Chapter 1025 A woman who knows how to be charming has a good life
Miao Yin's eyes revealed a hint of relief. Li Ruoshuang was really shrewd; having such a ruthless accomplice was a great help to her.
Miaoyin wanted to kill Bai Dingfeng, but she wanted to wait for Li Ruoshuang to say it first.
Miaoyin pretended to be indecisive and followed orders, which would make Li Ruoshuang feel more at ease with her.
Miaoyin was suffering inside. To survive, she had to use her wits and courage. Sometimes she couldn't figure out whose undercover agent she was.
"Miaoyin, the city lord has become somewhat distant from you. Don't you intend to take things further?"
If a man and woman do not consummate their marriage, there will always be a gap. Yuwen Kun must be allowed to experience the pleasures of the bedroom.
"It's not that I'm unwilling."
Miao Yin covered her face. She had never considered her own innocence when she was an undercover agent, and she was willing to sacrifice herself if necessary. However, Yuwen Kun was not willing.
Every time they reached a crucial step, Yuwen Kun would find an excuse to escape, leaving them stuck in a limbo.
With Yuwen Kun's physique, Miaoyin wouldn't lose out by following him; it's like finding a handsome male prostitute for free.
"That's why I say a lie can never become the truth."
Li Ruoshuang sighed. No one could match the city lord's self-control. Even if a beauty took off her clothes, the city lord wouldn't even glance at her.
How could she not be moved by a man like that?
Li Ruoshuang originally thought that Miaoyin had the same face as Lin Yuesha and was born with a unique advantage, but in fact, Miaoyin had been by the city lord's side for a while without making any progress.
"Miss Li, do you have a solution?"
Miaoyin threw away the hot potato and followed Li Ruoshuang's instructions.
"You really are... Why did Helian Cheng send you?"
With that kind of brain, Miaoyin would have been exposed long ago without her help.
Li Ruoshuang suspected that Helian Cheng was clueless and as foolish as Miaoyin.
"No one knows the art of disguise except me."
Miaoyin answered very honestly, leaving Li Ruoshuang speechless.
It's okay if someone is a little stupid, the key is to be obedient.
Li Ruoshuang was in control of everything. Every time she saw Yuwen Kun, she felt an indescribable sense of pleasure, as if she were the only one who knew the truth.
"Eliminating Bai Dingfeng and taking the opportunity to get closer to the city lord can be done simultaneously."
An idea flashed into Li Ruoshuang's mind, and she immediately made the decision.
"you say."
Miao Yin listened attentively, pondering the possibility in her mind.
"Tonight at the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet, Bai Dingfeng will serve crabs and will definitely try to persuade you to eat them. If his deduction is correct, you should develop a red rash on your neck, just like last time."
This rash must be hidden.
Li Ruoshuang had already inquired about this kind of herbal soup, and if taken before eating crab, it would prevent rashes from appearing for a short period of time.
The first step was to thwart Bai Dingfeng's plan.
On the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival, while worshipping the moon, Li Ruoshuang persuaded Bai Dingfeng to drink, and then invited him to the back garden.
"Now you understand, right?"
Li Ruoshuang explained step by step, just in case there was any oversight or mistake due to incorrect calculations.
"don't know."
Pretending not to know what she doesn't, Miaoyin would never show off her intelligence.
"Oh dear, I'm just destined to worry."
Li Ruoshuang gritted her teeth and said, "I'll lure Bai Dingfeng to the back garden, and then you'll pretend he's flirting with you, understand?"
No man can accept his woman being coveted by another man, and Yuwen Kun is especially jealous. He can turn a blind eye to his own woman, but he will never allow anyone else to have improper thoughts.
"When the time comes, you can cry and whine, tearfully accusing the city lord of neglecting you and throwing a tantrum. Just tell him to beg him to let you go back to Daqi."
A woman should have a temper; otherwise, if she is too obedient and sensible, she will seem bland and tasteless.
Women who know how to be charming have good fortune, but Miaoyin suffered because she didn't know how to be charming.
Give Yuwen Kun a slap, then give him a sweet treat; first torment his body and mind, then throw yourself into his arms.
"Miaoyin, you must make the city lord feel guilty towards you."
Li Ruoshuang rattled off what she had learned from storybooks, and Miaoyin, not understanding, asked questions. The two inexperienced people instantly felt like they had become Casanovas.
“Miss Li, I understand all of this.”
Miaoyin thought this was a good idea. She planned to wear a transparent, thin silk bodice and pretend to be teased the next day, revealing a large patch of magnolia blossoms on her chest to provoke Yuwen Kun.
"If anything changes, I will inform you in advance."
Li Ruoshuang was very satisfied with the two's plan.
After making the arrangements, Li Ruoshuang helped Miaoyin with the preparations.
As the lanterns were lit, the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet began, with Yuwen Kun entertaining his subordinates in the flower hall of the city lord's mansion.
In Sishui City, women held a high status. Men sat on the left and women on the right, with each person having a small table in front of them.
Miaoyin sat on the ground, and not far away was Weilan's table.
After the sound of string and bamboo instruments began, the servants started serving the dishes, with the whole roasted lamb still the same in the center.
Wei Lan ate without any appetite, occasionally exchanging glances with Bai Dingfeng across from her.
"The Mid-Autumn Festival feast is held when the crabs are at their fattest."
Bai Dingfeng sent someone to present the crabs, saying to Miaoyin, "Madam, the crabs are at their fattest and most delicious at this time of year. I am just offering them to you."
Yuwen Kun turned his head and asked, "Young Master Bai is very thoughtful. Does Madam like it?"
Yuwen Kun frowned slightly, disliking other men fawning over his woman. He had heard from Li Ruoshuang that if Li Ruoxue hadn't been so eager to win him over, Bai Dingfeng would have actually been quite fond of Lin Yuesha.
The Bai family looked down on Lin Yuesha's family background. Although Lin Shusheng held an official position, she was, after all, a daughter raised in the north who was not valued. The Bai family was afraid they couldn't help her and also disliked Lin Yuesha's young age, which is why the relationship didn't work out.
His wife liked to eat crabs, but Yuwen Kun didn't know that. Bai Dingfeng beat him to it, which made him unhappy.
Bai Dingfeng was a shrewd man. He noticed that Yuwen Kun's expression was not quite right and hurriedly defended himself: "I am classmates with the lady's brother, so I know him quite well."
"Thank you for your kindness, Young Master Bai."
Miaoyin took the chopsticks, but didn't pick them up.
Wei Lan, who was standing nearby, saw this and urged, "I added ginger shreds to the steamed river crabs to remove the fishy smell, so please eat them while they're hot."
"My lord, I am feeling unwell."
Miao Yin ignored Wei Lan, narrowed her eyes, and watched Bai Dingfeng and Wei Lan jumping around, thinking she was such a smart person.
"Madam looks well, could it be...?"
Wei Lan had anticipated that the imposter would refuse, so she had a backup plan.
After exchanging a glance with Bai Dingfeng, Wei Lan immediately said in a panic, "Although crabs taste good at this time of year, they are extremely cold in nature. If Madam is pregnant, she cannot eat a single bite."
Upon hearing Wei Lan's words, Yuwen Kun's expression darkened further.
He didn't consummate his marriage after getting married, a fact known only to himself. For some reason, he always felt something was off.
Every time Yuwen Kun saw Lin Yuesha's face, he felt guilty. Lately, he would often think of the doctor's wife he met in Daqi and even had the urge to kidnap her.
"I cannot disappoint Madam Bai's kind invitation."
Miaoyin gave a self-deprecating smile. Li Ruoshuang helped her dismantle the crabs, and Miaoyin ate four or five in one go in front of everyone.
