His expression changed instantly.
This is?
I have heard that people are more likely to have physical reactions when they are facing life and death... A mix of nausea, disgust, and irritability swirled in Yuwen Sheng's heart.
He couldn't accept being physically touched by someone of the same sex, and the instinctive murderous intent that rose within him made him want to kill Zheng Quchi with a single palm strike.
He had completely forgotten who attacked whom first.
But in the end, Yuwen Sheng restrained himself. Thinking that the relationship between Zheng Quchi and her was not yet completely clear, he simply pushed her away with one hand.
His push caused Zheng Quchi a lot of pain; he fell hard on his bottom and was in excruciating pain.
Fortunately, after her series of clever maneuvers, she was convinced that Yuwen Sheng would no longer doubt her "manly nature."
His unfathomable eyes stared intently at Zheng Quchi, and after a moment of observation, he said, "No wonder..."
To be honest, compared to Brother Sang and Sister Sang (he never contacts them privately and still doesn't know their family name, he just assumes they are surnamed Zheng because Zheng Quchi's surname is Zheng), this brother and sister look alike, both with dark skin and both short.
He had never thought about it before, but once he discovered the connection between them, he became truly convinced that the two of them couldn't possibly be completely unrelated.
"Then why is your surname Sang, while hers is Zheng?"
“I take my father’s surname, and she takes her mother’s surname.”
Wei Yao's lips twitched as she listened to her explanation.
Well... what a carefree family! They can have whichever surname they want.
Wei Yao didn't care about the general's wife's status or position. The main thing was that he had met the general's wife once before, and through his meticulous observation, he had already guessed that the general's wife's social status in Fu County was not high.
So... it's not surprising that she's the younger sister of a craftsman. What surprised him the most was that Sang Xuanqing had such a relationship with the general's wife. It was like a hot chestnut popping out of a cold wok.
Unlike Wei Yao, who accepted it well, Wang Zebang broke out in a cold sweat, his face turned ashen, and he was somewhat unwilling to accept this fact.
In his mind, the perfect and virtuous general's wife, even if not the daughter of a high-ranking official, should be a woman from a scholarly family, literate and polite, gentle and kind, and capable of being both elegant in public and domestic.
But how could she... come from a family of artisans, and be the sister of Sang Xuanqing, whose identity is questionable and who looks like a black rat?!
How could a general possibly fall for a woman like that?
Wang Zebang quickly tried to comfort himself.
Perhaps, she... is different from Sang Xuanqing. There's a saying that goes, "Bad bamboo produces good shoots." Perhaps she is a peerless white lotus that emerges from the mud unsullied. In any case, she could never be as dark and ugly as Sang Xuanqing, looking like a short, stout gourd!
Yuwen Sheng discerned the truthfulness of Zheng Quchi's words, and asked calmly, "Does your sister know who Liu Fengmian is?"
When he mentioned "younger sister," his voice paused slightly, making Zheng Quchi inexplicably sense a hint of nervousness.
absurd!
Absolutely not.
It must be her imagination.
But... how should I answer this?
Know?
And I don't know for sure.
have no idea?
Yes, Sang Xuanqing could know, but Zheng Quchi has always been a marginal figure, so naturally he shouldn't know.
Having made up his mind, Zheng Quchi replied, "She probably doesn't know... I've been working away from home to pay off my family's debts, and I couldn't even make it back for her wedding. I only found out about everything recently after receiving her ten-day report."
At this point, she still couldn't understand why Yuwen Sheng was so concerned about Liu Fengmian's affairs. Surely the two of them couldn't have some kind of extraordinary relationship.
"Besides, I don't know who Liu Fengmian is. I only guess that he should be someone close to the general. So naturally I can't tell my sister the situation. I wanted to find out more..." She stopped abruptly. It was probably because she said something similar that Yuwen Sheng went crazy.
Now she had to be more careful, lest she accidentally touch a nerve: "Uh, I won't ask anymore."
Sure enough, Yuwen Sheng's mood soured again at the mention of this, and he even threatened his superiors.
He spoke softly, as if instructing a mischievous child: "Don't tell her, or... I will kill you without hesitation."
This is not a threat, it's pure intimidation.
Zheng Quchi shuddered slightly: "...Fine, I won't say then."
She's right here, who else would she need to talk to?
But what does the affair between "Liu Fengmian" and "Zheng Quchi" have to do with Yuwen Sheng?
Why did he interfere, and why did he forbid her from revealing the details of "Liu Fengmian"?
It couldn't be that he cared about his subordinates and was worried that working under "Liu Fengmian" would damage his reputation, so he deliberately concealed the truth from his wife.
eccentric.
Something's not right.
There's a problem.
Zheng Quchi always felt that there might be some unspeakable secret involved.
This secret is either about Yuwen Sheng or Liu Fengmian!
He didn't know that Zheng Quchi was Sang Xuanqing, and Sang Xuanqing was Zheng Quchi. Did he really think that the two of them could keep it a secret from their "sister"?
She has now realized there is a problem, so she must find out the background of "Liu Fengmian" and find out if there is anything wrong with him!
Yuwen Sheng's long, jet-black hair cascaded smoothly over his shoulders, and the corners of his rosy lips curled up in a slightly wicked smile: "Does she know about your affairs?"
Zheng Quchi was quick-witted at this moment, and immediately knew that he was asking about his past as a spy for the Julu Kingdom.
