't play anymore, I still have to act. I'm going to die, I don't want to move!"

Lin Yuxin was being unreasonable because she was genuinely exhausted. For the past ten days or so, besides the discomfort of being jostled in the carriage, she also had to act from time to time. Since she was already dressed up, she had to get into character, otherwise, given Qiu Qiyi's madness, he would find out something sooner or later!

Moreover, they were followed from the moment they left the capital. Li Xiaochen probed twice to find out who was behind them. One group was from the Zhao Kingdom, and they were even members of the Zhao Kingdom's royal guards.

It's obvious without even thinking that it's Qiu Qiyi's madman's men. The other team is from Qi. Their guards have already clashed with them several times, but haven't gained the upper hand. It's clear they've used their trump card.

"Then shall I feed you?"

Li Xiaochen slowly leaned down and whispered in Lin Yuxin's ear.

"No! I'll eat it myself! I'll eat it myself!"

Upon hearing this, Lin Yuxin's scalp tightened, and she sat up abruptly, as if she were dying. She pushed Li Xiaochen away and sat up.

He should feed her? If he does, it means feeding her in bed, which her body can't handle. She doesn't want to!!!

This story begins at our first stop. Lin Yuxin was already tired from the long carriage ride, and once she entered the inn, she didn't want to move, just like she is now. So Li Xiaochen offered to feed her.

She originally thought it would be good to have someone to serve her, especially since it was her husband, so why not? And that's why she agreed.

As a result, this scoundrel went too far and actually started feeding her mouth-to-mouth. As they were feeding her, things started to go wrong, and the next day, Li Xiaochen still had to carry her onto the carriage.

He completely lost face in front of Qiu Jingfan and Wang Yu.

Seeing Lin Yuxin's strong reaction, Li Xiaochen's eyes flashed with disappointment. He thought he was going to get some perks tonight, but it turned out he wasn't!

Lin Yuxin noticed his gaze, immediately got out of bed, and ran to the table to sit down, waiting for the food to be served, looking like a well-behaved child.

They ate their meals in their own rooms, slept after eating, and then set off again the next day.

So they were in a rush, and even when they were discussing important matters, they could only do so quietly in the car.

Lin Yuxin initially had a pretty good idea: since she was all disguised, no one should recognize her, and she could travel around and have fun, treating it as a vacation.

As it turned out, they were targeted as soon as they left the capital. After disguising themselves, they managed to shake off some of their pursuers, but their joy was short-lived, as an assassination attempt occurred.

Don't you know these people have a keen sense of smell? They're so good at it! They were practically dressed as beggars, and they still recognized each other?

They were so caught up in this that they couldn't play at all. They had to hide and travel constantly, and they also had to maintain a certain persona, otherwise there would be even more people chasing them.

She strongly suspected that someone had leaked their whereabouts; otherwise, why would there be so many pursuers? It was as if the assassins from Qi and Zhao were countless, killing one wave only to be followed by another.

Other people were also involved during this period.

Li Xiaochen has already sent a message to the Star-Picking Pavilion to investigate this matter, but there has been no news yet.

After finishing her meal, Lin Yuxin quickly washed up and went straight to sleep.

Li Xiaochen sighed helplessly as he looked at Lin Yuxin's lazy appearance.

He could only turn off the light, take off his outer robe, lie down, and then pull the restless girl into his arms.
